During my CCA, which is Angklung, we learnt many things. We learnt how to play the song, Singapura. We had to hit, or shake the Angklung. Next week, we need to make something like hit, shake,hit, shake. My CCA teacher said that when she went somewhere, she went to Mcdonald's but the waiter could not understand what she was saying. When she wanted cheese burger, she would shake, hit hit. She used her angklung to tell the waiter what she wants like coke, ice cream sundae, french fries and apple pie. We also had to guess what she played. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Dear Journal,

I am sooo elated! I am chosen to go to celebrate Children's day! But it is not just anywhere,it is a school where kids with special need go to. I really REaLLY feel that I am just so happy that I have been growing up healthily and I could understand how they feel, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, I twisted my right elbow and the bone seperated, It felt horrible and painful. I need to write with my left hand for more than six months and carry things with my right after 7~8months. I thought I was to do all this stuff alon but I was wrong. My friends stayed back with me and supported me. My teachers helped me writing with my left hand. My family cheered me up. I hope alot of love from everyone and I want them to also feel the love around them. They are wonderful kids just like us. We should not look down on them.

I am very scared because Mr. Wan said Miss Tay's MA paper is VERY hard! And algebra WILL help alot! But.. I am not still sure how to balance the equation. And I will get confused sometimes! Who knew algebra was that hard to understand? But what I felt happy was ORAL!(again) For reading the Passage, I raised up my hands UP high but Mdm Maisarah did not choose me. For the picture, NO one raised up thier hands! I didn't write a script or anything becasue in the real exam, there isn't time to write one! So I practiced and thought of the opinions and suggestions and conclusion, that is it. But did I reach Mdm Maisarah's expectation? I didn't think so, so I didn't raise up my hand. Mdm Maisarah said," No one?... Really NO one? okay, hundred points off the group, MICHELLE read." I was not shock as my sixth sense told me that 50% Mdm Maisarah will choose me. I read for a VERY long time as usual but paused sometimes. I thought if I gave the score it would be 7/10, bu when I ended, she suddenly said," 10, one of the BEST I ever heard!"((:

Dear Journal,

Today Mr. Wan shown us a side of his that I wished I won't have to see this whole year. He was in a very bad mood today when he came inside the hall so I was very scared. I always say Mr. Wan's face and predict he will get easily angry on that day and that day finally came. He was angry first because he did not hear us sing the NE song and National Enthen loud and clear. I did not know what was happening as Esmond, Yu Rong, Roy, Ivan and I sang all the songs loud and clear. ~sigh~ If only he came to the center and listened to us sing as we sat in the center. But we all must sink together. Then, fingernal checking! I always had short fingernails because every 3~5 days, I will make sure I have short fingernails as my mum said that it will trap dirt and germs. But I am pretty glad we get to face that part of him otherwise we won't know the true him! I asked my sister and she told me that that is not part of his angry side! I ain't seen anything yet!

Dear Journal,

On Saturday, it was a new start for my father. Because he has step down from teaching tuition in the church, but he will be teaching at home. For a start, he will be teaching three students. he started preparing in the morning. Me and my brother helped a lot. We took the new folderble table and set it up. My father, already bought and new marker which cost $4.50 as the ink is white. He wanted to use magnet to stick black background on the window and use the white marker. We searched high and low for a black paper but we could not find it. I went to a 'MaMa' shop near my house to find majong paper. My father went to elias to find vanguard sheet. But both of us bought the wrong things. My father asked me to scan some math questions for them while he settle the rest. When I was printing the paper, I saw that it was a used paper and I pressed my hand on it. And thewhole printer jammed. My father fixed it after a while and It could be used again. When I went for my badminton training, I saw that the tuition was over already. And I saw my grandmother applying oil on my father's forehead. She told me that he had a headache while teaching. I hope he will get better.

