Note: I only hav time to update on weekends. So, im sry. I went for prefects investiture yesterday. Yes, u r right. i hav been appointed prefect in RI. Dunno if it is good or bad... Just kidding... u think it's so easy to become a prefect? No way! ok, I just went to watch the prefects investiture. however, im quite lucky to hav a chance to go... most pple cant go because of third language, cca or lack of places because of the renovation. The theme this year is "Plunge In!" I think it means to take a plunge into the deep sea and, face the challenges and difficulties. That's wat prefects do, they dare to do smthg more then wat normal students do (maybe). There were prefects from other Sec schools and JCs there too (mostly heads and vice-heads). Although the speech part was a little boring (i nearly fell asleep as i slept late last night and it was held quite late after lessons), the second half of the prefects investiture was enjoyable... they sang a song about prefects to the tune of "under the sea" in the little mermaid (the song changes every year). Wow, i hav to admit that it was good. then, we sang our school song and school cheers. As we shouted the cheer right after our institution anthem, i saw funny looks (i will try to show u how they look like later). I think we did more than that but i forgotten. maybe its because i hav so many ting xie words to remember. lol. basically, it was fun. So sry for those who missed the investiture. anyway, hope u can attend it next year.

lots of girls from rosyth r saying that npcc is easy-peasy and their cca is tougher. i shall elaborate more on npcc then. for npcc, we do lots of things. but i think drills and PT are the most tiring. sometimes, we do drills for bout an hour+. (imagine standing there, listening to commands and turning and marching for that long) we must also do drills correctly, if not we hav to keep doing till we get it right. (when we stood there for bout an hour+, it was not because we did it wrongly) during PT, we run around the school every level up and down and up and down, and for every level, we hav to run around the level, then, we proceed to the track and run around the track at least thrice. (for now, as they will increase the no. of rounds next time) next, we do inclined pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups. then we rest for about five minutes, then we do sprints and jumping jacks. lastly, we hav to run around the track twice then assemble at the side of the track. although we dont do this for every training, we do drills just as long. some of our seniors r very good to us, so its still ok lar. but it will gradually become tougher, so i hav to train hard. if u still think ur cca is tougher, its alright with me. and i hope u will become tougher than what ur cca has for u, so that u wont think cca is tough anymore. lol (temporarily addicted to the word 'tough', so sry)

sry for not updating for the past two weeks... but im very busy and i hav no time to use the comp. i will tell u more about wat i do in my cca. In npcc, we have to do PT, drills, cheers and much more. Its quite tiring... yesterday, i took a late lunch and ate quite a lot with my friends and PSLs at j8. so i couldnt do too much running. i told my senior in npcc (hes quite nice), and he let me off, so i stood at the side of the track with one of my bro's classmate and another guy whom i dun know. we stood there watching pple run and we felt bored, so we decided to ask our seniors if we can do 'twinkies' (an exercise used to train arm muscles). and he allowed us to do it!!! yay! but wat we didnt expect was... they ran for about an hour and had some time for resting. we... did 'twinkies' for that long too. (of course, when the seniors are not looking and we were tired, we put our arms down to rest...for a while... and had to continue again) my bro's classmate said to me after the exercise," Wa... i can feel the muscles already... u want to do 'twinkies' with me when we hav time? then next time we hav bulging muscles and can do push-ups as easy as walking." lol actually, thinking back, i felt quite good after doing 'twinkies'... lol (if u dun know wats a twinky, u can ask me when u see me on messenger, because its difficult to explain) my bro's classmate also watches bleach! (an anime) lol. last time when we were playing soccer during npcc (btw, we played for only 15 mins then had to go back and do drills...) , we were in the same team and we called our team "the shinigami" team. and for the other team, we called them "the hollow" team. lol, then when the match start, he shouted," charge! my shinigamis!!!" we were appointed defenders. during the match, when i was defending, he was waving his imaginary soul slayer around, slicing hollows (air). then, this guy from the other team scored when he wasnt looking... lol but we didnt blame him of course. anyway, in the end, we won. lol. In conclusion, npcc is tough and strict. (not end of conclusion as i hav not been in npcc long enough to giv a detailed and correct conclusion)

ok, i shall tell u more about my school life... my class is very 'lively' cause pple always scream, shout and run around... lol. i also made lots of new friends too. academically, im doing quite ok lar... although i failed my first ting xie cause i forgot to learn the words... i shant tell u my marks cause u will definately laugh at me.(those who know my marks, pls do not tell anyone) i like all my teachers except for chinese and english teachers. lol maybe its because my languages arent good. lol. i am currently having swimming as my P.E. category and im not exactly enjoying it. haha. and my cca is NPCC if u dont know... (not very happy) im in buckley house and i went for my house day today. buckley's house colour is green and our theme this year is 'the green reapers' (from grim reapers) and our slogan is "Your time is up!"(for other houses) lol. we played some games today. game 1:we stepped on other pple's balloon tied to their shoes, the eam with the highest no. of balloons left wins. game 2:played waterbombs! yay! i didnt get wet! game 3: hav to run across the astro-turve(isit spelt like this?) , a type of special ground, without getting caught by a senior. there was not enough time, so i didnt get to play... they gave us (pple from buckley) a can of 7-up and a packet of twisties(chicken flavour) for free! (its because we r bucklians and also because the food packet and drink can is green) lol. but i stayed in school till 6.30pm for NPCC today... so tiring...but still blogging, lol. although i just saw all of my friends at rosyth, but i dunno y i still miss all of u... lol. i hope all of u r having a good time at ur sec schools!
