having dinner with poh yih and joe yesterday after band brought be back to my sec school days. i was reminded instantly of the days hongliang and i were still in GESSBand. from the days we were only small fries, to having some form of authority in sec 2 while we were still constantly ‘bullied’ by our seniors, to our carefree sec 3 days when we will skip class just to go see the band members on practice days. all those days ended when we got our ranks and posts; all the horror began.

i was promoted drum major, a post that i’ve always wanted but also a post that he’s almost bound to get. mixed feelings wrecked our minds; i knew he was trying to avoid getting the post, but little did he expect he wouldn’t get a decent post. i felt like i was presented the post out of charity, and he felt left out without some sort of a status.

very soon, we drifted apart.

looking at poh yih and joe now reminds me of those days. i’m real glad they are both drum majors now. both of them deserve their post. i look at them and i’m glad they avoided the disaster that came over hongliang and i 8 years ago. and i really hope that the two of them will never lose their friendship. for those people who know hongliang and i, don’t worry, we’re ok now. in fact, i think our friendship is better now. just that i know i spent a miserable sec 4 year without real friendship to talk about. all these for a chance to hold the mace on the parade square.

if you guys are reading this, thanks for having dinner with a poor soul like me (haha), and promise me you will not lose your friendship. and let’s have a good year ahead of us
