Post #2:Hello everybody. Welcome to the great RIMB10 BLOG!
I'm sure all of us realize that we got Silver for our SYF. And most of us are upset because the RIMB09 has already got one gold, and RIMB11 has another chance 2 years time. For us, we got a Silver on our only SYF. It's quite sad, to know that everything is too late and all...
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the RIMB dream.
I have a dream that one day this band will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that a band is not just for SYF."
I have a dream that my batch will one day live in a band where they will not be judged by the color of their SYF medal but by the journey that they have gone through together. I have a dream today!
So I hope that we all realize that our whole band life is not all about SYF. "It's not the achievement, but the journey that really counts." Let's remember all the fun times we had, going on Japan trip and scaring ourselves horribly when going down the roller coasters of Universal Studio, or playing bridge every night and laughing so hard until we could cry (esp when we saw the funny sight of Philemon in his turquoise pajamas playing with giant cards), or maybe even remember how we got through tough times together when Mr. Oura tried to suan us with a few phrases such as "The judges don't really care if you are Sec1, Sec4, Sec2, Sec5, Sec2, you realize I don't say Sec3"We go through thick and thin together, and maybe this period is a difficult time for all of us. But let us all find comfort in our batchmates that really care for us and love us, and may this time of adversity even draw us closer together as a batch.
Let us all decide in our hearts that we are going to prove ourselves. We are going to be the batch that leaves the greatest legacy, to rise the band to greater heights. We are the RIMB Batch of '10.
