ARRGH!!!! I have a sore throat from screaming and cheering too much during the Youths' Day Celebration...
It was quite enjoyable, something I did not expect, but I woud have preferred more water games that would get me wet from top to toe, because it was such a scorching hot day!!!!
Anyway, we drew on our hands! I mean only our class...KEZO RAWKS!!!!! =)
This friday will be the Yr 1s official enrolment in Guides, and also the Yr 4s passing down...I'm gonna miss them...
Although they always reprimand us during evaluation, I know that they are disappointed inside too, they are nice people actually...They are very helpful, it'll be hard to see them leave...=(
So, the Yr 1s, Yr 2s and yr 3s have to come up with an item to perform for the Yr 4s.
We Yr 1s chose 2 sing and end it with a cheer. the title of the song is our level song "You'll Be In My Heart"...Well, we changed the lyrics a bit to fit the atmosphere of the "passing down" and express our feelings.
We have not finalised the dress code yet, but I think we will look adorable in t-shirts and coloured scarves...
And we'll also be waving cardboard hearts when singing the song...
Hmm...I wonder how I would look in the guides uniform...I would look blue, I mean not blue with melancholy...And plus the yellow scarf...
For the enrolment, we are going to stay overnight!!! Isn't that so COOL???
Although this is the 5th time I'm spending the night in school, I'm not tired of it because I've heard many scary stories from my seniors about this former RJC campus, and it seems that it would be much fun at night.
Well, I enjoyed the night walk A LOT in the very first guides camp...
I heard that the parade square is in an irregular shape that looks like a tomb, and that the two flagpoles are like joss sticks. Well, you will see this shape if you look from the top floor...
Hmm, I didn't notice that, maybe I should try looking one day, maybe this friday night, when I spend the night in school, hahahas...It would be more fun to look at it at night, maybe it will come alive?
Nah, too much of imagination...
Anyway, two of my friends, Yvon and Sher Min, fell down on friday. Yvon fell down at the two bars in the gym, and Sher Min fell while getting ice for her...
Poor Things...
I just drank a cup of Manuka honey and I'm feeling much better now for the moment...
It does work!!!!
Anyway, to those 2 friends and others who have lost their voice due to cheering and screaming like me, GET WELL SOON!!!
I know that their injuries aren't as bad as my sickness, so i must be optimistic =)

4 more days of holiday left....Hmm, I'm one of those "well behaved" ones who have finished all my homework, *bleahs*...
4 more days left also means 4 more days to think of how we are going to plan the "welcome back" party for Ms Kheng.
I hope that everyone has written their names and well wishes on the poster...
Now we gotta decide our food and whether we need anymore decoration...
Who wants pizza? Cake? Ice cream?
And for our drinks? Let's get something less gassy, like Green Tea, Pink Dolphin, Peach Tea, etc.
Do we need any extra deorations like streamers etc?
Oh, I almost forgot!!!! We can present her class t-shirt to her as a present, I think it's with Mrs Tan.
So when I've collated the suggestions, i will draw up a list of who to bring what =)
To those good pupils who bothered to come here, please leave your suggestions of the party on the tagboard =)

Heys!!!! I have changed my url and my blogskin...
Now, I'm supposed to be doing my powerpoint presentation for History, but I have not received the other information from some of my group members, so right now I'm free for a while...
No, I'm not angry with them AT ALL, even though they were supposed to send it to me by today, because,
I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait I can wait
Well, this is my IPD MOOD, so I'm just gonna tell myself that I can wait. LOLx
I love my new skin, it looks so vibrant and the teddy bears are adorable!!!!
I realised that this June holidays have been a very very very very busy one because of homework homework homework projects projects projects...
Well, at least it gives me something to do, or else I guess I would be sleeping late and waking up late and watching tv all day long...
Hmm, I have a lot of new things this June...New shoes, new clothes, new spectacles, new bag, new blogskin, new url, new perspectives, new vows...LOLx
I have had more time to reflect on my behaviour and attitude in the 1st semester of Sec school life...And I'm gonna try and change it...
Right now, I am gonna try to be more optimistic and just be Lil Miss Sunshine...
Grade 5 Theory exam results...I took it in MARCH and now it's already JUNE, and I have not gotten my results yet...
I think I'm gonna flunk, it was really mind-boggling, brain-teasing, whatever...And it was the "S" paper, which was the most difficult among the four of them (A, B, C, S)...Well at least that's what my teacher says.
I had been aiming for a Distinction, now I don't think I can even get Merit...
Fathers' Day and my mum's birthday is just round the corner, what do I do when I flunk?
Morever, my dad has a flair for music and art. He can figure a melody on the piano just by listening to the song for a few times...
And his daughter stares at the black squiggly tadpoles on the page for an hour, and just can't seem to comprehend the melody. Well maybe yes, but there will be long pauses in between each bar...
As for art, I'm far from A+, and I barely got an A...The only aspect of art that I'm good in is origami, and who can't do that? Talk about genes...LOLx
My mum is great in languages, and her daughter got a B for LA...
I can do it, I'm not gonna flunk!!!! I can do it, I'm not gonna flunk!!!! I can do it, I'm not gonna flunk!!!! I can do it, I'm not gonna flunk!!!! I can do it, I'm not gonna flunk!!!!
That's better, my IPD MOOD is back...Stay optimistic, I'm not gonna flunk, I'm gonna pass, well MAYBE with flying colours =)
That's more like it =)

