Today is a really long day, until 3 and non-stop 'big' subjects one after another. The day today was started by Maths. Not exactly my cup of tea 'cause everyone is so sleepy, but it was fine. Today was the surface area and the volume of pyramids. Phew!!

Then came literature. The Miracle Worker Quiz is tmr... how I wish we could just have a computer brain. you know where you get to stick a thumbdrive in and go download book. (: We did more annotating than usual. My book is now really colourful with blue tab sticking out all over the place. HAHA!!

AFter lunch was Bio SPA (Science Practical Assessment) in the Bio Lab. Having to climb 4 stories up to the Science Block, my heart was already pounding as bad as it could get. We started on time. I took a glance onto the bench top... it was not as what I expected to be. BUT I WILL NOT REVEAL THE QUESTION. this post will only be completed after the EOY. to be continued.

Then Geog was the last period of the day. Whooo! *unfinished*

Karen, Catherine and I stayed back to complete our English Comprehension Test.

Miss Wong watches Bleach too! and her favourite character is Ukitake and Yachiru (:

YEAH!! Today we had a really cool dance lesson. I can still remember the dance Miss Gloria taught us (: We played a game: of who can last the longest for Cha Cha dance. The prize was a chocolate. Congrats to those who did. Anyway, she taught us Hip Hop. The steps were fast but we all learnt it to our best. And Row 5 is always the best... the neatest. LOL. I think Murnira can dance well. She has that look of coolness and the 'aire' when she dances. We learnt comtempary dance too. Its abit like ballet, just that you don't have to stand on your toes, (Thank Goodness) be extremely flexible, have super straight backs and wear those weird clothes. (no offence) Its kind of like what we call, modern ballet. We know only the basics lah... but 3 hours of non-stop dancing is what I call fun. Usually people will be a little shy, but when everyone is doing it together and laughing, you forget to keep yourself in check, let loose and do the dance. It was tiring though. I guess I burnt all the unwanted calories. To kill two birds with one stone. Recess was fun and Computer Studies is normal as usual then had English Lesson and when home (:

Lol. Today was the mini starting of the EOYs. I had MY ENGLISH ORAL TODAY!! RAWR! I think I screwed part of it :( We climbed up to th D block 4th floor lugging things to study during the wait to study - Miracle Worker, Bio File and CL ws. The wait was long and air was filled with tension still but everyone spoke to each other light heartedly. That was the best we could do to overcome getting all worried and jittery. I am the 10th to

I read, tested and memorised some parts of The Miracle Worker then I complete my Chinese Ws. YAY!!

I have not blogged about my experience of being a SL for Term 3. The first day of Term 4 was really weird. I felt bare cause I was no longer wearing the tie. And everything feels weird. I think I look abnormal without the tie. I was even looking for my badge when I realise that I no longer needed it. Being a student leader was fun. I enjoyed the experience... Other than the horrible feeling of booking someone. However, I guess you will get use to it after a while. I have now become a bit immune to booking someone. Some prefects even find it fun or normal --" I think everyone was great in one way or another. Our SL is really bonded. with all the meetings and problem solving together. It is indeed a refreshing experience that I will not forget. Many things have happened in the group but in the end, everyone is a T3 SL forever. Thanks guys for being a great pal in the Term 3 although it was harsh term. Love ya!!

Yesterday, we had a dance exam- American Latin Dance called Cha Cha. Hey... don't get me wrong. ITs actually quite fun although I hate the part that we had to stay back to take the exam plus all the unnecessary pressure. LOL. I have not been blogging for a while so I shall start with the music module. I learnt the xylaphone with all the other grade 6 people. It was a challenge to play with two stick simultaenously two different notes. Hitting them is already a problem... not to mention getting the notes right. After much practice, I guess I passed the assessment. We only had 2 or 3 lessons. I managed to try the glokenspiel and the lyra bells. All are similar in shape but sound different. I like the glokenspiel though.

Next was dance. As I already mentioned, we were learning cha cha dance. Our teacher was Miss Wendy, but Miss Gloria also taught us a lessons. Our first impression of Miss Wendy was not really nice, but I guess our opinion of her changed gradually. Because RGS is a GIRLS school, where are we to get GUYS!? so the girls were spilt into girls and guys. Unfortunately, I was the guy (cause I am tall (: ) Karen is my 'partner' The next problem was that our class had 35 people. In the end, our morally right Catherine had 'partners'. LOL. We first learnt the basic steps of Cha Cha -

Hey, got back from the PIT cun JPSL camp on 12/9/07. Was really tired by time I reached home, it was already 8pm, plus I have'nt even taken my dinner yet. Was really hungry, tired and frustrated. Homework was still not yet done , but I am glad that I took part in it, was a really ENRICHING experience. It was also great to meet new people that I never knew... all very capable leaders.

At 2.30pm, all norminees went to the AVA room to meet. There, attendence was taken and we were given name stickers to stick our very proud names. In groups of three, we dragged and took photos with anyone random. In the AVA room, we were briefed on the activity that we were about to embark. the dunno what '100 points' game. I really can't remember. After the *insert yawn* very boring introduction and briefing, the fun started. Our facilators were: Ada (girl who loves her name), Pauline incharge of sec 209 and Reshmir.

Our mission: to collect as many points and do as many activities in YOUR GROUPS as possible. I was in group one. Group members: Rachel, Amanda. Me, Elaine (another one) and many others. Sorry if I forgot your name but I know there were 9 of us and I STILL remember your faces. O... and we were supposed to take care of the egg. An empty egg with only the shell left... really fragile. But Group 1 the number one group is the most ingenious group of all. We kept our egg half submerged in a bottle of water and made sure the cannot be seen *add lightbulb*. We also created a lame cheer:



The first activity was to pass 3 small balls and and a large ball around without dropping all three for 2 minutes. If not , the time will be reserted. We completed it with a bit of difficulty with more than 5 tries. It was harder than it seems but we perservered. (: TEAM-SPIRIT man!!

Then next one was at the spiral staircase, where we had to transport ping pong balls with two wooden rods up the staircase and dump into this 4 cups tied together. If it does not get into the cup, it is NOT counted. Our target was 14... but we only got 4. We 'Failed' terribly. But it was none the less a good experience.

Running to our next station, was the foyer. There we were supposed to randomly link arms and then untangle ourselves. It was easy peasy. (: That one was the least challenging.

We then ran all the way to the netball courts. Was huffing and puffing by time We all reached there. It was the MOST challenging station. We were all blind-folded and were supposed to find a hidden rope in the netball courts. Then blind-folded still, we had to make a square out of the rope. Hey... you don't think that is challenging? Imagine making a square - equal sides with your eyes close. I found the rope, walking in the direction of the voice that shouted "ok!". Everyone else followed my voice and I grabe their hands to the rope. We numbered ourselves from 1 to 10. 1,4,7,10 will be the corners. I was 7 and was to make sure that we made right angles. Others were to ensure that they were standing of equal distance. After much shouting a attempts, we did it. (: But it took quite long. Indeed.

Our last station was at the corridor near the amphetheatre. One person at a time, we would have to cross a set of obstacles like mission impossible. (: Then the rest have to sit on each other without chairs in a circle. My legs almost died. In fact I think they did... all red when everyone was done.

Reflections again... looks like teachers can;t do without these. We had group situations where we were posted sticky situations and had to solve it. We got an emo girl, rebellious girls etc. You know what I mean. The entire thing ended at 7 plus. this was the latest I have ended school other than during orientation. --" But it was really fun. (:
