"CIP"

"Who wants to volunteer?" Mrs Low questioned, "it must be those whose parents surely can allow." Some of us volunteered, including me. It appears that we were volunteer to help set up the Halloween Party for the P1s and P2s.
At 9am the next day, Ms Dawn Quek came to our class and asked the volunteers to follow her and go down. All 7 of us went down and Ms Quek described what the whole event was going to be like while we sat down on the little chairs in the P1 classroom.
After the talk, we set off to decorate the 2/1 classroom with streamers with pictures of witches, bats, spiders and those 'Halloween stuff'. There were also bottles labled 'poisonous', but unfortunately, there was no liquid in them as Ms Dawn said it would attract ants and did not want to pour anything inside. We did the same for 2/1 and in that morning 3/5 was using it. Some retar* said something that insulted me and I quarrelled with him until I thought that it was no point quarrelling with a retar*.
We brought back some shiny paper (aluminium foil) into the class to cut into pieces for the P1's and 2's Arts and Crafts in the afternoon. Ms Quek said that she needed 60-70 pieces (we did 70 anyway). Amanda wanted the pieces to be 'normal (aka 'crumpled')' but I wanted them to be 'flattened' so both of us quarrelled until I gave in. After we had completed all 70 of them, Mrs Low siad we should flatten the pieces to fit into the plastic bag so we did that. LOL.
AS I had helped to count the aluminium pieces over and over again; and there was marker ink on the sides of the foil, my hands were dyed blue. Yi Sien's and Mathilda's were too. We used hand soap in vain, trying to get the stains off. The bottle of 'CIV'(washing detergent) caught Yi Sien's eye and he tried using that. Miraculously, the stains cam eof his hand. 'Inspired' my the 'miracle soap's power', we tried that too. A few minutes later, Yi Sien told Mrs Low that we used CIV and she gasped in surprise saying '这个很强的！" She then told us to wash with normal hand soap after that.
The shrill bell sounded significantly, meaning that it was time for lunch then. We had from 12.50 to until 1.45 to eat so most of the time was spent in the library, playing and reading.
At 1.45 sharp, 7 of us left the library and waited for Ms Quek at the 2nd staff room exit. We went inside the staff room and wanted to check whether she was there. Instead, some rude teacher came to shout, "1 person enough to meet teacher, need the whole village meh?" If he was an English Teacher, Beckham would be my brother. Outside the staff room everyone agreed that he was damn rude.
Ms Quek walked out of the staff room and went back in again to change into a 'Halloween' T-shirt. We then walked to P1/7 and Ms Quek gave a talk on Halloween to the P1s. She also emphasized on paying attention to the talk to them as they would hae to answer some questions on the topic itself. Apparently, the pupils were split into groups of 6 and were given a task to find 5 diffenrent masks in seperate classrooms or areas around the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor. There would be a teacher-in-charge for each mask and the pupils would have to ask for his/her name and answer answer a quiz question. All their answers would then be filled into their worksheet. All the teachers-in-charge were having their own lessons so in order not to disrupt their lessons (with pupils searching high and low for the mask in the classroom), the mask was put at a fixed area visible to the eye from outside. The pupils were told that they had a 'bank' of 10points and their group buddy (us) could minus points if they were rowdy.
Before we left, Ms Quek lent us a camera each and said that we could help her take candid photo shots of the pupils while they were doing the activity. Darren and I led one group and he took the camera. You could see from their behaviour that girls mature faster than boys (I'm not being a sexist to either gender!): the boys were rowdy but the girls were polite and quiet.
Well, I wouldn't elaborate more on the activities that took place during 30minutes that we were given to find the treasure. In the end, we found all the masks except the skeleton one, which is simply 4 masks. No points were minus ed but on the contrary, we didn't win the game.
Art and Crafts was next as each pupil got a template made by sticking a transparent sheet over a rectangular cardboard piece with a rectangular hole. THey were then given a Halloween picture and had to trace the outline of it and colour. Then we 'buddies' would have to stick the 'flattened' aluminium foil behind the picture to make it shine by the reflection of light.
When it was their recess, we stayed back for 5minutes helping to pack the markers and paper back for the next session. Mrs Quek gave us 10 dollars to buy drinks. After we had gone down, we decided not to use it and return (partly because YiSien said that she would tell Ms Tan and Ms Tan would praise us). We didn't eat much and had actually wanted to play Ultimate Frisbee by asking Mathilda to go up to the staff room to ask Mrs Yeo for the frisbee(s) under her table. Mathilda came back empty handed saying that the teacher was not at her table. Yi Sien lied to her saying someone followed her and saw that she didn't go to the staff room. BWAHAHAHAHA! You should have seen her reaction: so exasperated! The we played soccer (and basketball) with 3 bottles still having fizzy liquid inside. 1 bottle exploded after being kicked and thrown about.
We had actually thought that the P2's would be more mature and would not behave so badly as the P1's but, to our surprise, they were worse. I had volunteered to lead one group by myself as I thought it would give me more authority (Darren had been having more than me LOL), but there was one hyperactive boy that called the other groups 'bad guys'. But the rest of the group members were quiet but involved.
After their Arts and Crafts, by back and legs were aching after 3/4 a day of decoration, climbing stairs and brisk walking. Not to mention, bending down to help the pupils stick the 'shiny paper' on their pictures. But we were rewarded with a goodie bag and a pencil with a Jack 'O Lantern on top of it. And last but not least, a big 'thank you' from the P1's.

