Watched 'Whale Rider' today during assembly period. It was quite different from the book cos they skipped the whole part when Kahu was young. The childhood of Kahu when she was young would have made the show more interesting and funny. Watched for around 45 mins and the show would be continued the next assembly period.
Went down to help out in the heats today. I wasn't supposed to be on duty but my name magically appeared on the paper stating I was the starter. Since I had to leave early, I changed with Maple and be com steward instead. Wrong decision. I was in a total mess. Everything was so confusing. I was being rushed to sent down the runners asap, give them their tags, mark their attendance... I had to deal with the replacements. blah blah blah. The stupid papers kept flying out of the clipboard and someone at one point of time took away my replacement slips! I was alone before isabel came down to help. phew.
Last training today. Did 2 fa cases and footdrill. Too bad didn't managed to do nursing. Went home really late. My lastest training ever.

Ran 7 rounds today!!! hahas. pro rite? Next week we will be running 8 rounds (i think). Morning jog: 3 rounds, PE: 4 rounds. So tiring.
My timing for 4 rounds wasn't tat bad, i just hope tat i can finish my 6 rounds at this rate or even faster but definitely not slower. After running, we went to the fitness gym to 'stretch our stomach muscle' by doing sit-ups, something like sit and reach and other exercises to train the stomach muscle. We did 3 sets of everything!
Sports leader meeting. We were looking at the different trophys and medals. This batch was nicer than the previous ones on monday.
It started to rain at around 2 plus. How to carry on with heats? haiz... Now everything is pushed back to thursday and thursday will be a very busy day. Went for art lesson after lunch. Painting for the whole art lesson. Finished 2 colour sketches and started on my actual painting. :)

Tuition early in the morning. After tuition, watched a show " Walk the Line". It was kinda boring. Had lunch before continuing the next half of the show. After the show, used the computer for a while and had to go to plaza singapura. At plaza singapura, we went to the roadshow for community chest where there were artises performing --- Taufik, Sly, Rui En and Jeanette Aw. First up was Sly, he sang 3 songs, 2 in english and the other is in chinese. Next was Jeanette Aw, she only sang 1 chinese song. Next was Rui En, she sang 2 songs. Omg. I like her dress and her boots. Lastly was Taufik who sang 3 songs. We were waiting behind the gate to watch them leave. Took a photo of Rui En before she left. :) Went for dinner at Crystal Jade before walking around plaza singapura. Finally went home.

CCA today at 8am. PT first, ran 3 rounds before playing H2O. After H2O, we had footdrill. When the other schools arrive, especially Peirce Sec, we timed louder and did everything better. Hah. We had zone com breifing after that. We were introduced to the organising team, we had to know the rules and regulations as well as the area restrictions. The exciting part was to draw lots to pick our group's no. NA picked first. Our school's NA team is NA2! Next was NC. Xilei's group is NC10! Huiying's group is NC6! And my group is NC3!!! Although we all wanted NC5, none of us got it. I realised that my last last year's minicom group was NC4, last year's zone com group was NC6, last year's minicom group was NC5 and finally this year's zone com group is NC3! 3, 4, 5,6! Continued with cca after the breifing. We taught the sec 1s bandages --- elevation sling, arm sling and head bandage. Finally, cca ended. Went home to have lunch and I was so tired that I slept for more than 5 hrs!

After English lesson, had A Maths test. OMG. Dunno how to do qns 4a, b, c, 5a and optional qn. haiz... Aiming for working marks instead of answer marks. Had recess duty today. Bought plate food instead of toast, quite surprised that Jia Xing never buy plate food so stand there and tempt her. hahas.While drinking soya bean, Jia Xing made me laugh until I pratically spitted out the drink lah. Back to lessons again. Got back my Chemistry test paper, so low! And Ms Praveena still said that the paper was easy. haiz... After English lesson, went to watch the chinese debate, 3C against 3W. The debate was really interesting, not boring because got Diana and Wang Ling 'acting' out whatever they say. So funny and entertaining.
After debate, went to help out in the sports heats. Assigned starter today. So fun. I get a whistle and a green flag and get to command for the runners (4x100). After the event was over, went back to the pe room to type out the results. Around 5.40pm, went for training which is like really really late already. Had a first aid case before ending training. haiz... quite a failure for me...

Met Selina at Yio Chu Kang MRT Station today at 9.30am. During the MRT trip to Somerset, I was telling her everything about PMB camp. Met Peiting at Somerset MRT Station. Went to Cineleisure. We were so early, most of the shops were not open. Waited until most of the people arrived. At 11am, all of us went to K-box. My first time there. The room was really big cos 23 of us were there. Sang lots of songs. Jiawei sang the girl part of 1 song, we were laughing like siao. hahas. After K-box, we went to watch a movie --- yours, mine and ours. We went in late. The show is really funny and nice although it is a little short. Went shopping before going home. Took MRT with Selina, Hazel, Hilda, Lim Zhen, Wei Sheng and Daryl. Today was a really nice day, a gathering for all of us. Too bad not all of us could make it. The 22 girls and 20 boys.

PMB camp was really FUN!!! :D
1st day:
We assembled at the forum, waiting to be split up into 9 groups. Same group as Estee, Jaslene, Ameline, Huiying and Ying Chen! GROUP 8! Our facilitators are Andrea and Karina. So, we brought our bags to the drama studio and had ice breakers among our group eg. Wacko, blow wind blow...
Next was the games. We were competing against Groups 7 and 9. The 1st game was caterpillar. We won! The next game was form the longest line. We won again! The next game was tug-of-war. We won both groups! The next game was carrying the chairs thing. We won by a very close shave but we still won! hahas. The next game had no winner and the last game was the scissors, paper, stone. We won with half of group 7 at our side.
After lunch was Time Crisis. We had to find our 'kidnapped' facilitator and get a clue to proceed to the next station. Ying Chen found them first but screamed and ran away, forgetting to take the clue. hahas. We went to Bras Pesar first taking bus and the MRT. We played a game with the jelly. The jelly was damn nice, lemon-flavoured. Next we went to Carefour. The security guard thought that the whole group of us were trying to shoplift, running inside. So scary... Next we went to KK hospital. We played a game with the donuts. We were all hungry people. Next we went to the Esplanade. We formed 'I love PMB alot' with anything that we had. We had to go to the Botanical Gardens next. Here comes the tiring part. We waited for Bus 7 to arrive but we found out that it was only a night ride after 10mins waiting. So we took MRT to Orchard. Instead of taking the bus, we walked all the way, more than 5 km. WOW. My whole body was aching especially my feet. We got split up in Botanical Gardens and so had a difficult time gathering together. We didn't go to the last station at Chinatown. So sad, our very last station. We went back to school, running to save our facilitator. The race ended. We were all very tired after walking, jogging and running. We had our shower before going down for dinner.
It was night trail. I was really freaked out when people started screaming and shouting. After everything, I realised that the night trail was not that scary after all. We had to go to different stations and get a clue to the next station as well as to find the missing girl, Cherie. We ended the night trail at the Drama Studio. After washing up, we prepared for our movie at the AVA room.
We were choosing what show to watch. It was between Honey and School of Rock. In the end we watched Honey. It was quite a nice show with Jessica Alba acting in it. We watched till around 1.30am. Estee, Ameline, Ying Chen and I went back to the Drama Studio to gossip and waited for Andrea. Andrea told us that for the time crisis, the station masters thought that our group will complete the race cos we were the fastest then but we walked a long distance so we did not manage to make it. :( Slept at 2.30am at the Drama Studio.
2nd day:
Woke up at 6.15 am. Still so sleepy. Washed up before talking till 7am. Went down to the canteen at 7.25am. Bought myself a cup of hot milo. We were given $1 each and representatives from the groups had to go down to the shops around our school to buy breakfast for the group and the contest. Went to 7-eleven to get bread, buns, peanut butter, nutella, m&ms... Went back to school to prepare. We smeared the plate with nutella mixed with milo. Sprinkled crushed waffle bits on it. Cut out bread in shapes of the words 'We love U'. Decorated with m&ms. Looked so delicious. We ate our fill and waited for Ms Low to come to judge. After judging, we went to the MRP before proceeding to the AVA room.
Mrs Goh talked to us for 1hour. Next was Prize Presentation. Group 6 won the Time Crisis but our group was commended for walking a very long distance. hahas. We tied with Group 5 to win the Games. Group 6 won the night trail too. Other groups had different prizes. Our group had the most perseverance. Had quiz about PMB. 1st question was the funniest. Name the sec 4 board vice-head prefect, executive prefect and vice-head monitor. Jaslene answered the question, saying Daphne, Cherie...err... We shouted, "Our facilitator!" She asked who was our facilitator. Oh man. Karina larr! Ended the camp with evaluation.
We had lunch as a group before heading for home.
This camp was really great. I hope there will be another one like this. Leisure Camp! :D

