Spirit
We had a motivational programme on thursday and wednesday. It had been really fun. Day 2 included us playing a puzzle game and I went for the mother tongue oral halfway through the game. I heard that my group lost, and they needed to do the forfeit, which was a dance, and, surprisingly, the whole class went to join in the forfeit. I wasn't there, so i couldn't feel anything about it, but i hope i was, because it was my group who lost afterall, and not being there to do the forfeit together didn't feel very good. I've never thought much about this, but our class really have some great class spirit, which was proven throughout this 2-days programme. Hugs, touching words, comfort, laughters, and willingness to get "punished" together. It would've been of great pity if anyone wasn't there. But i think everyone was present.
To be honest, throughout my secondary 4 life so far, i haven't really thought that i was important to anyone. Actually, i still don't feel so now, but at least i know people do care. Like melvin, who directly told me that i was one of his closer friends, which actually made me very happy, though i didn't show it, and natalie, who quickly noticed that i was feeling down. And through this camp, i've actually gained self-esteem and some sort of self-worth. I've actually learnt to stop hiding my dreams and express it. It was an invaluable camp. I truly loved it.
So,
I've actually wrote two poems about my two routes that i'm choosing between for my future.
Just a few days ago, i was feeling rather upset with something unknown for making me not have any passion no matter how hard i try to find it, but i eventually noticed it. I boiled down to choosing between an actor and a secondary school humanities teacher. Still haven't decided yet, but for poly i'm definitely going into ngee ann's film, sound, media.
Anyway, this post is kind of jumbled up.
Chinese Oral
Reading:
I could actually read the words well, but i couldn't read with confidence. I stuttered a lot no matter whether i tried to read emotively or robot-like, so in the end i've decided that marks could be saved if i've read emotively, and i did the last minute. Not going to score well.
Conversation:
This was a different story. I am extremely confident of this section because i managed to pick out some hints from the examiner's expressions that i'm scoring quite well, and i've followed the format, and i agree with what i've said even up till now. To be honest, i can't really find any flaw in my conversation (my heart is so going to break into millions of pieces if i find out that i've scored badly for this part). Maybe i'm over-confident.
Motivational Camp
Day 1. Learnt about enduring success, fear, focus, goal setting, time management, and having study buddies. Played games like stacking up card houses, untangling our hands blindfolded, stuffing things into plastic bags, and preventing each other from being pulled away.
Day 2. DISC profiling, learning styles, notes taking (which i missed), memorising techniques, preparation for o`levels.
That's all. Anyway, something i've almost forgotten:
Happy Birthday, Artika! :D
