Our last day as IMBA! GO IMBA!
Lol... I spotted this at Terry's hostel room bedsheet. Lol... Why is Hua Lin's name found on the bedsheet? Tremendous discover. =P
Our IMBA car lol. Nice but unfirm lol. Say cheese!It was a long long camp! Long, but fun. Not only does the camp teach us about developing leadership skills, it also creates fun to the participants. The games involve strategy, creativity, patience, team work and other qualities we should possess. Day 1: We had some ice breakers and introduction of our group. Leadership profiling concerns about my personality, which is ENTJ. (Extrovert, iNtuition, Thinking, Judging--->Scholars type lol) Then the exciting and frightening murder mayhem... We had to find clues for the murder and discover who's the murderer at the victim's birthday party. We had to play 5 games and complete it in order to get the code to unlock the clue box. After we had finished our 3rd game, my group was having difficulties with the LOCK and not the code lol. I was so bored in waiting for them and i went to play with the other box. I try to break the code with no help and guess what, i managed to unlock it in 1 min! LOL! Oh ya... The mattresses in the hostel was quite filled with bugs without any bedsheets cover. Luckily, i brought my own. =) However, their shower was tremendously clean. Considered to my previous schools, this shower room was the cleanest room i ever seen in my whole life lol.Day 2: Then it was Vroom Factor! The building of the cars,strategic, timing and selling bla bla bla, and the Blood Island Campaign, the interesting and fun board game and the Candle War! The Candle War was the best game of the day but it was stopped in the middle of the game due to some unpleasant experience during the game.Day 3: We have yet to rehearse our "Bash Night" performance and we went to play our station games. Well, although we didnt well enough, at least we persisted and our best was the CHICKEN's captain ball LOL! poor chicken... All the lungs flew out... After playing the station games, there's a gathering for debrief and Marc took a dozen eggs out for 2 groups' forfeit. He smashed the eggs on each of the group member's head including the facilitators of the group lol. Well, there's retribution. XD Marc was demanded by the students and even the teachers to smash the egg on the forehead with Dhilshad. Poor Dhilshad lol. Then it's the "Bash Night". Compared to the past few days, the food was heaven and the drinks were like holy water to us. Funny performance are performed on the stage by all the groups, including the Facis. It was truly truly hilarious. "WHY YOU SO LIKE THAT? WHY YOU SO LIKE THAT?"Day4: The last day. The day when all of us are reluctant to go back home. The camp was truly fun and the day began with lectures and lessons on developing leadership skills and strategies. Then, there's the forum theatre. Regarding the problems shown by the drama acted by the Facis, i wrote 2 pages of solutions but i dared not go up and stop them cos my acting skills totally suck lol. Then the last event of the day, the ribbon ceremony. It was when everyone of us starts to get emo. It's like SC's and CT council's investiture, when most of the people cried when the Facis handed the ribbons "Who i am makes a difference" over. We had 2 ribbons. 1 for us to keep, the other to pass it on to the other person who i feels makes a difference to me. And i gave it to Marc, my facilitator and also my senior. Well, he's a great leader you know. I had learnt lots from him during the camp and the group debriefs. His advice and information brought us far beyond our limits and reminding us of what we must pay attention on during the games. He's the only one in my life who influenced me in wanting to become a good leader. His speech, his encouragement and his leadership skills can be said to surpass many great leaders in the world. Once again, i would like to thank Marc Oliver Van Hyzhen for all you have done for us.IMBA was my group. Group 9, Alphabet I. I love my group alot. Well, we had team cooperation and usually sharing our ideas between the group. IMBA was enthusiastic in things and includes many people who dare to take the initiative and step up to lead the group during the games. Although we might not perform well during the games, our teamwork and team bonds can be said to be number 1! WE R IMBA WE R HOT AND WE CANT BE STOPPED!Today is the day when Pakin returns back to Thailand. 6 of us (S52) could not make it due to CLIC camp. Thus, we called him during lunch and we took turns in talking to him and wish him good bye. Good bye Pakin! You must remember S52s and you are welcomed to come back and visit us again. PS: I will miss you all, Pakin and IMBAs, and also all the other CLIC groups A-K!
