P.E. ICT Project (Saturday, October 18, 2008 / 10:38 AM)

So basically, we were asked to do a project on sports and we were suppose to mention 3 rules of the game and we had to film about 5 - 10 mins of playing the game. at first, we chose paintball, but since we were underage, we chose rock climbing. it was on thursday and i was suppose to have volleyball training but after explaining to the coach, she let me skipped training for that day. however, 3 of our group members could not make it. but luckily, si ya, candice and yu ning tagged along to and there were more ppl instead of just xenia, abuna and i.

but before that, in class, the girls gathered around to play a game of murderer, the boys were playing with their psps and some students were playing chinese chess. i was playin murderer and i became one of the murderers so many times. i'm always the one to kill someone first and the first one to get caught by the police. Si ya also brought a praying mantis to school but it died not long after she brought it. our science teacher was not here so abuna and wan qing were frantically writing the science answers on the board for us to copy. some boy were vandalizing a table and one of the class's windows broke.

so after lunch at MacDonald's,we set off to SAFRA country club. on the way there, it started to rain and we had to climb the indoor rock climbing instead of the outdoor one. when we reached there, we saw the outdoor rock climbing, it was extremely high. we were so lucky that it was raining. we went to the indoor rock climbing and the guy there told us there was a class going on so we had to wait till 4 and then register ourselves at the counter.

we had about 2 hours till 4 so we decided to go bowling. we booked one lane and took 3 shoes. it was such a coincidence that all 6 of us wore the same shoe size. the deal was, the person who lost the game had to pay for the pool table. we grouped ourselves in twos and started. after a time of competitive playing, xenia and i won, by 1 point and si ya lost because abuna didn't want to help play.

in the end, i did not know who paid for the pool table. we had a real fun time playing pool. i', not really sure how many games we played but i know that we played till it was almost 4. we headed towards the registration counter and we found out we had to have parent's consent but none of our parent's were there. but the ppl were kind enough to let us go ahead and he even gave us a discount, provided we come back again. he also warned us that there were really naughty boys in the room. at first, we did not mind, until we went into the room. the boys were so damn irritating. they kept asking for my number.

so we went up to the second floor. it was much colder up there and it was much harder to climb than the one on first floor. si ya was a little crazy. she did all these crazy stuff that could actually get herself hurt even if the floor was cushioned. then yu ning and someone else brought all the bags up but they forgot to bring my up. i went down and took a peek and a boy saw me and said"hey girl! come, my friend want your number" i quickly ran up. i got someone else to get my bag. i also did some stupid stuff.

i was at the bottom of the slope and si ya and yu ning was at the top of it. i was running on the spot, planning to sprint all the way to the top. si ya thought that if i was running , she would be able to see my head going up, but she didn't. actually before i ran up, i tripped and they started laughing. anyway after much fun, we played pool again and then candice's father send us home.

here are some pics....enjoy(xenia has most of the pix for rock climbing, waiting for her to send them to me)

training.... (Wednesday, October 15, 2008 / 8:08 PM)

yeah!!! training has finally resumed. yesterday we had volleyball training even though the weather wasn't that goo. but in the end, the weather had turned out fine, thank God for that. and after not training for about a month or so, i felt like my skills had gone quite bad. when i started hitting the ball a few times, i hand felt really pain. it was weird because that usually never happens. and yesterday's training was not tough at all but i still had muscle cramps.

anyway, when training ended, we had to take down the net. and while doing that, geraldine(vice capt) accidentally injured her leg. i could really see it was painful but she still persevered. mdm yau(coach) asked if she wanted to see a doctor but she refused so someone had to be brave enough to apply the medicine on her wound. and that brave person was none other than xin yi(vice capt)!!! hope that you are feeling okay geraldine..

there will be training tomorrow and i think we would be doing the notice board on friday. i can't exactly remember the what i drew for the design because i threw the paper away...and mdm yau say that we would be having a friendly match on saturday.Yeah!!!our first friendly match of the year.

we had a class committee meeting today. mr siva was sooooo funny. he really knows how to make ppl laugh. the class committee was broken up into 4 teams. and i found out i was the one who had to set up the toilet, sigh, how unlucky.

we learnt how to use the IPP kit(In Place Protection kit) in case of an emergency. we also had to carry out the whole process. we had to switch of the lights and fans, close all the windows and doors and then seal up half the class since it was only a practice. some ppl were cutting the trash bags, some were sealing up the doors with musking tape and some were setting up the toilet at the back of class. my class was sealing up the windows. we had to make it air tight such that no air can come in. the room was soooooooo stuffy. i was sweating as if i had just showered. it was damn hot.

in the end, we had to tear down all the musking tape and trash bags. it took us soooooo long to seal up the windows and doors but it took us less than a min to tear down everything. but at least we had learnt something. that's all for today!!!

best dream ever!!! (Monday, October 13, 2008 / 10:11 AM)

you know ever since the release of the new the academy is... album, fast times at barrington high, i've been listening to their songs over and over again. one day i was walking to school and listening to my ipod and the song 'one more weekend' caught my attention. i'm not sure if it is the tune or the lyrics that caught my attention but ever since then, i've been listening and singing that song over and over again. and i think it is because of me thinking too much of the academy is..., that i dreamt bout them.

it all happened last nite. before i went to sleep, i sang the song one last time. then i dreamt that the academy is... came to my class. i asked them if i could take a picture with them and i asked my friend to hold the camera. the band told me to wait, so i waited. i felt like the band hated me and was trying to ignore me.there was one thing about the class that had changed, the position of the tables. all the tables were placed facing the windows instead of the whiteboard.

the band was sitting behind me with another friend of mine. then i was doing my work . i was one of the last few students who were trying to finish up their work. while doing my work, i started to sing 'one more weekend', hoping to catch the band's attention. when i finished my work, i went up to them and asked if i could get picture then they stood up and they said 'lets go'

it turned out that the band was waiting for me to finish my work.i brought them to my house and i kept asking them to get a picture, but they kept doing other things. then time skipped and it turned to morning the next day. the band was sleeping in my brother's room and another room that i've never seen before.then i went to the study room and found gurmit singh down there.

adam and the butcher were in the toilet together, looking at the mirror. the toilet was totally diff.it was much bigger and nicer and it was beside the living room. then the butcher came out. i was eating a bowl of noodles and mike carden was sitting next to me and he started to eat my noodles. he said it tasted good so he ate somemore then it was either mike carden or michael who told us to hurry and take the photos. so i went into the toilet to call adam. he was shaving. so we decided to take the picture without him first. after that i woke up.

i went back to sleep and somehow time skipped again and i was in school with my camera. i somehow took the photos with he band during the time i woke up from my dream. the tables in the class were back to their original positions and i was showing my partner the pictures i took with the band. there was one without adam and one with the whole band and there were of course other pictures...this was one of the best dream ever!!!
