Still remember your school anthem?

0

This is my primary school anthem. I still remembers it. But the school is not there anymore. Removed from the MOE school listing. The above video is created by one of the AV crew of CLPS ( Chong Li Primary School ) I think. I’m from the 92-97 batch. Not very sure when CLPS had been removed since I had move house due to En-Bloc. Sad! But I still found my friends in Facebook. ( The wonder of Social Media ).

In fact, when we were young we used to be very naughty. Sing school anthem with only open mouth but no sound. Haha! Play housing block catching at nearby blocks. Or play blind-mice at playground, anyhow climb around. Go mama shop buy ice stick ($0.10 in those days) or buy the mystery black bag.

There is a Youtube which I uploaded too.

Starting September 2012 and in collaboration with Singapore’s leading cinema exhibitor, Golden Village, Sinema will kick off its regular programming at GV Grand located at Great World City. The cinema will apportion a dedicated four-hour time slot from 6.30pm to 10.30pm, every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month for Sinema’s regular programmed screenings.

Mr. Kurt Rieder, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Village said, “We are pleased to lend our support and provide a venue where film lovers can continue to enjoy Sinema’s programming. With the addition of Sinema’s alternative content to our movie offerings, we aim to provide a different experience to those who seek variety in a more accessible location.

Since 2007, Sinema has been operating at its current site of Old School on Mount Sophia earning its name Sinema Old School. The independent movie theatre has been a popular haven among film enthusiasts for its varied film festivals and art-house fare. Said Mr. Nicholas Chee, Co-founder of Sinema, “The high foot traffic of the centrally-located GV Grand will make it more accessible for indie films lovers to catch Sinema’s programming. We hope to drive higher levels of awareness and patronage among the local movie watching community to the line-up of films we will be showcasing at the new location.

The joint collaboration is also a testament of the committed efforts by both Sinema and Golden Village towards promoting the local creative industry of film making. Both parties are known for their fervent support of the Singapore-produced films with Golden Village distributing most of the home-grown films such as Eric Khoo’s TATSUMI, Gilbert Chan’s 23:59, Jack Neo’s WE NOT NAUGHTY, Kelvin Tong’s IT’S A GREAT GREAT WORLD as well as Sinema’s founding of Sinema Old School as a platform for young and aspiring Singapore film makers to showcase their works.

Weekend Song: Freya 林凡 – 痛痒

歌词

First Half Second Half
别抱有太多幻想
别抱有太多欲望
让自己心情少了一些空欢笑
如果是真爱
更是值得商榷
那一定很理想
不要轻易的怀疑
不要轻易的放弃
你在我心里还存有的默契
我一度以为幻觉 才能如此的残忍
要重复多少要积累多少
才能像这样彼此的相遇
其实我知道纵然你离去
有一种经历这么死心又塌地
都在说爱爱爱会随着时间磨灭
把幸福变得绝望
但只有爱爱爱才能够让我温暖
我已经离不开你
可是这书上都说了爱是恒久忍耐
耗尽我所有却更加耐人寻味
让我变得更淡定
拼命的每次较量
换来的每次原谅
都会让自己变得有一点疯狂
如果是真爱就算忍让对方
还是两败俱伤
不要轻易的怀疑
不要轻易的放弃
你在我心里还存有的默契
我一度以为幻觉 才能如此的残忍
要重复多少
要积累多少
才能像这样彼此的相遇
其实我知道纵然你离去
有一种经历这么死心又塌地
都在说爱爱爱会随着时间磨灭
把幸福变得绝望
但只有爱爱爱才能够让我温暖
我已经离不开你
可是这书上都说了爱是恒久忍耐
耗尽我所有却更加耐人寻味
让我变得更淡定
都在说爱爱爱会随着时间磨灭
把幸福变得绝望
但只有爱爱爱才能够让我温暖
我已经离不开你
可是这书上都说了爱是恒久忍耐
耗尽我所有却更加耐人寻味
让我变得更淡定

This song is one of the tracks in her new album “爱情 很突然”.
