time to post! so this week has been okay so far. had chinese orals! on monday. not too bad. assembled in 401 at 2.15. waited till like 3.40 or so before it was 2c's turn to have the chinese orals. read chinese passages till like 2.45? 2.45 to 3 did a bit of math homework. 3-3.30 or so sat with anjila, jiayi and meiyi. talked! and maybe it was a bit loud... but if waws fun talking to them. about POT and Fuji Syuusuke(only those who read or watch Prince of tennis will understand! :)) finally was my turn for orals. read the passage. had 5 minutes. then was asked to go to teacher number 5. walked and walked... was praying i would get a good teacher.... walked... passed ms foo. she asked if i had finished. i said no.. then she was like where are you going? i said that i was asked to go to teacher number 5! and it was band 1's teacher. lin lao shi i think... was not too bad. the passage was bad though. cos i skipped and skipped and pronounced words wrongly. hope i passed that. the conversation was great! but at first she said the conversation topic.my expression:huh? then she explained. i heard a 'ming pai huo(branded goods)' somewhere and then was asked how i felt about it. so i just tried and guessed and it was okay in the end!
today
nothing much. PE was gym.... had to do routine! not going too great. ve, we spent the time doing a reflection. for patron's day. i don't like reflections. they are so long! its like one 4 mark question, one 6 mark question and one 15 mark question!!! any way, the rest of the day was just lessons. that's all!
tmr is home based learning, no school!

reached the place. saw madeleine. and miss chia. and mrs yeun. got our seats. supposed to sit with abergale, aiylisha and abigail. then we went into the place. and we were the last row. it was ??? cassendra, ovidia, abergale, aiylisha, me, abigail at first. then mr francis changed two of them and christina came down. so it became ??? cassendra, ovidia, me, abigail, christina, (an empty seat) then mr francis and someone else. and sitting with abigail and christina is sooo fun! we talked and laughed and had fun during the first half of the concert. and it lasted till 9 plus. the first half. and saw a few kellock teachers. said hi to them. yay! and i brought sweets to the concert. and since christina was nearest to mr francis, he kept asking her to give him the sweets! looked forward to the kellock gym performance! it was great! and so was their violin performance.
we had a short break of 20 minutes. talked to mrs chia! went back inside. lixian came to join us. so it was mr francis, christina, lixian, abigail and me! then had more sweets. and christina and abigail asked me how many packets i got. cos they counted at least 6 already. and i did take out at least 6! sat though the rest of the performances. couldn't wait to see the angklung one. cos its stc! and finally they performed! it was nice!!! by that time, it was 10 plus already. by the time the concert ended, it was already 11 plus. yima sent me home. and i am now on the comp. its 1.50 already!!!!

well, time to post!
let's start with monday. it was a holiday. but woke up at 6 any way. got ready and aunt(yiyi) came to fetch mum and i to harbour macs for breakfast. met cousin too! went to eat breakfast at macs. ate hotcakes. then waited for yiyi's collegues to come. went with mum and cousin to cheers to buy sweets. bought a lot of sweetes. worth $15. so can imagine how much that is. then went to yiyi's car and we set off to sentosa!
drove in. parked at the imbieh(can't spell it) place. then yiyi went to take the trail ride while mum, cousin and i looked for the beach. went to the sky tower thing... saw it... then asked how to go to the beach. they said take the train. so we went down like 3-4 ascalators. saw the merlion. but didn't really go inside. just took pics from the outside. the beach station was only one station away. so the ride was short. but it was free!
went to siloso beach. was very quiet cos it was early. so my cousin and i just picked out a place to dig( understand why late) and had peace! well, why dig? you know most people will go to the sand to build sandcastles, well, my couisn and i never really brought spades or buckets to beaches. so we do a trench or a 'water hole' instead. and yes, we dig up the sand and put a barrier round it. well, it works at first. cos only some water will come into the 'hole' and it works! then some boat or something will pass by. and the waves get higher, and there goes the whole thing!!! then we redo it, and again the waves come in. we move further up, then give up altogether. at one point, i wanted to find my mum. i jumped up and down trying to see whether she is in this shelter thing. but she is not there! and our bags were gone too. but i decided not to bother. and then after a while, we were playing in the water. then cousin said' hey i think i see your mum'. then i turned and said where, where, where(each 'where' i turned one side). then finally saw her and we just started laughing like mad!
then mum said come back so we went to wash our feet and hands and put on our shoes(i brought slippers) walked around the area then settled down at a restuarant to have a drink and cousin got an omelet(it was still around 10 plus!). then went back to the imbieh station to meet yiyi. went home with cousin. bathed an used the comp for a while before she had to go off. went to the bed and just slept till kind of late! went out for dinner.

