On NUS Montage Challenge Shield
As a MJC Photography Club secretary (cum treasurer cum saikang warrior), I've spent hours and hours of hard work into making some presentation, some poster, some exhibition.... taking thousands of event pictures that eventually end up in the archived CDs sitting in Mr Tee's office. My parents were often grumpy about me having to spend all my nights on seemingly bo liao (senseless) photog stuff instead of doing homework or revising for tomorrow's test.
My parents have never seen any of my photographs that were exhibited in school, and they have always thought photography to be something you can't earn a living with. I'm sure some of you have parents who think the same way too. But when things started paying off- Eagles Award, my close shave at winning a photo-blogging competition (I got grand prize, whoohoo!), subsequently getting the Service Award in recognition of my service to the school- then did my parents finally realise my passion for photography goes more than just a hobby.
The only exhibited work they've seen is the one of a feather that hangs in my living room (to this day most people thought that I bought it from Ikea I should really autograph that picture man), and when they were invited to College Day 2008, then did they finally had the chance to see my works hung up on the same morning by the Alumni top brass at the canteen. The Singapore Exhibition, which some of you might still remember, to inaugurate the Alumni Society of MJC Photography. The glint in their eyes..... told me all I needed to know.
I remember last year I was at NUS attending the Montage 2008 Seminar. Similarly, we've won the School Challenge Shield. Kingston and I were there to support Yong En, Mumtaz and Vanessa, whose works were exhibited. Most importantly, I was there to see us win the competition.
Like most seniors, I complain about how our juniors seem to be so.... hmmm.... silly. (Haha, this reminds me fondly of the video King Chee and I recorded.) But when I saw how good our pictures were, and that we won the School Challenge, I felt as if I was my dad and mom looking at my pictures. I was so proud and excited that I looked almost silly.
When PPC came down with the load of prizes and the shield, King and I scrambled to clean the shield of the sweaty palm prints. Without hesitating, King grabbed the front of his t-shirt and HAAAARRRR breathed on the shield to wipe it clean.
I think the effort put in by each and everyone of you to submit a photo is really commendable. Thank you for doing yourself and the school proud. Hope to see you guys at the Seminar tomorrow at Suntec!

Germany, Dachau
Hi Beautiful Children =) so happy for you that you won the Yip Hoi Kee Challenge again ^^ so how was the farewell party? has it happened already? sorry i'm in a different timezone =P
some of you know that i'm in europe now, Germany to be exact and Paris later. Today i visited a Nazi concentration camp in Dachau and thought i'll share some of my pics with you =)
It's a little depressing la but hm... that's the truth.
So... here you go...
I believe we’ve all read about what happened in the concentration camps and might have even watched documentaries on them so I will keep it short.
“Arbeit macht frei” means “Work Brings Freedom”. This is the gate through which the prisoners captured by the Secret Service under Hilter’s rule entered. Behind this gate, the prisoners had to give up their property, their rights and any basic human dignity. Behind this gate, each prisoner became a mere number. Today, it’s the entrance into the memorial, what used to be the first Nazi concentration camp site after which the rest of the sites were modeled.
After an arduous journey, the prisoners were herded through the gates and sent to disrobing rooms where they were striped, shaven and given striped pyjamas. Shown below is the sleeping quarters. Inside each barrack are rooms in which were packed 54 beds each (2 x 9 x 3).
Washing area and toilet. Two rooms shared one washing area and toilet.
Each prisoner was assigned a locker and stool. The only “possession” they had were their striped clothes.
The inscription reads: “May the example of those who have been exterminated here between 1933 – 1945 because they resisted Nazism help to unite the living for the defence of peace and freedom and in respect for their fellow men.”
Gas chambers. These gas chambers in Dachau were built but never used. Gas chambers in other regions such as Auschwitz were used instead. You can see the holes in the ceiling where the gas pipes used to be.
The original crematorium. As the number of corpses increased drastically, more furnaces had to be built to cremate the dead prisoners. Each furnace could cremate two prisoners at one go.
Some prisoners were executed by hanging then burnt immediately.
This sculpture reminds us of the heaps of malnourished human corpse in the camps.
Behind each of these trees was a barrack. The entire camp housed thousands of prisoners from 1933 – 1945.
Heavily guarded, escape was virtually impossible. German soldiers in these watch-towers opened fire at any prisoner who ventured into the forbidden zone near the barbed wires. Some prisoners deliberately went into the region in order to end their suffering.
Never again

Soccer finals
This was the 4th time that MJC is meeting VJC in the A Division Finals...
Fazli leading the team out
Group shot before the match
Fazli being congratulated after scoring the equalizer...
Joseph celebrating after scoring the second goal to put MJ in the driving seat...
Edmund suffering from a knock on his head...
Fazli with his back hurting after a collision with a VJC player
But what I felt was the highlight of the match was the sportmanship displayed by our players. They, without hesitation, went to the aid of the VJC players stricken with cramps.
So even though the match was lost but there weren't any losers.
Coach gathering his players to encourage them
Leading the boys to acknowledge the support given by the MJC students
Our most faithful diehard fan
Khair congratulating a VJC player
MJC still rapturing with cheers in support of our boys
Fazli with the 1st runners' up trophy
Finally, the people behind the photos...
