is usually a happy occasion, just spoilt by the huge amount of work that suddenly appears throughout the day. It was unfortunate, but I gave out the Geog PT on Cyclone Nargis during recess. Mr Koh appeared too and gave out the CLE PT, got the Physics PT after the practical test today, got our English ERP 2 and got reminded of our social advocacy project for english, etc. So many examples to give...meaning so much more work for us.
SS was fun today, we watched a documentary on democracy, using the example of a class monitor election in a primary school in Wuhan, China. The candidates were really quite smart in their strategies, especially ChengCheng, the boy who was pro at using underhand means, lol. The only girl, Xiaofei, was the only one not resorting to these methods, but proved to be the most ineffective in her campaign. LuoLei, the boy whom I supported, won the elections, which I believe was because of the 'goodies' he gave to the class right before the elections lol, and since the young children couldnt judge very well, they gave their votes to him. Haha a very funny and interesting documentary.
Anyway, after school today Alvin, Teng Chuan and I went to build our chemical car for tomorrow's competition. First we pieced everything together, then we tested with the chemicals. But it wasnt so successful, because the chemicals would just flow out of the bottle and not generate enough force to push the car. Then Teng Chuan needed to leave for a while, so I took this chance and went for scouts AC prep again. Painted the banner, helped a little with the gadgets and the boards, then Kenneth decided to go buy tecko and so we were dismissed. Nothing too much today, then went back to chem lab. It really stank at that time lol. The smell of vinegar and more. lol. Then Mr Koh came and assisted us, that was when we progressed the most, haha. Really thank Mr Koh, for staying and helping us, keep the lab open, creating chemicals for us to use, helping to clean up, lol, etc. Would have nominated him for the Caring Teacher Award if he had more experience lol. And then we changed our car structure quite a few times, and modiffied the amounts of chemicals to be used. Finally at about 6+pm, we managed to reach the minimum distance required to qualify in the competition. Then we worked on it further, to determine how we can correct some mistakes like overturning and going off the path. And left at about 7.15 in the end. Wanted to go for dinner, but some of us cant, so just went home with Alvin.
Tomorrow's our competition, and hope we can do well and claim the top prizes! haha. Wishing for good luck now... Oh and it starts at 8 in the morning, so better get some rest now, and also for the AC prep on Sunday and the reat thing on Monday!! =)
