It was yuying secondary 97th anniversary cum speech and prize giving day (:
While,i went to school about 9.30am.
All the awardees are suppose to assemble at the hall,
and the school were so crowded and so many people :D
The hall was very different from the scene at the parade square,
the hall was crowded with parents,teachers,awardees.
All eagerly awaiting for the start of prize ceremony (:
Alright,had parade forms by uniform group.
SJAB,NCC,NPCC,GB & BB.
Haha,the camera was at the parade square,
and they were suppose to have the 'live' show from the parade square to the hall.
But while,it was like low-quality ok.
The camera was not really clear,
and me and some usuals went out from the hall to parade square to watch the prade form,
i am very proud of them :D
Later,the guest of honour,Mrs Yu - Foo Yee Shoon.
Minister of state,ministry of community development,youth and sports arrived.
And there was a official opening of the heritage gallery.
And a moment later,
the VIP and guest of honour was entourage at the hall.
There was a opening item by chinese orchestra and some speech,
makes me wanna sleep =x

Some photos i took in parade square :

Some photos i took at the hall:

Prize presentation ceremony started,
while before that i had interviewed some of the students.
The report was me and nurul huda,
We had just done our report.
Sent to mrs ravi our article and some of the photos i had taken during speech day via email.
I just hope that she can quickly take a look at it,
edit it and post it in mediaclub blog :D
Click here to check out at mediaclub blog for more information,
or simply go under my links and click on mediaclub :D
I just dislike some students when interviewing,
they are always giving NO answer or just reply I DON'T KNOW
But i like those students especially upper secondary,
which one questions they can answer more than 5 sentences,
and i need to write very quickly but i am very happy :D
While, after that there was a valediction by jian rong,
top 'O' level student for 2006.
Me and nurul went to interview him,
and i seriously learn alot from him.
And i even took photos with jianrong with some other seniors.

While,let me just share with you about the interview,
since some of them wanted me to post in my blog :D
His secret to success is to work hard,study hard.
In class,pay attention to teachers,don't play and talk during lesson because time is precious.
Know when to play and study as well.
Don't always study,give youself sometime to relax and rest for a moment.
Because if you always study and didn’t rest,
it is bad for health and you will go crazy.
After prelim 'O' level examination,
do not think that it is over and started enjoying because after 'O' level examiniation,
it will be a disappointment results.
The involvement in cca helps him to be able to enjoy and makes him to work hard in both his cca and studies.
He learn various life aspects like time management,commitment,communication and of course teamwork.
Which all can be applied in his preparation of 'O' level last year.
Technique of studying is to study hard,
determination towards success and don't give up.
Do not ever feel that after prelim 'O' level examination,it is over.
Because the actual exams haven't started yet,work hard and enjoy later.
Advice he would like to give to his juniors who are taking 'O' level this year,
Do well in prelim,pay 100% attention in class,seek help to teachers if you are not sure about the subject.
Know when to enjoy and relax,know when to study and be serious.
If your prelim results is not very good,
seek help from your subject teacher and ask your classmates.
Strike hard for 'O' level,don't feel stressed up or you will not score well.
Goodluck.

Happy birthday JMOMOMO! :D

Anyway, happy birthday JMOMOMOMO! :D
Happy birthday to you.
happy birthday to you.
happy birthday to JMO.
happy birthday to you.

Hey,i already joined mediaclub as my new cca :D
So library,GOODBYE.
So while,was having my cca yesterday in computer lab 4.
I need to write a report about speech day prize presentation,
since i am the awardees as well.
And also to interview the top 'O' level student,jian rong :D
Got to take some photos as well.
I think it is dam fun,suits me somehow.

Today,went to singapore press holdings for traning.
There was a meetings for all the mediaclub members.
While,not really meeting but a conference to ask questions.
Was really exciting, the person we are interviewing will be megan zheng.
In case you didn't know her,
she acted in this drama in 2003 which is called homerun.
At that time,she was at the same age as me which is ten years old,primary4 and she is very famous.
She even recieved the golden horse award at taiwan.
And this year,
there will be a new drama that she will be acting which will be shown on SCV channel soon,
which i am not really sure about it.
She had been busy for last yr june holidays,
and didn't have time to hang out with friends after school as everyday is fully packed except for sunday.

Some photos taken in the conference room :

Singapore press holding.

Interviewing with megan zheng.