Friday

"No time" to post yesterday and the day before it, so I had decided to post today, baout what happened on 'Friday'. Dominic, Shi Hui, Jonas , Zhen Yi, Lorraine and I had arranged to go to Amanda's house at Punggol Edge. I had been in a quandary, not knowing which bus routes(and MRT) routes to take. I could either take:Bus 222 or 14 to Interchange, take MRT to Pasir Ris, take Bus 3to Punggol MRT and take LRT to Punggol Edge or; I could take Bus 14 or 222 to Interchange, take 87 to Sengkang MRT, take MRT to Punggol and then take the LRT. But since Bus 3 went on the TPE, it would be much faster and without any further calculations, I chose the 2nd route. LOL.
Everything went on smoothly until I found out that the Punggol west LRT was 'not in service'. From the MRT to her Punggol Edge was quite a distance. Luckily I had my Bus Guide, which I flipped through to find that Bus 82 goes there too. But I ignored the 'quite-a-distance' part and started walking to Punggol Edge. Not long after walking, a Bus 82 zoomed past me. I regretted trying to walk there and waited at the nearest bus stop. 15mins later, the other Bus 82 finally came and I hopped on it.
I discovered that It was actually a long way to her house. The thick layer of leaves blocked outmost of the sunlight filtering through and there was no walking path. The distance between 2 bus stops was like a few hundred meters.
I alighted at the first stop after the bus made a loop near the jetty. Walking in, I heard cicadas calling and the occasional birds chirping. It was a truly serene place to live in, with sounds of nature engulfing you. I found her bungalow after a few minutes; rang the doorbell and the rest said I was stupid as the door was wide open. Then Dominic and Jonas told me to put my barang barang down and they asked me to go into the house. Outside the living room, I saw a swimming pool and the duo 'advancing' on me. Uh oh, I knew what was gonna happen next. THey dragged me into the pool! Soon after a while in the pool, I discovered that my phone was still inside my pocket. It was spoilt and I blamed them for doing that. I wrung my clothes and once again they pushed me in.
All of us were in the pool (by hook or by crook) later and we sprayed water at each other with the water guns. We also played Captain's Ball with Amanda, Shi Hui and Jonas on 1 team and Dominic and I on the other. It wasn't really fair as Amanda's team got the shallow end of the pool so it was easier for them to shoot and we got the deep end. Jonas and Shi Hui were wearing white so...
There was a ledge outside the windows on top of the pool, only accessible by climbing from either sides of the pool and we got 2 people stand on it and we sprayed water at them or pulled at their legs so one of them would fall down into the pool first. The 'last survivor' would then be the winner.
Zhen Yi came later and he almost got the same treatment as me, but he told the duo that he needed to go out and his clothes couldn't dry very fast. So, in order to dry ourselves, we went in to the concrete 'field' to play soccer. We took turns to kick the ball at Dominic, who was riding a mini-bicycle. Amanda suddenly wanted to go home and change her shoes. We thought that she would be coming back soon but she didn't. So we walked or ran back to her house. I was heated to the max and wanted to cool down so I went in the pool, again. Dominic also went in. Lorraine came and got tugged into the pool by Dominic. Wet people could not enter the house, so we had to dry ourselves outside while the others were playing the Wii.
My handphone was left out to dry on the schorching wooden boards and I forgot to tell you that Dominic's phone, which is 2weeks old, got into the pool and got spoilt. I dared him to walk on the ledge to the other side if I went too. He accepted the dare and fell in after losing his balance. But I succesfully made it to the other side. He started to dry himself and I sat on a wooden chair, soaking my legs in the pool. With nothing to do, we squirted water on the walls and windows, only to find out that there was a CCTV camera near the pool!
I went inside the house and found out that Jonas and Zhen Yi had used the gun to shoot at the fan. The darts had a suction pad so it would stick on the object it landed on. So they began to shoot more of the darts, hoping to just get that one down. Amanda then stood on the table and tried to get the darts, when the fan was still rotating (crazy right?) at breakneck speed. Another gun with a styrofoam torpedo loaded inside was found. They shot at the fan with the other gun until most of the darts had came down. The last few were positioned at an awkward angle or got stuck onto the ceiling. Amanda then switched off the fan and got a higher chair to stand on, thus being able to reach the remaining darts.
Amanda left the Wii on and we all went to her room and played reversi or chinese chess. Dominic, Lorraine and I went down the stairs and continued playing the Wii.
At 6 plus, most of us went home. In the evening, Dominic told me on the phone, "Eh, Amanda's mother very angry." "Why?"I asked. "The floor very wet!" LOL.

