Today there was remedial chemistry at 7.30 am. I had no choice but to get up early. After the lesson Ernest asked whether I can help him sell flags as it was SJAB flagday.I told him there was home detention today...
Actually i know that something is not right. I do not feeel like studying. Things are mot what they seem. However as Mr Leow said when I blog I just write I just say good things never bad... But how to express my innermost feelings when I know that people who may not like what I say about them may be reading it? He said that students have had their blog taken down because of what they had written...
That is why I must be careful when I blog...
δΉζηζ² describes what I feel. Just when things are going on fine, again I know something bad will happen...It was what my father said yesterday when he was talking to my mother...

Da Vinci Project
Today I reached school at 6.45 am. Went for an easy jog with my team members.
School finished at 3.15 p.m. becauase the biology teacher could not finish teaching.
After that Li Ming's father came and drove joel, li ming and me to joel's house to finish the chinese project on Da Vinci. Joel's mom was very nice and bought lunch for us as we were all hungry. Thank you aunty! I forgor to tell my mother about it as we had problems finishing the work. When we left at 6.30 the project was almost finished.
We also admired Joel's hamsters. They were really so cute...

Annual School Cross Country 2007
Today was the school cross country. It was at Bedok Reservoir Park.
I woke up this morning very excited. Anyway I was there at 7.40am and did the warm-up.
We waited for the rest who were coming from school.
At 8.35 it was the teacher's race. Mr Yon came in first and Mr Ong came in second in Men (Open). Miss Tan Pei Shan was first in Women (Open). Congrrats to all these teachers in charge of our CCA cross country.
First the Boys C division ran first. Then Girls C Division. Then it was Boys B Division, my division. We started at 8.55.
I ran slowly in the beginning. Ray was in front of me and was breaking the crowd.After the the 2km mark I started running faster and pulled away from the pack.Many girls were blocking the way and I had to avoid them.
At the 3.5 km mark I only saw girls. So I started to speed up. I reached the bend just before the finishing line and heard a lot of shouting.
Everything was a blur then but I knew I had made it when I saw all the teachers at the finishing line...
Yes I came in first in a time of 18m. This is a personal best for me...
Sigh! Actually though I felt very happy that I won, it was also bittersweet.
Why? Because cross country CCA closed down last year under Mrs Ku. It was very terrible last year. I hated the school and what they were doing. I felt like quitting school and not run anymore...
In a way I am glad Mr Tong came. At first I thought he would not do anything or do little. But then he starte doing things. He found some 'B' boys for me to run with and then this term he opened up the CCA and there are now Sec 1 boys. He even let me start a blog to talk about our school cross country team. But the best thing happened at the school cross country today. He allowed me to take a picture with him wearing my gold medal. To me, it meant that the school recognised what I was doing. All the sweat, the tears, the pain is now worth it...Even if no other teacher in the school support me , only Mr Tong, to me that is enough...
I know that 18m at the National Inter-School Cross Country is very possible now...

Training at CCAB
This is even week so today we finished school at 1pm. There was an add maths test on logs today. It was tricky...
At 3.45 pm we assembled in school to go for training at CCAB. Mr Ong and Mr Yon came down with us. Here are a few photos our training...
I felt really happy today. Mr Yon and Mr Ong were really concerned about us and how we trained.They took the time to talk to us individualy. This is the first time two teachers ever came down for training. It felt very good to be part of the team. It was also the first time we had more than 10 boys training...

Today had to get up early to go to school for chemistry remedial lesson. Five in the class did not turn up. Before we left, Ms Tan said there would be another remedial lesson next week, same time same place. Oh well...No choice but to go.
I enjoyed creating the HIHS athletics blog and I hope the team members will also post...

Training in school
Today school ended at 2 pm. All of us self-marked our chemistry homework and packed our bag.Then Miss Tan reminded us about our remedial lesson tomorrow at 7.30 a.m. We all groaned.
3 p.m was CCA time. But it was a CCA training with a difference. For the first time the training was held in the school. Mr Ong ,one of the trainee pe teachers and my maths teacher trained us. He made us run 10 x 400m, then we went to the school gym for 10 sets of gymwork.We tried all sorts of equipment including dumbells.It was extremely tiring as I tried to carry 15 kg.(I nearly dropped those dumbells.)
Then Mr Tong talked to us after training. He told us that if any boy who ran below 20min next week at the school cross country, that boy would get a tee-shirt. I think that tee- shirt is almost mine.... He also gave incentives for running 50 km. So easy...
For the first time in over a year, I felt very happy. We are now a TEAM!
Sorry but see who has horns in the photo below...However as you see we are very happy including the sec 1's:

Going Back to school
Sigh, tomorrow it school's day.I still have not done my homework, and at the time I'm writing this post, I still do not know how to do E-maths Page 2.Question C) Name the combinations and explain briefly, with separate diagrams, how each of them proves that the triangles are congruent.This question requires thinking , something that I refuse to do cos I am going a bit muddleheaded.The homework is piling up and I'm feeling stressful.This school holiday has been partially burnt by camps and lessons, and for others it is the entire school holiday.Sigh, nothing I can do about it.Just hope to complete all homework by tonight.
Possible answers to the front page:
Wow! Six facts for every set of congruent triangles!
Fortunately, when we need to PROVE (or show) that triangles are congruent, we do NOT need to show all six facts are true. There are certain combinations of the facts that are sufficient to prove that triangles are congruent.
Methods of Proving (Showing) Triangles to be Congruent
SSS
If three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
SAS
If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
ASA
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
AAS
If two angles and the non-included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.
HL
If the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, the right triangles are congruent.

V-Camp Day 2
Yesterday I went with Joel and Ester to V-Camp. It was day 2 of the camp. The venue was IHPC (part of A*, Institute of High Perfomance Computing at Science Park II.The building's name was called the Capricorn.I had a lot of trouble getting there, as the place was in a rather secluded place behind NUS and Kent Ridge Hill.At the auditorium, I met Joel and we sat together to listen to a talk by a company. This Company actually conducted a Cinema 4d Animation course at Temasek Polytechnic when I was in Sec 2.Inside the company's brochure, I saw a few of 2 Unity 06 students' photos, and of course I saw Rayson.Many secondary schools have actually gone through this course, by the company IM Innovations Pte Ltd. Namely the schools that have actually attended this course are CHIJ St Joseph's Convent, Admiralty Secondary and of course, our school.After listening to the talk which lasted for about one and a half hours, we sat for the training course (Crash Course) lasted for 2 hrs.The instructor taught us to assemble a 3d model areoplane and later to animate it.We were at an advantage, as we had gone through the course when we were in Sec 2.We created a plane which had been been blown to bits while landing at an airport .It was okay, though the animation path wasn't smooth.Later, we went for a break, which was spent watching cartoons.The cartoons we saw were extremely comical, with one particular scene showing the character landing into a pit where there was a cow passing motion.The website shown was www.rgstudios.com.These cartoons were probably made by a Korean, as there were Korean words in it.Later, we went for 3d visualsion, where we watched a movie using visual goggles.The goggles I took back home as the mentor gave it to us as a souviner.However I can only see through Cyan and magenta colours as it is specially made in such colours.I also saw particles(atoms) vibrating 3d using such goggles, and the view was breathtaking.It was really 3d like and was happening before your very eyes.(I wished I could keep on watching the video!) Soon after, we were sent to the libary, and asked to play a game.We were treated to a quiz about IHPC, and we went scouring up and down for answers.Fortunately, ester had brought along a set of fliers from the day before.We rushed around for answers and the receptionist helped us by giving us answers.Students from SJI got a bit unhappy with us and asked which secondary school we came from.We ignored them and continued.However, by the time we came back, St.Margaret's Secondary had already been there before us.It was unfortunate.... They cracked some jokes at us and said we had taken years to get there. HaHa!! Anyway, we got a souvenir while they got a Notebook.Haiz... We went to the COVE next.We played counterstrike and we lost!! I killed a few people but ended up killing my teammates.So idiotic!! Don't know how to play such games...
At 4 pm sharp all of us boarded the bus to go to the Science Centre for the Closing ceremony. I throughly enjoyed myself the last two days and I received a certificate of participation with my name on it. I was told that I can get at least one CCA point from attending the V-camp. So mustremember to go and see my HOD when school reopens...
At 5 pm I went to turf city for training. All my teammates were already there as training had started at 3.30 pm. The coach made us run the 4.5 km route and all of them had just started running after doing the workout. So I literally ran after them. After 300m the heavens opened and it started pouring. All of us were soaked through to the skin but we finished the race. Even the girls...

V-Camp 2007
Today, I went with Joel and Ester to the Singapore Sci Centre.I had lots of Fun, with I creating 3d games with MGX.It was very exciting.We created a war game and knocked everybody off.Before that, we programmed a picocricket.It was a microprocessor which could be programmed to advance stage.We created an intelligent watch which could change colour in the intensity of light.It was so fun.At the end of the day, I brought home 2 chicken drummettes.Haiz...Didn't have enough time to see the exibits.Anyway, Virtual reality is great!!
Going To A-STAR (IHPC) tomorrow.Can't wait!
