Saturday. Gb.

It's finally worth it!

Badges! Woo Hoo!

Drill stage 2 badge.

7 badges in all.

7 badges plus one rainbow bookmark.

I apologise if it is too shiny!

Hahaha.

Cooling Night. P.S: A lengthy post but nice. Enjoy!~

It is drizzling now. So cooling. So refreshing. Ooh. Ahh.
Well, let's begin!
Yesterday, I did intend to blog but however did managed to do so.
So, let me just fill you in with what happened yesterday.
I will try my best because I kinda have short-term memory.
One significant thing that happened yesterday was that Ms Lee announced that there will not be any banding.
Erm.
40% Glad but 60 % worried.

40%:

20% glad because she is known for helping students to ace their exams.
20%  glad because she is strict which can force me to do my assignment and hand in on time.

60% :

30% worried because i bet the past years students did well because of the banding. And because banding can help the different abilities students to cope with their language.In another words, it means that the specific mentor can adjust her teaching pace, skill , standard and etc to suit the needs of her students.

20% worried because I afraid that she is teaching too fast/I can't understand the lesson which will result her to lose me at somewhere.

10% unhappy because I can tell that she look down on the Band 4 students. How I know? Well, you can just tell even Ee Eng (EE) can tell. You just will realise it from her actions, words.

I think the above paragraphs are the summary of yesterday.

I think I really have serious short-term memory because after typing about yesterday, I forgot what have I done today.

Haiz.

Ok. Recovering memory.....

Erm. I am back.

Well, today is quite a fine day though it rained several times today.

Maybe I will just highlight a few key pts.

During El, We were told to do group work for the vocabulary. And in the we need to present our work to the class. I was grouped with JW, EE and zitong. After discussion, Ms Lee then asked us who is going to present. Almost without hesitant, EE pointed her finger at me. Hence, I agreed since I could make use of the chance to practice my oral skill. Then guess what? Ms Lee then make it a point to say " Make sure you know what you are talking about. " See? That's what I called looking down. Does she meant that I would be lost and don't even know what I am talking about? This is just what an old man will behave ok? Or rather a very aged old man. However, I understand that different people will have different reaction towards Ms Lee say. So, why don't you leave a message at the tag board and tell me what you feel?

Well, that's all for happenings in school.

Went back home and as usual let me talk about the highlights only due to strength constraints ( my word. Hahaha)

Ok. I went back home and read the C.S.I. A very nice and interesting read. I would strongly recommend the book it can definitely help you to boost your writing skill and inference skill (because you can read their process of investigation.

I watched the Barbie movie broad casted at Okto. Super hilarious because they even include NG videos( Barbie's movie hardly have NG. Though not that I watched many) They main male character was funny because he looked nerd and well, not that good looking.

Spent quite a lot of time watching variety shows and dramas. Then saw an advertisement trying to sell their product( soy sauce if I remember correctly.) Know what? Their brand's name is Oki which means mole and I mean the mole that can be punctuated on your face. Haha.What a name!

Well, I guess that's all for today.
See ya.

Alexis.

Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Wednesday Blue :/ WHATEVER.

I am feeling quite worn-out though I had slept for 2hr.

Geez.

Finished watching Secret Garden broadcasted at Channel U. 

As usual, it was nice and enriching (because of the information included about physiology).

Well, let’s begin to talk about my day at school.

Today, I received back by Diagnostic Test (DT) and guess what?

I scored 17/30.

Which is better than I expected but is worse than what I can achieve.

I scored a 19 before and I believe I will do better or should I say I MUST/determine do better.

I think that my errors are usually tenses, sentence structure and etc.

I will try to brush up my skills.

Another thing is that Ms Lee told us that we might not be banded because:

No 1. There is a shortage of mentors

No 2. We did equally bad for the DT.

However, that is just a possibility (50%).

Ms Lee was instructed to teach at the Band 1 and 2 standards.

I was quite worried about it.

The reason is that I can’t really catch up her pace. (She said that she can tell who has a hard time following her methods which I think I am one of them.)

Also I am more comfortable with the Band 4 standard.

However, I need someone like Ms Lee to drill me to do work and ensure that I hand in my assignment punctually.

Yet, is it too much from her.

I always worried whether have I done the hw? Have I bring what is told?

And etc..

PS: There is a drop in a standard of my language for yesterday’s post and today’s post.

I apologise for that and promise to do better next time ;)

Regards

Alexis

Cold and alone.

