Update

Yesterday was a very hot day. It also happened to be the GEP open house that the iCouncil and the iCMG first organised together. The OSes were Yong Quan (iCouncil side) and Jia Wei (iCMG side, also happens to be my badminton senior o.O ).

I soon found out that I was an usher stationed at Blk B from Taylor after coming late for the briefing at 7.40 (I came to school at 7.20 and took several turns to find the ops room). So I positioned myself there with a never ending smile =). I must admit that it was quite early in the morning and no one came, so it was boring. Then after a while parents started filling in and I guess we all had a whale of our time trying to usher the parents.

Some of the parents were quite friendly, while a rare minority were quite unfriendly. However, it still went well and I even shook the hands of a parent. My role is to usher the parents to the clock tower then pass the time to Jay who is sort of stationed there.

After some time most of the parents came, so I returned to the Ops room to slack. Then someone suggested playing cards and so we started several games of Big 2. It was bad though - we are not supposed to be playing cards and returning to the Ops room at all. I found HY and we went to the poolside restaurant to grab some snacks, erm actually ice cream. Seems pointless to eleborate more, but I bought a cookie crumble flavoured ice cream and ate on the way up. We met Lester and he was busy spamming the vending machine, at the same time carrying many packets of Mamee noodles. He was actually buying for other people in the Ops room.

Nearing the end of the event Ushers were needed at the refreshments area - food =) . Taylor and I were the only ushers left in the Ops room. Our role is to inform the parents who are queueing at the students section to proceed to the adults section, and to inform the students who are queueing at the parents section to proceed to the students' section. It went well.

Soon, there were a shortage of parents to attend the Students' Sharing Session or the Parents' Tours. Everyone went to inform the parents of the events. Then I went back to the globe area and found a family of 3 looking lost. I approached them and ... they asked me where was the registration place and was there a talk in the Auditorium. Obviously they just came.

Oh no...

I duno what to tell them. So instead I just went back to the Ops room and rest.

After the debrief I ate with Ivan at poolside and went home shortly.

Update

I do not know what to blog about today.

Update

Today was quite good. I came to school early to sweep the floor? Ok, ok, I reached school at about 6.50 or 6.55 I forgot which, then I started SWEEPING. Why? To make up for Thursday - I forgot to do duty. Afraid to be fined. Ahh, Jay is getting more serious.

Lessons. We were taught about ionic bonds. Confusing, lucky to have a pro sitting beside me (Taylor) who clears my doubt. End of Science, next comes Mr Krison's period, wheee. We - oh crap I forgot what we did. Let's move on.

During recess I bought the usual chicken pie from the usual store in the usual canteen where we usually buy our food.

We went to LT3 during Chinese. Found out that there were students from nan shan sec school. Yay. I was sitting beside a nan shan sec school student o.O. I said hi. He also said hi. The students got ready some presentations and I was suprised that they did not have much of a special chinese slang for chinese students, just like Singaporeans. Their Chinese was good, speaking fluently and occasionally peering around.

Hmmm. Maths time! Think of Mdm Tham. Ok, today I think the rest of the ILP groups presented. Some were confusing like the Standard Deviation, guess I have to consult Mdm Tham or Benjy.

I rushed down to the canteen and bought a curry pie then quickly rushed up for Geography lesson. Ms Foo covered the water resources topic today. It was good and I followed her till someone cracked a joke somewhere. Then Ms Foo asked me what she said previously. Guess I will have to pay more attention in future. :(

Com studies time. We were told profusely by Mr Cheong about what will be tested. Study hard, do revision often. Nothing much after that, then we went to have lunch at the canteen with pnghy and taylor. I went for badminton shortly.

Update

This week is the IDS week, focusing on humanity. There were hardly any time for us to finish our project.Ahhh.

Update

Sorry for the long period of totally no updates.

Well today is Sunday so there's nothing much to blog about. Now I am stuck at revision for Science, revloving around the three topics.

Ok ok, on friday I just realised that badminton training is until 8 everyday. Crazy. 2pm to 8pm, that's about 6hrs everydaY? There wasn't much people left at training from 6 onwards, only about Nigel, our captain, the coach and some really enthu people like Alfred and others.

This links back to the Sec 2 Parents Symposium. I am an usher.
Halfway during badminton training when Zack and Zong Xian pulled me to LT3, and there's a nice meal waiting for me =).
After that Zack briefed all the helpers and we went to our respective venus to start ushering. Parents were filling in already. First I was at the path between poolside and the clocktower, but there wasn't really much parents walking by there so I went to the open air carpark. Benjy was there waiting for parents. Hmmm.
Next I went to the poolside area and met Wei Jing. It was getting late.

Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!

