Well, just a few more days before we all bid farewell to 2006 and welcome the new 2007. 2006 is one of the little few years of my life that i considered fantastic, or at the very least,
fun.
2006 has been a really really fun year for me. In fact, it's gonna be my
fun-nest year of my life. This really fantastic year started of with my really fantastic class,
CHS Sec 4-10. Yep. This class was
WAY better and more fun than 5c, 6c, 1-2 and 2-2. Those 4 years are really as good as living hell. But things changed in Sec 3-10, except for a few totally-uncalled-for hiccups by some people who have misunderstood. Anyways, back to the main topic, 4-10 changed my life. It was what made me do some things I'll never do. Something like a lot of my "Firsts" are all due to 4-10. Yup. It might sound stupid, but that's what it is. =)
One of my few "Firsts" was to actually join a musically-oriented competition. After the "superstar craze" happening on Channel U, i decided to give it a try. That happened with the
CHMA. Through that, I finally fully understood the difference between a
performer and a
spectator, even after 3.5 years of performing in the Chinese Orchestra at that point of time. In this "First" was another little "First", which was to actually play an electric guitar. I've always wanted to do that, and that was realised when i decided to join the CHMA with some of my friends, forming a band. This brings us to another "First", which was to form a band. We called ourselves "
Lithium", due to the fact that we couldn't come up with other names and was also aware of the upcoming 'O' Levels. So yea.
Another one of my "Firsts" sounds a bit silly. During the day of my Graduation Night just a few weeks ago, me and some classmates went to Sentosa early for some fun. At the beach, i took off my shirt in public and played soccer for the first time. Yea, you can start laughing now, but its quite an accomplishment for me ok... I would
NEVER have done it if not for the fact that
everybody else had their shirts off. So yea... LOLZ. Oh yea, this reminds me. This next one ain't actually a "First", but considering the amount of time I didn't do it, it qualifies as a "First". It was to play soccer, or "
Joga" in 4-10 terms. Yup. Anyways, that night in Sentosa after the Grad Night, we all missed the last bus around the island. So that was the first time I, together with my friends,
WALKED from Rasa Sentosa Resort to the hotel room my friend booked on another side of the island, get our bags, and then
WALKED back to the mainland. Yea, it might sound nothing, but imagine hardly any visibility and the many stories about Sentosa at night, it was worth something. Yep.
I truly enjoyed 2006. The many "rock concerts" in class, stupid/lame jokes in class with classmates and teachers, LAN sessions, study sessions, Joga, being
suan-ed by Nick Tay and Hansen, and many more. Totally etched in my head. Gonna miss this class when I head on to JC... Yea.
Let's all hope 2007 will be as good as, if not better than 2006. Cheers everyone!
