FYI
The past achievements section in the sidebar has been slightly modified.
This is due to the fact that one of the questions in the House Comm Application form requires the knowledge of the events we have won.
The actual achievements list (one whole list of stuffs) will be back right after all the application forms are submitted.
Meanwhile, if you are interested to be part of VJC '09 House Comm, please visit the booth set up near the canteen to find out more about us or to buy an application form.
Each form costs only $1.99. Remember to answer every question carefully! =)

J1s interested in being a HOUSE, (note the comma) please head on to our booth near the canteen on the 10th, 11th and 12th Feb!

More details regarding this will be included in the next post.
(3) HOUSE ACTIVITIES IN TERM ONE
Wowww~~~!
For J2s, with the end of orientation, do you feel that something is missing?

URSA = FIRST
That's right, you've seen the tag, URSA is currently the FIRST IN RANKING, thanks to UR avid participation!
The news have even spread to Malaysia (see tagboard)! =D
INTERHOUSE BRIGDE
Date: 7 Oct 08
Time: 1615h
Venue: Concourse
In addition to having the most number of participants in INTERHOUSE BRIDGE COMPETITION, 3 out of 4 finalists are from URSA!
Despite facing a tough fight from the shameless lynx cats, the URSA finalists eventually managed to come in FIRST, FIRST (it's a tie) and THIRD runners-up.
They are:
- 1st Runner Up: Thomas (08S42)
- 1st Runner Up: Patrick (08S64)
- 3rd Runner Up: Tingyong (08S37)
A round of applause for them!
Anyways, with these results, URSA emerged as the overall BRIDGE champions, and hence is placed at the FIRST position in the overall house ranking (as of 07 Oct)!
GLOBAL AFFAIRS QUIZ
Date: 8 Oct 08
Time: 1500h
Venue: Performance Theatre
Whee~~~
Although there's a lower rate of participation for this activity (we assume that it's due to the intensity of the previous day's competition), we've got pretty good results! =)
One of our teams came in SECOND runner-up, having an average score of less than 0.5 lower than the FIRST runner-up. Hence, they weren't able to go into the FINALS and compete for the $120 book voucher. =(
The team members are:
- Kang-An (08S56)
- Syamil (08S56)
- Chrystal (08S56)
Even though we didn't win the quiz today, URSA, on the overall, should be still on top of all the other houses! Wow, amazing!
Well done, URSA!
At this point of time, the URSA House Comm would like to sincerely thank each and every one of the participants for participating in the abovementioned two house activities.
Remember,
Continue to take part in more house activities!
For those who haven't done so, here's your chance:
next Thursday.
Watch out for the next post for more updates on it!

HCD
Happy CHILDREN'S DAY!
It's been a long while since we're entitled to a 'children's day' public holiday, ya?
So, do cherish today and do something that you've always wanted to do, but can't do cos you're already a 'grown up'. That includes:
- Watching Kid's Central.
Although there's no more powerpuff girls or bananas-in-pyjamas, you can still expect to see all-time favourites, like Pokemon and Power Rangers! <3> - Receiving gifts for Children's Day
Go on, ask your parents/teachers for presents.
Afterall, today's YOUR day! - Play the games you used to play in primary school - hopscotch, tic-tac-toe, ice and water, zero-point; or even those that you've enjoyed playing when the teachers are not around, e.g. BRIDGE.
Whoops! Did I mentioned BRIDGE?
That brings me to the next point, INTERHOUSE BRIDGE, next tuesday!
Even if you're inexperienced, it's okay!
Bridge is a game that requires both skill and luck.
Even without the skill, you'll still have the luck (ever heard of beginner's luck?)!
So, quick quick, got sign up at the URSA house board on friday when you come back for Farewell Assembly!
P.S. Farewell Assembly's going to be fun! =)
HCA (Happy Children's Day),
Ci Yi.

