" Saturday, January 27, 2007It was a romance movie that had been extracted from a novel i think.It talked about a couple who had started dating during their university year.The guy - Nam who was acted by Louis Koo,had many admirers as he was handsome and muscular.He came from a well off family who had high expectations on him. Rene liu acted as - Mi, the girlfriend off louis koo. She was a piano prodigy.Her only problem was the insecurity she felt.It occured during the period when her mother left her when she was young.As she was afraid of her boyfriend will left him, she decided to break up with him and told him that he wanted them to be just friends.Best of the best friend.If she did this, she will not fear of losing him anymore as she could choose not to care of what he did outside.After a few years, Nam went overseas to study, he left Mi without her wishing. Although he felt terrible, he still went. He never come back for a long time. When he was back, Mi was going off to Japan to study music.They hardly had a chance to meet. But they still contact each other.Nam would send a text message to her wishing her Happy Birthday every year without fail.It seemed like almost a ritual to do that.but one year, when Mi heard that Nam was going to marry soon, she was devastated. She still loved Nam alot.Her heart seemed to stop.Although Nam had married, Mi still recieved his text message once a year during her birthday.Her friend kept the secret from her that Nam had died from cancer.Nam had make up a story so that Mi would not be sad. Actually, Nam still loved har alot too.All themessages had been sent by her sister in his name all this while.It was really a heart wrenching story.Touching but not enough to make me cry.People cry watching it, i wonder why im don't.Haha, seemed like i'm a cold hearted person.Hee..

REMEMBER the times when we are still sec 1ners, we seemed to love choir so much, never missed any practice, never find any excuses to not to come..But now, everything were different. What happened to all the leaders? Seem to become monster overnight. Is it because of what the ex-seniors told u all must have power over the weak? What's the point of listening to them when they are not even right!! Implemented fine on latecomers? Applaused to those who were late? You all are humiliating us! By the way, the school or the teacher did not even agree to take money from us! I will have a right to speak up if money was involved. We had no advantage when we are late, that we know! But isn't it our own problem to solve? Why must we gave money the seniors?? Is it bribery? I think it seems so. Even bribery is better than this unreasonable treatment. now i know why we people don't like to attend choir! The incident yesterday, make us hate choir more...
We can't sing like the ex-choir member, so please DO NOT make us sings like you all! With your arrogant attitude, and discouragement, i doubt we will do well for SYF! Once learn, somebody will still forget, so what's the point of having so many sessions of sectionals? For shermaine, yes she will remember, but what about others? Why can't you all think of something creatives other than sectionals huh? pleeease. don't always listen to the ex-members! Don't be such a wimp! WE MAY NOT LIKE WHAT THE SENIORS DO. We are of different age, so maybe we got different perspectives!!

The learning journey was quite all right. The tour guide explained to us the various things in the theatre and concert hall. I like the concert hall as i think it's grand. The facilities and architecture inside were really fantastic.It was elegantly-designed with a capacity that can accommodate more than 1000 people! It's really a big sum.It features world-class acoustics designed by one of the world's most renowed acousticians, Russell Johnson. The orchestra platform can accommodate 120 musicians. Above the platform, there is a moving canopy that weighed tons. Yeah, i like that. That, i think is the grandest! I remembered the guide said that the canopy served as a sound reflector. The concert hall had had a reverberation chamber too..Forgot wad it does, but i know it was hidden behind ribs that frame the concert hall. Hee.. The pipe organ have extremely lotsa! hee..By the way, when it is very quite in the concert hall, my ears really cannot take it.It's quiet till it hurts! Cheryl feels that too. If she never said, i will think i'm a freak!hee..
The theatre has a horse shoe shape. I did not realize it till the guide told us. It was even larger than the concert hall as it have approximately 2000 seats! The theatre was spread out over 4 levels..Amazing isn't it! As well as an adjustable orchestra pit that can hold up to 100 musicians. Hee...
After the learning journey, the shuttle bus picked us up at harbour front. We reach school at about six. After that, the rest was dread.. I'm not having fun at all. The first thing is, when we are in class, the cca council came and ask us to do cheer. They suggested something, but one of my classmates think it was not related to 3S1.So i think they not really happy about that. So they ask us to think of a cheer, but no one bothers anyway. The council never relly show us a cheer, how they expect us to do. They was so pissed off, till they went to complain to a teacher. The teacher gave us a lecture about cooperation and all sorts. Haiz..My class was the unlucky one.We ended up with no cheer.
The night games were quite lame. I prefer the standing on the chair bonding game. Hee..I ended the day off at 1 am. We are beat. I fell asleep unconsciously and woke up at about 5.50am.Haiz, i'm so tired...
We never do any games during sports carnival.Just sitting down, chatting with one another.
Overrall, i think the camp is a failure, it face a serious problem. Not only the council, we students but the financial system in our school also needed 'medical attention'. Haiz, so bored. No one's was perfect really..