YEAH! Today is Full Day! After so long of shouting and cheering, CPM finally gave us our 1st full day! Yao Yang, Zhong Yang, Kuok Ming, Jian Nan, Hua Lin and I went to Marina Square after dismissal to had our breakfast at Long John. Then after our meals, we were like waiting for Jian Nan and Yao Yang to finish their bead chick key chain lol. Yao Yang starts to become like Jian Nan le lol. Stare at his own chick and laugh for no reason. =X Then Zhong Yang cant stand them and left the place... Lol joking la... He needs to go pa tuo first... Haha... Then, before we went to KBOX, we saw Jing ren and Soon Yang lol. So qiao... Sang many songs (not me... I dunno how to sing... I only sing 7 songs the most lol)... Then, we shop shop around after singing. Oh ya, before that, Yao Yang was very bian tai when he sang a bian tai song. All of us evacuated from the room sia lol. Then, we went window-shopping. Hua Lin, Kuok Ming and Yao Yang helped me build up my fashion sense lol and i managed to figure out 1 nice set but the thing is, it's too ex LOL!After Hua Lin went to meet her mum, the 3 of us went to play pool! Woohoo! Pool rox sia. I truly love pool. Managed to master a bit of angle shot at my 3rd lifetime game. But still, i am still a noob. Haiz.... PS: Can we haf another full day, or perhaps, full week? PS of PS: Looking forward to camps, overseas trip, and holidays training! NOT LOOKING FORWARD to 3rd and 4th week of holidays... Need to study! ARGGHHH!!
Before going JTS yesterday, we, almost half of the wushu team went to support VJC Soccer Guys. I go and support Pakin and Gaby ok? They super imbal players... Sad that Pakin has to go back Thailand after this match. Haiz... We, the whole S52 will miss u, Pakin!
In the whole class, only Zhang Liang and me went to support Pak and Gaby lol.. The rest went to support Ber in her hockey, that's why they can get championship for hockey girls! Well DONE! I heard from my classmates that she's super imbal too lol. Dribbled past a lot of players sia.
Ok back to the soccer match. SAJC got so many supporters than us lol. TYH also dun wanna let us noe or support soccer guys leh. Give the wrong venue so as to prevent us from going. Wth man... Then during the match, TYH went to kick the soccer ball when it is out of bounds and he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. All of us laugh man lol... Moreover, i can see tht TYH had been very worried and keep squeezing his head when we wasted opportunities to score another goal!
Final Score: 2-1 for soccer guys, 1-0 for hockey girls. I am so proud of them when they won the matches! Woohoo! Thanks for your contribution for the full day today lol!
Then we were like stay back to watch the final match MJC vs RJC during soccer. 1-0. Although they were quite strong, the match was very violent. Fouls here fouls there. Omg...
Then we settled for PastaMania later with Fangyu, Julia, Huan Yuet, Hong Wei, Jie Ru, Hui Ying, and You Zhe. 
These are the presents we, the year 1 guys, give to our seniors. In fact, it's mostly Jing ren's, my class and my efforts lol to make the beautiful cups... Very nice right? Shiny Shiny VJC Wushu haha...
Actually there's 1 mre extra customized cup. That's for Sophie lol. Ok la. Since she taught me so many many things regarding, knowledge, academy and physical fitness, i decided to present my token of appreciation lol. That's my 1st attempt! Sorry Sophie! Haha... Then later on, i started to become more pro lol! i made 3 cups myself. The remaining 4 cups are made by my helpful classmates, Yao Yang, Jason, Jia Yi, Crystal, and Elizabeth! THANK YOU! Haha...
JTS... Haiz... As coach had said, the girls are much more clicked than the guys. Guys like See Ann and Soon Yang always dun wanna socialise with the rest of the Wushu Guys. They only tend to talk among themselves, neglecting people like You Zhe sia. Despite me giving them an unobvious warning, they still chat among themselves. Haiz... Need to come out with a solution.
