Simple in virtue, Steadfast in Duty. Friday, July 11, 2008 Simple Dans Ma Vertu, Forte Dans Mon Devoir Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty This is gonna be extremely nostalgic. I just came back from my sister's Drama Night. We as a family decided to provide the little one our support, so we went down to her school in full force. It does bring back memories. No matter how often I go.. somehow, when I look at the building, I always see the previous school building instead, with its blue tiles, red gatlings and of course, the memorable school recess bell. What affected me was really.. going into the hall.. and seeing excited girls excitedly chattering with each other and running everywhere. Reminiscence. Then.. I warned my brother, heh heh :P In true blue form.. when the drama started, all the girls screamed their lungs out. It was real entertaining to watch my bro, rofl - he went "these girls.. they cannot clap, but must scream.." :P The play itself was not bad. It would have been better if the actresses articulated their words more. It does have a lot of humour though, rofl! :D "of course you had a dream! You've been sleeping all this time!" After the play, my sister and I were down at the canteen, waiting for my parents. As we tried to contact them, we noticed that a bunch of girls gathered at table seemed to be staring at us. Suddenly these girls called out "ammmm..." At first my sis and I ignored them. Then.. they carried on!! So my sister and I looked at them quizzically.. then, thinking they were calling someone behind us, we turned around to check. There was no one! So we continued ignoring them, thinking they're just trying to be funny and were pulling a prank, lol! :P It was only until one of them went up to me, when it clicked! OMG!!! They were my juniors, 5 years younger than I was!!! I screamed out "Oh my gosh!!" and in my excitement (this part sounds terrible, haha.. :P), shoved my handphone at my sister and rushed over to them, rofl!!! :D My goodness! they have all grown so much! Turns out they were actually calling out "Ma'am!"! However, I haven't been called that for ages and hence didn't respond, hwahahahahaaa!!! :P As i talked to them, suddenly one by one, I began to recognise more and more of them! My word.. it was really nostalgia at its best. I found out that it was their Sec4 farewell camp, and they were going to pass out. Time does really fly. Sadly, I also found out that IJRC may be closing down - their strength stood at 33 before the passing-down. Sigh. I guess.. what really tugged my heart, was that they actually remembered me. I was very impressed. and that despite the large age gap, we were able to talk with such ease.. there is just something there.. something which I believe, is just IJ. Tonight really reminded me how much I missed IJ. It's a culture on its own.. and indeed, a safe nest and haven. I went to do a bit of searching. I heard the school song played on the piano by Ms Jacqueline Yip on the CHIJ Secondary website. I looked up the alumni. I even found CHIJ Sec on wiki! :P However.. the most IJ, was hearing my dear IJ buddies singing the IJ Spirit Song to Ser for her birthday. It always softens my heart. I love you girls :) *hugz* As I watch my sister grow.. with her drama night, her council duties, her school days and friends and the stories she brings back to tell us.. I'm glad that she too is able to experience the IJ spirit, as I did. Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty (: | |
