Singaporean/Cedarian Wu Qin Yu Melissa just won a Bronze medal for her AYG Girls' Long Jump event!

Congrats! You did Singapore and Cedar Girls' Sec Sch proud! :DDD

I just realised that I have 2 things not yet mentioned here.
1) Guides Carnival!
2) AYG Briefing

I shall start with Guides Carnival! It was okay, I guess, quite fun. :) We went there so early! Had a mini patrol outing. :) Haha. By the time it was 9 plus, the HQ was already so crowded! At around 10 plus, it was so crowded and squeezy that there was some kind of human traffic jam! How irritating! Sometimes, in such situations, you really have to push people. I'm sorry, but you know, just a gentle push/nudge. Cos it's not moving! The hall was super crowded. Bleh. :(
Our stalls did good! For the first hour or so, it was mostly Cedarians that played. Haha, but later since there's more people, others also played too. It's a very simple game. Easy to win prizes too!
Ended the event by going Bishan Library with Carin and Celest. Oh man, I must really go to the library with Carin! She's like some expert in books! I bet she's read at least a hundred of book this year already ok? Haha. She recommended a lot of books for me to read, but given my reading ability, I borrowed only 2 books among her list of recommendations!

Okok, AYG Briefing was basically nothing much. So boring! I mean, we weren't briefed of what my group was supposed to do! But we took quite a few pictures! Hahaha.

I'll be having the duty tomorrow! OH I'M SO EXCITED! :DDD

Can you imagine how one month passes so fast?

No, I'm not talking about how fast the holiday is ending, but just a month ago, I was having a very nice dinner in 'da pai (sthg)' with Zhang Qi, her parents, Sisi and her cousin! AHHHHH! In CHINA!

CHINA<3

Yeah, I was telling Xin Yu two days ago what was happening a month ago at that moment. We were still in Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School listening to their so-chim-and-notunderstandable Physics class! :O
The self-intro! She made a fool of herself! Hahaha.

When ppl ask me, 'how was the China trip?', I don't exactly know what to say. I'll just say, fun/very fun/interesting? I mean, I myself know how much I enjoyed it. Hmm, maybe it's too complicated to put it in words?

Now back to the reality. Yep, I know that tmr school is reopening. After a week of intense decision about whether schools should remain closed cos of the H1N1 situation, it's finally decided that students should just go back to school. Yes, I agree with that! Hurhur, even though most ppl do not want to go back to school.

School's fun except for the work and exams! Hahaha.

I wish myself a very good start for the new term! :D

Oh yes, 2 more to go!

2 more!

I'm gonna start counting down to my birthday soon. Haha! :)

Ohh, refreshing my links list is sooo tiring!

Anyway I'm proud to say that I finished 2 homework this morning! Hahaha.
Now let's see, how many do I have left?
...
Hmm, should be little enough to finish before school starts! :)

Hoho, went out with Sabby yesterday. :) We went to 4 shopping malls in just one afternoon! Accomplished!
We encountered many funneh things along the way. Haha, the man in the MRT, the lift door in Taka, OOH! The soft toy in BHG! Hahahah.
I wanted to buy the t-shirt! But I think I have many already. =.=

I hate the H1N1! It's going to affect our lives sooner or later. 100+ cases already! :(

Hoho, I'm so glad that this laptop has taken 'good turn'!
Hah, what am I saying. It's just that it can upload photos much, much faster than what happened last time.
Phew. Finally done with the China photos!

Is there really a need to extend the holidays? I don't think I'm in for it. Haha, yes, who doesn't want to skip school? But I think this flu is going to worsen and it'll still be in the air for who-knows-how-long. So why not just let school carry on as per usual?

Anyway I think I really need to go back to school. Haha, didn't think that I'll be saying this, but yes, I miss school!
Even though I'll be busy most of the time, at least I can occupy myself with sthg. And see my classmates and friends again! :)

Guides Carnival up next!

Hmm I don't know why but I have an urge to post pictures!

China! <3

Fifth/Last Day

Whoops, so shaky!

