National band competition
:
For those who dont know, RJC had gotten second in the competition yesterday! Not that we werent good, just that we were just a bit noisy compared to other bands especially with sticks dropping noises and squeaks now and then. But in any case, Rwinds and Rj did well, with having only 4 practices for the competition. Despite Tengkok's extreme disgust with certain issues with the current band (haha), I guess we can still say that we are proud to be in rjcsb even up till this day. Most of us at least. Me, jac jac and shifeng were so anxious for rjcsb while sitting in the audience. haha. And you guys were playing last again! Rooting for oura and the band till the last second!!
After the much awaited results announcement and batch/juniors/seniors catching-up, we set off to marina sq from vch.. This is one of the most interesting ride of my life while travelling the short distance between two places. Idiotic songwee was trying to trick and sabo poor yeeshen most of the time. And him chionging red lights, meant that yeeshen would be left behind at the junction, and the first car must stop and start crawling on the road till the second joined the first. Toyotas rule the night. haha
So with gab and jinxun joining us later, we had 12 people (me, jac, xiaohui, cheryl, lum, songwee, jinxun, yeeshen, tengkok, shifeng, gab, kahchun) at xing wang cafe, making a lot of noises and taking up a lot of space. And eating things like australia's uncle toby and spanish biscuits..haha..on top of huge french toasts and other misc items. We ended the nite, with two cars going in separate directions. The west bound and north-east bound cars.
Trust that everyone reached home safe and sound. And thanks to our two wonderful drivers. hehe. Without which, the late nite supper wouldnt be a possible feat. =)
Gone were the times when we spent all the days of the week together, but whenever there's a time to gather, it seems that nothing between everyone has changed very much. The old days in green and white werent spent in vain. Ties remain strong and the bond as a batch still holds till now. No matter how far or how much we grow to become different individuals gradually, this sense of belonging to the batch of rjcsb 2004 will stay. haha. Correct me if i have delusions of grandeur... Take care everyone. Till a later date when we meet again..
"When you come to the end of a perfect day, and you sit alone with your thoughts. While the chimes ring out with a carol gay for the joy that the day has brought. Do you think what the end of a perfect day can mean to a tired heart? When the sun goes down with a flaming ray and the dear friends have to part? Well, this is the end of a perfect day, near the end of a journey too; But it leaves a thought that is big and strong, with a wish that is kind and true. For memory has painted this perfect day with colours that never fade. And we find, at the end of a perfect day, the soul of a friend we've made."
