Last Saturday (05.06.10) was truly a FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL and AWESOME day for me...I baked banana cupcakes together with my friends (Sook Yan, Xing Jing and Raphael). Can you imagine that? We were baking cupcakes in this extremely not well-equipped student house. Bake cupcakes was actually Raphael's idea. It sounded so ridiculous to me when he first proposed the idea to us but eventually, we had really done a great job and i truly enjoyed it.
After going to and back between Old Wing and New Wing just to find all the baking ingredients and apparatus, after carrying the heavy microwave all the way from student house 92 to student house 194, after calling for aid from Raphael's mum for guidance on what to put first, next and so on, after phoning Raphael's mum again to ask for reason for our failure products, after putting cupcake one by one into the microwave just to find the correct temperature and time required to bake a perfectly look cupcakes, FINALLY, we SUCCEED. Frankly speaking, they don't look as appealing as the cupcakes displayed in the bakery shop at all but the taste was definitely there and they were nutritional and full of potassium and fibre which is definitely good for your health.

Just before we finish baking all the cupcakes, the notion of having karaoke suddenly popped up in our mind. Who said we must go to karaoke box to have karaoke session? With Kuwo Programme, karaoke-ing at home was not a problem at all. Songs after songs were being played and we sang and sang and sang. Chinese songs...English songs...Cantonese songs...whatever songs that we wanted to sing, we just clicked on them and sang! Following the rythm of the songs, we swayed our bodies to left and to right; WOW! It was really amazing and i was so excited that i really hoped that time will stop tickling at that moment. We had three-hour karaoke session but that was SERIOUSLY NOT ENOUGH. I really hope that we could continue singing but we couldn't because Raphael had to return to hostel already. With reluctant, we ended the karaoke session.
Sook Yan, Heng Hee and I walked Raphael to student house 90 to return the microwave and let Zaf sent him back to hostel. Enroute to student house 90, the images of four of us (Sook Yan, Xing Jing, Raphael and I) gathering around my laptop, singing the songs that all of us were familiar with were still reflecting in my mind. I still can hear our sweet and harmony voices lingering in my ears. Why can't we just sing without having to stop? I really MISSED THAT MOMENT very very much.
Around 1.00 midnight, Raphael had returned to hostel but Sook Yan, Heng Hee and I were still staying at student houise 92. TBC and Ciku were watching horror movies and Kah Wai was onlining. We chatted for a while and don't know how, someone started the singing session again. Once again, i got ectremely excited and i was in cloud nine. It was the SECOND BLAST of that day but this second singing session was a little bit different from the previous one. Instead of popular songs, we sang children songs and also songs of our parents' time. Surprisingly, we still can remember the lyrics for children songs very well. With each of us contributed some songs (actually quite a lot), it's really unbelieveable that there're actually quite a lot of songs that we had listened too when we were just small kids. More importantly, i realised that quite a lot of us actually love music, love singing and can sing very well. We forced our mind to think of any songs that we had listened to and shared them with everyone. We got really excited when we can sense the songs were coming and when it finally BURST through our mind, PoOoOFFff!!! A sense of victory engulfed us and swang us up to the cool crisp air! It was really FANTASTIC!
What a wonderful Saturday i had for last weekend. This will become a historical day for me as I never felt so happy, contented and excited before. I can never forget about the moment we had spent together. Heartfelt thanks to Sook Yan, Xing Jing, Raphael, Heng Hee, Kah Wai, TBC and Ciku. However, i am afraid that this feeling will gradually fade away. In fact, it certainly will. The few following mornings after Saturday, when i flased back all the events that occured on that day, i wondered whether it's just a dream. It makes me feel like i was in heaven but i can't believe that it was real actually.
