July 23, 2007
Lots of things happened recently, but i guess i just want to dedicate this post to hcco..
Wanted to blog about hcco coming to an end after syf showcase, but guess i was too tired after "dragging" my cello across half of hwachong campus to find the gate closed and have to walk a round-about way to get out of the campus at 10 plus in the night after showcase. That night really wanted to blog, cos suddenly so much thoughts just came into my mind, but decided to leave it until after qing gong yan.
Had qing gong yan like last sat at botanical gardens function room. Bought new slippers, but didn't really want to wear it there cos it is like..slippers in botanical gardens??!! And it is not those kind of beach flip-flops, as in it is REAL slippers. But my mum was like making noise about it being a function room etc, so i just wore it in the end. Ended up feeling so embarrassed cos everyone is like wearing flip-flops and sandals, so i went barefoot most of the time. The moment i stepped into the room, i just saw a HCCO casino. Haha, dunno how many grps there were playing cards. Of course there were ppl reading harry potter (which reminds me, i'm still on the second book -_-").
Anyway, had the most unusual catering for dinner, cos the juniors got like indian food for us. So we had like curry fish, curry chicken, rice (those indian kind), triangular-shaped curry puffs, teh tarik/lime juice, and the highlight - prata man! Haha, gave the prata miss, cos i had chocolate fondue with my parents at andersen before going for qing gong yan, but the way others eat it must be really yummy, given that we can choose egg/cheese/mushroom/onion..
After dinner, we had like a video presentation that was prepared by szuan. Rah, seeing those pics did really bring out memories, at least i felt like crying for some moments. Then was like thinking about the past 1.5 yrs. There will be like no more:
Gossiping among dyb ppl during dazu,
Listening to shengbin crapped,
Laughing at wan chien for her accident-prone nature,
Laugh when andrea starts poking kang or weixin,
Seeing that pro eddie and xuanping talking seriously about music stuff,
Laugh at liu hao's eyebrow for being so eunuch-ish or his 3 rumoured affairs,
Having eunice waking me up whenever i fall asleep, or scaring eunice when i attempt to poke her, or lending eunice my arm to provide warmth for her hands,
Seeing xiaowei's teeth chatter when it is too cold,
Crapping with the exco or feeling sad over the syf people elimination,
Chasing people for money, esp chris seah (not that i really like it)
Learning pipa from stella or chuanhan,
Discussing co stuff with sutyee, esp during syf period,
Rolling my eyes whenever i have to get wei lao to sign after every prac,
Passing receipts and getting loads of money from ms tan,
Competing with 852 gang to see 154 or 852 comes first,
Gossiping with dorea and kang on the bus,
etc etc etc.
Bleah, guess that even though i'm not that attached to hcco this organisation itself, but the ppl there are really great. They were the reason why i still stay in hcco i guess, and why i quit strings at the first place. Although there were times that i feel gek over hcco, or start comparing hcco and dhsco, i will be missing the times i had with these people. Perhaps that's why all of us were like scrambling to take lots of photos with one another, like the funny act cool photos of exco, and the bo-liao photos that i took with dyb.
Anyway, sth very gek happened, i wrote letters for some ppl, but left them in the car and went for qing gong yan, and the best thing is, my dad threw them all away -_-".
Guess this is really the end of the journey, for the j1s juniors, hope that you will bond together as a batch and continue to keep hcco's reputation, and for my fellow j2s batchmates, must have more 'sudden co gatherings' at the class benches and let's all jiayou for the upcoming disgusting prelims and As!!! =)

Haha, wasn't really thinking of blogging, but after reading sutyee's recent posts (which are quite a lot), suddenly i had those kind of 'you gan er fa' feeling. Her posts suddenly reminded me that there's only like about 3 more months to A's, and even a shorter time to prelims. And, it also reminded me of the times i had with 06S76 and hcco, esp after the post on the recent class chalet, and also the very little time that i've left with them, esp for hcco, since it is actually a few more days. I can't believe that my jc life is coming to an end. Kind of expected these two years to be really fast and perhaps just a small little phase in my life, but didn't expect it to be THAT fast, and memorable at the same time. Perhaps the friendships forged may not be as deep as those that i had from secondary school, but they aren't that forgettable or meaningless too. At least these new friends aren't just going to be only some passer-bys.
Towards hcco, perhaps people may criticise for whatever i m going to say, but i have to admit that i've no form of attachment towards it, simply cos i haven't really enjoyed performing as a hcco member. Even the syf hasn't etched a deep impression in me as much as the previous syf two years ago. However, i can't really deny that i will start to miss co ppl after the coming showcase has ended, like my section mates and those ppl who goes home from the opp. bus stop, esp the 852 gang. Haha, won't forget how we always compete to see whose bus comes first.
Anyway, was thinking about my past 1.5 years in hcco, after seeing sutyee's statement that yest prac could show how much one loves hcco. Didn't go for yest prac myself, cos i didn't think that it is worthwhile since ppl will most likely be slacking. So even if i go and give my full concentration, there wouldn't be many ppl who will be doing the same thing. Remembered last year during hcco interaction, zhengyou once mentioned that those who ponned are one of the reasons why other ppl also ponned. So maybe people will say that i am contributing to the reasons why people are skipping yest prac. Oh well, but somehow i just feel like ever since i passed down, my commitment and responsibility to hcco just ended like that. So even if i feel guilty towards the juniors, i really can't convince myself that sat prac will be a worthwhile thing. Perhaps this is a form of irresponsibility..
Remembered myself getting irritated with ppl criticising dhsco or stereotyping it, but i didn't really voice it out cos i believed that everyone's entitled to their own opinions. I always held the belief that most people are more attached to their secondary school cos, and definitely are proud to be part of that co once. I remembered that i myself have been guilty of this, when my section mates and i criticised another school's co during their concert a few years ago. Even if people have criticised dhsco or any of its teachers, I still wished that they at least have some respect towards them. True, they may not be perfect, but they are still the people who made what I am now, and gave me the skills that I have now. Even those who criticise dhsco have people that they are grateful for and respect greatly too. How would they feel like if people start criticising those that they respect or hold dear to? Somehow, this made me more sensitive towards others, cos i've learnt how it feels like to be a victim of criticism, just like those whom i've criticised back in dhs.
Anyway, was busy watching live earth concerts for the past two days, wasn't that nice, nearly wanted to puke for rihanna's performances, cos her performances is really not up to standard, and she is starting to become more alike with beyonce. Was really impressed with madonna, crowded house and genesis' performances. And bon jovi is the best! Haha, going to download more of their music, and no doubt's too! =)
Looking forward to harry potter's new movie and the 7th book! ^^

BLOCKS IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!....YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha, it's quite hell for me, cramming all my studying within 5 days before blocks and surviving all the long nights mugging with wl sms-ing me and complaining abt how screwed we are for blocks. At least it's over for the time being, and i can go and play crazily before throwing myself back into the books.
went back to dunman yesterday, quite pathetic, seeing the number of seniors who went back, and the meeting ended surprising early. Oh well, don't have much comments abt the next comm, since i dun really know the juniors..
went for piano festival concert just a while ago, by this super duper zai ukraine pianist called valentina lisitsa. Her tone is like superb, and her control totally shows in the endings of all her slow songs. The best part is that she is so lyrical and technical at the same time, and she is totally so much better than the russian pianist that i heard during last year piano festival. But too bad her chopin encore pieces wasn't really up to standard..
anyway, looking fwd to tmr's class chalet!! Mahjong and cycling!!!!=)
