Hello everyone :)Didn't you miss me? (learnt from Jody) This week was full of fun and laughter in learning. For Aesthetics, we are doing sewing and needlework. (we are not housewives :( ) It is really quite fun. We just learnt how to use the sewing the sewing machine and learned how to sew a pin cushion. For History, we have been peacely arguing who the founder of Singapore is. So in the end we concluded this: Ancient Singapore: Sang Nila Utama, Colonial Singapore: Sir Stamford Raffles, William Farquhar (pronouce this properly or...) and John Crawford last but not least, modern Singapore: Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his cabinet of ministers. For Georg, we have been learning how to read maps (so mush so for longitudes). We also have been just informed that Singapore is actually in the wrong time zone. When you use emails, note that Singapore is GMT +0800 but we should be GMT +0700. We are one hour ahead of time. The reason, because of the British, we moved half an hour ahead. Then the Malaya thought that since Singapore and Malaya was merging, we should all have the same timing so in the end we moved another half an hour. So in total, we are one hour ahead of time. For Literature, we have been listening to some pop songs to find the different types of rhymes in them and the different beats. Cool huh? For Chinese, we are currently learing mother's heart (direct translation) For Maths, we are doing about real number systems (weird, there are no fake numbers) For physics, we are doin measurements, so confusing ): And last but not least we have Philosophy. (So chim right?) It is a funny and interesting lesson filled with quality discussion and laughter:) Our P.I.T (prefect in training) is going crazy over Rain. Thank God he is no longer in Singapore or we will all go deaf. She also attended Pain's concert. Imagine spending $488 on a piece of paper to see Rain. Incredible. I am looking forward to class reunion in MARCH!! and I am looking forward to seeing everyone on Chinese New Year! I am going to see Mrs Han with Charla and Karen Next Mon, hope the security guard does not chase us out. Anyway, GBU always!!