In the holidays, my family and I joined a field trip organised by the RC. This field trip enables us to go to places where you cannot normally go. The three places we went were the Road Safety Park, the Gardenia bread factory, the Singapore Coins and Mint museum and the URA. We first went with the school. But this time, there will be no Warderns and Officers! There are also lesser people than when I went with the P5s, so it means that more people can ride the go-cart! I was one of them and I went top speed and one time drifted! Because my brother doesn't know that he can't skip stations, he skipped the first station and went on the the next. When he realized he made a mistake, he needed to do a detour! At one point, my brother was near me and he used his wheels to go against mine! my go-kart went onto the kerb! When we went to the Gardenia bread factory, we saw all the machines at work. The one that most impress me is the bread cooler. It was so big that it can old 8000 breads for 8 hours! The factory is very hot and we were not allowed to go to the factory where they made the muns as I think they can't let the public see the ingredients they used. The whole factory is also usually out of bounds to the public and that's why this trip is very educational. After that, we went to the Coins and Mint museum. I found out that the didn't carve the drawings on the coin, they use very high pressure topush the drawings ont the coin. When we went to the URA, we saw how Singapore was planned for the next 10 years. I have the praise these architectures who were well-prepared for the future Signapore! Like what the NE message says: We have confidence in our future. I am glead that we have achieved these and are ready for all the upcoming difficulties for us.

Hi guys,

Here is something on the A-10 based on my last presentation.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force to provide close air support of ground forces by destroying tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with limited air interdiction capability. It is the first US Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.

In the Vietnam War, there were only helicopters used for close air support, backed by some F-4 Phantoms. They were ineffective in close air support as their weapons were not potent enough to destroy hard targets, such as tanks. So, after the Vietnam War, the USAF proposed the project A-X, a proposal on an attack aircraft that is able to have massive firepower, high low-speed maneuverability, long loiter time and extreme survivability. These attributes were best in the Illyushin Il-2, Henschel Hs 129 and Douglas A-1 Skyraider.

Two companies were selected to build prototypes of their own designs, Fairchild Republic and Northrop. Their prototypes were the YA-10 and YA-9 respectively. They competed until the USAF chose the YA-10 for production. They were designed to be permanently loaded with the 30mm GAU-8 Avenger gatling gun but in the competition they were loaded with the 20mm M-61 Vulcan.

Holidays is over and school have started again. That means that we would have to study again. During the holidays, I did not go overseas and some far places around Singapore as it is only 1 week of holiday which is too short. It was also very boring at home as I had nothing to do, only 4 days of badminton trainings, 2 hours each make me go out to do some sports. The training was also not tough. We almost played matches during every session unlike the usual training which we need to do warm-up, then agility, followed by some feeding and sometimes we even need to do some pity. We only did agility and a bit of feeding during the holiday trainings. It was really relaxing. On one of days, we went to MacPherson Primary School for a friendly match. The school is located at Eunos. (I think, not sure) The juniors played 15 matches and lost 8, won 7. However, we the seniors played 12 matches and lost 7, won 5. (I think, too long time already) It was really fun.

Comments: Publish! I don't think many know how tiring the CCA badminton is.

Group 5E4's CCA is badminton. The first lesson turned out quite bad, but then second lesson was really fun! My serving is still pretty bad, so i have to practise on it. We even got a 1 to 1 match and i v.s. Roy! Surprisingly, that was the first time the shuttlecock actually went over the net when i served! But then when he hit back, it was really high so i couldn't reach it =P. Today we had health education instead of music, i really loved the music lessons =( After school at 4p.m. i went to the void deck near Blk 517. I practised serving with YiWen ^^ She's like my teacher, she taught me how to hold the racket and position the shuttlecock so that i would not miss. After practising for a while, i improved alot and could finally serve. =) Im looking forward to the next CCA session next Tuesday, i hope it would be loads of fun. I'm glad now i know how to play basketball and badminton.
Publish! You're lucky to have friends like YiWen.

Hi! During the September 1 week school holiday, I went to Pulau Tekong to attend my cousin's passing out parade. First we took a bus from Pasir Ris bus interchange to the Army ferry terminal. We took a ferry from there and it was a double-decker! We sat on the second level. There was a TV and a cockroach behind my second cousin's seat. He used his ferry ticket to hit it and chase it away. We looked out of the window and saw water all around us. When we reached the campsite, the security was tight. They would check your belongings and make you walk through a scanner. When we reached the parade square, we were hungry. Luckily they gave everyong a goodie bag with mineral water and biscuits. There was tissue paper as well. We ate biscuits and some snacks that my mum had brought along the trip. My uncle bought snacks from Pulau Tekong that was unfamiliar to me. We watched the show happily. I hope I can go again, but it will be my turn to be enlisted in the ARMY!!! Ooh, so scary!BYE!!!

This is for the english oral.. Maybe u wanna read it.

