So yesterday was Teachers Day and sorry to say this teachers but I kinda wrote your cards on that day itself...until 2.30am? Lols cos I took a lot of time thinking...(until I fell asleep) Had quite little sleep, but school was quite okay, at least the performances were decent and Teachers Day usually have like the funniest performances, haha. Though I was disappointed at the video this year, expected it to be longer and more hillarious... The theme this year was Heroes, which meant the teachers, so they had this competition called Heroes vs Zeroes and students had to compete with teachers for some events. Men had to do a three-legged race, which the teachers had no problem winning- with Mr Joseph Chong...and then for the ladies they had a chair race, the one which a group of 3 people had four chairs and they have to stand on them and move the last chair to the front then walk onto the first chair and so on...the students team were quite fast, but then...the heroes used their abilities and some 'scolded' the group of students and blocked their way while some directly sat on their chairs lols. So the students were stuck, guess the winner. Lols. There was also another funny one, which was the quiz which pitted students' IQ against HODs' lol. And the students even released their secret weapon...Nigel Fong- 'With Fong, things can never go wrong...' but they still lost haha, dam lame, asked questions like wats the square of 185...haha then maths HOD answer.
Anyway, after the celebrations I went around to find my teachers and gave them my cards. Lols quite a scene, everyone was crowding at the staffroom and stuff. Then went with the Rosyth people to watch movies at the library and I watched Stormbreaker, the Alex Rider movie. It was quite nice, cos it follows the book faithfully and some of the scenes were cool haha. I particularly liked the scene where Alex tried out the stormbreaker haha, cool. Then after watching we went to J8 to have lunch and then to Rosyth. Saw lots of people standing outside the school when we got there. Reminded me of the school's unreasonable policy. Then we could finally get in and I went around looking for Mrs Ng, Mr Lee and Mrs Wong, the usual teachers I would meet whenever I return, haha. They still look the same to me, haha good to see them doing well and its always nice to hear what they have to say, haha. My P5 buddy, Isaac, needs to relax more... Mrs Wong needs to take care of herself, cos everytime I go back i hear her voice getting worse... After the visit, Darren, Sher Yin, Jim, Yee Shing and I went to the void deck nearby and just chatted lols. Its fun catching up with old frens, really. Was quite happy to see some at school too haha. Then went home to nap and then mug the whole night away.
Today morning was the Scout Lore Quest! participated in the quiz section and went to school early...or so I thought. Didnt expect so many of them to be already there...but its ok, cos Im prepared haha. Then did some final revision and went to visit out static display booth while waiting for the quiz to start. Ventures quiz was first. It was only between 01 and 02 lols. We didnt do as well in the first round but caught up in the second and third round, haha and got 1st! =D Exciting to watch... haha. Then was ours...the Scouts section quiz. Dont understand why the number of questions for us were less than the Venture's one, cos they had 2 teams in the final while we had 3, but they had more questions than us...
Ours was really exciting...we ended the first individual round leading, with 8-4-2 (01-02-Beatty) then second group round was well-done, haha so roughly 28-9-7. (we got 4 correct!) Then the last one was group-buzzer round, worth 100 points, so was the most important...you can see that we were kinda stagnating for many questions, so much that 02 actually caught up after the fourth last question- one just one point more. With three more to go, Beatty answered one correct. Two more to go, nobody could answer. The absolute last one. We told ourselves that we have to snatch this oquestion no matter wat...correct-move back up to 1st place, wrong- maintain 2nd. Thats why. And so we got it, and its...easy. lol. Which side should the tent opening face when you camp near the sea at night? - It should face the sea. And we got that correct! So we all thought we had won, but no...the judges gave us another extra question to replace one question earlier which they accidently released answers for. What was Baden Powell's favourtie hobby? - Flyfishing. 02 was in the same situation as us, so they did wat we did too. Snatch the question, but they answered it wrongly. And so thats how we got 1st! =D Haha. What a relief...
Overall, I must say we did quite well, 1st for both sections of the quiz, and a silver for the static display! =D Good Job to all who have participated! Both for the scouts and venture section and quiz and static display categories! But especially those from my team! lols, Alvin, Anurak (not Glenn), Raga and Yi Ming. We all did well! Haha, luckily didnt let the absence from night hike go to waste...
