cca is not just a cca, because it tells the story of a bunch of people. a bunch of people who were seemingly strangers at first but soon found attachment to the people around them.
for me, hcco is something i want to cherish. they say things that dont come easy are more treasured, how true. this journey was not a smoothsailing one, and the rah-rah hyperness didnt come easy either.
sometimes i wonder what would happen if right at the start of last year, i had listened to my head a little more and stopped my co journey there and then. yes, i had problems adapting to the hcco culture then, it was so different from nyco, the section was pretty much lukewarm at first, faces in dazu look so foreign and i was afraid of what was to come. what if it did not end well, i didnt want a happy ending back in end of sec four to become a nightmare two years later. but thank God He gave me a heart that speaks louder than my head. and i stayed and no regrets yupp.
so things changed, and thankfully for the better. faces and voices around you become more familiar and the next thing you know when you smile at someone, he or she will smile back haha. and more and more it feels just like the right place to be in. we have so many differences among us but you just cant deny theres just something special and common in us that makes us come back week after week. the many practices, the many fun games we had - the common pastime being qiao3, huang zhong concert, hcco interaction, the whole syf experience. all the toil and sweat (its probably too cold in lt3 and mph) and the laughters and fun. and oh yeah of course the 67, 170, 171, 961 bus gang, all the random crap that we did and talked about on the bus after every single prac. late bus trips home are made different with you guys. there's so many things and memories we have to selfishly bring away together with us, yes we may have the achievements, what do they mean without the people? every one of us, especially hcco 06-07, we remember each other as the hcco in our hearts.
thank you dyb for being the section thats so subtle in the kind of rah-rah love. HAHA. when the whole world is hyper, we can be seen stoning. but look a bit deeper, im very awed by some of the sweet and random things that we will do. those small little cosy talks, knowing that in front of some people, its just totally fine to act stupid. or be stupid haha. okay or maybe its me being stupid and zhikang laughing at me -.- pfft.
hmmm there will be a lot of departures this year, this being the first but i shall not emo. because what's to come will come and things dont end there. they merely take on a new role. don't stay, move on but look back. and be glad that all these happened and you are there.
when the last note resounds in the concert hall, we know its all over or is it? this story has come to an end, or rather the end of the chapter i would say. because our hcco story will then take on a new purpose and the new chapter starts with another batch of people. people who will enjoy this journey, as much as we did. hwachong life will never be the same again without you people, and for all the memories i took along with me i definitely give thanks for. this story you guys have written with me, im locking it up with me (:
and maybe we may not be partners on stage anymore, but what about the stage of life? (: no one says there's an absolute end.
