New year resolutions…

… seemed to have played themselves out. Or at least that’s how I saw it till some time ago. On further reflection, I found them to be a good mechanism to set or renew personal ambitions and goals.

So, if the Ex-Student Association was a person; I wonder what this person’s New Year resolutions would be? The mission statement for the association can give some direction — however these are useless unless backed up with acheivable targets (or even targets to stretch for).

So my resolution on behalf of this “person” is to work towards enhancing the school library; making it a place for inspiration and ambition. For reflection and for enlightenment.

The Aussies have already started the New Year.. here in Oslo, we will be ushering in the New Year with another Stanislite Mike Barretto and family.

Whatever our resolutions, I wish us success in 2007 in all that we set our minds to do! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Ever hear of the Binaca Hit Parade. No! Neither did I, until a kind adopted Uncle living on Bazaar Road just behind the Boarders Dormitories decided that the least he could do was to play that hit parade real loud for us boarders. And so, we learnt about Frank Sinatra, Pat Boone, Jim Reeves, Cliff…

    December for us in the boarding was a month to look forward to, and in my case (including a few of our gang) volunteering to assist Master Gregory and his son with the crib was at the top of our agenda. After it was all set up and ready to be admired we felt a…
