just came back from dhsco 公演.seeing 郑老师,the 排位 etc. overwhelmed by a feeling... its still that traditional co without frills n costumes.just a quality perfomance with students donning their smart navy blue blazers that are seemingly bursting at the seams with sincerity.some things never change.
its been 2 years since i've graduated from dhs n since i didnt make it a point to go back n help 分 the jnrs, most songs were unfamiliar to me. so i was really looking forward to the alumni piece 花木兰, since its the v first song i learnt when i stepped into 大 组. vivace part of hua mu lan made me cry, not cos im so touched by the music that i actually saw mu lan standing thr in her shiny armor n helmet(though that should be the ideal effect) but cos cliche as it may sound, beautiful memories came back in torrents.
郑老师 and his indescribable unique way of conducting, 郭老师 n how i got my nickname jimmy, 上 音 with 王妈妈 3/4 of time touching my eyebrows or whacking my wrists, n always smiling 丁老师. pracs with chinyong's batch, khaiqi's and finally peijean's. the 大 组s and rusty 谱架s that kept collapsing. tiring 排位and 弦乐组 revolution, 集训 and 康乐 , whr they always order chicken rice, malaysia trip, my roomie pek,奶妈奶爸 john and pk. not forgetting syf whr 中胡 left everyone in cold sweat even up till rehearsal, and the gold with honours at the end of the day. of cos thr's 公演 with lazing ard on backstage sofa,搬乐器, 调音. 2006 齐奏赛马, was really a dynamic piece.
and many other fragments that came back to me while listening to that 保留曲.
to my 3 zhonghu jnrs felicia,ivan,and clarence, i can only say im really sorry for being MIA during 2007 syf year. initially it was the excitement of entering a jc, then SCIP and planning first-intakers party kinda kept me busy, i felt i wouldnt be able to make a difference even if i went bac to help, seeing as how i failed theory and didnt play well.then came the operation that left me afraid to face anyone except for those that i inevitably had to meet. by the time i got my brace and was back to rugby, i had so much more catching up to do with the sch work that i had forsaken as well as working towards the stamina that the rest of my teamies had.once again 2008 siyuan asked if i was interested in performing. i said yes but in the end i agreed with irene that i've long since lost touch in erhu, so i shouldnt be thr to affect the orchestra music.
but i really do miss dhsco alot,everyone of u. even the housefly.
if by a miracle, i could turn time back, i would have practised much harder for kao ji and all. i was a v disappointing music student though i often bluffed myself into thinking its just nil inclination towards music. also i would choose to have handled that relationship in a much more matured way and hopefully not hurt anyone. i wish i had told u how i always felt about u too. so many regrets n no chances to redeem myself. now that i've straightened out my thoughts compared to sec sch co days, i shouldnt let anything stop me from giving my best in doing things im passionate abt and making the right decisions.
kinda braindead from all the flooding thoughts tonight.shall end off this post.

ystd aft exams cls went katong for K-ing session.we were itching to sing but so many of us were down with cough or flu.damn.halfway thru we decided to sing some huat n random songs, hokkien ones like 陳雷 's hua he jiu ho n childhood songs like this very sad one abt a mud doll.lame lah but we desperately needed to destress. taking a short break to prep and carry ourselves thru a longer distance. look how hard she's studying! fortunately Tri can count on my Prince to give her some comfort. somewhr in the middle of our stressful mugging, we started fighting using 2 bears in my room,it started all cos of jiayi's lame face.
NUS open hse today, went for a few talks. faculty of dentistry one they said thr would be opportunities for some interaction with kids so if u enjoy working with children and some other qualities,could try this field of studies,which got me vvv interested(: though my ultimate ambition is still to be a paediatrician. but like the supplement in today's paper says, competition is just too fierce in securing a place in popular courses like medicine.if thats what ure aiming for,u got to be beyond outstanding,dabbling in every sch activity to be a perfect all-rounder.scholarly,leader,athlete,initiator of community service projects,testimonials from job internships etc. hmm wow..so everyone's striving to be godlike huh. i wonder how many applicants who chiong so hard to get straight A's and perfect portfolio are passionate about serving in the healthcare industry, other than just thinking that its meaningful to save lives n that its a highly respectable occupation in the opinion of most people.
yes so the point is thr's nothing wrong with dreaming of being the owner of a chain of 'mama stores'..? maybe someday we will all realise Jin has great foresight abt which is the most rewarding career path.
In the pursue of academics excellence,i hope i will never lose my true self and my dreams.BLAH,not that im performing exceptionally well now,like woah elite student. Seow n me decided to watch the leap years(thankfully watching movies is a much less emotionally and mentally draining activity).yea it was a romantic story that involved a long but eventually rewarding wait. aww and the 2 of us are like crybabies plus suckers for fairytale endings, so it was like her sniffling,me drying my tears =X
ooh and i think Raymond(jason chan) is omg cute. intellectual eye candy. and bet u didnt know, he acted as Cam Watanabe/Green Power Ranger

Went for NTU open hse with tri and tj ystd. alighted at wrong stop n took a looong walk. Really keen on their biomed tcm double degree, but probably need to achieve 3As to be considered. Hell, im feeling damn stressed up but at the same time its a push factor to study. toured a few places within sch of biological sciences, the 3 of us more or less share similar views on wad kinda courses are more appealing so we're working towards our goals. jiayou! haha but i dont see why tj wanna go university putra malaysia. and tri,rmb to work on ur chinese if u wanna go into tcm, how abt starting with that blog entry u promised..

There i was, major flood session crying my head off when suddenly came a loud hiccup.talk abt anti climax. me n mushroom just rolled on the floor of basketball court laughing n staring at the sky. tricia came to give me a kiss. volleyball-ed until it became too dark to differentiate yu ang's head from the ball.
it must be magic,how they carry out disaster relief faster than u can say 'red cross'. love u guys. just a little digression: its as though moms can predict future.at the end of the day ure hurt & weary,and upon reflection,they always seem to be right. moms know something the rest of us dont. cheers to pauline,irene & all the other moms i know
