emoemo
sighs everybody's like saying it the end of our co journey, yes true la, but somehow got the feeling that everything, everything that we hold to this co so dearly is ending. which i seriously hope isn't. i mean there'll still be outings and stuff right? people say jc is supposed the best days of your life and i think yea hcco made it so. (my class is sadness, but i can't put it so for some ppl who have indeed a wonderful class and thank God that you do (: )so i'll thank God for sending you peeps to me (: the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. and i don't want it to end even if our performance together as a co has ended. sobbbbb. ):
so in addition to those lil messages i've written for you all, i have MORE messages! haha
to junzhi:
okay no more sl! haha and i won't ignore that comment that you've made! haha it's a compliment leh cannot ignore! and yeah we're HCCOXYZ!!
to jiawei:
thank you (:
to ruihong:
excuse me but it's countdown you spent at my house,not christmas hahaha. and don't worry ruihong, even if i wanted to forget you it'll be hard hahaha. u're like at my class bench area! and yeah you too made an impact on my life (: thanks
to hongfei:
yes i've never ponned a single prac! hahaha okay maybe like 1/2 a prac, that one after blocks2 physics paper 3 hahaha. shopping wins praccing!
to wenqi:
yays wedding!!! can i be the bridesmaid??
and your message makes me feel like crying. like we're actually leaving each other for good and never meeting up ever again! sobbb. i'll <3>

to siheng:
see you darling too hahaha <33
to sutyee:
yes mom!! i'll be less emo! maybe not in this post but YES I'LL BE LESS EMO! (hopefully) haha and you make going out with us sound like a chore!! please don't! cuz i'll continue bugging you if we ever have like gatherings and i'm sure by then u'll still join us, even if there's no more obligations (:
to kaiying:
yummy seafood platter. we'll go for more! i miss liting haha
to kaili:
i was like confused bout the taxi driver. but i think i know what u're talking bout. hahaha.
to yuhao:
(((((: remaining cheery (:
to mao:
last but not the least! haha yes hua ji the starting but NOT nan guo the ending! cuz like i've said, performing as hcco ended, but not our friendship what. haha so u better not forget me this time cuz i'll murder you if you do!! haha and yes i believe compliments hahaha
to juniors:
i hope you guys love the presents we made (:
though might not be the best art work in the world, it contains our heart and strength and uhuh no sweat since we did in mph but hm yeah you get the idea. and please put the picture tgt more often. like oh my put it up in mph! rocks! hahaha
the boxes may be small but it's filled with L-O-V-E!
so love it kay!! cuz i'm lovin' the presents you gave me loads!
we may not miss hcco, like when we no longer know the ppl in hcco a few years from now on, but i'll definitely miss my favourtiest peeps in this hcco in the year 06 and 07. and that's you guys (:
so a few years from here, like wenqi said, when we no longer know the hcco that we used to, things will never be the same. qinggongyan was prolly the last time we'll be so 'zi zai' in each other's presence, with no gu1 ji4 at all. just be yourself. a few years later, it won't be the same, we might feel strange in each other's presence for a while, but i'm sure we'll find the same old, familiar gan jue back soon enough within that same gathering. need some warming up before that eh? and when the warming's up done, we'll enjoy each other's presence as much as we have tonight.
lovin' you guys forever more (:

they say it isn't over until the fat lady sings.
we don't really have a fat lady, but these two days i've been hearing mao sing the gatsby song a lot - i think that's the closest we've got to a flashing neon sign going "MOVE OVER, YOUR TIME IS UP".
and it is.
j2s - we came, we saw, we conquered. but now what? we've done all we can for HCCO. they don't need us anymore. it's time to let go... our CO doesn't need more supervisors or directors or whatever new titles they can think up.
it's hard to relax your grip on something that's so close to your heart. leaving HCCO is like saying goodbye to your parents at your first day at school - except they'll never come back and bring you home. it's like packing your bags and walking out of your home because you don't have money to pay the rent. but sometimes you just have to try to ignore the pain and unclench your fists, before someone else pries your fingers off them.
there are great things in life. there are greater things in life. there are things in life you just have to experience to understand - co is one of them.
but so are many other things.
it's always better to read about what fun we've had and all the things we've done; to reminisce and think about the past instead of the future. it's sad and cruel to blog about moving on instead of holding on to memories. are they mutually exclusive? i don't know.
there are things in life we'll do and compare to HCCO. there are people in life we'll meet and compare to our batchmates. there are times when we'll think, damn, why couldn't i still be in CO?
we've spent 1.5 years waiting for every single prac to end.
now we'll be spending days, weeks, months, wishing they hadn't.
but as much as i don't want to leave, as much as i'm scared that one day HCCO will mean virtually nothing to me, i don't want to be the one left behind.
we're all leaving - we're leaving together. we're one batch, one xyz. a group.
we came - together.
we saw - together.
we conquered - together.
and now we'll be leaving - together. we leave not because we want to, but because we can.
we've given all we can to HCCO. we've done our best and we've done a lot of things we may not be proud of, but we've done ourselves proud.
right now, today, this is who we are.
we've come a long way, and we've still got a long way to go. maybe we won't see each other every day. maybe we won't see each other every week. but every step of the way, there will be people behind us. people who care. people who appreciate us for who we were, who we are, and who we will be. with or without the practices, with or without the late night present piaing, and with or without seeing each other as much as we've gotten used to.
ningfei was right - the sun has risen, the next day has come, our HCCO story is complete.
but another book has just begun.

