-Choir ROD 2012
I must say, it was really GOOD. Better than what we planned for our seniors last year. I really hope they will surpass our standard for SYF. Choir is unique in a way that we’re bonded together so closely like a family and we have never had internal conflicts and stuff. That is what makes us different from other aesthetic groups. We may not be the best, but we are passionate about what we do. Even though, very often, people think that choir is useless and it’s a girl’s CCA, you’re just superficial. Many misinterprets that choir is a slacking CCA. You are so wrong man. Those who aren’t from choir wouldn’t know the amount of effort required just to get an accurate tune of the song. And if one note is off-pitched, we have to redo it all over again. HK trip and SYF were the most memorable in my secondary school years in choir. After all that is being said, I just wanna say that I love you people and I’ll miss you deeply.
Sometimes you can really care too much about yourself and be oblivious to other people’s feelings. In short, self-centered. I just don’t understand, why you tend to think that you’re the only person in the world who’s tired. What about me? I leave home earlier than you and reach home much later than you do, but all you do is scream at me, telling me you’re so tired and all I could do was to swallow that bitter pill. It wasn’t as though I wasn’t least a bit tired. Well honestly, I was exhausted. I’m already doing my best to fulfill your requests. Even though I’m young, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll never get tired. You love to compare me with you when you were at my age, but hello, for goodness sake, you lived in somewhat a kampong city and so technology wasn’t your generation’s craze at that moment. Maybe some of you guys may think that my post sounds really offensive but think of it this way, do you think that you’re ever alone, yourself, in this world? It’s not only you who’s suffering. It’s every single living thing. And that I conclude, is life.
-Strawberry Ice Cream
Why do tears just fall from so easily? Why is it so uncontrollable? Why do I always crave for strawberry ice cream when I’m not in a good mood?
-Time never stands still
Alright, I can’t believe how quickly time has passed. I can’t believe that PSLE was FOUR years ago and now I’m taking my Os. It’s so inconceivable… And in no time, we’d be done with this year. As I reminisced the past, I have came to face reality that I’ve aged with time. Just think of it, we’d be done with A levels in another two years, university in another 6 years and then we’ll be out there earning a living for our rice bowls, entering the field of competitiveness and in no time, retrenchment (if there’s recession again) and lastly, retirement. It’s a little far-fetched I understand. But after having second thoughts, it isn’t that too long a wait at all. Growing old with our partner, looking at how our next generation behaves and repeat the same old ‘annoying’ sequence of parenting like how our parents treated us, so cliche. But yes, reality do shake a man’s world. For now, let us all absorb everything, be it good or bad memories, cherish and live every moment of our lives. :)
-Melancholy much.
Have you ever felt as though you’ve been suffocated? You assume that your pair of hands could hold on to the amount of work and so you kept piling them with more?
High-expectations to achieve, but you’re in this battle alone, fighting with more than a million other army troops. Barely just hanging there whilst your support in almost snapping. Carrying out instructions but bottling up your grievances and reluctance. Knowing that it’s for your own good, but still dragging your feet. Feeling as though the whole world doesn’t empathize you, so you sobbed into your palms. Soon after, your tears created a well, but still, it was as though you were standing alone on your own feet. No one was there beside you to coax you, not a single soul in sight. The world was against you but you tried to pull out all the stops. And everything just ended with only you, your soul and tears.
-Just another thought
The sun was still hiding timidly behind the moon, as usual, I was almost late for school. Whilst quickening my pace, my gaze fell on a student in front of me, taking her own sweet time to walk up the flights of stairs. It maddened me quite a bit, but it was nothing compared to those who dragged their feet, lazing around the school compound when they’re already late. Without any other obstacles ahead for the day, it was the end of the last day of the first school term, which commenced the starting of March holidays. Following the flow of what was planned ahead for me, nothing exactly went wrong till night time. Ever since young, I had an aspiration; for me to know and for you to find out. A burning passion and determination to fulfill it. However, when reality shakes your world, when dreams smash into smithereens, when your pillar of strength collapses, that marks the beginning of your tears.
