life in VJC
-wayne teo

For me, being educated for the past 10 years of my life in a single sex school, i have not been exposed to the opposite sex in a school environment. i met my fair share of boys who are just like girls but hey man they lack certain features a girl possesses.i first entered VJ with lucas guo who has been my loyal faithful travel companion up till now. whether rain or shine, 1 umbrella or no umbrella, car or no car, we boarded the same bus to school for much of my jc time. i had the false impression at that time that brown hair was the ulimate source of envy amongst my friends and the long fringe with sloped sides and back was the best hairsyle to have. i entered VJ not knowiung there existed food for eyes in the form of eye candy. i remembered having one the second day of orientation.

New things aside, i got a smashing OG where i got acquainted with chunhanzhihansheenashannonthomasjiamingswanyeevanessadianeshiyingjingtongtedriddominic and till today a core group of us are still meeting up constantly and i still am in active contact with them.i regret the fact that the rest of the OG which we sort of broke away from. I had a crazy wonderful/caring OGL which resembled my cousin so much that i felt attached to her from the first day like a big sis i could always confide to. i had another OGL which was super motherly and had a young ip kid who stunned us with her revealation that she was younger than us. We had a fair share of lame and funny moments with the occasional knn from jiaming.shannon will always say somethign funny to make us laugh. chun han will give us his insight on life as a victorian along with the many deep stuff he says. sheena will act deh and give the dam pissed face we grow accustomed to. thomas will say something once in a while to make us laugh. zhi han will always suggest the next hangout place and organise everything. It seemed like life in college could go no wrong.

Brought back to reality by day 5 of school. We had our first lessons. I met the class for the first time a few days prior to that. I will never forget the guy i deemed a retard SIMHARNGYI who went about asking everyone whether they played dota who today is one darn good friend of mine in VJ. Neither will i forget the extraordinary high proportion of non chinese in the class. But hey singapore is multiracial isin it. Met a form tutor who seemed to fit the bill as the usual physics teacher but to me was a good and real nice teacher nevertheless. A day passes and I am met with the sudden switch of 1 boy for 3 girls in the class. It is somethign that could not be explained by the theory of comparitive advantage but it was early christmas for the guys in the class. This caused the equlibrium to shift to the female side and suddenly the class seemed better. Lessons was pretty okay and i ponned my first lecture on the 3rd econs lecture i had. I formed an awesome cool bimbo clan consisting of hq xh serene marcus and myself. I played angel and mortal and got deceived by the angel i thought was a girl for the best part of 2 months. I applied for a scholarship and got it. i applied for another and screwed up the interview. you take some you lose some was what i thought.

Then as time passed, OGs seems a distant memory for some, not for mine. we had the OG table we sustained for an entire year though admittedly i was starting to be more attached to the class. random outings i called for often ended in much laughs and it seemed like we were lifelong friends. deja vu for some who felt the same way about their OG. we had an awesome slv where i played the role of the proud founder of singapore. standing still and looking cool is something i pride myself in. however fate was cruel as with the o level results, we lost 3 classmates but we gained 2. we welcomed an additional indian to the family to further increase the proportion of non chinese but hey thats secondary of course but we also lost an indian which i enjoyed talking to. though i have lost contact with you aruna i want you to know you were defnintely one of the people i could click with. siewhui and saranya came in with yuling aruna and freddie leaving and that was the new class we had to be accustomed to.

the class rocked in the sense that we had the most wide range of personalities in my opinion. we had the cool dudes like joe who emitted that coolness. dudes like kian mao who could make any lame thing darn funny. guys like daryl and freddie who had bodies toned and ready to charm the girls. people like ben kang who never looked like he existed in the first 3 months but turned out well once you got to know him. jermyn and sk who were the closest gays you can find in a mixed school until hl mama came along and charmed sk away with her sweet love. xh was the best bro to all the guys. dhilshad would inspire people with her leadership. we eagerly await the next bimbotic moment of marianne chin as much as we awaited the next rare bimbotic moment of jomaine i call my taima. marcus ong who was my emo pal. harng yi the random dude who will blog the most entertaining stuff on the class blog. hq and sh who would be found talking about britney spears 56th child with her 47th boyfriend. serene who will be the most jidong girl in the class. the indian who will go on to go through most shit with me and being there for me.liyin who will compete with me for the most lame joke with her great sporting ability to go with it. abishek will amaze me with his beatboxing for the first 30 sec before i found it annoying.LOL(jk dude u are pretty good) peiting who i saw as often in school as i missed school. xiaoqin the econs rep which i tend to pay overdue debts to. saranya who will amaze me with her great insight on harry potter despite never reading the book before. and there was iris who i never got to know well but i still know was a nice girl.

so yes life in VJ was indeed cool for the best part of 3 months. I even had my first real crush during this time...