Jia you!
Gosh! It's just 2 more days to the big day! Though I already left school, but I still feel pretty anxious, like the same way I feel 2 years back! I guess it's quite a mixture of feelings for you guys out there. Everything will seem like a dream after Thursday, and all of which seem like never happened before. The hardwork you put in; the frustration that things just don't sound right; the joy when things starts to fall in place, the fun with all your comrades; the heartwarming feeling when you can feel yourself playing together as an orchestra, working as an orchestra, improving as an orchestra. Probably after this is something that you can't get anywhere else, and you can only be reminded of this feeling through your memory, the common memory you share with the other 80 people up there.
Dear juniors, it's only 2 more days, I urge you to make this chapter a really memorable one. Enjoy the 15 minutes up on stage, enjoy the music you are playing, recall the efforts and sweat you have put in the past few weeks and months, the friendship you have forged. Play from your heart, touch the heart of the audience, tell them the story of the bell, let them see the beautiful scene of spring.
It's really fortunate that I can mo4 mo4 de3 stand at one side, seeing you guys making improvement after improvement and working hard towards your common aim. It's really heartening to see that, especially how bonded you guys have become over the past few months. =)
On 10th May, You definitely will live up the expectations you have set, create a new legend, not for anyone else, but for yourself.
The legend will be yours, Da Di will be yours!
Jia you! *takes out pompom*
Pardon my English and my incoherence. =/
and see ya guys on May 10th!
Loving you guys loads!

hello it's me again (: [kaili says hi, btw]
i'm scared and i'm nervous and i'm excited!!!
mostly scared.
the thing abt it now is that we've all been in really good COs since forever. ny, chs, rv, st nicks, uh i think that's all right? haha. we're all good. i think we are awesome and i think all our sec schools are awesome too.
but then when you're good who do you want to compare yourself against? the schools without 7ji/9ji/dip? the schools with a weak background and a lot of drive?
all of us want to be perfect. we're comparing ourselves against the professionals; with our individual standards it's hard not to.
when can we tell ourselves we're GWH standard?
what IS GWH standard?
given where we are now can you go to SCH and get a GWH and come back happy?
in sec2 we thought we were good and we got silver. and we bitched all the way back on the bus and for the next few months and for the next year.
then in sec4 we realised, in sec2 we were actually pretty shitty.
GWH is a competition against ourselves -
how far do you think we can go?
how far do you want to go?
how far do you have to go before you can come back satisfied?
last week i would have disagreed with shouhao. how can we fight against ourselves if we can't even fight against other schools? but now i'm beginning to think maybe we can. (:
well now we're good, but we're not THAT good. yin zhun and correct gong fa/zhi fa can only take you so far. when we're good enough the flowers will bloom for our da di. when we're good enough the bell in bell song will be visible to you even as you play. when we're good enough everyone will be a part of the song, not playing it. nyco - you know this from feng nian ji. make it come true again.
somewhere out there, our music is waiting to find us...
reach out for it and it will come. <3

last week i would have disagreed with shouhao. how can we fight against ourselves if we can't even fight against other schools? but now i'm beginning to think maybe we can. (:
well now we're good, but we're not THAT good. yin zhun and correct gong fa/zhi fa can only take you so far. when we're good enough the flowers will bloom for our da di. when we're good enough the bell in bell song will be visible to you even as you play. when we're good enough everyone will be a part of the song, not playing it. nyco - you know this from feng nian ji. make it come true again.
somewhere out there, our music is waiting to find us...
reach out for it and it will come. <3

fireworks
This post is dedicated to the j1&2s of 2007 - from someone who left long ago.
Look at the picture.
Ask yourself, if you are something in that photo, what are you?
A firework has to go through a long period of preparation, moulding and perfecting its insides, just for that eventual few seconds of impact, that bright shower that lights up the night.
I guess this is quite an appropriate metaphor for you all - a firework. Imagine yourself as one of the little particles that make up the firework.
Now all of you are on the journey up through the dark sky. You might not know where you will reach and end, you just know that you will "explode" in a shower of brightness "somewhere out there". You might have thought that the long period of preparation is unbearable, however seek comfort in knowing that it will end as a perfect work of art, a burst of light that lights up the night sky.
I have confidence in you to be the firework on 100507 that flies the highest, explodes to be the brightest work of art, and provides the best memories to the people who are there to experience it.
Jiayou!

just wanna say 7 days left.
think the most important thing now is to try to enjoy the music.
sway bounce whatever to the music. who says you can't do all those spastic moves while paying 100% attention to the conductor.
process > results. how cliche.
GWH and showcase! but if we're killing ourselves trying to reach that, spoiling our last few weeks of co prac, then a bit no point.
i wanna enjoy the last few pracs before syf because i know i'll miss all these meng drillings after syf.
and note: meng drill while enjoying it can come together. for all i know, i enjoyed the mad pracs we had in ny before our syf 2 years ago. why not now..
seven days only.
enjoy and appreciate and cherish them.
