IM so so so so so HAPPY.
so so so so so LONG since i had such a fun time with my friends.
(much less this bunch of crazy people of this bigbig family im in)
IM just so so so so so so HAPPY.
NORTH ANNIVERSARY
nothing went well from the start all the way till the doors were opened to welcome the screaming crowd who were all crammed and waiting for close to 20mins outside. (which is near the toilet, stuffy, smelly-but thats from their own pespiration i guess- and unimaginably HOT.) like i said, nothing went well.
not till our dearest MCs, joanhoe and weikeat took the stage with their amazing hosting skills- amazing skills of suan-ing each other and engaging the crowd at the same time. good eh?-
joshua who led the "who wants to be a millionaire?"
yes, the yummy five course meal we had.
davidhoe who made some people's market value drop to the max, showing their CUIest photos to everyone in north for COC.
the craziest side of the CLs the members had ever seen as we all danced to xiao zhu's cheng yao and okgo(yes, i cant believe i did that too)
followed by "why i love north"
the UNFALTERING video which touched many and made Sharlene tear as we viewed north's history in silence. "yes, and this word UNFALTERING is what makes NORTH NORTH" ended davidhoe.
and our LONG awaited NORTH got TALENT.
我最爱的DANCERS! joshua(affectionately called "ah zun"), emanuel, justin,junkai, yilin, vivien, clara, rachel. you guys did an awesome job. those practices at neesoon cc, using the pathetic reflection of the badminton place really really paid off. thank you for taking your time to turn up so faithfully for practices and trying your best to pick up new generes of dance. you guys rocked the stage man!
the singers, yongqing and debbie who wowed the crowd with your amazing vocals. not forgetting davidsentosa and vincent, and our very own North F4.
the band. a must say, cause only the day before anniversary, after all the panic, they found drums that can be transported to NP alumni house. ALL OF YOU ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN MAN. it was like some concert or something. Brandon, cyril, nicholas, jiajun, jianhao, leonard. you guys made the crowd HIGH to the max- imagine a whole lot of us standing and swaying our hands to the song- it was then we saw the rocker side in all of you. good job!
then.. PHOTOTAKING(:
lastly, i wanna say a hugeTHANKYOU to the team who set up everything for us. without them, the mikes wouldnt even have worked. xueyong, yongen, weikeat etc. zhishen who did the lights, yongen who clicked, xueyong who helped the dancers cut the songs etc. 辛苦你们了！
AND WANTING! who did the planning and stressed about it day and night. you made this possible:)
this was not just another event. by the grace of God, He turned this into a memorable day for all of us. this is a milestone for North. well done everyone.
the picture of everyone's backview as we walked/skipped/ran/chased each other down the dimly lit slope/road/street/whatever to the bus stop put a smile on my face. cause i saw everyone laughing, smiling. i heard the sound of laughter in the air, i felt the sense of joy thick around me. cause i saw differnt people from different units coming to attend north anniversay, and walked home as a FAMILY, knowing we are all in this race together(:
GOD, ONLY YOU CAN MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.
UNMISTAKABLY, IT'S YOU.
MY FIRSTS.
CCHY, i was just thinking.... maybe five years down the road, we'll all look at this photo and smile cause we have seen one another grow and mature along the way.
