Then I went for my first shooting lesson! And I must say that it is so so so boring! I went there and wait for my turn. and when it was my turn, all I had was just one box of ''fakes'' to shoot. Once that box had finished, that's the end and I had to continue to wait until everyone else had finished theirs' and then that's the end of the day. I must also confess that I can't aim/shoot properly and so, I will never rise. Muahahaha! And so I quited shooting. But I quit shooting partly because I wanted to join Public Speaking which clashes with shooting. Oh...too bad. Public speaking because in IB, there would be a lot of presentation and so, I need to know how to speak properly. Furthermore, if I become a prefect, speech becomes even more vital as much communication would be needed.
Also joined the interact club which I actually have no idea about it. It only happens once a month, and so, it is not so time consuming. Lastly odyssey of the mind. It's so fun.! I think my brain works faster now. Muahahaha! But too bad....it's only temporary until April after the competitions.
And here in my school, there is so many trips around the world, thus causing me to be in a dilemma. There is a service trip to Butan (the happiest place on earth) costing S$4000, a holiday trip to South Africa costing s$5000, a interact club service trip to Chaing Mai costing S$635, an art elective trip to Osaka costing S$2500. There is also a complusary service trip for all year 5s to either Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam( with class). However if I go for any for the other trips, I need not go for the class service trip already. But I've have considered until I have reached two countries and that is either the interact club Chaing Mai service trip or the South Africa Trip. Why? Chaingmai because I get built a house and that it is cheaper (subsidised) as compared to the complusary one with the class which I neither get to construct a house nor is it subsidised. South African as we will be going like on a safari holiday for 2 weeks...(one that I won't be able to go with my family in the years to come and of course it will be more expensive), an experience of a life time. Not Butan as I have considered why bother paying so much to go on a service trip and when there is nothing to see except mountains and temples temples and temples!!!. Haiz!
Last week, went for the Methodist Schools Student Leeadership Conference held at Barker Road....was there actually to cover a friend who was unable to attend. I must say it was so so so boring! I ended up skipping all the talks, which was more like preaching after attending one. Ended up changing in to my Barker Road Prefectorial board shirt and started sitting and walking around. People envied us!
Last week was the Anglo- Chinese Schools' 122nd Founders' Day. So grand! Erm! I vonlunteer myself to as an usher for both the school celebration and the ACS OBA dinner. For the school ushering, there's nothing much for me to talk about. But after what was needed to be done, I went to watch the celebration in the hall...nice+boring...the Guest of Honour, Radm Lui Tuck Yew, minister of state and education (an ACS old boy) said in his address that an ACSian has three things in them and that is: Availablity, Adaptiblity and Capablity. At the celebration, there was an announcement that Mr Tan Wah Thong has retired as Chairman of the ACS Board of Governors as well as Dr Ang Peng Thiam stepping down as president of the ACS Old Boys' Association(OBA) And for the Founders' day OBA, it was held at the Suntec City Convention centre. Stationed at the main entrance and thus say Teachers, Principals and VIPs. Mrs Veronica Lam was the first person...then was Mr Tan Wah Thong , Mrs Judy Yeow, Mrs Manley and a few more people. When we had to sell ACS merchandise, the people there, I must say are so stingy! Hmm! Bought some ACS merchandise as well which amounted to a hundred dollars to add to my already growing collection. And after my duty had ended, joined the Barker Road prefects...haha! I ate their food! Thanks people!
Yesterday I had my prefect interview...I hoped that it went well and that it was convincing enough. But I doubt so. Haiz! Trying to be hopeful! I want it real badly. When I entered the conference room, I was just expecting the P or VP to be inside but there were 5 people inside. OMG! I was shocked! I was asked if I had any experience, what kind of leader I am, how was it like being under a head prefect and senior patrol leader. How was it like being a vice-chairman(administration)/Scribe. What were the challenges faced. And on my own part, I said why I want to be and should be a prefect and how I can contribute. Muahahaha! And then I seek approval for setting up a game store at the ACJC Fun O Rama 19th. The VP said it was a good idea and that she will talk to the P about it. Muahahaha!
