enrichment week - 2nd part
ugh.. i have sore throat and mild flu now.. can't talk properly.. can't have lots of nice food that i want to eat too.. sigh. anw, here's some updates on enrichment week. (:
nth much happened on wed and fri, but thurs was windsurfing day! YIPPIE! (:
windsurfing is a sports that's EASILY done on land (all the demo and try-out on land is totally fine) and then you go to the sea and all the theory doesn't seem to work anymore. >_<
but i was quite proud of my achievement though. okay fine it's not much.. i'm only able to stand properly with the correct position for a max of 5 seconds. then i will fall off the board. LOL. how to windsurf like that?! but hey.. it's only a
ONE DAY COURSE. what do you expect? haha.
it's really very fun falling off into the sea so many times and then watching your friends fall off into the sea so many times too. hee.. the sea water really sucks though. and when you fall backwards, some of the water will go into your eyes, nose and mouth. EWWWW. yucks. plus it stings and hurts a lot too.
and now my whole body, top to bottom, is aching.. ouch. my shoulder hurts. so does my back. i have bruises everywhere, on my 2 knees and on my hands. i sprain both my index fingers, i don't know how i did it.. o.O plus there's a chunk of flesh missing from my left hand's middle finger. hmm. no wonder it hurts so much ytd. but well.. i guess it's still worth it. i had lots of fun. (:
my dear mommy was
very nice about it btw!! she was like: aiya, who tell you go sign up for this kind of thing one.. serve you right la. blah blah..
HMPH. i think she'd love it if i sign up for all the talks under the sun, like marine conservation, the elegant universe, etc2.. basically all those activities that just need me to sit down and listen. -.-" no wonder i turn out this way.. so unfit. lol.
and on further thought, i think my mom is sad that she has a daughter like me.. sobs.. =(
my mom would love her kids to be kiasu and enthu, be the 1st on the line for everything, especially for excursion and stuff.. and sadly, she gave birth to me, who is such a slowpoke and always the LAST one to go anywhere.. sigh.
still rmbr when i was young, there was this field trip organised by my school. my grandma woke up super early and fetched me to school early so that i can be the 1st one to board the bus and sit in front. but sadly somehow i'm still the last one to board the bus! haa..
actually i don't think it's my fault. hmph. it's not i slow loh.. it's other kids too fast. they so enthu for what?! the bus won't go anywhere what! haiy0.
RANDOMNESS!

FREE at last.
WOOHOO! CTs are way over and now is enrichment week le. i see i haven't updated for quite
some time. hehe.. busy MUGGING mah.. can't blame me.. haha. see i'm not a closet mugger! i'm a proud self-proclaimed mugger! LOL. =P
anw, i hope results will turn out to be pretty okay this time. i'm emotionally exhausted to keep getting all the shitty results. sigh. my all-time aim is always a DODO which i never achieve before. WHY! hmph. hope it'll be better this time. (:
went to tiger beer factory on monday morning. it was err.. unsatisfactory to a large extent. here's why:
1. the
nicest teachers-in-charge in the whole wide world left me and hupkee in NJ. we came to atrium at around 9.55 cos the time table in the book says gather at 10. we're such early birds. (: anw, there was no one there! only got a whole big bunch of starbucks peeps. so we waited and waited until another 2 ppl show up (hupkee's friends) who are also gg for the tiger beer. so we rotted there until like 10.15 before deciding to call one of the teachers (which due to the goodness of my heart shall remain anonymous). and she happily tell us they're on the expressway to jurong already.
HOW SWEET! they din even bother to call us or what for not being there. they din take attendance. they din do head count. nothing. well, i know it's partly our fault.. cos by right apparently we're supposed to meet at 9.45 and we very blur-pok so we dunno. but i think teachers hold half the responsibility? at least it'll be nice to give the students
one measly teeny weeny call? and no one bother abt the 4 of us. they even gave our places to other students. GREAT! (:
the 4 of us end up taking a cab down to the factory ourselves..
2. the trip wasn't as great as i tot it would be and my 10 bucks is so not worth it. the factory is so freaking hot and most of our time is spent listening to how they make the beer. well it's quite insightful but i'm more interested in how they market their products and how come it's so successful both locally and internationally. sigh. and the souvenir isn't very nice either. haha. okay this is out of the point.
