First day of school after chinese new year holiday is vjc's cross country.. JC cross country feels very much different from secondary school cross country.. It just seemed like everyone in VJC is so fit and capable of running continuously for 3.3km as everyone speeds off at the sound of the beep. It's like a mad rush out of the school gate, over the bridge and along the stretch of road in east coast park that seems so familiar to all victorians. Of course there are exceptions of those who rather stroll all the way, being the non-competitve type. As much as i would like to join them, it is inevitable that us college reps have a certain target to meet, or at least for those under ms lim. i.e. top 150 positions. (sounds easy?..but not quite. it's especially hard for the guys who have maniac runners who are capable of record breaking.) Given such a target, we can call it self challenge to come in top 100 positions. (though ms lim thinks i could have been a cross runner and expects top 20?!)..
If i were back in the good old days when competition was less stiff, it would have been easy to clinch a medal . Sadly, the prize for top 20 was considered miserly in the past not at all comparable with all the nike and adidas sponsored things~ Positons 1-20 in the past were all medals, yet... in VJC the champion gets a medal, a gigantic trophy and many other nice stuff that allows us to look on with admiration. And then the lucky draw... Gosh how much we are vying for the female sports jacket sponsored by nike or adidas. Why can't they sponsor more of that instead of socks? -.- Not that my number would be called, but at least we get the adrenaline rush while anticipating the lucky draw number.
It's stressful because it feels different when everyone suddenly becomes competitive. We are all so used to the uncompetitive attitude displayed by the andersonians in the past (except for a few of course) that when victorians show enthusiasium in running, we fear. We fear to disappoint people and not meet our only designated targets. But if we do our best, then that's the furthest we can stretch ourselves i guess. Yet, it's even more pressurizing to see all the x people warming up on the tracks early in the morning when people are still half asleep. Heard from melissa that everyone from the cross country team has to report at 7am because the v strict mr tan wants them there. High expectation ya know?.. How can we be comparable -.-
Being our first year here, i had no idea that there wasn't going to be assembly and mass work-out as a school before flag off, as it was a norm at anderson to have warm up together. Therefore, before i knew it, everyone whizzed off without me having stretched. oh well.. we just know the consequences of that.. and therefore, after turning back right outside the school gate i had to stop -.- that's dumb i know but you can't move when your legs refuse to budge can you?..
Overall, i guess i should be satisfied with 52th place. At least i met my own target.

Hi all~
Valentine's day just past and chinese new year is here.. happy pig year to all readers~
It was quite interesting how i kept meeting my mortal after school last tuesday.. Mega, amanda and i were at parkway, for an obvious reason. And so, we went to the supermarket first in search of plastic bags which i wanted.. But they din't sell any of that kind. And mega ended up buying her "breads" there. -.- Then we went to minitoons.. then we were happily looking for stuff when mega went " hey our senior class!" So obviously we responded and turned. wow. and then we saw xl, timo and one other guy whose name i dunno. And it was quite paiseh to see your mortal at the same place. Somemore timo realise i was his angel already.. =/ lolx.. So the three of us tried to hide ourselves, but apparently they already noticed us. And amanda claimed they were tiptoeing and peeking over the shelves looking for us. hahas.. But anyway, we hurried out of the shop and headed for the next destination -popular bookstore. Amanda wanted to get chalk, so we went to a popular quite a distance away from parkway parade.. We were once again trying to look for the relevant stuff when the three of them appeared once again. -.- How coincidental. lolx.. but it's wierd shopping for presents at popular -.-
Anyway.. valentine's day just makes me feel very sweet.. like countless of candies filling up my shoebag just after i empty it for the rest.. Moreover, it's near chinese new year where we will eat goodies once again. Extreme fattening, especially so when we have our x-country coming up right after chinese new year holiday. Which reminds me of how i should be all stressed up. =X
Chinese new year celebration at VJC is at least a million times more exciting than that at AND. Which reminds me, someone said she don' t think going back to AND to catch their concert is worth it -.- The concert at VJC is lame, crappy and worth watching la. It does live up to its name of being entertaining throughout the years i think. The celebration ended with mass dance and school cheers which once again makes me proud to be a victorian. =D
~hah.. meanwhile yunyuan is so amused that i live at sengkang just four levels below her grandma. how cute..
Oh yeah.. and happy belated birthday to ruth..
and an early birthday to joan and junjie~!
have fun collecting hongbaos everyone.! and eating chicken too.! lolx.