Today is super cold. I am shivering while typing.
Geez.
I had read Jw's blog and was super glad that she finally posted plus she actually ENJOYED it.
Well, I am recalling what I have done for the whole day.
The answer is ______________.
Apparently,  the day had gone by in a breeze.
I was busy with homework and stuff like that.
Gosh, I am stuck.
Usually, I just type as long as I can and it will be around three paragraphs long.
Gosh, what's wrong with me!

Anyway, I find that life now is kinda stressful as my schedule is very packed.
I need to cope with homework, need to cope with my coursework and need to cope with doing revision.
It is not easy, to be truthful.

Another thing is that, today, another person dropped Art.
We started off with 7 and ended up in 5.
Nobody knows whether will there be a further decrease.

I am having a headache.
And I need to do my work.
I apologise from writing so short.

I will write more tomorrow.

Regards,
Alexis.

A relaxing song to share

Just spend a few minutes and listen to this.

You will find it refreshing. :)

HDB Learning Journey:)

Today went to the Housing Development Board(HDB) building to walk around their gallery.
Well, I got to know more about the HDB , their packages and so. I also got my hands on some really interesting gadgets/ electronics devices. It was an eye-opener for me. I was accompanied by JiaWen and had a really fun time though it was small place and it just lasted for an hour or so.
NICE. I would encourage people to visit there because you are going to be fascinated to what you see.
Furthermore, We had free time to walk around the building. While others went to the nearby shopping mall, Jw and I decided to pop back to the gallery to try out games we didn't get a chance to try previously.
Plus, We even took photos (3)  at the gallery. It was superb!
It even sent the photos to my mail add.
Saw it just now and thought that the picture was kinda making me LOL.
Still, it was quite a nice shot as it was my very first time taking pics with JW.
JW hardly take pictures.
BUT
with me the postive infulence( she thinks I am )
she went along and took a couple of shots with me.
It was indeed a fun and enjoyable trip.
Rating:***and 1/2 out of five stars.
Managed to see clay tiles done by the HDB staff.(NICE!)

After that, JW and I went to learn from our friends on how to fold paper flower( I managed to fold 3)
Forgot to mention, it was for the elderly we will be visiting tomorrow for S-L project.

Hereby attached the photos and I will update you very soon again.

Have a Nice Day!

Regards,
Alexis.

Oops. Not a nice one for me.

JW, can you look at the camera?

Test drives me insane!

I am so vexed.Seriously.

Today I had 3 test plus 1 surprise test which we were totally not inform.
Firstly, I got the English diagnostic test which I think that I had done badly.
The question I chose to attempt was: Write about a phone call that caused a day's plan to be cancelled.
Something like that.
I written about my dad who was travelling overseas and finally arranged a day to come back home for a visit. However, it was ruined when an urgent meeting of his crop out and he had to cancelled the flight.
I did that i really did badly.
Mostly because that I didn't write a lot of desciptive phrases.
Plus, I felt that my work looked written by a primary school kids.
Failure.
Another thing is that I didn't really check through my work because Ms Lee said that we should start checking at 10 but sue to the majority( already finished their work) She collected at 10 and I suppose I am the last one handling up.
Failure x 2.
Furthermore, what's worse is that my story line is almost the same as Jia Wen.
Unbelivable!
But still I will expect to see a drastic different of marks between mine and hers.
I think that I will be band into band 4(last band) ONCE AGAIN.

I felt so disappointed. I thought taht I told myself that I can going to prove myself to Ms Lee that I am not a so called" Band 4 -standard"

Haiz, I guess i really failed to do so.

I was so vexed about this that I could not motivate myself to do my work.

Second test was Chemistry Test.

Well, I don't feel like talking about that.

So, SKIP>

Third test was Social Studies test which is alos the surprise test, I mentioned earlier.

DIFFICULT but managed to finish it before Ma lessons start.

Fourth test was maths test on probability.

That was fine though.

I can't imagine myself spending my year having 4 tests a day. How tiring and disapointing.

Fortunately, from tomorrow to friday. We won't have any lessons as the sec 2s and 3s will be going to camp.

Or shall I say unfortuntely, because I got so many talks to attend in exchange for lessons.

But still, I appreciate the break given.

I LOVE BLOG!

It makes me relax as I can speak about my problems.

It is definitely an excellent platform for me to share my day.

That's all for today.

Hibernating Alexis.
