Thursday, June 29, 2006 @ MAGNETIC TOYS
today is wednesday, school started quite boring as usual. I was very sleepy in the morning and decided to sleep in class. In the end, i DIDN'T sleep at all. miracle!
sian
well, we had a talk by Mrs Ramos, saying that we are not putting enough effort in our work and studies. Okay lah, it's actually quite true and it is really describing me =S no matter how hard i tried to be serious in my work, i fail to do that. I really cannot do HOMEWORK at HOME.
After school my group in the SS project went up to the library to do a outline on conflicts. Supposingly, we had done it, but it is rejected by Mdm Lee during the lesson. So, we decided to do the conflict between Taiwan and China. I found that, the conflict is mostly caused by America and the conflict seems to be between USA and China more than between Taiwan and China
(if don't understand, nevermind). i left the group at about 3.30 pm as i got more important things which is the Youth FOr Causes Project to attend. and i am really sorry that i didn't really help much.
well, I was RELUCTANT to sell those toys at first (YFC proj) as i was really REALLY tired. but after i manage to sell the first one, i forget about the tired-ness. Esp when a guy went up to us himself and said he wanted 12 of them. this feeling is really great, when you really earned money to help those kids.
we sold about 100 toys in 4 hours, it was difficult telling people to stop when they are rushing. Most of the time, we are rejected. some, we convince them from buying the toys by telling them we are really helping those kids, blah~ and i learnt a lesson today. and that is "
never goes to a FLAT when you are unsure of its building design"
well, it was true. at 1st we went up a block near Tampines Regional library to try out selling the toys door to door. and guess what, whenever we went up a storey/level of the block, a new corridor appear!! and we are lost, not in singapore, not in tampines BUT IN A FLAT/BLOCK. well it sound stupid.
Whatever, after being rejected again and again, we gain experience =) and we earned alot of "ching ching" $$
Saturday, June 24, 2006 @ THE NEW TIMETABLE
the new timetable is out and it
sucks. Seriously lah. I dont know what to say about it, everyday go home late, and by extending our study hours, will make me sleep more in class. i seriously dont see any advantage in this damn "extending school hours" scheme.
well the teachers can say that:
- they can have more time to teach
- they can get more salary
- they can torture the students
- they can put us to sleep and punish us
- we can learn more things
- we need to catch up on the 'O's
- we need more time and we are running out of time
- we need to study harder
but, as a student, it's really killing and i dont know if i can cope. all i see are the disadvantages and here are some things I want to Protest on:
- it's tiring lah
- we cmi [cannot make it] and won't make it
- we can't have more rest
- we can't have more time to do homeworks at HOME
- we can't have some entertainment too
- we don't have life
- we will be stress out
- we can't finish HWs on time
- the teachers need rest too
- we will lose all interest in studying
- our textbooks need a rest
- lunch time are useless
- make us hate school
- lead to depression
- more students disobeying school rules
- i got better things to do
- etc~
there are more to mentioned, but i'm too tired to type. sick and tired of school.
Stress-out people..
Sunday, June 18, 2006 @ TODAY
today went to the meeting of
COL [CAPtains Of Life],well, we were allow to stay until 12 in the afternoon. Samantha Brought the paintings to school, they are Colourful and great [although the frames need $]. And guess what, not even a soul of the Students and Teachers are seen in school. and so we discuss and discuss, looking for volunteers from Junior College, Poly students AND OTHER PUPILS OF SEC 1 AND 3. and immediately after we discuss, went to put the paintings and finally we reach our destination, Tampines Junior College!! and we fail to meet the teachers, stuck at the first obstacle "the security guard".
well, we go to the 7-11 and take bus 293 back to interchange. Since tomorrow is Father's Day and my father is overseas, i don't need to spent my money. but Sam and meiyi went to search for presents and i go with them as i got nothing to do anyway. well, Sam got $6 only and the present is $12 - $30+ and meiyi got $5+ and she got her Dad a portable Radio[not potable]
well, have a nice time talking about Politics of Taiwan and Singapore, Our ambitions, World Cup,
Olympics 2008, Pri school days, Tv Programmes, poverty of other countries, how to commit murder and hide evidences and ETC in the MacDonald.
and that makes me worry, What job should i take up? Doctor, Musician, Resercher, Vet, engineer, Teacher, Surgeon or just sell newspaper by the road? Alamak.
one thing is not fair about YMCA.
THEY GOT MY EMAIL WRONG!! I CANNOT GET THE UPDATES!!!
Friday, June 16, 2006 @ What Had Happened
ok, i'm writing down what has happened yesterday and today.
YESTERDAYwent to the library to do my last CIP with sm, well, we were given a job which is shelf-ing the books. and no lift which means we need to climb stairs. but climbing stairs is not a problem to me so we went up for about 4 times. the 1st time we shelf we took 1 hour and 20 minutes. because we shelf those books which others mixed them up at the wrong shelf. [ dont understand nevermind] It is a never ending job as people just like to put those books anywhere they like (like me) and we cant finish it.
the 2nd time we went up, we took 30 mins. 'cause we decided to shelf only the books we suppose to shelf. It's 4 basket full of books.
the 3rd time we went up, we took 25 mins. the books are getting lesser and our speed has increased. we are just too fast.
the 4th time we went up, we took 15 mins. even lesser books for us to shelf so we did everything fast.
then we went down, daydream for 10mins and was given another job. shelf books [ with librarian] went to the 1st floor library mainly for kids. there is more lively than the 2nd floor. and the books are thinner, more easy to shelf.
went back to the room, slack until we were told to go home.
TODAYokay, today is crap. went to buy alvin present with candy, we suppose to meet at 1.30. but candy change the time to 2. then at about 1.55pm, i found that i forgot to bring
Money$ and candy haven eaten. so i walk home from central park as fast as i can while candy eat as fast as she could. finally we met at 2.30 pm
went to century square to buy alvin present and the box. well, the price are okay. after buying we called xuning. they are still at Kbox, singing away, telling us to meet them at central park at 6pm. well, i was bored to death by then. we went to KFC 1st and to Popular bookshop and to Toy 'R Us, finally to Alvin's house. ok, why we went there? because we got nothing to do and we went there to watch him play maple and Sims 2.
Xuning smsed. telling us to meet at 7+. about 7.45 pm we went to meet them. while waiting for WeiHan, Alvin ate alot of fries which they "DaBao" for us from mac. we continue to discuss about our vacation, Homeworks and Blah, Crap. And went home after that.
ALVIN,
HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY!!

Wednesday, June 07, 2006 @ THE MEETING
we have a meeting today, a YFC meeting at 7.30 in the MORNING. this is crap, i know and the leader is late because she cannot find the YFC file. well, what else could i say.
we spent 30 mins waiting for all members to come and finally at about 8, all was here. Okay, not all, Elson didn't came. so we decided to build a pyramid out of bottle caps. and we dont have enough. so me and samantha went to the recycle bin in our school and take all the bottle caps in there. it was dirty, and some with soil, YUCK. but since, the leader say it's ok to be dirty, i don't mind at all.
BUT the caps are NOT enough. we digged all the rubbish bin in school in search of bottle caps. still not enoough so we went outside the school and digged the rubbish bin and recycle bin, leaving no stone unturned. WE ARE DESPERATE FOR BOTTLE CAPS!

crap, but it's true you know.. we really did overturn all the bins in school and we could do that because the OM is not in school today. How lucky =]
In the end, there is still not enough to build a pyramid.
well, there's something good anyway [not sure if it is really a GOOD news]. I STARTED MY HOMEWORK!! EMATH AND I FINISHED only 1ST QUESTION! ( well started it quite reluctantly )
Tuesday, June 06, 2006 @ JUNE
it has been days or rather weeks ever since i last blogged. It's already June. well, the holidays are fun and i'm still enjoying it =]
a few days ago, i went to the attend the East Coast Biodiversity Workshop. It was fun looking out for those sea creatures on the beach. these are some of them which i saw:

this is the seagrass there's quite a lot of them there. even saw some sea snails feeding on them

this is a sea squirt, it has 2 opening on the top and i think i works like a filter? whatever

This is a sand dollar, it's a kind of starfish actually.

this is a horseshoe crab, it's living in this world since the dinosaur period, it's known as a living fossil. Interesting uh? there are more interesting facts. but i won't write it down

it's a sea cucumber (this is an animal, not plant), it squirt out liquid substance to distract its predators. sometimes the predator is not distracted by the substance, and the sea cucumber will squirt out its guts/intestines for the predator to eat while it get away. after it squirt out the guts, it will take weeks to grow back a new guts. cool man!

this is a carpet anemone, see the hole in the middle? it's a place where it eats and remove waste [shit] (this is an animal, not plant)

this is a sea pen, a dead one. it is an animal too. i'm not quite sure how it function

these are button shells, mostly contain a hermit crab, those shells have really nice colour and patterns

this is a hermit crab, it's a nice crab, esp. the shell. There's alot of them at Changi beach.
well, in this trip, i know a lot more animals. it is a learning experience for me. I kind of miss catching crabs, pressing sea cucumber and look for seahorses. well, i guess i will go back some days to have fun.
