Teacher's Day Celebration...

Today = Teacher's Day Celebration. [today oso m'sia's national day la..]

The event was severely screwed up [lucky i nt on duty..]!! Saw a lot of mistakes. Although it may not seem obvious for audience, but it's definitely a nono for AVA. Left a wired mic on the floor in the middle of stage for lik 10+ mins, with more than 20 teachers on stage, many teachers moving around. And heng tt no one ACCIDENTELY stepped on it, if nt... Idk wad were the stage crews doing dwn there, bt there r 4 stage crews + 1 OIC there, no one saw it?? Somemore Hall Control had told them to take it off! In fact, they oni took it off after the teachers have left the stage.

First thing, I went to Hall late, thus dunno where my class is, so go Hall Control to help [esp lighting] after I asked for Kelvin's permission. Then later, Celine went up to Hall Control. I oso told her tt im there, and she said okay.. When the oic of this event came to Hall Control, he was lik asking why am i there. So i told him i came to help, and alrdy told Celine, and he said, " Celine is the advisor, I AM THE OIC!!!" Hwoah... oic jin dua meh?? It was obvious tt he's trying to tell me he oic bigger than advisor... 造反 liao lei... "I'll call u all if we nid help!" Fine, he is oic, i cant say anything.. So i remove my walkie and watched the performance.

Wad a good event sia... Coz got PROFEESIONALS and EXPERIENCED ppl doing duty wad... Dun care abt the mic, stage lights switched off oni when reminded by walkie. Totally no SENSE OF URGENCY!!! OMG! And I seriously dun think they had rehearsed a full-run of the entire event.

NO monitor speakers. They didnt request then no nid. ?? Then I kena hood by Mr Jackson Ng coz he tot im the oic. No bad la his Karate, quite pain.. LOL..

Anyway, after the event, he asked me to explain to him during coming Wednesday's CCA session of why I was there. Okay, as a junior, I definitely will apologize to him for disturbing and SCREWING up his event + nt informing him tt Im in the Hall Control [well, this part is my fault.], and I will promise not to interfere his work/events in future if he is the OIC or Advisor of tt event, so as not to cause the whole event to screw up AGAIN!! And I do hope he realised who made the BIGGER mistake! If not I cant do anything else to make him awake, unless someone will wake him up frm his mistake...

Okay, ignoring the screwing up part [idk is SLs' fault or AVA's fault, or both], the performances were excellent. Esp the teachers acted as student tt play, vry interesting, which reflected wad we students are lik.. Mr Louis Pang socks damn long sia.. Almost till his knees. Mr Tang and Ms Phan hold hands sia [aiyo... XD]. Soup and 小潘潘 Hahaha... Rofl!! “今天是我们的一天纪念日，我把我的心送给你。” Wha... [Hopefully Mr Tang dun see this horh... if nt i'll die on Wednesday...] In comp lab we were lik mimicking their act when Mr Tang came. Ohh... Mr Pang and company oso lik "Jun Jie and Xiao Ling sitting on the tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Hohoho... Looking at the photographs took by our Photo ppl, saw some part no spotlight shining [most of them were when they walking up the stage]... JASMINE!!! Nt good enough horh...

Walau, Dawn! Still desiaoing me hor... Keep on saying "vry interested hor.. 是不是要跳槽啊" Walau, wad 跳槽 la... Then the video members oso lik "要不要过来video"or sth lik tt.. Walau, ppl learning how to use the video camera nia, got so 严重meh... Then found a mic stand and start setting up to cover my 跳槽 rubbish. Spent 33.8 sec sia... So long.. Then when keep one of the part too tight cant unlock [no really unlock, bt cant find the corect word now...], waste arnd 20 mins to get it done...

Wait... Last thing: HAPPY TEACHER"S DAY to all teachers!!

Did something interesting today...

Today did something quite interesting. Went for Remedial then during breaktime been "kindly invited" [or was "kidnapped" a better word XD] by the video ppl to do their film coz today deadline for their competition or sth [idk].

Kay, then l8r Mr Royston was lik calling me up and say i must inform him b4 i leave [coz I didnt tell him]. So I went back to comp lab after Eng Remedial.

So I nidda act as a nerd or sth lik tt. God! Wearing a sch-u tt doesnt fit my body [too big luh... Coz is Albert de..], and carrying a bag [Yu Hui's bag] tt's quite small for me, and so girlish kay. Worst thing is the long pants, way too big for me. They first used dark tape, then not so effective, l8r change to safety pin.

