(bitter)Sweet holiday

Writing from jakarta, here is your class foreign correspondence HAHA.

Uhh. nothing I can really say but well, just to remind you that I'll be back on the twelfth night :P of June. Hence, I expect you all to crowd the airport to welcome me back in Singapore (that is, if you're still in town teehee)

oh nvm. this delegate of indonesia is just err, not really bored, but reminding you to study hard for blocks and to indicate your availability (I think I've overused this phrase) about GEM. Refer to the post before this okay?

Uhh I sincerely hope that everyone has replied by Friday, coz I want to call the billiard guy on saturday, okay? hehe, and um... I think...

yeah. that's all for now.

See you all when the school reopens. luvya!

PS: while it's school (supposed) vacation, GO SPAM THIS BLOG. I will love you for it.

GEMdecided

Decision has been made, just that I have to rearrange with the billiard guy.

Yeah, pool wins. It's only a simple majority but, still it's a majority.
For those who have voted, thank you very much and maybe we can have the ice-cream course for like, a class outing? umm. dunno, just PROBABLY (underline that!)

The date I will set on the 4th of July, US independence day, and one of our classmates' birthday, LiLin. Time will be 1-5PM (approximately)Okay, here's the deal. Some people pinpointed 4 July as their preferred date, although some DID mentioned they couldn't make it on the 4th. And some people just didnt indicate any preferred date so, I assume that they CAN make it on the 4th.

QUICKLY SMS me before SUNDAY to tell me whether you can make it or not.
IF 8 people are unable to make it, we will find another date to do this.

3 is definitely out of question because there are still 2 papers, H1 Chinese in the morning and Chinese History in the afternoon.

Should you be confused and errr-not-sure-now, send me an email or sth like that or drop a comment at the tag board, because I'll be overseas from 7-12 June.

PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I BEG YOU ALL NOT TO DAO ME THIS TIME OR I'LL SERIOUSLY IMPOSE A FINE ON YOU OR DRAG YOU TO SOME PSYCHOLOGIST OR OPTOMETRIST.
sorry but sometimes it's really very annoying to get some response back.

PS: Renjie, I know you're confirmed cannot make it on the 4th and 5th, but then, you've signed up for the pool sabbats right? I hope you don't mind (:

I seriously want to send the proposal to Mrs Tan ASAP because I, as you all do, want to MUG for blocks. Thanks, 6E.

PPS: Details of activity (if this indecent proposal is passed)
Activity: Pool
Venue: Bukit Timah Plaza which is like, 9 bus stops away from JC bus stop
Date: 4 July 2009
Time: 1-5 PM

Memories of 09S6E from the 2 terms

Having spent almost half a year together as 09S6E, let us review some of the important moments on the last day of school before the june holidays start!

1) The last day with Mdm Lau, our chem teacher for two terms.

Mdm Lau teaching in action.

Famous words: "Accelerate!" and "The equation to success".

Thank you, Mdm Lau, for being such a dedicated teacher to the rowdy bunch of us. Thank you for all that you have done for us, even though it was a short period of time! We will definitely miss you!

2) Memorable moments!

Puffer-fish Jia Yu! (Taken at the arts symposium :D)

Class bench galore!

Greenworks '09!

Rock on, 09S6E!

Love, xinyun.

Urgent matter: on GEM

OMG Daren!! You're more than a bimbo, definitely.

But, that's not what I'm going to say in this entry.
You better be quick in REPLYING to and SPREADING the news this time.

Okay, a contact person from Ben and Jerry (yes, that Ben and Jerry ice cream shop) replied my email, in which she said that there's a WAFFLE MAKING SESSION for $20/pax.
I know that for pools/cue sports, we don't have to add a significant amount of money... however, isn't this what you all wanna do originally? Something related to icecream??

Hmm well, since I'm too efficient to summarise and rewrite everything that the contact person wrote in her email, I'll just copy it down here.

1. Waffle Cone Making Session: @ $20 per pax

- Scoop your own ice-cream
- Make your own waffle cone
- Topped it off with your favourite sprinkles
- Mini Brownies
- Mini Cookies
- Free flow of drinks


2. Ice-cream Burger Class: @ $30 per pax

- Scoop your own ice-cream
- Roll and bake your own cookies
- Decorate your cookies
- Mini Brownies
- Mini Cookies
- Free flow of drinks

With this, you may use the lounge at our Ben & Jerry's Cathay which come for our projector to organise your very own team bonding games or activities.