RIP
How time flies!
Remember the post 6 days ago?
With merely a few million blinks of the eye, IT's over!
Well, at least for some of us.. =)
For the potential physicists and physicians, don't be jealous, it's going to be over soon!
But if you're reading this, chances are, your promos are already over.
Anyways, if you think that you're going to take R-paper for sure, remember the following fuss-free formula to pass your R-paper:
With the promos/prelims/end-of-year exams coming to an end, what can you do to spice up your life?
Well, one thing I can think of is by playing BRIDGE.
That's right.
Tthe 5th House Committee is coming up with an
INTERHOUSE BRIDGE COMPETION.
According to definitions, bridge, or more accurately known as Contract Bridge, is a card game in which four players, forming two partnerships, first bid then play by taking tricks.
Sounds exciting, ya?
"WE NEED TO KICK SOME BUTTS"
- Clarice Zhang
That's absolutely right.
We've been kicked too many times in our butts by other houses, so it's time to really fight back and show everyone who's the pro in 'butt-kicking'.
Tempted? Don't wait.
Sign up at the newly-revamped Ursa board NOW (or the next working day if your'e not in college).
More details can also be found there.
If there's not enough fields for you to sign up (which is what's going to happen, I hope), you should still die die try to squeeze your name into the sign-up sheet, to make other houses know that Ursa has many *AMAZING* individuals who are enthusiastic and full of zest when it comes to 'butt-kicking'.
If you still don't see any incentive in joining the competition, recall what Mr Chow did to us when we managed to get into the 'top six' for Cross Country.
Hence, we certainly don't want to get into merely the 'top six' for this year's overall house ranking right?

Angry Mr Chow
If you need some form of practice, you can visit http://viwawa.com/, and go to 'Zany Bridge'.
I have no idea who's Zany, but the game is quite effective in improving Brigding skills, as you compete with real online players.
You can even practice together with your friend in this online Bridge game!
Also try 'Wahjong', a Mahjong game to prepare yourselves for the interhouse MAHJONG next year (tentative).
With that, I end off today's post.
RIP (relaxing in peace),

Good luck for promos!
Just to wish ALL J1s good luck for promos.
We all know we can be promoted, ya?
Cos... we won't get a
U grade and take
R paper cos we're simply too
Superb, so we can all get straight
As for promos.
With this fact in mind, I conclude that promoting gracefully is not a myth.
As for the J2s, we all know that since you guys already got promoted a year ago, you should be capable of taking A levels right? So I shall save all those good lucks for myself.
As for the IPs, don't worry about your exams.
No matter what, you're going to be promoted to J1 next/next-next year under that choo-choo train system right? Ahh.. the joys of being able to skip O levels.
Ok, bears, see ya all in more interhouse games after the exams! =D
P.S. Don't look at the house score board. =X
Oh, by the way, we're going to revamp this house blog soon so watch out for more updates!
LOL (lots of love),
Ci Yi.

Firstly, do remember to submit your wonderful cheers to Ci Yi at wong.ciyi@vjc.sg. Ursa needs your jaw-dropping cheers!
Secondly, do submit your banner proposals to Wei Sheng at weisheng1991@hotmail.com. They shall be reviewed and if approved, you'll see your jaw-dropping designs around the school, perking the spirits of us Ursa bears up!
Thirdly, we need members to participate in this year's interhouse cheerleading competition. The sign-up list has already been put up on the Ursa house board, so please do go sign up! It's gonna be an exciting event, and a chance for us to score a jaw-dropping victory for Ursa, so please, don't hide your enthusiasms but instead, unleash them! We now have people from 08A15, 08S42, and 08S64 signing up already (though we still want more people from those classes). Ursa bears from 08S31, 08S37, 08S56, and V14, please kindly sign up with your CT reps and inform Junyang at juzjunzz@gmail.com. Thank you.
You do realise that the adjective "jaw-dropping," has been used very often. That is because it is the adjective that Mr. Chow, our house master, repeatedly emphasised on, and that should be what we as Ursa bears should produce in others. So let's all work hard and fight for Ursa!
