Teacher's day gift for band conductor

Today mostly slacking.......
Met up with colin and lot 1 to buy a gift for band conductor....mr kiang...
Actually, we really had no idea what to get for him........
First planned to buy CD but our senior say "no" so......
Spent another few hours wondering around the place and calling our seniors once in a while to check what to buy......
Planned to buy a photoframe with our band photo in it but no photo.....
In the end, chose to buy some car accessories for him since he got a new car.....
But we couldn't find any car accessory shop so I was tasked with buying the stuff myself......then left.....
I managed to bought it just some hours ago.......and i have to do the card too........
Anyways, hopefully our conductor will appreciate it.....it's the thought that counts......

Term 3 result

I'm sooo HAPPY with my MSG for this term.....1.71!!!
My best MSG for 3 terms!!!
And I beat the class average of 2.34!!!!
And I got above average for ALL subjects!!!
And I got highest in class for IS AND MATH!!!!
Sadly, part of the remarks was "needs to improve his language skills"......
Anyway, I still got 2nd team prize in SMO Junior and school was awarded $500!!!!

Today first fetched wei heng to prize presentation...saw lim jeck and jonathan there...
the prize presentation was a little boring but still we endured....
Wei heng got $30 and i got $50!!!
Heard that lim jeck, who got 6th, got $100 and his senior, got 4th, got $200......
Still, i think i can't really compare to him....
Then after that was the buffet lunch and it was GREAT!!!
Me and wei heng ate to our fill....HAHA!!

Then he came to my house and we facebooked.....went to library and facebooked.....then came back to my house and facebooked.......we were addicted i think....
Then he went home at about like 9......
Played a lot yesterday and today......need to chiong homework next week......and stop this playing or there goes EOY exams........

Teachers day reunion

Sorry, yesterday didn't blog because was doing ACE!!

Anyway, today was teacher's day..
The concert...I can't say it's GREAT but it was certainly GOOD...
After that went to hog the teachers in the staff room...managed to talk to quite a number of them...

After that went to HPPS at about 11...

Today was the teacher's day reunion...
Quite fun I should say...

First went to hall to watch part (little actually...) of the concert... I think we had record number of gepers who came back....30/34!!! We didn't really meet much of the teachers tho...just chatted for a while then left for Westmall...

First went there to have lunch...abt 25 there...

Then after that deciding what to do next......we had already planned to watch a movie but i think nobody voted for the movies anyways......
Decided to go bowling so walked to CSC to book lane but no lane.......so our name went on the waiting list...CSC arcade not open.....so walked back to westmall instead to play at e-zone there...
only 20 people left after that though cos some people were in uniform and went home cos they were bored.....

Spent about $5 there...I finally realise how fun para-para is!!!
Me and mich were addicted to it i think...we spent like $5 on it......

After staying in the arcade for about 2hrs...walked back to CSC and found 2 lanes.....I think only left about 15 people there...

Then bowled for 2 games....(some bowled 1) until about 6.30..........
After that went home.....
As usual, we didn't follow our original plan...in the end we had to decide at HPPS......
I think next time when we plan a reunion...just say we are going to have a reunion...and plan everything else on that day....
I can say that our class is quite close to each other....5 reunions in 8 months.....LOL!!
Some classes barely manage to have an annual one.....
Of course, we must always enjoy the happy times together....before it's too late...
As time goes by, we will probably be reuniting less often because of the busy lives and the loss of contact (hopefully NOT)....

Anyway, hope all of you readers have enjoyed your teacher's day celebration (if you had one) and to all teachers who may be reading this....HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Busy....

Now damn busy cos got a lot of homework now as teachers going full steam to revise...
So can't blog much today...

Anyway, timetable still screwed up....
First period supposed to lit but history teacher came....

Now still got teacher owe other teacher period..lol...

Need to start on hw now, got tons to finish...
Holiday hw also got a lot....i think same as June holidays......

Screwed up timetable

Finally starting on work again......
Have to start getting used to the workload AGAIN due to too much slacking in sabbat week....

Anyway, our timetable this week is reallly screwed up....
Yesterday, half of the class "played truant" by "accident".....

