Of NJC Open House, or A Load Of Lies
Tomorrow’s News Today! Issue 15/10/05
Beware the NJ Spirit
Breaking news! The NJ Spirit has captured the hearts of thousands of hopeful potential academics. Experts worldwide puzzling over this strange phenomenon are attributing it to a series of inexplicably hypnotic events which took place yesterday in the NJC campus. It is suspected that the phantom was invoked by these annual rites performed by the already-possessed residential students.
The epochal day started with a seemingly innocuous introduction to the new A-level syllabus, aptly conducted at NJC’s center of activity – The Library. From 1000hrs to 1500 hrs, the victims received counsel on choosing their H1s, H2s and H3s, all the while oblivious to the fate that awaits them thereafter.
At 1130hrs to 1200hrs and 1330hrs to 1400hrs, in LT5, the initiates-to-be were introduced to the great leader of this conclave. Mrs. Virginia Cheng, Principal of NJC, allayed all their doubts and slaked their curiosity about the school while relating the euphoria of experiencing the NJ spirit. The prospecting students could hardly resist this barrage of tantalizing overtures offered by the institution.
Their resolve was further tested when the Art department, following up on the success of Mrs. Cheng, showcased their bountiful talents. A king’s hoard of adroitly crafted artifacts were utilized in an exhibition to lure in the unsuspecting. It was indeed impossible for these helplessly gaping thralls to pass on the offer to join the elite corps of the Art Elective Programme.
The last straw came at the lucky dip, held directly after the lambs’ visual assailing by the mesmerizing aesthetic display. The material bounty earned by the winners are but icing on the metaphorical cake of rewards that they can expect from the NJC brand of education.
Groups of devotees sashayed and flaunted their curves (and curved swords) in an effort to inspire unmitigated loyalty in the awed audience, while others employed the titillating sound of musical seduction. From 1030hrs to 1115hrs at the Linkway, the congregation was entranced by an explosion of entertainment by the Western Dancers, Harmonica Society, Angklung Group, Guitar Ensemble, Chinese Orchestra and Malay Dancers. Again at 1215hrs till 1315hrs, they were mercilessly bewitched by the captivating performances put up by the Indian Dancers, String Orchestra, Wushu Troupe, Guzheng Ensemble, Choir Sirens, Chinese Dancers and Symphonic Band.
Throughout all these happenings, the Hall was host to a nest of bustling activities as neophytes were enticed into being contracted to the myriad Co-Curricular Activities available.
In the aftermath of this supernatural occurrence, the outwardly-nonchalant attendees have all been infused with an aspiration to be part of this great family. Researchers estimate this covert seed planted in them yesterday to re-emerge with full force in the year 2006 in the next initiation rites where they will be further schooled in the ways of Service with Honour, Scholarship with Creativity, Leadership with Sensitivity, and Loyalty with Integrity.
The NJ Spirit has long been regarded the most potent of all school eidolons. The public is thus advised to either embrace it or miss out on all the fun.