Never mind, at least i get to seek some advices from Hong Wei, Sophie and You zhe lol. We were playing IQ riddle too. Haha..
Then we were looking for team shoe and team bag after JTS... Too ex. Too little variety. Haiz... Haf to find for more choices...
Oh ya... Wushu Team... The voting for the collar pin closes now and i shall use the majority choice which will be reviewed on 30th may. Thanks for all your votes. Those who still wanna vote, please please vote before 29th may by smsing me... No further requests are entertained after 29th may 6pm... Thanks!
PS: GRATZ GABY FOR BEING THE VJC SOCCER GUYS CAPTAIN! XD Yeah! Our class got 15 EXCOs! Haha... super super super imbal ownage!
(YONG CHAO! DON"T BLOCK ME!)Swissotel was our crazy place just now. Chen Lao Shi is very very nice lor. She is like our team's mental pillar strength you know? No matter the results we get for competition, she will always encourage us and say "It's hard on you." She's a dam nice teacher la, even better than Wang Lao Shi.
She treated the whole team and Cai Jiao Lian to Swissotel Eilenborough market cafe for a buffet lunch. The lunch is very ex sia. $38/person for lunch leh. We were like very heart pain for her cos our team consists about more than 25 people.
Well, the lunch was quite ok. The seafood were all very fresh. Especially Sashimi, sotong and sea cucumber. Shiok sia... But sometimes, very fresh seafood is not so nice after all. For instance, Jonathan took 3 oysters and ate 1. I can see by his and Sophie's expression that the oysters were so fresh that they said there's the East Coast Park smell lol!
The desserts were also AWESOME! Waa... Red Bean Soup, Ice cream, pudding, cakes, chocolate fudge and many more. There's this durian thingy dam delicious sia. It tasted like durian squash just that eating too much of it will make one heaty. I think the most variety in Swissotel is the desserts lol.
I see You Zhe like the Roasted Duck but he eats so little! Haha... Hong Wei, Zhan Hao and i were like getting ready to chiong for sashimi when new plates are displayed. Because it is too nice liao, the sashimis are always not enough within 10 minutes.
After the whole lunch, the team was like Cam-Whoring? Lol. Especially Yong Chao and See Ann... Not to forget Fangyu's gang and Jie Ru (lol)... Then after presenting the token of appreciation, they announced the EXCO finalists and i am in! Yeah! I became the Captain. Although i cant get my post as vice-captain, but i believe i can contribute to the team so that we will be very bonded. Well, initially, i did not apply for captain partly because of TYH! lol... (Sorry Melissa! XD) Cos TYH is like everytym sees me jiu scold me liao. "Eh! Wushu one! Why so fat!" here "Eh! Wushu one!" there.... Haha never mind... I will bear with it or maybe prove him wrong! Haha...
After the lunch we went to Plaza Sing to get Cai and Guo Jiao Lian's presents. Erm... It's quite unpleasant after the whole thingy. Well, let bygones be bygones ok? I think partly is my fault. Because i did not really put full attention in finding a "many-compartments" pouch for Jiao Lian.
PS: CHEN LAO SHI! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE TREAT! WE, VJC WUSHU TEAM, LOVE YOU!
Guess what? I had been able to pass my 2.4km run! Very very very fortunately, i did not run an extra round. My timing was 12:59 and i managed to pass my NAPFA with silver! Yeah! I am so so happy as this was my best timing for 2.4km run in my whole life.
Well, mostly, I had to thank Sophie for influencing me and teaching me lots of things regarding physical body training. Today, she even forego the soccer match and lesson to help me count and guiding me of the running pace during 2.4... Moreover, during the 5th round, when i was too tired and about to stop, she encouraged me not to stop and continue running. Then, i forced myself to run and during the last round, i was very very motivated and ran as fast as i could, hoping to end the running sooner and earlier. Then i took my number and i was 3rd! Woohoo... 3rd as in for the retakes and those who haben take lol. Haha...
