Founder's Day

Hello,
            Today is Founder's Day, and we celebrated it with a walkathon.No lessons today :) We went out of the school by the back gate, then came back in through the front. Fortunately it was just a walk :) I heard that sports players have to walk a longer distance. After that, the Lower Secondary was dismissed and the Upper Secondary had to stay back. We were given an isotonic drink and an apple.
             Soon, we were back in class to rest for a while. It ended at 10.30 p.m. So while on the way back to class, someone poured the drink on T.   
T got angry, accused me. I touched his face lightly, he shoved me to the ground the 4th time!
:(
T is so violent...
After that, I went to the Library to return the books. I walked to the C.O room. Wei Qian was there. rest a while, then help to tune Chee Kiat's Gao Hu. Wei Qian saw me,  showed me, then said I have the potential ... But, I want to learn how to play, not have the potential to play. The last time Wei Qian thought I was joking, but it is true, I really do want to learn how to play the Erhu. I practiced my Suona, under the guidance of Wei Qian. Since when did I like to play the Suona?  I really don't mind practising the Erhu. I don't really like Wind instruments, because of the need to blow and erm hold breath.
           
  So later when Lin lao shi came at about 1.30.  ,    Chee Kiat and Zhe Qian also came along. At that time, Lin lao shi said, if you want to change to Erhu, after SYF I can transfer for you. Bear in mind that you need to buy the instrument. Buying is no problem, I just want to practice until I am good .
For now, I have to practice Suona.
Bye

Cow Planting

Hi all,
         Today, the school planted cows to brighten up the school I suppose, partly because of the cow year. The Year heads and HODs planted cows on the grass patch beside the parade square. So Cute... 
           During Chinese, the teacher did not come. Get well soon :) Then we read Chapter 6.
For Home Econs, we made Spaghetti. Joshua took a bit, then he gave all back to me. It Will be my recess then. For Maths, we were told to finish Worksheet 5.3.
          For Music, we learnt more about jingles, beat and rhythm. For History, we finished the topic on Japanese Occupation.
           Went to TEN to play mini-pool 
Tomorrow is Thursday

First Day of Term 2

Hi,
     Today was the first day of Term 2. There was so much homework to do,  not forgetting CCAs.
I didn't do well as expected, because of careless mistakes :(
During Science, we went through the Worksheet that was given during SPA.]
For History, we talked about the Japanese Occupation, which was helpful for our Project.
During English, we looked through our Homework that was given before the Holidays.
1. Cross-word puzzle
2. Making sentences
3. Newspaper Article Summary
Many did not do, mainly because of an error.
we were given --- http://www.newsforkids.com instead of www.newsforkids.com.sg
For Chinese, there was ting xie.I could not study because of so much homework!!!
Went through a Comprehension passage.
Moving to C.O
We had the combined practice for a while, before being dismissed for sectionals. During sectionals, we used a tuner to get out note correct. I could sing the correct note, but playing was a different story:( After that, I practised Fong, the parts I am not sure.
I zonked out, couldn't think for that moment. Mental  block, I don't know. 
I need more practice. SYF is inches away, can't disappoint anybody.
SYF is not a competition, it is a judging. That's the difference.
Don't feel too nervous, just keep calm.
Everything will turn out well.
Bye

C.O was so fun

Hi,
     Today's C.O was super fun, in the beginning. I think that was after the 20mins break. Then, Wei Qian was sitting at the Zhong yin Sheng. Cheek Kiat asked me to sit at Wei Qian's seat, beside Chee Kiat. He wanted to hear me play. However, I could not hear the other wind instruments. the Huqins drowned the Guan Yue. After that, everyone started switching instruments.
  So fun. Zhen Yi could play, Suona, Sheng, Percussion instruments, surprisingly can play Erhu so well on Sai Ma.
      At 12.pm, there was a break. We went to  85 and ate curry rice. After that Chee Kiat treated me to bubble tea, in exchange to do History project, too unreasonable. $ 5 each from Zhe Qian and Chee Kiat would be better. Then we walked back to the school back gate.
       C.O commenced at 1.15p.m, that was when Lin lao shi came :( Can't switch instruments.
We changed seats, now there is a better, and unobstructed view.It ended at 3.oop.m, because lin lao shi said we were very tired, no point staying until so late.
Bye 
Need to do History!!!

