I drove past my old primary school about a week ago when I visited my Dad, and noticed the school has undergone a major renovation. The school I went to no longer was there; there were now new buildings in it's place, modernised to the 2000 theme. The old brick, 70s style buildings no longer there.
The playgrounds had been renovated as well, completely. Gone were the wooden building blocks of the 80s style with tyres and so forth, and in their place were bright, shiny, colourful slides and playground set, with rubberised shock floors, and not the wooden chips we used to land on.
The school I attended.. no longer existed. But I still remember clearly what it looks like in my mind, and how impressed I was the first time I saw such a huge oval. Afterall, I had switched from the tiny St Michaels catholic school that had no grass, to this huge, huge, huge oval. Well, huge back then in my mind when I first saw it, because the school was.. 3 times the size of St. Michaels.
Good memories, they were. But I guess it made me realise that very few things in our world lasts. We're all susceptible to new technology, and moving on with the times.
