lols,so blur..and then the guitarist like the kopi uncle liddat sia

zhiqing here posting about the cheshire home visit. ahh, can't remember much of it now but i'll do my best. maybe i'll hand in another copy tomorrow as well to play safe.

the cheshire home visit was simply great. it helped me realise how many people out there who are really a lot less unfortunate than us. we were supposed to play games and interact with the people there so we split up in little groups. my 'group' consisted of me, Sarah, Samantha and Su Min. I THINK... and we sat at this little table with two residents. Me and sarah played uno stacko while su min and samantha did some colouring with the other resident. interacting with the residents wasn't as easy as i thought at could be. at times the residents just didn't seem to understand what we were saying and it got a little frustrating after awhile but surprisingly, i managed to have fun in the end anyway. i quite enjoyed our visit and hopefully we could, um, go back again another time.

was that good enough, Ms Xu? xD

and i would also like to add that i totally disagree with whatever was said for that upper secondary assembly talk yesterday. Animals give us the gift of friendship, love and generosity? i mean, we are the humans. we are the civilised and advanced race. We have emotions which are definitely stronger than these animals. Scientists test their experiments on rabbits. I say continue with what they're doing even if the rabbits die under sufferance. And yes, i am saying that the death of one species is less tragic than another. Why should we feel sorry for animals who die under the hand of humans? Why should we feel so sorry for the death of that particular rabbit? don't get me wrong here. i like rabbits. they're cute and they have nice eyes. But why should we feel sorry for their deaths when they never even feared death to begin with? animals are different from humans. Humans can feel and think and make the right decisions. Unfortunately, animals do not have that privilege. animals are regarded in this world and that's just it. that's life. and they all die for that bottle of shampoo, or perfume or any other type of human product. i say, let them die for the comfort of mankind! i may seem heartless to you but this us what i strongly believe.

2a3!!
good luck for our science test (:
smilez (:
we might have been scolded,
reprimanded,
or even punished for some reasons or matters .
but this wont hurt us .
we will still be together as one .
lets not feel sad or angry,
even rebellious thoughts wont be there .
it's either we take or throw it .
if we choose to take it,
use it wisely.
if we choose to throw it,
dunn let anyone see .
lols .
class smile always (:
world peace =]

hey Praise here to reflect on our Dim Sum Dollies trip...here it goes...

My first trip to the Esplanade to catch the show was a big BLAST for me. The show was totally hysterical and hilarious!! I think i was the only laughing loudly at my row? lols...On the contrary the show pretty much didn't reveal Singapore's history at all though it was huge success. I love the actors and actresses who acted in it. Of all the trips we had visited, the Battlebox, Bukit Chandu and to the Esplanade, it is much more better as there is alot of things to learn from the outside rather than stay in the classroom. As they say, " The world is your Classroom!!"

Though dis reflection is pretty short at least I'd spend my time on it!
Peace out,
-Praise-

EVERYONE! THE LIVE EARTH THEME VIDEO IS HERE! PLEASE VIEW IT! ITS REALLY AWESOME!
Sarah here ;)

ps: this video was posted by the help of Gavin. (thanks)

Dim Sum Dollies was a hilarious, exciting and interesting play. As su min said, I also thought that it did not really show much of Singapore's history. i was expecting to see more of the Japanese Occupation part, but sadly, we've only got like the three dollies wearing the uniform Japanese and hanging from a tree and delivering their lines.. well, that wasn't much.
Besides that, the script was cool and we had quite a lot of laughs. The music is not too bad either, for i had that Sang Nila Utama tune stuck in my head..I am now having a tough time trying to suss it out. On the whole, I thought the star of the play was Hossan Leong. I had a pretty good time laughing at his actions and witty quips.

Hats off to the cast and crew of Dim Sum Dollies!

SARAH.

Reflections..--Dim Sum Dollies

The performance was very nice as they know how to play around with Singapore's History .. The costume was very special . They have beautiful voices also :D.
Though the play is quite long , it didn't really show Singapore History so much .. That's the bad point of it. Still , i find the way they show things interesting and unexpected.
I like it a lot .

Su Min

well, i told ms xu that i've already done the reflections but haven't posted it yet. so...here goes.

the 'History Of Singapore' play was pretty good. It was interesting, funny, exhilarating, exciting, pretty sarcastic sounding, and far too educational. Sure, there were a few silly bits that deserved a good laugh. Like that bit when they were thinking of getting a British boyfriend but there were some parts when i almost fell asleep. And if you ask me, there is way too little of Hossan Leong. I mean, he's the one who really makes the audience laugh. Despite these few setbacks, i still enjoyed it. I just hope it helps improve my history grades...

CONGRATULATIONS 2A3, WE GOT 3RD FOR THE VIDEO..
KEEP IT UP GUYS!!! (:

The field trip to the Esplanade to watch the DimSumDollies was exciting and memorable. It wasthe 1st theater act i've ever seen as i always thought they were old fashioned and boring.But actually it was far better than expected.
The DimSumDollies made learning History morefun than Miss Xu's teaching by using jokes/puns/irony (no offense Ms. Xu, your teaching's great)Anyway, the DimSumDollies mostly uses local languages/slang/dialects to make sure we totallyunderstand or like the show. The downside is i was sitting to the far left and didn't get themiddle seat to get a better look at the show.
I hope that there would be a second show to continue our fun learning of Historyand be able to be present. (This is way 2 formal for my likin bt Ms. Xu has standards... i think...:) )

wanted to share something .