However, i felt sad for Yao Yang as he suffered from stomache during the run. He stopped after his 3rd round and rushed to the toilet. Waa... so wasted man. He had no choice but to take the test again next tuesday. The saddest thing is that Zhong Yang failed (as in can't pass with Silver) by 4s sia. That's the wasted of the wasted. Never mind, Zhong Yang... You can try 1 more time next week and dun stop when you run. You will pass de.
Then then, Sophie, Hui Ying and me went to play basketball. Lol... We played ABC and random match. Sometimes like a real friendly match, sometimes just practise how to shoot lol... So random... Sophie is very unlucky today. She had been hit by the basketball twice at her face and once at her legs. SORRY! WE ARE SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY!!!!!! Hui Ying and I hope that you can forgive us....
PS: Feeling fab today! I pass! Woohoo... Won't drag my team down to running with me liao! Thank You Sophie! haha...
Yesterday, my class, along with some friends and the school's badminton team were invited to Isabel's birthday party. Before i went to her house together with Yao Yang, we went to Kovan Heartland Mall to buy her a present and a birthday card to celebrate. We went to several stores and we stopped by at "Gift-A-Name". There was one not-young-not-old and funny aunty? or xiao jie? she's very sociable. We wanted to buy Bel a T-shirt with her name printed on the shirt. But we think that it's too plain because there's only plain white T-shirt left.
When we ask whether we can buy a T-shirt from other shops like Giordano or Hang Ten, they say cannot. This is a company rule. Sian la... Then we think very hard what to add. Yao Yang thought of printing extra "Happy Birthday" at the bottom but i don't like it. Then i think of "07S52 loves you", he don't like it lol... Then we had to ask Hua Lin's opinion. When i was on the phone, the not-young-not-old ok la, xiao jie said she can help us sew 2 cute soft toys onto the shirt to make it nicer. Then Yao Yang and i think that the idea wasn't too bad. So i hang up and agreed to her idea. According to her, the shirt we bought is the only one because there should not be sewing of small soft toys to the shirt de. The soft toys are small rabbits and cute bird. So CUTE lol...
Then we were asked to go walk walk for half an hour before going back. After we had gotten the present and card, we went straight to Bel's house by my dad. Her house was so big lol... Can even put a pool table (original size). The party was crazy lol. We were all laughing away and eating the appetising food. Zhong Yang and Terry was like playing Television games? Not that kind of video games.... It's a lame game...---Imitating the television programme like Tennis Competition. LOL...
PS: HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO ISABEL!
ARGHHHH!!! Finished my NAPFA 2.4km just now. I was so angry when i realised thati ran one more round (2.8km)! HOW CAN I BE SO STUPID?! AHHHHHH!!! GOD DAMMIT!
I was losing count at 2nd/3rd round. When i think i was running the 5th round, my friend, Gavin ask me "still got 1 more round meh?" That's when i realised i ran 1 mre round.
Moreover, i was the slowest in the class when it supposed not to be me. And i didnt see 1 of my friends overtaking me from behind and he won me in 4 positions! I remembered he was behind me all along!
Besides, I also remembered running 100m-200m behind Xiao Xian. She told me that i ran an extra round after the whole thing and i was so sad la! My timing was 15:30 la, when i can actually get 13.20 easily if i didn't run that extra round!
Wa lao! I cant believe i made this fatal, stupid, atrocious mistake sia! My wushu friends, please forgive me! I make sure i will pass the next re-test! Oh gosh, i don't know how to explain to Melissa, Yong Chao and mostly Mr Tan Yew Hwee when they ask me why i fail so badly.
1st round, 1:35, 2nd round: 3:40 3rd round-6th rounds: the teacher didnt say and that's when i lost my count! ARGHHH!!! I STILL CANT BELIEVE IT! I M SUCH AN IDIOT LA! I made the mistake that the PE teacher warn us about! God dammit!
I ask 3 other friends and they say they think i run another round sia! Wa lao eh!
PS: Still cant believe it! I must persuade the teacher to make me re-take next friday! By hook or by crook!
