Poor Lizard...

A story:
I went to the kitchen in the middle of the night for a drink. Just as I was at the entrance of the kitchen, I heard a crackling sound. I switched on the light and saw to my horror that my wheel-chair has ran over a small lizard. It was the lizard that always came out to roam around the house. I was sort of used to it roaming around that I never thought of it not getting out of our way. Guess I was wrong. Poor thing, it had its guts all spilled out.

Moral of the story:
Never come out in the dark to roam unless you have night vision.

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.
