VJC.VS.Life

Was taking a break from studying just a while ago, so I decided to listen to my MP3 collection else they suffer from data rot for not being accessed in such a long time.

Guess what came out first?

I Want You by Savage Garden. (For those unaquainted, its a freaking cool song that’s used for a freaking cool mass dance in VJ).

And so in typical iceburg-hits-the-titanic style, all hell (heaven in this case) breaks loose. Never thought I’d say this but DAMN I miss VJ. Just that song alone is enough to bring back memories of the hall, which reminds me of badminton trainings there.

Which in turn reminds me of VS Badminton, which in turn reminds me of VS PB/CIC/LTC, which in turn reminds me of the teachers whom I’ve come into contact with, which in turn reminds me of my friends which in turn reminds me of all the wonderful memories I’ve shared with them.

Sigh, I’d better get back to studying before I get caught in an endless loop.

Crossroads of life, looking back at VJ..

by Jonathan in VJC on Friday May 13, 2005 at 2219hours

Apologies for the extreme lack of updates. I’ve been busy lately, but essentially didn’t have the mood to blog. Last few weeks have been very slack, with me skipping Tutorials and only going for Econs and Computing. Now I don’t have to skip them anymore.

Yup. I’ve withdrawn from VJC. Sigh.

I guess what Farand said about us getting too attached to things we partake in is true. And also since I’ve made some new friends that I will miss.

The highlight of the day would have to be when the girls in S64 bid me a final farewell before they left for Econs Tutorial. Was really touched. Thanks guys (ok, so its technically girls but I’m too used to using ‘guys’), really appreciate it.

Oh, and not sure if this is a good place to put this but I got a really nice, warm and sincere smile from Tricia (from my (now ex) class). Now I know what people mean when they say that a smile can light up the darkest of nights and the gloomiest of days..

Headed back down to VS after that for Head Prefect Elections Briefing, but I think I’ll save that for tomorrow.

To all whom gave me their well wishes and goodbyes, Thank you!

To the VS class mates/camp mates/school mates in VJ now, sorry for not continuing in VJ with you guys. Keep in touch ya?

To the wonderful friends I’ve made over the course of badminton trainings, its been a pleasure training with you, keep the team alive!

And last but not least to 05S64, Its been one special and wonderful experience with you guys (and girls). Between the lame jokes, comic moments, desperation and despair over tutors and the stress of life in VJ, its truly been one hell of a journey, surely one in which I will never forget. Many thanks for making my short stay in VJ so much more happening. You ppl rock!

Dead Blog again

by Jonathan in VJC on Wednesday April 20, 2005 at 2047hours

Ok, theres no excuse for not blogging for so long, just havn’t been up to it.

Nothing much significant the past weeks, still feel pretty distant from my class (S64) but thankfully there are VS ppl there so I don’t feel like a rat in an owl cage..

Computing is getting more challanging. Thats a good sign, but its getting very irritating, mostly because C++ is not as flexible as Perl or PHP like i’m used to.

Just had my NAFTA today, did OK, but very pissed with my badminton teacher. He seemed adament to keep me from getting a higher grade. He changed my situps from 46 to 44. SBJ from 249 to 244 and sit and reach from 48 to 45. I could curse him all day, but frankly, he’s not worth it..

Skipped Maths Make-up Lecture to attend the NAFTA, I think i’m so gonna get screwed by the teachers. Went down (home) to VS with Chun Han. Was mentoring (more like teaching actually) my mantee, helping him with physics.

So continues my boring, mundane and routine life.

Caught in the middle.. (Again)

by Jonathan in VJC on Tuesday April 12, 2005 at 1918hours

Just came to realise that there will be quite a few things I’ll miss if I leave VJ. Many things actually.

Still awaiting appeal results..

Damn…

Holding back

by Jonathan in VJC on Wednesday April 6, 2005 at 2042hours

My appeal (to Poly) will only be known come end of the month. So that means more time in VJ for me till I know if I’m staying or going..

That in itself is a wonderful thing. The culture is warm, the environment condusive, and its basically a nice place to be in. But for me, at the current moment in time, its not. Thanks to the late appeal results, I have no idea if I’ll be accepted or not.

That means lessons as usual, but I can not, no, I WILL not commit to any exco postitions / project groups / CCAs (like ODAC sadly). I really don’t want to caus any problems or reshuffling if I do go Poly. Its just not fair to the friends i’ve made and esp those I know.

So I find myself back to the days of dilemmas and conflicting thoughts.

But all other things aside, its truly a blessing to be in VJ.