Anyway, acted at quite a few places in sch, lik Sch Gate, SRR, Sch Hall, Field, Parade Square etc.
Some friends were lik shocked by my appearances when they see me, and some looked at me as if im really a retarded person. Zzz...

SRR most fun wan.. Can play with those things inside. Muahaha...

Lunch eat chicken rice. After that went to comp lab. They upload the videos to the comp, so I get to relax for awhile. Wanted to learn sth new --> camera! Saw a D90 on the table, and decided to learn how to use it. Albert oni teach me how to take a shot and how to delete it, other function he dunno liao [coz he is video dept]. Saw Hui Wen [Photo HOD] and asked her. Wade, Dawn [AVA HOD, meaning my HOD la] was lik "喂，要跳槽啊？", coz im learning photo thingy. I think she oso said it at morning when Kay Ying said "eh, u shld join video leh." Sien... I so 忠心耿耿 to AVA, wont 跳槽 de la.. Then Hardi [Video director] said sth [i forgot, bt was helping Dawn la]. Then l8r i said i oso got learn how to use video camera wad.. [Jit Hui and Albert teach wan], and Hardi was lik "Ohh, good! Good!" LOL.. Learn video things then he so happy liao, forgetting wad he said previously. Anyway, get to play a little with the camera, and test out some function.

Something even more interesting tt i've done today: I taught/suggested Clement, our Media Club Vice-president and Xinmin SL president the proper method of correcting his student leader or Media Club members [esp AVA] when they did something wrong or those AVA members who have no interest in CCA! Muahaha... Dunno whether he'll try my method, bt personally i think it shld have its effect on those ppl... U kno who u r..

Anyway, at last done with the filming, and went bac to hostel [which is where i am now].

Games Day!!

Today got unseen poetry test. Not tt difficult to understand the poetry, bt quite difficult to answer [coz my Eng Lit vry lan mah..]. And I hate Art!!! Waste my time, nid to do sth tt i dun lik to do, and pull my average dwn!! If nt i shld be in top 50 for last semester!!

Today is Games Day for CCA session [YAY!], coz it is the last CCA day of the month. Played soccer and Captain's Ball.

First got PT. Well, not as "intensive" as Wednesday, only run lik 2~3 km and pump abt 30 or 40 times in total.

Then went to field to play soccer. Keep on losing coz of some SLACKER! Well, play midfield oso lose, play defence oso lose. Kay fine.

Then went to play Captain's Ball. Boy vs Girls leh.. Bt got some boys [Ye An, Benjamin, Chen Fan and George] to help them, so not so unbalance. + boys oni can use 1 hand to catch ball [bt l8r change bac to both hands oso can]. Quite fun this time. I lik to perform my "Random Throw", which is to throw to the back, meaning without looking at where I'm throwing. Muahaha.... Always tyco de... LOL.

School.

Today Geog got test. Agriculture. Generally kno how to do, bt dun think can get A1 leh..

IT lesson learned a new software called the Google Sketch up. Mr Heng keep on said until "Google Scratchup"... Haha.. XD

Chinese lesson present my ATT, show off my zha dao kind of presenting method again [Muahahaha...]. Bt then after that got bombed by thousands of questions. Sien...

Then Maths lesson, learned Stem-and-Leaf diagrams. Si bei Sien arhhhhh!!! Then started stomachache.

English lesson. Do poem. Still can feel the intense agony in my stomach. When present really cant tahan liao, so ask Zhi Yong helped me read the remaining lines.

CCA.

First taught my teammate everything about walkie-talkie, after that then realised that I taught nothing. All go up fail.

Then, PA system training. Forgot to return walkie-talkies. All together 5, left it at the glass cabinet outside G.O.

Hall setting up. Listened to instruction, bt somhw my brain changed the program. So i thought oni nid 3 wireless +2 wired, and sound frm moniter speakers, where actually i supposed to set 3 wireless and 2 wired and CD volume came out of moniter speakers. Sh*t. And I realised I forgot mic holes are which channels. Chloe oso dunno. Later then I rmb mic hole 1 ~ 10 is channel 1 ~10. Haiz... Chloe oso didnt turn on the knobs for aux. Sigh...

Vry tired, bt still nidda chiong hw. Lucky next Monday Teacher's Day celebration no nid do, if not even busier for me. Probably the only Heng thing.