3. the teachers. (AGAIN. lol.) one of them was lecturing us on the bus abt how unprofessional the tiger beer ppl are cos there are a lot of things we din manage to do. then still tell us cannot be like that when we grow up.. blah blah blah..
um hello? are you behaving professionally urself? you din show any care and concern for ur missing students! hmph. and when we reach NJ she kind of refuse to chop our cards by being so sarcastic abt our irresponsibility of being late. well yes we're irresponsible. but she is too. it's the responsibility of the teachers to account for her students yeah? and when she din even bother abt missing students AT ALL, she isn't exactly displaying a very responsible image. -.-" she needs a mirror man!
well anw, she did chop for us in the end. hee.. if not i'll file a complaint! >_<
so much yucki-ness on monday morning. archery in the afternoon is okay though. i simply love archery! (:
went for SPH excursion on tuesday morning. 100000000 better than tiger beer excursion! i love the trip! it's super insightful, interesting, fun, etc2.. (all the good vocab) and the guy who's giving the tour is really nice and sweet. he even gave us free file, super pretty notebook and newspapers. hahaha. so sweet of them! and i only pay 2 bucks for this excursion? so worth my money! (: and the best thing is that the print centre is full air-con. YAY-ness! no more constant sweating during tours. WEEEE!
okay i'm giving the impression that i'm very cheapo rite.. getting so excited over all the FREE goodies.. lol. =P
had archery again in the afternoon (it's a 2-part session). even better than the previous day! all shooting, no more lectures. haha. so fun!
and my group (me, hupkee and a guy which i forget the name already - chinese name very difficlt to rmbr) WON THE GROUP SHOOTING COMPETITION! big congrats to us! so happiee! haha. we managed a score of 240/270. (2nd highest grp at 231/270 and 3rd highest grp at 223/270) not bad at all. and there's even a time where we scored 85/90 for 1 set of shooting. cool! maybe we have hidden talents.. hmm.. =D
just for info, innermost circle (bullseye portion) is 10 points and it decreases by 1 point each for the following circles after that one. one shooter will shoot 3 arrows each time for a total of 3 sets. the total score of all 3 shooters is then added up to give 270 points.
well, so much for these 2 days' activities. more to come! hehe.. shall be updating abt the other days' activities asap. (:

i love kids
WEEE, went for the FP class cip today and decided to help out with the junior groups. so fun! haha. all the kids are like so cutee~ (:
i think the students-in-charge (lydia and elaine?) are super fantastic with children! wish i could be like them.. i'm like so lousy and don't know how to handle them.. sigh. so much for huppy's theory. -.-"
but i was kinda sad that i couldn't participate in the game though.. i was supposed to be the 'crocodile' station master but when i was accompanying the kids draw on their hats, this kid just started to cry cos he wanted to see his mom! i freaked out!
then i brought him to the lady-in-charge and she told me his mom not there.. oh no!
HOW! so she said i should try bringing him to walk around and calm him down.. and since i need to attend to him, i kinda missed the game... somebody else took my crocodile role and i ended up rotting with the kid and cleaning up after him (he keeps spilling water everywhere..)
ahh sigh. but nvm, i can see that most of the kids have fun and that's the most impt thing. (:
oh and joyce said that playing the slide is very fun and that i should try.. so i told her i scared the slide can't take my weight and the whole thing will just *kaboom*! lol. well obv that's a factor too. but the truth is.. i am scared of slides. hahaha. okie this sounds so dumb. but since i'm young, i don't dare to play slides one.. i don't know why.. hmm.
still rmbr the time when i was young.. i was at this BIG swimming pool in indo with super big and super many slides here and there. i climbed all the way to the highest one and ended up squatting near the opening cos i don't dare to go down. haa. then there was this boy that came and consoled me (he was so sweet! other kiddos just push me aside cos they want to play the slide and i'm blocking them -.-")
then after talking to him for a while i decided to take a chance! so i told him i'll go after him. then he *swoosh* down.. but i still don't dare to slide down! LOL. then i continue squatting there until he pops up again.. apparently he's determined to get me down.. so he told me
(YES i actually still rmbr what he told me YEARSS ago): "okay i teach you how to not be afraid okay. you sit at the hole there 1st".
so i followed his instructions.. see i trust him so much! then he sat behind me and PUSH ME DOWN!
MEAN BOY! i think i shouted my lungs out as i plunged into the pool! >_< and i think that's the last time i ever played slides? lol.
sheesh. boys and their weird ways to solve problems. -.-" it's too practical to be true.
ohh btw, today is my 1st time visiting mr tan's blog (angklung teacher). and after reading his entry abt this student that complains that he's a lousy teacher.. i feel like a
REALLY ROTTEN girl. i've been such an un-cooperative student and i still complain so much abt bunny! arghhh.. so from today onwards.. i shall love bunny and not complain abt him anymore. hee.. he's quite a good and hardworking teacher actually.. (:
anyhow, went to watch soccer match (NJ vc HC) on fri to accompany ezzah. quite fun to watch la.. hee.. and then while having dinner with her.. she told me sth MEAN abt my blog! hmph.
SO disappointed.thus i shall end this entry by saying i hate ezzah! haha.
