Happy Valentine’s/Friendship Day Victorians! I’m sure many of you received chocolates and sweets today.
Some things:
1) Don’t get a sore throat from eating too many chocolates! The key is to pace your chocolate consumption. 
2) Couples out there: hope you had a great day spent with your significant other!
3)Victorians: hope you had a fun day spent with your friends as well! School today had a happier atmosphere than normal and may the happy feeling continue through the week!
You guys are probably looking forward to the weekends besides Valentine’s right? Oh and not to mention the ‘break’ with HBL next week 
Also, have you guys seen the junior & senior class identies? There were 2 classes that stood out especially with green paint on their faces and hair! It must be hard to wash all the paint off after today but perhaps the attention was worth it! My class decided to use yellow bubble blowers as our class identity.We blew bubbles in LT5 and in the canteen,maybe some of you guys noticed? 
Bubble bubble pop!
Special thanks to the CT council, the horticultural society and Art Club for helping Victorians spread their love for one another
Signing off now! Enjoy your presents everyone.
You must have a heart of stone if it didn’t skip a beat when you first heard Whitney Houston belting out the tunes of ‘I will always love you’.
The untimely death of the 48-year-old vocal legend just a few days before the annual Grammy Awards this year has made this writer reflect on how music has transformed over the years with the creation of new genres to markedly different styles and marketing techniques.
There have been many good singers since Whitney first came into the music scene in 1985. But the late Ms. Houston is undoubtedly one of the rare greats. Back in the day when people just sang without any fancy music videos to accompany the wholesome good ‘ol-fashioned tunes. Songs of hope, of pain and joy. Her vocal prowess is almost unmatched, with a vocal range spanning three octaves and a versatility that is hard to come by until this day.
It is likely we’ll never see another Whitney Houston in our lifetime.
So today, let us remember how this multi-Grammy award winning songstress showed us music that will be remembered for years to come.
Whitney Houston (9/8/63-11/2/12)
Robin Hobb’s Farseer trilogy, consisting of Assassin’s Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin Quest, is anything but run off the mill. It is exceptional and despite being a fairly “traditional” fantasy with a vaguely Middle Ages setting, a kingdom in peril and a protagonist whom the fate of the world hangs upon, it deviates away from all conventional storylines. Her hero, FitzChivalry, is a royal bastard and by the mere fact of his lineage, he is both a threat and an embarrassment to his royal kin. What’s worst, his difficulties are compounded by the fact that not only is the magical Skill of his Farseer heritage manifested in him, but the Wit as well. With the Wit being a form of ancient magic that is misunderstood and feared by most people, Fitz is in for a hard life of deceit and concealment. The three books follow him as he grows, faces challenges, changes as he learns from experience.
The best thing about this book is that Fitz does not succeed in and triumphs over every single challenge. It is an accurate representation of life and the process of growing up and maturing. The painful moments are not spared and Hobb does not let Fitz be diminished by his failures. He is thick-headed, often wrong, and plagued by his regrets, but never once was he reduced to a typical angsty teenager, remaining likeable, witty, and multi-dimensional. The ending of the Assassin’s Quest, and of the Farseer trilogy, tugs at heartstrings as well as acknowledges the fact that no one can come out of a journey unscarred, and that we may have to make sacrifices that benefit others for a greater good. Bittersweet and satisfying, the Farseer trilogy is definitely worth reading for all fans of the fantasy genre and goes to show that popularity is not an indicator of quality when it comes to books.
It’s been four days since the end of orientation: voices are returning, aching muscles are healing and most importantly, the 2012 JC1 students are finally here!
It’s great to see that so many of you have integrated so well into VJC, acting as if you’ve been here for months already. It wasn’t easy distinguishing between JC1s and JC2s today, and I believe we all owe it all to a fantastic orientation. Kudos to you, orientation adhoc, OGLs, freshies, and all who made this year’s orientation such a success!
How I felt today
But now, many of you will be asking: with all the hype and hullaballoo of orientation over, what happens now? Well one thing’s for certain, we’ll no longer be enjoying 3 people long queues in the canteen during breaks anymore. This week is still packed with plenty of awesome activities that both seniors and juniors will enjoy! How can orientation be truly over without…
CCA Walkabout!
With over 60 different CCAs in VJC, CCAs are definitely an integral part of any Victorians life. Worrying over which CCA to join? Don’t fret; during the CCA walkabout this Wednesday (8 Feb 2012), your enthusiastic seniors will be more than willing to tell you more about their CCAs! The best CCA is of course, subjectif, ah I mean subjective and it is entirely up to you to decide!
Sea Sports Carnival!
Making use of VJC’s prime location by the sea, the sea sports carnival is definitely an opportune moment to get to know your classmates better and to bond through some wet fun! Expect jousting, cheers and mass dances this Friday (10 Feb 2012) at the iconic East Coast Park. JC2 students won’t be missing out on the action as well; we’ll be having class picnics and chilling by the beach.
What you can expect at the Sea Sports Carnival!
Mass Dance at Suntec!
To end off the week with a bang, be sure to be at the ever popular mass dance at Suntec! This year, the mass dance at Suntec promises to be the most spectacular yet, with a brand new mass dance! I hope you remember all your dance moves, because you’re going to need them! If you have forgotten, the dance moves can be found here, courtesy of VJC Student Council, so do refresh your memory. The mass dance at Suntec is one of the greatest milestones of any Victorians journey in VJC, go check out you’re seniors comments on the mass dances here on Facebook!
Orientation may be officially over, but the fun is just beginning! Do stay tuned for more updates on the happenings at VJC here at subjectif!
You know what’s amazing?
In only four short days, strangers who had nothing to say each other before now dance together; cheer together and sing the same school song loud and proud.
Victoria thy sons are we, and we will not forget
In only four short days, strangers who preferred to stick with those they already knew now cheer each other on in a brilliant display of camaraderie.
Victoria thy triumphs see, and victories we share yet
In only four short days, strangers become strangers no longer and we witness the transformation of freshmen to true blue Victorians.
For others came before and went, and carried to the world
Victorians, who will undoubtedly bring forth the legacy of our junior college to the future and beyond.
Victoria’s fame, and our intent, to keep her flag unfurled.
JCO 2012: The Imaginarium, that’s what’s amazing.
