Sunday, September 10, 2006: Once more, lost in thoughts
Who were you to me, in our past lives?
You, who were so nice to me, all of you.
You, who treated me indifferently, all of you.
You, who treated me with hostility, all of you.
Who were all of us?
Was I ever my namesake?
Then who is the present incarnation of Odysseus?
And what about all the rest? The Cedar Choristers, the Chor1sters, the classmates and teachers of past and present, my three best friends?
How did we meet? What caused us to meet? When were we? Where were we? Who were we? Why did we meet?
I'm not saying that my life is a mess and that I want to start over. I don't. I'm very happy with it. Really I am. And I am grateful for the bonds, the good bonds. Need I worry about the bad bonds? I doubt.
The world is a motley mix of various types of people. Just as much as you can be surrounded by foes (bella premunt hostilia), you can also be surrounded by friends. It just depends on who you bump into... or does it go deeper than that?
I am grateful.
And here I wish to thank all of you. Though there's no special occasion, I still want to.
In no particular order (special mention to those whose names are capitalised):
1.4 of year 1999 / 2.4 of year 2000!
3.5 of year 2001!
4J of year 2002!
5A of year 2003 / 6A of year 2004!
1Purity of year 2005 / 2Purity of year 2006!
MY THREE BEST FRIENDS!!
THE CHOR1STERS AND CEDAR CHORISTERS! (special mention to named choristers...)
Cedarians first:
S1SL*, S2SL*, A2SL*, Clara, Senior Sec*, Karen, Loshini and Samantha, Senior UM*, Yingfang, Saranya, Yvonne, Youying, Dayna and the rest of the choristers in your cohort!
Pres/A1SL*, VicePres/former HOP*, S1SL/SC/former Sec*, S2SL*, A2SL*, Berenice, Yinxue, Qixuan, Ruiwen, Sec*, Vidhya, Aishwarya and the rest of the choristers in your level!
Yuan Qi, Sonam, Annette, S1SL and RP*, Niro, Dionne, Sunanda, Divya, HOP* and the rest of my cohort's choristers!
Charmaine, Yu E, Jiaxuan, the 1M girls, Jiehui, Charis and the rest! Go juniors!
And not to mention the IP seniors of last year!! Cassandra, Xuemin, Trudy, Kaiyin and Arthi!
* These are the titles held by these people... from these you can deduce right? I needn't explain further.
Chor1sters now!
Li Shan, Lianghwei, Wenqing, Genevieve, Jinli, Victoria (spelling?), Janice, Stacey and a few of the boys (DO NOT GET ME WRONG OK?) such as Joseph and Lester, and one Dunman tenor, and one bass (I really don't know his name, but he's from RV).
*~~* And I shall treasure it eternally.
And hey I didn't forget my parents. Their tribute shall be published in time to come.
Hey Sec4s, how were the prelims? Good luck for Os... No not just good luck, all the best! Here, have my whole plantation of four-leaved clover!! And I do crop rotation too! Every few years I change the crop to... erm... potato... and then I switch back to four-leaved clover! Yeah! So you can have my plantation! I'm only switching to potato in 2009! So there's plenty of luck to go around!!
All the best to all of us for EYE exams. CHEERS.
Should I go on hiatus? Perhaps. If I have to post something to remember, I'll make a note of it in my tagboard.
Will it all really repeat?
And the bonds between us... across different lives... Someday, will I meet you again?
Even if there's someone from another past life that I haven't met yet, I won't fret. I will wait until we meet again.
