Last day of term 3

today was finally the last day of term 3
but it was still quite hectic.
original plan for today was to have our HCL prelim 3 paper in the morning.
However, the NYGHS sap school event is on today,
thus we were exempted from the exam in the morning.

Had morning meeting again
as normal dismissed them to duty
then helped out in some arranging of benches
then took my bag and got ready for the event.
Departed from school with the other 29 cath high student and 4 teachers
was late again.
There was like 10 student leaders and the rest were china student
no comments

Reached there at around 0850
with some other schools which arrived around the same time as us
the 10 SLs went to an auditorium to watch the "live" telecast of the event at another auditorium,
on the way up, saw jiahan from RVPS
then when we just got our seats, the emcees started introducing.

Everything was quite smooth for the event,
had a break in between and had a walk with the exhibition
and just look around the school
hoped to search for ideas for improvements for our own school
after taking the break, went back to the auditorium for the second round.
The second round was quite boring but still managed to learn some new stuffs.
for this event, saw quite a number of RVPS peopel
jiahan (same audi), huiwen n her close friend (forgot her name) - during the break
joshua during the break and joey (during dismissal)

after taking the bus back, had our lunch and the HCL students got ready for their "re" HCL paper 2
doing at the level 2 of the freezing library
managed to complete the whole paper (some parts quite tricky)

after that rushed for PB sec 1 interview
still on time for the first group
thanks tiger for buying us Mac
started to eat my mac quickly
quite hungry (dunnoe why also)
overall comment on the people coming for interview
some have potential, some were quite blur, some need to be more confident
reminded me of when i was sec 1
sitting down there, with dan beside me and the teachers in front of me
but now everything had changed
soon, it will be our turn to step down and passing down to the next batch.

tmr will be homecoming day
quite fine with tmr
some friends coming down to my sch
going to bring them for a tour
manpower will be quite tight tmr
and i am still going to be dunked at 1050
come dunk me if interested

have a lot of things in mind to put it in plan
have to do a lot more things
wanted to have more friends
close ones
and more outings with them
quite lonely at times
but i am still strong enough
but going to stick with my principles
but changed some parts to different organisation

"if not you then who, if not now then when"

Happy Teachers' Day 2009!!!

today is teachers' day
went to SLB room in the morning
where i found joel locked outside of the room as his key was taken by marcus
opened and went in to chat
nothing much to plan for teachers day as everything still lies with the student council
got ready with the morning meeting
where everyone was pretty excited
after some briefing for the concert later,
we presented the gifts that we had bought on sat to the 5 discipline teachers
after that, as per normal, the morning assembly
everyone was like joking around, not that serious anyone
who cares, its Teachers day

after the morning assembly, was asked to be in the hall for some briefing by SC
lack of communication and planning still led to some miscommunication
which sort of wasted quite some time
after that went back class for some 15mins lesson
on conduction, convection and radiation
there will be more class tests coming up so have to prepare them soon.
it was a long recess which was quite chaotic
managed to go to the hall to prepare for assembly
and saw some of the rehearsals, the dance was pretty nice
then the students settled in the hall
and awaited for the performances to start
the student leaders were busy settling the souvenirs stuffs
i was giving mrs tay her gift, which includes a candle with a holder, a voucher and a packet of cookies.
after that took a ricola sweet from ms tan
and we were finally dismissed

went back to primary school with andy
on the way saw jenna at sengkang lrt
went there signed in and i was just looking around
saw the head prefect (current) which obviously she does not know me
not sure who are the vice
they are much busy as a head prefect now as they still need to perform
while in my era, i was just planning.
Then went to find huang lao shi in her usual classroom
which she has her remedials with 6.1
went up and saw the bunch of 6A-08 people
saw emily, fangshuo, and people
nvr get much time to talk to them
then was like crapping around with the juniors
and later bumped to elton and gang and went off with them
saw sheryl, yuxiang, and people
went down to find mrs ng
and we starting a small gathering
with mrs ng preparing her DIY masks for her dinner today
started to crap with YX, elton, sheryl and jenna
and weiting came in between after her lessons
after that at around 3.30
we split our way back home
and actually meeting for a movie
but it was cancelled as only elton, sheryl and me wanted to go
maybe we can go for a gathering soon 6A-06
long time nvr see liao
hope everyone can turn up

more things have to be done
and my HCL end of year is coming in two days time
need more effort to maintain more studies

a sense of achievement

today was such an enjoyable day
as managed to get back most of the marks
today, almost all the marks for all the papaers were check
and only additional math was not yet confirmed as there were some change in the marks
I was super happy with the marks for this term
and I had to sustain this result to get As in the overall
as first semester did not perform that well

so these are the results

Eng - 71 (A2) first A for english in CHS
HCL - 81 (A1)
E math - 84 (A1) not so sure
A math - should be around an A2
Physics - 75 (A1) careless, need to sustain all the test marks to get higher, but SPA still highest in class
Bio - 74 (A1) bio master this round, but overall still quite low, B4 only, final year will prove all
Chem - still not sure
Combined Humans - 82.5 (A1) SS was overall well done, History a bit lower then expected
Geo - Still not sure, but not too good for common test

so currently overall 467.5/600
and average 77.9%
but some of the subject i had expected to not do well

few more weeks to final year
which i certainly do not want to slack
and waste this term effort

This camp is useful and also taught me many things.

After the add math paper and biology,
I waited for the recess bell to go off
and i am officially dismissed
to go for the survival training camp.
I gathered in the store after lunch break and gotten ready to go over.
I went up the bus with the sec 2 to accompony them with jacky sir.
Long time never see him already.
Took a short nap and reach the jetty very shortly.
Went to assemble and soon took the bumbboat over and gathered at the basketball court there
I was later assigned to group three
and was briefed by the camp cord, ziyi maam and mick sir.
Our group was called Nike
and we started planning our cheer and stuffs.
More and more schools join in gradually and more familiar faces were seen.
My group have Wen hao, Chuan Kai, Daneesh, Weimin, Jia Wei, Jasper, bryan, gavin and mroe and mroe.
After that, we started the camp with a treasure hunt.

Dun have bag check so proceeded on with tthe admin and stuffs.
After that pitch tent,
was in the same tent with shaun, weimin, jasper, felix and jiawei
was the first group to pitch up,
competing with the full cath high grp.
This year the meal is much nicer,
no need to cook as all are combat rations.
then was campfire discussion

Went around ubin during the land expedition
with Desmond sir, vincent sir, jiahui and wenqi maam.
Quite fun but it started raining
so delayed and did not manage to finish the whole journey
went by the dirt track/shortcut
back to the campsite
came back with a pair of muddy shoes.
gotten back and known that the IRC did not manage to do anything due to the rain
got ready for the jetty jump
everyone was excited about that
i jumped the second
when step on the board, the feeling was so intense
the few seconds seemed like hours when dropping down
then whoosh it went into the sea
shiok is the only feeling i felt
after that clean up and prepared for lunch
everyone was waiting for us
after lunch was IRC
i was looking forward to this

debriefed and slept

third day - last day
suddenly woken up by fire drill
rushed down and started the tekan session
but still managed to pull through
i think the clearest memory i had was the fire drill
and i still managed to learn the most thing in that.
The punishments and style given by the instructors
their orders impressed me

so nvm
continued with the other activities
and was debriefed by SMS
