Where once were swamps, Tsuen Wan has now arisen,
Here is our school, and large our spirit grows,
These walls do not our hearts or minds imprison
Because our school (as even the youngest knows)
Transcends its bounds with every youthful vision,
and we are free; Our guide, Integritas

Pine, Plum, Bamboo and Camphor don't divide us,
We all are one; together on our way,
With Scout and Guide and Monitor beside us,
And Prefect too, our School we'll not betray.
In work and play, at school, at home, and always,
In all we do, we'll seek Integritas......

十年沒唱這首歌了,想不到我還記得歌詞。

參加了母校四十五週年晚宴。當全場站立合唱這歌的時候,跟著唱,但唱不了兩句,我毛管都戙了,臉上有起雞皮的感覺,我幾乎出不了聲。真的,未試過有這種感覺。強忍著,好用力把歌唱完。

那年是中一,我每天上學都是戰戰兢兢的。音樂堂唱的第一首歌便是這歌。我還記得教我們唱這首歌的音樂老師,她教我們那些英文歌詞的發音,一字一句的教,還要我們把歌詞背熟。已經不能再見到她了,但我想她在遠方一定很快樂。

阿sir老了;miss卻十年如一日,真要請教養顏之道。
師妹靚了;師弟卻老成了;而我們這班仍然好無聊,好傻,好癲......

相隔十年,還記得歌詞,我想,這輩子都不會把它忘記。

You remember the last time we sang it in school, the lyrics was:

1A1B1C1D and 1E
2A2B2C2D2E
3A3B3C3D and 3E
4A4B4C4D4E
5A5B5C5D and 5E
6A6B7A7S

and we hold up the class sign when the class name is sung.. they were supposed to be used for fire alarm practice... The SA ppl were afraid our principle would get mad back then, turned out he praised us for the creativity :) Who did you meet?
Any photos?

You writing up the lyrics make me feel it's familiar, but I'm not sure I can remember it all... I can imagine the atmosphere though. Our beloved TWGSS... my happiest days in my life with my lifelong friends...
