Is something that I think only humans of a certain age and nature would really WANT to go. Its like, even the food doesn't entice me anymore, would rather be home sweet home eating take outs. But nonetheless, it turned out to be a positive experience.
First of course, seeing the undergraduate scholars, those of whom I already could imagine how they'd turn out, was an uplifting experience. Youngsters who don't think they're young, with bright and far-reaching futures performed really well in the dance segment. It was an award winning -Oscars- level kind of performance that kind of sweeps you off your chair.
But the people, its always the ppl that makes your day. The good old DHS senior who only addresses another good old DHS senior by his Chinese name, mind you, not the NRIC dialect name, but the true blue Chinese name. The all so familiar character of the DHS student was rather heart warming.
To top it all off, to share the ceremony and enjoy the performances with a fellow undergraduate turned postgraduate scholar was most precious. Someone who knew how it felt then, someone who had been thru Shatec and sat thru the same undergraduate scholars orientation event, someone who was also once on a certain stage performing for parents and then defence minister, chief executive and directors, was heart-warming.
I now know what I want. If and when I get it, doesn't matter. Most importantly, I'm sure of myself and there's no need for others to push/guide me around anymore.
