Alright, lame title, since I don't know what title I can think of.
I haven't updated for days already, since I was being a little emo over the past few days (more specifically, I was _very_ dissatisfied with my Chinese test results). Anyway, things have gotten MUCH better right after that but still, I'm still upset. I'm not able to get an MSG of lower than 2.0. It is really a blow to my wish of getting an OSA or ARE (dream on!)
The first good thing to hit me after that dreaded Chinese test was Chemistry, at which I got A1 (23/30). The second thing that brought further satisfaction was an English assignment (essay), at which I got A2 (22/30), which was relatively high. And in the afternoon there's Malay essay test, which I believed I've done very well.
Wednesday was a boring day ): But I was excited about 2 upcoming Boarders' Council events. When I cam back from school to have dinner, I attempted to put up the PowerPoint presentation slides in the dining hall to publicize the National Day Dinner event, but I wasted like 1 hour just because the VGA cable was faulty. During that night I helped in putting up the decorations and the table arrangements.
Thursday was much more interesting. There was Chinese common test in the afternoon, which I did quite okay (although my Q5 70-marks essay was a little short at 3.25 pages). For those who are interested, I did Q1 and Q5, which was typical of many (obviously because both were quite easy as compared to the others; Q4 was an exception because a similar topic was done before in class). I can't really recall what were the topics.
After Chinese test ended (at around 4:20 PM) I had to rush back to the boarding school to prepare for the National Day Dinner event, one of the larger events organized by the Boarders' Council. The PA crew, whom I was partly in-charge of, had problems setting up as early as 4:30 PM so I had to rush there to help. Ironically, the decorations were quite gorgeous as compared to our Investiture Dinner. As of now I only have 4 photos to post, but I'll post those later.
The most demoralizing thing about the whole event is the fact that 80% of the people have left near the close of the event. ): Probably because the theme is about "Celebrating the Singapore Spirit", and as almost all the boarders are not Singaporeans, the National Day Celebration/Parade probably isn't of any interest at all. Gahh. But then again, the PA crew were actually praised for their flawlessness :D :D Something that I have to be proud of. And I congratulate the PA/AVA Director Jin Da for bringing the team through. ): ): AND I STARVED on ONLY SATAY STICKS D:
The High School section's National Day event wasn't really good in my opinion, as the whole Sec 4 batch dao-ed the event and even left LT4 long before the whole "concert ended". Probably it's because of the distance from the stage that keep us from being entertained. I mean, most of us (including me) were doing things like listening to MP3, playing PSPs, Tower Bloxx in handphone and even poker cards.
The most interesting thing of the celebration was the fact that Zhang Quan was voted to be Ortus' NE Quiz representative. (obviously he was sabotaged). And hey, not bad! :D HE GOT THE 3RD RUNNER UP :D Which was actually the last position. The iSpark consortium dominated the whole thing (probably not because they have higher IQs, but rather other consortiums were more DAO).
During the night I went to You Jun's house to fix his computer (: Apparently it was close to worst-case scenario, but I managed to rescue it to its usable stage :D Anyway, regarding the state of his computer, even Internet Explorer, Windows Live Messenger was broken. And tools like the Device Manager, and Disk Management were broken too. But I managed to restore these :D And You Jun's parents were kind to serve me some food and drinks and send me back to the boarding school before curfew time.
At 11:10 PM, I joined a group of high extremely high PRCs in witnessing the start of the Olympic games in Beijing. And well, I zi-highed as well :D But the event was REALLY REALLY impressive and they use laser projection technology as well as VERY synchronized performances that would leave everyone jaw-dropping. Of course, as China is a major producer of fireworks, their fireworks display was extremely unique. Furthermore, the opening ceremony at the dining hall ROCKED because we were watching it via StarHub's HD channel, and the image was extremely sharp and clear.
Anyway, for the Boarders' Council, we have already started planning on what to do for the Year-End Dinner. (: (: As I posted this, PRIS TAN just returned from her NDP performance and she said it was GREAT! Haha congrats (:
And to my "you know who you are", LYL (:
