Today is a Tuesday, which is supposed to be one of the shorter days at school, but there seems to be a lot of things going on today. Firstly, (not related to stuff after school) we had a free period for Social Studies which we were supposed to write an essay on our own, but we sort of wasted the lesson away, but not fully, cos Mrs Lim our bio teacher took about a quarter of the period to teach extra stuff for our CCT. The rest of the time was spent doing everything except writing the essay. Then we had our mother tongue CCT, which was a bit wierd, becos one section was like ultra giveaway of about 16 marks/60 marks of the paper, but the others were really quite difficult and I think that i wrote crap for some of the questions.

So after school, Jim and I ate a light lunch and rushed off to the stadium where we had our shotput competition. I was quite nervous when i saw all the people there- familiar faces (= experienced). But I tried not to let that affect me and just threw. In the end, I just passed my personal goal of top 3 and got third. Worse than last year. It was a really scary experience, cos the teacher wrote our positions wrongly at first and I got...so after a while he realised and changed it, so became slightly better. I really wouldnt say I did well this time round, but still want to thank all those who have given me their support and well wishes! =) Especially Jim, who was there with me the whole time and let me like squeeze his hands really tightly after the competition when I got a bit...insane? I hope Jim also had an enriching experience with me!! So after that was over and some chatting, we went back to school for a talk on talking. Yes, a workshop-like thing about public speaking for all the prefects and CCA representatives. Think we were chosen becos of our bad speaking skills, lols, but the talk was quite interesting and it really showed me how to speak better in front of people next time. The english teachers made the 5-7pm thing really engaging (as in literally), so even when its extended until 7.30pm, many of us didnt mind. The teachers were showing us examples while teaching us, which made it more fun, haha. I remembered one part close to the end of the talk when the speaker's laptop went into hibernating mode because it ran out of power, and she went "AIYOOOOOO!" and everyone laughed. That was one of the strategies she taught us earlier about being always on your feet, ready to face problems and how to and stuff. She's a good speaker.

So thats about all today, feeling very tired now after the long day, and so goodbye! zzz...
