......That's all I think.

Anyways, it has been 20 days since I had actually posted something. It had been a week of school after term holidays so there's quite a lot of thing to talk about.

Miss Goh and Mr. Tiong changed our seats on the first..or second day of school. Then somehow Chuan Ling proposed to change the way of sitting in class. She proposed that we sit in a U shape and leave a space in the centre. But Miss Goh told us that the school actually tried that before and after healf a year, people sitting by the side actually got 'lazy eye'. So, we only change seats.
Nothing new for me, for I am still sitting with Xin Yi. Both of us just happened to move together to the back of the class.

Mmm, Mr Tiong asked us if he can put a video camera behind of the class last week. All of us' reaction was same, which is "Huh??? Why?"Soooo, he explained...Then, we got to know that he's still studying Maths. We said in some days we need to call him Dr. Tiong instead of Mr. Tiong. The first tryout was on last Thursday. He put the camera right beside me and started teaching. But everyone got so distracted that he had an urge to off the camera. But he can't, obviously, because it's for his research. Ahaaa, anyways, he said he is distracted by the camera too. Then he found me and Jessie and asked us for help. He told us to stay back one afternoon every week and do some Mathematics questions under the camera for one hour. I thought it's pretty fun so I decided to help him. He said he wants two of us and a few Singaporeans because he wants to know what's the differences within our thinking.He said foreign students like us have not learn something blah blah blah which I can't remember where people in Singapore primary school do.

Then....we watch a movie during Chinese lessons for this three days. It's a show by Chen Kai Ge(陈凯歌). It's about a 13 year old boy who can play violin very well and his father wanted to bring him to Beijing to learn violin after a competition held . He found a teacher and dropped him down. But he doesn't think the teacher is teaching well so he wanted his son to change a teacher. His son was very angry and sold the violin his mother left to him away. Somehow the boy changed teacher. He was selected to go for a National competition but his father isn't going to watch him. He is leaving that night. A girl who has the same teacher as him was very sad and she told him she only realised she love music so much when she wasn't selected for the competition. The boy said he knew what to do and ran away. The girl went for the competition and the boy went to find his dad in the train station. He found his father and was touched by his father's love towards him and played him the competition piece. He put in all the feelings in him when he played that to thank his father so that's his best piece he ever played. Yunge was crying when the show ended. I think the most touching part is when the boy played the song to his dad, and when the expressions of the boy's dad when the boy sold the violin. But the character who gave me the deepest impression was the Jiang lao shi. He was the boy's first teacher. Although he didn't really teach the boy anything but he trained the boy's patience,and he told him to feel, and think about the music instead of playing it.I really like the man's characters. He earned my respect by not scolding the boy when the boy said he's smellier that his cats and he never see him changing clothes since he knew the man. Instead of hiting or scolding the boy, he thought about himself. He's able change after the boy's words.

Anyways, I am taking part in the Singapore Maths Olympiad competition. It's holding on 29th May(Tuesday) from 9.30am to 12 noon. Erm, venue unknown.

Hmm. Gotta stop here or I will go on and on and I will not get all my homework done.

Uh huh..

Yep. It's uh huh. I got sore eye. So.....no school. That means no camp, no friends, no fun, no sleeping in school, no camp fire, nothing. I won't get to learn those things they have learnt in the camp. And I am going to miss the first and last opportunity to have a camp with my friends this year.

I know it is risky for me to go to the camp, so I didn't. But I really look forward to the camp. It just happened, on day zero. I am sure that I was perfectly fine during the preparations. Then my eye started to... sort of swell, and became very itchy. Wow, then my CCA senior asked me what happened. I think they found something white in my eye. She... wanted to touch my eye but she didn't in the end.Lucky for her. Anyways, when I went back to the boarding school, it worsen. It got quite red and I was scared that it will.. somehow burst. So I called my mum and sms my tutor, Miss Cheung. Miss Cheung called me and told me to tell my parents to come and fetch me, immediately. She told me that the sore eye virus started spreading already. She said she told my roommate that she need to go home( That is Jessie) but she didn't. She only left that day morning.

Not that I wanted to blame her but she really has poor hygiene. She knew she had sore eye but she still came back to school. Her eye was so swollen that she can't go to school. She was lying in her bed for two whole days doing nothing. Her parents didn't even fetch her home.Okay, it is gross enough to live with a person who has sore eye.She even used a handkerchief to collect all her tears and virus.I don't know what did she do to the handkerchief afterwards. Did she wash it? Or she threw it on her table and use her hands which is full of condensed virus to touch the water tap and the bathroom? Seriously I really don't know. She was staying in the room alone, for the whole day. Is it safe? She shouldn't have stay for so long. She actually shouldn't have came back to the boarding school. It is really inconsiderate to come back because you will pass the virus to everybody near you.Then those people will pass it to their classmates and family memebers,and those people will pass it back to their family members. It is not exaggerated. That's what happened during SARS period. It may not be that serious but it is no joke. What do you think will happen to the community?