Oh no... I've not been posting for a very long time...I have been so busy with my never ending pile of homework (LOLx)
Anyway, i just attended a Guides skills training camp last Friday & Saturday. It was really really fun, although they were quite strict with us. It started at 8am in the morning. After we placed our bags in the hall, we proceeded to the field to pitch our tents and kitchen shelter n other structures. Just as the name of this camp goes, we really needed all the skills that we had learnt to build all these structures.
For the sleeping tents, we had to stick the metal pegs into the ground at a correct angle, align them with those of the other corners, and make sure that our tent did not sag, as we would be sleeping in them...
For the kitchen shelter, we had to get our square lash right, note where we put our different “木”, and get the angles of the pegs right. Our knots also needed to be very very tight, which meant we had to "chou 绳", so that that kitchen shelter doesn't collapse. The same goes for the kitchen dresser.
For the kitchen shaft, the "木" had to be knocked far in into the ground, and as usual, our knots must be very tight so that it doesnt topple over when we are cooking our food.
After lunch, it was time for our outdoor cooking. We collected our raw food and instant noodles from the canteen. We split tasks, and I was told to marinate chicken, under the guidance of my Yr 4 senior, while my Yr 3 seniors did the cooking.
The food was delicious!!!! We even had marshmallows and sliced bananas with chocolate to dip in for dessert!!! Finally, we cleared the place up and got ready for night OJ.
--Night OJ--
Our 1st station was the gadget making station. We had to construct a Roman Chariot within a given time, and transport one person from chair to chair. Our patrol was very "enthu" and we completed the task quite quickly, thus we weren't punished, YAY!!!!
Our 2nd station was the first aid station, where we were given a scenario and we had to tell the Yr 4s how what we would do and what first aid materials were needed. Then, we were supposed to act out what we would do. For every mistake made, we had to do some physical stuff like pumpings, sit ups, birdpieces(sp?) etc.
For the 3rd station, we had to run around the netball court in a given time. For every 2 rounds we ran, we would get a waterbag which we would need in our last station.
For the last station, we had to wheelbarrow 1 round around the canteen, and at the same time, transport our waterbags without dropping them. Then, we had to crawl under tables, also transporting our "precious" waterbags.
Anyway, our patrol won the OJ!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! IXORA FOREVER!!!!!!
The next day, we went for a hike in the vicinity of the school at 5am…… We were paired with Patrol 5, Kingfisher. We were tested on our map reading skills as we had to find out where the places were on the maps, using the grid references given. Although we were very tired, we still persevered.
Our last place was Macdonalds’, and we were the first group to reach there!!!! (Because we took a shortcut) After having our breakfast, a lot of us slept as we were very tired and remember, we woke up at 3.55am!!!!
After that, we played captains’ ball at the grassy area outside Macdonalds’. My seniors were PRO!!!!!!! Then, we returned to school to strike camp and “jihe” for evaluation on our gadgets.
Well, all of us owed our Yr 4 seniors 111 pumpings in total because of all our small mistakes, like leaving our pegs lying around. But our Yr 4 seniors told us to do a circuit of 30 birdpieces, 20 sit ups, and 2 rounds around the field.
Adding on to that, we had to hold boys’ style pumping position for 5 mins while our Yr 4 seniors scolded us. When we got up, we could see that they were about to cry…… Then, they asked us to proceed to have our lunch.
Anyway, I felt that I’ve really learnt a lot from this camp, not only skills, but the importance of punctuality and to have a sense of urgency. It is a good preparation for the Annual Training Camp, which will be tougher…
