5th Entry - Getting scolded

It is a "what a day as the first day of school after the holiday". I got some harsh scolding today. Last week, my Chemistry teacher, Miss Boey, got everyone who did not complete their science assignment to see Mr Chia, the Discipline Master of school. And today is the day we have to go and see him. We went there as a group and he returned the book to us one by one. Not that easy of course. He asked me what is the reason for us not do do our homework and when I explained, he said "Don't give excuses." I just kept quiet, took back my book and went out of the room to finish up my work. We managed to complete it in a while and we waited for everyone to finish before handing in the book back to Mr Chia. After I rushed to the fourth floor for my CCA.

It all began well until my Sectional Leader told us to practise the song that will be performed for CIP mostly likely on next week. That was my first time playing that song so I am not very familiar with it. I managed to get some of the part right but whenever I got a mistake and unable to get it right in the next few tries, my Sectional Leader would start "screaming" at me. He used very harsh and mean words. I was very angry with him. I know that he can play exceptionally well but I am not that kind of genius who can master a song in a few tries. All he do is scold me. So I was fed up with him. When he dismiss us for break, I stayed and practise the song until I can at least play it without too many mistakes. And I managed to do it! Oh well, now he will not have any reason to scold me again.

4th Entry - 28th January 2009

Today is a sunny day. I do not have to attend school because our school principal gave us a full day off thanks to the hardwork by our seniors which achieved good results. So I thought that I can have a good sleep until around 9 am. But that was not the case...

This morning the alarm rang and I woke up. It was meant for me to wake my brother up because an alarm clock never works for him. I called to him and he said "okay..." and I went back to sleep. Then I woke up again at 6.40 am. What I thought at that moment was "How did I manage to fall asleep? My brother will never be so quiet he do not make any noise in the morning.." I looked at my brother's bed, and he is still laying there, sleeping peacefully. I was shocked and shouted out to him immediately as he is very late for school! He jumped out of the bed, stood there and turn his head around saying "huh huh huh? What?" And I told him it is 6.40 already. He stared at me for a moment, then quicky get his uniform from the cabinet. He was pushing the blame to me that saying that I did not wake him up as he walked out of the room and I was angry about that. I did wake him up, but he did not wake up! It is his problem!

He ran out, had a quick bath, ran back to the room, took his bag and dashed out the house while I lock up the door for him. What a day for him as the first day of school after the Lunar New Year's holiday.

3rd Entry - 18th January 2009

Today, I went to Cornerstone church with my friend Nicholas Tay. He invited me to go with him in school before the weekend. He told me that I will meet many people who I do not know. Also known as his cell group members. So I was afraid and rejected his offer. But on the other hand I thought maybe I can make some new friends there so I decided to tag along with him.

I went to meet Nicholas at his place before we go to the church together. It is located near the Katong Shopping Centre. I kind of missed that place since I once lived there. There are not many changes though. Just that the old building that I used to live in is gone and it seems that a new building will be constructed there for more people to live in. But the main thing is, I do not remember that there is any church near the Katong Shopping Centre!

Surprisingly, Nicholas brought me into a building that I never noticed for so long I was there and the church actually have the sessions in a auditorium! That is amazing! We sang songs and prayed. We listened to meaningful speeches given by some pastors of the church. After the first session I decided to follow up to the rest of the sessions when I can make it. I am sure I will be able to learn more about life around me.

2nd entry, 16th January - The Interview

Had an interview with people from MOE today. I was so so nervous in the morning during assembly. I brought my handbook along with me and memorised with my friends the school vision, mission and the 8 core values. But I still did not manage to memorise everything but the 8 core values in order, part of the vision and part of the mission.

So after having chemistry lesson for half around half an hour I went down to the canteen with my friends who are also nominated to go for the interview. We were all worried about whether we would be able to handle the interview well. We were still talking about the school values, mission and vision in the canteen! Mr Maran marked our attendance, and soon we proceeded to our respective rooms for the interview.

My group was supposed to have the interview in Professional Room 2. When we reached, madam was not there yet so we took a sit first. We whispered to each other until the people in charge from MOE came. We stood up to greet her and she greeted us too. Then we sat down and she started to ask questions.

Luckily, all the questions were not hard to answer. They were questions that does not have a fixed answer. So just spoke up what we think about the question. Everyone answered at least a question. There were some who answered more, of course, because they could speak better and know what to answer. Oh well, the interview was pleasant anyway.

1st Entry - The Very First Problem With The Online Work

We were given a homework that requires posting entries in a blog. Yes, I love blogging but I moved house recently, and there is no internet connection at home!

It's inconvenient for me because I cannot be going out to an Internet Cafe to do work so often. And it is expensive to do my work there. It costs around a dollar each hour. 5 days will be 5 dollars without including the bus fare! Luckily today I manage to create the blog and post an entry at my friend's house. But I would still have to post another 4 entries and I am thinking really hard to solve this problem.

I can afford to go to the internet cafe twice so that will be 2 entries. But I am still left with 2! I cannot get an idea how to solve it even after much brainstorming, cracking my brain trying to think of a solution. Every time I look at my list of assignments, the moment I saw "5 online entries on blog" I would start to have a "headache". Maybe I would have to ask for help from my fellow classmates, or maybe I should try to save money for another 2 trips to the Internet Cafe, or maybe......I will just think about this later.