Fourth Day

First Day

Oh gosh, the kids are so cute! I really had a fun time for the past 5 days at Radiance Student Care Centre with the kids, teachers and my friends! I think I'm gonna go back there during the Dec hols. :)

Hmm I'll probably miss Serangoon MRT station too! xD

Chaotic.

Hilarious.

Embarrassing.

Eye-opener.

Challenging.



It was so... unbelieveable!
The kids!
The teachers!
The station masters!

The students today were going to Bishan Library. And they went there through MRT?! MRT?! Can you imagine? Almost 40 primary school kids taking MRT, with only 3 teachers? Luckily the 7 of us were there to help out.
There was a girl that has a phobia of going through the tapping machine, cos she's afraid of the gutters (or sthg like those). So we spent some time cooling her down and telling her that it's ok and all that.
Then just nice, the train came. The Upper Pri boys just started dashing in to the carriages without the instructions of the teachers! It was chaotic! Then some people say 'come out, come out!' while students still remained inside. Then me and some of us just ran in, in case we were really split into 2 groups.
I rmb that one boy was running anxiously in and out of the train! HAHAHA. Oh gosh, that scene was hilarious!
Yeah, in the end it was okay. Everyone was safe. Even though some other things happened, shan't go into detail.
It was just a very, very interesting and good experience.
THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET!

OH yeah. So today was our last day with them. We bade goodbye at the bus interchange! Hahaha. I think the younger kids don't know that we won't be going back anymore. Hah, I think after a week, they will forget our existence. :(
But anyway, the 7 of us did have a lot of fun with them. :) And we will not forget them!

Which means... OUR HISTORY AND IPW PROJECT IS OVERRR! :DDD

I feel so bad.

nostalgia.

Uhhh! Such a strong urge!

CIP! I think Jeslyn's going ga-ga over the children at the Student Care now. Haha! Today we played more games with them. (: Thought them some cheers/songs. Only the P1s and 2s were interested. :( Heheh. Expected anyway.

Enjoyedu? Seems like more and more ppl are mentioning it... Left 10 more Compre to do!
Come on!

Oh yeah!
Another HIGH SCORE! :D

Gah, I kept getting wrongs when I shouldn't be!
Seemed to be more distracted?

And my phone can't connect to the computer! So irritating!

CIP today. At a childcare centre in Serangoon. Oh please, I was the navigator can? My superb navigation skills brought Wei Ting, Sabrina and I to the childcare centre first, before Jeslyn, Xin Yu, Sarah and Wei Lin, who apparently left the MRT 5-10 min earlier than us ok? HAHAHA. They sort of took a bus, that went to AMK?! Then they desperately took a taxi (cos it was late already)!
Oh, the kids there are noisy! It's quite chaotic, actually, and the teacher has to scream and shout at them all the time. Sigh. So sad. But there are a few kids who are SO CUTE! Yes, this is expected in a care centre. Haha. Of course the cuter ones are the P1s and 2s.

Filming was fun today. I was the one that had the least NGs! HAHAHA.
(Ok, why am I boasting so much here...?)



Everything will be over by the end of this week.

AHHH SHUCKS!

They ran out of Carebears!

:(:(:( Should've bought more yesterday.

Anyway thanks Nat! (:



I think I'm on a Carebear-high! (:

Playmax today. Well, I think the part that attracts me most is the Fleamax! xD Haha! Stagemax is interesting and nice too. (: I think there can be more interesting games. The Extrememax looks fun, but didn't get to try.
Good buys at the Fleamax! Fleamax!(: Yes, yes, the flea market is small and there were little stalls, but there were one or two good ones.
I bought a nicenice T-shirt and 2 Carebear keychains! HAHAHA.
I could've bought 1 more T-shirt ok! But I was short of cash! :x Haha, what a right timing...

