The Opera Populaire

Found my juniors from St. John's on Friendster and decided to add them. Yes, everyone of us have grown up and changed from those days in the past. Seeing their photos made me really nostalgic about those sweet, innocent days. No worries about your financial status, finding a job that suits you, no boys to take you on emotional roller-coaster rides...

I have a soft spot for the "grey tag" batch. This is the highly intelligent and capable batch and we had every hope of training them to the standards of the 1980s when SNGS was the top name in the HQ. Although I exercised every bit of strictness over them, I also became very fond of them. A few of them became my secret pals, one or two out of their own accord and not out of previous arrangements. Back then, I think I had about 3 or 4 secret pals (some from other levels) and letters and gifts were flying to and fro, delivered by middlemen (or fake middlemen, as some of them turned out hehe).

As I scrolled through their photos, I can almost hear and read the words they said or write to me so long ago. I still treasure this Tigger soft toy they gave me for my birthday then, in addition to other gifts. But more precious than that, is the friendship we shared, even though we no longer keep in contact. Sigh, sigh....super nostalgic day today :)