Misbehaving (in school uniform)
People should not misbehave in the public as it does not reflect well on them. Doing so will show that their parents/ teachers did not incalcate the right values in them. Since they are in their school uniform, misbehaving in the public will tarnish the school's reputation. I suggest that the school discipline master should give the pupils demerit points or reprimand them for doing so.

Behaving well
Behaving well in the public will leave yourself a good reputation and also shows that parents/teachers have incalcated the right values in them. It would also demonstrate a good example to younger kids.

Cleanliness
The floor looks very clean and it seems that the Janitors/cleaners have done a good job in cleaning the area. They should keep up the good job in cleaning the area. They should keep up the good job so that everyone can enjoy this clean environment. Everyone should also do a part in keeping the place clean by throwing rubbish in the bin.

Dirty
The floor looks very dirty as many people have littered and Janitors have not done a good job. A dirty place attracts insects such as cockroaches that can bring viriuses. We should keep the place clean for everyone to enjoy and keeping the environment clean is our responsibility and we should keep our reputation as being a garden city by doing so.

Not paying attention in class
The boys are chatting together and they seem to be oblivious to the things happening in the class. i think they should pay attention in class as the teacher might be saying something important and they might miss it out. Chatting in class in also rude to the teacher and will disrupt the other pupil's concentration. The boys should chat after school, during recess or before school, they should learn to do the right thing at the right time.

I came across this article in The Straits Times yesterday. It's a beautiful piece of story written by Chew Chia Shao Wei of Raffles Girls' School. She won first prize in this year's Commonwealth Essay Competition. Shao Wei, 15, won in Class A, for students aged 16 to 18.

I believe different people will interpret the story differently. Let me know how you felt after reading.

I am your friend now, rock...
By Chew Chia Shao Wei

THERE was something vaguely sad about the rock. It was as old as it looked, standing weathered and lonely amidst the stretch of sand, and its thoughts were quiet as it listened to the waves.

The wide unconquerable sea touched the edges of the land like a curious animal in the way it rolled forward eagerly onto the shore. It left the land unwillingly, pulling as it went, grasping for what it could. The sand in the shallow water swirled.

The sea was no stranger to the rock on the beach. The sea came often to the rock, rushing up wetly against its warm grey, and always as it swept away it took an infinitesimal part of the rock with it. The rock had known the waves for a long time, and learned it was in its nature to erode.

One day, the sunlight on the rock was interrupted by a brief darkness in the blurred shape of a bird. The rock, interested, observed the bird winging its way uncertainly about the sky, then landing, presently, on the very rock that wondered about it.

'Where am I?' said the bird, largely to itself, as it gripped the surface of the dark grey rock with its feet and peered out at the sea.

'What are you?' countered the rock.

'I am a bird,' said the bird in surprise.

'You are a rather rude sort of bird,' the rock pointed out calmly. 'I was enjoying the sun when you came and blocked some of it from me.'

Birds exist for a very short while in comparison to rocks, and have less time to develop the exceptional serenity that rocks possess. The bird hopped from one foot to another, flapping its white wings in annoyance.

'You are a big, stupid rock!' the bird cried, its beak clicking irately. 'Funny you should feel so important, when one of these days you will have been reduced by the sea to a tiny grain of sand!'

'Yes,' agreed the rock, surprising the bird yet again, 'I shall feel rather sad when that day comes.'

'Wait, no - you are confusing me - we are in the middle of an argument!'

'I made a comment, and you responded rather explosively, after which I shared with you a private thought in concurrence with something you had said. That was not an argument at all.'

The bird paused mid-hop, disgruntled. 'Well, you are a very well-spoken rock,' it conceded, 'and not at all stupid; I'm sorry.'

The rock hummed peaceably in response and returned to its own thoughts. The bird, feeling wholly ignored, allowed itself to settle down on its newfound perch, and examined mentally the conversation that had just taken place.

Some time passed before the bird spoke again, hesitantly, as if now remembering its manners and unwilling to intrude upon the rock again.

'Rock, will you truly end up one day as nothing more than a grain of sand?'

'I expect so,' the rock rumbled. 'The sea works at me constantly, you know.'

'Is that awfully sad?' asked the passionate bird, who, while given to tempers, was intrinsically kind-hearted.

'Only to those who care,' the rock admitted, 'only to me.'