Erm, i did not update for a few weeks le..I'm actually quite busy these few days with all those homework. Now i am starting to confuse myself between A maths and E maths! Failed chem test, today physics test am going to fail too..Haiz, i'm such a gone case!!
Tomorrow still have class bonding camp. I think it was a stupid idea, whoever thought of this crap deserved a trip to the moon. It was out of the blue! Maybe if they did not ask us to pay for 13 bucks, i will not complained. I wondered where they spent our money on. Is it on the food? Or on the school itself..Who knows? It's 10.22 pm now and i have not finish my math..Lazy to start on the next question.Im tired and tired! I haven't complete my CAP yet..Haiz..Life as a student was tough!

We are doing recording and a photo album for our end product. We went chinatown twice to took photographs and interview the people there during the holidays.
It was tough doing the interviewing.No one wanted their voice to be recorded down.But after a long day, we managed to find 3 kind soul who were willing to tell us about their views on Chinatown. It was hardwork doing these on a hot and stuffy day. But still, we managed to complete it. Sadly, we must cut down the recordings to three from the expected six. Because of that, we decided to do a photo album. Since we had took alot of picture, it is quite an easy task for us to do. But in the middle of doing the photo album, i was absent from the group meeting as i went back to Indonesia. During the time i was in Indonesia, my group member had a few meetings with me via MSN. They had ask for my views and consent about certain things. After i came back, the rest of the group member had already to develop the photographs and arranged it on constructions paper. So all i have to do was type out the captions, print it out, cut and pasted it. I had also did the front cover and went to have our photo album bined. Actually, to tell the truth, i had done the most work even though i had been absent for 1 month during holidays. But in the end, when we ask Mrs Bala what we must improved in, she told us to changed the words of the front cover. With this last minute changed, we felt stress out. But thanks to the internet and Jing yu's help changing the lettering. We met alot of difficulty when doing this project. My group member were not that responsible all the time.Some never did any work and some were not concentrating when we have group meeting. But we managed to solved it and talk it out.
I have learnt alot doing this project. Now i know more about the chinatown history, how the people lived in the past. Their living condition, their problems faced. I also know the history of streets and some temple and what impression do Chinatown give.The most important thing is, i learnt to cherish what i have now.
Seriously, i was not really satisfied with our end product. It was not the best that we can do. Seeing others with their beautifully and perfectly done project, i started to worry about what grade we will get. It was not easy to do something without cooperation and lacked of communication, irresponsible and lazy. I'm not being mean or a hypocrite, i was just wanted to state the fact that my group was not good at any of it.

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! --- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime ---
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,---
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
-- Wilfred Owen
A poem we learnt in literature. It's a war poem. Wilfred Owen was a war poet. He went to war at a young age and suffered. He even suffered a mental breakdown and was being sent into a institution till he recovered. When he was stable, he wrote poem about the suffering,ugly side of man going to war.He wanted to let those who thinks going to war is heroic sees the truth. He express alot of emotion in his poem.
