Bonds

Saturday, January 29, 2005

Learning to treasure the different bonds I share with people is the subject of this week. Sorry Science students I am not talking about covalent or intermolecular bondng. ;p Ok that sounded like some weak attempt at being funny. No self-respecting comedian would do that and I certainly wont downgrade myself to that level. Ya before I drive off again by wild thoughts in my mind. I think I really get the motivation and drive to go through my everyday life from the people around me and the of course, my own will.

It's the many little things that they do which brighten up my days. 小小的感动。大大的受用。I never really appreciated all these encouragement and kind words, probably because they were mostly unspoken of in a boy's school.

This week, I got to finally meet my choir juniors. I expected them to be really dao and cold, but turned out that they were such a nice lot to be with. Although we only had one official practice together, I feel so hopeful for the basses with these freshmen around us who will certainly inject more zest and zeal in choir. It's such a strange feeling to have so many people during combined sectionals again, after the seniors left and even stranger to be the one helping others along when encountering difficult parts and notes in the pieces, when I remembered being guided along by my senior last year as though it were yesterday. Such a wondrous passing it had been. The prospects of getting gold with honours for SYF this year seemed more promising by the day.

Some of the seniors came back to look around. Last year's Cui Changs Yun Yun and Shu Han came back with Jessica yesterday. It was great to listen to their experiences and learn from them. While I was eating with my friend, I asked him to go watch Huangcheng this year and he agreed without any hesitation. He didn't even care whether anyone in his class is going, or whether anyone is going with him. I was quite shocked when he continued to criticise the people who looked down on Huangcheng productions. It is just so unlike him to express such strong emotions over something that doesn't even concern him. I am so grateful.
