HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY VICTORIA JUNIOR COLLEGE!
I'm so glad to be a Victorian. Whether or not I've made VJ proud, I'm proud to have been from VJ.
Couldn't pop over yesterday to watch the celebrations because I was out the whole day. When we reached home at around 10.45pm, we could hear the band playing It's My Life (Bon Jovi) under the huge white marquee set up in the field, this is where the dinner tables were set up as well (from what I could see from my balcony). Mum suggested we go take a quick look at what's going on. Unfortunately, we heard the emcee announcing that the band would be playing the last song of the night. And they played La Bamba [for the benefit of non-Victorians (and the not-very-Victorian Victorians), this is one of our 6 mass dance songs.]
VJ brings back a flood of memories. But that's for another post. I've gotta get ready to leave for PA.
Nil Sine Labore. (Though it's a cliched ending to speeches and all, it's just so appropriate. Not just because of the literal meaning, but because of the patriotic spirit it arouses. And since it's usually mentioned at celebrations, it generally is reminiscent of half-days and full-days. haha!)
