Today, we finally started CCA. Oh yeah, I forgot to say... I got badminton. Today's training was 99.99% tiring and 0.01% painful. First, we were asked to show off our skills (selection). But, unfortunately, several people were _ _ _ _ _ _. The word is too strong to be used. Those people included, Zheng Huan, Tan Rong and Eunice. That meant that I was the only one from 102. After that, we had to run and hit the imaginary shuttlecock to train stamina. Then, the coach bullied me!!! I had to lob 300 times for 3 people, 100 times for each one. My hand was gonna die! Ok, let's talk about the coach. It's a scary, stern and strict "she" from China who doesn't speak any English. I'm getting bored of China coaches. Later, we could rest a little but the finale was 100 push-ups! DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realise I've been spending too much. My wallet is getting lighter and lighter. Today, in all, I spent $5.60 (2 Sportades, 1 Apple Juice, 1 Chicken Chop) in the canteen.
What would you do?

Argh, I'm cracking my head over a bio project. How am I supposed to make a model of the human digestive system?
I just wanted to share this video. It's seriously very touching... and sad.
Yeah, I haven't posted for 8 days. Sorry, I really am very busy. K, nothing much happening in school. We're getting in-class assignments, take-home assignments and quizzes so far. Then, French lesson is super fun cos the teacher is really funny. Eg, he says something in French and asks the class to repeat. Later, he asks, "What does this mean?" (in French)... But we repeat: "What does this mean?" Math is probably the most fun period because of the most fun teacher. Bio is worst... I just don't really like the teacher. Today, we went for a Maths Olympiad selection test. It was quite easy, compared to past Olympiad competition questions. That's all for now, I guess.
Oh yeah, yesterday... We went to some aviation place where they train pilots. There were two simulators. One was turntable and the other was vertifuge. Vertifuge sounded more interesting but I got stuck in turntable group. Well, turntable is they put you in a cupboard-kinda thing and spin you around. You won't know that you're spinning when you're at like 10 revolutions per min. So dizzy... They are supposed to disorient me. But they succeeded... sadly. And tomorrow, most of the RI, HCI, Wendelyn, Jun Jet and I will be flooding the Rosyth staffroom! K, I'm gone
Wait... Why isn't anyone tagging? Is it because I'm not posting? You can't blame me. I'm either lazy to sign in or I'm busy. Today was quite interesting. First, we had to do spring-cleaning because CNY is coming. After that, we had English. At first, I thought it would be boring cos the teacher prepared a ppt and asked us what was the purpose of languages and what it would be like without languages. Sounded boring cos it had no connection to our learning. But later, she divided the class in two and asked each side to write various types of texts in life on the board. The side with more types will win. Then, one of ours was dictionary. The other side wrote chinese dictionary. The unfair teacher accepted chinese dictionary and then, I began "scolding" the teacher. I complained in chinese. And everyone started laughing hard. I was complaining in chinese in an english class!! Anyway, later was maths... Later, we went to the audi for a briefing on what we would be doing in the da vinci programme. It's just a name but in the programme, we learn nothing connected to da vinci. We learn stuff like pollution and then, go to science centre and places like that for some weird reason. During the briefing, Jerome and Andy were super mean. They used a tiny piece of paper, pretended to be someone else and wrote a love letter to two girls. Super funny!!! Not many were listening to the briefing actually.
Today, I found out the outcome of my application to change mother tongue. It is not approved. What can I do? If only I chose French as third... Alright, I don't really care about Chinese as third language now. Anyway, we saw chem teacher today. Gave us homework... sadly. I think the most interesting teacher so far would be Mrs Chui.
Yeah, I haven't posted for a while. Today is the earliest day that we were dismissed so far. There's no more orientation, if I'm not wrong. We started lessons today. For Math, it was super high-tech and cool. Our teacher has this software on her laptop. Tablet PC actually... And she gave us each a "remote control" kinda thing. So, she flashed a question for the whole class to see and we'll answer with the "remote control". But the questions were tough. We didn't know what was rational, irrational numbers and other stuff too. We had to make a guess for some. And with that software thing, she can see everyone's score. Guess what? I was among the top few. 5th or 6th - can't remember... NO!!! I'm not a genius. Our English teacher was boring. She made us create our own rules. That's all. We don't know any other teachers yet. I don't think there's any other interesting happening today. Oh yes! We have homework!!! It's the first-est lesson and we have Math homework. Shucks... Oh yes again! Our form/Math teacher announced to the whole class that she likes girls. We know what to expect.
First day of school
10:01 PM
Wait, yesterday first... Nothing much happened actually. We went to see my ultra-huge god family. They now have a new member in their team. He's 2-year-old Andre (I don't know how to spell his name). They adopted Andre actually. Anyway, my generous godparents gave us a huge bag filled with presents.
Ok, today... My sis and I woke up at 5pm. Whoops, I mean 5am. No, my sis woke up at 4.30am. See, she's more kan chiong about school. Then, morning assembly was in the hall. It was so syiok! We didn't have to sing: "The boys and girls of Rosyth School..." It was national anthem and pledge only. After that, we had to endure Dr Hang. He's actually so much better than Celine Ng. Then, we went to our class. Hurray!!! I finally have a classroom on the first floor after 6 years.
Our mentor (teacher) is Mrs Chui. My mentor group (class) is 09102 (class 102 of 2009). Mrs Chui kept complaining that she was upset cos some irresponsible driver cut into her lane this morning. But she's a lame jokes teacher. Sounds firm and fierce but I think she's funny. After that, we endured super long talks. One of the talks was almost 2 hours long and had 117 slides in the ppt. After lunch, we had to endure our seniors and their talks.
Then, we received our tee and shoe bag. This year's theme is Jump In for orientation. So, our tee, shoe bag, water bottle and towel has "Jump In" printed on them. Btw, weiying... Don't complain that you guys went home late. We were supposed to be dismissed at 1.30 but we got dismissed at 4.40! My sis is pitiful... It's only her first day and she reached back at about 8.