Megan zheng :D

While,let me evaluate on the new drama that is coming up soon.
Megan zheng is a very naughty student,
she tend to skip school.
And her mother borrow money from loan shark to gamble,
and her mother dies because the loan shark chase after her and beat her mother.
Not only the mom gambles,
but also cheat during gambling.
Life goes on only with dad.
While,that's the only part that i can say because they only show us 5 mins of the drama.

And now let me talked more on megan zheng,
she loves acting because acting is enjoyable and she make new friends when acting.
The director wanted her to act in the drama,and she agreed imediately.
Since she know basic malay,
she hope that she will have this chance to act in malay drama and english drama.
At the beginning,
it is quite hard for megan zheng to cope with her studies after june holiday as she didn't attend schools for 1 week last year.
She needs to study new chapters which she didn't know at all.
And she always stay back and asked teachers for help after school.
She get recognise in public and she's not getting used to it after winning the golden horse awards.
It says that some of her friends were jealous of her,
in the sense of their attitude towards her had changed.
It isn't easy to act now as she needs to be slapped as the role in the drama,
and its very pain !
Once she cry,she needs a few seconds to stop crying.
Ballet,roller bladding are some of her hobbies.
And her ambition is to be a dancing teacher when she grow up.
Teachers in school are all very fair,
they didn't have special treatment to megan and also the school are very supportive.
She sleep very late atnight,
but then she needs to wake up very early in the morning.
The only way was she needs to be very focus on her role,
and take nap when there is break in between.

I took photos with megan zheng,hahaha :

Megan zheng,me,maychin.

Me and her :D Sorry,a bit blur but i tried to edit so is a little bit clearer.All thanks to maychin with her poor photography skill.

Alright,i got to go now.
Speech day tomorrow,
excited even though i had many things to do on that particular day.
Goodbye(:

I find this article really interesting and meaningful,
so i decided to post it in my blog (:
The topic is : success is an attitude.
I will be reading this article during this coming friday in the hall :D
Have a good time reading it.

We talk about success as though it’s an event or a thing. We refer to people wearing "the badges of success", and carrying around (or wearing or driving) the latest status symbol.

But success is not a thing; it’s a way of being in the world.

You can have all the riches in the world, and still feel like a failure if you aren't following your life's true purpose. This is a special kind of stress.

Or you might have nothing but the clothes you stand in and feel like the biggest success in the world... if you are following your heart. And that is a very special kind of 'bliss'.

Day after day you may struggle through your to-do list or Objectives Project Plan, cross off most of the big items, and maybe even feel like you have had a successful day.

But are you barking up the wrong tree? A successfully completed task doesn’t mean a thing if it isn’t taking you nearer your true life goals by following your heart.

So what does it mean to follow the heart?

One way of looking at this is to ask yourself "Where do I get approval from? Is it from inside of me, or from others?"

"Where do I find satisfaction? Do I find it in things and other people, or in the silence I find inside myself?"

These are difficult questions. It may be that you cannot even think of a time when you experienced silence within. Could it be that you are busy chasing after things that make too much noise?

There is nothing deadly serious about looking for inner silence. In fact, it leads to more fun, not less. More delight, not more depression or burn-out. And it leads to more success. Because the strength you take from inner silence restores the ability to see what is truly valuable. Friendship, love, compassion and commitment to something bigger than oneself.

Imagine yourself on your death-bed, if that isn’t too depressing! What will you look back on as the successes in your life? When was the point at which you redefined success and failure, and realised that the only real yardstick is within you?

Success is not an event. Success is an attitude.

I am tired now,
i think i woke up too early.
I think i should get back to sleep later,
but while i am in a good mood somehow.
And so i decided to blog :D

First of all,
i got to talked about today interschool debate competition.
YUYING FINALLY WON (:
The motion was : this house believes all schools should be single sex schools.
Yuying is the proposition team,
while chung cheng high ( yishun ) is the opposition team.
It was such a fun debate,
because the two teams were rebutting each other.
Karina and nurul seems to be really angry,
and had such a good rebut to the opponent team.hahahaa. (:
Anyway,
anglo chinese school is sooo big alright.
The washrooms were soo big,
and chongaik said to me '' how i wish our school have this kind of washrooms,i don't mind staying inside for half an hour ''
Laughoutloud-
And the food sold there is like more than 10 stalls,
japaness food,mixed rice,desserts,drinks,snacks,others.

Some photos taken during the debate competition :

How nice is that? (:

The debating room.

Proposition : yuying secondary.

Opposition : chung cheng high ( yishun)

After the competition..

