this has to go into the record books of quotes. quote of the year! make that century!
''the girls will give our campus an added touch of class. i expect we'll be applying our gentlmanly skills very often.''
- ACS(I) secondary 4 student matthew lee, 18 [er, why is he 18?]
oh and another thing,
'' and - unlike Victoria School - there were no fervent protests from former students''
man, we had sec4 students coming down at 9pm, to paste banners on the victoria spirit wall when word of co-ed first took off. its because of these things, that i love victoria. the stark contrast of reactions, reflects what we're made of.

Victorian Culture - The Victorian Spirit (exurb taken from wikipedia.com)
Victoria School prides itself on its strong esprit de corps. Students, old boys and staff alike will start cheering for the school during sporting events, as well as other important events. This strong spirit is indeed one of the key trademarks of Victoria School which distinguishes VS from other schools at these events.
VS never fails to be one of the largest and most colourful contingent in sporting events such as the National Championships. Like in previous years, nearly the whole student population which amounted to more than 1000 students (who fondly call themselves Victorians) made their way down to Turf City to support their school Cross-Country team which put up a good show that day and swiped the championship titles clean in the 2005 Annual National Cross-Country Championships meet. This perfectly exemplifies the kind of bonds the students in VS share, and how the institution emulates its core values such as Tradition - an institutional core value which they strongly hold on to in light of their long history as one of Singapore's oldest educational institutions.
VS students clearly have a distinctively strong sense of pride for their institution, and more often than not ends such big events with the famous school spelling cheer and singing the school song (known as the Victorian Anthem amongst the student populace).

i really hope i can kick this illness off by tmr. i don't want to go into the chem practical exams having a aches everywhere. must have been the curry fishhead thing, causing this piercing pain in my stomach. i should swear of chilli and all that spicy stuff, until after the O's. the headache is also affecting my mood.
watched momento ytd, the show that my brother recommended me. really good, intriguing plot. it is about this guy who lost his ability to make new memories after the incident where his wife got shot and he got slammed in the head. he would forget everything that happened every few moments. and with such a handicap, he goes about finding the guy responsible, and seeking revenge.
in the end, even after killing the person responsible, he deceives his ownself by burning evidence that he had finished the job. and goes on to find even more ppl to kill, just to give himself purpose for his life continuation.

tmr's graduation. the final moments of our time in victoria school. i look forward to tmr, yet with reluctance of some sort. i fear it'd be too painful, too piercing to leave; to leave my alma mater. i have to admit, Victoria is something more. friends u can find anywhere, good results can be achieved anywhere, good character can be honed anywhere. but only in victora can u get all that with the
Victoria Spirit. it gels us together in one resounding voice - one so formidable.
where else can u get all that. where else. i love our anthem. i love its so much. i love our cheers. i love them too much. i think all of these, and it makes me want to enjoy it another 2 years at vj. people in other schools will never understand -
victoria is something more, indeed.
yet it'll be our final moments in victoria school, but far from the lasts as victorians, for we continue to carry her on our backs, emblazoned in bold black.

i just whiled 2 hours of my time on the internet, when i originally told myself that i would study at least half of my bio tonight.
its weird how major examinations can instil apprehension in students. yet, now that it is a week to the practicals, i don't feel particularly anxious or sorts. maybe i'm simply numb now. i'm glad that i've made the decision to do my devotions before i begin my study, and not leave Him at the bottom of my 'to-do' list. it feels tons better. keeps my perspective right, allowing me to take on the worldly issues with the viewpoint of God in mind.
but sometimes, or rather very often, i act too fast, without fully ruminating how God would want me to react. i need to slow down, being too quick serves no good.
its 1030, guess its how i make use of the remaining time, that really matters.

i need to put my perspective right and devote more time to God before your studies! i need to prioritize Him first, instead of leaving him for last, completely covered under the depths of the innumerable mesh of work, play and everything else.

hmm.. i feel like i'm slackening after the prelims. though i look back and realise, i actually did a couple of papers, like 10 odd. maybe its because i sit infront of dear joel, who is apparently 'made to mug'. he has all the requirments to be a Class A mugger, and all the signs as well. what with that grossly bent middle finger from all that writing, and the fact that u won't find him 2metres away from his books at any point of the day. yes, that's how scary he is. but nah, i won't want to be like that.
i'm playing more dota than ever. actually i've been playing dota during the prelims as well. but ya, i think i clocked 24 hours of dota this week, maybe more not sure. i find myself coming back and sleeping, dota'ing or simple wilding my time away the way i do it best.
i think i'm a damn bad person. i keep suaning people. i should stop.
oh, its linette's birthday tmr. so ya, happy birthday.
i pity michelle, whose having to endure the weird studying technique of her sister - gesturing about and rambling incessantly. the way that draws peculiar resemblance to (insert weird character).
