Exams--part 2

Today's exams were Social Studies and Biology Paper 2. The social studies paper was only 1 hour long. I thought my essay on Northern Ireland is quite alright. I memorised it better than the Sri Lanka.
After that, when all the other students had left, my class had Biology paper. We are the only class taking pure biology. The paper however was not very easy. I can't remember all the points to write in my essays. I am so forgetful, I didn't bring my four-leaf clover to school. I always bring it when I had exams.
Tomorrow is combine Physics. I am not that good in Physics, need to memorise a lot of facts and formulas.

5-5-06

More good news. Today, which was a normal school day, it was early dismissal for us.
The reason was that our school is use as a polling station for the upcoming General Election. No is to stay back in school, to make sure everyone do so, we will be "escort" out of the school by our teachers.
On the 18th of May, it will be Marking Day, which means school holiday for us. On the 19th, because of the elections, we are given one day off. I am so happy, it is going to be a long weekend and the best thing is that exams are over.
(2 more days till main exams)

Exams -- part 1

Exams really "sap" your energy from you. You have to use your brainpower. Just after two days of exams, my hand ached from gripping the pen too tightly. I suffered from stiff neck and back pain due to sitting on the chair, for more than two hours, writing away. My eyes also hurt.
On a good side, exams days are one of my favourite days in school. I almost look forward to it. The reason being that only on exams days are we allow to go home early. We can leave right after the paper. Sometimes, the exam only takes 45 minutes, so by 9 am, I am home.
(2 down, many to go)

school stuff....part 1

There are somethings I don't like in my school.
First, even if it was a rainy day, so long it did not rain at the time we need to assemble at the "parade square", we were to sit on the wet ground. At times, it just stop raining a few minutes ago, and we still must sit or squat on the floor. It is digusting, and the skirt takes a long time to dry. At the very least, they should let us stand throughout the assembly or go to the hall for assembly.
Second, from tomorrow onwards, nobody is to open the classrooms at the beginning of the day. Before, the chairman of the class can take the keys and open the classroom to let the classmates in. This is good as those whose parents need to go to work early, can stay in the class and do homework. There are many students who come to school early, some as early as 6.30 am. What will they do if the classrooms are not open?
I, personally reach school at 7, which is still quite early. I hate to have to wait in the canteen or anywhere else. The classroom gives me a sense of security because only my classmates can come in.
This "new rule" will take place until the end of the term. The reason behind this rule is that we always came down late for assembly. The teachers had enough, thus this new rule is born... Apparently, this will prevent such things from happening again. Wonder if it is true....

To the Zoo-13 Feb

13th February was the start of our 1 week school holiday.
For CIP, I was learning to be a Zoo guide. CIP means Community Involvement Programme.
It was a 3 hour lesson. As there was nothing much, I will not be focusing on that.
After lunch, it was free and easy for us. Together with my friends, we went to the new Australia Outback. We also visited other animals like the polar bear. At 2.30, we were supposed to gather. That day was the day of the opening of the new Wildlife Healthcare and Research Centre. We were privileged to be the only students there to witness it. The president was also there. We were given a tour inside the hospital, we felt so proud.
After that, we went to a sort of "banquet" room where we enjoyed some light food and desserts. So in a way, "we ate what the president ate". We took photos with the president and not only that, we got to have free elephant and tram rides.
That was great.

Sports Carnival

Today was the last day of school it was also our Sports Carnival. It was not " Sports Day " because our principal said that on sports days, only a few were taking part, whereas sports carnival was everyone got to take part.
There were many events such as 'banner making', 'sandwich making', 'anti-drug poster and anti-theft collar pin design making', 'mascot making', 'road relay', 'mass skipping', 'beep test' and 'dancing marathon'. Each of us was involved in something.
I was in the mass skipping. 10 of us jumping together while 2 swing the rope. Our class got into the final 3. We were the third in the secong round. But there were no medals for us, only the first and second place got medals.
Our class mascot was a banana. We all wore yellow shirts to support.
Our class did win some medals though. In the 'beep test', the girls got first. In the 'road relay', out team got first. In the 'sandwich making', we got second.
I had fun today although my legs were very painful.
(Holidays starts next week.)
till next time

sch news: 25th Feb

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"

sch news: 20th Feb

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.

(sorry to take such a long time to write)

CNY: eve

We went to my grandparents' house in the afternoon. My cousin's dog even had new clothes!
After dinner, all of us went to Far East Flora to buy some flowers for the new year. I bought tulips and a pot of plant.
When we returned home, it was already 10 o'clock. I watched TV until 1 in the morning with my father and brother.

The rain had finally stopped. It had stopped for a few days, but I did not have time to write in my blog.

Lots of homework, and tests are coming... This Friday, I have an English test. Followed by Social Studies on Tuesday, Physics and "A" maths on Wednesday, maths on the following Thursday and so on...
I can't stand it, teachers kept telling us about "O" levels... I barely have time to go online.

Help!!

Wet, Wet day

It had been raining since Friday. Rain, rain all day long. In some countries, it is snowing, but in Singapore it is raining.
It is very cool, at night, I would wear long pants and socks to sleep.
I hope the rain would not stop. I loved rainy days especially at night. I like this song call "I loved a rainy night".
However, my father was working in another country so he can't drive me to school, so I hope it will not rain when I am going to school. He will be back this Sunday.

Warmest Wishes

sch news 2006

It was the first day of school in 2006. It was back to the usual stuff I always did, woke up at 6am, went to school.....
The guys all looked so "weird" in their long pants. It made them looked taller. I had friends from my former class, I still keep in touch with my Sec 2 friends. My class was quite all right, except the guys were not that active. When we had a free period, they just sit on the chairs and sleep... I hope they will change, I like the guys to be fun-loving and "active". Today, we got to know our teachers and classmates. Tomorrow, it was back to study.
(Today, 3rd of Jan, is my brother's birthday)

Farewell....Old Year

It is the end of another year.
School year is about to start, again. Not that I like it...
Schoolbags are being packed, and the "excitement" of meeting your new teachers and friends.
I don't like going to school... You have to wake up early, have late lunches, come home at about 4pm on "normal" days, evening on "special" days. No computers even if parents say you can play after finishing homework....which can never be finished. I usually have breakfast at 6am, lunch at 4pm and dinner at 7pm. I have a break at 10am in school but I did not eat. Who would if you just have breakfast? Our classes end at 2.10pm.
After dinner, it is doing homework. For example: the homework takes about 2 hours to finish, it will be 9 and then it is time for bed... Though, many of my friends slept at midnight.
I will always say 'I hate school' whenever I have the chance, then I will give a 101 reasons to why "we should not go the school". Although that does not change anything, at least I will feel better.
I will say again:
Farewell Old Year
"Unhappy" New Year
