30th Anniversary of Hwa Chong Junior College

Today is the 30th Anniversary of Hwa Chong Junior College. It is also the last celebration for the school before the school goes into history after merging with The Chinese High School next year. A big carnival was held this morning which lasted till late afternoon for alumni to return 'home' and join in the celebration with the current students. The school logo is not going to be used anymore so I got myself some mementoes with the logo on them. I wish I could have bought more but I am without income presently so I can afford just a fraction of the items on sale. By buying more also means I could have raised more development funds for the school.

Cups

Brazil has won the Copa America. Now we just have to wait and see who wins the Asian Cup. This will complete the major tournaments of the various continents, though short of Africa.

New Name for Merged School

My alma maters The Chinese High School and Hwa Chong Junior College will merge into a single school next year. I attended the voting of thenew school name today but unfortunately, my choice had been out-voted. The new school will be known in English as Hwa Chong Institution while the Chinese name is 华侨中学 (Huá Qiáo Zhōng Xué), name of The Chinese High School. I find the Chinese name especially unsuitable as the merged school is no longer a secondary or middle school. It is more of a college. Hence I voted for the choice of a name reflecting it. Too bad my choice was not the choice of the majority. I am both very angry and sad right now and am mourning the loss of HCJC forever.

Repair

Ay, I have just replaced my PC's power supply box. I really dislike opening up my PC's casing as it is rusty and dirty. Too bad I don't have extra money to get a nicer casing. Oh well, as long as it is still usable, I will leave it alone and save up for a new notebook.

European Cup

YEAH! Greece has won the European Cup. They are the champions of Europe. Now that Euro 2004 is over, what's next? Copa America that is.

Wedding

Wow, the wedding I attended yesterday was like a mini reunion for the graduating class of 2000 as both the bride and groom have common friends with us as guests. It was so wonderful to able to see friends I miss dearly yet fail to make an effort in catching up. What's wrong with me? Why can't I just make the effort?