posting again. this month i seem to be posting more. unusual. but maybe cos there was a week of hols. any way, today had fun! morning went for math tuition. got help from tuition teacher for math homework(the test paper is so hard! any one agrees with me?) got some of the answers. wanted to try the rest by myself.
went home, had egg, potato and bread for lunch. was quite good! then had chinese tuition. had a passage.. then some excercises..... then its finally over!
went out to bukit merah's NTUC to buy some stuff. went to eat some stuff at the nearby hawker centre cos parent's were feeling hungry. then went home, bathed, got ready to go to shareen's house.
arrived at shareen's house at 5.30. went to her room. we talked and she used the computor. then waited for the rest to arrive. ate the homemade stuff that she had. isabella and yi ning(i think that's her name-not too sure, correct me if i'm wrong) came first. then corrine. so we just said hi, talked, then got some food. ate in shareen's room and we talked and laughed. went to see shareen's pets. everyone didn't see the cat at first. it was so cute!!! went to pet and touch it! super cute! i think its a persian. she also has two african greys(its a type of parrot if you don't know). well, went back to her room. then ana came. talked again, had fun. but i was the only theresian there:( was asked how stc is. won't write here what i told them. nothing much happened. isabelle and YN went back first. then my parents came. they went to eat. the rest of us were in the room. took pics and exchanged numbers. waited for parents to finish eating and auntie to pack the food then we left.

today started off late.... slept at 3 last night and woke at 9 plus.... a bit late..... any way, spent the rest of the morning and until 3.30 in the afternoon trying to finish my math paper. stilll cannot finish. will ask for help from tuition tmr. or maybe check with friends... if i see them online or something. its so hard! did watch a bit of the mtv music awards just now on mtv. was nice!
then did history right after math till 4 plus. rested a while, went to grandma's house. both aunts, one uncle, dad and mum was there. with grandma off course. and lastly my paternal late grandmother's good friend. she's above 80 already but my maternal grandma and her wanted to meet up. so they finally did. but my late grandma's friend speaks cantonese(can't spell it) and i can't speak and can only understand a bit of it... so had to translate. we talked and had dinner. haven't seen her for a long time already. the last time i saw her was maybe last year's chinese new year? so any way, good to see her.
after dinner, went to grandma's living room to watch tv. then sent late grandma's friend(my dad, mum, dad's siblings, father's side cousin and i all call her di di-or auntie) home. she lives so far from us. miss her. wish i could see her again.
sometimes, life just pass too fast. it seems so long ago but yet so recent that my paternal grandparents left us. can still remember their faces clearly. and i hope i will always remember them. my only regret is not being able to speak directly to them as i did not learn even a word of cantonese in time. seeing 'di di' so old now, it reminds me that life can be short, and we have limited amount of time here on earth to treasure the people around us. sometimes, they leave too soon. saying goodbye is never easy.
okay, i think i have put too much emotion here already. so i will stop here.

any way, had recess and did not want to change. had phy. had test. and the test was tough(well, maybe cos i didn't study) and there was not enough time to finish it. any way, decided to change to ij blue. ming's idea. wore netball jersey inside. went for history. was okay... have another project. skit! perform on tuesday. went down to greenlodge for music. didn't start music. left for tsl pic before miss wong came. we met her on the way and told her. then went to the audi for the pic. was super early. sat outside again and just talked. finally miss quek came and we went inside. was on the top row. probably because i was in ij blue. everyone in ij blue was in the top row. this year very little people were there. compared to last year. no idea why. so few of us. then rushed down to the foyer for netball pic. changed out of ijblue. the exco sat on the front row. then the sec3s and sec4s. then third and fourth row is sec2s and sec1s. was at the side!!! and top row! yay!!!

today had carnival.... hey b div! we did improve after each game, don't be sad! good job everyone!!!
woke up at 6 and prepared to go for the carnival. dad was supposed to drive me to boonlay mrt but the i got a call from zhixin just as i was going to leave the house. met zhixin, francesca and florence at tiong macs instead. then waited for kaiwei. went down to take the train but in the end took sinwei's car. and yes, 6 of us were in the back seat of sinwei's car.
reached NIE at the same time as the group that went were at boonlay. so we were all there, by 8. super early. just sat down for a while then went to shoot with abi, zhixin and yunhe. after that started warm-up. played half-court. then played our first game against marsiling. was supposed to win cos it was a supposidly not so good school.(no offense) played for the first half. as a GA. but in the end, we drew with them 7-7. a bit disappointing. then had a break and had a team talk outside. we played TKGS next. lost to them cos of one thing-passes. any way, the score was not too far off... 7-3. had a game's break then played against nanhua. this time we had a much further margin. 11-5. but we got 5 goals!
had a long break after that. cos the next game was still like 5-6 games away..... i mean like there were 5-6 more games before it was out turn to play again. so went to the toilet, went to refill bottle, then came back and sat down to watch the games. but soon got bored.... talked a bit to florence and abigail. then talked to coach. went to warm up a bit outside the indoor sports hall. the ball fell out once(at least we weren't at the swimming pool area!) someone from damai came to help us pick up the ball. threw it up then could not catch it so it went down again. then she threw it up again. and it happened for like 3 times before finally caught the ball. then we went in again.
went in and played with damai. we lost to them too. the score was ??? i think it was 12-6.... i am not too sure.... then we had a game's rest and played against SCGS. this game i really can't remember the score too. but we lost to them. then had two game's rest before playing our last match against bukit batok. didn't play for the first half. then second half mrs mok put in like different people for different positions. she jumbled up a bit. played as GS. was the only time i played GS. all the other matches i was GA :) and guess what? we won our last match! 4-2. was happy!
talked to mrs mok, then went down to the hocky pitch for our warm down. ran like 2 laps across the hockey pitch. it is so big! after that could go home already.
today's matches were not really that tiring.... didn't feel tired at all. unusual even for carnivals. maybe cos it is in a air-con sheltered place. any way, got a taste of how netball is in the b div. standard is different from c div. and played GA!!! well, its just a carnival..... hopefully can improve by south zone. GO B DIV!

this post is for you..... this is to commemorate this day...
its already friday! our september holidays is going to be over soon. two more days. but this holidays is sooo busy! like always, the one week holidays are always busy..... even in june it was busy. i think i really need to take time off for the december hols. just to relax at home(and i don't count being at home cos i am sick as relaxing!)
guess why i am saying that? cos wednesday night i could no sleep at all..... was not feeling well. so i just turned round and round in bed. then on thrusday morning, had a real fever. 38.5..... i don't like being sick! but because i was sick, the whole day i just stayed at home.... no apetite!!!! it was boring at home. very boring. finally managed to sleep from 1 to 6. then woke up and felt better. temperature went down to 36.6? went down alot! and at night was trying to beg my mum to let me come for training. she was like 'NO!' then asked dad, he said 'NO!' but i just begged and begged( and got help from some people who were online) and in the end could go for training.
well, today was really eventful.
went for training in the morning. mum kept asking, 'you sure are alright? you sure you want to go for training???' but in the end, went any way. didn't feel too good but at least lasted through training. just remembered that i forgot to do a new thing that coach asked me to do. ops! but today's training i was super tired even though it was not that tough.....:(
went home. then mum was like 'how was training?' i said it was great. thankfully by the time i got home i didn't feel tired any more. and then i asked if can go out with zhiting to see my ex tennis coach.... coach raymond(people from kellock should know him). she didn't want me to go again but in the end i still could go:) ate, bathed then left the house.
met zhiting at tiong's mrt just before 2. took mrt then changed to another mrt before reaching yio chu kang. took like 45min of mrt!!! walked a bit from the mrt to the tennis courts and the shop. saw coach!!!!!!!! haven't seen him since P5 i think, that's when i quit tennis cos of netball. then zhiting bought a drink and we sat down and waited and did some homework.... well, in the end we didn't really do some homework... only she brought and the homework done was quite little. cos we just kept talking to coach, when he was free. at about 4, was supposed to leave already but stayed a while to see some coaching.... then went back at about 4.30. reached home and relaxed!
but now doing work.... i am done with my history write up and music. actually, its not really a good job but i can't be bothered with it any more. the cd is still half done. i just need the back cover! and its done! i am still undecided about whether to decorate the cd itself or not.... hmmm, any one knows if there is d and t homework? that's all the homework there is right?