Exaggerated Advert

Left:My picture(lousy muddy water

Right:Advertistment's picture (angelic holy water)

Walking out of the MRT I hesitated. Hmm, should I go left or right? I've never alighted at Bugis before, at least never came out of it. I chose left after checking the map. Took the escalator up and found Albert Street Temporary Market. That was the second time in 2 days that I had been there. The first time, I went to my relatives' shop to help out and left my jacket, water bottle and map behind. *Sighs* I only checked the 'more important items' like: wallet, handphone, MP3. So my sole purpose to going there(again)was to collect those items.

I was told by the owner that they had shifted to another venue and had lost some customers. Another factor of losing their customers was because the roof was made of corrugated zinc sheets which conducts heat into the market, resulting in the market being sweltering hot.

Actually, I had decided to make this trip more useful and was going to the to Bottle Tree Park at Khatib. There was once when I was taking the MRT when I saw this park along the way so I thought: Why not go there now? So I checked the Internet for the facilities at the park before going to Bugis. Their website wrote that it had those facilities:

• Restaurant
  
• Pond
  
• Kampung style Buildings


• Basketball and Volleyball Courts
  
• Mini-zoo


• Obstacle Course


• Paintball field
• There were at least 3 restaurants there. The pond water was muddy, looks like nobody's been cleaning it for weeks. Kampung style buildings were just to attract your attention into going into the park, it was actually the restaurant's rooftop. As for the basketball and volleyball court, they were just useless and worn out. Do they really have to advertise about such minor stuff? I did not see any mini-zoo, what I saw were just fish and prawn. The obstacle course was rusty and tucked away at the remote side of the park(if I remember there was one?). At least the paintball field was still in use. But you had to be above 14 to enter, which is quite insulting for me. But I joined in the briefing with the other group and stepped on 'stray paintballs' on the floor. That stained the floor orange.

