Chinese Drama Night 2006

Woke up really early this morning for tennis session at 8am. Didn't really play well today, especially after I tried to catch a ball, resulting in me crashing into the side walls and bruising my left wrist. Ha ha.

Was really really tired but I still went down to Comex 2006 at Expo to meet Melvin in the afternoon around 1pm to shop for camera and mp3 players. He hasn't really decided which mp3 players to buy, thus ended up accompanying me to look for camera. After researching serveral sites and forums, hearing recommendations from friends and personally trying the cameras, I finally bought my first digital camera... Fujifilm FinePix F30. Hee hee, shall play with the camera and perhaps post some shots in my blog when I have the time. =)

Its only a moment since I reached home when I got jio-ed out to play pool. Man, did I play lousy today. Seems like nothing is good today. Ha Ha. Played for about 1 hour before we rushed for dinner at Subway and make our way down to Yishun.

Its been ages since I visited my JC. The last time dating back to the day when we went back to collect our results for 'A' level. It feels really funny stepping into the college... It looks pretty much the same except for some of the renovation, expansion and cosmetic improvements construction going on. The late night visit definitely brought back many fond memories as JC days were definitely the most enjoyable academic days among the 12 years of education... to come back for a meaningful purpose of supporting the alumni further escalate the emotions within me. Tonight marked a milestone for YJC Chinese Cultural Society (CCS)... to instill, educate, renew and broadcast our cultural and love of this eca to students and teachers alike. It was a miraculous, wonderous night of performance brought together by various batches of YJC CCS alumni. Although the overall standard wasn't really good with various hiccups, but I believe it has injected new life in this dying eca in the school where people forgot how to appreciate how beautiful this eca is. Another reason for this night was to celebrate the school's 20th Anniversary.

We couldn't called it 夜之蓝园 as we aren't students and it wasn't appropriate, thus we called tonight, "Chinese Drama Night". The old name would have a greater impact... a pity it cant be used. =(

During the interval, I was glad that I can bring my bro to take a tour around the school. We walked to the grand stand then the field, before bringing him to the steps outside the main Hall where we used to have our exams... (a place where my classmates would gather before each paper, 'looking at the birds grazing on the grass...' a phrase my beloved classmates would remember.) We walked to the low wall and sat on top of it while tons of memories flooded me till I almost welled up. Walked the back of the Hall before returning to the auditorium to enjoy the second half of the performance. A night of gathering, but its quite sad to see only a few of us there... only Shi Hui, Felicia, Jia Hui, Xiao Bing, Jun Ming, Guo Quan and my sister went back to support this event.

A song that I got introduced to back in JC days during one of the performances... almost forgotten how much I loved this song until they sang this song tonight. Sharing the lyrics here with you all. =)

歌手: 潘盈
歌名: 让夜轻轻落下

等着黑夜轻轻轻轻落下
将你我来覆盖 等着黎明的安排
过去已经过去未来未必存在
让我们继续相信现在

对你从来不改变 千种柔情说着一种语言
昙花的笑靥 星光的乍现
是我羞涩散乱的思念

你也从来不改变 一种沉默说着千种亏欠
紧紧拥抱我 轻轻放开我
像放开无处安放的依眷

曾经我将无助的爱情
静静枕在你的臂弯里
以为它将为我阻挡风雨
共我面对寂寞的潮汐

可是在你宽阔温暖的胸怀里
总是听到冷冷的叹息
你那不屑说谎的眼睛
始终教我自己回避

也许已经不是爱 只是一种坚持的情怀
也许依然还有爱 也许是慢慢生长的悲哀

等着黑夜轻轻轻轻落下
将你我来覆盖 等着黎明的安排
过去已经过去 未来未必存在
让我们继续相信现在

可是在你宽阔温暖的胸怀里
总是听到冷冷的叹息
你那不屑说谎的眼睛
始终教我自己回避

也许已经不是爱 只是一种坚持的情怀
也许依然还有爱 也许是慢慢生长的悲哀

等着黑夜轻轻轻轻落下
将你我来覆盖 等着黎明的安排
过去已经过去 未来未必存在
让我们继续相信现在

可是在你宽阔温暖的胸怀里
总是听到冷冷的叹息
你那不屑说谎的眼睛
始终教我自己回避

曾经我将无助的爱情
静静枕在你的臂弯里
以为它将为我阻挡风雨
共我面对寂寞的潮汐

可是在你宽阔温暖的胸怀里
总是听到冷冷的叹息
你那不屑说谎的眼睛始终教我自己回避