It was supposed to be drama lesson 2nd last period so we went to black box at SALT centre as usual....
Then waited for 40 min Zhou lao shi still hvnt come then period over so went back to class...

After that realised that only half the class was there so a few ppl went com lab to check...

WE MISSED A WHOLE IS PERIOD!!!

SOMEBODY was supposed to come and inform us but that SOMEBODY didn't bother to come and so the whole lot of us didn't know......
At least the mr yong accepted the explanation or 5 demerit points......

After that supposed to be eng then wait 5-10 min mr chen nvr come....
Someone said that now sci need to go LT3, nobody trusted him...
Then really got science lesson at LT3....

Today, after weiqi supposed to be sci, 5-10 min mr tan nvr come....
Some ppl went com lab check got IS lesson or not...
Then zhou lao shi come.....she had the suprised look which meant "didn't anybody inform you?"...
Then had to call the students back and had like half of original drama lesson...
Then sci again....

Our class the swapping of lessons is crazy....
Now i think sci still owe eng 1 lesson, or sth like tt.....

Still slacking...

Here's the actual post for today...
(BTW, if you haven't read the previous post...read it)

Teachers still haven't really started on work and revision yet but i think i better start now...
Anyone seen my animal farm?? I can't find it so if anyone sees it pls inform me...

Today's assembly programme was super funny...
The topic was on personal grooming and i think the presenter made it one of the most funniest presentations that made the whole sec 1 laugh their heads off....

Some of the stuff were a little sensitive but some of the language he used made the presentation super funny...HAHA!!

No band prac after next tue till EOY exams...YAY!!!

Slacking.....

This was supposed to be yesterday's post but my mom shut down the com before i could post it...

Anyway, here's the post:
(BTW, today here means yesterday and so on....)

Today was slacking the whole day......



I really need to tune back to work mode and FULL work mode....

Haven't been doing anything related to studies for the past week....

Actually, i think that teachers (and maybe some students) prefer not to have this sabbatical week because it cut shorts the teachers' available time for teaching making them rush......



Next week onwards...I need to start revising for EOY exams already...have been slacking too much for the past half a year...



I should stop staying back after school just to play table-tennis in school till late in the afternoon or doing nothing in class...



Should get home ASAP and start on hw (hopefully not getting distracted by anything else cos i get distracted very easily...)

Damn late now, need to slp early...bye!

2nd IMO training

Yesterday too tired after performance so nvr blog....sry

End of sabbatical yesterday....finished with optical illusions!!
Some of them are quite interesting and we made 3D glasses of our own and watched 3D videos!!!

Then finished with a quiz which seemed harder than what we learned but still ok... i don't need the ACE points anyway, i'm just there to learn more things.....

Anyway, yesterday performance was quite nice...the audience actually clapped to the rhythm of our second song!! I didn't know we played that well......

Then, went to keep instrument...had to bring 5 double basses from drama centree to outdoor band room (just beside music room)...ahhhh!!!!!

Then released at 7.30 pm......got home like damn late......
too tired then slept early......

This morning went for IMO training this morning...
Answered almost all exercise questions in class and finished after that!
I think that what i am going to learn, i have already learnt before in the training given by hci...but that increases my chances of getting into the senior training!

Next week is the prize presentation...only got 12th though but nvm....

Sabbatical day 4

Went to sci centre today...
Did not really do much there...just completed a worksheet and made friends with wei jian...
It seems that i made friends with wei jian just like i did with clarence and coincidentally they were primary school classmates and are now in the same sec sch....LOL!!
Both of them are my good friends now but little chance to interact cos diff class and diff consortium....

Today went back to sch to help out with band stuff to prepare for tomorrow's concert...
We had to bring 4 double basses to the drama centre from outdoor band room.....MAN it was heavy.......

Then we did some mass stapling of booklets....a lot A LOT of booklets.....

Tomorrow an orchestra from nanjing coming to our sch to perform and we perform for them....
We are playing our JBF songs......Who's coming to watch???? Mr Tanbb invited the sch to come....(or was it sec 1s only....)

Last day of sabbatical tomorrow...wonder what we will be doing???
My titles seem useless right now....i think they are just reporting the date....LOL!

