Lols, for the past few days, I dunno why I have been exposed to a lot of carrom, haha. Like on wednesday, the carrom fiesta that the ventures had organised. It was, well, interesting enough. Could learn and practice some tricks/skills that they taught to us. Being a beginner, I wasnt much of a player, and admit that I did really badly at most of the stations. Felt a bit sad that I was sort of dragging the team down, and couldnt really contribute much. So we really didnt do well for this, and were quite sad, duh.
Thursday was...Maths test! Sorry I just had to cut in and talk about this cos this was the culprit for causing me some degrees of mental damage worrying about it. Firstly its because the test was testing on a topic covered 3 months ago? lols. I know, yes, its my fault for not remembering, but sorry, thats just how I am now, cant seem to remember things taught in the past. And so I had to mug a bit more than usual to revise for it, taking up much of my sleeping time, lol. then on that day itself, since my lesson was on the last period, I had the chance to talk to others about the test. Not on the content! but just the difficulty, lols. They all said: Very hard....very hard....sure fail...pass I happy liao...dam bomb... Things like that, woa that made me worry even more la, think i have some anxiety disorder for certain situations lol. Then recess I forced myself to break out of it by selling the coupons for AVSW at the canteen, and talked to some friends. That really helped. Note that I did NOT even get to meet Jim after his test, so no arguments about that, lol. Well, I must say Im glad I mugged, cos I actually knew some parts of the test and well, because of some tips I got from Mrs Chong last year about log, I managed to figure out the working for at least 2 questions in the test. How lucky. Really it was pure recalling of what Mrs Chong said about log last year which made me remember what steps to do... Well, wish for the best!
So today, Friday, I went to hand in the geog wss for the class after getting lunch after school. Then went to the den to slack around for a while, also handing in the AVSW coupons. 'Very touching' Lol. Then went to the astroturf to watch my class play a friendly against some other random classes. I think we are getting better. =) Didnt play, cos I didnt want to affect them playing, since I wont be playing in those real matches anyway, lol. Im a better supporter, haha. And also because I wasnt feeling very well this afternoon, like blocked nose and stuff, Then plus sneezing. So when time was up, went for humanities club which was mostly presentation on the overseas journeys that our club has gone to, one on Amsterdam in the US and one on Sapporro in Japan. The Japan one was much better planned and seems really fun...but the US one was badly planned- 1000 people living in an 'army camp' with just 24 shower cubicles for 500+ boys, many cancellations, some quarreling among delegates from different countries, and even racism. Woa, thats a whole lot of problems...
Anyway, back to carrom. I sort of pangseh Jim and went to den while he went home. Played carrom in the den with Alvin, Zhong Jun, Amos, Lionel. Haha was quite fun. Think that I have improved a bit on my accuracy, but im stilling failing in gauging the power usage, lols. Many a times when the seeds are supposed to go in, they fly out of the board lols. Then went home with Alvin.
Most of 01-2006 are going for their first class hike tomorrow, which will last 2D1N. So that leaves them with the 1 day after the hike, on Youth Day, to finish up their work. Well, what can I do except wishing them good luck and hope they have an enjoyable and fulfilling time on the hike? Me, on the other hand, will be participating in the Interschool Philosophy Dialogue 2008@RI tomorrow morning. I signed up cos it sounded really interesting, the topics too... Can show some of you some examples of the topics/scenarios being discussed next time. I will be doing the topic titled 'The Girlfriend from Hell' lols. Then tomorrow afternoon, will be going for tuition as usual, then back to Bishan to do the Geog PT, haha. So that pretty much sums up this week, which was full of lost sleep. I will make up for them now...
Oh yes, reaching my 200th post soon! =D
