alhena is love!
yesterday was such a eventful day! and overall, a super de duper one as well. numerous things happened.
pe where we played floorball and i didn't defend the goalpost properly so we lost! and then we had lit. was quite happy with the essay grade, because i got a b- which is far frm what i expected. i thought i'd get a D or even a C- at most. so i'm happy.
wasn't as happy with my paper 8 assignment though. i only managed a 13.5 over 25. though according to mr low, he gave a 14 as the highest. i was near the mark, but not near the mark that i wanted. thus the disappointed "oh" after that. i recovered quickly though, cos there was andy to tease!
then there was break which was absolutely hilarious cos we were treating the visualizer in class like a digicam. we kept capturing absolutely ridiculous images of ourselves and storing them in it, but we couldn't find a way to extract them from the machine. what a waste. the "pictures" were so spastic and so unglam. and it was so tiring to get the image we wanted, we jumped here and jumped there. and we had a whole multitude of poses. marilyn was so funny lar, and vanessa so smiley. and at some points, we looked like we had no arms, or like a guy. and the poses. oh my, the poses. haha
and then there was the last few classes of term. and then band, where halfway i had to ran out to the toilet cos i had a stomach cramps and i thought that i was about to puke. it was fun yet tiring. and then i ran down to campfire.
campfire is such a magical thing. its the one thing that induced me to stay in mj, that made me fall in love with alhena and the orientation. that made me become an ogl. so i rushed down to campfire just in time for results. i cheered my heart out. we were 3rd again, but its ok. alhena still is the best. and mass dance! it was great, with my ever fun and super blur (like me) dance partner. i really enjoyed dancing with you! and mambo where kaisheng said he forgot how to dance. and then the school anthem, where i saw mr yeow smiling and smiling, and the photgrapher taking some extremely unglam shots of me and vanessa as we were singing. and the alhena ogls cheering and cheering after everything was over. and the new ogls, who ran the orientation. and meeting yuyang again. AND wadi was not only the emcee for the night, but ALSO, i found out that he was the OHL of alhena. how wicked is that?! campire is uber fun and alhena is love!
i can't help but feel a tinge of sadness that all of it has passed. it was a most spectacular night. i felt like i was high, even though i missed the first part. i realize that i'll never be able to scream and dance and have fun in that way again in mj. i'll never again see alhena, whether they are winning or otherwise. and i'll miss all that screaming and laughing and singing and dancing. i woke up this morning, with a great smile on my face.
i went to sungei road this morning. it got me thinking abt the nice old people i've met before.
i think that there is something charming about the old man in the corner (not any particular old man, just an old man). his tanned face, his wrinkled smile. his firm handshake and his old jokes. the way his eyes twinkle, and he's so optimistic, despite his age. his old fashioned polite way of talking to you, and his soothing voice. the way he seems so wise, even if he doesn't say a thing. his sound advice and his war old stories. the callused hands and the canvas shopping bag. the way he taps you lightly on the cheek in a most good natured manner. yes there is something charming about that old man. i've had my share of such old people, and i don't know if its enough. i only know i like talking to them and being around them, and i wonder if others do too. they are such nice people.
the charm seems to be reflected in their homes as well. i recall visiting this friend of säsä's close to chrismas time. there was this nice smell of cookies in the house. the decorations on the tree looked ancient and so prettily old fashioned. there was a old piano in the corner which they invited me to play on, and nice springy sofas. the space was warm, but i think it might have been because of the hospitality of the people i was visiting. maybe people do have an effect on a house after all. mansions that are cold and huge are far worse than a small yet cosy living space.