Sabbatical day 3

Played with colours today......

Today finally went for ec3.... Slacked for like 1 hrs reading funny e-mails and chatting with clarence, edmund, eugene and covie...Colin didn't come today for some random reason....
Found out that i got 1.86 for MSG!!! Same as clarence!!! WOOT!!!!

Then did some programming with edmund as clarence and eugene needed to do ALICE...
I can see that edmund needs a lot more help than i do......I wonder how he got into ec3???

Anyway, i now finally know that i have very little true friends... I spent most of my recesses and lunches walking around the school all alone for no reason or staying in class.....
I spent about 1hr today walking from JC side to poolside and back all by myself as I could not find any friends...and colin didn't reply my sms.........

Anyone who just wanna be friends with me and not already are pls tag...I'll appreciate it...

Tomorrow going science centre yet i dun seem interested in any way.........

Sabbatical day 2

We made holograms today!!

Sadly, i think my hologram will be a failure cos i forgot to do something.........

Today was the ispark table-tennis competition...
My very first match was with a table-tennis school team!!!!!
I got thrashed 7-1,7-5....
It was just for fun anywayz.....
OXY was so lucky, his prelim round 3 opponents never turn up!!! Auto walkover....so lucky...

I can FINALLY go ec3 tomorrow after not going for a few WEEKS!!!
Programming should still be ok......

i got 72% for lit!!!!! Highest so far!!!!!

Rather short post today cos nothing much happened.....

Sabbatical day 1.....

Sabbatical day 1......

it seemed quite boring at first...copying down notes...listening to powerpoint presentations...doing worksheets......

one time the presentation was about reflection so the first slide only contained the word "REFLECTION" and we were all discussing like "still haven't learn anything yet how to do reflection...???"...LOL!

Then we made a klaidescope (any problem with the spelling???)...
Didn't really work though......

Then we played with lasers and made patterns with spinning mirrors...
I didn't know light could be so fun and fascinating!!

and....SINGAPORE GOT SILVER IN TABLE-TENNIS TEAM!!!!! WOOT!!!!
It's not that easy to beat china considering it has the world first and world second...
But this is the first medal in 48 YEARS!!!!

I feel so happy for singapore.....

NUS math training

Was quite busy yesterday so no time to post....

Anyway, yesterday was the NUS math training...
The lecturer was from NUS and he taught us stuff that me and wei heng already learned before...LOL!! We spent like 15 min learning and the other 2-3 hrs doing questions....questions....and more questions.......... Lucky got break in between, i can't do math for a loooooooong time although i like it...

Couldn't go ec3 last fri cos fri band got something inportant i had to go.....but i confirm this wed must go.....MUST!!! Band ask us to buy black longsleeve shirt...black long pants...black socks....black LEATHER shoes...by wednesday so that can perform for CEP concert...
Aren't they a bit too much???
In any case, spent half of today buying all those stuff... totalled to about $60...still ok lar i suppose.....

This week sabbatical week!!!! No lessons!!!! Joining enLIGHTENMENT this time...anyone else??? Please tag... My ACE almost all max liao... chi 14...eng 15...human 20...sci 17 (yet still going for this sabbat)...math 38!!!!

OUR SINGAPORE TEAM HAS MADE INTO THE FINALS IN TABLE-TENNIS!!!WOOT!!!!

Anyway, HAPPY WEEKENDS AND SABBATICAL EVERYONE!!! :)

Even more results........

Not much today actually.......

English oral got 23/30....WOOT!!!
My tests english average 45/60 A1....WOOT!!!

Lit still not out.....science still not out......sianz.....

Hopefully i can get 1.something for MSG considering my scores so far....

Haven't gone to EC3 for a long time.....have been doing programming on my own though...

I can TRY to go for EC3 tommorrow.....just try to appeal..

Next week is sabbat wk!!! Approaching the end of school!!!!
Sadly i chose a sci sabbat and sci max ACE liao but ok lar.....just go for the knowledge...

There is no band prac next wed so i can finally go to ec3 for sure!!!!!!

Now awaiting other results.........

More results.....

More results came out today...