2nd day of the workshop. We watched a video. It was quite okay, wasn't that boring. We played a board game called Cashflow. I was the banker, in charge of ALL the money. Cold Hard Cash. Estee, Huiying, Cheryl, Lynn and Xueting were the players. If I didn't remember wrongly, Estee was an engineer, Huiying was a truck driver, Cheryl was an airline pilot, Lynn was a ---- (oops! I forgot) and Xueting was a doctor. It was quite fun in the first place but it got more boring cos nobody got out of the rat race. In the end, Huiying, Cheryl and Lynn had babies. hahas.
Went for training. Practically did nothing. Only did a nursing and a first aid case cos I had sports leader meeting at 2pm-4pm. I am going to be so busy!

Financial Literacy workshop today. It was kinda boring. Wasn't really listening. Gossiping with Cheryl. The only fun thing was the activity --- Tic Tac Toe. But we didn't really participate in it. Finally at 12pm, this workshop ended.
Went to Jubilee to watch a movie at 4.45pm. Should have watched this movie long ago --- I not Stupid too. I laughed so hard at the front part and cried like siao at the ending part. My eyes were all red after the movie. It is a really touching show. I was holding the popcorn box during the movie. In the end, the sweet popcorn became salty and soggy because of my tears. hahas.

FIESTA!!!
it is really a success!
Ok.. So I got up early to go to school. Brought the 50 eggs cooked at home to school, kinda heavy. Mended the food stall although it was not my shift. At 9.45am, went back to class to change to full-u to report for pd. Mobile first-aiders for 1hr before slacking at the first-aid station watching the top-dancer go round and round. Changed out of full-u at 12pm. Went to the food stall cos it was my shift now. Good business for the grass jelly. It was too nice liao. Skipped the last 10mins of my duty and followed Michelle to bring Shen Hong around SNGS. Sat the top-dancer for the first time. Seat belt was kinda loose so was 'flying' out of my seat! hahas. Walked around to spend my tickets before helping out at the games stall and sitting the ride again and again. So fun and it is FREE for my class. hahas. Went to the food stall again cos the business was too good, alot of customers. Sold out the grass jelly and the HC boys came to help us advertise the tea-leaf eggs. In the end, we managed to clear the eggs. :) So cleared the food stall, Wen Shin, Estee and I went to make a dedication to 3 Loyalty and the HC boys. hahas. Estee and I were at the specs stand waiting for them to say our dedication.Went to the games stall again. Long long queue. We cut lots of the queue. hahas. It began to rain heavily at the end. So sad. We did not manage to sit the ride as a class. Cleared the games stall because of the rain. Went home with Estee and Wen Shin. We were sharing 1 umbrella, so pathetic. We were pratically wet! So, reached home. Tired. Wet!

Again a really LONG assembly. Many people were dozing off. Mrs Goh gave us a heart attack when she told us that our PPR will be given out today! Oh gosh!
Continued with lessons. Went back to Primary School days when we used blocks to do Mathematics. It is quite fun!
Then came assembly. Wang Lao Shi kept talking about fiesta when all our hearts are set on getting back our PPR. Anxious. Nervous. Finally when everything was settled, it was the time. Really disappointed in myself. I could have scored higher. When everyone around me scored high for their overall percentage, I am among the last few.
HC boys played soccer after school today. Quite unlucky that the hockey girls wanted to use the pitch. Played for a while before they had to help to carry goods. So poor thing. Kept running in and out of training. Haiz... Return home late. Dunno how to give my PPR to my mother. She's gonna scream, shout, scold... I am so dead.

Had a really long assembly today, mostly about fiesta. Introduced the HC boys to the school. Xilei's name bacame Xili! hahas. Everyone was laughing about it. Jia Wei gave a speech to the school. Next was morning jog --- 2 rounds! :) The HC boys sure can run. After announcements we went back to class to have lessons.
During recess, we ordered fried food for the HC boys. Went for sports leader meeting and came back to see so much fried food left! Tried to give people the fried food. In the end, the fried food wa given to the security guard (i think). Accompanied Jie Yang to return a plate of sheng mian. The aunty was quite shocked that we returned the food. Went to the playground to take photos.
Continued with lessons. Last 2 periods were free periods. Wanted to find Mr Foo and talk to him. In the end, we did not talk. Brought the HC boys to the library. At around 2, brought them to play the 'big chess' at the primary school block. Ordered pizza for their lunch. They wanted to pay us the money as they feel guilty but don't they realise that we feel guilty too last week for accepting the treat from them?
Was late to board the bus to go to the art museum. We went to see the sculptures. 1 of them was worth $10000! The sculptures with animals on people were very cute. Next we went to the Singapore Art Museum. There were 2 exhibitions but we only visited 1 as there was not enough time. Looked at all the cubism works. Sketched 2 cubism works on Mother and Child, both works were from Philippines. Went back to school and was dismissed. Saw that our class 'Top Dancer' had arrived at the carpark! It is really big! So fun!

