I had a dream - of the wide open prairie
I had a dream - of the pale morning sky
I had a dream - that we flew on golden wings
And we were the same - just the same - you and I
Follow your heart - little child of the west wind
Follow the voice - that's calling you home
Follow your dreams - but always, remember me
I am your brother - under the sun
We are like birds of a feather
We are two hearts joined together
We will be forever as one
My brother under the sun
Wherever you hear - the wind in the canyon
Wherever you see - the buffalo run
Wherever you go - I'll be there beside you
Cos you are my brother - my brother under the sun

Hey people let's have our yearly chinese new year eve outing at chinatown again this year?? A couple of people requested for it. So keep ur new year eve's late night free (after the reunion dinner!) and reply at the tagboard whether u are interested! :]
I remembered telling the guys that our batch was the 'last dynasty' of runners that was capable of bringing the cross country title home 2 years ago. This prophecy was delayed time to time as Mr Ang contemplated on quiting on numerous occasions but somehow it didnt came through. And now finally it has been realised, however, to many's dismay.
The current Acjc team saw a couple of changes as the new year came. Firstly, mr ang officially left the acjc team in the hands of Mdm Lin, otherwise more known as yuan bing's sister, to be in charge of the team. Secondly, acjc and acsi will be going separate ways in their trainings. no longer teaming up to form a huge training group that we frequently saw in the past. These 2 major changes will more or less impact the acjc team pretty hard as they seek to stand on their own, without mr ang's brillant guidance, since he took over the team more than 10 years ago. Thus the new year began with a 'big bang' and created a brand NEW acjc team along its way.
How will the new team fare? Will it carry on its proud tradition or wither away like a flower that blossomed in spring? That we cannot tell as it is up to the juniors to continue to continue to brave the new path, not alone of course, but also with the help of people like us that came from the same team. Afterall, we are all here reading this because in one way or another, acjc cross country came into our lives and touched us. As short as it may seemed, as distant as it may be, it was at that short moment of our lives that our souls were intertwined and our bodies bled for one another. And not forgetting the true friendships are forged through pain, laughter and tears. Perhaps we are very much like fireworks. A moment of flash and brillance with wonderful colours in the sky, so lovely yet so short-lived!
Let us hope that this will be the dawn of an even better team.
i would like to end with this haiku by Etsujin.
Covered with the flowers, Instantly I'd like to die In this dream of ours!