After the whole debate ended,
we went to drink water cooler from A.C.S
hahaha,we were crapping that if drink some of the water from A.C.S,
we will be smart :D
Alight at kovan mrt station with some usuals,
and we went to white tangerine for our supper.
I order waffle with ice-cream,
and some others ordered root beer float and chocolate brownies with ice-cream.
Alright,we waited for more than half an hour just for our food to be served.
Like,are they so busy? wadever it is.
We had a very great chat :D
I tasted rachel's brownie,
the first few times i tasted is nice.
But after that,
there is a disgusting feeling that you would want to vomit because it's too sweet.

After about 12am,we went to macdonals to have our fries after white tangerine.
We talked about random things at macdonals.
About 12.30am,we went to bus - stop to take bus home.
But we are worried that there will not have any bus as time is very late now.
The bus-stop,
is completely silence.
A moment later,we saw the bus coming and *waves* and here we board the bus.
Reached home,
shower and sleep :D
I was like completely tired,
because before i went for the debate.
I was having speech day rehearsal and i reached home about 5.30pm.
Prepared and rushed to school at 7pm.

Took this photo at macdonals ! :D

Overall,
congratulations to all debaters !
You make us proud =)

Some photos taken in the studio :

Desmond and yifeng.

While,i seriously miss yesterday alot.
Rushed home imediately after school,
eunice came my house too :D
Have lunch,shower and after some preparations.
We took a cab and headed to mediacorp to watch the superstar last audition.
It was like oh,so scary lah alright.
I am checking all my application form,3R photos,and make sure i don't forget to bring any important stuff.
And hey,powder can atually cover my pimples =)
Went to mediacorp,
lots and lots of students were lining up.
And even the taxi driver wish us good luck,
thankyou uncle :D
And alot of them were lining outside,
but we are smart people lah.
We anyhow walk and follow the directions that the crowd was moving.

Reached car-park,
waited for a moment and registeration.
I just wanted to join for fun,
i know i am not gonna get in (:
But while,
just give it a try because what i wanted is experience.
Then,we went to studio and i keep on hearing the ' beep ' sound,
and when there is any of the contestant who manage to make it to the 2nd round of audition.
Those people lining at the back,
which is us will also shout and go crazy.
Hahahahaa,it is like dam funny lah ok :D
We are all united,
as high as those people in the studio (:
Then after that,we went to studio and wait for our turn to go up to the stage.
And soon when it is our turn to have our audition,
there was a dinner breaks for all the judges and camera man.
Like wtf? 45mins ok !
But while,other contestants did complain.
And somehow,i thought that 45mins passed very fast lah :D
I saw quan yi feng and desmond koh,
lots of the students went up and requested for their autograph.
Hahahahaa.
While as i said earlier,
i know i am not goin to get into 2nd round of audition lah.
But overall,
it is a good experience on stage and also had make new friends during the competition.
I am looking forward to learn music in music school,
i hope (:
Good luck to meee.

Helloooooooooo :D
I am back,haha.
Had been so long since i blogged.
Today is a tiring day,
went out with my mom in the afternoon to have our lunch.
And then to hougang mall for my new specs (:
After taking my specs,
i went to toa payoh HDB hub for campus superstar female audition.
Because some of my friends were there,
and to show my support.
I went there to cheer for them,
and in my astonishment i saw yujie there,
and i quickly sms her and encourage her.

HDB HUB is flooded with people :

All the students,waiting for thier turn to go up to the stage.

The judge.

Went there and i heard zhiyang and teresa singing,
and i am disappointed because i could not see nathaniel tan singing.
Because once i reached there,
nathaniel alr finished singing.
Alright,forget it then :D
After the short break,
the compeition resume.
I can see all female contestants were really nervous,
some couldn't even sing and just walk around and doing nothing on stage.
Some speak so softly,sing so softly that people could hardly hear.
But while, in another way round.
Some female contestants are confident,
they speak clearly and sing beautifully.
And once the green light is on,
they passed through the first audition.
And you know,
the whole HDB hub people will just yelled,scream,shout.
But still,almost all couldn't get through lah.
I saw one paya lebar methodists girl's school student,
she's singing and dancing at the same time on stage.
And she's confident enough,
the judge asked her not to dance but sing properly.
And she sing properly,
but rushing through out the song.
And she get through lah :D
And even the reporters came to interview her,
so i think she will appear in television?
And there was one guy standing beside me,
i think he's really being shameless in public ok.
While the female contestant were singing on stage,
once the guy thinks that the female could not pass through the next round by hearing their voice.
He will make a loud ' BEEP ' noise because thats what it sounds like when it have a red light.
And when the contestant didn't pass through,
he will have a evil laugh and it laugh so loudly that everyone will stare at him for a moment.
He's irritating and somemore he is standing beside me.
Can't he just keep his mouth shut and just keep all this words to himself?
He will hurt alot of contestants feeling,
so what if their singing sucks?
The guy is not much better than anywhere else.
Atleast they have the courage to sing infront of so many people in the public.
And his little daughter were sitting on his shoulder,
i think he's setting such a bad example to his daughter -.-''

