When I begun secondary school, my grandfather gave me a geometry box, a metal one. It was like something one must have to battle mathematics in secondary school. I can't recall what instruments were in the box, but I distinctively remember the picture on the lid of of the box. My best friend and I dreamed to go and study there one day. It was none other than the impressive building of Oxford University in UK. We did not get to go there, instead we went to University of Malaya to obtain our first degrees.
However, I did get to go to the UK for my post graduate degree after graduating from University of Malaya. I have forgotten about the picture on the geometry box until I came across it while cleaning my room prior to the trip to UK. I had to smile. I was going there after all. That was in the year of 1976.
