School Crest for CCPS, SACPS/SS

I am reminded of my primary school when I went to pick Ali up at SACSS earlier on. In case some of you didn't know, my primary school is Canossa Convent Primary School. It's an all-girls school and I am so blessed to have spent 6 fruitful years there.

The Canossian Eduplex is located at Salim Road, along Aljunied Road near my place. It comprises of 5 different entities - Canossian School for the Hearing Impaired (CSHI), Canossa Convent (Convent), Canossa Convent Primary (CCPS), Canossaville Children's Home (CCH) and Magdelene's Kindergarten.

It was at this school that I picked up core values of respect for others, honesty, sensitivity, charity, humility, grace, joy and peace, just to name a few. The four-pointed star represents four basic social virtues: Truth, Justice, Love, Freedom. And the school motto was - Via, Veritas & Vita, which literally meant the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Reflecting on the 10 years I spent in primary & secondary education, I've passed many milestones & learning points during the course. I am thankful God is so faithful to me and I had not gone wayward. My core CCA was in the concert band, that is besides my prefectorial duties & leadership positions. I love playing in the band. I was given the instrument which suited my personality so well - the trumpet/cornet. The bright Bb instrument was the lead in her own way - the princess of the brass section & usually the solo instrument for most pieces. Her closest competitor is the Saxyphone from the woodwinds section. However, when a piece is able to tap on both instruments for solo parts (take a listen at Fiera Winds), it'd sound absolutely magnificent.

Fast forward back to 2010. It is now the end of project deadlines & assignments. I can finally heave a sigh of relief. But before I let loose, I am reminded I have to study for my impending examinations.

Had spent the day after my ccm test @ bedok. Haven't been to that eastern part of Singa in eons. Studied @ the library with Jieyi. Was a joy hanging out with her. Enjoyed the sharing, & honesty with each other. I am thankful for this campha sister whom I can relate to and trust, because I can't seem to trust the rest. Hah.

Dinnered @ 85 market, bakchormee & bbq chicken wings! :)
Met up the sister with some of the band juniors and headed home from there.
Looking at how Ali interacted with her schoolmates brought me back to my mpss/ccps school years where I had fun with my girlfriends then. It was so nice to belong to a group, a CCA. Ahh reminiscing the times.

Past few days have been pretty tight for me. I just thank God that I am still in one-piece. Poor Estrella died on me since last week. Haven't been able to revive her, I really do miss her so. Xavier's enlistment on Tuesday the 2nd, didn't manage to catch up with him :( DTF lunch with Ken on thursday and played my first game - l4d2. (okay guys I officially join your gamerz club) Samuel's (dan's younger bro) enlistment on Friday 5th and Roy's on Saturday 6th! Caught the show "12 blades" with the ccu cell + gabby & had our first tcm youth meeting. Finally managed to pass my beloved Estrella to Hsien Zhuan on Sunday.
