finally one wk of school is over. next week is CNY already.. time to collect hongbaos and count the amount i get. hope it hits about $200 - $300.. today extremely SIENZ!! three sciences and one test.. today bio test ah.. haiz.. a little tough.. pass can liaox.. started falling asleep during physics lohz.. right after recess.. now still extremely sleepy..
after tt went to bishan nth there make specs.. i got an oakley-looking one.. (ok i noe, i'm fricking broke, no $, ok?).. looks quite nice.. will collect in time for CNY though.. altho i'd rather use the $100 spent on glasses to get a new hp lohz.. hahax. i noe.. i am a sucker for new stuff lohz.. i want my 6600 (will kill jap, hes getting his tmr..) /:
yesterday at least quite song.. no science.. only languages and humans.. so relatively slack. besides ytd had double chi, but the stupid thing is its split into two lohz.. with english in the middle. this sch has bloody sucky planning i tell u! really shitty! double period cannot put together one meh? haiz. this sch is like tt one lohz..
wed also quite slack. no pe bcos all pe teachers went for sec 2 camp. ms saras came in to relief and we did our own work.. at the end before next period she said "hope u enjoyed yr PE lesson".. lmao.. very the sarcastic.. :P then the assembly also quite stupid lohz.. wed is the only day i go home at 1.25pm and thx to assembly i always end up going home at 2.15pm. grr. can't they plan it properly?

ok i will continue with day two now..
Day 2
left house at 6.45am this time, popped into 7-11 to get a pepsi twist then walked to bishan mrt to wait for alice long. she was slightly later today, arriving at about 7.10am and we went off to the place again.. this time not many people were there and began setting up the projector and mikes, etc..
8.15am came and 95% of attendees were here.. mrs chaillon (its SHAY-LON) incase u don't speak french, came up with a stack of books and newspapers and even a handphone and started scolding us.. when latecomers streamed in she was so pissed she shouted at them.. haiz.. after wad happened to LHB the day b4 i'm not suprised..
she then began the talk at 8.55am and asked us to draw a timeline and our goals.. did that until 10.30am when it was time for tea. tea today was better.. a slice of cake and a kueh kueh.. much much more palatable than day 1. tea over, we went back where we gave LHB a standing ovation.. he then began talking again and soon it was time for lunch..
lunch was more appealing this time round.. fried rice with a chix wing and cabbage.. today there was extra food so i had an extra serving.. and wound up so full.. some jokers even went out to eat roti prata for lunch.. when its like 1km away.. crazy right? they managed to return in time though..
after lunch we watched rocky iii.. hahaha... apparently LHB found it inspirational, as rocky refused to give up and had the right strategies.. we then had a memory game and he asked pple if they could remember.. they could barely remember.. then he told a funny story involving the words and amazingly everyone could remember..
and that was it.. we all went home.. went home with george then got changed and left for dinner at thomson plaza.

OK. now its time for business.. gonna start tokking about motivational talk liaoz..
Day 1
OK, left my house at 6.50am to go to the place at some ulu ulu location in teachers estate. alice long pulled up at around 7.05am and i hopped on for the short short ride to the place. arrive there, was suprised to see so many people there so early.. kiasu or just worried of getting lost?
began setting up.. finished it real fast. almost everyone arrived on time at 8.15am, and as usual got quite a lot of latecomers.. the latest arrived at 8.50am, cannot have heard wrong thing right? LHB came in at 8.30am and began talking, first he began to know us by calling random pple and asking for names.. and did tt until teatime, where he threatened to not release us unless we told him our names.. LOLx..
teatime ah. atrocious. PATHETIC slices of "egg and mayo" sandwiches. SO small one piece can't even curb hunger till lunch.. had to eat 2 or 3 slices, then drank a cup of strong black coffee.. ahh.. hell, even eating roti prata is better than this!
went back in, where LHB talked more and showed us some video where this Polynesian guy was out to buy a wife and bargained 8 cows for her.. and her self-esteem went so high that she looked exceptionally pretty.. lolx.. the wonders of video editing.. after movie we started asking "how many cows are u worth"? ok.. i noe we're lame. hehx. poor keefe kenna teased, LHB called him "beef".. his nickname is "BEEF" lohz.. then the cow show was really very apt.. :P
lunchtime now.. and lunch was no better. hard clumps of rice and some sweet and sour fish, and some assorted veg. the dishes were ok but class monitor gave me so much rice i couldn't finish. the food on the first day was really really very horrible. again, i'd rather pay for roti prata.. but hey, its free food, so i can't really complain huh?
after lunch LHB went on talking, then showed another video about some guy without hands and how he lives his life.. very interesting.. hey after all can one drive with his legs or shop with his feet? not everyone can right? after the movie LHB was very angry wif those pple who didn't pay attention, he was screaming into the mike.. then he took a wine glass and god knows how he broke it, and there was a deep cut on his 4th finger on the left hand..
immediately st johns pple came to rescue.. while LHB was trying to keep calm.. t goh was SMILING as he brought the first aid kit. wth loh.. pple injured still smiling. what is this loh... took about 5 minutes to get the cut bandaged, LHB then bravely continued talking for another 5 mins.. then mrs chaillon came by and drove him to the clinic.. after he left we were then dismissed relatively early.. then i went home.. and typed sth, but obviously blogger screwed up
Posting PT 2 tmr.. look outta for it..

