Tonight's command supper has brought back many meaningful bittersweet memories of the old hall, n the block's waterfall & 3 and a half pine tress... All tt during the screening of the tribute videos, deeply touching the many hearts (including mine), some even tearfully...
I admit, I haven't been contributing much to the hall, what more to the block... But being the slow learner me, studies had to be a priority since i had to work doubly hard just to maintain an average cap... a painful lesson i learnt after getting burnt out n screwing up my cap in year 1... n to think i could juggle student council & 4 cca's in jc, sigh...
At the same time, I was also already aware of the dwindling in hall & block spirit after moving to the new location.. with an unfriendly pgp-like room arrangement (n truly horrendous architecture), ppl naturally got more distant from each other since it was now much easier to hide behind closed doors... even calling ppl down for dinner was already a chore to the block comm, shouting up 7 floors instead of 5... things were not what they used to be... everything was different, from the juniors' nonchalant perspective on hall or block spirit to the trickling numbers of alumnis coming back just to have supper & have a chat with their juniors at mini fong seng... because there is no sense of belonging to the old kr anymore...
Naturally, most of us seniors would feel dejected n discouraged about these changes... whereas I was convinced that my faith, especially for the block was almost gone since I was more involve in hall based activities...
Until tonight...
Maybe it's the realization tt i'm gonna be the laolang next year n time was running out, maybe I was finally feeling overwhelming guilt for being a phantom for so long, or maybe my new perspective of life had changed my views on the rationale of staying in hall... Nevertheless, as i saw every single laolang's genuine enthusiasm and love for the block reflected on their tear-stained faces, as they spend their last precious times together making dnd costumes n command videos... i was glad to know tt as i searched deep in my heart in turn, i was able to find back the true B blocker spirit which i thought i had lost...
So thank you so laolangs, for renewing my faith in our block in time... with one final year to go, it's still not too late to contribute all i have to the block... n be the true blue, dedicated, charismatic block senior we freshmen have all looked up to and inspired by once upon a time...
