phew, just came back from school.
today is a really slack day! cos its our learning jouney day. we went to the NEWater plant (again!!!). I hav been there at least twice le... X( but nvm, at least it refreshed my memory about the cleansing process of water. we listened to the guide talk bout reverse osmosis, IPU, what ultrafiltration... blar. and... i got a free bottle of NEWater. yay. lol. the trip ended at around 11 and we returned to school. me, eric, huihao and leon then took the MRT home. Anyway, i think i would enjoy next year's journey more. cos in the information sheet, they say that sec 3s are going for a battlefield study tour, which sounds cool. hope it will be fun!

Today was fun! =D
Skipped class in the morning cos my class was slected to go and support our C'div badminton team! We took a bus to Jurong East sports complex after morning assembly. RI was playing against Boon Lay Sec in this finals. and we beat them 3-2! woohoo! good job, RIBT! Another gold into our cabinet. for this match, i cheered damn loudly, and i guess it paid off (compared to boon lay's cheering, we totally owned them). however, they did manage a good fight against our badminton team, allowing us to win only by a narrow scoreline. also, from this match, i realised how pro our school players were. especially j-s, who did some really nice smashes in a doubles match. there, i also saw tabitha and peijia (carrying a stack of dunno wat), who got fourth in the C'div girls. congrats!
after reaching school, we had a lunch break of an hour! =) followed by a boring physics lesson (argh! cant stand the physics teacher who doesnt teach well) and RE. For RE we progressed quite smoothly and we are reaching the surveying part quite soon. So, my friends, you hav work to do soon. thanks!

last saturday, i went to my aunt and uncle's house, to see them the last time before they go off to shanghai (for quite a long time). for dinner, we had seafood at east coast park. and the crab was tasty! we chatted a lot and really enjoyed ourselves. i got updated with my cousins too!
on the same day, it was xmss' homecoming. charmaine wanted me to go, and i said i would. but i thought it was the next saturday, on the 21st. so i didnt go. im so seriously such a super sotong. sry to those who expected me to turn up.
anyway, this week would be my NAPFA five items. and so, i hope i would do well (all As). lol. all the best to all my friends, who are also taking NAPFA.

Track n field
a few days ago, ri had our annual track n field meet finals. so we went to bishan stadium after school to watch it. and... buckley got 3rd! u might say," third?! only?!" but buckley has been getting fifth for track n field meets the past few years, so its good improvement. and i really hav to thank our new batch of sec 1s who r just so pro. no doubt as most of them r from track. but the other levels are doing good too. =) i feel that we should use this track n field points as our advantage over some houses, and keep working hard to beat them when the year ends. let this be a drive, that can charge us forward in the standings. "Say woah, it's hot in here, there must be some buckley in the amosphere!"
anyway, this year i didnt win any medals or anything, although i did participate in some events like long jump and 100m sprint. the track pple always won. =( but this is good for my bro. he got first in shotput and im happy for him. congrats!
i also got my new buckley T-shirt this year, themed 'the green lantern'. and i hope the lantern shall lead the way.
Computer under attack!
also, recently, my computer is under some virus attack. the processing speed became super slow. internet connection is affected too. so i couldnt go online. virus attacks again... they spoil my mood. =( im currently trying to wipe out the virus. i wanna be a virus-slayer... wish me good luck.
Banyan tree
during an assembly period, there was an official opening of a book titled 'under the banyan tree' in ri. it is a collection of memories, from rafflesians 1961-1964. me n jack bought one copy of the book. it was interesting with the many stories about them then. there were many hilarious ones too. a great book. =D