Uncondensed

The day started off at 11.00 where I walked to the bus stop and waited for a bus 67 to come. Instead, there was a bus 28 and on the contrary, I took that since I remembered that it went to TM. Zhen Yi came on the same bus as me and to our horror, the bus looped around Tampines Estate for almost half an hour! I could have just waited for 67 and we would have been there in 15mins.
THe meeting place was arranged by Dominic, Shi Hui and Amanda at 'Minitoons'. When we arrived at the (mini) shop,there was no one familiar in sight. So I got Zhen Yi to call Dominic and they told us that they were at Popular. We finally met them and walked to the escalator, where we were 'confronted' by a fatass.
Fatass:If you're gonna throw more ice down there, we are gonna call security.
Me:What did I do (you -!)?? It was the rest who did it!
Apparently, Dominic and Co had been throwing Water Babies down at the exhibition where the Fatass thought it was ice. I think she would have felt that it was not, because if it was, she would have screamed 'Oww!'. Whereas if it had not been it would just go 'Splatt!'.
We had lunch at Swensens, but some of them had already eaten at home. I thought I also should have done that as I will not have to spend $12 on a meal. Dominic told me that there was no Food Court around here after I said wanted to eat at one of them. LOL. I'm so 'kiasu'. Anonymous then took the Feedback Form and wrote some nasty comments. Zhen Yi the said that he/she should make it sound nicer. Then Dominic suggested that, 'Your restaurant is 名落孙山.' No offence Swensens, were just joking, actually, the foor was delicious and their service was great.
Arcade!~was suggested by Amanda; before going to catch a movie. I'm not gonna emphasize on that, because there's nothing for me to talk about. We had actually planned to watch Imagine That, which is a PG rated movie. There was actually worries that the people working at the cinema would not let us (the 'little kiddies') in to watch as it was a PG one. But (I dunno why), the let us in. Maybe they had LOW INCOME and they just want to let anyone in to make more money; that probably goes the same for the R-21 ones.
THe movie is about a girl, who had a blanket and says that, with the blanket, she can talk to here imaginary friends. Her father accidentally found out that the 'friends' can predict things happening in the other companies. He then uses this advantage to compete with his rival to become the CEO of the company. THen there was once that he knows that he can't rely on 'luck'.
THey spent all their money on the arcade games with me using like 50% or more of the games.
We then headed to 'Toys R'Us' and we had some kinda well...'war game' there. I hit Amanda on her head with the toy hammer, hard.And she came with another one, chasing me around. THen this went on, with more 'techniques of attacking' like me poking her with the stem of a toy flower. A woman then came up saying,'This is not a playground'.

Make up

Haven't been posting for the past few days so here's to make up for it.
13-10-09:

Yes! PSLE's over! Went to Dominic's house with Jonas, Shi Hui and Clara. Took Bus 14 and walked the rest of the way there. Dominic immediately took out his football and played with it in the playground (aka 'Park') with Jonas. Then he suggested that Clara and Shi Hui should play as well and started teaching them how to. When the ball was rolling into the drain, Clara would cheer 'Drain! Drain! Drain!' loudly until it went in. If it did, the response would be 'Yes!' But if it didn't, it would be 'Aiya!' Then there was once where I kicked the ball and it rolled into the drain and into the smaller drain (aka sewage pipe). And I was forced by Dominic to climb into it, however, I thought that that was the stupidest way to get the ball out. Instead, I used a bamboo pole to push it out. However, since the pipe was going under the breadth of the road, the pole was too short so I needed to use another. The other one was longer so I used 'the other' to push 'that one' to push 'football' closer to the other side of the pipe. Then after it was retrieved, I had to push 'that one' with 'the other to the other side. Somehow, the 'the other could not come out from the other side of the pipe after retrieving 'that one' as it was stuck between the wall and the pipe. And somehow I got it out with a couple of twists and turns.
Then there was lunch: It was bee hoon, chicken wings and 'some other(s)'. Only Clara was willing to eat. We stared at her while she ate. Having four pairs of eyes roving around her was enough to make her lose her appetite. So she gave up eating, and let Shi Hui take her place.
Badminton was fun playing with Dominic and Jonas over the gate: 1 person(s) stand on the road and the other standing in the house. But we only had 2 plastic shuttles. 1 flew onto the roof and the other, flew to 'Yati's' house. 'Yati' is what Dominic called the maid and its a fake name. When we rand the doorball, a face appeared at the window and said, 'We are busy'. Busy with what? Thats the thinking part. Soon after, Jonas threw a water baby at me and I smashed it with the racket. It brok like glass and dropped onto the ground. Upon that, I took a real HUGE one and smashed it at Clara. It rained on her!
After which, we went to The Summit after playing on the swings (and I got dizzy). It was like a ghost town there, nobody was spotted and it had a ominous layer of clouds. THere was also a strange noise. WE discussed about the Class Gathering and the playground and proceeded to play table-tennis. Soon after, we had to leave as it was going to rain. Jonas and I waited for the rest at the gate and Dominic opened the door for us with the key. As we had shut the door, Dominic had to use the key to open it for Clara and Shi Hui again while we ran back. Apparently, the key could not work and they had to climb over the fence. Something happened (I'm not supposed to say it) to one of them as he/she climbed over the fence.
I had brought a boomerang on that day and we took turns to throw it. Its flight path was unexpected and there was once where it hit a car after bouncing on the pavement.
14-10-09:

It was a do nothing day, except for taking the graduation photo.
After school, I had lunch at my grandmother's house. Then waited for Bus 67 at the nearest bus stop to see scenery. You may think I'm whiling away precious time, but, I've got all the time in the world!
The bus rumbled along Changi Road before reaching Geylang Serai. It's decor was brown and even the overhead was too! Then a boy of like P3(?) came up to me and asked, 'You primary what?' And I answered in curiosity,'6.' Then he asked my whether I could do one question in his 'Maths My Pals Worksheet'. THe topic was on 'Time' and I solved it with ease and explained it to him. He started firing questions at me and telling me about his school and stuff. I got a headache answering his questions after he alighted.
Crossing the Kallang River, the bus moved along on Kallang Road, where Sims Avenue East and Geylang Road merged. It then took a right turn to go to Bendemeer road via Lavender Street. One thing I noticed about the shops along Bendemeer Road was that it had lots of light shops. But the amount of light shops decreased significantly after the bus reached Jln Besar. THe high-rise buildings were then very clear. Near the Rochor River, the bus took another right turn over to Rochor Canal Road. THen it passed Little India where it travelled on the 7mile Bukit Timah Road.
It was then that my eyes were beginning to weigh a thousand pounds and soon, I dozed of. THe first time I woke up was when I felt myself slidng backwards and got a shock. When I looked behind me, I saw that I was just leaning on the support. THe second time was when I kicked something and saw that I was already at Jln Anak Bukit, where Bukit Timah Road changed to Upp Bukit Timah Road. At that time, I forced myself not to sleep as I was gonna reach my destiantion already. On the right was the Dairy Farm (or is it...?) and the landscape was less urban.
Finally, I reached Choa Chu Kang HDB Estate where there was the Bukit Panjang LRT. I then realised that it was quite long, apart from the map pictures. Maps cannot be trusted, no I mean that the SIZE cannot be.
I chose to take the North South Line towards Woodlands as I had never gone there before and since the difference in number of stops was 1 or 2 more than travelling South. Along Yew Tee to Kranji, it was a long trail going past Sungei Kadut and going over the KTM. The coast of Malaysia was within sight and I had actually wanted to go down to the tracks. I alighted at City Hall where I had to change train to the East West Line towards the East. Alighted at Pasir Ris MRT because I thought that there was still time to continue my Expedition. THe security Guard didn't let me in and Clara didn't answer my calls to ask for Jonas to come to the phone. In the end, I called his home and asked the person which unit number his house was. THen I wrote it down on the book that the guard passed to me.

In the end, I saw lots of people wearing the school uniform playing at the playground. It turned out that there were more people coming to his house. I regretted going on the Expedition as I could save it for another day and play with the rest.

End of Very Long Post -_-

Random

I've no inspiration of what to blog about. Everyone says that I should 'blog about anything' and that dosen't help me in anyway. LOL.

