Starwalk 2010. Not just a walk.

Starwalk. It was like the event of the year with people from all walks of life rushing into the stadium, with me in between the entrance. Gosh, my mind went like 'highpressure, low speed', explaining the slow moving of crowds and delay of the walk in the morning. I registered and took the blue wristband quickly in search of my friends. Well, I found some and decided to walk with others in the end. Lol. Just enjoying the morning walk. I liked to move between people and advancing further ahead. Well, without running, I like Starwalk. However, not everyone was walking. In fact, most of them were half-running and half-walking while some ran all the way. Gosh, some even took shortcuts. Cowards. You thought you were fast. I can see 'that'. 


I kept walking the long way which promised more sceneries and sight-seeing. I walked and looked ahead. I kept thinking that I will reach soon. Lol. My legs were aching somehow. I walked through somehow. Yet I finished the walk without running and got a certificate somehow. Haa. An uncle even told those who ran were just too eager for certs or winning. He said, 'The walk is only a race against time, not human.' How inspiring! I passed him and continued my journey. Honestly, I thought it was a 5km walk. But when I'm finished, my friend told me it was a 10km walk. My reaction was like, 'really?'. xD


Then, I went for drinks in the 100Plus and Spritzer Booths and food as breakfast. I chatted for awhile and wandered around for a bit before I walked to the side for the variety show. There were singing performance, magic show, dance show and more. The lucky draw was long and in vain as I didn't get any lucky numbers. Geez. I sat there and enjoyed the show for the day. Haa. I heard some of my friends won some medals. Nice. Good job. This year's Starwalk was one of my favourite times as I enjoyed the times and experience. Sweat is nothing.

SIMC Part 2.0 - 3.0

Day 2 - Day 3

These two days were the On-site challenge preparation period. The release of the On-site challenge was made in the morning. Then, we had this yellow envelope with CD, papers, maps.etc. The organizer explained some general rules and deadlines. Haa. Later, we were led to our classroom by our SLOs. Damn, the classroom had six fans compared to two, with less pupils. Geez. So fun. So nice. So fully equipped. We started our challenge. Well, I read the questions first then pondered awhile. My first thought was 'what. now what?'. But then we wasted much time. We started late and rushed a bit to get it done by Day 4 noon for the report. The presentation was done in minutes. Haa. It was okay but not so good as we didn't have that much info. We had chats, walk, music, fun, anything on these two days. We were too bored. Why two days period? I wonder. Facebook was one of the pastime. I even strolled around to enjoy some sight-seeing in NUS. Nice school to study in. Wish this was my school. 

Guys, there's still more days. Figures.

SIMC Part 1.1

Still Day 2. In fact, after the opening ceremony, we had our poster presentation to the VIPs. Okay. But then was the cultural immersion trip. Nice one. First, I think I was assigned to a group to mix around. Ice-breaking. Playin those games again, calling names or like childhood games which I barely remember. Haa. I was like blurred all the way till the end. Still thinkin who the heck thought of those games. LOL. 

Well, time flies again, time for the trip. Yea, at last I was on the bus. Dr.Mark gave us each one 'card' and 10 dollars to spend on. Okay. We went to Chinatown. We roamed around temple there, to mosque, indian temple, ate egg tarts, city hall exhibition and Bugis Street. Well, mostly was shopping which I was not that into. Haa. Anyway, we proceeded to Marina Square, Marina Bay, Esplanade, Helix Bridge later. That part was the best. I like sceneries better than shopping. Haa. Oh yeah!

Later that night, I was sleeping sweetly. So nice.

SIMC Part 1

Time flies. And I was back from the SIMC 2010 held in NUS High, Singapore.
Well, where to start? Honestly, I've no idea. Just the raw memory went around my head unprocessed all over again. They just don't wanna to be processed and get deleted forever. NO DELETE, just SAVED it. But how to index it? 


Okie. Day One - was the freaking bus trip from Ipoh to Singapore. It took like more than 10 hours to reach there when it was supposed to be only about 8 hours drive. Too many pit-stops. Gosh. The SLOs had to wait for us like 3 hours. So tiring for them. Blame the bus, change the engine, will ya? 


LOL. I remembered my first dinner there was a set of BigMac. Nice as ever a BigMac can be. Chit-chats. Janice Soo and Shao Hao were the first two SLOs I met. Later, I got into my hostel room in PGP. Transpunder. That's something new. Maybe I should've play with it more. But the fine was like... 


p/s: I didn't know there was a third SLOs until...


Day Two - Let me think. I woke up like early. Then, gathered and boarded a bus to NUS High. Breakfast time. Then, the food was okay. No comments. Just the coffee was like, different. We waited, as Janice said there was like a person called Asmidah coming. SLO. At first, I was thinking... Foreigner, Indian? Well, I still not so sure now. Haa. Feel free to tell me. xD. 


Then, I think it was the briefing time. I went into the Theaterette and sat for some while. Listened to the man, observe. Later, the opening ceremony was a blast. The auditorium, to me, was huge and cool. Found my seat and waited for the guest of honor. 


Note: This was the time when those two naughty girls borrowed my booklet and somehow made some form of ART in it. Thanks. 


Did I ever tell you we set up posters earlier? and we were chosen to present our unique hand-drawn posters to the guest of honor? Wonders. Just imagine that. The opening ceremony included speeches as usual, and something special like the passing of 12 cubes down the auditorium. Nice and well-planned. Credits.

Teacher's Day

It was a long pause again since last time. Feelin' the teacher's day celebration? Well, it was not that much of a celebration. When the vid was played, I laughed like hell taking in those moments captured naturally, and there was me wishing the teachers in the vid too. Haa, but I had fun too, with Henry's sleek cool DSLR. Snap Snap*...

I hate to put this into my post. But I feel like to - 'exam'. Oh man, it's near and I am still that easygoing and relaxed. Looking at the others all tensed up, some even took study leaves just to finish revision or revise more. I shouldn't be surprised since this happened last year with more significant number of absentees. I wonder when will last year record can be broken. Haa. If this keeps up, I think the record is gotta be changed by Trial. Figures.

Lower Six is here. Well, that adds to a whole new row of classes, meaning neighbours finally! Haa. It had been quiet for the past months with only a class in the 3rd floor. Haa. Well, the Form 3 classes were far away. We were typically isolated. But nice and joyful too. 

Heyhey, anyone in lower six is interested to be a librarian? Come on, it's fun. Haa.

2 in 1

I had one of the funniest day in this year. The 2 in 1 calligraphy competition and Chinese culture gathering took place in my school. I was dropped by the school early for the competition, for some coco marks. Haa. Didn't know it was 2 in 1 until then. 


Indeed, I had one thing for sure - there were a lot of people from many schools came by. And I don't know any of them. Yikes. Haa. I stood there waiting for my fellow friends who were too punctual. I registered and wandered around a bit with boredom began to envelope me. Then, I entered the hall - one thing was good, the air-conditioner was ON at last. Speeches were in the agenda again. Well, listen people...


About time when I left the hall to the class. I simply finished my piece of work with little effort as I weren't that skillful. As I said, ok? haa. Fun indeed. Laughters even my principal said our works were beyond 'mark'. Haa. 


Bang bang, I entered back into the hall again. The cool air embraced me again. How kind. I sat and watched the show went on. With Chinese orchestra performance from schools including our school, wushu, Taichi performance, the show was a hit. Although there was a number of technical errors, I still give them a 9 out of 10. Good work. Keep it up! Eh, can teach me some of those great skills sometime? HAAHAA!!!