Yesterday was Chu Xi. We had a most wonderful renunion dinner, starting at 6pm. I was playing maple from 1pm onwards, fooling around, then night came so I paused for a while. Then I played again till 1am, logging off at Florina Beach, killing Torties. I managed to get several Tortie shells. Someone threw this tortie shell really high, so I asked him how he did it.

Ok, so we have to jump and dorp the item in midair while descending make the Tortie shell go really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really high.

So I tried very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very vyer vyer vyer vyer very very very very veyr very vre yvery very vrey vrer yvery ver y hard. And I succeeded.

Today was the fist day according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, so I visited many of my relatives today, got several angbaos =). Then I went home and found that my other relatives were there too, and I wished them happy new year. THen more angbaos.

Now while I am posting my relatives are watching the television; loud music of the superstar (chen weilian) singing his songs is blaring from the speakers. Oops, sry now its some dual singing by 2 pro singers, with the superstar playing teh piano. And now my cousin passes me a oreo buscuit. =). They come in packs of 1 oreo cookie each --- waste of plastic resources. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa now the TV got nice music bye bye i go watch TV so i signing off.

Btw i heard blog cannot get ACE. ?!??!#$@#$@@@

Today

I took a ss with fireblare124 with cai shen in el narth today.

Science is hard with all teh DNA stuff and the RNA stuff and the amino acid stuff. Getting more confusing.
The CHinese teaher is a philosopher, according to pnhy, and she teaches us confucious or confusious sayings. gu zi yu ming ming de yu tian xia ze, xian zi qi guo, yu zi qi guo ze, xian xiu qi shen, xian xiu qi shen ze, ....
Ok today is a happy day

Updates

The holidays ended so fast?

1 Major event during the holidays is the Sec 1 Orientation. We were dismissed everyday at around 8+pm, and by the time we reach home it is around 9pm. It was quite tiring. I recognised some students from my former primary school. The events ran smoothly, and as the helper I stayed in the Logs and the Ops room almost all day. THe other day I was playing cards with the other helpers in the logs room to kill the boredom.

Threre was a AAR of the whole thing afterwards. Many of the buddies gave feedback on the event, and told Alfred about some of the things that happened. Like someone losing a shoe.

I am going to work harder in the new year, and get a MSG of 2 or lower (hopefully). Some of the former teachers still came to teach 2L.

Happy New Year!

Today

There's nothing much.
1L chalet was quite nice, but it was a bit tiring.

Today

the holidays are here. It is so boring. I signed up for several courses so I won't feel so bored. I will be missing badminton training on Friday.

Today

Today when I tried to play Maple Story the whole screen goes blank then suddenly very blury and there were weird lines here and there. Weird. Then the whole screen goes blank again. I think I will not play till the next day...

I also tried reading other people's blogs now. Some are updated almost everyday, while some are still lagging at the first day of exams. I heard that Benjy started a blog... Anybody knows what's the URL.

The badminton training was not bad. I came a hr late, and had to run three more rounds at the track. Then it was the physical training, we did the push ups. Ate Lunch at poolside, and it was fried rice with eggs.

Now killing green mushrooms is like. Whenever I kill one I glance at the screen half expecting some kind of panlid to appear. So far I killed about 2300 green mushrooms and no panlid. Think I will need to scroll stolen fence.

Today

Today was a great day. I was at home the whole day with nothing much to do except reading and rereading those books found in the book shelf. They were interesting but boring. And finally it was time to look forward towards the chalet event. Hopefully I can meet most of my classmates there! And I think most of it is sponsered by Ms Foo... Yay. However, she wants us to pay some $$ for the chalet too, so if I am not wrong, we will be bringing food. Ms Foo even told us she wanted chicken wings. If I am not wrong, we are going to deposit our bags at Zack's place as we have to move out of the chalet by the next day. Then I not sure, maybe some fun bowling trips, or swimming at Wild Wild Wet.

Today

The holidays are coming.

Today there is supposed to be street soccer, but there was a very slight drizzle and a gentle breeze, so the street soccer was either cancelled or delayed. We watched a movie instead, and it was qutie nice.

Had lunch at poolside today with Taylor and Kah Hong.
I ate some fried rice with a chicken wing. Nice.

Today

I got A1 for Chinese. That's the first A1 since Maths. Hm... I should qualify for promotion.

I got more marks than I expected in my letter, thanks to people in my class for their good phrases. I memorised some of the very good phrases in the model compositions and used them in exam. Then in the end I was quite happy with my results.

Same thing as usual: I had lunch at poolside and ate fish with fried rice. Then I bought Maltezus (small bits of chocolote) at the vending machine. I spend the time before badminton at the library, and stayed there for 90 minutes.

Badminton was fun but tiring. We went through the physical training, and most likely I will have muscle aches again...

Today

Exams are over...

Now usually I will play Runescape with Taylor, Maple Story with some of my classmates or just playing Lord of the Stars. Its quite fun.

There seem to be a pull factor of school, and that is, the fried rice. The fried rice sold at poolside restaurant is quite nice. Together with the fish fillet, its worth the money.

EP3 starts soon after the exams, and it is back to the same exercises I usually do for badminton.

We will be getting back our papers tomorrow, dunno how much I will get for each subject. To get promoted to be sec 2, we will require a MSG of 6, and I hope that it will be easy to achive.

Today

Exams are visible when you peer round the corner. I am pratically staring at my files and my worksheets all day. It is quite boring.

It is the weekends. Most people don't study on weekends, but I have to because of the examinations. So far I have crossed out English, Mathematics and Geography, but there are still many more subjects to go and I only have one more day before the EOYE.

Today wasn't that fun. Despite the oncoming examinations, I relax sometimes too. Sometimes I play soccer with my neighbours. Ok, today is Saturday, but let's talk about Friday as there was not much happenings on weekends to eleborate on.

English was the first period, if I hadn't forgotten. We went through some intense philosophy training, and Mr Quek was there talking about if one travels at the speed of light, time stops. There. That is the key to living forever.

Physical Education was not bad. We played soccer, and the other team scored one goal. However, we still managed to achieve the 1st runner up. Not bad. The other team was the last when counted backwards. To be precise: my team lost. When I went back to class, the usual chaptek kicking people was there, kicking chaptek.

Today

In the morning was Chinese. Ms Seng came in, and we went through the test paper. It was complicated and tough. I think I mentioned it before, but anyway I got 47 and a half. It was not bad.

After two periods of Chinese, it was finally recess, and some of the people played the chaptek while others went to buy some food and eat. Benjy was running the catering services again as usual. I went down to the canteen and bought a packet of rice. Then I came up to the classroom and played chaptek. I managed to kick the chaptek several times. I went back to my seat and found that some people are taking pictures of us playing using the visualiser. They managed to take a picture of Benjy.

The next period was supposed to be Science, but Mdm Tham took over. There were three periods of Mathematics, and we were supposed to complete a mock exam paper. Mdm Tham called out those that were exempted from the subject, and we were supposed to come up with the answer for the question paper. Quite an interesting task. So we went to the library and spent the next 2 hours there, attempting the questions. The question I was assigned to was ok, but I spent quite a while on one question. People came to help, then Wei Jing finally got it. After that most of us read comics, while few attempted the questions.

Art was nice as we watched the videos. We watched some of them. I feel that it must have taken them a lot of time to come up with something so creative. English was about the same, and we went through the Literature questions (actually answers) did by some group.

I ate at the poolside restaurant for the third time in a row. My lunch was some rice.

Today

Anyway today was not bad. For chinese, Ms Seng has finally got back our Chinese papers. I got 47 and a half. Not bad.

For Mathematics we went through the revision paper. It was quite complicated.

For recess Benjy's catering service has reached it's maximum number of customers for today, so I had to buy the food myself...

For assembly I was almost late. I was quite lucky, and came in before Mr Hon. We had a interesting talk about blogs.

For English we went through the Literature questions.

After that I went to the sschool library before going home.

Why is there a pop up thing?

Today

For Chinese today we performed on love's needle ways. My group also acted. I played the role of the Cannot be named person, the guy who like his ring so much he jump into the fire with it, and some guy in star wars. I did not actually know the content well. Some of the groups that came before us were quite good, and I enjoyed them.

For history Ms Sim came 10 minutes late and left 5 minutes early. So we only have around 25 minutes of History. Ms Sim told us that it was because of some oral defense thing so she will be late, in fact all our Literature, Geography and History teachers. That means Mr Quek, Ms Sim and Ms Foo. Ms Sim went through the worksheet on merger.

Recess was nice. We played soccer and I scored some goal, mainly due to other people, as they were kicking the ball I saw the chance and scored, not sure if its called quick reflexes or ks. There were a few injuries during the game, and Nelson's glasses were knocked off the lens by Jia Jie. It should be very painful.

Next comes English. As we finished editing the compositions done by the groups Mr Quek sorted us into, I thought we were going to do some worksheets. But they started going through our Literature answers. It was quite boring throughout. Han Yong was reading some Wu Xia Xiao Shuos, and he found several components of Defeat Dragon Eighteen Fists.

Maths was nice but complicated. We went through the revision worksheets, and Mdm Tham handed out several pages thick revision worksheets. It is due on Monday. Before Computer Studies, I went down to the canteen to buy some food (popcorn chicken). Many people saw the chance and asked me to buy food for them. So when I was heading to the computer lab later many people glanced at the packets of food (all popcorn chicken). They probably thought I was some really greedy person.

Today

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.