Parents up in arms over PSLE Maths paper

I just saw this piece of news. Parents complained over PSLE Maths paper. Read it yourself: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1010464/1/.html
On the article, they said that "he got very emotional and started crying. He said his hopes of getting (an) A* are dashed", but that is only a paper. If you find it hard, others also find it hard right? NO point crying, it dosen't help, this is what I call 'plain stupidity'.
Another thing is that, don't parents learn their lesson on complaining? Complaining wouldn't change anything, let alone the children's marks. THe only action taken will be the MOE saying 'this is PSLE'. Another sign of 'plain stupidity'.
"They have spent months revising and preparing, but it's so much tougher than they expected. It really put a big dent on students' morale." Haven't the parents and teachers said that once the paper is over, its over. Nothing can change it: 昨天像落花，像流水，一去不回头。And when the studens have low morale, they will keep brooding over it and not do well for the next paper. If you still have a high morale, you will have more advantage over the rest. Reason being, most likely you will do better.
I predict there will be another 290 scholar this year, who shone brightly beyond the rest.

Mathchinese

I just realised today, how easy Maths was.
Surprisingly, I knew how to solve ALL the questions, with the last one as an exception. Filled with remorse, I just stared blankly in the air (trying to find air molecules) wondering if I was that stupid. I just didn't think of the questions from another angle. Speaking of angle(s), the angle question's answer is actually 150 degrees. The triangle is actually an equilateral one, but you people can't just assume it is. Sheer luck that it was one, otherwise all of you would get it wrong by assuming. The equilateral triangle and those 2 isoceles ones are actually forming 2 overlapping trapeziums if you noticed. 2 of the angles from 2 parellel ends of the trapezium form 180 degrees. The other 180 degrees is formed by 1 side of the 'equilateral' traingle and another side of the isoceles one. There is another line dividing the square into half so that will form a 90 degree angle covering half an angle of the 'equilateral' one. So in that case, in order to make it clear to the examiner, use Guess and Check to fit the propeties of a trapezium, equilateral and isoceles triangle. I doubt you will understand my explanation. disrespectful attitude'.
Chinese compo was not to what I predicted: A robbery. Instead, it came out 'what you all know'. Some people regretted writing Q1, which was 'A result of my disrespectful attitude'. On the contrary, I had actually wanted to write that, using the picture compo as an idea: When my friend wanted to borrow money from me, I made some mean remarks and in the end I lost a friend.
The Chinese Paper 2 was easier than I thought, beacuse my thoughts were 'influenced' by the Maths. I was actually hoping that the comprehension would be easier without those kinda 'moral of the story' questions as I was not so strong at those, would most likely get only 'method marks'. In the end, my wish came true, but the other didn't. I was also hoping that the cloze passage would be damn difficult so I would get more advantage as that was my strongest section.
Thats for all now!

PSLE

Finally, its started.
Today was Mathematics, it was surprisingly hard. Hard as a...diamond? In that case, difficult. I actually told myself that I could solve every question. Well, that may have been possible if I had managed my time better, this only applies to the Section C questions. As usual, I did the paper from back to front, instead of the usual way. This was due to my belief that, if one does the paper back to front, starting with the difficult questions first, one will concentrate better on them.
But I was like, horror of horrors! Last 2 questions, dumbstruck-did not even write working except a few ratios, but that is only applicable for the last one. At least, the 5mark questions were easier and more straight forward than the 4mark ones, which is utterly amazing. 1/2 hour more=all questions solved(regardless of correct or wrong). Balloon question totally fired me up like a bullet at first. I knew I could solve it with those steps, but halfway through...Huh? I was completely puzzled and had no inkling what the next step was. Scrutinizing the question numerously did not increase a step of my working. So I just used my 'tikam power' mingled the numbers together and got a 3-digit number. Well, I did think of common multiple, but in a different way. Different, how can that be? Its just Different as in, 3.75 small balloons can be put in a 90cm rod. I don't think that way would get me anywhere so if I thought in the other way as in, 15 small and 8 big would fit in a 360cm rod. That was a big IF, but sadly, I didn't. Anonymous taught me.
Then there was that speed question. I thought of it in ANOTHER way that I somehow didn't really think about, which is impossible so---I dunno what I thought about. What puzzled me when I learnt the answer, is that I completely didn't think about that! 'Given your level of intelligence you should be able to solve it.' and 'You dunno? How can?' were the comments.

