B u d d h i s t S i n T a k C o l l e g e SIN TAK SPIRIT Volume 2, Issue 3 I N S I D E T H I S I S S U E : 6A - class message 2 6B - class message 3 6C - class message 4 Wong Tsz Wai Community News reporter 12.21.2012 T H E BEGI N N I N G OR THE END? Myths about the apocalypse, or the end of the world, have been circulating around the world recently. The ancient Maya civilization of Egypt claims that the world will end on December 21, 2012. The Mayans are renowned for their precise calculations. According to the Mayan calendar, December 21 will be the last day of a significant 144,000-day cycle. Given what the Mayans have calculated, does it mean that the end of the world is near? It depends on what you believe in. People who believe in the apocalypse myth think that the Mayan calendar cycle, along with the world, will end on that day. If you believe in science and technology, then don't worry. Numerous scholars have proved that the date of 12.21.2012 is in fact a calculation mistake of the Mayans. Both the U.S. space agency (NASA) and the Vatican have recently reassured the public that the world will not end on this day. In BSTC, December 21, 2012 has another name: the beginning of the winter holidays!! The reporters of compiled a list of things to do IF the world ended tomorrow: 6D - class message 5 1. Get a copy of the latest issue of. You ll have something good to read while waiting for the end of the world to come. 6E - class message 6 2. Spend time with the people who you love the most. 3. Spend all your savings on travelling around the world or do whatever you d like. 4. Take the deepest breath that you can possibly take. You may be able to live a few minutes longer than the others. 5. Call Santa Claus to get him to come save everyone. 6. Eat as much as you can at the most expensive restaurant. You won t need to worry about gaining weight or spending too much money. 7. Watch all of the best disaster films ever made. You will know exactly what to do when a tsunami, avalanche, and earthquake all happen at the same time. 8. Yell out all of your secrets. This is the last chance to confess your secret admirations, declare your wishes, and admit your sins. It s now or never! W I N T E R H O L I D A Y : T E A C H E R S T Y L E How will BSTC teachers spend their winter holiday this year? I will spend my holiday with my husband, and we will probably have a candlelight dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Lau Ka Ki Ngai Ka Ho People and Campus Life Reporters I am going to spend my whole holiday by myself in southern India. I will first fly to the city of Cochin. After that, I will go to Chennai, which is the capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Page Design by Kwan Wai Ho

Page 2 6A SPIRIT, BURN A RABBIT! This is an improvised slogan created by one of our lovely classmates, Jack, on Sports Day. Do you still recognize the singing performance given by our class last year? We sang an acoustic version of the song I m Yours by Jason Mraz. Not only could we show our flair for music, we also had a valuable opportunity to bond with each other. Though we came second in the end, it was the first time that it felt like 6A classmates were getting close. This feeling will never fade. Here are some handsome guys from 6A.This photo was taken during the etiquette class in July, 2012. Boys from 6A are energetic and smart. As a member of 6A, we will endeavour to reach our goals and dreams. With the support of our classmates and our dedicated teachers, we can surely achieve our aspirations in the future! October 25, 2012 Our final sports day was a big day for 6A. After a month-long preparation, our masterpieces - from the class tee shirts to the handmade banner - finally shown to the whole school. You may wonder why we used canvas to make the banner rather than using traditional materials. That s because 6A wants to stand out from t h e c r o w d, emphasizing our desire to be unique. Let us shout our slogan loud and clear again: 6A spirit, debit credit! Page Design by Ng Hok Chun

Page 3 We Cherish What We Have The past three years of our studies can be described with one word - fruitful. We reached numerous achievements in different domains. We treasure what we have experienced and achieved. Most of all, we treasure the We have been in the same class for three years. Despite the small quarrels, we have developed strong bonds with our classmates, always helping each other without hesitance. Moreover, some classmates have raised the awareness of environmental issues in BSTC, launching some green activities such as the free-cycling platform scheme and the green-based city hunt. The green concept is deeply-rooted in our minds, and we know that we have to cherish what we have. We cherish our achievements in various activities. 6B is laden with talents in different aspects. With our unity and efforts, we won both the inter-class volleyball and singing contest last year. Through these competitions, our friendships have strengthened. As individuals, some of us excelled in inter-school and even nationwide competitions. For example, Cherry was a Star of Literature in Hong Kong, Zoe was the Outstanding Student of Kwai Tsing, Amy attained merit in the International Students Visual Arts Contest-cum-Exhibition, Thomas came in second place in the inter-school badminton competition, while some classmates reached the quarter-final of the Hong Kong-wide NESTA debating competition. We cherish not only the awards and titles, but the experience and what we learnt from the process. We hope all of us can perform well in DSE and cherish what we have gained. And, of course, we will strive for our Page Design by Shimizu Itsuo

Page 4 Who are we? We are 6C! Time flies as quickly and as silent as and autumn breeze. Time has taken away the distance between each of us. Time has allowed us to better understand each other in 6C. In these three years, we have made a lot of fond memories. We studied together, hung out together, sang together, performed our choral speaking routine together. We have shared joy and glory while encouraging each other. These are the members of 6C. We thank those who have shared their own experience, taught us knowledge and skills, and chatted and spent time with us. We have learnt much and have grown up, equipped with the skills to face the challenges in the near future. These are the teachers of 6C. Once there was field of pink seen on the sports ground. Once there was a pink flag waving under the sun. No matter how quickly time has passed, these memories have been engraved in our minds and will always stay in our hearts.

Page 5 6D---These words will stay in our hearts forever. We will never forget the experience of studying in 6D for the past three years. The main reason is - We are not alone, we believe and finally we did it!! Unbeatable Chairperson Champions of the Inter-Class Basketball Competition Basketball may be the symbol of our class. Being the champions of the Inter-Class Basketball Competition is an easy task, of course (HAHA!!). We still remember the scene where all of us were standing on the side of the basketball court, showing our ultimate support for our players. We certainly believed that their sweat would not be wasted. And finally, we showed that we could triumph. This was possible simply because we believed we can succeed! Multitasking pianist and yoyo player GOD OF BASKETBALL Singing contest A memorable experience Baby you light up my world like nobody else Yes, these are lyrics from a famous song by One Direction, and they also symbolize the unforgettable experience of studying in 6D. We will never forget how we overcame all difficulties and sang proudly on stage. Although we didn t win any prizes in the singing contest, at least we found that we have irreplaceable friendships. We discovered that we are a team and not just a group of individuals. As described in the lyrics, everyone in 6D will light up each other. Whenever someone felt depressed, all of us would generously declare our encouragement and support. Perhaps this is what is really meant by team Muscle Boy God spirit. ^-^ Our journey in 6D wasn t just about the singing contest and the basketball competition. There were many other experiences that we had together. Despite all the conflicts and difficulties that we faced, We are certain that our team spirit and our beliefs are the greatest driving force for us to succeed in the future. We just hope that in 30 years, we will still remember all of our classmates. Why? Because we are honoured to have studied in 6D, and we have met the best group of classmates in the whole world!! We want to thank all of the teachers who have taught our class in the past three years. And here is a sincere thank you to our class teachers Ms. WY Ng and Ms HL Lam. Without your leadership, we won t be the 6D that we are today! Page Design by Kwan Wai Ho
