Trip to SSC

Welcome to Channel News Zaisia.

Moving on, in today featured news...

Met up with Ivan and we left for the Singapore Science Centre. Long time never go there liao. But I still can remember the main structures and shapes of the buildings. There was this water play park and it looked like fun. Ivan had some Omnitheatre vouchers so we exchanged them for tickets. After catching lunch at McDonalds (which was un-crowded wad) and drumming around, we went in the theatre for the show. It hadnt changed =.= still 5 stories tall, which made me feel that I was about to fall everytime i look down. There were 2 movies showing --- one abt the deep sea creatures and the other about Mars. It was titled Roving Mars actually. So we chose that one. It looked more interesting anyway. There wasnt much people, and the show tooked about 40 minutes. Roving Mars was cool, featuring how the NASA scientists managed to get a rover vehicle on Mars. It was mentioned that the process took 7 months. They overcame the various difficulties, and eventually managed to send 2 rovers on Mars, named Spirit and Opportunity. These vehicles did their job well and discovered that there was water on Mars billions of years ago, a sign that lifeform could exist.

After the show, we strolled around and then Ivan's dad came to pick us up. I caught a lift XD.

Well, for more information, there's this webby, presented by Walt Disney Pictures.

PSLE RESULTS OUT!!!

Anyways, a few days ago, on 23/24 November I forgot which, PSLE results came out. Every year sure got ppl get abv 280 one. Well, perhaps they're muggers. Ok, this year the highest was 281, scored by someone from Raffles Girls Primary. Gratzzz. My sister's results came out too. It wasnt that bad -- she scored 262. I have a feeling she wants to enroll in NYGH next year. :S The students who got sick in the exams also achieved reasonable scores, and some of them scored hgiher than their expectations.

***Happy Birthday Kia Wee***

*beep*

On 24 Nov my sister went to watch movie with her friend, which is also our neighbour, for her birthday. It turned out to be Happy Feet. =.= There were a lot of advertisements and most of them are advertising for Happy Feet. Even received some kind of a piggy bank for free popcorn gift. My dad and I went to Bukit Timah Plaza to pay for the overseas trip in December. (more abt this later. stay tuned.) We walked around and found a store selling Malay Food, so I bought a bowl of noodles. Crapping XD. After that we went back to the GV Theatre, then after that, back home.

Today need to wake up early to practice piano. Oh yes, and Zacko informed me abt the class outing. So tt's another reason to wake up early. Haiz. So i practiced piano till it was time for my lesson, @ Coronation Shopping Plaza. Anyway I live near so I usually cycle there. 1215 hrs and it was over. Fun. :P My piano teacher gave me extra lessons. :::::

It was noon. Argh. Had lunch at home and slacked around. Then... time for class outing!!! Left house for Vivo City. When I arrived there were some communication problem, and I couldnt find where the rest were. So I just walked around keeping a lookout for them. Oh ya, I noticed a few things abt Vivo City that kinda changed since my last visit. First of all, there were weird people doing stuff like dancing on a elevated platform, dressed up in green uniforms. There were also people in yellow suits riding on some random scooters scooting around. Should be a promotion of some kind. Green and blue mesorangers were also juggling stuff and putting on quite a good performance which attracted many. Managed to find the class eventually, but one thing was that only abt 5-6 people turned up. There were ppl like zack, lkh, kai, shawn and cavin and me. So we proceeded to the cinema, but the Happy Feet shows are all fully booked till 6pm, so we had to switch to a cool 3D movie. It was not bad. The thing about 3D is that sometimes it make me flinches. Like for example a guy in the screen punches u. Presented by Walt Disney Pictures. btw, the show didnt start till abt 4 so we went and watch some random Hello Kitty show. There were some kids who volunteered. The contestants are supposed to follow the actions of the Hello Kitty and other characters', and the last person was supposed to win something. But there were a few contestants left on stage. So there was a vote and in the end, if im not wrong, a boy named Zack won. ... The others were also given prises.

Movie was great, shall nt eleborate further. Went home after the movie and reached home @ abt 6.40. Then I started spamming gb till 8.30 and blogged till now. Time flies.

