"Guys, please. I need you to cheer from your hearts for our ACS...We need all your support.."
Or something along those lines. In my six years in the school, the rugby team has never needed to garner favour from the general populace of the institution, for the simple reason that it was mandatory and commonplace for us to give our sportsmen, musicians, actors etc the support that could enable them move mountains. We're ACSians, no?
The new auditorium is pretty amazing in terms of stature and capacity, one of the largest in educational institutions if I'm not wrong, a corollolary of the influx of physical, psychological and social change. It was funnily quiet when we were requested to stand up to cheer, especially from the lower secondary levels, akin to a deathly chasm where all the ideas, notions and values cherished by the old guard evaporated into void.
The young man stood on the rostrum and gazed into the crowd, pleading with his eyes and voice. I saw his shoulders slump as he got a negligible response, nothing more than ambivalent laughter from mere children, too young to remember glory and to old to give a damn.
I had malaise. Those at the rostrum, in our school colours are never scorned this way. It was a pitiful sight. The contents of those rousing cheers echoed hollow, and only exacerbated my feelings of loss and despair in a sea of apathy.
Frankly I don't give a shit if you think I'm 'over enthu', 'on' or 'having too much time.' Actually, I don't give a shit either way. The old gods have died a long time ago.
I'll post some more later because I have things to do now. yinghua yinghua diyiming.
