Scotch College '06 The Last Stand

Ok, I know the topic sounds gay but Ben insisted it was cool. Well, Term4, the term of terms, the ending, the final hurdle, the last stretch......the end. As a Year 12 student you always thought that the last term would be the term where teachers just put so much pressure on you. You'll be locked up in your room, burning midnight oil but this is not the case as a Scotchie. The amount of events and parties and argh...it was just endless. Term 4 began with a kick to the chin - Methods and English trials on the first day back, can't they be even funnier with that? Just 3 weeks in to the term and that's it, school is over. All sorts of gathering, valedictory, parties were all organized to say our goodbyes. It started out with the school valedictory dinner then followed by the boarder's valedictory dinner, Year 12 boarder's dinner with our duty masters, presentation night and of course 20th October 2006 - our final assembly.

First off; our Year 12 Boarders Valedictory Dinner

Mr. Glover presenting gifts to the Year 12s which we have to pay for (wtf?)

The Year 12s table

Year 12 Presentation Night - The night where every year 12 is given a red Bible which is a traditional gift from the school and it is also one of the most boring-est presentation ever! It goes for 3 whole hours and we're not allowed to move from our seats at all. It was so boring that I could actually kill someone. Before the presentation night, Mr. Galbraith (Dean of Boarding) had dinner with us in the Cardinal Pavillion and of all nights Spotless had to serve us such 'edible' food - Butter Chicken with Rice. WOW.

The long wait for 'good' food
Presentation Night - 'Awesome'

Ah! Not to forget, our dinner with Mr. Glover in the Kooyong Tennis Club was g-g-great. Had oysters for appetizer and a medium done steak. Yummy. Lots of cam whoring from the Deano, Sanft, Conor and Bizzy. Took a tour around the club - Mr.G was kindda advertising the club to us and tried to persuade us to join it. Hah.

I look so stoned....

The size of the chicken was the size of the plate. Bizzy: 'this has to be a mutant'

Cam whores

The night was young and fun was just beginning. We all decided to head down to Bubbie's house to get smashed, sadly Bubbie wasn't able to join us and Manton pulled out from drinking. So it was the rest of the Year 12s Mormons that dranked. Pretty funny the stuffs we do when we're drunk. I vaguely remember lighting up Louis' hair with his lighter and he went crazy and almost killed me. Somehow or rather we found a shopping cart and we got Louis in it and slammed down to a light post. Dumbass.

Something interesting - Kwok shot gunning beers.

Asian blush, Kwok is not Asian

Dinners, dinners, dinners just keeps coming. Then there was the unofficial boarder-parent dinner in Melbourne Club which has to be one of the gay-est club ever. No mobile phones, must have clean shoes, ties being done up neatly and all those gay stuffs. The only thing good about this place was the free flowing alcohol which I did not use to my advantage. We were all required to give speeches about what we thought about Scotch boarding and I think everyone done well for their impromptu speech.

Free flowing alcohol = Louis = Screwed

The Asians (4 Malaysians + Korean) Hah

Alcohol = Bad picture, gay people (Manton&Louis)

Highlight of Term 4 - Muck Up Week! Lets just say its a week where the Year 12s go crazy and do whatever they want to the juniors. Im proud to say that we're the craziest and most keen Year 12 group [ever] as we started mucking up a week earlier then expected. Started off by letting off fart bombs in the junior rooms, putting fish oil all over the carpet and cupping people with flour while they are sleeping. That night was a disaster, no one could sleep and the smell could make you puke on the instance. Other stuffs that we did can be seen in the photos below:

Year 11 mattress left on the roof

Took every single chair and dumped it into Steiger's room

All school shirts hanging on the Year 12s corridor

Bombing (water) Hackett

Tied up all the Year 11s, funny how they were screaming to get out

School shirts in the basketball court at 1am+

Every single mattress of the juniors dumped into the Year 11 block

And you'll never be able to experience this unless you're boarding! The final event was the final assembly (Torch Ceremony) and every Year 12 student was required to take the torch and across the stage and pass it on while songs such as Forty Years On, College Anthem, Boating Song and College Song was played. Every students yelled their hearts out and show their expression on how school is out - FOREVER.

One word to describe Scotch College 2006

Perfect

Scotch College '06 Nearly There

Almost everything comes to an end in this term. No more sports, Thursday activities, Wedderburn Cup, athletic relays, house country and the last ever Foundation Day concert as a Scotchie. Day by day as it goes by, you ponder 'man, I've never got to do that again'. In a way its a depressed and a joyous feeling. Not to forget Term 3 also means that it is the last term of solid school work as Term 4 is a revision term. Now I will start off with the Wedderburn Cup.......

