o.O XCountry library mugging!

Let's start off with a quote from SEAN. =)
"Walao, in my four years of being in Raffles Cross Country, I have NEVER seen a time when so many crossers gather together to study" -Sean Lim

... Okay, so maybe not everyone was studying. We had some people like Ben flipping through some magazines (Reader's Digest?) to look for *certain types of* pictures and forgetting to put the magazines back at the end of the day. And then Leeni and Derek were arguing about sleeping in class for some time. And we also found a really really really thick Biology book which was so thick that it's probably taller than most of your rulers.

Pics were taken before today's (28/1/09) training. Enjoy!






And we end off with an amazing picture... The ultimate >.< face

EVER seen EVERest with specs? (excuse the pun)

=P

Sine finibus

Heya, in case you haven't noticed yet, there's a new gadget towards the right side of the blog!

...

No, not the clock!



Scroll down a little...











Not there yet...









Almost there....










If this post is still at the top, you should be able to see it from here =)



I've decided (some time ago) to compile past photos into a FaceBook album instead of smacking them all onto this blog, cos there's a limit to the number of photos you can upload onto Blogger. So for those of you who haven't seen the pictures from last year's Learning Journey to KL, the link is just there. Actually, Ben has another album, but I can't put his link there unless he adjusts his FB settings. (*poke*, *poke*, Ben)

So I guess that's it for this post.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!
新年快乐！
あけまして　おめでとうございます！
(Don't bother putting the Japanese one into a translator cos it probably doesn't work)

Candid Shots from yesterday's race

Prize presentation this Tuesday, still awaiting more details...

Race tomorrow

There's a race tomorrow, and we are all prepared to have fun, a good head-start, and experience! Haha!

Raffles Trail De-Briefing

The Raffles Trail on Friday seriously went quite well (Of course that's a good thing!) Other than the occasional not-very-noticable screw ups from time to time, the whole thing felt quite good... Especially for the parts during which our model Sam Soh presented about our jerseys and official race attire =) Yes, I'm very sure you can still remember what he presented about... =P

Okay, on to the main points.

Sec 3s... first of all - Welcome back from OBS! You all were really lucky cos it didn't rain during OBS this year. (Yes, the temperature in Pulau Ubin drops by ALOT when it rains) Hopefully some of you have been paying attention to what we did during the Raffles Trail two days ago cos your batch is going to be spearheading next year's Raffles Trail for the batch of 2013! =P (Yea, we've been using the same format for our Raffles Traill booth the past two or three years)

Sec 1s and 2s, it was seriously nice to hear some of your XCountry experiences after having spent one or more years in RIXC. And in one year's time, you all will be helping out next year's Sec 4 batch with the Raffles Trail, so hopefully some of you guys picked up some pointers to take note of as well. ;)

On a less serious note, it was nice to relieve some Sec 1 memories (when our current Sec 4 batch was Sec 1) by looking through some old photos taken in 2006. Come to think of it, it feels kinda weird to know a batch 3 years older than us and a batch 3 years younger than us o.O

And, of course, some pictures to accompany this post! (The ones that some of you were so despo to see during the Raffles Trail) These are the pictures in one of Mr. Lim's CDs, the ones that were taken in Year 2006, when some of us were really, really sma... ... ... ... never mind.

"The Shi Kai picture"

Can you tell who's who?

And as usual, this post ends off with...

SINE FINIBUS.