Ehem... back to the story. So I called my parents. They reached there about 9.56pm. So, very depressed, I brought everything home. I am not planning to go back until the term holiday is over. Since then, I finally understand the importance of personal hygiene. I hope my friends care about it. It is really very important. When you are sick, don't go to crowded places, be considerate.Don't pass the virus to everyone. It really is a serious matter.And remember to wash your hands very often, especially after coming back from places.

Um... I think my friends are preparing for the camp fire already. If I am not wrong, they are going to have talent time tonight.Wish them all the best.Hope they all enjoy the camp. I am sure they will do well because.... 105'07 ROCKS!!!!!!!*yells*

* According to Chuan Ling, Mr Tiong made the whole class applaud for us, because two of us actually stayed back to stack up all the chairs and desks.Then take off all the chinese new year decorations, and clean the classroom. Mr Tiong walked past our class and saw us that day. He looked suprised because there's only two of us.Anyways, thank him for helping us. We manage to use one hour and a half to finish everything. By the way, by the time we finished everything, all of us have red face and untidy hair. But I actually enjoyed throughly. I don't know what about Chuan Ling la.

I gotta go.It's kinda late already. Need to take my medicine.

Yay!! At home now...

Oh...I didn't know I haven't been posting anything for so long. Okay...it's quite normal for the other people but to me, going home is big deal...Never mind..Anyways, I went to accompany some old folks today.It's after school.

We rushed to the place we are supposed to meet after the bell rang.We were so excited and ran very fast. All...no, most of us were carrying big bags onto the bus because we need to clear things away by Monday( people are staying in our classrooms).We departed at around...2..40p..m. It was raining. We reached the place quite quickly, to my surprise.

We were stoning around the place at first.(We are supposed to do something). Those old folks helped themselves..lol.They took those chairs and sat down.Miss Goh's very embarrassed and quickly told us to do some work.All of us were really very shy and didn't want to talk to them.Alas, we started to warm up after Audrey and Jianing went to organise the place.We played games.Pretty boring but we enjoyed ourselves.Thanks to them.

Then we still had time left so we sang songs like 月亮代表我的心, 甜蜜蜜,老鼠爱大米,童话,恭喜恭喜,朋友,友谊万岁,and more and more.Somehow we sang Mai hum Mai hum.Lol.Mee Siam Mai Hum.Then some of the old folk got tired of us and wanted to go home.So we dismissed them.

Then Miss Goh briefed us about our behavior.Loads of positive points and only a few negative points.She said we did a good job and she's really pleased.The person from Lionbefrienders association came and thank us for coming.As we really had fun so we wished to go there again. We found that it's fun to play with those old folks although they may be naggy.

Around five we went back to school. All of us felt very tired and didn't talk much. Only Vanessa and Jessie Tan very so hyper, they were singing songs. Van went kicking my skirt as she's so excited.(She sits behind me).Anyways, my mum reached the BS at 6pm.Then I quickly went home.Lucky there wasn't any traffic jam.

Now...finished all homework.Okay, things to do tomorrow: Find Mrs Chek tomorrow, Apply to leave school early on 19th March,return book to library and check what to bring list for life skills camp.Anyways, I don't really know how big my bags(two, mind you) will be.Anyways, I am so happy because we are going to stay in school!!First time in my life!!Annd, our class have a class blog already.Very different from my primary school.I am sure that some of my primary schoolmates don't know what is a blog.

Oh yeah...I forgot.Last Monday,Chuan Ling and I went for math remedial.When we told Mr Tiong,he's like..uh...wasting my time.Because we just go there for fun.When we were waiting outside the board room, we felt very bad.But since we already came so we went in.Lucky there's more than two of us.He found a couple more person. Then he said, how encouraging that there's only two out of seven of us needs remedial.We finished our worksheet in a short time.Then he talked to Chuan Ling and me.He asked us if we are happy in the first term of school.Then Chuan Ling said she was bullied by us.I said Chuan Ling had been screaming in class.Mr Tiong said it's normal for a monitress to shout. Then I told him that Chuan Ling shouted because people had been poking her.Then Chuan Ling framed me!! She said I poked her.I said I didn't .Then she said I didn't protect her from people poking her. I was like this =.= Mr Tiong laughed and shook his head.Mr Tiong was mean that day.He said very unkindly,smiling to those people.He pointed on the paper and said 'wrong..', 'Wrong...','WRONG!!','WRONG!!!!!'. IF I were the person,I will be dead embarrassed.By the time the remedial ends,it's raining so Chuan Ling and I weren't intending to go home.You know what Mr Tiong said? He said 'Now, quickly go home now,you mum will miss you.'Then Chuan Ling said' Poor Bei Shi don't have her mum to miss her.' Then we settled down in front of maths department and started to talk about everything.

Anyways,I better stop or I will write everything out.I really will write something like' I went to the toilet at 5.42p.m.'.I would better pack something for the life skills camp...Bags and bags for me to bring back.Okay,I will stop here and blog next time.