Thursday (4th day at HC):
Went back to St Nicks for investiture. Investiture started at 9. I like the entrance of the prefects and monitors. Very grand. Speech by Miss Choo, Guest of Honour, head prefect and head monitor. Giving out of certificates. 3 Loyalty has the most number of prefects! :) Performance time! The performance is the nicest part of the investiture. The performance was ok, at least I didn't do anything wrongly. After the whole investiture, we were allowed to help ourselves with the buffet! I love the pizza! After eating, took a cab back to HC.
Reached there and began rehearsing for our item. Went to the canteen for lunch before going back to the aphelion room to rehearse again. At 5pm, we were supposed to rehearse on the stage but there was a delay so we went to bathe first. We bathed at the boys' toilet while 2 boys guarded outside to make sure no one enters. I think we took a long time bathing. hahas. After changing into our performance clothes, we proceeded to the aphelion room to have our dinner. We had fried rice for dinner, so big portion! Nobody could finish the whole packet by themselves. Finally we had our proper rehearsal. After rehearsal, it was aphelion night.
There were performances from every class from the aphelion council. Singing, dancing, playing of instruments, acting etc. Everybody was so high that night, cheering, dancing, shouting, jumping... Our item was the 2nd last, so we waited a long time. Finally, our item, quite anti-climax cos everyone was so high then our item so orderly. haiz... Night time, we washed up before going to sleep at The Space.
At night, it was freezing. I was sleeping on the groudsheet and it was so thin. Kept waking up in the middle of the night. Everyone set alarm so handphones were ringing every once in a while. hahas.
Friday (last day at HC):
Woke up at 6am. Went to wash up before packing up. Went back to class to put down all my belongings before going for breakfast. While having breakfast, a cup of milo was spilled so the boys had to bring a bucket and a mop to clean up the mess. While squeezing the mop dry, the handle broke! hahas. In the end, they had to use their hand to hold the mop to clean up. After breakfast, we attended assembly. After assembly, we went back to class again before proceeding to take a bus to Jurong Superbowl. We changed into bowling shoes before bowling. My bowling isn't so bad after all, at least it isn't all gutter. Ended bowling with a strike! hahas. So changed out of the shoes, went to collect soveniers before leaving for school again. Went back, took photo, have lunch at the canteeen and went to the library for feedback session. We chatted with the OT and teacher-in-charge. Gave out feedback to them before going to see their ep3. Xilei and I went to see the st john. How they train for competition... Went home to bathe before going to sleep. I am so tired...

3rd day at HC:
We had assembly together with our class today.
Lessons that we had were: Chinese, Mathematics and Physics. ( i think that's all)
Chinese lesson: We had to do our composition today. I managed to finish my letter within the period!
Mathematics lesson: We learnt more about quadratic eqns. How to complete the eqns etc.
Physics lesson: Physics was easy to understand as we were on the chapter lens which we had learnt before.
I managed to eat the canteen food today. It was okay except that the serving was simply too much.
Assembly: There was this discussion about how to improve on the school, like a student forum where students voiced out their opinons. They discussed on issues like long queues during lunch, the old photocopy room etc. After the discussion, a contestant from campus superstar came to sing for us and to get our support for the next round of competition. The highlight of the assembly was a talk about skin care. The person-in-charge taught us how to have good skin complexion, how to get rid of blackheads (by using eggwhite), which type of soap to use etc. The talk was really interesting and enriching at the same time.
After lessons, we had lunch at the pool side cafe. It was a treat from our buddies. I think the bill was $200?!
After lunch, we had a workshop on photonics. It was very interesting and fun. We get to see 3-D pictures, learn more about optical illusions, watched laser videos etc.
After the workshop, we had to rehearse for the camp night performance. We are going to do grease and night fever. We practised for a long time to get the steps right. I think it is quite embarrassing to dance in front of our buddies...
Tmr is investiture. Tmr is the camp. Tmr is the ghost trail. I can't wait!:D
