The Power of Dreams Connect Us - Onward 2009!

Reflections of our day, in fair judgement where we lay our scene, for as one we rise, as one we fall. As time flies so will the experiences pour.

Another year has passed, with the tales of time and truth of labor emerging from the pits of our honor. Breaths taken and huffs drawn, thoughts captured and griefs mourn; as will time test our fate, so will we experience.

Everything has a beginning: the sweetest of fruits were once dull flowers, the tallest of trees were once seeds, the might of man was once the desires of our precursors. Such as these were the beginnings of a lifetime bondage, the class which we belong. The greatest of a people body were once shy individuals, different in each way. Differences as repellant as a magnet were soon to be neutralized and new associations of our time were soon to be born.

Sweat toiled and blood boiled, teamwork, one for a day so full. Last year, the class of 2B raised $1400 for the goodwill of the Victoria Edge Fund.

This year has been both sweet and sour in many ways. Good things have come to us, witnesses of true glory, honor and respect, the great barrier of not sticking as one crumble, the true fruits born from hard labor, the pride we have asserted around those who love us dear. Unfortunate things have also befallen, the departure of many great mentors, friends and guides, of whom I shall not mention because of the limits of our humility; and even times where we thought we couldn’t, when of true fact that was, we could. A dying friendship and spirit, overcome because a friendship could never be dead, as it was said, To himself every man is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know he is dead.

This year would also not have been such of a note without the support and endeavors of our dear teachers, all of whom we might have taken granted for. I believe that they are truly ‘teachers’ in their own ways, strict or lenient, mean or kind, resourceful or creative; as a teacher has never really taught until the student has learned.

Right now as I speak, new planets and stellar systems have been discovered, new mountains scaled, new bridges built and new friendships formed. As will these continue, so will the bounds of our bonds be strengthened, that for we were one yesterday, so shall be today, same will be of tomorrow, until death take us away, and life bring us part.

That we might remember so dear, the morales, lessons and thoughts we gathered individually, whether good or bad; friendships forged and nemesis forgotten, good times passed and bad times forsaken, that this word, Memory, shall live up to its name, and serve us a good purpose in collecting the dust we leave behind.

It will be of this moment that we will officially separate, emotionally, physically and mentally, that we each have dreams to fulfill at our own pace, places of higher levels we have to reach. To all those who shall be going off as one together, I wish you good acquaintances; to all those who shall walk independently, I wish you good strength. Still be, the power of dreams shall connect us, each and one, all and all.

That time is, indeed like a friend and an enemy, a strength, then a weakness. While we live in the realms of time, time rules the limits we might have tried to overcome once, and that time judges the finite pleasures we have so dearly sought. Time has bounded us for two good years, as it will now, separate us physically, for eternity in the worst cases.

The power of dreams shall still connect us, though not physically, whether we will meet again someday, someway; or whether we exist in the deepest thoughts and dreams of one another - connected in every single way, and that no person, spirit, realm or time can pilfer from the depths of our heart. Destiny and fate within shall deem.

Down the road might we question the purpose of our separation, why destiny made us to be so.

That as we have always pronounced in every way close to our hearts, Once a Victorian, Always a Victorian, shall we also proclaim the everlastingness of our friendship and the infinite heights and depths of its spirit.

This day, physically apart as we are in every right of the realms of our own existence, spirit be together, as one, to infinity, and beyond.

Class Gathering

eh, will readers give suggestions so that justin can decide. we want to hear from u and let u choose the destination and activities so that u will not whine, moan or bitch when we make a decision that is not to your liking.

And now a message from our President... (CLEAN)

Err... Dwayne here (K.J. or Gem... like W.J. calls me). Justin has given me access to this blog and has pleaded, begged and persuaded* me to ask if anyone out there still wants another class gathering. If not, then OK lor. But if want please write on the blog so Justin, that !@#$%^, can take note as he will prepare†. We hope that there are sufficient numbers and not just four pathetic people** going (like the last time). Thank you and goodbye. Z.Y., that @!% maniac suggested going to The Cage, for less sporty nerds... no offense... C'mon...we can go for a movie or bowling instead. On the other hand, Justin has emphasized... NO BBQ!!!!

* Phrase has been presented in exaggeration to create thoughts and to spread propaganda.
** Adjective used (pathetic) refers to the situation of the subject (amount of attendees) rather than an adjective to describe the people themselves.
† Verb has been introduced to increase morale and temporarily lighten burden.

So what's next?

I just returned from Ice Skating at Kallang Leisure Park. It is a nice place altogether, cool and slippery. Perhaps we could do that sometime? Besides, there were so many student groups there 'chilling' out like what we do. The admission fee is just $13.00 add rentals and stuff, later, for 2 hours. If they can why not we? It will be fun besides all the blisters you get if you don't wear high socks. Take note, Chia!

Anyway Zhi Yuan has gone on his knees to beg me to tell you that he has cordially invited all to his helicopter-house to do some ball kicking. I mean he suggested street soccer: what do you think? A movie then street soccer? That would be... 'fun'...

Dwayne (Kheng Jing, in case you did not know) says that we should do something special for the last time: we might not have any more chances to next year. Indeed, the IP people are going to be kept busy and Secondary 3 CCAs are going to be all important with leadership positions, roles and general attendance expectations so the chances of us even seeing or hearing each other is low (unless of course you remain in VS or return to VS for fun) A couple of Red Shirts from our class right?

The thing I worry about now if the response! Would you want to do it again and again?

Holidays are here and like almost all of us are/have leaving/left the country in one way or another. Hope you have great fun!

The Tag Board is there, ok? For goodness sake post something. Priority: Suggestions, what's next?
