It was English in the morning. We had another boring round of composition editing, and my group got rejected. We will have to rewrite the setting and part of the climax, as Mr Quek said it was leaving the main point. We also went through Daniel's group's composition, and their group is quite good, with mainly good English and a wide vocabulary.
Street Soccer was nice during Physical Education Lesson, but I did not get to play due to the amount of people wanting to play and the little time we had. There were many classes wanting to play also, so 1L only managed to send in 2 teams. The first match ended with 1L leading by 1-0 (the goal was scored by Andre). For the second match, I forgot the score, but I think nobody scored a goal.
We did some group and indivisual work during Chinese lesson. We are supposed to design a poster to promote sea-dog-oil. Finally, we decided on creating a flash document, as we have a computer expert in our group. For History lesson we discussed about the merger again, and Ms Sim gave us some worksheet to complete in class. I can't remember the reasons for the merger between Singapore and Malaya.
There was nothing much during music, and when I went back to the classroom they are playing with the big ball again, this time the ball split into 2 balls when kicked, and then more... They gave up the scattering paper idea, as I think it is too troublesome to clear up after a game of soccer. Badminton was nice, but the starting was not good. I was left with 70 cents as I forgot to bring more money. I ate a very plain meal that cost 60 cents, but it was fulling. During badminton, we played erm...badminton. There was also physical exercise.

Today
In the morning was Chinese. I forgot what we did.
For History, it was nothing much, and again, Jay asked Ms Sim about her opinion on blogs. I forgot what she said, but I remembered the long history lesson and the 40 minutes, talking about the Singapore's merger with Malaya that formed Malaysia. We discussed about why Malaya decided to merge with Singapore, and why Malaya had to wait 4 to 5 years before she decide to merge.
We played soccer during recess with a "soccer ball", which was actually many layers of crumpled newspaper. We played until the newspaper was to its last layer, then at that moment I was supposed to kick the ball. I kicked it, and many small bits of paper flew out, scattering on the floor. I borrowed a broom from the other class and swept the bits of paper up.
We went through the compositions during English, and some of the compositions are quite good. I felt that the compositions are well written.

Just Today
I have just realised that my posts have been getting longer.
Anyway, today there was Ms Seng telling us about the blog issue which was on the Straits Time yesterday. Ms Seng told us about some bloggers (5 girls) who wear their skirts too short. Then they were scolded by their teacher, but they were those rebelious kind, and they commented on the teacher's scolding on their blog, and said all kinds of bad things towards their teacher, e.g the teacher was jealous of their beauty, jealous of them wearing their skirts that way. In the end, the 5 girls were severely punished, and suspended from school for 3 days.
There was also this boy from a certain school residing in Bishan, saying ( in his blog) bad things about his school. This was also brought to immediate attention, and disciplinary actions were taken.
Next comes Science. Recently, we have been watching videos as there are no more examinations for that subject. We watched something about building the tallest building in the world, and the longest and largest ship that is able to accomodate many people at once. The construction fee is very high, so they have trouble building it. As mentioned in the video, since the comstruction fee is so high, the price to even spend a night abord the ship will cost a bomb, so not many people can afford to live there, so there will be no profit, so... Overall, the video is interesting.
Mr Quek went through some of the compositions written by some of my classmates. Actually, we went through three, the first about Supreme Commander Kia Wee avenging his dead father, killing the king. The second is about some crummy worm in the mango. I find that hard to write, as there's not many things you can write about this topic, hence the group came up with an idea - dreaming. They wrote about the guy being a worm, then waking up to find it all a dream. Mr Quek said that it was way out of the point, and they would have to rewrite.

Kong Chian Library
The library in Hwa Chong Institution is very resourceful. Equiped with a cooling air conditoining system, the library is an ideal place for everyone to study effectively. There are two very responsible librarians that look after the library, and they always greet me with a friendly smile whenever I step into the library. The view of the school from the top of the library is brillant as we can see the trees, bushes and grass, creating a very "natural" environment for study. I often go to the library to study and to use the resources, including the laptops, computers and books, including the atlas and some resource books that we can reference from. I find the books very useful and resourceful - there are a wide variety of books in the library. Students can book the computers or laptops for their personal resons. Of course, no playing of games in the library. Anyone violating the rules in the Kong Chian library sent out of the library, I think.

Marks Matter(s)
I got exempted for Mathematics in the exam. That's good. At least 1 less subject to study. Benjy got exempted from IH, and that means Geography, History and Literature. That's a lot. I wished I was exempted from IH too, as I am not good in IH, and exemption gives me a A1. I also got 65 for my Physics paper. Not that good, but the highest among Chemistry, Biology and Physics. That's good.

Year End Examinations
The examinations are coming soon, so I guess I have to study really hard these few days. Of course, there will be some exam pressure, but as Mr Edmund Teo said during the PCME lesson, stress come and go. It willl be over soon. Don't try anything silly... You just have to try until the boundaries of your abilities.

Projects Day Grandfinals 2005
Tomorrow there will be a project day grandfinals, and only those group that are up to a certain standard can take part, and it will be held in both the auditorium and the drama centre.
My group did not make it through the Semi Finals, so...
All Secondary 1 Pupils have the chance to be at the venue to watch the whole judging, but I will miss quite a lot as I have council duty ( stationary asher). According to the OS, we will be expecting 24 parents.

An Accident
Today, one of my consortium mates fell down, and injured himself. It must have hurt a lot. When he fell, Mr Toh (the PE Teacher) came to his aid immediately, and later brought him to the hospital, according to the consortium head. The iSpark Consortium head came in to our class and told us about the accident.
He obtained a swollen eye. I hope he will get well soon.

Am I allowed to say it?
Chernobyl was just a sign, an indication of the crime.
Collaboration by the human race in a malodorous disgrace.
I don’t speak of the lies about how safe it was
but of the game that despised living things, the foul
infiltration of mendacity that bleated maxims,
mantras. No side was innocent, all implicated.
Patriotic sacrifices were expected. Nothing
visible leaked out until those babies in the Pacific
but that was later. Every Australian home is a fallout shelter
said Titterton and we hated him. From the Urals
to Ohio we were saved from each other. Polynesia
sacrificed for three competitors in the Pacific sea
and now the subcon, as the smart set call it,
may be the next for some nuclear fallout and babies
arrive as though no threat was down the wind ...
not yet, not yet ... we will forget, we will forget.
