Flint Kenshu (10 Jan 2009)

Flint students from batch 1 to 5 gathered at Senja Soka Centre on 10 Jan for a reunion cum training through studying the HR and presenting a skit of it, learning from our seniors about the significance of a vow, and also dialogue with GD Ong and YMD&YWD Chiefs. The kenshu also saw the launch of the Flint Song "New Dawn". Check out the photos!

Vanessa explained how in the darkest days of her youth, she struggled with renewed determination to come about her own realisation.. and the lyrics of the song "New Dawn", title of which is inspired from the last chapter of the Human Revolution novel.

New Dawn (Flint Song)
=====================
There were times when I found myself,
Walking down this familiar path.
there were times when I found myself
Asking why some nights are so long and tough.

Life can make a sport of us
sometimes,
When we try so hard,
Yet reap no rewards.
Devilish functions on a roll;
Life condition taking its toll.

(Pre-chorus)
But just as we thought
Why do we always trip and fall;
Have we forgotten,
we've got the ultimate treasure of all?

(Chorus)
Like the crimson sun.
Emerging from the New Dawn;
Living the Mystic Law,
I'd remember my mentors call;
The darker the night,
the nearer the dawn.

In the crossroads we find ourselves,
Uncertain;
of what lies ahead.
Engulfed by emotions,
Overlooking the treasure in our hearts

Wasted time in blind pursuit,
Of what was deemed, significant
Fighting so hard for those relative-ness,
Neglecting my absolute happiness

(Repeat Pre-chorus 1x, Chorus 1x)

Let me renew my vow,
Sensei.
To be leader of this new dawn.
Like a flame alit in the dark
Let my spark fly.

(Repeat Pre-chorus 1x, Chorus 1x)

A New Dawn
Has Begun.