Before that was NDP training. Didn't know why, but today seemed longer than usual. Haha, NDP trainings are always long, after all it's 3h. BUT WE SHALL PERSERVRE! :)
Jiayou squad! (:

Argh, Enjoyedu is irritating. Can we not do everything? IT'S NO GOOD FOR OUR EYES! :)

Today I watched Night At the Museum 2 with Sarah, Wei Ting, Wei Lin and my brother. Hoho, it was funny! Hilarious! (So funny till I forgot to eat my tidbits! xD) Hmm I thought it wasn't gonna be that funny yeah, but perhaps not.
Oooh, the CUPIDS are so funny! FUNNY! HAHAHA. Wei Ting and Sarah kept laughing at the cupid-song part. :)

Hmm then after that we went to my house for project. :(:(:( Haha, but it was fun. Oh yeah, things were a bit weird without Sabrina present... Wonder if she's going for NDP tmr.

Mum baked Tiramisu today! Yum! Lovely. Fabulous! Hahaha.

Ok, at least I finished a homework today... Going to do some more now. Toodles!

Thank you for your encouragement.

I feel better now. :)

Today has just been weird. We wanted to do BillyBanja. But apparently our mood was... destroyed? I dunno.

We had a very 'inspirational' talk/debrief today. What you said is true. We are too childish/immature? to handle things right. Sometimes I have this thought that whenever we're left in charge of something, an activity, it doesn't turn out all that right. We have so many loopholes. We just can't get hold it! We still need help, which isn't supposed to be like that. They have stepped down. We can't always depend on them. I think it's time we put in more effort. AND USE OUR BRAINS. Yes, use our brains. They're just little kids. Surely we know something that suits them. After all, we've been kids ourselves! We have brains for a reason. I can't stand this.

This is our second time. I really hope that we'll do much, much better next time. We need encouragement too, please. Now that we know our mistakes, we need people to cheer us on to do better. Not always about the negative...

P/S: Is not wearing black shoes counted?

I don't like projects. :(

I'm stuck between homework and projects.

I'm glad I went for NDP training today. :)

I love NDP! Footdrills is so cool. Even though the trainings will be tiring, it's fun, when you practise as a squad. I think we, especially the Sec 2s, are fast learners! It's only the 2nd session and we've covered all the commands that're being said on the actual day! So cool!

Yay, we're smart! And I can say that we (Sec 2s) improved on our footdrills A LOT. From the only 2 footdrill sessions that we had last year, till 6 months later... That's a huge improvement!

Good job guys! Continue to work hard together! Really hope that our NDP will turn out fantastic! :)



Oooh, projects are irritating! Taking up so much of my time! I'll be meeting up for 5 consecutive days just for projects. -_- Annoying!

I'M BACK!

I'm back from China! Finally. I miss Singapore!

Well, 9 days seem short yet long. I guess it was just right.

The trip was really fun. I like my buddy! She's so nice.

Of course I won't write everything out in detail. Too long!

Shijiazhuang was okay. The immersion was fun. Stayed at my buddy's house. Fortunately, me and Xin Yu shared the same buddy so we were always together throughout the whole trip! Hahaha.
Their traffic is very bad. Chaotic! Plus there are many, many bicycles everywhere. The school was very huge, as usual, but if you divide it proportionately, it's about the same as Cedar. After all, their school is a combination of Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary! That's why it's big.

Beijing! I love Beijing! You know up till now, I still can't believe that I've been to Beijing! Beijing is so nice! I toured most of the places of interest there. Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Great Wall of China, Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, Wang Fu Jing Street. I've always dreamed of visiting all these famous landmarks and I've finally been there! Heheh!

I snapped many, many photos! I wanted to buy a few things in China. Some are being fufilled, while some aren't. I tell you, that WFJ Street is such a disappointment! Oh btw, it's a shopping place. I expected it to be a shopping street with stalls that can be bargained. But it turned out to be sthg like Orchard Road, only Orchard Road is better. :) The shops are so high end! I can't stand it! It's either there's nothing to see, or the stuff are too expensive. :( So in the end I didn't buy a lot of things home. Only lots of panda souvenirs! :D The pandas are so cute! (:



Now that I'm back in Singapore, I have other things to get on with. Homework? Projects? NDP? Ahh sheesh mans. I really wonder how everything went when we were away. I guess I really missed out on a lot of things. But it's ok. Cos THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE! :D

To all - Thank you for wishing that I was back in Singapore! I enjoyed myself there and of course I still miss home! :)
