Feels like I just left.
That sense of nostalgia hit me as I was walking up the hill towards ahs. I was thinking how I used to take this very same path, just that in the opposite direction, with my "home" gang - Ehren, Ivan, Pohchun, Leon, Juncheng and some other guys. We took that path way before the government decide to build a concrete pathway. We took that path way before there were any condos built next to it. I remember how we had to check our soles to see if we stepped on any dog shit, and how we'll scare each other by insisting that the mud on our soles is dog shit, lol. Childish, but those were the days.
And then a greater sense of nostalgia came when the security guard uncle waved to me from afar. Still can't believe that he recognises me! I graduated in 2008, and it's already 2012! Feels like nothing has changed.
People come and go, juniors become seniors, and then seniors become alumni. Young alumni becomes old alumni, and some just vanish( I mean, we don't see them coming back anymore.) I didn't know 90% of those people in the bandroom when I stepped in today, (At least I stepped out knowing more people, not forgetting to credit facebook.) but the room is still pretty much the same. That Ikea cupboard that fiona and I assembled still stands there, that "祖先" photo is still on the wall, files filled with old scores with our names written on it are still lying all around. That xylophone with splinters still sound as bright, and that gong, despite having dropped X times, still sound.. gong-ish (lol.)
We were once like that. While we were slugging our guts out practising (complaining at the same time), we were still happy. There's not one day where we didn't laugh enough; we laughed too much, lol.
AHS is still my second home, and AHBand is like my second family. It does have the structure of a real family anyway. People come and go, just like in a family, just like in a band.
I worry on days like this. 我是不是还没走出去？
