Remember in my previous post,I mentioned that I once lived in a hostel for girls with problematic families??I suddenly felt a wave of nostalgia when I thought about it just now!Shall let you guys know more about it.

I lived in Marymount Hostel near Thomson Rd when I was about 9 years old.Yeah,that was 8 years ago.It was basically like a typical hostel,just that it looks abit run down and creepy at times.It was managed by Catholic Sisters(don't know whether I got the term right) whom wanted to provide a shelter for girls that have broken families or broken hearts(intepret it in anyway you want haha). It was located in a ulu part of Thomson Road and since I studied in New Town Pri Sch then,the journey to school requires 1hr and 20 mins.

I guessed I was the youngest among the girls who were already in the hostel.They looked hostile and intimidating when I just arrived and I was bloody afraid of them(some of them were from Girls' home previously).After a while,I became friends with all of them!Guess its easier to be friends when you have something in common with them.Life in the hostel was basically mundane.You will have to do household chores like sweeping and mopping the floor after you had your breakfast.Then whenever you need to leave the hostel,you will have to write down your activities in this log book.Strict right?No television,phone or radio at night(simply said,no mass media at all) too,my nights are spent doing homework or reading=(The Sisters run the hostel like a military camp.

What I missed most about the hostel is the friends that I have made!So many of them have the same plight as me.Worse still,many of them are not accepted by their families for one reason or another.So many bittersweet stories behind every faces.So many broken hearts underneath that strong exterior!

Since there were no internet/MSN/handphones in that era,I have absolutely no contact with anyone of them when I left.Saying my 'Goodbye' then was a real heartbreak.When that day finally came,I took hours to pack my bag and clear up my wardrobe.When I saw my Mum walking towards me in the distance,I burst into tears.I knew that I would never be able to see those girls again.Then again,its good that my Mum came for me.At least I knew that they will feel happy for me as I would be reunited with my family again.

I wonder how are they doing now?Would they still remember me?I still remember their names and faces even though I had never seen them again when I left.They are Lay Hiang,Laura,Sze Hui,Hui Ying,Evelyn,Joanne,Cheryl,Constance,Sandy,Miao Hua and Karvander!Where are they now?Are they still in the hostel?Or perhaps God is kind to them and let them have their own families or jobs?So many questions but no answers.I really wished to meet up with them again!I dread that perhaps,I will never get to meet them again for the rest of my life..

So if affinity permits,I really hope to have any contacts with anyone of them.Curse the technology back then!Haha,hopefully heaven will allow me to bump into anyone of them on the streets,I'll sure recognise them!Sometimes I really thank God(s) for giving me such a fantabulous memory.Guess its a gift from heaven for making me suffer for the early part of my life.

Speaking of my memory,I think I'm really gifted in that area.Haha,so don't try to argue with me over things that have taken place.I will be able to pick out all the things that you have done or said that will put you in the bad light.Even though sometimes I happened to 'forget' certain details when scanning my ram,actually it was all in pretense.I only do so when I don't want the other party to feel important(that I can remember all the things that he/she say) or simply just so that we can have more things to talk about.Sounds bo liao right?That's the way I am haha.
