Geee when i was looking at the other 75er's blog , i just realized that i have forgotten to blog about MAF 08 at HC. :D oh my its such an important event, how can i ever forget.
well well, Its a very special day where ex-HC students meet up and relive their memories once again by celebrating Mid Autumn Festival... sounds pretty old-fashioned yea?, lol. I guess those who have enjoyed your stay in HC would understand how much I do actually feel for the school. It was seriously a night of unexplainable warmth to see the ever familiar smiles of friends that I really really freaking miss during my times in army.
I could still recall that the HC days were the days that i could really feel so comfortable being my true self. You don't have to be constantly cautious of people around you, and you dun have to be an ass just to protect yourself from being exploited or stepped on. And in every corner of the school, there will always be someone who will wave and smile at you even if they do not know you too well.
Well HC isn't nice because angels from different secondary schools just HAPPENED to congregate there. Instead, I believe that the environment or the general behaviour of those around you does play a huge role in bringing out certain traits of a person. Eventually, it is inevitable that some temporal and permanent changes will occur. Yes it can be good or bad, but fortunately you have one thing in control that can make a world of difference, -> your perspective.
Perhaps if we compare ourselves with students from the other schools such as RJ, we are generally less prepared to step into the next phase of life(uni/work), partly because our environment is just far too comfortable, and to a certain extent, perhaps even too ideal. It is certainly not an accurate representation of what the outside world will be like and we tend to have a harder time trying to adept to the harsh realities of life isn't it?
I remembered that I was seriously considering my options of transferring to RJC via Track, after 4 longggg yrs of sec school life in HC. I thought it was a pretty good idea initially, since you'll get to enjoy the best of both worlds if you are thrown into 2 totally different environments. Oh well, i chose not to in the end, for there was something deep down my heart that told to stay, even though my dad pretty much wanted me to hop over too... I think one of the greatest reason was track, although i was a transient member ever since the torrent of injuries came, I could never forget how meaningful and fulfilling my days in sec1&2 were when I fought so damn hard for the title.
I really missed the days back then. Being in HC Track and HCJC was seriously one of the most magical moments in my life so far. Though it was certainly not a smooth-sailing one, i am glad that I have grown and learnt so much over the years. I was never able to open up to those around me before JC, and although time spent crapping and bullshiting was awfully fun, that wasn't just it. There were also times when we really sat down, had heart-to-heart talks and shared our true thoughts and feelings with one another.
damn i really miss hc !