3 question skipped, speed, last question and second last. All of them I just drew crap.
Last question and balloon one wrong.
Second last I actually put 150 degrees as I thought it was an equilateral triangle. But soon after I saw a trapezium and found of that if it was a equilateral traingle, it wouldn't fit the propeties of a trapezium. So I tried using guess and check to find something that would fit the equilateral triangle and an isoceles one. But I forgot about another 90 degree angle LOL.
Computer question ans: 100min, most got 25min while Megan got 37.5 and over reacted.

光阴似箭

Time passes so fast, like a rocket.
The start of this year was like...yesterday? Now it is already a day before PSLE.
I wonder why parents don't allow their children to use the the computer before exams? I recently heard that the reason was: Children will be addicted to the computer and not concentrate on studies. I don't think its true because if children are disciplined (I mean DISCIPLINED), they will know what their piorities are and start working after using the computer. But some children are not disciplined and as a result, their parents don't allow them to use it as they think its an obstacle to sucess.
I'm not really under stress right now, but before there had been mountains of homework to do. Tuition was by my grandmother and she came like once a week; she also made it convienient for me as she came on the days that I was free. So, hope my hard work will pay off in the exams!

The hardest part is not the exams but the waiting of the exam.

I'm back

Hi all! I'm back from a few days of hibernation TEEHEE. Guess many of you thought I was dead (touchwood) I'm alive and kicking...the bucket. LOL. Enough of crap.
I dunno why I've got like no stress, not even nervous about...'you know what'. But I seem quite happy doing my work like the 'whole' day. Computer and going outdoors was an exception though. Here are some things I really HATE when doing my work. It totally ruins my work-mood.
1.Pen no ink
Its not that I don't have another spare one but rather, the spare ones are spare for exams. So I don't wanna use them (don't ask me why, no reasons) so I'll have to put up with one of those ball-point ones.
2.Correction tape missing
I really need that. Its one of my essentials. I don't want my work to be cancelled untidily, instead, I want it to be immacuate.
3.No lead for pencil
When lead runs out, the 'lead box' always appear to be missing, a.k.a 'somewhere over the rainbow'. And then I'll have to use those wooden pencils which I begrudge.

By the way, I just saw this video on Yahoo;its uber funny.

Baby Dances To Beyonce @ Yahoo! Video

Reminising...

Left to right: "War submarine", "Cannon", Some Car, "Hornet"

Hidden from sight, old and forgotten.

I suddenly remembered there were these thingies. When I took them out, they were filled with dust so I had to clean them. "What are they?" You may ask. Well, lemme tell you, I seriously don't know what they are, but I just know they are made from correction tape casing, and sometimes made by the tape itself.
Hmm, I started this since P4 but lost interest the following year. How did it get started? 'a' (anonymous) and I first found out that we could grind pencils to form 'graphite powder' with the more or less, sharp edges of where the gears are in a correction tape. So next we begun building figures and sticking them together with sticky tape. But we found it too 'not nice' so we changed to glue. I was quite a waste as we did not bother to use finish the correction tape, we just threw it away. But someone came up with a bright idea: Let other people use it quickly so it wouldn't be a waste.

Then 'b', somehow recruited more people to form a club. Then there were like a lotta different kinds of 'jobs' and 'b' made his/herself the leader. This we didn't mind 'cos he/her was responsible. The club's mission was to sell this type of thing for charity, but we only managed to earn $2 :'-(

And then 'b' was making things really complicated like asking me to go and create an entrepreneur account on some website. 'B' wanted me to put my email address and created a draft website on my Science P4 PSLE Booklet. Even when I didn't want to create one, we still had fun making those thingies.

The next year we al had to change classes so there was less time for us to interact so the whole club just shattered like broken glass. And I really have no inkling why the thingies are with me. But what's left within them is a good piece of memory that I'm sharng with you all.

*Sorry for the bad picture arrangement
