So long...

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

Yup it has indeed been quite long since I blogged, considering how frequently I did so in the holidays. But with that said, the holidays seemed to have passed long time ago, even though it's barely two weeks since school reopening.

So obviously there are many stories to tell, much with the addition to the "HC family" and our merger with TCHS (I still cannot discern whether I like that more or less, but one thing's for sure: I am proud of my roots) so anyway, there was combined flag raising with the section beside HC. It was such a mixed feeling to be back standing on that same terraces singing the same school song and listening to the same commands from the parade commander. But I was not sure whether I would like that, even until now. For one thing: I am now a Hwa Chongnian and no matter what they said, that won't be the same as the "Hwa Chongnian" presently. It's not just the school name or the merger, it's the feeling and the bonding. Oh well, this "resentment" towards this change in administration would probably only last for just another year I guess, after which everything will start afresh. After all, we ARE the last HC batch and the leading batch of HCI... So well no more shall be said.

Next, we saw our junior class which was quite interesting. I thought they were look like quite a hardworking lot, the ones who will mug real hard whether there's exam or not. And I thought 04A12 was muggerish... looks like we have met our match. 青出于蓝. I finally understood what that meant, literally. From their creative banner design and all the complicated but intelligent hidden meanings, I am awed every minute. Haha I am quite sure they will definitely do better than us. After all, I heard they went library to read up and there were times I saw some of them taking out their Maths and Econs notes to read or even do Maths tutorials in advance... That makes me want to imediately give up writing this entry and burying my head within my homework. If only Ziqian was around... haha too bad he's probably enjoying life somewhere in Tekong with a clealy shaven head...

Then last friday had campfire and it really reminded me of our experience last year. Met up with the NP OPX gang. Wei Qiang joined us from SA!!! And then there's Isaac, Jun Yan and Oliver. Haha Oliver's haristyle looked soooooo funny. And Jinx called him 美女when Kang Hao introduced her to Oliver (a usual trick by Kang Hao lol) Then we wanted to bring the juniors out but not all of them wanted to go. And in the end, we settled for somewhere near school (turned out to be the 煮炒 place) but I thought it was quite good. At least got to know the guys better and promoted choir and huangcheng to them.

Angel and Mortal officially started today. I think this kind of things really make me feel one year younger back during the carefree first three months. And then persuaded Bryan and Wei Lin to join choir!! Yeah! So I am guaranteed to have at least one choir junior in 05A12. And I really think this year the junior class has got many people who's interested in choir. Huangcheng has got alot of actors and actresses this year too and just went to eat out with them today! Boy were they are a buoyant and vibrant lot. Maybe too bubbly and AA for our liking though. I think the bus trip from HC to KAP is longer than all the bus trips I had take from CHS to there for the past four years put together. They were making such a din. But then good thing that they are enthusiastic and so quick to get "high". haha. Grins. And then found out that listening to Alvin, Hailing and Hoi Fai's talk can be so enlightening and funny. Can't help laughing at times.

Then last saturday went to watch SHE's concert!!! So exciting. It was the thing that kept me moving and my mind working for the first week. Hebe was so pretty but I think I must really curb this thing before this liking turns into blind obsession. Ya but well I did say she was the kind of person I am looking for. Not really her looks but the whole feeling. Argh digressed again. Anyway, the concert was very nice and I must say it was a run for the money, and would have been better if not for the technical faults in the sound system. Stupid echoes and screeches. I have come to really regard such sound faults with distaste, especially when we choir really rely on microphones as lifelines when we perform in open, noisy areas like the Central Plaza but problem is HC microphones are really unreliable. Ok shall end of for now.
