Today, my father is returning to Singapore. He went to Thailand to work.
Yesterday, my class had a bag-check by the teachers in search of handphones. We must emptied our bags and took out every book that was under the table. The teachers checked everywhere, including the IPP kit, boots which the students brought for their CCA, pencil-cases, pockets etc. The only place they didn't check is the inside of the over-head projector (OHP) and the casing that hold cables and wires. Last year, some of my classmates hid their handphones inside the casing. They "ripped" out the cover and slot handphones inside.
One of my classmates put his handphone inside my bag. I was so frightened and urged him to take it out. In the end, he put it inside a small bag where he kept his boots and uniform. The teacher checked his boots and uniform but didn't check the bag. So, the handphone was not discovered.
None of us were caught, what amused me was the teachers praised us. They told us to "keep up the good job". During recess, my friend and I had a good laugh about this. " It was not that we didn't bring handphones but how to hide them"
Warmest Wishes

Today, my class had a debate with another class. The motion was "madia today has much vice". My class was the proposition team.
The opposition team was clearly the "stronger", "well-prepared" team. Most of them were able to project their voices. Anyway, my class had put in a lot of effort. Although my class lost, I still had a good time listening to their points.
Still lots of tests coming...
'Holidays" is also coming....
Till next time

T.D Day

On February 15 was T.D. Day. I cannot disclosed what the day was, so sorry.
First , we had a talk in the school hall. We were told that there will be food and electricity rationing.
After that, it was back to study. But before long, we had the I.P.P Exercise. It stands for In Place Protection. We must off all electrical appliances including fans and lights. We used trash bags and masking tapes to "seal" up the windows and doors. Our teacher told us to seal up a part of the windows as it was only an exercise. We had to stay inside the stuffy classroom and wait for the all clear signal.
For recess, all the stalls were closed. Instead. we were given a coupon to get our 'ration'. Back in class, the electricity was cut off. We had to study in a hot, dim classroom. We were all sweaty and uncomfortable. This is a message to us that we should treasure what we have.
After all it was quite a fun day.

Valentine's Day

Just a few more days and it will be Valentine's Day.
In my school, Valentine's Day is an "important" affair. Our gift shop will be selling roses and soft toys. On Monday, there will be songs dedication. A lot of people had already ordered the roses.
For me, there is nothing to look forward to. If you get what I mean....
Anyway, wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

CNY: day 3

It was the last day of celebrations. We went to Sentosa to "see" Sentosa Flowers 2006. The flowers are so beautiful.
We had to cut short our outing as I had a stomachache. In the end, my parents brought me back home while the others continue their "tour". At night, we had a seafood dinner before bidding goodbye as the next day was a school day. I hate it and I had a test.

CNY: day 1 and 2

We woke up early in the morning to visit our relatives. We went to quite a lot of places before going back to my cousins' house. We ate lunch there. My uncle, auntie and cousin were not at home as they had lion dance performances. We went home at night and watched TV until midnight.
The next day, we went to my mother-side grandmother's house, then we met up with my uncle's family. My cousin brought her dog along as it was the Year of the Dog. Everybody just love him. They gave him treats and cuddles. My cousins and I collected a lot of Red Packets.
