English Oral Examination for FYE took place, for classes 331-334. I was not that nervous, but I really had no preparation or expectation for that exam. Anyway, a few tips; sit next to the closed window where they are having their exam, and try and hear the question. Stand behind the door, out of view, and look at the practice paper, which is a few metres away from the actual examination table, and get the person sitting there to raise it up for you to read it, esp if there’s a picture… Haha =P
I think Bro Jason like me, and I did much better than I expected to… If I peeked at my marks correctly, I think I got 11/12 and 15/16 for Reading and Conversation respectively… However, due to my stupid retainers, I had problems with consonant sounds, cuz I was too used to talking with a piece of plastic instead of a fleshy palate… But it went well, and that’s all that matters…
Tuesday
Shotput competition; I threw one shot, and it started raining when the second round was about to begin… How dumb is that?!?!
Anyway, after that, I went for Legion of Mary, and it was quite hectic watching all the boys playing soccer… Haha =P So many guys chasing for a ball! How sad…
Wednesday
According to our English teacher, its pronounced as WENS-day, and not WED-NES-DAY… But TDP Chem was pretty fun, we did allotropes of Sulphur, and nearly choked to death on Sulphur Dioxide fumes… We made a plasticky substance that wasn’t an allotrope, but was actually a transient form of Sulphur as it cooled quickly from a liquid state. However, we did manage to make a monocilic allotrope of Sulphur, by cooling it slowly on a piece of filter paper, forming crystals. That was quite cool, I got to show off my Sulphur allotropes, but quite a lot of ppl said it looked like dog poo…
Thursday
Discus competition; not too bad, but not that great either… It started raining thunder and lightning just as I was going to take my third throw… Mr Low was the presiding teacher, but coach was the one really running the show, providing the rules and keeping the regulations… Edgar, Ric and Bryane were there (quite surprisingly), and so was Calvin Fong, but Ric qualified (even more surprisingly), and so did Calvin Fong… Haha =P
Anyway, I got 5th place, after Chien Ming, Naz, Belmond, and Edmund… Made a fool out of myself, especially since I can’t throw discus… Haha =P
Andre Ow was a student judge, along with some other guy named Chedwin (is that how you spell it?), they were quite good, they knew how to do things (like mark the landing spot, and dodge when the discus was flying straight at them)…
We also had promotional parade, but since I had sports heats, I didn’t attend… So I’m still a LCP, without a NCC badge… How sad =) (HAHA)… From what I heard, they kena tekan like siao… Thank God I didn’t go!
Friday
Founders’ Day went really well, mass was run by MM, quite smoothly, and the altar was decorated very well by the teachers as well… The ceremony after assembly was quite fun, Me and J Kor playing with bits of paper, and getting caught by Ser Han… Haha… Stupid Adrian! Anyway, I waited in the cenacle for Legion outing after that (how dumb… might as well have gone back to SMS)… I made friends with Bradley, and something weird happend to Julian that I’m sure he’ll never forgive me for… HAHA =P
We headed to Mr Ang’s house, eating at J8 along the way, so I made friends with Jonathan, another Sec 1, the one with the green strap dangling his wallet around his neck… Ain’t I just popular?
Now, I’m waiting for dinner, going for penetential service later… Everyone has something on, why are there so many things going on?!?!!
Anyway, sorry for the delayed update… No time to send testi or add ppl’s blogs anymore… Promise I’ll do it soon, k? (Maybe in e hols…)
Can’t wait for Church Visiting,
GAB.
PS What’s wrong with Gabby? (Other than it being female…)