This year I am going overseas to South Korea for the holidays. Will be leaving on 7/12 most likely and it will be spanning a week or so. Recently there were outbreaks of bird flu in Korea though. Hope the trip will not be affected, though there will still be the risk of having to go for an injection before departure to immune oneself against this virus.

That's all for now. BBB. going to watch I not stupid tooooooooooo le. BBB. :P

TeH hOls

Holidays are seemingly cramped with lots of stuff and activities.

Just a few days ago, I met up with the council mentors, Mr. Ben Lee and Mrs Koh. Haiz. Almost overslept and stuff. Waited for a while though. It was rather sunny, especially in the morning. I just found out that I hadn't bought my books for next year. Arhg.. Haiz. So I went and purchase the books... =.= Ok, the books aren't that heavy as I thought. Let's see.... Advance Physics for you, Biology Matters. Chemistry Insights, and Additional Mathematics. Yeesh. All the cheem books. Hmm. The crucible is kinda out of stock so it wasn't purchased. All the books look super uber* thick. It seems that Sec 3 is going to be a uber tough year.. lalala. Come to think of it, we musn't judge a year by its books.

On the other hand, first impressions matters a lot too. Ok im crapping.

Sigh. Ms Foo will be leaving us after 2 years of dinofication. :( wonder who willl be our next year' FT.

Go Figure.

ToO QuiEt?

Communication.Interaction.

It is in the school holidays that I realize that I hadn't been interacting much with my classmates. Haiz. I guess I am a little too quiet in class. Guess its a little too late now. Recently I read a couple of blog entries and I often wondered what I was doing for the past 2 years. Two years of academic studies. Two years of opportunities, and I let every opportunity go by. It is this aspect that I wish to work upon. In the future, I am going to be more outspoken. Hmm. Something like that. This is going to be one of my goals for the upcoming year 2007, which is also an improvement that I will have to make.

That's all for now. Currently drafting out the class testimonial. G'day everyone :P.

Holidays

I am back to blogging after some time. This post will cover mainly what happened during the school holidays, and what I am going to blog about soon.

Firstly, I realised that holidays are meaningless without company, excluding my bed. So I checked the EMB for something I could indeed doodle about. Ok, i chose SMRP (science) for the special programmes next year. It wasn't the best choice around, but I am quite happy with it. Second choice was EP. Entrepeu-thingy programme. Perhaps I wanted to try something that's new. Actually everything is new to me. Nevermind. I duno why I put that either. What I know is that Taylor chose EP, and Pnghy chose BSP, which is exactly what brings me to the next topic.

Most likely 2L will be split up next year. OK, there's no banquet that never cease. end. Whatever you call it. And no worries ever end too. But forget that. I must say I treasured the time in 2L. With all of the 2Leans. Whee. Time flies faster than a brick. Come to think of it, I hadnt been in touch with many people since the holidays stared. Only ppl like lkh, andric and taylor. Sigh. Diwi perhaps. (gaming spree...)

Since I forgot the next topic that I wanted to blog about, I will automatically skip to the next one -- about the iCouncil 'n iCMG retreat to Cameron Highlands. Most people didn't go for the retreat though. About 4 people from 2L went. Sigh. Anyways it was great. We stayed in Strawberry Park Hotel. My room-mates were Lester and Benjy. Cool combination. We spent 2 nights in the hotel. I slept at 10pm on the first night and 2.30am on the second night. Ok u can call it morning.

For this week, there will be nothing to look forward to, probably except playing com games and staring at the poker cards I bought from Cameron Highlands. Argh. Anyways I realised that friendships improve somewhat in the hols. lol gaming spree o.o I have become better friends with several people in 2L. Whee. That's a good thing.

That's all for now. I doubt the readership of this blog but anyway its a personal diary. Oh dear. That reminds me of the NYAA booklet that I have stashed randomly in the blue coloured bag I always bring to piano lessons, for my teacher to sign and give comments. Which is like early time to hand up NYAA. oh wells. I will be writing a class testimonial soon, probably around this week or so, and also blog about the retreat at Cameron Highlands in detail.

I wish everyone a happy and fruitful holidays. =)