Some photos of teresa and zhiyang :

People who did not manage to pass through the audition,TRY AGAIN ! :D

People that manage to pass through the first audition,congrats :D

After that,
i went to popular together with peiling to buy assesment book.
And after that i went home.
I took bus 8 to tampiness mall,
and it took me like 45mins journey just from toa payoh to tampiness.
I was bored all the way.
Alright,i am deciding whether to join campus superstar tomorrow.
It's the last day which means the last audition,
becuase too many people joining and tomorrow is the last day opening for all of the students.
pimple face ):

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUIYAN !
happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to huiyan,
happy birthday to you.

Alright,i am here to update once again.
Let me talk about tuesday,6march.
I can say that it was a terrible morning.
Because we are late for our PE lesson,
and we had to run to touch the front gate for 2 times.
Everyone was breathless somehow,
and we had to hold our legs in 90 degree straight,
and if one of them puts down their leg,
it will be added 30 seconds more.
It was unbearable lah,and yet some students in my class were still smiling all the way.
We had our legs straight for about 7min,
and every min seem to past veri slow.
I could only bear the pain,
stare at the blue sky and see the clouds moving.
The floor were so hard that my back hurts alot.
After the ' torture ' ,
we had went to dance studio for our individual gymnastic test.
When it was my turn,
alot of my classmates saying that i am so thin like a bamboo stick ok !
Alright,after gymnastic test.
Just right before we are got to release for recess,
someone in my class had shouted vulgarities !
I think it is a misunderstanding,
because me and my friend did not heard of anyone saying vulgarities.
The teacher was so angry,
that it make the whole class down in pumping position.
Released back to class,change to uniform..
watching the time is alr 10.26am,
we have no recess at all ):
I was hungry -
Seriously,why does teacher alwaes blame the whole class where it is just 1 or 2 person's fault.
Teacher alwaes said that they take it as a whole class.
So what? there are still innocent people out there !
And all get punished with no reasons at all,rubbish ~

Forget it then,
today i am goin to blog about international debate.
Went to school in the morning,
and it is the day where teacher's are to released the report books to students.
I was worried in the sense that maybe i did not perform well for term 1.
But there's no point,
because the results is already been printed out and it is the final.
The only thing i could do is to stay positive as what jmo said.
Look forward,don't look backward because it is the past.
My maths,
alright i got to admit i scored sucky results.
Even though i am in the border line pass,
i am still gonna work harder to my target marks.
But as for the other subjects,
i can still improve on it but i am quite satisfied :D
Went home,
have shower,lunch,dinner and went back to school in the evening at 6.30pm to have international debate.
Lots of laughter in the bus,
and we are on our journey to westwood secondary in jurong.
We are cheering for our friends,
and the topic is political problems if i am not wrong.
I heard karina saying that they had research all other countries political problems,
as well as singapore.
And they only have 1 week preparation time,
to do all the research and etc.
The teacher incharge was worried that there were traffic jam,
so we set off early.
But we reach westwood secondary like 1 hour before the debating time.
And all the debaters were using their time wisely by praticing their speech.
Karina seem to be really dissapointed,
because she told me this is the first time she participate in debate competition,
and it is the first time that the topic was difficult.
Other teachers,students had also agreed that the topic is difficult.
But while,don't be sad yea?
I heard we just lost by 1 point.
You guys had done us proud by doing ur best.

Some photos i took during the debate :

The debating room.

Chairman and the time keeper.

Yuying secondary : opposition

The opponent : proposition.

The judge explain to the debaters why they lost.

After international debate competition in westwood secondary,
some of us dropped at kovan mrt station,
and we went to tangerine and have our supper.
We had a veri good chat,
especially me chatting with karina (:
We spent at tangerine for about 1 hour,
and we went macdonals to have our fries.
And a moment later,
it is not early and everyone had went home.
Reached home,
had been staring at the computer screen for awhile..
and i went to my bed and sleep ! (:
Hahahaa,
i am looking forward because we would probably be the next batch of students going for debate competition.

Some photos taken in tangerine :