today
woke up a bit late. saw that grandma was awake already but mum was still sleeping. went back to sleep again. woke up when mum's phone rang. went out to the dining area for breakfast. ate then got ready to go out.
uncle and laogu went to work while aunt, grandma, mum and i went to the market again to buy last minute stuff. grandma bought some food. we walked round and went to the dry market part. grandma bought some clothes. then we went for lunch. ate at a mushroom hotpot place.... i don't know why we ate hotpot again. guess my family likes it.
lunch was fun! but it was mostly veggi :( took a few pics. finished the food and went to the airport with aunt. the ride to the airport was fast. we got to the airport around 1 and the flight was at 2.20 so we had lots of time. said goodbye to aunt outside the airport. we went to check in our bags. exceded by about 15 kg. wee had 55kg worth of luggage! 3 people! so had to pay a bit. then went to the waiting room. grandma sat down and mum and i walked around a bit. met ms foo! we went back to the waiting room. mum and grandma went to the toilet. waited till they came out to board the plane. it was okay.... ms foo took the same plane as us. but she sat much further back.
the plane ride was uneventful. was tired so i just slept almost the whole way through. woke up a few times and throat felt a bit dry but if want water, its a must to buy so i didn't get. waited for the plane to land. once the plane landed, we walked to the airport itself. slowly cos grandma had problems walking. then slowly walked to the immiration counter. we had singapore passports and we breezed through immigration. went with grandma outside first and saw dad. then mum came out and we all got into the car.
went to ABC market to eat dinner. ate fish and chips! then fetched grandma home and went home ourselves. that's the end of our holiday! finally! i got running nose during the weekend and now my head feels like spinning! but i'm online! cos i don't want to sleep! pics will be tmr! i want some free time now!

i'll post about yesturday first
well, woke up a bit late.... ate kueh lapis for breakfast! loved it! after that we gotr changed and aunt, grandma, dad, mum and i went to the market. we took the car... i should mention it here. the traffic in vietnam is super chaotic. there are more motorbikes then cars and the streets are super crowded. its amazing how the drivers can drive!!! we reached the market... only walked a bit through the dry market. grandma and aunt bought a lot of things. we went to the wet market side and they were selling real life lobsters, fish, crabs and shellfish..... wow. any way, aunt bought a lot of things. i just looked round at the stalls. never thought of buying anything.
went to the car again and went for lunch. we ate at a restuarant above the parkson shopping centre. it was a great lunch. like a buffet but it was more of chinese food. then dad had to leave for the airport around 12.30 as he was going back first. actually, we ordered porridge and dad was supposed to have his share but he had to leave so we got his share! it was sooo filling! finally, lao gu said we had enough. took a video of the fish tank for the music project.
we went back to the house. rested for a while then went to the mall cos aunt and mum wanted to buy me clothes. they weren't very successful(as usual). i finally got a dress... that's all. and i kept trying stuff on. but didn't want to buy. we spent 2 hours on the first floor and just half and hour on the second. didn't even reach the 3rd floor. we went back to the apartment and just relaxed till we had to leave for dinner. we went to this place for japanese hotpot... it was nice! while we waited for the food to come, we went to the next shop to buy DVDs! it was cheap and we bought a lot. went for dinner. the food was great! it was jap food but a different kind from in singapore. and its the hotpot kind.
we went to the night market again after dinner. its grandma, aunt, mum and me. i bought some stuff... walked round. aunt tried to get me to buy more clothes. i didn't want to. any way, went back to the apartment soon after. bathed and blowed dry my hair. it seems like i blowed dry my hair all the nights i was here. hope it did not disturb the rest as it was already 11 plus, almost 12. my grandma slept with mum and i cos my dad went home already. turned on the tv and watched CSI new york for 10 min then fell asleep in front of the tv.

we went back to the house. rested for a while then went to the mall cos aunt and mum wanted to buy me clothes. they weren't very successful(as usual). i finally got a dress... that's all. and i kept trying stuff on. but didn't want to buy. we spent 2 hours on the first floor and just half and hour on the second. didn't even reach the 3rd floor. we went back to the apartment and just relaxed till we had to leave for dinner. we went to this place for japanese hotpot... it was nice! while we waited for the food to come, we went to the next shop to buy DVDs! it was cheap and we bought a lot. went for dinner. the food was great! it was jap food but a different kind from in singapore. and its the hotpot kind.
we went to the night market again after dinner. its grandma, aunt, mum and me. i bought some stuff... walked round. aunt tried to get me to buy more clothes. i didn't want to. any way, went back to the apartment soon after. bathed and blowed dry my hair. it seems like i blowed dry my hair all the nights i was here. hope it did not disturb the rest as it was already 11 plus, almost 12. my grandma slept with mum and i cos my dad went home already. turned on the tv and watched CSI new york for 10 min then fell asleep in front of the tv.

2nd day in vietnam!
woke up early today. 6.30? around there. got changed and left the house around 7 plus. went for breakfast. it is so filling! it was like a kind of noodles. with fish and alll. i forgot the name for it. went with parents and lao gu. the rest were still in the apartment. we sat there till about 8 then went to a shop to wait for the bus to pick my parents and i up.
we took the bus with 42 other people, making it 45 people in total plus a tour guide. it was a 2 hour long journey... we were going to the mekong delta(or mekong river). the bus ride was just boring. slept on the bus as i slept late last night and was tired. the tour guide talked a bit about the programme. but it was hard to understand his English. the group of us came from a lot of different countries. there was another group of singaporeans, a group of taiwanese, people from finland, france, germany and also japanese. so it was a mixture!
we finally reached the mekong delta. sat on this boat on the mekong delta. first we went up and down a part of the mekong delta. then we stopped at one of the 4 islands there. the other 3 islands are not for visitors to visit i think.
our first stop was the rice paper making place. they used rice mixed with water and grind it with a type of stone thing. it becomes a liquid. then they spread it out on a 'boiler' for about 45 seconds to a minute. they take it out and dry it under the hot sun. and that makes the rice paper! (its edible- actually, its for people to eat) the tour guide explained it to use then we had free time to try the rice paper and buy it if we wanted. my parents and i didn't buy it.
the next stop was to see the coconut shells being made into different items like spoons, forks etc. it was nice to see it. we could also buy the stuff there but we didn't. then at the same place, we had lunch. 4 dogs joined us, going from table to table. 2 black, 2 brown and 2 male, 2 female. our lunch was rice, something that looked like bbq pork and some fried popiah.... tasted great! although it was a simple meal. then we had free time to walk around the area. i walked and slipped on mud! was careless. (note: it was raining before and during the time we were there so the mud was very wet). we then made our way back to the boat.
we went to another part of the island. while we were on the boat, the engine died halfway and we had to wait for another boat and transfered to the other boat. we drove through a smaller so called stream where there were a lot of mangrove plants and trees. we reached our destination.... we walked inland and came to this place where they served us free fruit. the types of fruit that were found on the island. there was also a performance for us. they sang and played songs..... songs that were native to the mekong islands. the ancesters made these songs and sung them after their day of hard farming in the olden days. we were asked to give them tips. then had time to look around at the souvenirs but we didn't buy any.
walked out of the place and sat a horse cart. the horse was kind of small. but it could pull a cart with its driver and 6 other people. there were 6 of us in each cart. the ride was fun! but the horse had blinkers on... it was kind of sad. any way, we soon reached our destination.
it is a bee farm. we had a taste of bee honey(obviously its bee honey!) and we could actually see the bee hives. i didn't touch the bee hives but we could. and there were bees flying around. well, they are honey bees so i think they can be harmless to us... i don't know if they can still sting us... i think they can't. any way, the honey tasted nice. there was also a cage with two snakes in it. long snakes!
we countinued walking. we came to another part of the mekong river. it was shallower and narrower. we took a rowing boat! it was 4 to a rowing boat with the owner of the boat. but my parents and i sat with the two people folllowing the tour guides. it was so fun on the rowing boat! my dad rowed with the owner of the boat and we overtook the boat in front of us. we passed many mangrove trees and all again! it was mostly trees that we saw. then we reached the mouth of the small river where our bigger boat was waiting for us.
we sat on the boat and travelled to another part of the island. this time it was to see coconut sweets being made. it is different from the chinese new year type of coconut sweets. its softer and more chewable. it is also a little sweeter. we had time to buy the sweets. but i bought some other stuff instead. they sold hand made items which was quite nice!
we took the boat back to where we started off. then took the same bus back to the shop! it was another 2 hour(well, more cos of the traffic jam) journey. read a bit on the bus then slept again. finally reached the shop. got off the boat and tried to call auntie but the call could not get through. finally it did and the driver came to pick us up.
we went back to the apartment and bathed and changed. we got ready to go for dinner. grandma, aunt, parents and i went to this seafood shop for dinner. met uncle and lao gu there. the seafood was soo good! first time in a long time that i ate both prawns and crab in the same meal. usually i'll eat only one even though there is always both the dishes. show how nice it is. any way, dinner was a great meal.
after dinner went to the night market. bought some stuff. aunt bargained with the shopkeeper on some table cloths. it was 150,000 doung for one at first(about $15 in singapore). she finally got it to 43,000(or 4.30 in sing dollars) for a set of 5. wow!!!!! haha, we bought like 18 sets! all for dad and mum's friends and collegues or aunt. we then went back to the resturant.
right now, i am using the comp while my family is eating durian! well, pics will be when i get back. cos cannot connect the camera to the comp now since i didn't bring the cable with me!

today was so fun! reached the foyer close to 7. heard karthika and lena singing their history song. then more and more people came. went onto the bus. sat with janice. ate sweets. took a picture of karthika. reached st andrew's secondary school. came down and went up some steps. then went down again and sat on some step thing. felt very bored. we got a free pen and a bag. but it was boring. sat with janice and karthika. just talked about random stuff and watched as the other schools came.

(i promised someone that i will post the schools that were there... that's why the names of the schools are all here)
finally we were asked to go to the hall. reached the hall and sat in 3 rows. don't know why its 3 instead of two rows. and we waited and waited again for a long time. then decided to hear music. after that had a performance by some guy with his guitar. and a sing he and his friends composed together. then had to wait again.
finally the guest of honour arrived at 9.10. and made his speech. then we heard 4 poems by a group of people. they were the runner up of some competition. after that at 9.45, we were dismissed to go to the canteen for our break or refreshments. the canteen was at a totally new block! the school is soo big! wish stc was that big.. too bad we can't go to st andrews. any way, for the refreshments, it was mc chicken from macs! tasted great! we then went to the 5th floor of the classroom block to wait for our turn. it turned out that we were on the wrong floor and the wrong classroom. we went down to the 4th floor and sat in the waiting room. the actors went to change into their costumes and did their make up. helped karthika and janice to do the ears of the animals. it came out. then i was free so went round to take pictures. took quite a few pics.... while they were doing make up, the actors rehersed their lines for the trailer. still went round taking pics. then we were called up to go to the next room for the performance. miss koh helped me take a video of the whole thing! was super scared!!!! idk why i was scared when i was not even acting. but any way, it turned out great!!!!! the whole thing was great!!!! 2C ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
we went back to the waiting room and the actors went to change back. miss koh praised the acting. cos the space that they rehersed was so different from the space that the actors had. and they did well!!!! i just slacked around and then miss koh disappeared. afterwards she said that she went to see the others school's performance. we were in the waiting room feeling bored and i started to read the book that i brought. then some of my classmates wanted to do this play thing or scene in the classroom. we all sat on the chairs and nat was recording. ming came in from the door and we greeted her as 'miss chua!' so it was 'good morning miss chua!' haha. but we were too loud and so someone came in to tell us to keep quiet. remember, we were a class of 35 people!!! went back to reading and again someone else came in to ask if our teacher was here and to ask us to go to the hall. then cos miss koh was not back yet, they told us to wait for our teacher.
miss koh came back at 11.45 and we went to the hall. heard the poems. well, the those that made it to the second round. clementi town's poem was super good! haha, won't mention what it is about here. but it was the best! and they won the poetry competition. they deserved it. and some school sent in 3 boys and they had a poem about girls....... the bad sides of us! :( then after the poems thing, we had to wait again. finally, it was the prize giving ceremony. the poems on were said first. then the book trailer. i was sooo scared.... waiting to see what we got. they went room by room and when it came to the music room(which was our room), i was more tense. the third place was said and the second place was said. second place was st hilda's. was scared for the result. then the mc was like in first place was saint...... then stop..... then said, in first place was saint theresa's convent! and we all cheered and screamed!!!! mingfung went up to get the trophy with andrea. and we screamed again! WE GOT FIRST PLACE!!!!! super happy!!!!!! after that was the prize for the debate teams. then we could go back.
took a class photo at some part of the school grounds. today only had 35 of us instead of 40. still, can say that it is a class photo! also took photo of the trophy! and then we went onto the bus again. sat with janice. was so tired i wanted to sleep. almost did. we arrived in school and could go home!!!!!
2C GOT FIRST PLACE AT THE 2009 LIT FESTIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE 2C! GOOD JOB EVERYONE!