The bird was deeply moved by this, by the loneliness of the rock and the seeming inevitability of its fate. The bird considered the situation, and felt it must do something to aid the rock. Although their acquaintance had gotten off to a bad start, the bird found it rather liked the warm, rough rock, and was unwilling to leave it alone to the hunger of the sea.

'I care,' volunteered the bird, 'I will do something to help you, rock, if you will let me.'

'No,' said the rock, laughing in a way that did not mock the bird. 'Don't waste your time.'

But the bird had found a cause.

'I am your friend now, rock,' it said, and the rock was touched.

'You are just a bird,' the rock said, 'and you will be able to do nothing.'

The bird did not disagree. 'I will try.'

Over the next few days, the bird tried a variety of ways to get the rock out of harm's way. It started with simple pushing, which had proved futile, and progressed to increasingly creative ideas. On the eighth day, the bird had looped several lengths of seaweed around its friend, in the hopes of being able to pull it further up the shore.

The rock had never observed with much significance the passing of the days, and entire years blurred in its long memory, but this had been a week that would stand out forever. The frustration, the laughter, and the gratitude that the rock had experienced along with the bird would be preserved as colour images amidst a wash of sepia recollections.

The time had come, however, to begin to dissuade the bird of its altruistic notions, lest it exhaust itself with the efforts of the fruitless undertaking.

Bird was picking the rope of seaweed up in its mouth for the seventh time that day when the rock addressed it.

'I do thank you for your efforts,' it began, 'but I am beginning to feel that this was a hopeless enterprise. I know you have expended much energy over it, and it has not gone unappreciated, but perhaps we must stop here.'

The bird dropped the end of the seaweed and made to protest, but the rock would not allow it.

'You have been a faithful friend, but it seems that here I am and here I will remain. The sea works slowly, and I have much time left yet. One day, I will be sand on the beach, but the idea does not bother me so much now.'

The rock did not add that through getting to know the bird, it had realised exactly how much more ephemeral was the life of the bird, and begun to feel selfish for being unsatisfied with the idea of eventually ending up a small grain of sand.

'Let us abandon this pursuit, and instead look to happier things,' the rock ended, hoping to mollify the bird. In truth, it was unsure that the bird, now robbed of his cause, would stick around for much longer, and the thought made it feel a shiver of unhappiness.

The bird, wordlessly, began the task of unwrapping the seaweed it had covered the rock in. There was resignation in its wingtips. When it had finished, it glanced at the rock with which it had spent eight sun-drenched days, then flapped slowly into the distant sky.

The rock watched it go.

The beach was blanketed by night when the rock once again felt the feet of the bird sharp against its surface.

'I am sticking around,' the bird told the rock, 'so you won't forget me, even when you are just a grain of sand.'

The rock said nothing, but it was happy.

The years moved on, then, like they always had. The rock stayed in the same place even as the world changed around the little beach, and the bird, going off frequently on expeditions to see the world, returned always to the rock it had met so long ago.

'Tell me a story,' the rock asked the bird once, as it landed lightly.

'But you are so old and wise, no story would interest you,' teased the bird. It was older now, and it knew ever so much more about the world.

The rock chuckled, and the bird complied. 'I will tell you about the strange things I saw the last time I flew past these cliffs...'

Sometimes, it was the bird that asked for the story.

'The earth was young once,' the rock would begin, in a vivid story of the colours of the wind.

And always, imperceptibly, the years moved on - like they always had.

One morning, a long, long time from the day the bird and the rock had first met, the rock was abruptly aware of a different quality to the day. There was something in the air, maybe, or something about the sea, or the sand - the rock was uncertain, but something was different and wrong. The colours felt wrong, for instance, the sky felt green and the sand was turning white, and the sea when it touched the rock felt hot and cold and hot again.

'Bird...'

That was a strange thing for the rock to do, for it never spoke aloud when it was alone. But it called out anyway, tentatively, 'Bird... Bird...'

The word was snatched away by the wind, but it seemed to echo in the dark beach. The rock was very still, and began to feel something it had never before felt: fear. It spread slowly and coldly like the pink sun rising softly over the horizon, and the rock found that it knew that its friend the bird had died.

'How and why,' the rock murmured numbly to itself, to the sand, to the sea. 'How and why and how and why and why. Goodbye, goodbye, oh, goodbye.' So saying, it slipped gently asleep.

The bird never returned, just as the rock never again expected it to. The rock became silent once more, unused to conversation as it had once been. Its thoughts were numerous but never aired now, and frequently, it thought of its dearest friend, the bird.

As for the years, they moved on like they always had, and the world changed around the rock, just like the world was wont to.

Centuries passed, and there was something vaguely sad about the rock that was as old as it looked, standing weathered and lonely amidst the stretch of sand. And as it listened to the waves, it thought of the sun on its surface, and the bird-shaped shadow that fell just so across the warmth, warmer than the sun itself.

Here is the list of students whom I think had put in tremendous efforts in August:

1) Bryana, Yi Ying, Claudia, De Kai, Yun Ling, Beatrice, Yi Wei, Gerald
These pupils were among those who tried again for the LIFE presentation and carried themselves well in August. They deserve it for persevering.

2) Hannah
For an outstanding LIFE presentation despite being absent and lacking in rehearsal. Your performance is amazing!

3) Lydia
For standing up against your own group for what's right. You have shown the class the deeper meaning of integrity. On top of that, your LIFE presentation was flawless or simply the best in 5D.

4) Cherilyn, Zhi Shuang and Pei Qi
For showing the most improvement in your LIFE presentation. Compared to your previous presentation during APBL, there was a remarkable improvement in your presentation. I could see so much efforts put in. I've got to take my hat off for you.

5) Justin and Michelle
For displaying your best again during LIFE presentation. Particularly Justin for overcoming your weaknesses in APBL presentation to come up with such a fine LIFE presentation.

6) Esmond
For putting in so much effort in your group, helping them in gaining every single point. Also for asking your dad to volunteer for the Science Centre trip and showing such a positive learning attitude in class.

7) Sherrell, Zi Jun and Cassilda
For involving yourselves in organising activities for the class. I know there are others involved but their names have been mentioned earlier. There was better control of the class behaviour this time and less conflict. Thanks for trying despite the negative feedback from some of your friends earlier on.

The girls in 5D showed more initiative, team work and fighting spirit in August. I hope to see more boys going the extra mile for the class.

Best wishes,
Mr Wan

Dear 5D pupils,

It's a little late but I'd like to offer my gratitude for your Teachers' Day surprise.

I'm moved by the efforts and your inclusion of appreciation shown to Mdm Maisarah.

It was a pleasant surprise you've installed for us. The blindfold was fine, so Michelle, you don't have to apologise for anything.

The gifts were very heart-warming, particularly the messages in the cards and especially self-made cards. 3 cards in particular left a deeper mark in me: Yi Zhe's, Cassilda's and undoubtly, the class card with everybody's signature.

I was having a sore throat for almost a week and only recovered yesterday but still on medication. It wasn't that comfortable teaching with a sore throat. I'm just glad the lessons on electricity went smoothly.

Thanks for showing concern and appreciation.

I hope you'd show the same kind of gratitude to your parents, friends and future teachers.

Once again, thank you for everything. You're a bunch of great students.

Yours sincerely,
Mr Wan

My favourite pokemon is Mewtwo. It was the product of
years of genetic engineering experiments carried out by a scientist.
Due to the trauma it went through during the experimentation,
Mewtwo became extremely vicious,powerful and unstoppable.It uses its
psychic powers to prevent other pokemon to attack or harm it.

1 more day to go! How I hope there was no Thursday and go straight to Friday! On Friday this week, 5 Courage and 5 Diligence are going to have a 'Rice Fair'! It is all about rice. We had just come to the end of the Language Literature Programme about the 'Sing to the Dawn' award-winning book. Why is it all about rice? Simply because the whole storybook is telling us about Thailand's rice fields and how hard villagers had to work to plant rice. We will be setting up 5 booths, mainly quiz and explanations about some work we had done for this Language Literature Programme that will be displayed. Some of us are also preparing some dishes regarding rice and will be explaining about the dish. According to Mdm Maisarah, the fair would be held from 9:30am to 10:30am for the 2 recesses. 5 Diligence would be on duty from 9:30 am to 10am and 5 Courage would be on duty from 10am to 10:30am. I am really looking forward to this fair.

Comments: Publish! I'm curious about the fair too.

Okay. It was strange that the journal entries jumped from 29th July 2009 to 2 September 2009 but because the page fell off. I was so scared today, as there is a music assessment on SINGING, MEANS that we have to perform in front of our friends. Luckily my group was one of the last 4 groups, so it wasn't that bad with little friends to see our dance. When my group (Michelle, Xiu Juan. Hannah and I) were practising during recess, it was tough. We keep making lots of mistakes, and making sure NO one was watching us (except when the security guard saw us, she thinks we are crazy, HAHA) When we heard noises, we quickly pretended to be seeing something. Finally recess ended, we all went back to class-Phew!

Comments: Publish! How's the singing assessment anyway?

Another week has passed again! How time flies. Today we had an interesting Debate on the book, 'Sing to the Dawn'. We debated about why Dawan should or should not go to the city school to study. The girls being Dawan and boys being Kwai. It was fun, that we are like shouting to each other-or rather to Mdm Maisarah. After that, we debated whether 'we' should go to the barbecue party or study for the test that was upcoming tomorrow. Given that 'we' (the girls and boys) are twins, 'we' are supposed to go everywhere together. if today is Friday, and today is the last day of school, in the evening there will be a barbecue party, but the other twin wanted to study for the test, as the test is very important. It was really fun. I hope we will have more of this kind of games again.

Comments: Publish! I believe there is more to come. Your journal's getting more & more interesting.

This week, nothing interesting to say-almost. For this term(maybe) Mdm Maisarah will be focusing on the book 'Sing to the Dawn' for Literature. I think it was fun, and the book was really interesting. And it tells about the story of a girl fighting for her education where the girl is Dawan. She got first in an exam which gives free education in the city, well, they live in villages, so the city must be something fascinating for them. Unfortunately, her brother, Kwai, got second. The ending was happy, Dawan finally got to the city to study. A few interesting things we had done so far, was the making of Dawan's village and the crossword puzzle, I hope there are more interesting things coming up the following weeks.

Comments: Publish! It's a great book. Did you catch the animation on the story?

Last week was International Friendship Day! The theme this year is: Getting to know ASEAN. We played games from around the world. Well, we only played ONE game which was "Capture the Flag'. It was, um,fun. Our class won ONE game-at least. We played for 30 minutes. It was quite difficult as Courage also did not make any moves. It was at last when someone from our class ran into Courage's territory. Zi Jun is caught but when Hannah ran in and rescued her, Zi Jun took the chance and there! She took the flag!!! Unfortunately, we played this game-only. I wanted to play more games. We had to complete worksheets about the day. I saw information from different countries. The best thing of all, no lessons except Chinese. Yay!!!

Comments: Publish! An interesting perspective on IFD.

On Thursday night, I went for my taekwondo lesson as usual. But this time, it was better, we, as in my brother and I were punctual, and there was no punishment for the whole class. It went smoothly, and the instructor told my brother and I that our first test was on 3rd October 2009. We were excited about it but at the same time scared because of failing and losing face. It is going to be held at Braddel Committee Centre (I think, couldn't remember) Just somewhere near there. The instructor who punished us was Ryan. But that day, he didn't turn up to teach us. We were relieved. The other instructor who took over from him was Mike. Great instructor, but has a very loud voice. Then, there was also this instructor, the Grand Master, what the others call him. He is very kind and his punches are very powerful. He taught us the white belt pattern and after practicing a few times, we learnt how to do it. After learning taekwondo for two months, I find it actually quite fun. There was this boy who came from our school, and also P5. Do you know him? His name is Jeremy Tu, I think.

Comments: Publish! Interesting. I've never read about how taekwondo traininng was carried out.

Today is teachers' day! Firstly, PE was REALLY great! I scored 2 points for my team and we won! Yay! We had a small party that we all got to contribute in. I was the one who drew that squid on the board...hass... I hope you like a card Mr Wan! comments:Yup! ^^
We went to the hall after the party. First performance had my favourite song! My favourite part was when Mr Wan danced. It was really funny>< We all wanted to take videos of it. Caring teachers award obviously wasn't won by Mr Wan, if we voted then it was possible! Miss Tay and Mdm Siti Aishah won! We were cheering! At night I was on MSN with Michelle, really horrible! Her computer was lagging and keep shutting down and she couldn't see my messages. >< Annoying! But we still had a short chat. Today i had LOADS of fun!!!
comments: Frankly I wouldn't win even if the whole 5D voted for me. Glad you enjoyed. ^^