IH i got A1 !!!!
Got 75 for geog and 85 for history..........
Lucky my IH ace max liao, 18......

Eng oral speech today wasn't TOO bad and i got back the situational writing.....22/30!!!
I seem to be improving this term by a lot.

And....finally the ACE is properly updated...
My chinese got 12.....i didn't even know i did so many projects...

Science 15 liao......got ICAS high distinction!!!
Wasting my time on sci sabbat this term....thot not enough....

BTW, who wants math ACE??? I've got 33!!!! I think that's just too much........ only need 15!!!

Now awaiting other results like lit and sci and if i do well...i think my MSG this term can less than 2....woo hoo!!!

Oops.....almost forgot

Almost forget to talk about my math results...

I got 39/40 for math....for me that's below average (well, in a way)

first test got 42, 2nd 39, 3rd 42, 2nd 42 and now 39.........

i got 0 for bonus question........ That's "unnormal" for me....

well at least i get exemption....

I've got too much ACE for math!!!!

I got about 30...... Wish i could add to other subjects or exchange with friends or just donate it (cos some people are despo for math ACE and other ACE.......)

IMO training

My SMO results was sooo good that i got chosen for IMO(aka International math olympiad) training!!! YAY!!!! :D

Other people like Wei heng, Benny, Jonathan, lim jeck, gary,.......are going too!!

I can't actually believe I did that well for SMO considering that i AM battling against sec 1 and 2s...... I think it's because i did well got 2nd round....(got 20/50)

Also, i can't believe me, colin and darryl got 5th in brainy triathalon!!!!! (well, considering that it was open to sec 1 to 4s.....)Sadly, the ACE could ONLY be awarded to math since majority of it was math and my math now got 25 liao.....*sob*.... At least award 2 to math 1 to eng????


I got A1 for chinese test!!!!!! (Finally.... after getting 51% for term 2 test.....)

And.......band practice is now only on wed and fri!!!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, i can spend equal time on band and ec3......
(Soon, i can spend all my time in ec3)........

I kinda feel a bit left out in band since i AM the ONLY instrument in the band and i don't have any seniors or section mates........ I NEED FRIENDS........

Well, at least i still have all the happy stuff to make me HAPPY today.... :-D

Slacking......

Today's a non-school day!!!

I think i've been slacking too much this weekend. Term 3 tests are ALMOST coming to an end (still got eng speech) and i think i did a bit too much programming this weekend. Anyway, not much to do now except finish some ACE.......

I think i shall slack till tommorow........

080808 reunion

Today was the national day celebrations and i performed for the parade....i think i anyhow play cos i barely prepared...Most of my friends saw me i guess......

Anyway, to add on to yesterday, what is the use of me going for the morning session if i just go to the field and stand there??? In that extra time i could do something useful.....

The main topic today is the 080808 reunion. Although only about 25% of the people came but it actually went quite well. Me and matthew were released at 9.30am and reached henry park abt 10 but then most of the teachers were going off so it wasn't really much of a student-teacher gathering.......

The RGS girls came at abt 11 and after that we spent about 3 hrs deciding where to go for lunch...LOL! The RI boys came about 1-2 so we decided to go SUBWAY for lunch...
After that spent another 1/2hr figuring out where to go next......

Then went westmall arcade and cinema (sadly, i couldn't join either cos i was in uniform and i was broke.......) so i went home instead.......

This shows how UNDECISIVE our class can get, especially when it comes to reunions....it takes "forever" just to organise one......This reunion was screwed, hopefully the 290808 one will be a lot better......

FYI, the Bishan Gay is IN THE PAPERS!!!!! (thx clarence for telling me)

Band.....Sianz

I believe those from HCI already know that i am in the band who plays in the morning without instrument...

I kinda feel a bit left out and useless.......
I dunno why but just standing there listening to the band play in front of everyone seems wierd......
At least i get something to play even though i play a large (not to mention huge...) instrument like colin, suppose to play bassoon get to 'pretend' to play the clarinet.

And.....i now officially dislike band!!! Hopefully none of my band friends or seniors will know about this blog but yes, i dislike band!!! The practice is too strenuous (not to mention long....), i can't take it any longer..... It's depriving me of my sleep in the morning too. Especially tmr, need to reach by 6.30 AM!!!
I don't really feel committed to band at all.....first half still okay but now i find that band is not my dream cca in any way.......

This is the main reason why i am trying to appeal to go to EC3. At least i feel quite happy in ec3 and i am devoted to ec3.... I still continue to do programs once in while and i think i am better than some ec3 classmates like edmund...

Sadly, i think i'll have to stay in band for at least till the end of the year...
After that, i've already made up my mind to go ec3 FULLY...

Also, i think i'm going to flunk my exams... I think i did quite badly for all......

I think i'm just too stressed these few weeks with all these exams, CCA, etc, all stuck in my head... I really need to find some time to get a breather (not to mention now)...

Now, I still got 1 more exam to go, english oral...
I know that term 3 is coming to an end but wierdly this doesn't seem to be making me happy in any way....

To think that i was sooo happy yesterday....

I think my emotions are going crazy...look at the titles of the last few posts...LOLZ!!!

Sianz...

Happy!!

Sooo many good things happened today, sooo happy!!!!

Sry for not posting for sooo long, need to mug for sooo many tests (still got two more tests tomorrow)......

Anyway, i'm posting 2day cos i came home early and have some spare time to spend.
Nothing happened in the last few days actually, except for maybe all the tests.

The SMO results are finally OUT!!! OMGOMGOMG i am ?th in sch (u can find out from me thru e-mail or msn or anythin', just ask.......better not put it in public in case SOME PEOPLE think i'm boasting) which makes me sooo HAPPY!!! I got 12th national......quite good actually but i lost to lim jeck (AGAIN.....) who got one of the top 10. Actually can't compare lar, he much better than me. Surprisingly, i didn't see Jonathan Ang's name in the top 30???

Anyway, that was just one piece of good news. Secondly, my music practical went sooo well.......
My scales and songs went very well, my sight reading was almost perfect and my aural....if i'm not wrong is almost perfect too!!!!! To think that my whole body was shivering inside (not cold...nervous). The examiner was very friendly and commended me well. Hopefully this means good grades.

And my counter hit 100!!!! YAY!!!

Another moderately long post.......Once exams are over i'll post more often so that i don't have to squeeze everything into one post...

Need to mug for sci now...........

Lots of stuff

My blog and cbox has been dead for days.......

Anyway, thursday was the AMC... multiple choice questions were generally ok but the open-ended (after checking with wei heng) got some wrong, at least i tried all.......

After that was english test, took me like 15 mins to think of an idea....LOL!

"Decide what you want to do with a sum of cash donated by a former student that would benefit the school population as a whole", it was so similar to one of the previous speeches given by mr chen "A local businessmen donated a piece land two football fields big with an old large building on it, decide what you want to do with it that would benefit the school population" and i took so long.....Rofl Think my handwriting was rather illegible considering how fast i was rushing...

I shall not mention why i was pissed for the past few days, will make me pissed again...

Yesterday was the last hip-hop lesson......*sob*, well it was fun performing in front of others...

and i missed the RI-HCI united shield cos of band prac......*sob*...

Today's brainy triathlon was so-so lar...me, colin and darryl were rushing like mad cows!!! We were supposed to solve a rubik's cube first (left colin to do it), after we finished then we did the words aerobics (basically guessing common phrases or words from pictures such as milonelion is one in a million.....) and then the sudoku puzzle. (in case u asked why we didn't do all at the same time, the rule was finish one before starting the next in that order) the irritating part is that for every puzzle unsolved or incorrect, two mins was added!!! 30 qns....imagine if you didn't do all (1hr......LOLZ) and the sudoku if do wrong or never finish.......DISQUALIFIED!!! I think we lost out on the words aerobics but the rest we finished quite fast and we were on of the top ten teams to finish everything (Except for adding the words aerobics extra time...) Sadly they only gave top three, the rest all participation so we didn't get anything (well obviously since it's sec1-sec4.....)

OMG......I made such a long post!!!!!!!

nvm.....got four test to mug for next week, espicially lit(cos i suck).....argh!!
