Hello everyone. Firstly, I understand that not many of us find aesthetic pleasure in the design of the current blogskin, so I'll try my best to come up with a new one as soon as possible.

Ok, with that aside...

This is an announcement to all you Ursa members. As we all know, the VJC Sports Day is coming up soon in a couple of months, and there're many exciting things associated with that special day that we can participate in - banner designs, cheerleading, and of course, taking part in the events. After a not-so-proud setback (I wouldn't say defeat) in the cross-country this year, we at the house comms (the nominees, the house comm J2 members, and the teacher-in-charge Mr. Chow) are determined for Ursa to emerge CHAMPION in this year's Sports Day. Most certainly, we're not the only ones eager and there must be millions of you out there itching to play a part for Ursa's glory.

So here's your chance.

Banner designs. We need your help to come up with good and jaw-dropping (to quote Mr. Chow) designs that people will talk about for years to come. Ok, that shall be our doable aim. Contact details, I'll post it up soon, but in the meanwhile, you can make use of the tagboard.

Cheerleading. We need 20 people to participate in this year's cheerleading competition, representing our house on Sports Day. It's gonna be a great time for us all, and apart from training and sweating together, we bond! Yeah! And we're honoured to have our dear Quarter-master and senior cheerleader to act as our coach, so we're gonna beat the other teams flat!

Sports Day events. Just take part in as many events as you can just so we can win points. To quote Mr. Chow roughly again, even if you can't run, just take part in the race! We don't require (although we will appreciate it) victory in EVERY event, but we WANT the overall victory. We must top Sports Day, so let's all get hyped up, enthusiastic, and fight for our house, URSA! (Ok, a tad cheesy, but brings up the effect.)

So that's all for now, hope to see your positive tags. (Can't think of a better way to end this thing.)

URSA BEARS!!!

even though we were not the no. 1 for x-country, we'd like to thank all who participated in all that running and "reasons for running" and the ambition dress up! i know some of the reasons for running were insanely funny... "i'm running because all the girls are cheering me on!"... "i'm running because i'm scared of the PE dept!"... "i'm running because he's running!"... "i'm running cos i couldn't get an MC!" etc. and we'd like to applaud all those who dressed up, i know xianglin in a swimming instructor kit, guowei as a supermodel and sanchit as his official photographer, xtine as a duck rice canteen vendor, wenwen as a SIA girl, and junyang for co-winning the ambition dress up thing as a construction worker with a disfigured face.

(sorry if i missed anyone out, that's the downside of being tiny your view is occasionally obscured.)

and congratulations to our athletic, awesome bears who came in top 100! [especially our ursa bear who came in at the very hundredth position for girls' ;) ]

we shall post pictures up once we find them so you can relive the fun!
