Based on the "Secondary School Quiz"... the "JC Quiz"
JC only occurred about a year or two ago, so the memories are quite fresh, as compared to JC. The questions still remain the same.
Get to know what everyone was like in JC! Change the answers as they apply to you and forward them to your friends' bulletins!
Your JC:
TJC
1. Nickname in JC?
Aug
Auggy/Auggie
Ba1 Yue4 (8th month, i.e. August)
September, October, November, December, January and all that shit
Emperor (Pipiland)
Ah Gong/Shos (MEPers)
Maestro
2. Sport(s) you were into?
Long-distance cycling… in t-shirt, Bermudas and slippers
Forced into: running, swimming.
3. Had a gang of friends? How many were there?
Pipilanders and MEPers!
Pipilanders: 9 + about 3 associates
MEPers: about 20, around there
4. Best subject?
Not a single one; I'm one of the black sheep among the academics throughout my college life.
5. Worst subject?
*Considering from the start of Year 1 till somewhere before the Prelims*
History
Music
English Literature
AO Chinese
AO Maths
GP
Basically ALL my subjects
6. A teacher you owe life lessons to?
All my teachers. The great thing about being in the arts is that you get to discuss a lot of things.
7. A teacher you want to kick in the ass?
Not a teacher, but a member of the non-teaching staff. His Ominous Majesty, if you know him
*Describe in one word*
8. Year 1
Quite disorientated
Never enthusiastic
9. Year 2
Better orientated
More worthwhile; had two cliques
Still never enthusiastic
10. Your best friend was?
The people from Pipiland and MEP
11. Your worst friend was?
Andy Huang
(1) Mugger
(2) Disgusting and mentally unsound at those moments. This incident happened in LT1 during the first three months. I was sitting next to him. Halfway during the lecture I suddenly felt someone stroking my elbow. I glanced at that direction and to my horror, it was Andy Huang doing it! Shocked, I pulled away from him, and gave him a warning signal to fuck off through my eyes. But he was at it again. He suddenly leaned forward and rested his head on my table when I was not aware. Why can't he lie on his own table? Why must he rest on mine? Worst still, he looked up and gave his stupid grin. I was mortified. From then on, I never ever spoke to him so regularly, or did I ever want to make any contact with him.
12. Cafeteria food sucked?
Nice ambience, lousy food. Western food was the best but terribly overpriced.
13. Most hilarious school rule?
No eating anywhere else except the canteen… what the heck, if people have the brains to do their A levels they would also have the brains to smuggle food in their bags and eat… sometimes, of all places… the LECTURE THEATRES (I'm not kidding, there are people who brought curry puff and other snacks in there)
14. Wore uniforms?
Every moment except Valentine's Day (where the teachers wore school uniforms for fund-raising purposes) and Racial Harmony Day.
Of course, during performances… civilian clothes
15. How was the prom?
Didn't even bother to go
16. Who were prom king and queen?
Don't know also… never go how to tell?
17. Any achievements?
Playing piano lots of times for so many performances
Composing the background music for the interactive software at our college' archives (come to think of it, as I study the score for that piece now, I think it absolutely sucks)
Converting one of John Donne's poems (Divine Meditations IX: If poisonous minerals…) into music and performing it at Literature lecture
Sadly my bumper harvest only occurs after I graduated: this year my works have been performed live more frequently.
18. Were you popular?
I don't know… lots of people seem to know my name…
19. Best song that reminds you of JC?
"That Thing You Do". Funny because I never heard of that song before (it's so damn old) until I arrived in JC.
20. Unforgettable JC crush?
Definitely… one of my class girls. Well, that's passed…
21. Most embarrassing moment?
Can't recall any one…
22. Memory(s) you'd like to forget about JC?
Being caught and lectured by the OM for walking on the grass "because the cleaner just swept the floor and I would dirty it again" - that was one of those days when it had not rained for ages, and what the heck, everybody walks on the grass.
The time I took home too many scores and CDs and never returned them for months and I got screwed for that…
23. Best memory(s)?
Truanting from PE and other school functions to hide inside the MS and listen to music, watch DVDs and play piano.
Playing the piano at whatever performances I've been involved in
Spending my free periods in MS 2
Going out with the Pipilanders for lunch
24. Any regrets?
Not exactly… although I wished I had taken English Literature from the very beginning, from the moment I stepped into TJC.
25. Would you like your "future child" to attend your JC?
Depends on the situation then…
26. Were the bathrooms clean?
Yes, very, very clean after renovations were carried out. ¶ 6/13/2004 06:05:00 pm
