Three (repeated) announcements for all you Ursa bears. Sports Day is in mid-April, which is coming soon! So let's prepare and get our cheers, banners, and interhouse cheerleaders ready and emerge triumphant for this year's Sports Day!

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!

The new blogskin will come up only after sports day. That is so as I will need to get the pictures of Ursa members in ACTION, and integrate them into the design and all. To digress just abit, sports day should be on early April, the exact date unknown. So all members do be ready!

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.)

updates from The Land of CTs In Less Than Two Weeks

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!

also, we'd like to congratulate and support our ursa house comm noms! they are, in entirely random order...

the unofficial table banging contest!

BANG ON THIS:
here's the plan:

you bang on the table, take a video, and either post the youtube link on the tagboard, or send to the gmail.

we watch, we like, we give best banging bears a prize.

please note that this is not officially sanctioned by the school (because, seriously, an official table banging competition?), AND THE GREATEST CARE HAS TO BE TAKEN OF SCHOOL PROPERTY! please do NOT under any circumstance damage school tables, there are pretty few in the canteen as it is, i can never find a freaking seat to sit and eat.
