Third Language and Waterpolo

Ok I have not posted for a long time. Something happened to my last Thursday that makes me feel stupid.

On Thursday, I was actually supposed to take bus to MOELC for my third language with Tze han and Ming Shi but in the end they abandon me and went ahead first as I needed to let Mr Loh sign my Class Transfer form for my third language. It was my first time taking bus there as my father usually come and drive me there. As I was in the com lab, i checked the bus number in the Internet and finally found my way there. What a relief man. I thought I will lose my way and furthermore on that day I had forgotten to bring my hp.
Yesterday, the result for the students allocated into the different CCA was out. Darren, Zexter and 12 other students was in Waterpolo. I can't wait to see them in action. I hope they will start their training as soon as possible.

Goals!

Blog Prompt: Imagine that you are Dr Tan and that you have been invited to make an article contribution to a youth magazine to encourage young people to set worthwhile goals and work towards them.

Article: Hi everyone. I am Dr Tan and I am very happy to be able to make an article contribution in this youth magazine to encourage every single one of you out there to set worthwhile goals and work towards them.
The key to setting goals and successfully achieving them is perseverance. One should not set goals that are either too easily to achieve or too hard to accomplish. When you have set your target, do not be afraid and give up easily because of some minor mistake. You must bear in mind that everyone makes mistake and occasional mistakes are fine.
No pain no gain. You should work really hard if you want to achieve your goals. There are many obstacles that you must go through but in the end the result will always be sweet even if you didn't accomplish your goals. Therefore, don't be discouraged if you didn't accomplish your goals as there is always a second chance.
Failing to plan is planning to fail. Time management is very important as you can save a lot of time to do other things by doing so.Thus, always plan and manage your time carefully and accurately.
Most importantly, you must set goal that you really want. In that way, you will have the personal drive and passion to work towards it.

Chinese New Year Celebration

Yes! We can wear home clothes to school today. Today's celebration was nice. I like the Lion Dance and Wu Shu part most. Today was suppose to have waterpolo training from 10.30am-12.30pm but the pool was closed so i think it was cancelled.

Went back to De La Salle School and the security guard only allowed us to go in at 1pm and we have to wait at macs. Lol
Met some of our friends. Some changed a lot, while some are still the same old self. Went to see my P5 and P6 teacher to talk about the new school and stuffs. After that 2.30pm followed Jeff and his class to macs again, because their teacher blanja them.

After that went home. End of story.......

Whaling

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I am a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and I am here today to give a speech about the cruelty of the fishing industry to whales in Japan.

The reason why whales are still hunted is because they are a source of food for the Japanese and whaling for scientific-research purposes has also become an important practice. The excessive hunting of whales has resulted in the depletion of the population of the whales which might one day lead to the extinction of whales. If the whales become extinct, it will affect the whole eco-system, which indirectly will affect us. Therefore, we must prevent it from happening. Farming whales in captivity to increase the population of the whales has never been attempted and would almost certainly be logistically impossible. However, if we hunt whales in moderation, the population will slowly but surely increase. I hope that all the whalers in Japan can hunt whales in moderation and everyone of us can do our part by not purchasing any whale-related product. I hope that my speech has made a difference and together we can make a difference.

Thank You

Alright, I have not post for quite some time already because I have no time. All my time is spent on homework, CCA and more homework. Therefore, I will try to recall what happened last week.

Thursday
Went for the mathematical olympiad selection test. There was 12 questions and it's a 1-hour paper. After 45 minutes I had only done 4 questions. Amazing right? I hope I did well.
I also had my first third language lesson which is french at MOELC (Ghim Moh). However, because of the mathematical olympiad selection test I reached there half an hour late but the teacher didn't reprimand me. Learnt some funny word like "Bonjour" for good morning and good afternoon. That's the most basic one I think. Next week, I hope I will be able to say 1-10 in french.

Friday
We had our very first Current Affairs discussion in class. The topic was about Economical development has the upper hand against Environmental development. It was a very heated debate but most of my classmates were focusing on the reclamation of land in Singapore instead. I didn't speak much but I think in the next discussion I will participate more.
Yes! Earn 1 op (oral participation)point in mathematics lesson for finding out a mistake. Lol!

Today, nothing special. The timetable for today and tomorrow changed so resulted our class to have three periods of mathematics.

Okay stop here today. I still have things to do. Tomorrow got water polo training, will be very tired so might not post.

W@ter polo trial

This morning when I woke up I felt a strain on the right side of my neck. I think it was cause by my sleeping posture the night before. Because of this I have to walk around with my head tilted to one side for the whole day. Some people said that it was a very obscene sight while others classified it as funny.

Today I went for the water polo trial to help out and I think I have 2 other rivals. Both of them are super good. One of them is Darren from my class and the other one is Zexter. They managed to clock 33.8 sec for 50m freestyle sprint even after a 20 min non stop swim and a 400m sprint which they also excelled at. I don't think I can do that but that's what make the sport more challenging. I hope that they will get into the team and fight along side Sam and me.

I just reached home with homework to do as usual and I hope that my neck will not hurt so badly tomorrow morning.

Reminder!

Hi everyone. It has been three days since I posted on my first entry. Today will be a short one.

I came back home around 7.45pm because i have waterpolo training today. The training was very tough and I am dead tired right now. Just a reminder to all fellow Hwa Chong schoolmates that there will be waterpolo trial tomorrow and next Wednesday from 2.30pm-4.30pm(not very sure about the timing) and please remember to bring your swimming trunks and goggles to school if you are going for the trial as you will be swimming.

That's all for today because I have tons of homework that I have to complete by tonight.

Wish all those going for waterpolo trial good luck!
