Missing Home

Dear TomHa,
Yesterday, I went to watch RV's 50th anniversary cultural night which was coincidentally in NUS' UCC. Well, found the whole gig rather stale, JiaJun's solo also like no power, making me feel like he is conserving. He did not believe what I said, well, good luck to him. I had never used to appreciate dance and I don't think I did yesterday too. The all-girl item looked like some indian dance with balinese sarongs, while the all-duys one looked like a lot of coolies re-enacting what they do normally. It was not a really exciting performance to put it this way. I guess all the cultural groups tried too hard to play safe. Oh, ELDDS, like what they were in the past, put up something that I did not understand again. The whole play was pretty meaningless, I find, well, this coming from a constant E-lit failure. So, no hard feelings yeah?

Hence the only plus point of the show was meeting some good old friends and also, some good old teachers, not much on the teachers side though. I had not seen Chee Harn and Wee Seng since J2 and meeting them in the concert hall was just such a jovial occassion. Meeting Fiona (Jono GF) was good too, given that I kop some of her subway cookies from such a short impromptu meeting. Hope to see them more in the future. Ailin saw Huimin and brought her up, and boy, girls change a lot, especially RV girls after leaving the suppressive 'only short hair' school rule behind. Seriously, if I were to see her in the street, I couldn't possibly have recognised her. A lot other girls are the same. Gosh. I guess the only good thing or maybe a bad thing is that I remained the same, not much change, only that my hair is no longer bowl shape with a slit in the fringe as Yewei fondly describes it. Ha. Those were the days.

Time flies. I was in sec 4 when the school celebrated their 45th anniversary. And now, I joined them in their celebrations as an audience. Funnily enough, there were no Birthday Cakes. The launch was even more funny, with Tharman beating those chinese drums for so long, I doubt even Ms Ek knew when he should stop. Ha. Getting old. Just awaiting for CNY to drop by for a visit at the moment. Need a break. And it is only the first week of school and no tutorials yet.
