Went to ECP again today.
My, Bishi has growned.
The last I saw her was 3 years ago, when she was just a Sec 1 kid, I think. Sec 4 now, a big girl already.
Still remember when we first met at Genting. I was J1, the choir was at Genting as guest performers for the competition, and she was with PCPS choir (my alma mater) who was competing.
It was just weird. Nothing linked the 2 of us (me and Sher) to her, except that we were from PCPS choir, and now she is. For us, it was like, hey, look, there's our old choir, let's go talk to the teachers.
But, somehow, we got stuck with her. Or she with us. We ended up exchanging numbers, bringing her around with special permission from her teachers in charge, and basically adopted her as a kid sister.
The weird thing is I never expected the relationship to last. The age difference was too big, and the novelty soon wore off, for me at least. And, indeed, things did turn out to proof me right, or at least half-right. Another girl her age who was also stuck with us soon fell off the radar. So I kinda expected her to do the same. Oh, there was the obligatory meet-up after we're back in SG, then there was the Christmas party at Sher's place, then a piano recital, and frankly I thought things would end right there.
But she's a special kid, that one.
She hung on. She tried, where I never did. I feel ashamed of myself for this.
I've decided to give it a try. The 5-year age difference seems smaller now.
Anyway ECP was great fun. Great, tiring fun. Great, tiring, PAINFUL fun. Man, 2 hours on a bike can really do something to one's butt, especially if one's butt is as meat-less as mine.
Well, you can't really describe fun, can you? Words often fail me when it comes to feelings, anyway. Suffice to say it had been a great day. Good to see Sher too, that busy woman.
Hmm.. I guess the promise to blog more isn't really working out, is it?
I'm just lazy.
