Long day as expected since a long time ago. Woke up at 8.20am and met up with SJJ, Andy & Jia Hui at Serangoon central Mac's for breakfast. McGriddles Rocks! I recommend everyone to try it. =D After that we walked to school and met Qian Ying, Lee Keat and Shu Hui halfway. I lent Qian Ying my school pin since she didn't have hers. We split outside the art room where SJJ and andy headed to the hall while I headed to the tables outside the LT4.
I was directed to Group 1 by Ophy, new head of the project cause I didn't have a group or have any friends in the project at all. Sadly my buddy last week was assigned to Group 3 so I was assigned to a new buddy. Darryl was his name. Heard stories that he was super playful and very hard to control. He wasn't all that bad. In fact I found him super creative. He was trying to learn his 听写 so that when he get back home he can play his computer games. He likes drawing skulls, starting from the teeth to the eyes and finally circling the head. Why did I say he was creative? He remembered "请求原谅" 的 "谅" by depicting it as a wizard (staff; hat, head, body , arms) Anyway he was always butting into his classmates' English spelling by spelling the words before his mate while I was testing him his spelling =[ In the end only managed to remember 9 words out of the 15 words in his list. 真失败！
We were dismissed at 12pm and I ran to the mrt station and took the train to Hougang Station. Dalvin and Xuan Yi was late. We headed of eventually upon the arrival of Xuan Yi at around 12.40pm towards the PAP centre. Kidsread program is much harder than Yang Zheng's peer tutoring. The J2s started out with a little story about a man with a stack of different colour hats on his head. Nothing interesting about the story, only felt that some of the J2s felt very paiseh while the story was read ( dunno why ). After that we were suppose to teach the kids colours and shapes. I joined Gabriela's table and she introduced me to the kids as a very naughty boy. (WTH? What did I do? =p Must be that day at Nightlight gave her a lot of problem ba =X) OMG! It was super hard to teach the kids as most of them didn't even know their ABCs... Luckily one hour went by like the wind and the kids were picked up by their parents. One of the boy's parent was late though and Mei Yan (I think) started playing rock paper with him. I joined in halfway and got totally bored so wanted to teach him chopstick but was given the blank face look =_=" Changed to the school uniform shirt and started using the face blotter only to be advised not to use it by my seniors as according to them a face blotter removes oil but your face will produce even more oil after that. As how Jeremy puts it, "Law of equilibrium distribution" =.="
We left the place at around 2.35pm or so and walked to the MRT station and Dalvin and I tooked the train back to Serangoon Station. We were "late" by almost 45min but when we got to St Gabs nothing much had taken place. I chatted with my pals and realised that those who went to the JC's wrote their PI's based on Dr William Tan...
After the parade, we started of with the usual prayer, following by the band performance. The principal made his annual report following by the Guest of Honour, Brigadier General Lowrence Chua, Commander, 2nd People's Defense Force Command, MINDEF, and also a former Gabrielite. He started of his speech repeating much of the information that Mr Lee said during his report and I dozed of halfway. The new CCA group guitar ensemble gave a performance after the speech. Next up was the speech by Valedictorian, top scorer of the school, Filbert Lee. He was wearing the NJC blazer which really stood out in the crowd. His speech was quite entertaining and I noticed that he had a bad habit of not being able to keep still while speaking, starting each of his sentence with a gentle sway of his body from side to side. He pointed out something which really got me thinking. "I met many of my primary school mates in NJC. Those who were good back then were even better while those who were bad back then were much worse now." Certain keywords flew into my mind instantaneously- Elitism, Morality, Values, Education.
After his speech it was time for the prize presentation for the non academic matters aka Service awards and CCA colours awards. I received the same cert as last year lol..
The buffet was quite a spread i must say. I ate dinner with my pals and left hurriedly, turning down the offer to play pool at kovan with the plan to meet my mates at vivo. In the end I didn't since I finished pretty late and they were already done with dinner so I went to J8 with my parents in the end. Bought a new G shock watch and a nike running shoe since my shoes were all quite worn out. Met Desmond and friends in J8. Desmond has become a giant only after a few months since I last saw him.. what in the world did he do to grow so much in such a short time??
