With the completion of the two-year course leading to our A levels and the receipt of the much awaited 'Acceptance Letter' from University, it might be safe to say we're entering yet another new era. But the obvious bone of contention this time out is how much we will thoroughly be enjoying this new realm that has just filtered our lives.
What, with all these claims of lousy teachers and countless students failing their examinations despite them being adamant they did more than enough to secure their continuation of the course... it definitely looks like we wil be delving very much in the unknown. This is unlike the SAC scenario, where I very much knew what to expect with respect to the environment, teachers and friends.
I have a bad feeling about this. I hope I'm not being pessimistic, but I believe we're in for a hell of a time, and we're falling headfirst into it. I think that for a while, our remnants of our great time at SAC may be our only morale raising memories. We simply have to cling on to them and stick together.
Only time will tell and give us answers. Hopefully they will be positive.
Take care,
Stephen (Picci).

Bring Back Happy Memories
September is a nostalgic time. It is time for me to go back a few months and relive all those great memories at St. Aloysius' College and St. Aloysius' College Sixth Form. I find it hence fitting to post here my original and Friggieri-unmeddled version of the 2007 Soirée review, just for your enjoyment:
Soirée 2007 Review
St. Aloysius’ College 6th Form sprung no surprises as yet another Soirée was held, filled to the brim with spectacle and talent. It has demonstrated how, year after year, standards are kept top notch. Smiles were exposed and excitement shared as the curtains were drawn to three hours of drama, music, dancing and entertainment. The culmination to the musical Jesus Christ Superstar was a result of ascending intensity, triggered by high-quality items which were jovial, rapid and light-hearted. There were few regrets at the end of the show, for it was an outcome of a superb effort from all involved.
The Soirée comprised no less than eleven items, with an astounding 190 students taking part. With the relatively shorter items placed before the interval, the second part wholly featured the musical – a 55 minute long rundown of the last moments of the life of Christ on Earth. As the guests were immersed in the opening dance Rock This Party, the St. Aloysius’ Choir was clearing its throat to sing a medley of Queen’s successes. Next up were the much-awaited Maltese comedies il-Kurunell u t-Traditur and Mara tal-Papa` which surely set the people gasping for breath. However the pause from amusement was only brief enough for Take the Lead and I’m Good, another dance to be performed - for after that, three sketches from Monty Python 15 Minutes With the Pythons followed. The tempo slowed down and the crowd became relaxed as Desert Ambush was performed, a two-in-one dance.
Diversity was plentiful in every sense, and this was proven through the Italian Play l’Avaro by Carlo Goldoni. As ever in every Soirée, it was then time for the surprise appearance of the Crew and their antics, directed by the stage manager Mr Jean-Pierre Portanier, pretty much the man behind all the show. The last dance of the day was a three minute Explosive, a mixture of Spanish, Ballet and Jazz. After the video Soirée in the Making it was time for the winner of the SAC Battle of the Bands 2007 Relikc to come on stage, grab that mike, beat that drum and play the guitar.
This year, SAC brought along Farsons as its main bar provider for the interval. The result was a superb success, and together with the help of the Parent-Teacher Association, our guests went back in the theatre refreshed and well-fed.
As ever, it was most fitting that the Soirée finishes on a high, and how could this be achieved without Jesus Christ Superstar? Taken from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 1970 musical, the theatre turned the time-turner by 2000 years and found itself in Jerusalem. The students’ voices were one melody as history repeated itself on the stage, coupled with proficient dancers and outstanding acting.
Much work was behind it all, but thanks to our organisers, sponsors mainly Go-Mobile, XFM, Pavi Supermarket, BOV, JB Stores, FXB, All Financial Services, Farsons, Saracino’s Café, Creart, Solutions Lab, Kryolan, Aphrodite, Michael and Guy and Hot Couture, as well as Fr. Rector, teachers, students and parents it was not only a success but an event we Aloysians will take with us for years to come. The SAC Soirée will remain a show of the best talents the college has always boasted highly of.

Mind Revision
As I woke up to this fresh, yet sunny day, my thoughts go to all those who, deservedly or not, are currently undergoing their re-sits. Much was I angered with the results of those who opted for a revision of paper. When most people received their slip of paper with the outcome of the revision, few would have believed that what was written referred to their own paper. This is all mind-boggling, at the very least. It is clear that there's something wrong with this bloody board - like a puzzle missing most of its pieces - and it needs to start afresh.
I truly hope that the performances of those taking the re-sit - and, being Aloysians, I know they have the ability to succeed - they can give a much welcomed response to these lunatics and prove they are truly worth the entry to University. Provided we have courage and faith in ourselves, we can all overcome the obstacles and carry out what our heart truly desires.
Take care and good luck,
Stephen (Picci)

The Big Bang
Well, it's Sunday afternoon -September's first. The music I'm listening to and the MotoGP race I'm watching is not livening up my life at the present moment, so I've decided to hype it up by creating my very first full-blown blog...
Well I know this is very much cause for celebration, but I'm not the kind who goes around partying for the silliest thing that arises in my very special world. I fully intend to keep this blog as updated as possible and will strive to put it up there with the greatest - such as Zekky's 'Cul de SAC', to name but one... the competition surely is tough (if there are any others worth mentioning do tell me :P)
Now, in order to keep the integrity of this blog, I guess I have to write something interesting. I know this is hardly close to funny, but today, as at 3.13PM I have visited the loo for a grand total of nine times. Word is that I'm close to reaching the record as shown on the Guinness' World Book of Records 2007, but I can give the full guarantee that this isn't quite intentional.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed wasting a meagre slice of your time and life reading this first entry. I will keep you all posted at my earliest convenience. Comments are very much appreciated. They help me to realise that this space is actually being visited.
Take care and let the September air fill you with pleasure. Enjoy the rest of the holidays and live a healthy life.
See you,
Stephen (Picci).
