the little things Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 10:34 PM I just got back from my secondary school's secondary 1 orientation camp and 2 things... Firstly, I really did looked forward to typing this because i'd almost screamed and tore down people in the camp. I was only there for a short time but in this short time, people managed to have stirred up my sense of justice. I took the usual bus 806 to northbrooks, walked the very familiar arc path leading to the main gate. It's different now, i was greeted by the security guard. The first thing i saw was the basketball court and i have so much impressions of this particular game ground. It was the place i fell in love with basketball, the place where i'd given everything for my most loved sport. I can remember it was the place my coached reprimanded me for bad performance, yeah... the same small corner. I remember the net that i tried so hard to reach last time. For a moment, it felt uneasy looking at that place so i quickly went away. It was a shock for me all over again. The way teachers talk, the way the npcc leader spoke. Awww... it was totally demeaning and i'd fell in love with every single one of this sec 1s at the camp fire. I felt so challenged to pick up the mic and run the thing myself... and if only i could i would. Now i kinda know why i had a problem with authority in the past. I thought it had to be me hating being talked down upon. Hahhs, just another sweet childhood story to hear ain't it? Yeah very well... you're right. But i tell you, over my dead body will i allow anyone to talk down to zone f youths. It means so so much to me. It is so amazingly seeing them smile, seeing them cry, seeing them angry. It's so sweet... Then after a while, i left in a hurry. Oh, but it was no hurry. I just wanted to visit the basketball court again. This time i was on court. Woooo.... amazing. But yeah man, i've moved on in life. Hahhs... Secondly, just today O level results were released. Some did well but some didn't do very well. I was happy for some, very happy for some but i was also broken with some. Talking to them, listening to their painful reason just make me love what i do even more. Did well they have did well. Not do well they have not do well. At the end of the day, they still remain the heroes that i know. Nadine, Sinfei, Gong Hua and Cheryl Chan... Awwww.... They're still the same amazing them. It has always been about the little little things that builds someone up.
