Was just reflecting on the hcn'06 experience when these thoughts occurred to me:

All those faces, familiar and foreign,
who shared similar history
gathered there for the night
Dressed in their/our elegant and gallant attires
Reliving a second prom away from home
Away from the time when we were still officially 'teens'

Were they/we there in our common mission of seeking for that something
That'll link us back with the past
The period where our lives revolved around nothing but Studies, CCAs and Friends
Busy lives
Packed full of activities
Stressful, eventful, still quite innocent and pure

Did we rediscover this certain something that night then?
As we meet each other again
As the familiar chinese 'school' songs and mass dances brought us onto the dancefloor as one
The past, the present...

So now, as we move on into our future,
May we always hold in our hearts this special place
For each other
For cherished memories
For a college that no longer calls itself by the name of yore
But for which it'll always be fondly remembered as

Because in spite of all that were transitory
Our memories shall continue to bear witness to what has been

Once a HCian, always a HCian
HwaChoo- thinking of you~
