I have not posted for a really long time. Been really busy with Drill Competition which was recently over, SLI (student leader's investiture), Founder's Day etc.

Drill competition was yesterday. Seriously, I have never taken drill so seriously before. haha... neither have I polished my boots so seriously. (: It was separated in 3 portions: Uniform inspection, FFD (Fancyfoot Drill+Silent Drill) and Impromptu Drill. I guess it turned out to be a good experience after all. Even though there were times that I felt really pissed off and tired, especially having to 'suntan' (more like bake) in the sun doing drill at the netball courts for more than 5 hours. And during drill competition someone stepped on my boots and I had to do half of the drill with my boots almost falling off :P I thank God for putting me in drill competition and letting me have such wonderful team mates.

Learning Journeys just ended last week. With Day 1: Civic Tour (or something like that) whereby we had something like a math trail along the Singapore River. It was rather fun... but the math questions were just ... ...

" Cavenagh Bridge, very important,
Singapore got 1 merlion,
We're from RAFFLES and we love harmony,
Go RAFFLES!"

This was a retarded cheer we came out with in 2 minutes and gained extra points by using all the underlined words.My group: Gillian, Elyssa, Esther and ME (: The facilitators were pretty funny. Especially the one holding his notebook with the sign: FEED ME

YOG was okay... but I thought the displays were rather cool.
Lower Pierce was really enlightening. I actually expected the usual looking at plants thing. I learnt quite a lot... about the sluice gate and dam. AND WE ACTUALLY GOT TO SEE A FLYING LEMUR. (its a exactly a lemur but a flying squirrel as lemurs are only found in madagascar)

The chinese movie appreciation was ... I didn't really enjoy it. The movie they screened was okay, but the 交流part was just off.

FOUNDER'S DAY`09 was totally AWESOME. I really enjoyed myself despite having seen the rehearsals. The very 1st founder's day in the evening. The costumes, like the old british dress, the 'house guardians' and the violin performance that totally just blew everyone away. Thanks OT for putting up such a wonderful performance. (:

SLI was on the 29th Feb if I remember correctly was the 2nd one that I have attended. Its just that this year, its different. 5 people from 105 have become class chairperson.
