Jan, maybe u're right about the long long arguments we had... we only leave our legacy behind when we walk out of people's lives... tho I'm still not a 100% certain what I want others to think of me when I exit their stage... True, I think I would most definitely want someone to talk to when I'm old, someone who shares my passion, my aspirations and my dreams (wo see the world and eat good food btw :D), but at the same time we never know if we can find that one person or not... and true sometimes even if we make mistakes it's ok because we learn... but some things are probably too painful to recover from once the can of worms is opened...
I would still keep my future as bright and cheery as Joe's... although I fear that all the evils of the world and the power of money I have seen has desensitised me of most love, of most feelings and of most emotions I once probably had... Many a times I feel like I am really just acting on stage, pleasing my friends, pleasing my family, pleasing and meeting expectations and yet, have I pleased myself? I can't find this answer in the textbook...
Anyway back to my HC journey... I guess it was a very tumultous one... All the way from my first day where I wandered around the (then to me) large campus looking for something to identify myself with cuz I only had like so few friends then... to the second day when I guess I made my first (non-css, non-qifa) friend, Chun Kit form S64, cuz he was the only anderson sec 2nd intaker I guess, and my unique uniform sort of told him that I was the only one from my kind in LT4 so we became friends this way...
...to my fourth day when I was posted to S65 and tried desperately to make friends (esp with the 2nd intakers, one of whom was named Terence too... Terence Ong and also another CatHigh guy, Jie Ren) but of course looking at what they have become now I probably wouldn't have stuck out as a gang wiht them either... then being devastated when I was "nicely asked" to transfer to S63 where one of the 1st ppl I saw was Ivan (and CCY was telling me how Ivan would beat ppl up if they irritate him too much... but he turned out to be one of the nicer people I have met in HC), and was also introduced to all the pai4s (cliques) in 63... so interesting that the OC (acty chee yang who was anti-CHS like me haha) were trying to "recruit members" and I was their temp??
Was also then introduced to the "albert" story, and was initially a little anti-albert but now it appears he is best buddy and pal in 63... probably someone I would call up to ask how he's doing when we're all going on 30... Also remember when I first came I was a little sian-diaoed and maybe a little afraid to see so many CHS guys (who in my impression were super-fit and very act guys... and my impression has not changed much btw haha) cuz I couldn't do a single pull-up!! Haha... Very very relieved that most 63 guys couldn;t do it then too... (I guess I din show it much then but I was so afraid to be the odd duckling out leh haha) and look today, we all stuck out and trained our way from nil to like 9? 12? (for some over-enthu ones)
Then I came in thinking of how my sec sch has put me in a disposition to do well... and one of the aims I came into HC with is to get into a mugger class where we could all spur each other on in grades (honest... tho I guess 63 does provide some competition in this aspect too... if u noe what I mean...) but I was a little "shocked" after BT1... not only with the class' grades but also the actions and behaviours of some ppl... (yin ngai should noe... haha) And another interesting experience would probably be the cheap-thrill-ness of the class... always blowing up storms in set tea cups... I mean any single wrong move could get you into a lot of "trouble" for the next few months? Haha... I would definitely leave HC with some of such "fond" memories...
Also another life-changing experience for me would be in my CCA... met all the rich and wealthy and THE powerful of HC in the humanities classes... I culd say I learnt a lot about the "lifestyles of the rich and the famous" if it be apt to use, and also I have tapped into their vast knowledge of economics and US unis... Although I hate to admit it, I still have to... that I learnt a lot from the humanz ppl no matter how much I show or don't show I "hate" them... I formed a few friendships that I too would take with me away from HC fondly... Had so much fun in LD too...doing Dramafeste and Production... eating pizza at the canteen in like 15 mins only with Sheryl, Hui Xin, Johnny, and the two emcees... having so much fun discussing "Traumafeste" with Chris and Estelle... And also times with the tall tall cheng wei and pet and short short (oops) Jane... Tho sometimes u all always suan me but I guess that coming from science makes me unique in that desert too eh? Haha... And also thank you, guys, for giving me the confidence to speak english confidently around u "ang-moh" people... I guess u have "trained" me much in a way, just like I have "trained" your chinese I hope... And to think that my first LD meeting (painting of a banner) I hardly spoke a word cuz I do not know u guys... until production where I started to talk to others and people started to talk to me
Things have changed so much for me during these 1.75 years in HC... and I guess I am very glad that I have lived through such an experience... And I am not going to childishly say my heart is still with NJ after these 1.75 years here because I now truly realise and embrace the fact that my JC life is here in HC and I did have a roaring good time! I thank all of you guys who have made this experience fun and memorable for me... and I do hope that if I have, unintentionally or otherwise, left unmemorable footsteps in anyone's lives, that you all would forgive my immature? childish? ways and may everyone have a bright and well-lit future ahead!
And IF I ever make it into politics please vote for me k?? LOL
