the school bell rings sharply at nine-twenty in the morning, echoes across the classroom, are the usual 'Selamat Pagi, cikgu'.
fast forward to nine-forty, boring lessons and classes requires essay crafting and dream jobs listing, instead, we wrote fan letters to be the filial wives of members from boybands
fast forward to noon, we were hooked on stories, from breakups of social divas to everyone's future college plans. those were the days, that should never end.
fast forward to today, it's now nine-twenty, greetings for teachers, are now meetings with bosses, essays are now reports, compadres are now colleagues.
memories are the sweet in the word 'bittersweet', and I'm starting to miss the taste, every time the clock strikes exactly at nine-twenty.