Tireddddddd....

Today went to esplanade for the forum thingy. Not bad. And I wasted my opportunity sia..

Went up there dunno say wad crap, and the main thing tt i wanted to say didnt appear to come out frm my mouth. Said wad rubbish abt the lighting. I actuali wanted to say sth lik: 人生是一部最难演的现场演出， 因为你根本不知道下一步该怎么演，而导演也往往不在身边。所以，我们应该即席而作，并尽量让大脑过滤后做出最正确的事。

Anyway, quite enjoy the whole session, and learned sth!

OMG, I waste 3 hrs sleeping... Shld be doing my endless hw bt.. Haiz..

Tmr nid go esplanade for some chinese thingy. All Sec2E and sec3 nid go i think. Until 5 leh.. Left not much time for hw too.

Hopefully can qiong finish all these hw..

Die die.

A lot of hw havent finish leh..

-->Chinese ATT presentation
-->Eng Lit ATT
-->Chemistry worksheet and graph
-->Physics mindmap

Sien, somemore got Geog test on Wed/Thurs..

OMG, 6 weeks to EOY.. Arghhhh!!

Tired-est CCA session, worse attitude for training...

Vry tired today.

CCA session was ______. Undescribable. First we have PT. I was assigned as one of the PT trainers. Vry bad. Cant attend the whole PT session as I was headache halfway and therefore went back to AVA room.

Next thing, [Intensive] training session. OMG!!

Firstly, my group [Cosine group] were assess on PA system, which is considered one of the easiest as compared to outdoor system and Hall system. Yet we screwed the entire thing up -no sound coming out from anywhere. Wallace and I tried to ask he and shefor at least 8 times whether they are playing the music, and we received no reply. Sh*t, I even nid to ask them to reply, and I realised that Im talking to the wall. Then, Isaac asked us to come dwn to the General Office. I asked them wad are they doing and why are they not replying Wallace and I. She said she dunno how to use walkie-talkie, asked him to help her bt he only say "press tt button la" or sth lik tt. Dunno how to use walkie-talkie? Wad rubbish? Okay, fine. Worse thing, when I asked him, his EXCUSE is "im vry tired". And I repeat, this is a bloody chicky ********* excuse. Wad kind of attitude is this?? Was he saying that he was so tired until he couldnt even press a button and speak?? Seriously lack of a single BIT of cooperation and communication. "Press tt button". Wad rubbish nonsense is this? Again testify as wad Mr Tang said during AGM this year,"it takes everyone to continue improve in Media Club's proffesionalism, but it only takes one to destroy the whole thing. Same thing in an event or training, it jus nid one person to screw the whole thing up. One more comment from the Trainers,"stare at the PA system doing nth". Wad?? They didnt intend to like troubleshoot or do sth? Waste every other members time!! Is his Attitude becoming Zattitude? Or didnt exist at all?? Next year is our school's 65th anniversary, and this attitude definitely wont help..

Okay, the other thing. For my part, I do all the work myself at the start, didnt check walkie's batteries when taking it out from AVA store or Hall control. For the second part, I admit it is my fault, coz I too gan jiong when Issac said I've only 3 minutes to get all the walkies, thus I didnt check when I took it out frm Hall control. Bt wad did the first comment meanned? And I think tt the evaluators are sometimes too 管中窥豹 coz they cant see the entire and actual situation, which lead to evaluating the wrong thing to the wrong ppl. Some can be commented as slacking when they are actually the ones who help out the most. Of course I dun mean that evaluation is totally useless or sth, jus tt it is not accurate enough..

Hopefully we could change our attitude by the time it reached the end of this year. Everyone, not just one or a few. Haiz...

Hooray! Get full marks for maths test.

Today 1st lesson was PE lesson. Play basketball coz hall was used for prelims. Then English do outline for tmr's personal recount. Siao, essay must be 250-350 words, cant wrtie more than 350 words.

After recess was Art. Do some waste-time work. Chinese got debate bt half way through then lesson end alrdy. Maths is after lunch, discuss Maths test paper, then teach a little bit of chpt 9. Sian sia...

ICAS: min 2 qn wrong, max 6 qn. [Shld be able to get High Distinction bt i wan medal!!]
AMC: minimum 9 marks gone, max is 29. [At least a High Distinction oso i think.]

