Hai Sians (Seafood?)

Hai Sing High, now know as Hai Sing Catholic, was my Secondary School. I still could remember all those years in school, the fun, the laughter, the crazy things we do, the struggles, the friendship, everything was a part of me. I guess that was one of my best 4 yrs spent in school. I do enjoy my other years of school but just that Secondary was like my highlight. Primary school was fun but I guess I was a crybaby and timid boy so most of the time I was spending worrying over everything. Then JC was fun too, had alot of friends but for me most of the time was struggling to climb out of the red zone.
Secondary was fun becoz it was a transition from a little boy to a youth. It seemed like suddenly the world was more than it meets the eyes. There were so much more things to explore. (especially girls... ops! haha!) And I really thank God for friendship that was formed during Secondary sch. I have to admit that I was very not active with the activities they organised but yet they have been very gracious and accepting. Even after 10 yrs we left sch, we were still meeting up. It is very interesting and funny to think back 10 yrs ago on the things we do. When we were in Sec 1, we formed our different sects in the class. The girls had 3 sects and the guys had 4 sects. And within the sects we had like a Family Tree. And it can get very complicated. Like Girl A could be Boy B's daughter but because Girl A is like linked to Boy C and happened that Boy C is a 'brother' of Boy B, the whole relationship gets messed up. So extrapolate this results to a class of 40. You can see how messy we all are. The girls didn't have name for their sects but the guys did. One of the sects is called the "Roller Hawks" because they roller blade and rollerblade hockey was the in thing at my time. Another sect was called the TERA because they are made up of 4 memebers and they used the 1st initial of their name to form the word TERA. My sect is called the SPECS. 5 of us and we are called SPECS because we all wear specs. Haha! Lame I know! But I'm proud! The last group was a very mean and sad case. I guess we were all immature and insensitive at that age. Those who were not in any particular sect was defaulted into the last sect, known as the Turtle Tribe. I dun know who came up with the name (i suspect it was me! : p) but come to think about it, it's funny but mean. (i was a part time meany in class; yes i can be very mean) After Sec 2, we broke into our different streams but yet we never forget our friendship. Up to now, TERA, SPECS and the 12 girls sects are still meeting up. Really thank God for these wonderful friendship. And it is also amazing lah!
One of the guys from the Turtle Tribe and one of the sister of the12 girl sects were hitched together since Secondary Sch. And they just got married a few months back. Haha! Den also one of the brothers in my sect is attached to one of the sister in the 12 girls sects. Wuaahahahaha! It cannot get any better. Interesting! Will there be more interesting things? We shall see!

Let's talk abit more about my sect, the SPECS. I cannot exactly how our sect formed. I did remember the 1st day of sch in our class, the form teacher told us to go walk around and introduce ourself. I remembered I walk to these guy who was like way too tall den the normal sec 1 boys like us. And then the next thing I knew was that he became our Da Ge (big brother). Our Big Brother - Chan Kah Seng. He is 2 yrs older than all of us. His parents open Wan Tan Mee at Pasir Ris Central. Very good! Must go and try. And presently he is married to his wife who is pregnant with twins, 1 girl 1 boy! Wow! Amazing.
And my 2nd Brother - Yong Kian Leong. Humorous is an understatement for him. Without fail, at all circumstances, he will crack your mouth open. Best known for his unbeatable tongue. But you will once in a while see the quiet side of him as well.
And 3rd Brother - Choo Xianjie. Oh that's me! haha! What do i say about myself?
4th Brother - Toh Meng Lee. The arty farty one. Haha! Creative juice flowing in every part of his body. Adventurous. He is the 1st among us to go abroad to work. Quiet but when he opens his mouth, your mouth will also be wide open. Haha!
5th Brother - Chai Jian Wei. Though the youngest, do not underestimate him. One of the brainy. Can be quiet but once open mouth...... you know the results. (i guess that's one of the trademark of the SPECS) He is the one who is attached to one of the sister in the 12 girls sect. It was so low-profile that we only knew it when they were holding hands. Yup! He has his ways with the girls. Muahaha!

A quick run through of my sect. Presently only me and my 2nd brother is free agent. The rest are taken. Interested, pls apply. Muahahahahaaha!

Well! Secondary is the best time in my life. If I can, I would want to go through again. And I missed the Canteen food. Haha!

Actually, I decided to post about Hai Sing was because I remembered singing this hymns during Morning assembly. But I couldn't fully remember the lyrics. The tune attracted me at that time. Now as I read the lyrics, it is so meaningful but I just can't recall the full lyrics. I am appealing to anyone who can help me fill in the missing parts. Thanks!

SPIRIT WINGS (if i didn't remember wrongly)

Some birds live in cages
They sing a quiet song
And like them
I could sing for only You

But Lord Your love release me
To sing a different song
And soar above
The captive life I knew

Chours:
Spirit Wings
You lift me over all the earth bound things
And like a bird my heart is flying free
????????
????????
You lift me up
????
????
You carry me on Your Spirit Wings
