Yeah.. So happy!!!!
Now to the sad part.... Band farewell....
It began at about 3.30pm... When all settled down in the air-conditioned, blue carpeted, messy band room. Khai Boon the Drum Major 2004 went up and invited the sec fours up on the podium to speak their minds... The feeling of separation is stirring up a little... Eyes a lil teary... Avoid glares from Sean and Kun Won... Erpz... Ok... Then it was the section giving out presents... Harmonicas for my sec 4 eupho seniors bought by our SL....
Then it was the time for tea reception... Sean and I gave our presents to Mong and Isaac.... Mong took out the card and read... He was half-laughing and teary... "Don't cry cos' I don't want to cry" he said... The scene was indeed comical yet tears came into my eyes again.... Wiped off with hankerchief...Then Isaac opened his present, saw the card said "aiyo, so wordy... read later..." and look at the present - 2 Tags symbolising his cute and evil personalities and a wooden stand saying "frens4eva - always be at ur side when you need it."... He was rather touched at our friendship and we hugged him like a big brother.... Back to Mong again, when he took out his present - a cup with the sign of Taurus, his zodiac sign as I remembered correctly, and he had tears in his eyes with a sincere "thank you so much"... Omg, I was like so very sad and touched and was so speechless and everything went blank as we looked at each other... It was a mutual feeling... I mean, Sean, me, Mong and Isaac, the friendship bonding is always there, isn't it? Goin to miss their jokes and company... "absence make the hear grows fonder"....
Then Haoquan suddenly popped out and talked to me for a while, then for some reason, I suddenly just burst into tears... I was at first teary than the tears flood out... The senior-junior relationship is so strong between us that I will neva forget him ever in my life... He was like consoling me with words like "Go outside and eat larh.." and "don't cry anymore larh.. I will be coming back to band frequently next time" which made me cried even more... Ok, so i am too emotional like Ms Sharma's departure oso... I cried a lot after the singing of the song "Wind beneath my wings.." - "Did you ever noe that you r my hero? And everything I wish I could be?" I mean, I related this song to her and then i cried during the Teachers' Day rehearsal and celebration itself... She is still a jovial teacher in my mind and I am still missing her...
After settling down, I drank some fruit punch. Then some friends consoled me some more at the sight of my red eyes. Ok, then I went to the toilet to wash my face... Went back to band room.. Daniel arrived from his biology competition...
Then he went to the podium to speak his two cents worth and passed the maize, symbol of DM power to Khai Boon and the bonding started.... In case you have been trapped in the caves of Uganda for ur whole life or at a place where there is no tradition of CHS that can be spread about, bonding is a tradition whereby pple gather in groups to strip off one person's clothes and pants just revealing his undies... In this case, the bonded person had to suffer more - Daniel. As a DM, he was of course stripped off till his undies and had to suffer drawings of a blue permanent marker on his body... Haha... I mean everyone was so damn interested abt looking lorh.. Erpz.. This tradition must stop! Then Kar Wai was the next victim with the marker drawings...
NOTE: BONDING IS A VERY DANGEROUS 'SPORT'. IN TODAY'S CASE, DANIEL GOT A CUT AND WAS BLEEDING ON HIS LEFT FOREHEAD.. "sayang" ALFRED WAS HURT WITH A BUM ON HIS HEAD FOR BEING NEAR THE BONDING CORNER... BOTH KAR WAI AND DANIEL HAD THEIR ZIPS OF PANTS PULLED OFF... (Luckily they had extra pants for returning home..)THEREFORE, IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO BOND PEOPLE...
Then the band was dismissed, when we gave our presents to Alfred, daniel and HQ. Just when I gave Hao Quan my present, I cried again... (ALL UR FAULT!!) Tears poured again and I was like so touched by HQ's words on Tuesday's sectionals... Read the previous entries... Then I was like so sad.. AFter hugging him, and Kun won hugging him, I was like still so sad... Then everyone was like "Ey, Khee Xuan's crying arh?" and all came to console me and stuff... Erpz... Tts why I HATE crying in front of pple but I cannot control it lor... It was just too emotional... All events during the band camp and stuff.. Ok... Settled down some more... See Mong, Isaac, Sean and Jiawei playing bridge... Then I joined them and see-see...
Erpz... Can I just stop crying? Mong asked me not to cry when I was teary and I asked him not to talk anymore. Mong's consolation just made me cry more and more.... I think I am over-emotional liaoz... But I realli enjoyed the times we had during the band camp. He rocks in the amazing race at East coast park... Very farni as well... Then Daniel and Alfred began giving out presents...
Sean, Harrapan and Rujun all got a small piggy bank with a note from Daniel and Alfred.. It was rather tribal, whereby the pple hafta kneel down in front of the 2 goody seniors to 'claim' their gifts... I was rather taken aback when Alfred called my name to receive their gift. I was like not from their section and didnt believe Sean when he told me tt Alfred was givin me sth at first... I went to them, kneeled down and...

.
. looked into their eyes, the sincere and teary ones from Alfred and the nice and charming ones of Daniel's. Then my vision blurred. Shit. More tears again... I cried when the thoughts of parting with my fave bro Daniel and Alfred surfaced.... Erm... They gave me a dolphin glass bottle with shreds of paper decoration and a note from them inside it... I was drowning myself with my remaining tears depositied in my eyes since my lazt cry last yr.... Then Daniel put my bottle aside and F5-ed me for 20 odd rounds and asked me if I Felt better... Dizzy but at least i am not choking with my tears anymore...Then everyone sat in one circle and toked more... Very emotional and solemn...
Daniel and Alfred then opened their gifts and Alfred's was a bear and he was rather happy with our card for him... Daniel oso had a cup with a smiley face and used it immediately after one wash.... He, me and Sean shared the 'holy water' in the cup and drank it all... Cheers to our brotherhood!!! Daniel isn't that emotional and he was happy no doubt, "I never let myself cry one." and parting with him is indeed my saddest moments in my CHS life... He described me as his GREATEST junior and younger bro, very touched by his message.... Will keep these presents always... Thks so much...
Then me and Sean went home, with the last glance at the seniors before going home... Very sad but as pple said, "departure is inevitable in this world" so erm, mebbe I have to learn how to accept it and cry lesser than ever...
Signing off,
