#2. Ethnic, oh so Ethnic.

Its just another day. Oh well.


Me, XiaoShan, ChengPei; so ethnic.

So, we commemorated Racial Harmony in college today by clading in ethnic clothings despite the actual date being tomorrow. Although the response from the college wasn't that good, a quarter of the school managed to turn up in the expected clothing. Cool. :) Btw, this picture looks pretty bad cos it was taken in the audi (with no flash) seconds before the performance and teachers by our sides.

Civics was replaced by Mass Civics in which the HC & MSC boys put up a cultural play cum quiz. It was pretty good I must say although the Malay strumming and singing wasn't as good as those in JY. The peak of the entire 45 minutes session should have been where Mr Hassim won himself the third best dressed tutor of the day. All Hail to CG 19/05 with such a handsome Civics Tutor. :)

College's pride then came with a presentation on his conquerance of Mount Everest this June. Stefen Chow (reads: Stepfen Chow; if you get me), graduating class of 1998, if I'm not wrong. He's was one of those most inspiring talks I could say; Passion. In his words, he reminded us of the importance of the process, to overcome the physical barrier of our dreams - to fantasize, and to have passion - passion for your dream. As we looked through the slides which showcases the months and years of perspiration for just that 20 minutes of glory, the breathtaking scenery way up Everest, I put myself in his shoes. I dream of myself coming back to Bedok South Road, perhaps 10 or even 20 years from now, standing just right on that auditorium stage I've never had a chance to stand on, addressing the juniors about my dream.

I want to come back one day to tell of my juniors how I scaled by physical barriers and circled the world. I want to one day tell them I dreamt to walk to world, and now I've the entire world under my feet. I know I can because, I've the Passion for it.

I was MSNing with ZX just now halfway through this post. His LOST nick made me so curious that I decided to IM him. Then we chatted for a while, discussed abit. Who at our age have yet to feel such a emotion? Very few I suppose. Regarding all that he decide to release, I feel so wrong. I mean, his method seemed so wrong, seemed so 2004. I don't know, all I felt was like I want to help him, for I take him as a good friend. Because I knew how hard it was without guidance and advice, so I want to help. Or at least, I tried to help.

But what I didn't reveal was how down I was feeling when I was on the conversation.

Integration & vectors tuts. await me. Goodnight virtual world.