众人皆醉我独醒 vs 圣人不凝滞於物

Quite sien.. although there are a lot of hw waiting for me, and exams are less than 7 weeks away. Haiz... My English and Lit vry poor, Chinese and Maths still okay. Geog and Bio, considered know bt not so good. Chemistry still dunno yet, bt shld be okay. Physics, lots of formulae and half know half dunno - lik wad ppl called 一知半解. Dunno whthr can make it into top 50, bt hopefully can [duh..].

Sometimes, Im in a dilemma --> shld we do wad ppl say, or shld we do wad we think is rite [Given that we are supposed to obey wad the person say, and wad we think is rite is different frm wad the person say]. Worst case senario: all ppl say this must be done, and u kno definitely things will go wrong, or rather not necessary.

Tt's why 屈原 said "举世皆浊我独清,众人皆醉我独醒". He wanted to do the right thing rather than following the world to do the wrong thing. Bt the fisherman oso had his point - we must adapt with wad the world is like, y do we nidda be so perfect?

So, shld we be the only concious man in the world, or follow the world to be drunkl? Must we be more perfect or more unrestrain?

Media Club AGM 2009

Today is Media Club AGM. Released at 1215 and go AVA room. Since nothing much to do, go to Xinnovate Lab later with Xing Jie, Jit Hui and Jia Qi to watch the debate between 203 and 206 tt we're supposed to attend if we dun have duty. Jit Hui was just on time to go for her debate.

So the debate was quite smooth for the start, then later 206 was like keeping on go POI!. Randall was lik vry kasihan lar.. Then later Jit Hui was the last speaker for opposition, rejected many POIs, 206 was lik no nid money lik tt, keep on raise hand. Okay, so lastly was last speaker for proposition, and the speaker so funny sia.. I think he too nervous or something, only speak 3 sentence then finish, somemore lik stuck here stuck there.. And OMG, the 2nd speaker from his team was lik chasing him until he ran off the Lab, which made Miss Fizhah damn angry. 2nd debate didnt watch, we went bac down to AVA store. Jit Hui was lik keep on saying this was her worse debateBut later knew that both debate oso our class win.

Go eat lunch at 1445 at coffeeshop outside the sch. After that, we went back to sch. Then 1530 go into the AVA room.

Speech by Zi Xuan and Mr. Tang were quite meaningful and 意义深远. Mr Tang told us to make our dreams true or sth lik tt, and of course a lot more things. After that forgot wad happen alrdy, only rmb tt ppl coming out for food!! And Vanessa, Jit Hui, Kenneth and me are catering crews, which means to serve food for ppl. Then later got photo-taking session.

After that, clean the places. Jit Hui's father fetched her back, then i follow her back coz alrdy 1930+ so dark. So finally reached back hostel, vry tired.

Noooo... Tmr got English Remedial + SL Investiture, until 3pm leh...

Had maths test today. Not too hard, but quite tricky.. Hopefully can get 100%. Sadly, I only get full marks once for last year and once for this year, ONLY.. Haiz.. always some careless mistake..

Tmr is Media Club AGM. Im one of the crew. Catering, together with Vanessa, Jit Hui and Kenneth [a guy frm 201]. Xing Jie is the Master of Ceremonies [Wow, vry nice name.. LOL]! Next Monday, SL Investiture. I am backstage for this event. Rehearsal on Saturday, I think.

OMG, term 3 oso gonna end alrdy... So fast.. left 7.5 weeks to EOY, which is less than 2 months. Btr start to revise something..

OMG OMG OMG~!!!! Really can't believe it - I get rank 18 for SMO!!

Zha Dao.. Dunno whether I'm dreaming now. Pinch my cheek, pain! So I assume I'm not dreaming.. And it's quite weird because I only did 2.5 questions for the 2nd round.. I thought I'll be just getting another Gold and not top 30.

Just now checking the SMS website, and saw my name. For team result, Xinmin [Junior Section] only get rank 9, which means drop 3 ranking as compared to last year.. Sien.. Senior and Open Section didnt see the word "Xinmin", which is quite sad. Haiz..

.

Phew... Finally it's over..

After assembly, went up to the Hall while others proceeded to class. Set up equipments, deployed walkie-talkies, then test the mic and video volume. Sien.. 2nd video very difficult to "provide quality sound" coz Miss Sun's and Miss Phan's voice is so soft, but Mr Pang's voice was so loud.. Haiz..

