Braveheart Anderson-V-I-C-T-O-R-Y F-O-R-E-V-E-R

It's all over...

AJ 3 TJ 2-We are the volleyball champions!

HC-NY-"Elites vs Heartlanders"

just for kicks me and mingzhu the council elect decided to go there at 1pm,just to soak up the fun.except for the early birds HC girls,there isn't any supporters in the cavernous 2000 seater sports hall.slowly,NY fans trickle in by the bus load,which allegedly was all the J2s plus a few interested J1s.it's damn spectacular to see how NY manages to fill up their quarter while there isn't any HC people save for 4 netballers(whose final is today),3 dudes,2 injured players and no one else.but just as it's the case for HC suppoorters,which would have numbered 200 or so,the NY girls(think Ruoci and Eunice Koh) swaggers in amid much applause.It looks like it's now or never for them as this represents their only title hope.NY has disposed of VJ 3-1 while HC overcame a 2-0 deficit to rise from the dead and send the Saints home

if HC brought the heavy artillery,they kinda have no use when the idiotic MI emcee says the following...Please refrain from using any musical instruments during the match.that sort of bum.you think musical instruments=hooliganism?i'm more hooligan.their not so occupied quarter are also filled by Rafflesians and gradually our men.kash muz haf been well hidden as the HC gals insistently played a patient game of russian roulette with Ruoci and team.It somehow looks like as if the NY heartlanders has came out in full force,as the HC elites from Bt Timah got overstretched.as for the match...it's HC the crisis specialists again.just how the heck they actually win from a 2-2 tie isn't what we expected...thought NY was the more zai team,since HC has 2 short ones(1 unused substitute).it was HC dominating all the odd numbered rounds and NY coming back all the time,and a nail-biting finish was somewhat unexpected

TJ-AJ-"Juve vs Bremen encore"

Now for the match we've been waiting for.it's our area that's pretty much filled up,J2,J1 whatever you want.As for the crowd,they're a stellar bunch,with a bluechip teachers cast comprising of the Principal,the 2 VPs,4 HODs and some of the staff.that's what we least expected actually.A rousing start by our team gave us the first set,which was somewhat biased to our side.we were sending cannonballs that the guys in olive can't figure out what were these.thanks too to our 4 giant banners that the technicolour TJ banner couldn't beat in size.

If the girls game was all about acting tough,the guys match demands more of not putting your foot off the pedal.we did that and were made to pay as TJ took 2 straight sets after this,allegedly copying our style in the first set,especially on the third set where we looked quite out at sea and staring at the silver medals.in fact they were pumping more high balls as usual and we just seemed quite unsure of what to do.It was chun kiat and shengli dominating proceedings as our Bravehearts are unusually silent as the going got somewhat bumpy

Miracles do happen,particularly when you least expect it...we stormed back in the fourth set,thanks to our determination and also because TJ were too distracted with their trophy.with the score 2-2 again,the atmosphere's palpable as both were now on their feet for this decider...playing to 15 for our sake.we didn't quite disappoint as we got back to 8-6 and then it's all rosy from here,up to the time where every AJCian,here or there,were all euphoric after 15-11.It was such a sight,everyone singing their school song,acting like hools,in a jubilant mood...where we got it back after 2003.the trophy itself was prophetic,as our first win at 2001 wasn't followed up by other engravings...haha maybe that was prophetic.to cure our hoarse throats,the soccer guys went to ice cube to eat icecream..but since I'm broke,looks like i'm trying the liquor filled magik potion next time

Breaking News: The AJ econs department has granted the econs H1 students early dismissal so they can watch the basketball match.now the heat's on the other departments to do the same thing,given the top brass are also going too.this is done to prevent more desperate measures taken at the expense of productivity
