enrichment wk! :)
woahhhh! i really v long nv blog alrdy.. hehe sorry ppl.. was lyk v sian, din hav much time to blog too.. but yupp since it's e enrichment wks i shall use e time to blog ba..
hmmm well e end of hols i din do much la, but when sch reopened we started studying lohh *duh*.. haha, e basics la, go sch, study, come home, sleep. ya hahah. dance started last wk, coz we had to prep for some constituency's national day gala dinner.. doing e syf item.. haha yupp.
last wk's enrichment wk.. i had a social skills workshop, integrated circuits talk, dialogue wif e feedback unit of e govt, self reflection workshop, film techniques lecture, powerpoint workshop. haha ya tt was last wk.. hmmm let me elab on each abit okay?
social skills.. hmmm nth much, but we did alot of group work, and noe how to ask questions to get ppl to open up, stuff..
integrated circuits.. it has two parts, one was held last wk, one today.. hmm today's lecture super long and boring.. ya but quite interesting, abt ic chips, transistors, stuff..
dialogue wif feedback unit.. hmmm well e main question put out by us is tt isnt e students' indifference to e country and its state a problem? how come schools spend so much on NE, but students almost detest it? view it as propaganda? how can we ensure loyalty in our students, whom are to be future leaders of e country? through NE? i dont think it would b safe or right to think so. ya.. hmmm then i rber e nxt day miss ng (mei sze, ip hod) was lyk giving me a killer look.. diaoz i donno, i don mean to sound lyk i'm totally against NE but i was jus voicing out wat is really happening at e student level. if ppl want to cont thinking tt NE will make students love e country, i hav nth else to say.. i hav nth against miss ng, i think she's a nice person, but it's jus i guess she isnt v nice to students lyk me who are not v outstanding in our studies?
self reflection.. tt was totally totally.. WAHH. as in, we totally din expect to b taking care of old ppl. i don mean to say tt i hav no heart for e elderly, but looking at e name of e course, and e synopsis, where on earth did e word "elderly" appear? we din even expect it la.. okay enuff said.
film techniques lecture.. hmmm quite okay la, managed to watch films mahh so was quite fun la..
powerpoint course.. haha coz i needed hours so i signed up for this.. but learnt a few features of powerpoint tt i've nv known..

tues, went to kusu island! haha, we were supposed to gather at ard 7 50 at e atrium. and when e teacher was taking attendence by class e canoeists were not ard yet.. so e teacher asked us to call them quickly so we cld move out earlier.. i called zi wei, donno if charmaine called huiming, ya then they hurried over. they had training in e morn, coz nationals were ystday, today and tml.. hmmm ya then later e entire mass of us were divided into 4 groups of 15.. yupp my group had charmaine, sharon lourdes, lucinda, weiling, jessica, an chi, myself, sui hang, zi wei, dexian, jeremy, scott, shenxiang, woonjeck, wenshu, .. haha our group had 16 ppl instead.. yupp. hmmm don feel lyk gg into e details too much, but we took a bus into sentosa, and took a ferry from e ferry terminal.. kusu island was super small la.. took less than 15mins to walk ard it.. haha ya then we started e treasure hunt.. ran ard.. haha. there was a chinese temple, wif a wishing well, sculpture of two giant tortoises, a tortoise shelter wif many terrapins (haha), a muslim temple up on a hill.. got to climb alot of steps up.. ya, then aft e hunt (more lyk station games la, reach e correct place do a task tt kind of thing), we had lunch, brought own food.. but many din bring enuff, so went to e temple where e auntie and uncle cooked.. $3 per plate! wahh daylight robbery.. but i guess they had to.. rare chance lei got so many hungry teenagers :) hmmm then we were supposed to go explore marine life in e sea, but it started pouring. wahh we got in e water wif shoes alrdy, then less than 5 mins later we had to get out of e water coz it was raining to heavily. ya, then we jus stayed in shelter for sometime until e rain got lighter and we resumed our tour of e sea :) saw many interesting things la, lyk a sand dollar and e moult of a flowercrab.. ya then aft tt we went back to sentosa, grabbed food at bk, then went back.. ya tt was my day :)
