It's been long since I've posted, so yup here it is again :D

School's fine, and we have gotten our test papers back. I'm pleased but at the same time, disappointed. Oh well, on the bright side, most of the tests are over (except for 3 more next week :/)

We have been practicing really hard for syf and we are determined to get the Gold, even better, Gold w. Honours! We have about 1 more month to practice and this is our last lap, jia you SMSB!

Sports Day is on next Thursday and it'll be at Clementi Stadium heee. It's pretty far from my house so I have to get up early :D I'll be out in the sun as I will be helping out, hahahaha apply sunblock lotion 8) After that week, it will be the long awaited March Hols. Yessss I've been waiting for this holiday for the longest time hahah and there will be band exchanges! Quite excited for it as this will be my 1st time attending.

There will be Masters Class tomorrow, I'll try to update regularly yeah.

YESSSS the week's finally over. We'll still be having another A Math and not forgetting, Chinese tests next week too, but it's time to relax a bit yeah (:

I was quite shocked for English, as in the topic. I didn't really know what to write about (oh well there goes my pass) so I wrote a very standard essay gah. HMT was o_o it was all about the cheng yu and I could not remember much.

Next was E Math. Wow this is the only one which I am hoping for a good grade. I had quite a breeze doing the paper and I did the whole paper again so as to double check my answers. I thought that the given time was rather long.

Social Studies was done similarly notwelldone. I struggled much for SBQ and for a moment, I blanked out at the SEQ. It was my very first SS test.

We had the Bio paper today and I am v. v disappointed with myself. I had to blame myself for not studying even harder and focus on the main points of the questions :/

Band tomorrowwww!

Haha, I locked my blog for fun 8)

Happy Belated Birthday Eunice!
Finally 15 yeah!

Jingwen, Yi Li, Abigail, Eunice and Eunice Tang went to Thomson Plaza after band today, Yvonne joined us later and we had a fun fun fun time celebrating her birthday.

Jw and Abigail had to visit the washroom, but they went to buy the cake for Eunice. Yi Li joined them aft that. We all left Subway and when we passed Hans, the lady passed the cake to Yvonne, thinking that she was the birthday girl hahaa that part was hilarious, and then Eunice took the cake hee (:

Stood in the middle of the mall while watching Eunice eating the cake. This was not over yet. Yi Li and Abigail went over to buy the bear for her, while we walked to Popular to not let Eunice see them. While trying to put the bear inside her bag, we even distracted her asking "wowww you got new bag ah?" hahaha etc. We had a hard time stuffing all the things back, and she found it in the end. Had a great time with all of them!

--------------------------------

It's been long since I posted, so yup. I've been having tests last and this week, while there will be an upcoming Chemistry test :/ Never in my entire secondary school life I've been so so worried for Geography test and it was only on a chapter LOL. Bio test is okay, but I'm a tad bit disappointed though.

SYF soundcheck is on this Sunday and I'm pretty worried yet excited for it. I do want to feel how it will be like during the actual syf and I'm anticipating for it :D

Time passes really quickly and it will soon be the end of week 3. I've been a Sec 3 for about three weeks and I could really feel the stress now. The amount of homework we get is already an example of the difference between lower secondary and upper secondary. We get homework everyday, and also the amount of things we will be learning. It will be much more in dept, and difficult. gahhh.

Chinese New Year is on the 26th Jan, which is this coming Monday. We're going to have a long weekend, but we are also given many, many homework :/ haha I'm not done with the buying of new year clothes. It will not be a half day tomorrow and there's prefect's induction after the celebration. Grandpa will be back tomorrow and I'm looking forward to the reunion dinner (:

I've been really clumsy these few days: got a brown (??) bruise on my left knee, cuts on legs and got a knock on my head hahaha. pretty weird eh.

Band was fine today, oh we've got new reeds last week yayyy!! :D We did many practicals this week, we used the microscope to observe cheek cells, onion and hydrilla cells; and for chem, it was on measurement so we did an experiment where we tried to use the pipette (: Learnt more about SPA and Sec 3 life is really different from lower secondary's.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Sec 3 DOT Connection 'BOND' Camp 2009 was really awesome. We laughed a lot, but also cried pretty much. I will miss everything about this camp.

3E5 Group 10 was pretty shy on the first day and we didn't talk much to our trainer, Ace, but we were really bonded and there were laughter everywhere we went. Before going to Sarimbun (gosh I miss that place), I thought this camp would be a physically and mentally-drained one, and a camp where you will get sore legs and back aches, but it was indeed a life changing camp. I wouldn't mind going back there, wouldn't mind all the smelly (and bad) toilets, wouldn't mind all the activities, wouldn't mind sleeping on wooden planks and tents, and I wouldn't mind going for this camp again. Really.

