30th Huang Cheng Ye Yun was last last Saturday and I went back to watch after missing it last year due to exchange in China. The shows were meaningful in the ideas it is trying to portray across to the audience but the actors and actress were not really able to bring it out through their acting. Cannot blame them as they are afterall still just teenagers who doesnt have much experience in acting before. There was this really cute little kid! Reminded me of the last time when I brought my brother in to act as a carrefare, all the good old times. It always feels good to go back to something where you know you will definitely see familiar faces of people whom you have not been able to meetup for a long time. Even though the amount of unfamiliar faces become more and more, the huang cheng spirit and the whole thing which I went through before never fails to make me feel at ease with myself.
The following week was tiring yet satisfying, due to FASS ID collection booth. Was expecting the lack of manpower, no one to blame as it is indeed the season of deadlines and exam preparations. But did not expect myself to be so shagged out and hoping the end of booth duty only after Monday, bleah. Thankfully made through the 5 days in one piece in the end! It is tiring to wake up early and help set up, stay there giving people their shirts and directing them to clubroom for purchase, after everything still have to pack up both the booth along walkway and shirts at clubroom counter nicely inside the lounge. But nevertheless satisfying when I see people wearing the shirts in school, when I hear feedback that the shirt maybe simple but looks nice, when I feel for myself that the quality of the shirt is much better than all my previous shirts. Just hope I am able to achieve what I set for myself in this project after the long holidays ahead!
Anderson 40th Speech Day was last Friday and I went back once again to see both my teachers and students. Was asked by both my teacher and student to go back and visit, and I did not regret a single moment when I was back. Even though I had to cab down due to booth duty packup and the cab driver drove me to wrong place making me all jittery and worried about missing the prize-giving ceremony. But reached back in time to see them on stage, feel super proud to have them as my students before. LOL. Managed to catch up with so many of my students and teachers, and it sure hell feels damn good. (pardon the vulgar-ness) I love going back to places where I feel like apart of the family, where I can feel like there are still things that stay constant despite the changing world, where I can feel at ease even when I may not stay in touch as much, where I can still be remembered and appreciated for all that I have done.
May Day D.N.A concert was last Saturday and I did not regret a single cent spent in getting the ticket even if it means working even more. The whole atmosphere was simply catchy, high, influencing. Even though there were times when I hope I bought more expensive tickets so that I can be among all the really super high people and jump, scream, sing non-stop. :p But it was nevertheless an experience of a lifetime. Jialat, I think I may just be going to every single one of May Day's concert in Singapore from now on liao. Bleah. Not just were the songs nice, the lyrics and the meaning behind their songs are wonderful. It is those type that you can hear and listen to the words being sung, then have your ruffled, frustrated, irritated and desperated souls soothed. Ok, I may be exaggerating but they do have those effects on me mah. ;)
Nice times for the past 2 weeks, upcoming 2 weeks will be tough times but they will pass before I know it! Then I will move on to the next stage of my life where I shall work, work and work as much as I can! muahahahaha.