Isn't it interesting, guys? Okay okay, I'm not trying to tempt you or what, but well yeah. I love Ben and Jerry. and looking at the overwhelming response from some of our classmates regarding the Ben and Jerry ice-cream making sabbatical, I believe that most of you LOVEEEEEE it too.

So. please consider this option and the cue sport. And tell me the date on which you are available. And pass the message around!! I will hate you if you dao me and this super cool offer on doing Ben and Jerry. Drop me an email, tag, facebook comment, sms, call, write to me, anything you think is convenient to TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT FOR GEM.

No word limit so don't worry.

Thanks, 6E.

End of Term 2

Hello. Today's a good (refers to picture below) day :) I felt the craving to write something "meaningful" here, and let Pau take a break from writing on this blog (although I know she wouldn't want to stop). So here goes...

Well, we went through a lot as a class - good and bad. From Mr Rem's farewell and Athena's Greenworks to POP and STJ. We tend to bypass these seemingly insignificant events and continue slogging our guts out (or maybe not) so as to cope with our busy lives...

But wait.

What's the point of going through these events without thinking of their significance? Today marked the end of term 2 and also the end of Mdm Lau's lessons. I believe that she's an outstanding teacher, who has been working equally hard, or even harder than us, so as to achieve her goals: make us interested in Chemistry. Whether her goals were achieved, is up to us to decide. We will miss Mdm Lau, won't we?

But wait.

Take a step back and view all these in a different perspective. We have actually less than two terms left before the year comes to a close. What do we want to achieve? What do we aim for after one gruelling year? Personally, I would want to know more of everyone in 6E. I would want to learn more about myself throughout this year - how I learn the best, what's my optimum working style, and how I can improve as a person.

But wait.

Bring our busy life to a hiatus.

Think. Reflect. Ponder.

What should we achieve as a class?

the vulture

Vulture culture. It's entire body is beautiful, as well as riveting. It represents a culture onto its own, doling out the wisdom of the world. The vulture is a magnificent beast, even though it may look pretty and gay here. It has piercing eyes ready to entice you. An ever ready smile that promises infinite intelligence that almost transcends The Smirk. Its caw is the most emotion-inducing sound that you'll ever care to hear. Many think that it is a shrill, ear-splitting sound, but perhaps it is gentle, wisdom advice, to look under the covers and find the humpty dumpty. It's eyes, however, are round and piercing, and embody truth, sensitivity, as well as knowledge.

I vote this to be our class bird as well!

GEM

Okay. Here we go.

Majority of us don't want to do ice-cream making course that costs like, so hiighh that our $10 is like, meaningless, right?

So (crack my knuckles). I've called Tanglin CC, asking them about the availability of ice-cream making course (your preference), and the nice receptionist at the other end of the phone pointed that there are TWO options available for us:

1. PASIR RIS CC

2. MARINE PARADE CC


Date: 1st June 2009
since OCIP Cambodia and Faccomm camp is cancelled, I believe that now we all are free to go on that day?

The cost: yeah FIFTEEN BUCKS $15

Good deal, huh? THIRTYSIX is burning our pockets. many objections have come, yeahh.
Thank you for those who have replied to me. (:

Okay, so. I think, it would be unfair that I cross out COOKING or BAKING just because Zijing thought it's sissy. Well, I've inquired the nice lady too, where can we find COOKING/BAKING course, coz the majority of us agreed on that previously. Well, the nice lady tells me...

There's this reputable, famous cooking course in Cairnhill CC (which is just like, 3km down the road or sth like that haha! It's near Newton FC) I haven't checked the dates whatsoever, but the price should be around 15 to 20. yeahh.

However, the drawback of the course is that we can't cook ourselves, we will only watch a DEMO, but yeah, we got to bring home some of the cooked food. Well, hmm... from my point of view, right, this is a tad too boring, even though we've got to bring home some delicacies but err... I'm not sure that I can bear just sit back and relax while the aroma of the cooking stuffed my nose and I have paid for the course oh well yeahh... you understand right?

-----

Another alternative will be going to ECP to cycle or rollerblade (sadly, I admit that I cannot cycle. Just like I don't speak Chinese--even worse) I know that S7J is also cycling, and the price is just nice, $10. I think right, even if you don't ride the bike, we can make this a memorable trip where we can learn more about YOUR classmates (yess, my classmates too!) and therefore strengthening the covalent bonds... oh wait.

I'm too preoccupied by the upcoming CHEM TEST ON THURSDAY ON ENERGETICS. haha. lame.

But well yeah. For me, GEM to ECP and learning how to ride a bike will surely be memorable, because it serves as our class outing too (: how'd you all like it?

The date is possibly the 1st June, or the date that we have set previously, right after the blocks. Or, on the Saturday after blocks. Let's vote.

Oh and I heard from other classes, they are doing billiard, $252 for the whole class, so we'll just have to pay $2 extra from the class fund. I know that my ideas are a bit too dull and not original... but then...

You have rejected Performing Arts (with the exception of some parties who want to dance :])
(uh yes, no more drama)but then... realistically speaking, it's a bit difficult to find a one-day dance course that is below $30. seriously.

As mentioned by someone, "money comes first for GEM, because in this case, we'll learn the most important thing anyway... being more bonded as a class" (:

So I hope that you all will drop me an SMS (I expect my inbox to be flooded by 1040PM tonight hahas) after you read this and tell me what you think.

Thanks 6E! Oh and btw, I'm considering to make a class relay system. (:

Loveeeeee (6E!)

PS: please go faster to the Math lecture so that we can discuss more about this thing okaayy!! <3

a week before holiday.

As promised, I will update our class blog regularly... hahas. and sometimes i can also post something important in the middle of the week, yeah, if there's any (:

Monday//Chemistry.

Please be reminded that Monday's chem tutorial is replaced by PHYSICS. So, Lilin and Zhou Yang, come to A310 at 12pm for Physics. I won't send out any more reminders, okay.

And don't forget to attempt the CHEM online test by Sunday 1159pm.

Physics online test also. Aiyah, I'm wondering whether we'll still have to do those online tests in the holidays ): hope not.


---
Then what else... hmm... oh for GPP, well, I just checked my SMB and there's this GPP form to be downloaded, one per group. It's to be filled in and submitted on Monday also.

ELLfs, Miss Yangs assignment's due this monday, coz she wants to return it on tuesday.

I know that CLL ppl have a test on Wednesday, hahas. So study hard,
and so do the Geoggers, I heard your test was postponed last week? >.<

For Wenjing and I, Spanish class on Monday will begin at 330, because we're running out of time. haha. We've got homework, right? And also we'll have a class this Wednesday, I forget the timing though.
---

This week is our last week before the holiday yaay!
(Um, actually I'm not very sure whether we should cheer or shed a tear, as the June holiday, I believe it's terrible for most of us, having committed ourselves to thousands of things alr that we are constantly occupied and yeah, cannot get enough rest. hahas.)

Well, yeah. Try to do your GPP/WR/rprimary research for PW, as well as Physics misconception thingy. Sigh... and of course, study for the block test ):
I guess I just failed terribly in my attempt to be a mugger. ):):):):):):

Math Holiday Homework Package (euh, sounds like a nightmare) can be collected from the Photocopy shop this Friday. Math rep! Don't forget okay? (:
---

Oh and we'll have JTS on Saturday, right? Liseah, where are we going? (:
I hope that we all will come in full force, although I know that some of us are not so so close to our seniors, but then, think of this as THE CHANCE to get to know them better, okay? Furthermore, it's also an avenue for us to bond as a class (and for you to see me :D HAA!)
So, I hope that we all are looking forward to it :D:D

Well, since JTS is coming... I know that you all are like, saving up for somethings, but then... I suppose our class fund needs top-up? :D

So I guess that's all for this week's update.
Please drop a comment/randomness on the tagboard, let me know that you've read this.

PS: Mrs Tan said that we'll have class comm election next term, or whenever we've got a permanent Civics Tutor. So, for the time being, we're running the ad-interim committe, okay?
Oh except for Wang Xiao, I suggest that she'll be forever our Chem rep. She deals very nicely with Mdm Lao, and her Chem is undisputably the best.

PPS: But oh, umm... I'm honestly concerned that IFFFF during lectures then the lecturer asks "where's the Chem rep of 6E? can you answer this question?" then I'm sian lar. coz then the lecturer will move on to the ct rep mah. unless by any luck(cross my fingerss!) he/she will go bug the councillor or math rep or sec-tres or sth like that HAHAHAHA.

PPPS: which remind me that THIS WEEK IS MADAM LAU's LAST WEEK WITH US. what surprise do you want to give her?

MRU : (most recent update) 17may

yo yo again.

just thinking, it would be great if we devise a RELAY SYSTEM.
yeahh?

just wondering whether we'll have a change in the class comm positions, as in, the subject reps and all that? hehe.

and actually right, the main main main reason why I keep posting with my account is because I forget the class sign in id and password. hehe.hehe.

*Don't give me thaat look*

Good night everyone. ^^

and oh yeah, PHYSICS mythbusters' FIRST PROPOSAL is due in week 9, which is like, this week. (Groupiee 5! We haven't discussed on anything >.<>
