福建节

星期6。 我要与红团组员一同到新加坡大会堂。那里就是举办第三次福建节的地点!我们要在那儿耍武术,唱歌跳舞。



那天,我一大早就起了床,搭地铁到新加坡大会堂。会堂外摆满了许多摊位来售卖福建食品。许多红团组员都已经到场了。我们就要在停车场的入口表演。



不可思议!



我们彩排时,就挡住了许多来往车子的路,双方很不方便。有一次,一辆车停在我们彩排的中央,带来许多麻烦。

彩排完毕后,老师们让我们去参观会堂外的些食物摊位。那里有一个个的福建美食,如kongbabaoowajian等等。我和团员们一同去吃东西,添饱肚子。

后来,等了差不多25分钟后,大人物来了。教育部长黄永宏先生到场咯!表演就开始了。

。。。可惜,我们只是为几位重要人物看罢了。。。真浪费!

过后,我们都到会堂里等老师。里头摆了关于福建人的传统的物品。里头也讲到那些伟大的福建人物和他们对社会做出的贡献。那里也有讲到华中呢!:)

就这样,我团员们都做巴士回到会馆去。我呢,父母都来接我回去。这一天就这样结束了。

Aphellion Nite!


The End Of The Year!
Aphelion Nite was held on a Fri. It was 2 celebrate the end of the year with our Aphellion-mates. And, as the name suggests, it was held in HCI at night. They provided dinner and a show.
Dinner was at 6. When the food was uncovered, there was a stampede for the food. I had to wait almost 10+ mins to get the food. There was SweetNSour Fish, pineapple rice, macaroni and cheese (which was not so good), veg and prawn fritters. the drinks had almost ran out by the time I got to it. They had to get a refill. The only thing not so good about it was that they only had enough drinks to support all students and staff for only half the meal. (hope this can b improved!)
The performance started in the auditorium at about 6:30 . It started off with several songs and some rock music. The 2 boys singing up on stage must have thrown their faces to space: their singing was horrible. The bands were not too bad, except for one of the players: he had the speaker blasting right into my face. I couldn't hear anything else. BOO! (you might think i am "too harsh" to criticize this guy, but if u were there, you would have written the same thing on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, diary...blahblahblah)
After that were some games. The games were played by both students and teachers alike. They were hosted by our class' old buddy. So, we knew him very well and used this point to get an advantage. There was a "Don't Forget The Lyrics" game, a competition to see who would be the funniest person in the whole auditorium and a Limbo game. The Limbo competition was a free-for-all. Students were seen rushing up on stage to get a chance to win "glory" for their class.
There was a voting session conducted by the teachers for a "Mr Aphelion". The students sent up a voting for a charming and warm-hearted guy up on stage to enter a competition. Winners received a prize. Sadly, our class only got the runner-up. Why? Cause there were only 2 people in Lower Sec category.
As it neared the end, there was a sing-along session, hosted by all Sec 4s. They were given glow-sticks and were asked to line up on stage to sing "我问天". It was fun. After that, unexpectedly, was a literal glow-stick fight between the Sec 4s and the Sec1s to 3s. Glow-sticks were bombarded from the audience to the stage, only to receive a "return fire" of glow-sticks at themselves.
The whole thing ended at about 9. Actually, most of the Nite was taken up by the Sec 4s. It was like a graduation ceremony for them: we were just there to 仇热闹. Hope we can include the Sec 3s to 1s more next time.

"Sports Day"

The "Sports Day" was a day where all classes competed in an inter-class competition. Of course the levels will be the same lah.



the FOSHA (Festival Of Sports Health and Arts)(and it is NOT some Buddhist organisation) is held annually. It is played by Sec 1s and 3s (the Sec 2s are at OBS and Sec 4s at their graduation stuff)



5 sports to choose from: badminton, basketball, soccer, table tennis and frisbee. Divide and conquer. Class will be divided into different teams to take on some games. winners get points, losers also get points, but not as much. teacher says this is to promote everyone to PLAY! HAVE FUN! YAY!



I wanted to go to the soccer team. Since i was in a team as a goalie in primary school, my "resume" was accepted. I got into the soccer team.



The soccer court we played in was a street-soccer court near the JC side. On the first day, it had rained. since it was open-air, we had to play in the shelter nearby. Our team played against another team, which was ok. We beat them 4-1.



The next day was disastrous. It was a sunny day. However, I got the "cursed" side of the field. ( There is a 'myth' that the side closer towards the High School side is so-called cursed). The myths were true. We were pwned 4-NIL! Off the list we went into the trash...

Conclude this big jump...

Ok, so i didn't blog for a long time...

it's now sch holidays in HCI.

This is to sum up whatever there was for the past 8-9 months.

1) the EOY
2 ) the "Sports Day"
3) anything else that happened.

if i can't finish it up within this entry, i'll do it in subsequent ones. haha.

1) EOY

EOY was DREAD. }:O

EOY is End Of Year, which means exams.

It was gan chiong this and gan chiong that.

Teachers also start printing past year papers for us. The papers were not that tough though... haha!

So, to put it in 2 words: gan chiong

The seniors, the sec 3s and 4s, were the first to kena. a week later, we were next.

EOY was a "whole school event". No classes, no visiting teachers, and most important of all, NO TALKING. Once we were finished with our papers, we were freed, only to fly back to "The cage" the next day... :`{

The EOY lasted for a whole week. After that, we were the happiest jolly-men on Earth.

The results were reasonable as well... haha... (faking it)
