XYZ BBQ @Costa Sands
strong>Wow, I went to the XYZ Chalet last night. Never expected to leave there in the wee hours of the morning really..
Besides myself, Gui, shuhui and jelly came along too. Felt old, cos of the kids' presence, but hey, wenjing and other seniors were there too, which means oh yes i'm still young! From the moment i joined DHS, i never imagined that one fine day, i'd earn the honour of being able to tell my juniors, 'hey u kids think u know everything in this world. Hey i've been watching DHSCO performances for 6 years!' Gosh SIX long years.....=P
In 1997 , a choice was made to enrol in DHS. In 1998, a decision was reached to accept the posting to CO and neither choir nor scouts, and learn to play erhu, though i chose suona. In 1999, i was assigned to play zhonghu, for reasons still not clearly known. Year 2000, I made my first and only, thus far, overseas trip, to China; subsequently chosen to be the Secretary; even participated in National Music Competition under Ensemble category, and made it past the first round i think. Champions of SYF (Orchestra), but sadly only silver for ensemble.
Almost all of my time then was devoted to CO. Indeed, CO has benefitted me, yet it has also failed me at times. It was unrealistic to expect only good things from CO. If only i knew better, and had my life balanced out properly.
Till this day, all these happenings in DHS still have a profound influence on my ABCs in life. The way i behave, tutored by Huiling, influenced partly by Peiru; values imparted by TTK and Quek, Mdm Kong, Miss ChanBB and Mr Teo, and lessons learnt on my own. Needless to say, friends i've made during those times. Whether or not joining CO or even DHS in the first place remains to be seen, up till today. But it's not really important to know the answer.
Yet some are always eager to find out about others. The 4 of us at the chalet went for a stroll by the beach, under the moonlight and backed by chilly wind. Truth or truth was the game we played. Questions asked were mainly about our love life, which was something we apparently don't talk about together. "Who is your latest crush?" "Do you think you will EVER like RL?" All sorts of funny questions. Personally, i don't like to touch on the topic of crushes, at least not in a group. Yes, sometimes during one-on-one heart-to-heart talks, but not even in a small group. I felt that honesty regarding these issues should only be rightfully reserved to your future spouse. Will i ever like XXX? Who knows?
