I Bet this is the most "delightful" month for most of you out there, as we are in the midst of JUNE school "HOLIDAYS"!
What's up with the inverted commas you ask. Well for starters, this holiday is meant for all Sec 4s taking O' Levels to MUG hard and prepare, as opposed to playing all day long!
Anyway, I'm back here once again to give a really SHORT update.
Last week was the last week of Term 2 and it also marked the end of 1st semester in our school. We received our report books and all I can say is, I really need to IMPROVE well in the area of my language, especially English. It caught me off as an irony for me to score better in my Chinese than English which should have been the opposite, if you've known me personally.
The rest of the subjects were okay, just that we all really need to work more on Amath. Most people dropped from their distinction in AM to getting just a C5 and I'm one of them.
So here's the summary of my Mid-year Exam:
EL: C6
AM: C5
CL: B4
COMB HUMANS: B4
EM: B3
PHY: A2
POA: A2
CHEM: A1
L1B4: 14
FYI: I'm using the score of prelims for EL and CL to reduce discrepancy.
You would have noticed a drop from my previous reportbook which features a L1R4 of 8. Well, the drop could be attributed to subjects like Maths and Language. However, I'm still quite satisfied that I did well for Physics and still managed to sustain my Chemistry and POA results.
Alright now, moving on..
As promised to Ming Zhen, Lionel and me went to the mini-EMERGE conference 2009 to support her on a cheerleading programme call "Parade of Schools".
I really enjoyed myself through out day and its really different from what I would have expected it to be. The people I met with are really changed as compared to the past impressions I had. It's really incredible when you are able to see change happening like this. I really love hanging out with you guys, a really really cool cellgroup!
Thanks Ming Zhen for the invitation! You showed me something that was different than what my mind comprehends. Next time yea?

Everyone of you will now be thinking, "Gerald, are you seriously out of your mind?" Its actually O' lvl for Mother Tongue and you could spend your time out there instead of studying for chinese!
Well well well, language isn't really something you could master overnight or even over weeks. For the past 8 days of mother tongue intensive, which produces work equivalent to that of 1 semester of any Sec3 CL students, I felt its quite enough for me already.
Seriously speaking, what we mainly study on are topics in the news and internalising those informations and points of those hot topics. Mainly what's the problem, why it happened, what influence it has and how it can be solved. All of these could be done through logical and rationale thinking and we all know that what we read and write isn't actually true anyway. If those problems could be solved that easily by giving those 3 points, there will be world peace now.
Therefore, during the morning while everyone was still all nervous and afraid of the MT papers, I was there trying to relax and think through that there will be one burden lifted off me after today.
Which brings me to this...
I'm HAPPY that MOTHER TONGUE : CHINESE is finally OVER!
Well, after the papers we went over to causeway point to catch Terminator Salvation!
Its really an AWESOME show that I think everyone of you should turn your heads to! It features AMAZING sound effect and its an action-packed movie! Go on and choose Terminator, if you're planning on movies during the holidays!
RIGHT! This is the main reason why I'm posting now where I should be trying to complete my English assignment. Well, in line with school's official opening of the Environment Education Hub, we've caught hold of some media attention.
Together with JingJing, we've been going around for certain interviews and etc. Jingjing got herself in the papers on yesterday's Lian He Zao Bao.
And today, the TODAY's newspaper actually featured an article about both of us and the school!
It's titled "Coffee with two young 'champion' "
