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.

Yet another Dry Run for Einstein's Cradle
Went for another dry run for Einstein's Cradle again today. Had to be in school by 7 .45 in the morning though. Quite early for the start of the hols, lols. Dry run was smoother this time and every thing went well thoughout the whole session, lasted till about 12noon. Then I went back to Kranji Sec to return the choir blazer. Haiz... finally returned the blazer lolx. Drag for so long le. Just dropped it in Ms Ho's pigeon hole as she told me to. Didn't want to spend too much time there as well. But still, bumped into Mdm Yong just as I was leaving. Said a quick "Hi" and left.
Hmm... turns out that I will be having activities with the Alchemist Club on Wednesday as well. Going to miss some lectures again I think. Kk, shall sign off here, loads to do...Bye!

GP... GPP... then......GPPP?
Well, been a really really long time since I last blogged huh? Been very busy with school stuff, mainly PW since we have now moved on to GPP.
Well, its the 1st day of the June hols today, Vesak day actually, so no school. Shall blog about the more current stuff and the upcoming events. Basically had General Paper MYE yesterday which marks the start of the Mid Year Exams.
For the past week, haven't been doing much other than clearing off homework in preparation for closing of term.
Come tuesday, most of the teachers, Maths, Chem and Chinese teachers were not around so was quite slack. Lols.
Mr So placed me in charge of getting the class to complete some homework in class for chinese peroid and for Monday's lesson only six turned up. On tuesday none wanted to attend lesson. Zzz... so phail. Rofl.
Wednesday was mainly preparation for GP exam the next day so school ended early at 12noon. However, I stayed back in school for consultation with Mrs Fadzlin as she had specially booked the PW room for us to do consultations for GP. Took the time to write another essay for her to look through and had she felt it was good. Wrote another essay before this as well which got pretty much the same comments so was quite confident for the exam the next day. I did an essay on " Apart form making money, why work?" and "A marriage without children is meaningless. Do you agree?"
So for yesterday's GP paper, I did "Environmental protection is largely the responsibility of the state. Discuss." As it was an essay on environment, I was quite confident of it and it was not too difficult. Hope to score well.
Also just handed in my 1st draft of EoM ytd. Quite rushed actually cos I rushed home to complete it after GP exam and handed it in just after 12noon. Finally finished up Maths tutorial 5b and handed it in ytd as well with the class's chinese homework.
In the coming days and weeks, I have to attend some lessons on tuesday and friday and have also got a dry run of "Einstein's Cradle" which is a science event for some primary school students on Monday. The actual events will be held on Friday which means a full day in school again on Friday. On Wednesday, I will be attending a choir performance by my ex- choir, Kranji Choir which is guest performing for Tanjong Katong's concert. Met Ms Ho ytd on the MRT to CCK and bought a ticket already, hahas. Sure hope there are other choir seniors going.
By the way, MYE will resume when school reopens so there is much work to do during the June hols. Lols.
Also got back our GPP yesterday and so we have to look through it now and get it approved ASAP. We can then start the implementation of our project. Hmm, gonna be a really busy June hols.

A long and busy Weekend
Got back chinese test results on tuesday, did quite okay but still could have been better. At least, I was not the top in the class. I scored 73/100 for Paper 2 and 35/60 for Paper1. Apparently my Paper 1 was "li ti" but my last sentence saved me. Hahas, that was a stroke of intelligence ya know. But will try to do that less as really, that way of writing will bring about my downfall ultimately.
Therefore, I have decided to make time to write some chinese essays every weekend and GP essays as well as Econs essays. Then I will get the teachers to grade them.
Got back PI draft 2 on thursday as well. Got a slightly higher grade this time but still lots of room for improvement. Going to use the long weekend( due to Labour's Day in lieu of today) to redo my PI one last time before final submission.
Also had a Physics test just ytd and I feel that it was not very well done lols. Lots of questions I did not know how to do.
Here are several things I need to accomplish this weekend.
- Review all my Chem, Econs, Maths and Phy topics as much as possible
- Complete all my homework
- Do a write up of the PE project
- Complete the design for GC designing competition
- Revise for Chinese oral- Complete Chinese online homework
Going to end off here. Lots to do as you can see. Btw its also labour's day today so must work. Rofl:)
