It's quite odd to be reading about your schools on Wikipedia. Some of the sections in each page were seemingly written for students or alumni members. [or maybe not. I'm not coherent.] It's kinda a third-person narration, yet you kinda feel and know the unspoken stuff about topics raised inside the Wiki.
It was really odd that RJC goes into a very personal tour of the school facilities, even mentioning the facts about faulty airconditioning system, seemingly disused chat rooms, students mugging after school in the classrooms, a 7-11 store [wow, how soul-stirring that was]. There's also a discussion of the House System and the Council committee. And if my memory isn't faulty, there was even something about "tau pok" previously. Which was a rather confusing concept at first. =)
Most interestingly, the WSM/Derick/PAP MP controversy stuff. She has her very own Wiki page, which is ... really not a good thing. There is nothing like these on HCJC and NJC's Wiki. Of course, having such a small sample size, whatever hypothesis obtained is not representative.
And I kinda like River Valley's Wiki page too. There's an entire few sections dedicated into explaining how "unique" [well it is, that i can't disagree] the uniforms are, and even about future plans for the uniforms. [NO!! I like the old ones. With easily rippable painful metal buttons.]
And a whole list of the 3 Sustained Achievements thingy in Sports, PE, and UG. Which was quite nerve-wrecking i suppose, a few consecutive years of it, all it needs is just one miss, to lose the awards entirely. Hm, but a check of the Wiki, didn't make any mention of any consecutive Sustained Achievements Awards other than in 2001. Which is weird. I could have sworn the banner was updated at least once more, after 2001. And definitely, NCC did certainly get the Gold award for Best Unit Compeition in 2005... Unless it was a requisite for the Girls to get Gold too... Ah, I can't remember, all I know is I didn't get a good clustering at the annual Marksmanship competition or something..., which was included in the Best Unit scoring system somehow. It was pretty last minute stuff; I didn't even know I was selected [or even the top 3 of the Charlie cohort o.0 ] as part of the RV NC team until the day itself.
Why was I wiki-ing schools in the first place? I was trying to find the link for RJC's Maths Department answers for the revision exercises.....
Ah... the link was pretty darn obvious. I must have been really sleepy or something.
Oh yeah, check this interesting out-dated review of RJC: http://gssq.entori.net/writings/rjc.htm
Konjiki no Gash Bell rocks!! Don't say it ain't.
