REVISITING OLD ROOTS
This is a picture of the 33th Hwa Chong OAC instructors, setting up the OAC booth to sell balloons, a tradition that was passed down more than 10 year ago.
haha, I went for Hwa Chong MAF yest night. Was apprehensive about going back initially coz it seems like in recent years its more or less the same thing. However, what really made me change my mind was the chance to have supper with some of my 26th OAC friends, as well as the chance to see my grand juniors at the annual Wu3 Ling2 Da4 Hui4.
Anyway when we went back, we were like the oldest batch back there man ahah! But we sure are damn proud of it! Heh, I was forced once again to address everyone, and I made the pertinent point to all the juniors to keep in touch with their respective batches, and I think the 26th has really led by example, 7 years on after graduating. In fact, we are meeting again next weekend for dinner yayz! Err, but as Chermaine correctly pointed out, I guess the thought never occurred to us in the past that we ll all actually come back as the oldest seniors heh heh.
I guess it was really sweet to see Hwa Chong OAC doing well even after so many years. At the end of the dae, no matter how old we grow or how far we go, friendships and families like these remind you of your roots and where you came from. Remind you of the values of which you once espoused as a leader in that organization.
And most importantly, remind you that even if given a choice, you would never have traded all these memories and friendships for anything else in this world. =)
