This is my first post here. Pardon my random thoughts and bad english. It’s totally my style, my class knows it. LOL.

I am going to add on to the previous post. I have helped out for both thursday and friday for Apollo’s and Athena’s graduation day. Looking at the seniors, I was just wondering how time flies and it will soon be the current J1s’ turn. (OKAY, provided we get promoted.) It seems like we were having orientation yesterday.

I must say athena’s one was really inspiring and reflective. especially Huiping’s and Guojie’s speech. It was not only funny and interesting. When I was listening to them, I believed that the J2s will nod in agreement and the J1s will be inspired.

I can imagine how we will feel next year when we look at our photo montages. (I must say some of the montages of athena classes were professionally done this year. They were super good.)

Going back to the speech by the senior fac heads, Huiping said something that made me want to blog about it. It goes something like this: “at the end of the day, it’s not the fac points that matter most to us”. It made me feel even more that Athena’s is a very special faculty. It’s not that we never won fac shield that makes us special.

We have nothing to lose. EVERY YEAR. I think that is why we can enjoy every single school event. Fac points is really nothing to us.

I really enjoyed FOS and I will smile to myself everytime I looked back at it. I believe it’s the same for my class. We have no strong teams. We just tried our best and had alot of fun. I have more people to play volleyball with me in the future.

Looking at the J2 graduation this year, I strongly feel the bonds and memories of this faculty. It’s different. I am not sure in which aspect…

I guess for every batch, our memories will not be winning the fac shield, but just purely spending time with each other. Look back, laugh and cherish.

The year wasn’t smooth, I guess everyone was trying to get use to JC, but I am very glad that I have friends around me.

I am starting to love my class and the faculty even more. Let’s make the rest of our journey as Athenians a memorable one. (:

Winning is a bonus, but having fun is a must.

Anw, I think we have very nice seniors, remember to wish them all the best for their upcoming A levels.

Last but not least, look out for the upcoming faculty outing. (:

With love,
JY (AIC)

the ones who receive the trophy might be showered with fame and glory.


but the ones who don’t learnt a valuable lesson.

Hey Athenians,
it was a shock to us as much as it was for you. But, let’s hold back all our negative thoughts, curses and swears, and think about the future. Simply put, the future lies in your hands.
The 2008 faculty shield, don’t worry about it. Let’s contemplate instead.
“We are very sweh,
we’ll try again, another day”
