This is the world he painted
This is the world he saw
He wept in pure sorrow
For nothing could be done at all
Someday, one day, he hope that the rest
Would seek the truth and pull through the test
The destiny and fate of Man lies in their hands
For he who paints the world sees the world
In sorrow, yet ever joyful...

- Was it all just a dream? Or does it just seemed like a dream?
Was back at hwachong for the FIRST time since slc ended on Friday. Conincidentally, I arrived at school exactly 7am when i took a glance at my watch. Then, this weird feeling came from inside me and I dunno why. I had this sudden urgency to chiong to the facs room, as 7am was the SLC facs reporting time on most of the 4 days. I dunno why but my legs starting moving and I think in less than 5 mins, I reached the facs room, as though the facs briefing had started with Jang addressing all facs and I was 5 mins late. In my mind, i rmbed how we the facs were seated in this oval fashion on chairs and reading the duty list that Jang gave out every day. Then reality hit me and I realised that the room was empty and cold just like my heart after SLC. I peeped through the window and the white empty board was in place of the colourful "Facs Haven" board we had. The room, in short, was dead.
At that point of time, I dun know what was I really thinking but the thing is I was determine to relive that dream I had again, playing the memories that I as a fac had during SLC at the actual place itself. I left the fac room and somehow my eyes met the concourse. Yeps, that the concourse, the place where the noise is during SLC lunch, other than our hungry stomachs of course. It was a place for perfect networking and interaction with participants and facs and where the SLC spirit is truly alive, with the food as the uniting factor and it was always full of noise and activity. Just perfect for corporation bonding too. I missed that place. ><>< bleargh so I decided I shall do the FNB fac item outside the classroom. After some "self-highing" following my success in doing the FNB item outside which produced some self-satisfaction in me, something brought me back down to Earth: I realised that I was alone. And the corridor was somehow dead-quiet. Subsequent visits to relive the dream continued and I played those precious memories in my mind. I rmbed how me and sophia played whacko with my corporation members at the second classroom to the right on the second storey of the Tower Block. I rmbed how we were using "Subzero"'s head-office (the classroom beside my corporation head-office) for conglomerate 2's meeting and how we facs passed notes and talked to the participants. I rmbed how slow I was with the typing of the minutes (slower that the typing of this post =X) and I still can't believe I actually volunteered myself to help elynn out. I rmbed the last debrief of the entire SLC, where my beloved corporation, Hoodflins, gathered and said goodbye to one another and reminding one another to keep in contact. I still rmb how I gave out chocolates and sweets , as wel as the certificates, to my participants at the gallery of second floor of the Tower Block : Rachel the short and sweet secretary of the corporation who makes her points short and sweet; Gracia the ever-so-gracious one, always helping Rachel; Diana the feline-lover - meowzzz... ; Atiqah and Minyi, the latecomers without fail for SLC ; Daphne and Jia Qi, the uber quiet ones that fortunately participated actively for the meetings; Constance, the helpful assistant who constantly helped Cheng Aik the CEO out; Min Hye the Da Chang jin lookalike who is SO overaged; Cheng Aik the ever-powerful CEO of the coporation; Sahaj and his sleepiness and cool accent of English; Yi Tian, and his constant flirtations with Min Hye *smirks*; Jonathan and his rashes and pretentious infatuation for Min Hye and last but not least, Kenneth the Magician who seriously look better than David Blaine. And I would like to thank you guys for giving my such a wonderful experience... you peeps rock! Thank for saying "Jasper, you're so cute!" during the grand finale... although I seriously doubt whether I'm cute. And it's great to be called Bugs Bunny by you peeps, although I still cannot explain how come i'm so jumpy during the finale XP Too hyped up I suppose.. lols.....
And of course not to forget sophia, my wonderful co-fac. if not for her, I seriously would have died during SLC. You did such a great job! Thank you so much. Oh gosh, I'm reliving the entire dream and it felt as if someone had turned back the clock. And to add to my fustration, the two tower block classrooms were locked. I went downstairs and saw the OPTS room and of course again, it was locked. This is the place where I seriously salute. I salute the entire OT for giving me this chance to be a fac and salute them for their dedication and commitment to make SLC a success. Thank you OT. After that, I felt like going to the audi, the place where the SLC heart truly beats and I still cannot forget the grand finale, where everyone's all hyped up and "training" around the audi. But of course, like all the rest, it's locked. >< bleargh... And then I had to report to my NCOs... preventing me from being nostalgic and continue to relive the SLC dream... gd thing that I met Jang and we all start talking and rmbering SLC.
I felt like crying but I couldn't seem to cry. I'm an emo person but I just dun really show my emotions through tears. It's all in my heart, and soul.
The SLC flame has dimmed after burning so brightly and magnificently throughout the 4 days of SLC and I t will never go out. I vow that I'll be back the next time it is ever gonna burn so brightly and gloriously, to relive the dream, once again...
I rmb the times... I truly rmb....