My group had really opened a lot after the 1st day and we were so bonded after that. I had many fun times and we definitely enjoyed ourselves there. We were really open to our trainer Ace and we laughed a lot, and of course, talked a whole lot too!

We did many activities, such as the Challenge Valley where we had to go down to the Milo Pond, High and Low Elements, Group activities, General Stations, going to Sungei Buloh and the Great Sarimbun Challenge. I did many things which I thought I would not have done it and I've kissed a frog. It was rather disgusting but it's a good experience :D

gah, whenever I think about the camp, I just feel nostalgic and wanna go back there again.

During campfire, I could not control myself when the trainers started their performance and when they were showing the pictures on the slideshow, I cried and tears kept flowing. I have not miss any camp so much than I miss this Sec 3 camp :/

At night, on the campfire day, we had a great talk with Ace, and we just laughed till late midnight. We had a wonderful time with her and will definitely miss her and the other trainers ):

On the last day, I had swollen and puffy eyes due to the crying and I had to control my emotions again. It was difficult as we all knew that we had to leave today and we may not meet any trainers in the future. Ace and Asyraf spoke to us, telling us how they enjoyed this camp so much and at that moment, we all just let it out and teared. We were emotional and could tell that everyone in this class will miss the camp. Asyraf cried pretty badly too (so did I) and we all took a class photo with them and went back to MPH.

The trainers once again sang a farewell song and I cried again gahhh. We were reluctant to leave the campsite and upon going out, I turned back and took a good look of the Sarimbun campsite. Nostalgic. Cried a little more on the bus when we bade goodbye to Asyraf while Ace was still with us, the journey back to school. We've reached school, had debrief and final cheer. At that moment, I realised that camp was really over and there's nothing we could do to go back to the time where we just reached Sarimbun.

Thank you, 3E5, especially Marilyn, Mun Shuen, Edrea, Cheryl, Shi Ying, Amelia, Sonia, Ariel, Hannah, Priya, Nainika, Jaishree, and Xin Yi. Thank you all the trainers, thank you Ace and Asyraf, you guys are great trainers and we'll miss you.

Jingwen, Yi Li and I went to send Mr Tan off this morning, and we reached Terminal 3 at 11.45pm. haha, it was pretty cool to stay at the airport in the middle of the night. We sat at Macdonalds and waited till 4 plus before heading back to the departure hall (yeah we slept there)

There were also many students from other schools came down to send him off. Mr Tan's childrens are really cute! We waited till the first train and went home.

Sec 3s will be going to Sarimbun Campsite for a 5D4N camp tomorrow, so will update more after it (:

It's 2.39am but I still wanna blog about this.

Firstly, Happy New Year! Hope you guys had a wonderful time today yeah :D

It has been a year full with ups and downs (recession!). I had many surprises and some of which were pleasant, and it was also a year with many farewells. I would say it is not a great year but it was definitely a year I will remember.

Year 2009 is sure to be a hectic year, with the SYF Central Judging and 'O' Level Chinese Papers. It is also a good thing because it will keep me busy and not to be distracted.

Resolution:

1. Stop eating so much and start exercising :/
2. Be more focus
3. Study hard

I went for CG this morning and met Wan Yu, Germaine, Belinda, Jie Yang, Joel and Clive. It has been a long time and it was really great to spent my New Year's Eve afternoon with them. They are great and I'm really happy to have them as friends.

Ate my first Chili Cheese Dog at Super Dog and I would say that it's pretty delicious (to me), played at the arcade and watched Yes Man. That was my last afternoon in the year 2008 and I certainly had a great time.

Jw came after that and we sat this ship thing outside Vivo and it was absolutely fun! It's some stimulator thing and it shows you how the life on the yatch (while having competition) is real extreme and of course, tough. It got quite dizzy at first but I enjoyed the ride.

We watched Twilight (yes again, the 3rd time) and stayed for the countdown.

Everywhere was v. v crowded, they even had to queue to use the escalator and lifts. We were moving inside the life and we were packed like sardines and I'm not kidding. Everybody got pretty high when they started to countdown and it was already 2009.

Well, here's the first official post of 2009 :D

30/12;

We had a farewell party for Mr Tan and we are glad that it went smoothly (: Many alumni and seniors came back, we played Stand By Me and Nostalgia while the alumni band played Colours of the Wind, That Thing You Do, and Amazing Grace.

I could feel my tears welling up when I played Nostalgia. Although Mr Tan has only taught the sec 2 (batch '08) for a year, he has indeed taught us many things we do not usually learn in class, cracked many funny (and cold) jokes, who brought much laughter to band, and he is also the one who inspired me to learn more about music.

We went to Performing Arts Studio to watch the video by the alumni and it was of the 9 years Mr Tan had spend in St. Margs. We had also presented his Wikipedia page and we are really happy that we had this opportunity to create this page for him! :D

However, he will be leaving this Sunday and we'll miss him. All the best for your studies Mr Tan!