Indoor Sports Hall (ISH) | Results Day

Hi,
First, there is History lesson. Why were the Japanese so strong in the war? There were many reasons, one of them being the British underestimated the Japanese. History home work was given today. The topics---- Japanese Occupation: A "japanized" Singapore and a period of fear and terror! or A period of Propaganda, Poverty and sufferings.
I think I am going to choose the first one.The deadline is 26th March 2009, quite reasonable.
During Malay, we learnt about the Malay wedding.
During Chinese, we went through the Chinese vocabulary for the test on the 2nd week of Term 2. Those who failed Chinese have to do a newspaper report that is >300 words.
During Science, we finished Dynamics and talked about our CA1 results. For English, Mrs.Koh did not come, we were asked to do the Comprehension worksheet that was given long ago. So, although we were the best in Science, sadly, we were the worst in English :-( I think the book quiz should not be counted( 20%), which means 1 mark in book quiz= 1 mark in overall.
1 mark in Comprehension=4 marks in overall !
The Book Quiz was not even fair. Some got multiple choice questions, some could refer to the book, while some was open ended.
As I chose the open-ended, I did badly. The trouble with choosing simple books. 7/20 :(
The Comprehension was O.K, except for the Vocabulary section and the last question. -5 marks
Final score 15/20.
Well, I sort of guessed correctly my score, while many did badly:(
Every mark is important, mainly because of the weightage of the test.
For Chinese, I didn't study, thus I got an F9.
Although for Maths I got A1, it's still a Band 3 :(
Science was quite ok...
Art could have gotten more|A1
Home econs was a relief, thought I got low marks, in fact it was A2
History was C6/59.3 Could have gotten B4 /60+
However, the overall results were not that promising :(
B3 | 67.40
Mainly because of Chinese.
It's OK I shall work harder to get at least 70 in the overall. I have to improve a few marks in each subject.
On a softer note, we watched the Sports Spectacular, which consists of Table Tennis, Netball, Wushu, Badminton, Softball & Basketball.
It's quite good, considering that they have been preparing for a year or so.The indoor sports Hall is a new addition to the school. So it is the venue of the 3 -on 3 basketball competition. However, I feel that it doesn't have this grand look (Sadly) It ended about 4p.m. Then, something funny happened. Terence accused me of turning on his light for the whole period of time. It was so funny, he even asked for compensation. Tee Hee Bye

Maths Common Test

Hi,
      Today we had a Maths Common Test. It was doable , but quite tedious. After that there was maths lesson. The homework is to complete Heymath, all 25 questions. For English, we got back our report. The one Wilton ans I did was atrocious. A            D       grade is somewhat bad. I don't think I can get an A for next term's results. Sad + Depressed. NEWS REPORT MUST BE DONE PROPERLY!! We are doing Joe's, Yu Xuan's, Zhe Qian's and Chee Kiat's group skid. 
It must be in Chronological order------------follows the sequence of events.
       During Maths, we learnt about how to make  a the subject of an equation. Then we were told go home and practise the questions.
        During SEL, Mdm Tham came and split us up into groups. Then we were given a few pictures, and we had talk about them. These pictures are all socially unacceptable, so we have to comment on them.
        After that, I went to the Library to return and borrow books. I could not go for CCA as I had a sore throat. I think I can only go on friday.
        So sad, I need to do Home Econs now....
Oh no, tomorrow is Home econs. I think I am going to get 60% for CA1,
I can't believe it.

Home economics/ Project work = depressed & worn out

Hi all,
          Today was  a really bad day. Got back Chinese Papers, I got really low... I didn't really fill in the blanks. Received Chinese Composition, I just passed, as a result of not writing a minimum of 800 words. At least the HCL class composition can be brought home to do.
Next is the worst section of the day. Home Economics/ Project Work made me depressed today. Joe didn't come today. Ended up, we had to do his section for him. I was really worn out. You know I stayed back 3 times. One during lesson, one during RECESS, which meant I skipped a meal, and one after school. I was really glad that it was finally done. We had to skip SEL/FTI because of that. It was quite interesting as Mr.Wee talked about the Gaza Strip, and what is going on there. The reason being, the school wants us to be more up to date in current affairs. We celebrated the birthdays of Pei Xuan , Rebeka & Koek Ching.
         After that, I went for Chinese remedial. Talked about family in the short paragraph, which we have to memorise. I went to the Eagles Nest with Jerome after that. We played mini-pool together. I saw Terence, Wilton, Daniel, Zhen Shen inside. I played yesterday too. Well, I rather play mini pool than Counter Strike. It just isn't fun.
    I went home at 4.30p.m