Well, today is definitely my unlucky day man. Firstly, i could not catch a single word taught by all the tutors today despite me trying very hard to listen. Alright, i played games during some lectures.
Secondly, just now was my "A" Level Chemistry SPA. I was quite confident at first but was demoralized by my 2nd titration. My first reading was 21.40 but my 2nd titration reading is undefined. (no change of colour despite adding in 40cm3 of solution. I redo my titration and i make sure that everything was right. Ensuring the correct amount of acid added to iron(II) sulphate. However, i got the same results as my 2nd titration. I was extremely frustrated. Then i did the 4th one and i get the same reading as my 1st. Then i prayed for my readings to be correct as i don't have the time to check. I did my comments on the report immediately and at the end of the experiment, my friend told me something that make me fall. All their readings are 24.70. I was feeling very.... sian.....
The last misfortune of the day is that during my speech for Wushu EXCO, i kept stuttering and i tend to answer wrongly or say the wrong words. How unlucky can i get? Then the interview comes over, i was very very nervous as all of the seniors tend to act like VJC house comm. They were all serious and strict sia. I also forget to answer the behind part of their questions they asked. Oh man... Today's certainly not my day.....
Well, let's forget it. Tomorrow will be a better day and we must look at the bright side of life. Who knows i had finished using my misfortune and starts to get lucky now? Haha...
Oh ya... By the way, today's Jian Nan's birthday. Jian Nan is my best friend and classmates lol. His "cake" was beatifully decorated with 8 candles and the wax actually fell to the pudding which made the top layer inedible. Haha... I played a prank on Jian Nan by making him drink 2 big cups of Chin Chow before celebrating his birthday. Oh ya... His present is super nice lol... I pick one leh... If i haf more money, i will buy one more for myself lol.... But if i buy that bag, i will probably be skinned by my mom as i haf plenty of bags at home.
PS: TML WILL BE A BETTER DAY! PLS TELL ME THAT!
I was doing my NAPFA test (5 items) just now. Initially, i thought that i have failed my pull-ups and my standing broad jump. (As in not really fail la, is fail in VJC's expectation which is silver) I so scared i will pull my whole wushu team down. I am feeling very down.
Ok la... At least my sit and reach cheered me up a little... I was feeling very sian so i only stretched until 60cm. I was sianing all the way till shuttle run and get 10.5s. Wth la... The hall is so slippery lor. It was so different from CCHMS back then where they always had a running mat for friction.
I did 3 pull-ups and i jumped 216cm for standing broad jump. I also did 42 sit-ups. I was so angry when i actually need 1 more to get A! Then, after the whole process, i decided to check on the NAPFA board once again. I found out that 16 yr old guys only need to do 3-4 pull-ups for D and jump 216cm for D grade. I was super happy when i realised that i pass all 5 items! My day lightened up again and my heart was as light as feather.
I was jumping around continuously then i suddenly get to worry about my 2.4km run. That was the most important event of all NAPFA test and 2.4km has always been a trouble to me. (My best result was an E grade, which is just pass during secondary school)
Then, i decided on training my stamina for the remaining week and i will be starting from tomorrow onwards... In fact, i had already started. I was running with my senior Sophie after PE... but only 4 rounds since i was very exhausted.
I hope to pass my NAPFA and not to drag the whole Wushu team to run ECP every morning with me. (That's what my captain, Melissa told me)
Anoher incident was reading an article about Wushu in redsports.sg . The author was very bias of writing all about how people win Chung Cheng High and nothing about VJC, which had clinched all the overall "A" division champ this year. They write until it sounds that CCHMS is so lousy and "A" Division is of no importance to us. Alright, their report on MI is ok. It's quite interesting to include MI in as they are quite good this year.
If they include Liu Chang and Shi Kai about attaining 3 golds in this yr Competition, what about Zhi Jian, Yi Liang and Hao Jie? They also got 3 golds.
PS: Please read redsports.sg/category/wushu if u doubt what i say. Alright, i may sound bias towards VJC and CCHMS, but i am stating some facts...