Like everyone is saying, anderson has done exceptionally well this year. Mrs Poh could be seen grinning from ear to ear, a smile was plastered on mdm chan's face and the most memorable thing is mdm chan praised our class for the first time. Anderson attained an overall msg of 10.06 rounded off to 10.1 which was the best results in the past 8 years.. This got us a place in the band one group which should be celebratory. Two top scorers of the nation are produced from Anderson with 9a1s, that is our dear weilun and caisang. Reporters from today newspaper stream down to the hall and interviewed some of our high flyers while others tried to sneak a shot of themselves in the background of the picture. Overall, the atmosphere was high as excited teens hugged their peers with overwhelming emotions, some totally taken aback by their unexpectedly good results while others sob in disappointment.
Settling down in rows of our classes of year 2006, everyone waits intently for the releasal of the results. As Mrs Poh shows slides of the tabulated msg for individual subjects, the shouts and screams of joy were evident as secretly each individual seated in the hall hoped that they had contributed to the number of distinctions chalked up.
Higher chinese msg flashed past. *gasps 3._ looks bad..
Then finally came the time everyone were waiting for. "we will hand over to your form teachers now..." And then came all the anxiety and worries with each smile and frown appearing on the faces of peers..
Some people who were so tough also succumbed to their sadness.. naomi was so frightened by
ms goh that she burst into tears. according to sokmui, it's because she got a B. oh well. ultimately it's the finally results that counts.
From yesterday, i learnt that results are just so unpredictable. Who would have thought that the very smart people would end up crying?.. who would have thought the very slack people can end up laughing?.. the nice people in 07s56 gets 10 and the lousy people gets to stay through dsa. haiz. thats just life. unpredictablity.. which is why we take literature.
And this is post- results feelings..
was fighting away the melancholy feelings the whole of today.. not getting anything accomplished besides wasting away by the computer.. seeing familiar people signing in and out, happy people, sad people.. like a broadcaster of who did well and who dint. It's ironic that i'm feeling like that given my results unless i arent happy i din't get 6. but of course it's far from that. talking to people makes me happier which explains why i'm camping here. All those nicks with "anderson" and expressions of attachment.. and i question myself.. do i feel attached?
with all effort and will, this is the last chance to convince people to join vjc. i only hope to see more familiar faces around in school cause it's going to be a big change for me if you leave.

hmm.. let's see.. What happened this week? Time flies.. Soon results will be out, and there will be a big change to the environment again. Considering the fact that people will be leaving and coming, there's a need to resocialise.. But it beats leaving VJC of course. It'll be extremely saddening whether it's yourself having to leave or seeing friends leave. That's what the IP and DSA people are worrying for most.. SEeing their newly forged friendships break in less than a month.
Most are getting settled in their JCs.. and it seems like those who were so adamant in getting into VJC during PAE are also quite bent on staying on in their current JCs. Which is quite ironic, cconsidering the fact that they were singing praises of VJC all along. Oh well, that's just shows people's preference changes.
last weekend was our jts chalet.. It was the most expensive chalet we juniors ever paid for. (i suppose) .. It wasn't such a bad idea though.. As it really got us to socialise with the seniors, who turned out to be much nicer than i expected. I thought it would be rather awkward to go to a chalet and stay with a bunch of people whom you know nothing about besides the fact that they are your seniors.. But, we had fun together eventually..
Thanks to Doreen and her slowness we got there quite late. Heard of what they did on friday night.. They played circle of trust and wow.. VJ people arent quite pure ya know. We met Chang Sheng at White Sands cold storage and we dumped him with the watermelons while we went to grab other stuff.. Apparently he was asked to choose a nice watermelon by doreen. (ps. they are on quite itimately close terms) THat why i was feeling quite bright. BUt doreen insisted on my presence.. so what to do? poor me Weirui sure knew how i felt since the 1st question she asked when she saw me at the chalet was " WAh just now you must be feeling very bright hor?" And no doubt . yes it was.
There was mahjong and PlayStation which the senior guys got so addicted to.. and then we had our barbecue. The food was quite nice, and too much in quantity. -.- But at least everyone was satisfied- which was the main point. I was actually talking to my angel all along yet i din't realise. -.- Until now, then i know. And so the seniors and juniors just sat around the pit area and socialised. People started to leave.. Surprisingly all the senior girls couldn't stay over (such protective parents.. tsK) and also some guys including my mortal left.
The organisers prepared games which were left unplayed. (due to time constrain and a very slow doreen). I shalln't elaborate.. but i was made to do a stupid dare because i lost the name calling game that badminton people love to play.. i had to call one of their friends and tell him a stupid love poem (which they made up) and ask the guy to be my valentine (which is so not me -.-) It was dumb seriously.. but i had to be a gd sport lah. And so.. the guy on the other line was stun.
Then Junhao had to do a dare too, because they sabotaged him during indian poker. SO he had to call this ex-VJ teacher (who was known to be gay) and ask him out. He is called dominic by the way.. ANd the conversation went.. (by the way they don know each other..)
JH: hello.. dominic ah?
D: yes?
JH: er.. are you free tonight? are you out with your boyfriend?
D: eh no... i happen to be watching a play at esplanade tonight.. But if you want to meet we can meet up tomorrow..
JH: Oh ok.. we shall see..
JH: you make me feel HOT *makes sizzling sound* (this is part of script)
D: sorry can you say it again? (LOL. cant wait to hear it again?)
JH: you make me feel HOT *makes sizzling sound*
D: how do i know you?
JH: we met at a party last year (which was false of course)
D: i see.. nice to hear from you..
And.. Hari had to do push-ups on Yongwen.. who was asleep.. but we were so noisy that he woke up.. in fact everyone in the room who were slping woke up except the drunk Ah Bu. And then Yong wen was "freaked out" lah. ok not really but he was like what the hell.. which was ridiculously funny 'cause Hari told him to relax and just stay still. -.- like he wouldn hurt him or something. -.-
hmm.. that shall be all that i would say about the chalet..
Then on tuesday we pon lessons for the first time to support the B girls who were having their crucial match against marsiling that afternoon.. We left at 12. 45pm and good gracious we arrived at 2 plus. -.- wad a long ride it was really.. But at least they won la.. and so it's time to catch up with the econs lecture that i missed. -.- thankfully mr wong din't realise my disappearence during physics tutorial too.. The next most probable match that i want to see is that against sengkang i guess. Please not have it at some wierd places again.