just came back from moving stuff for the motivational talk, so many things to move when we could have just used their systems instead. the place is so frickin ulu and one has to walk so far into the place! but thankfully alice decided to drive us there so not tt bad.. while the poor guys walk the long way in.
reached there at 3pm and had lunch/dinner at like 5pm.. the food there so~so only.. liddat our catering must be damn jiat lat liao.. taste horrible? i dun dare. food there so ex some more.. one can of Heaven & Earth green tea cost wad, $1.50 liao. go there two days got lunch and teabreaks we sure go broke (and restaurant owner lauff all the way to the bank)
tmr got CCA tour, have to attract the sec 1s liao.. bringing a whole stack of CDs there.. a little sien leh.. we got 3-2 classroom i dink.. that's like AT THE CORNER! while bowling gets 3-8 classroom, right smack in the center. and Sci & Tech gets the comp labs (aircon).. a little unfair sia..

funny, i can't seem to access my blogspot.com address, or others, for some wierd reason.. two days of sch have just gone by.. the way we're doin work is really reminding me that we're in sec 4 and have THAT big "O" word looming in front of us.. today we had a chem test with wang jiunn, i hope i got at least 8/10, if we fail will "fa cao" 50 times.. hope not sia! my hand will hurt
got some motivational talk by LHB next week, like, what's the point? who will want to go (actually, everyone since its compulsory) and go there listen to him talk crap. its from 8.30AM - 4.30PM SOME MORE! TWO DAYS you know! if it was 2 hours still ok, but TWO days. and it's at some ulu place. haiz. u can't have everythin i guess.
today DM toh was adressing everyone at assembly, and he forgot he was in cat high and started talking about "CHUNG CHENG'S" illustrious history.. lolz.. perhaps the only funny part about the assembly.. heh..

hello all, been away doin my homework the past few hours.. quite tired now.. today was the first full day of lessons, and alice long came in and dumped homework on us.. not suprising considering we're sec 4 already. bala came in for two periods and gave us a comprehension practice..
then wang jiunn came in and gave a chem quiz, luckily i remembered my stuff, he said tmr got another quiz for us to "refresh" our memory sorta. after tt was recess. time given was simply too short! by the time we walked there 11.25am liao. get food 11.35, and must be back to class by 11.45, and its not like the canteen's VERY near lohz.. walk like siao! time to extend recess.
after tt first bio lesson with jeff goh.. boring!! i kept yawning through the lesson and could barely remember a thing. at least with saras she gave notes and doesn't use transparencies so much.. haiz.. but we can't have everything you know.. history with chansey next.. she changed her hair! as george said she looks like goldilocks who ate the baby bear's porridge! really shock man..
so tt was my day.. after tt went home to chiong homework, i need a break now *yawn*

finally back to sch, lots of adjustments and change of teachers, mushroom's no longer our form teacher *yay*.. at least the new form teacher is decent enough, he seems to care about us..
form teacher - jeffrey goh
english - bala
chinese - mushroom
maths/a maths - alice long
physics - terence goh
chem - wang jiunn
bio - jeffrey goh
and the rest no change i presume.. it's a pity really, i'd rather have ms saras take us bio and be form teacher than jeff goh, i mean, he's not taught us before and we dunno how he's like.. heard she's teaching Sec 3 chem, and not bio.. a bit wierd leh.. a little heart pain.. budden got no choice since its school decided one..
wang jiunn taking chem was no suprise, hopefully can nudge an A1 out of me.. hehehe.. this yr is die die must bia books liao.. like t goh said we're not aiming for just O levels, but A levels.. haiz.. want to go NJ/HC but the route seems so tough. looks like i've got to spend A LOT less online and hit the books..