Then the teacher keep complaining got buzzing sound. Sien... Somemore requested the mic [or was it DVD volume?] to be increased to maximum volume. Zha Dao. Told him definitely will feedback, wont listen.. He wanna blast the whole Hall, and let the whole sch become deaf?? So find Mr Tang, who told us cannot increase till max. So yay, just follow the correct instruction..

Then photo oso got problem - Mr Tang wan the photos of the collage before and after pasting those drawings by all classes, but the banner thingy alrdy put downn, so the teacher dun let us scrolled it up again.. Then Kelvin go ask another teacher who allow, and photo taken.

So the event started. So there are 2 videos. 2nd video still had some slight feedback, cant be avoided, no choice. Then Choir lead the sch to sing national day songs. Still requesting louder voice, haiz... After that, Mdm Liew unveil the collage - LOL, she was using a spoiled controller to pretend to click on a button, which at the same time people at backstage click on the real button..

Then, Mdm Liew sang 2 national day songs with the 5 choir members. And OMG, 1 of the choir members dun have mic.. There is a standby mic at right stage, and the crew there didnt do anything - they say they didnt see the choir member - whatever reason it is.. Still nid me to get the mic for the choir member. Not alert enough. Haiz..

The biggest problem in this event is that TIC is the wrong person...

AMC

Today got AMC. Quite easy, at least a lot easier as compared to last year's question, and it is somehow easier than the ICAS Maths.. I mean ICAS Maths was also easy..

Okay.. so today still got rehearsal for tmr's event.. Mr Lee said 1730 to 1830 rehearsal, at the end havent even started when it was 1830.. Chor seng was like talking to me about everything tt i nidda know as an oic, then only i realised a lot of things still havent done, and some even dunno it shld be that way..

Die.. Hopefully wont be too bad lar... It's a small event, and I hope nothing goes wrong.. If not Chor Seng is gonna scold and punish me - and all the crews... O.o

Monday Assembly today totally screw up..

Today's Monday Assembly was terribl... probably the worse assembly that I've been on duty since last year..

Recess is from 1015 to 1115, I went to General Office at 1015 to get the key from Mr Tang's tray and went to the Hall. Met Wallace, one of this week's Monday Assembly crew, who said he go eat first then come.

So I went to the Hall Control. Nid 2 wireless, 3 body-packs, 2 condensers and wired mics. So I tested 2 mics and took some XLR and power cable before Song En came. Asked him to bring it down. Worse thing - Chloe only come at 1050! I tell her that I can't find any body-packs, and she went to the AVA store. Came back and told me she can't open the door, and I knew the whole thing is gonna messed up - the door vry hard to open, the key problem i think.. Must tyco only can open.. SO I went down and so tyco, 1st try alrdy open the door. Get some stuff and rushed back, and same problem occured - door too hard to lock... Waste some 5 minutes to lock it. Damn the door!!

So it's 1100 and Wallace told me I get the wrong headset when I reached the Hall.. Shit! It's not so good luck for me this time.. Wasted a long time trying to open the door. Asked my junior to help me locked the door when I take the correct headset, and i rushed back to Hall Control..

For dunno wad reason the body-pack no sound.. Mdm Abey keep on wanting to test the body-pack.. Ask Chloe, then she said nidda change RGB cable coz got problem.. colour not right. Wallace suggest to change to another headset, and finnally got sound, sent it down to the stage.. OMG, wad is this, last minute only done. Then Mr Yeo was like asking us to open the aircon in the Hall - omg, forgot to switch on.. Then I saw so many people pulling their shirts...

Worse part came during the event.. It's some Drama kind of thing and Spelling Bee. Drama wan still okay.. Coming to Speeling Bee... The teacher will be telling the contestants the word, and the contestants on stage should answer.. This is the thing - i didn't set up a moniter speaker on stage since Dawn say no nid, therefore when the teacher is saying the words, everybody can hear it except for people on stage. So almst every contestant was like "can you please repeat the word" etc.. And I was like so damn no-face... and also due to the different height of different contestants, whenever the next contestant prepared to answer the question, my crew will nidda adjust the mic stand. Then Mr Jackson Ng was like came up the Hall Control and told us that we should have put a table there and set up a moniter speaker to put underneath the table so that the contestant can hear the teacher better and no nid mic stand - just put the mic on the table. Damn no-face as a TL..

God, Friday somemore I am the OIC of National Day Celebration.. Monday Assembly oso do until so messy, how do i expect myself to do a good job on friday?? Arhhhh...
