Before I headed down to RJC, I had a soccer match at Yishun against my cousin's team. We won 3-2, even though we were outnumbered 10 men to 11. I don't have a picture of the team that fought it out at Yishun, but here's an abstract representation...
Sure they're all women, but where's the tenth player, you wonder? See the chair draped in white? That's our striker Mus. He's as mobile as a chair and scores as many goals as one.
After the match, Mus and I took a cab down to Bishan Stadium, where my yankee friend Alvin picked us up and drove us to RJC. That place (RJC) is so big with unnecessary or underused facilities:
Facilities, like brains.
When I walk through RJC, I couldn't help but think of the millions of dollars they could have saved and donated to help feed Rwandan kids instead...
RJC's students would definitely have teething problems in settling into the new campus. Not all, of course, maybe one in four...
The ratio could be larger than that...
Or maybe even smaller, who knows?
But none of that dispels the fact that RJC, like any other school, is a work of art because it brings people together in one institution.
Be it guy-bonding between male students and their chemistry teacher...
Or guy bonding between more male students and their chemistry teacher...
Between the girls and members of the animal kingdom...
Camaraderie, even, among rival House Captains...
Of course, there are some things that you just cannot find in Raffles Junior Collge.
Like drug addicts...
Or zoo escapees...
It is a safe place. You do not have to worry about losing your privates...
Neither can you find the SAJC Track team in that place...
It's an exclusive place, but all in all, it is magnificent. Met Geri there... Lovely lady with equally lovely dance moves (and that woman dances GOOD).
Closest thing I'v ever done to proper dancing is this:
And yes the closest thing to dancing Aizat should ever do is waving, what with the kind of dances he comes up with.
And like Aizat, it is time for me to wave to all of you goodbye as I leave for Pulau Tekong again.
