Come home, running.

Week 8 is over, time really flies. Anyway, I had a great week once again. Lectures & tutorials have been enriching for me. Wednesday after school had Pacer Rep briefing, we got postcards from the teacher-in-charge. Really nice photos taken over the few years of OCIP trip. So this year, I've to plan a COP (Community Outreach Project) for my class. & a teacher will be attached to about 3 to 4 classes, giving us advice & things like that. 31A, 31B & 32A falls under the same teacher! Miss Chua :D Haha, so the 3 of us might be thinking of combining our classes together & probably do a large-scale project. I realised many of our teachers in college are doing volunteering work outside, one even for eight years! But of course, an overseas trip for volunteer work would be another issue. Not really possible for whole class to participate, so a local one would be ideal. However, college organises OCIP every year, whether to Vietnam or Cambodia & even other countries. I won't want to miss it this year! Briefing ended an hour later, & there'll be another one held next week. Went for training at Innova Primary, it wasn't in the hall, it has a sports hall somewhere at the 1st level. Shocked (: J1s & J2s came, all perspiring & panting when I reached. Lol, nice one Coach.

Sunrise in the morning

Friday, took our 'A' levels Mother Tongue result! The anxiety just came naturally when I was in the hall. I got an A! Distinction for oral was quite unexpected, still thank God :D Congrats to JieKai, Jason, Samantha, Vanessa & Yvonne for getting As too! I guess overall, my class (0831A!) did quite well. Hah, no offence here but it was kind of suppressing when people around me kept saying things like, "Aiya, you'll get 'A' one lah .. ." At that moment, I was so afraid if I didn't get what I've expected. Now, I'm so relieved, & I believe others too. :)

2008 GCE 'A' level Examination results for Innova JC were not bad too! It was in the news, so I guess most have already watched it. If not, I've shared a link with my friend at Facebook, go have a look. :D Well done seniors, really. Was so excited when I heard the press will be coming & interview the top scholar. It goes to prove that we're not just a neighbourhood junior college, something I wanna say is that we've really dedicated teachers. (:

Milo Youth Tryathlon 2009

The event bag

Power nap of 3 hours on Friday night, got up & tried completing all the tutorials first. 3am in the morning on Saturday, went out of the house & reached Hougang mrt at 4am. We reached Sentosa Tanjong Beach at 6am! Was dark, & they didn't have any lights there. One of the person in charge just used the torch light to mark our attendance, lol! Got to know Alzena from Simei Ite, & a group of students from River Valley High School. I was in the transition crew! It's hard to explain here, it's an area where participants will get on their bikes after they swam. Started raining at 7am, participants & families had to get into the shelter first, & of course we had to stay out in the rain to get our job done (parking of their bikes). Totally drenched, but unforgettable experience. Forutunately, I haven't change into the event t-shirt yet. (: The event had over 2400 participants, ages ranging from 7-18 years old, categories of Junior, Intermediate, Senior & Relay. I was put into the Juniors' section, really cute kids! I see parents helping their children prepare everything, instructing them what to do, encouraging them, lovely sight. But parents were not allowed in the transition area, though the crowd was controllable in the midst of the race. Innova sent two teams! & I didn't know Abel, Shengbao & the J1 girls joined. Timing wasn't taken, good try. (: Saw the J3 PE teacher currently in our college, Cheryl & 1 of the church youths. Haha. Nice day! Then, what I'm gonna say now is totally unexpected. We were given a pair of Crocs to wear, a Crocs cap, Subway for lunch, CIP hours will be given, & lastly we'll be given $20! It may not be a big sum of money, but afterall it's all the satisfaction you get after the event has ended. Yup, so volunteers basically wore the green Milo event t-shirt, crocs cap & crocs shoes. Cute, like some must-wear uniform. All these rewards came as a surprise for me, I could see the smiles on the volunteers' faces. :D

Overslept after I reached home, missed Zonal Bonding. ): Hope all the YPM_18 bonded well as a zone! Then it's back to tutorials again till now. Anyway Sam & Vaneh, hope you guys enjoyed the Marley & me movie? Well it's hard not to be, when two "spastic" kids are around. HAHA. Just kidding, reward yourselves once in a while! For the first time, I missed watching a movie! So not me. Common tests are coming for the J2s, remember, all As! (:
