the last post i posted was my 50th post! yay! (lol, actually there's nothing to be proud of.)
ok, i have not posted for bout 2 weeks le... so sry.
i shall post bout this student from new york who had came to my school for the immersion (isit spelt like this?) programme. he was with us for i think... 3 weeks. my form teacher chose and told me to be like... his buddy. (just like last time when we were p5)
at first i tot he was a very smart, thoughtful and kind person. but, as time passed, i noticed that he started breaking school rules, not paying attention in class, not finishing hw, sometimes even hurting smaller sized classmates. and cheating in tests. as i was his buddy, i had to sit beside him. and let him copy my answers in tests? get lost 'buddy'!
cause that was what happened. he copied my answers in two of the numerous tests. although i tried to cover my answers, u know what? he copied my answers AFTER the test. ("put ur pens down" shouted the teacher. and he straightened his back peeked at my answers.then, he secretly scribbled what he saw onto his testpaper.)
i was furious and wanted to report it to my form teacher. but... i dunno y i didnt.
during lessons, while everyone was listeing attentively, he 'stole' other pple's erasers and ripped them to small bits. then he threw them at other students. lamo.
the time we've all been waiting for, came. HIS LAST DAY. by that time, the whole class hated him. and i really mean the WHOLE class. he spoke his 'last words' and we 'applaused' and 'cheered'. we wished him all the 'best' and he stepped out of the classroom. one of my classmates said," wait for the door to close." and it did. "YAY! we all screamed, while jumping for joy. it was a scene worth watching. then the teacher asked if we really hated him so much, lol. we replied that we did.
why was he here in the first place? i bet there are millions of pple better than him who wanna come to RI too.
i guess he's just an act-smart, uncaring, sickening and obnoxious person. >:(

today is national day's eve (and my class gathering day). and i shall tell u bout what had happened today.
yay. half day! (which = shuang) actually, today, school wasnt very fun... not like when i was in rosyth, always can watch concert and other more interesting and fun stuff... at 9.25am, we had to assemble at the astroturf for national anthem blar blar...then we went to the porch (isit?) for the opening ceremony of the exhibition of S. Rajaratnam and had to listen to pple giving speeches or smthg. and i didnt like that part cause it was a little lengthy and i tot it was quite boring. after that, we went to me (jim/gym), followed by the junior block for videos/talks bout Singapore. then, we got dismissed from school.
actually, i had to go to my project meeting, and had to go for class gathering late, but my group members wanted to visit their primary, schools, some r tired.... blar... so i decided to postpone the meeting to tmr. im such a thoughtful leader! (lol, jkjk) after i discussed with them, my group members grabbed their bags and ran away. then i remembered smthg bout my project... our poster materials!!!! i took and ran after my group members... caught up with them. lol. i asked some of them to take the materials home but they didnt want and ran away in all directions...
-_- hai...
so i had to carry my poster materials to the class gathering which... isnt someone going to a class gathering would do. lol.
all the RI pple met and we went to j8 together. then, we met darren and joash, followed by the girls. we ate (at diff places) and met again. but we did not watch the movie cause the tickets were sold out le.
this comes the part which im unhappy about. =(
most of the girls wanted to go shopping or smthg so they went without discussing with us. so there were only the boys and 4 girls left. while we were walking to bishan park for some ball games... rachel, wann qin and cassandra wanted to go skating... so they also left without discussing with us. therefore, only tabitha and us (the boys) reached the park. some boys decided to play soccer so i reluctantly played with them. (in case u dunno, i dun really like soccer, and wx, kk and ta didnt play) after that, we decided to play captains ball. but we were all tired, so we went to buy some drinks at the far east (the kiosk with toilets, a snack shop and a skate and bike rental store i think)
if im not wrong, tabitha asked peijia and another person (whom i suspect is related to darren) to go there and they arrived at this point of time.
after our trip, we rested for a while and wanted to start playing, but there were too little players, so we waited for the three girls to go back. tabitha told us that they were on their way back, so we waited.
and i think the two friends of tabitha had already gone.
after we waited for an amount of time (which i forgot how long), they arrived and we divided ourselves into two groups and started playing. it was quite a nice game except for the fact that we didnt hav a proper court for us to play in. then we all went home. lol.
ys, i think u can do a better job than this! although this wasnt too bad.
p.s. i was unhappy because we are a class and we should "stick together" and at most, discuss b4 some pple wanna do smthg so we can plan accordingly. if not what is our CLASS GATHERING for?

i went for cross country on wed and... it was tiring, but fun!!! we went to macritchie reservior (or smthg liddat) after school and ran 3.2 km. actually, the X-country wasnt exactly for exercise, it was also for our houses. the scoring of points are of follows: <20>25 mins - 1 point, 1st - 25 points, 2nd - 24 points, 3rd - 23 points... 20th - 25th - 5 points.
i ran and got about 40th. and jack got bout 30th. so, we both earned 3 points for our houses.
one of jack's classmate who was an excellent runner, got 7th, but he got disqualified because he didnt wear his house t-shirt... i feel so sad for him lors... =(
in the end, my house got 2nd for the sec 1 and sec 3 races. but got last for sec 2 and 4 races and got overall, last. =p (wat were the sec 2s and 4s doing? ...)
anyway, i hope to improve on next year's X-country.
