Why everyone was writing about CCA?

I was reading Yix' blog where he posted an entry about his CCA-- which happened to be CO too.. Well, he was from CCHS main CO and VJCO.. In his blog, he was talking about the impacts of CO on his life, which I sort of agree with.. Then he asked me a question in his blog "Do you like DHSCO more or RJCO more?" hehe seriously I do not know how to answer this question...

For me, DHSCO was the first place that gave me a feeling of shelter when I first came to Singapore, I guess I enjoyed CCO a lot more than DHSCO at that time cos in CCO you always got nice songs to play where in DHSCO, you have to repeat the same song for two year just for the event called SYF.. The teachers are generally nice to me, and the people in DHSCO, esp the XYZ were so nice and sweet. During my most desperate years in DHS, they helped me through the darkest moments.. (and CO room was a place I always hide from the rubbish going around in the boarding and class...)

After I went to RJCO expecting the same environment. But I was sort of shocked (It was more like a culture shock I guess), everyone was technically good and dared to show off-- which is almost unimaginable in DHS (cos DHS focus on group playing only, if you want to solo, everyone will look at you with that kind of "chey, showing off" look).. SO at first I was a bit reluctant about joining CO, BUT, what else can I do? haha so at first I thought I ENDED UP in CO.. I think I was more stressed up in RJCO cos there are really smart people out there... haha maybe because it is Raffles...

Now when I look back, sometimes I do think of all the unhappiness and stress due to the problems were thrown to us, yea I have to say that those were the things that forced me to grow up, to learn to deal with situations I did not want to face.. I mean, without such incidents, probably RJCO will just be another two years of memories like DHSCO.. Also, without that experience, how can I expect the friendship we forged in RJCO?

I was listening to chmm the whole night, and I was thinking of our Da Mo, our Mo Li Hua... I realized that I could easily draw the Dazu arrangement for our SYF.. It was something that lies deep in my heart and I will keep treasuring it..

Yea, if you want to know why I always bring my camera with me and took all the funny, idiotic, stupid, bimbotic videos, the reason was simple. I wished certain moments could be caught and kept when I was in DHS, and I believed that it will be invaluable if anyone of us goes big... Hur Hur Hur.. (my laughter is as usual..)

haha as for my CCAs now, I did not officially join any one.. Well, I was part of the Women Musicians which I had some performance with them.. Also the creative art orchestra. I am just so grateful that I have the chance to stay in touch with my Erhu... I don't know.. when I was in RJ, Mdm Teng said I was die for CO, die for exams.. which I did.. (>_<) Now I really wanted to try to be a mugger.. But sadly, I am not a real mugger, like now, 2 am ++, I am using the precious time that I was supposed to read about my Daoism stuff to blog.. =_=||

Oh, one more thing, today is Noah and Luan's 3rd Birthday!! Happy Birthday to the shuai ges!! (for those who doesnt know, Miro Klose has two sons: Luan and Noah..)

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
