Victoria School Concert Band had garnered Gold in the recent SYF Competition of Concert Band and performed in several occasions. Under the baton of Mr Tan Beng Wee, the band will wow you down with its various pieces and numbers that may sound intimidating to the ears of other musicians.

Pieces Most Probably Playing:
Inn of Sixth Happiness - A long touching piece played for SYF
Merry Widow - Another SYF piece that exposes the band to different tempo and feel
Symphonic Movement - Our SYF piece that will bring shivers
American Graffiti XVI Oldies - Old tunes that will bring you back to the oldies

The Alumni Band will also be there with its dedicated past batches of Victorians. Despite their busy schedules, they had made time to perform in the concert.

Come along and be a part of this concert. For Victorians, please support the Band and the School by attending this event. Your support will be great to continue our pursuit for the excellence of Music Performance.

2D

Calling all idiots and freaks from 2D!

To those that want to contribute to this dead excuse of a blog, and to keep the fun times of 2D in our memories, whoever that has pictures or anything 2D-related to submit, be it some pictures, videos, anything at all to submit to the blog! You can create your own stuff, submit pictures taken of the class, videos, whatever crap that you can think of to stick on this blog of doom.

We shall conveniently forget all the evil and bad times in 2D in a neccessary bout of extreme self denial, counselling and brainwashing, and the occasional roof to hop around like a complete retard until you drop down and go "WHEEEEE" and lets not talk about that anymore. Its that depressing.

Anyway, in related news, I'll be posting up pictures and videos of the chalet Isaac organized that some of us idiots went to. That is, after I accumulate all the chalet pictures/videos and stuff I can garner from everyone that went to the chalet and took pictures or anything.

Anyway, to contribute to anything mentioned above e-mail me at:
Arthas94@gmail.com

Boredom does this to people. :p

SANA

Tomorrow at 10am whoever that is NOT going for SANA course - those that went for the stupid Civil Defence course - please meet at the NCC Land Room in PT KIT for a short training and a survey. - Bring a pen or something.

The stuff above is probably only for Husain if I remember correctly.

For those who ARE going for SANA course - Clive, Adeeb, and me. Tze Yang claims he's in Penang and would only be back on Saturday so screw that. Tomorrow at 8am sharp report to Sengkang MRT station in full No.4 uniform and bring your berets. SANA would be held at Sengkang Community Center, #05-01.

Please remember to be early, and don't forget your bloody gutters. Though I doubt anyone coming from home would forget their gutters, but shit happens. I don't know if you have to bring your badges or not, so just bring them just in case I guess. Seriously doubt so though.

Time of dismissal is unsure, and we'll most likely be released from there. More information SHOULD be able to be obtained from the VS NCC Land forum.

Heehee.

Last Day

Today was the last time we will all be together, as a class.

Time has passed by ever so slowly. But now it seems like it is passing ever too fast. Our paths have converged for two whole years. Yet it is time for us to part. We have to follow our own paths now onwards. Sure, some of us would stay in the same class, same friends. But then others would take different paths, go into different subject combinations, different classes.

I hope that all of us would have a nice and relaxing end of year holiday coming ahead of us. I also hope that most, if not all of us, will get into the subject combination of our choice, and are eligible for them. Next year we will all be in Secondary 3, donning long pants and burning – I mean disposing of – our khaki shorts. We will be more mature – hopefully – and most of us would be taking up CCA positions.

We will be making new friends, taking up new challenges, new homework, new exams, and new teachers – well mostly – but we also would be keeping in touch with old friends, be it in other classes or in the same class, hopefully.

In other related news, this class blog has been dead for so long, it is not even worth mentioning at all. Next year, the more we would not require this. Suggestion? We use this blog as an AEP blog for all of us AEP people next year, and possibly for Secondary 4 as well. We will also probably reuse this blog for any 2D events that might crop up during the next two years.

This blog shall be updated for any class events this year, and next year it will be converted to the AEP blog with 2D outing updates or whatnot.

Hope we all have a good time ahead, and get into the classes we desire.

Have a happy holidays.
Goodbye to all.
Hope to see you all again.

Next year. :D

PS: Don't forget your subject combination selection tomorrow, and that will end on the 31st of October 2008, 9am The system will be locked, no further changes will be entertained after this date.

