a tribute to one of my favourite people
A snobbish senior was my first impresion of her. Meeting her on the bus were just an exchange of smiles and nothing much. The year we had our SYF changed things. As we spent more time with each other during the practices, we grew closer. It was that particular day, on 15 April 05, we skipped band and we named that day our ' happiest day'. Corny as it may sound, we did have so much on that day that memories of that still makes us laugh and cherish each other more.
We motivated one another to work hard to achieve at least a silver for the SYF. But to our dismay, we only got bronze and most of us cried.
When they heard i was hospitalised, she initiaited the rest to visit me in the hospital. They were great poeple, visiting me and telling me to get well soon. And of course, we also had fun in the hospital playing with the hospital bed and filming her 'giving birth'.
After every band practice, we would have our 'foodtrip' which is stop over to tiong for a while to grab s cup of sweet talk or old chang kee. till now we're still doing it and our juniors are following suit.
In the year 2006 was when we grew closer, esp after that day we shared our secrets. We began to have more and more foodtrips. During our foodtrips, we met the black teeth old lady, we were there when the big big umbrella at bengawan solo fell, we accidentally jaywalked and embarassed ourselves, we dared each other to laugh loudly on a double decker bus. And many other crazy foodtrip outings.
We were already feeling sad that the sec fours will be stepping down on April, but instead, there were news that the sec fours will be offically stepping down on 18 aug so that they'll be able to play for the school's 50th anniversary.
We were so delighted, we decided to make a our own section's shirt and that we'll feel proud to wear it during the band camp. Band camp was just so memorable, we had so much especially on the last night. Zheng yi joined us in staying up all night and taking crazy pitctures and acting videos. He was also like our lao da, accompanying us everywhere we went that night, including the toilet. And oh, we also wanted to play captain's ball in the parade square at 4am in the morning, but alas, the ball was with one of the comittee members and we couldnt have it.
Coincidentally, many of us had stomach aches that night and to our dismay, we ran out of tissue paper! So, in the wee hours of the morning, we did our business in the teacher's toilet using their tissue. We never ran ouf toilet paper again that night.
During our practices for the 5oth anniversary dinner, we were like cherishing our last few practices together with them. We were dreading for the day they offcially step down. On one of the fridays, we had so much fun playing captain's ball with the other band members. And oh, we made arthur and habib popular. Thanks to sherlin's love for them. Haha! but habib suck and arthur is more sporty, he didn't get angry at all despite all the teasing. Then on our last full
dress rehearsal at the neptune, thanks to her, we took a lot of photos. On that day, we try do everything we had plan. To have everything in order before we go for the dinner and to take as much photos as we can.
When we were behind the curtain, before our perfomance, some of us cried. it was our last performance together as a whole band, and with our present sec fours.
i would just like to say that i wont have anyone like you, who leads the clarinetists, who brings so much laughter and fun esp during band practices, someone like you who makes my bill explode like how i make yours too. someone like you whom i could take 24/7 via phone, sms, and online. someone like you, who's a rocking great friend.
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KAIYING!