Well, lets just say 06 wasn't the year for McMeckan - we lost it. Yes, I know we broke the tradition but somehow or rather someone has to do it right? Lets just say we brought the pressure off the Year 12s for next year. It was a really tight competition this year, after trailing 1.5 points in the winter season, we had to come first for the senior/junior basketball and football to bring the cup home. After winning the football and senior basketball it all came down to the juniors, and if we had won that we would have taken the cup by 0.5 points but after a nail-bitting game against Arthur Robinson, McMeckan was able to cruise on and reach to a win or die situation against School House. The juniors was able to hold off the might of School House and took the lead but wasn't strong enough until School House trampled over us and that was over for McMeckan. Sad faces, broken hearts, anger was seen in all the Mormons and it wasn't a day for us.

Foundation Day, 1st September - A great day of musical, talent and skills from all the boys. This night however was different, for the first time we were able to sit at the balcony and the view from there was splendid. Musical play from our musicians were top notch and to sum it up it was a perfect night.

Not to forget, 'Louis Bashing' continues this term but a little bit more crazier. Shaving cream, peanut butter, flying karate kicks and wet ties were all part of it. We even made a video out of the fight scenes with Louis. Lets just say it was plain stupidity.

As usual, Louis stands alone

Pressure Points

For those who are curious about what we actually do, download the video we've made - Bash brothers.

I guess that's most of the stuffs I could remember on Term 3 which was interesting to state and now to Term 4 - The term of terms.

Scotch College '06 The Second Chapter

Far-off, enduring, tension, oppression would be the words that describe Term 2. 82 School Days! The longest in Scotch history due to the Commonwealth Games held in Term 1 which made Term 1 shorter but Term 2 painful. Thank God for Easter, we manage to have a short lil break but it didn't really help much because after Easter we had our biggest Maths Methods SAC. Term 2 would probably be one of those terms that I love being here in Melbourne. Winter = Soccer Season! Trust me it is impossible to get a 11v11 game in Malaysia in a high quality field and guess what? We do this every weekend! I managed to play for the 2nds this year for soccer and its a season with high quality play, great goals, great teammates and of course a great coach. We started our soccer season with a lost and after that we never looked back, we just kept winning until the last game of the season which was the best game I've ever played in my life and the score ended up 1-1 which was pretty disappointing after we dominated the game. Not to forget we had our House Choral Competition and once again Bond came 2nd last BUT in House Winter Sports Day we showed them who's boss. Bond kicked ass and came 2nd in the tournament but it didn't prove to be vital as we were trailing way behind the Cockhouse Cup. Wedderburn Cup Winter Season is held in Term 2, Sports such as Soccer, Hockey, Table Tennis and Touch Rugby kicked in. McMeckan showed their quality this term and came equal with School House for the Winter Season but was trailing by 1.5points due to the total of Summer and Winter points and we reckon we could take it home in Term 3.

Louis' "Teamtalk"

Term 2 was also the mid-term examinations which brought most of the Year12s to a serious level and studying was #1. 3/4 Units Examinations was held during June 5-8 and it was the beginning of a really difficult year. Well of course there were times of mocking around, doing stupid things, having fun - *Louis Bashing.

Louis (Singlet) getting ganked by Conor (Black), Bizzy (White), Dean (Brown)

Whats fun without some backstabbing? Conor was pinned down by the rest

Things got a little out of hand and everyone just went mad

* So what is Louis Bashing? Pretty much taking out all your stress and anger into our fellow Year 12 friend, Louis Cotroneo and see him retaliate and laugh our asses off.

Other stupid stuffs that we did was drinking in the boarding house and the risk of getting caught will prove fatal as we will get suspended from the boarding house and my parents will actually kill me.

Jae Ho, Louis, Conor, Bizzy, Manton (All Smashed)

Ahh Louis, craziest guy I've ever met

Ah Hah!, The other major unofficial event was of course Scotch College 06 Formal! This has to be one of the funniest formal I've ever been to. Firstly, I did not go with a date because I cbf, May won't like it and it will cost heaps of $$. So I decided to go with Ben because he cbf to get a date as well. Haha. Ahh, and not to forget Marc Fong, his date Wei Lyn dumped him. *woospeshh*. Overall it was a pretty fun night, good food and of course lots of $$ spent. Sob.

That pretty much sum up Term2, well most of the days I'm trapped in my room doing work, lazing around and counting down the days.

I hate this desk!
