Port Dickson Holiday
Went to some part of western Malaysia this week from Tuesday to Thursday called Port Dickson. Well sort of like a family outing for us for the last week of the June hols to do some fishing at the beach and just slack! Turns out that it was quite an interesting place where we could hear the waves from our chalet. The chalet is raised directly above the waters just along the shoreline and we could fish right from our chalet during high tides.
Mainly we just hung around the area which was a town and had our meals at restaurants there, mainly "Bak ku teh". That is, except breakfast. We had buffet breakfast every morning while we were there. Other than fishing, of course there was the beach to go to but I didn't go though.
So mainly was quite like other chalets around with swimming pools and all the other facilities.
Well, as for fishing, I didn't fish alot, maybe just once when I got there. Firstly, because it took really long for the fish to bite. I think it was probably due to the very strong currents in the sea while we were there. Secondly, as we weren't really catching the fish up to eat, needless to add that I don't really like eating fish, I felt there was no need to disturb the fishes by fooling them with a meal only to take them out of their comfort zone. Although we did free each fish that we caught, seeing the hook pierced through the fishes' mouth is still not a pretty sight. Thus, I decided not to fish too much.
We also took a catamaran out to sea on the second day and boy! The sunset was beautiful. Spent about three hours on the catamaran and slept about half the trip. Hais.. was really tired.
Had some seafood in the town area for the last night there which tasted really good. I realised that crab could also be eaten with a hammer. Hahas..
All in all quite a good holiday I'd say. Enjoyed the greenery and sea view there, also the fresh air. Took some pics also..
Needless to add, with so much to see and do, my homework laid forgotten once again...

Finally, Bukit Batok Nature Park
Went cycling yesterday evening at about 5pm. And I took a path I had never taken before. I went down the Bukit Batok Nature Park park connector. Finally, after some cycling, I found the park that I've been trying to locate. Cycled through the park and came out the other side. Then, followed the Dairy Farm park connector and came to Bukit Timah Road. Another place I've been trying to locate. Found two places, all in a day's work. Killed two birds with one stone man! After that tried to find my way back and got a little lost coz took a wrong turn but managed to get back at about 7.15. Quite a fruitful trip. Planning to go cycle again some time before school reopens.
I'M SEVENTEEN!!
Yeahs, today's my birthday again. And I'm 17!
And this year, quite suprisingly I might add, I received birthday greetings. Hahas, so many years my birthday has been forgotten by friends that I didn't even checking my phone for birthday greetings that this morn despite smses coming in I just ignored them. That's coz I didn't even considered that they might be birthday greetings. Rofl... and I slept in until almost 11am. Then I took a look at my phone and Whoa! birthday greetings. Really a surprise for me.
Then I went on to FaceBook and had a second surprise. It was literally flooded with birthday greetings on my wall. So my 17th birthday was not forgotten, Thanks to FaceBook. Hahas!

GPP IS FINALLY APPROVED!!!!
Went back to school today to return a stack of worksheets I took by accident into the class pigeon hole and saw my group's GPP. Took it and opened it and... found that GPP has been APPROVED! Hahas, finally after much waiting, GPP is approved. Now we have to work with our new teacher in Term 3 after school reopens for the implementation. Hais... more work to be done.
Actitvities for the past week( 02-07/06)
Okay will be blogging about some events that happened last week. Quite a busy week actually, despite it being the hols.
- Had Maths lessons on Tuesday( 01/06).
- Went for NTU Science activity on Wednesday( 02/06)
( 04/06) - Had Einstein's Cradle on Friday. I was an Ambassador in charge of Team 3 of De La Salle School. Was also an overall in charge of De La Salle School's groups. Hmm... went to "pick up" the primary 6 kids at the concourse at about 9am. Felt the activities for the day was quite fun and interesting. Hahas, immediately after the kid saw me, the first thing that they asked me was " Teacher, how much is your pay?" Rofl... I told them I was a student here and this was part of my CCA so no pay. Hahas... the kids were to be taking part in a competition as part of the activities of the day. However, as the questions were mostly of A level standard, the kids could not answer most of the questions. Thus, I felt the activities for the event were not really successful. Some of the kids might even have been confused a little and even got a little worried? As such, their answers to most questions were "teacher haven't teach".
Then again, it was also to a large part that the primary 6 students were not being initiative and "enthu" about the whole activity that might have resulted in it not being successful. For one, the students were not even interested in answering the questions for the competition. Furthermore, they were not thinking about how to answer the questions and were either handing all the work to one of the boys to do or just simply all not participating at all. Even when we tried to explain the concepts to them to help them in their understanding, they just simply were not interested. All in all, I think they learnt very little from this science activity as compared to other primary 6 students from other school such as Yew Tee primary, Bukit Panjang primary, Concord primary, Kranji primary and Unity primary. Most importantly, the DLS boys were not even reading the questions and trying out the questions. Sure do hope that is not their attitude towards their studies, their PSLE exams are just a few months away!
Anyways, the whole activity ended at around 1. 30 after the prize presentation. Needless to say, my team, despite all our efforts, received nothing.
( 04/06) cont'd - After the Einstein's Cradle, I met up with Wei Zhi and Tian Rui. Tian Rui wanted to go back to KSS to get his Graduation Cert and I decided to tag along after learning that the Graduation Cert was yet another Cert, a different one from the one we got on the day of the release of our results. Hahas, to think that I had been telling everyone that I had alr got my Cert when I hadn't. Mistake due to my assumption. Left PJ with Tian Rui for KSS after that, Wei Zhi went to library to study again. It was pouring heavily when we got to KSS. I went on ahead to the GO to ask for my Cert as Tian Rui wanted to wait for a friend. It was a black folder with my testimonial and other stuff inside, and a cert of course. Left KSS after that, by myself. Didn't meet any teachers this time round.
( 04/06) cont'd - Returned home after that and set off to Kluang, Malaysia, with my grandparents. Stayed over the weekend and attended a wedding dinner on Staurday. My parents only came late in the evening on Saturday so we had one day without my parents, hahas. I actually drank a glass of wine by myself on the wedding night. Cools!
Returned back to Sg on Sunday evening.

Science Activity at NTU
Went for some Science activity at NTU today. Was some Chem and Physics experiments sort of thing to let us try out some of the scientific equipment at the labs. There was also a Chem lecturer who gave us an intro of the subjects there and some students who took us for a walk around the labs and school. Woke up early as I had to be at Boon Lay Mrt station by 8.15am, then took a bus down to NTU. I would say the whole trip was quite interesting and an enriching experience too. I learnt about Random Walk for physics and something about finding the concentration of solutions for Chem. We then had lunch at NTU's canteen after the whole programme ended at about 2pm.