Exams Over

Congratulations, fellow 2Dians. Your exams is over.

I am sure each of you individuals had done what you knew and is acknowledged of what you will deserve later. So, I shall not elaborate further.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank every teacher that had led us through our misunderstandings and corrected our doubts and mistakes. It is entirely true that the job of the teacher is the most noble! Guiding the students to the right path. Only He will reward such gracious act!

Also to all my classmates who made this two years in VS the most memorable. In just a few weeks, we are heading to different classes, with different mindsets, with different opportunities and different capabilities. Hope every single one of you people still stay in contact no matter how far we are, including different schools. Remember that the two years in Khaki shorts is that which entitles you to two years in long pants in VS.

With that, I end here.

AEP Reminder

Monday is the AEP SA2 Drawing and Painting exam.

To all AEP people prepare all your sketches, your development, your ideas - your exploration of ideas. Also remember to do some research that might help with your sketches and stuff. You are allowed to use up to 5 pieces of A3 paper for you to do your sketches or whatever. Stick pictures, write notes, draw, sketch, paint. Whatever.

You can just use three pieces of A3 paper actually, just reuse the back page of each paper. I THINK you are allowed to do that. I did that for my SA1 I think. Not really sure about this, but who really cares much about that minor detail anyway? Not as if they are going to deduct off your marks for something as trivial as that...I hope. Lol.

0.o And to all General Art people, have a nice 5 day holiday break and go jump off the nearest tallest building next to you. Thank you and have a nice weekend! :D

Heehee.

Binale

An update.
Or whatever else you would call this.

AEP Singapore Binale Hopscotch Trail.

Despite the evil warnings of death and decay given by the Hopscotch trail form that we received, this is not an execution. We would be just going there at 2:00pm sharp meeting at the VS foyer area. Latecomers would be left behind, willingly or unwillingly. And Mr Tan would still keep for himself, I mean take your $10 plus from your Edusave, no matter what if you went or not for the tickets.

We would end the evil trail of death at 5:45 plus, and zee bus would take us back to Victoria School at 6 - 6:30pm plus. Bring along your sheets of white papyrus enclosed in a hard cover as well as a stick of graphite or a stick of ink to scratch important glyphs and symbols as well as drawings into your sheets of white papyrus enclosed in a hard cover.

Remember to bring molotov cocktails, I mean water bottles or drinks with you. Anything ranging from plastique bottles to metallic clubs with a lid. Oops, I meant plastic. We are leaving our holders of sheets of white papyrus in school and it is suggested to bring a smaller holder of sheets of white papyrus so that it can serve its constructed function to hold items.

For NCC idiots apart from Adeeb, tomorrow we will have to skip training. Foot drills and Arm drills would be revised before being tested. Don't ask me why they would be testing Arm drills - we barely learnt them at all. I doubt people like Clive or Tze Yang would even recognize Arm drills so...

Yeah.

[Arthas]

Holiday Homeworks

English

Picture Discussion on Week 1 - Bring along a picture with the points: People, Place, Event and Significance.

Orienteering Saturday

For NCC Land Part Bs,

Your Orienteering Badge Test will take place this Saturday (30/08/08) at Pasir Ris Park. Meet at Pasir Ris MRT - White Sands - by 8.50am . We will then walk to Pasir Ris Park and conduct the badge test. The faster you run, the faster the dismissal. The tentative dismissal time is around 10.45 to 11am.

Attire - pt kit with green socks.
Bring along your water bottles and a pen each.

Those who cannot make it, please inform Surya earlier. This is compulsory for all part B's.

...and yes IMT is still tomorrow. Too bad for us.

[Arthas]

Orienteering

To NCC doofuses.

I'm not really sure about this, but it seems that the orienteering run thing has been postponed till Saturday. Don't know whether this is true yet, but anyway since we have the Maths/English test thing on Thursday, there wouldn't be any orienteering run at Pasir Ris Park on Thursday.

By the way, you would *most likely* recieve an orienteering badge if you manage to pass the orienteering test.

At least that is for those classes taking the test on Thursday. And IMT shoot is on Friday. Teacher's Day, so unlucky for us. Not as if most of us would be able to get a marksman...apart from some people.

Like, duh.
