What a day. It was like the 7th month on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, i was like the 'getai' singer, as if clad in glittery clothes rushing from one place to another trying to catch the shows at different 'getai'. haha! I had two birthday celebrations on the same day, and i just hoped i could do a split into 2. One is my beloved JC classmate taking her final step into aldulthood, and one is my beloved junior from PJCSB.
Ok, so i thought that Amelia's would have my priority since it's her BIG TWENTY ONE. Haha! Had Fig and Olives at Vivo and the usual birthday cake cutting at the sky garden. We had a brief moment of Sparkling fun, literally, before the security guard came over and told us that we're not supposed to play sparkles there at the sky garden as it may trigger off the smoke detectors along the covered walkways... Yea, and tt was when Amelia went HAFF and PUFF at the sparkle she was holding, but it was kinda useless, the sparkle just had to burn itself out in e end. Lol.
Went down to Huda's rather belated birthday celebration at Manhattan Fish market - Plaza Singapura. The crazy bunch of people, it was camwhoring all night long. haha! And the usual birthday balloons as well as embarassing ourselves with attempts to do some jump shots with the camera. LOl.
NIE concert tomorrow! haha. excitement =]

Went for Pioneer Junior College's 8th College day today. Celebrating a Decade, Pioneering the Next was the theme for this year's event as PJC stepped into it's 10th year in the Education enterprise.
A decade, time flies. I sat in the seats of the Alumni, and hoped i could start my journey all over again. The memories that i had in PJC was just so wonderful, it's almost like a movie that i wouldn't mind watching over and over again. Watching the new batch of CCA leaders walked on stage to recieve their awards reminded me of my time when i was standing right at the same spot as they were, and that was 2 years ago.
Watching the top scorers striding up with pride to recieve an award that recognises their academic achievements just made me feel kinda 'sucky', that i just didn't worked hard enough for it the previous time round. It's somewhat inspirational as well, and i am relieved to know that, at least for me, education has not ended. It's was like a form of motivation, a push, an urge, a nudge, a sudden gush of excitement, telling me that i've still got my final chance in the University to showcase myself, i need to work hard for wad i've lost all these years. Though i know, getting into a JC, clearing the A Levels, and being offered a place in the University, these are already great achievements that i've made. I wanna go further, higher, and greater. I hope i will be able to keep that burning.
I wanna give it a blast this time round.

Stumbled upon your facebook today. I'm just really glad that you're doing well. Full of smiles, and it really brought back those beautiful memories that i've kept deep in my heart all these while.
Somehow, i just think that everything could have ended in a much better way.
I still think i owe u an apology. Everything was too sudden.
I'm sorry. =]

Sometimes we really wonder why. We become unsure of our purpose, our goal, and the very reason why we started out in the first place. We ask ourselves if that ever burning passion is enough, and soon come to realise that it really doesn't matter, perhaps to some people. With great passion, comes great achievements, cliche as it may seems, there are people out there who still believes in it. Passion, a powerful word it is, is a source of motivation, a force that pushes, but when we start to get the clearer picture, we realised that Passion can sometimes means an obsession, a mindless hunt, a crazy race. We put ourselves into that maze, and find ourselves somehow trapped in that maze. You know that you are getting no where no matter how hard you try, no matter how huge that ball of passion is burning. You get tired of it, and starts asking yourself if that is worth it. I tried asking myself that, but derived at no answer.
So what exactly is the point of having that passion when you know that it's never gonna work out....

Yup, and that was the outcome. We rounded up the months of hardwork and practices with a silver medal for the Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging 2009. Was it justified? I would say no, nothing would ever justify the hardwork, time, effort and faith that each and everyone had put in. Perhaps that is music. We play for the passion, and i believe there can never be a 'perfect' set of judging criteria ever.I've always been on stage, and yesterday i was there again, but in the seats of the audiences. The feeling that i got though, was not much of a difference. My heart was with the band, so were the other alumni's. The atmosphere was tensed, especially since we were place after Temasek, Anglo Chinese, and Raffles. They were giants before us, but i was glad that Pioneer came on stage so confidently, except for that chair that toppled. We held our breath from the moment they played their first note, till that final crsecendo before Ms Chan cuts it off. It was a job well done, we thought, but fingers were kept crossed for the result. We knew we were nothing compared to those before us, but were happy that we put up the best performance of all the rehearsals.
The moment of truth came, being the last band in the order was torturous, we heard bands before us screamed and cheered, some were quiet and eyes turned red. When Temasek was announced a silver, silence filled the hall. Unexpected. The claps came in after awhile. Band no. 11, Pioneer Junior College - Silver. There were no cheers, just plain clapping. We knew that was gonna be the outcome, but somehow, each and everyone of us hoped for that miracle, rather badly, and it just didnt happened. We left the hall, no words were spoken. We shared a mixed feeling, not sure if we were to be happy or sad. All we knew was, it's over, at last.
Great job to PJCSB, at the very least, we know that we've give our best, and we hold no sense of guilt. PJCSB - We are, and will always be, more then just what a medal says about us. We are, and will always be, not be defined by the colour of a medal. We are PJCSB! =]
