----EOTA----

EOTA was a success, though it was sometime back, my computer crashed because I deleted something from C: so Im using my sister's computer to blog now. Back to EOTA. Early in the morning (actually not very early) we left in a luxurious coach and headed towards the wonderful Kallang Water Sports Centre. The trip there took sometime time, and by the time we reached there, it is around 11am (If im not wrong of course). We had to wait for teh SJI people to clear off and finish with their prise giving session. Instead of just stoning around, we (sailor pnghy) managed to catch some games on taylor's mobile. Now it is time...

Excited as a brick, we queued up and realised that the boat can only take 20 people at the most. So Lester had to go to the other boat. Hmm.... Took our life jackets and the paddle. Then climbed in the boat. Then we're off!!!

Lalala. I must admit that my muscle ached so much within the first few minutes that I slacked a little =). Sat next to Taylor (he took the left side since he was a left hander). I remembered someone splashed water on everyone behind him, thought it was Jay. Well, we rowed on.

Row row row the boat. No, not down the stream. Its up (sigh). Halfway the instructors saw that we were generally scared that the boat was going to capsize that he decided to rock the boat. He assured us that the boat is not going to capsize and asked for someone to volunteer himself to test the lifejackets. lol. Jay volunteered (did he?).

Splash! Down Jay goes. The instuctors showed us how to assist someone to climb back into the boat. the method was qutie simple - just wait for him to hook his legs to the edge of the boat and then 2 people pull hard on the life jacket. In the end, we all jumped into the salty water. :S It was quite fun actually. Like a swimming pool, expect that it was much deeper and saltier. I floated around, waiting to be 'rescued' by someone on the boat. Ok, im quite heavy, but 2 people (i forgotten who) managed to pull me up.

There was a race between the 3 dragon boats and we won.

----Holidays----

The long awaited June holidays started badly. Found that I will be quite busy in the holidays, not enough time to do ACE, not enough time to study, not enough time to play, not enough time to slack, not enough time to go for EP3, not enough time to do almost anything....

On Friday I played pokemon crystal for about 6 hours till my computer went bonkers and crashed (unfortunately). So there was nothing else to do, just banging on the piano and going to sleep about 2 hours later. Saturday I woke up early and drummed on the piano, then ate lunch and went to my piano lesson, then bought some bread from Delifrance in NTUC in Coronation Plaza, then went to my grandmother's house. Sounds boring. I guess on Sunday i have to finish the zuo wen that I was supposed to hand in on Friday but didn't. Oh no...

Dreaded Assessments

Next week there will be 2 tests.

Science and Mathematics seems easier this year compared to last year. Maybe its only Science? Last year I failed Bio but this year I passed =). Ok, I guess Maths is harder, but Mdm Tham made it easier by focusing on quadratic equations for the coming Maths test.

Today there is nothing much. From morning till now I have been revising the two subjects and its starting to get a little boring. I think my MSG for this term is going to go up again as usual. Hmmm... A bad sign.

Bad day

Today is a bad day, so that's why I blog to destress.

Firstly the day started badly. We (sailorp pnghy) chatted a while before flag raising (ok I admit I wasn't usually that early and today I did not reach school that early). Then HY went for his sabbatical and me and Taylor went for our sabbatical, which is the Mage, the Prophet and the Nuclear B0mb. Hmmmm. Now I shall give comments about this sabbatical.

The sabbatical IS fun. Though intellectually taxing as Mr Quek has said, I find that I am able to cope with what the co-trainers taught me. It deals with Literature and the fun part is that everyday we're going to watch a movie, then analyse it. So part of it u can slack. The co-trainers are Jerrold, Benjy, Andre and Yi Yong. They learnt the topic very well and their speech during the sabbatical was good. Overall I think the others enjoyed it too. Today we watched "Contact". Tmr according to Andre it will be Terminator 3000 or Terminator 300 or Terminator 3. Something like that.

During the 40 min break I went to the library. To my suprise (well actually not really) I realised that HY wanted to interview taylor and me. For his sabbaticals perhaps. HY asked us about some racial harmony stuff and we answered, with taylor going first. He filmed it down. lol. :S

After the sabbatical (we're dismiised at 1.30) I went to eat lunch, then rushed back up to the library for the IRS which I later found that HY cancelled the IRS session. So I stayed in the library for a while more before HY went and eat his lunch. I went for badminton training.

Went back home at 6.30 after a looong and tirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring training (especially physical training, u know the usual - pumping, running, blah blah).

Wah! I heard we all now got big big debate. They say future of proper English is at stake.

All because stupid singlish spoil the market, want to change now dunno whether too late.

Aiyoh! Ang mo hear us talk like that oso want to faint. Even our 'U' graduates speak like ah beng, ah seng.

Singlish is like rojak, everything throw inside anyhow mix. Got Malay, Idian, Chinese and English, can give and take.

When you dunno something is under the table or chair, you ask loud loud," Oi! Under where? Under where?"

When you see somebody behave very bad, you scold him," Aiyah! Why you so like that?"

When you ended up in a traffic jam, and got stuck, you complain," Today I Èû³µ kana very jia lat."

When you warn your kids to be careful all the way, you tell them," Careful har, you better dun pray-pray!"

When you see mooncakes with many egg yolks, you say," Wah! This type good to eat, very shiok!!

When your friend mistook your mother for your aunt, you disturb him," Alamak! Why you so blur one?"

You write like that in exam you sure die liao. Teacher mark your paper oso kee siao.

I dunno whether you agree with me or not. I just simply sharing with you my thoughts.

Singlish is like the garden weeds. You pull like mad still would not quit.

Sure got some ppl like and some ppl dun like. Singlish and English, they'll still live side by side.

Sekali our Singaporean identity oso lost until dunno go where. Even orang-utan ah meng start thinking like a polar bear.

But still muz go I.T.otherwise become swa koo, only smarter than Ah Meng at the Mandai Zoo.

Wait the whole world go I.T., we still blur as sotong, next time we all only qualified to sell laksa in Chai Chee.