Please Listen
when i ask you to listen to me
and you start giving me advice,
you have not done what i have asked.
when i ask you to listen to me
and you begin to tell me why
i shouldn't feel that way,
you are trampling my feelings.
when i ask you to listen to me
and you feel you have to do something
to solve my problem,
you have failed me,
strange as that may seem.
Listen! All i ask is that you listen.
Don't talk or do - just hear me.

class .i share this cos i think its meaningful .
we need to listen ,
but all we do is talk or give comments before listening .
and we never know how the speaker is feeling .
so please do listen!!!

and please cooperate when instructions are given .
if everyone has an opinion,
there would be 41 opinions for each problem .

commenting about today's lessons .

all i cann say bout sci was its not our fault ..
it's not a chance dat he gav .
it's a mistake dat he made .
we told him "we hav art to do ."
he ans-ed "i hav things to do too ."
and now he claims he's giving us a chance .
wat rubbish .

it seems lyk he treat our words lyk air .
it passes him but he doesnt care .

i feel it's not our fault .
cos we told him before .

class dunn get sad bout this .
this is not all our fault .
it's partly his .
pls dunn push the blame all to us .
teachers might be elder dhenn us .
but we hav our rights too .
im not scolding here .
im just putting down my views .
euu might not agree ,
but euu dont niid to disagree .

ermm ..

[dhenn ink wont splash all around on his face] (:
mr pang , we bless euu (:

Today's show was exhilarating..
We enjoyed it alot..
The show was so damn freaking funny! quite diao =.=
The part where the ntuc was used,i think it was very creative.
The real NTUC should start something like this too, cool eh? (lame)
Though some of the parts were quite retarded,as in wrong,but still it was alright.
3 of us learn some stuff i guess?
Hope we have more of such trip or show.
Cya soon (:

Anyone keen on going to the zoo?
So that we can represent the animals as each of us.
For eg. Samantha= Monkey.
HAHA:)
gavin.

Aft all the napfa and stuff,it's our turn to go on the history trip.
I gotta admit both places were fun,bt i prefer bukit chandu.
but i like the guides that's at the battle box better.He talks very well erm and little funny i guess?
While we were at the battle box, thing s around there were so quiet,so there weren't much.Bt there were quite afew stories that amazed us.
And then we went to Bk Chandu. really fun there,lots of video,animation,shows and stuff.
I think many of us were inspired by Lt adnan there.What he had done was amazing, from my point of view. It's a very brave of him,and is men to go out and fight in the battlefirld with jus his hands.I understand everything better through the animation my NYP students.
Heard that only our class got to watch that(lucky us (: ,haha)
thats all

Gavin.

Woohoo! Hello, 2a3 peeps. Azira here! I'm the first one to post the reflections! Yay!

Although I have to admit, the password for the blogger is l-a-m-e...

OKAY, my reflection of my time at Chesire Home...

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

It was so much fun! I got to know a bunch of people, who, although disabled, were just like you and me. There was a real community feel to the home, and that's what I loved most about it. Everyone seemed to know each other well, and they were very friendly to us. Even though I was worried on how I was going to make conversation with them, I found that I needn't have worried at all. Everyone we passed in the hall waved to us, or said hello cheerfully. Conversation simply flowed, and I didn't even realise when it was time to leave.

The woman that my friends and I played monopoly with, Emily, was very friendly and cheerful. Although she was an adult, she spoke with enthusiasm and vigour as if she was a teenager just like the rest of us. While we were playing monopoly, (which she won - apparently, she was a whiz at that game and we were doomed to failure from the start, heehee) she kept bursting into song and making everyone giggle. Sometimes, we would join in, but otherwise we would let her have her solo.

My afternoon at Cheshire Home was an afternoon well spent, and I had a really enjoyable time there. I hope that we can return back one day to meet with some of the friends we made there.

----- ----- ----- ----- -----

That was my reflection for My Afternoon At Cheshire Home. Hope it wasn't too short, Ms Xu!

On to DAILY HAPPENINGS, which SOMEONE was supposed to update us on, but whatever... Heehee... Ahem.

This is the... fifth? Ninth? No, wait, second week of school (sorry, it just seems like it's been so looonng) and, I have to say this, we already have a lot of bad comments in the class diary. I'm sorry. Last week, the comments were tolerable because there were only two (although that is still bad), but this week, we've had one bad comment pretty much every day of the week. I don't know about today, because I didn't check yet... But still.

If this continues, Ms Soo (Su?) will ask us to stay back every day of the week so that she can check the diary. I'm sure nobody wants that, so let's all cooperate with the teachers, yeah, and not give them too hard a time?

That would totally benefit everyone, the teachers, because they don't have to bother with all that punishment crap, and continue with their lesson, the students, because the teachers won't punish us, (and we get to learn new stuff. Of course... Heehee) and not forgetting Ms Xu, so that she doesn't have to make us stay back and scold us for the comments. And us again, so that we don't have to stay back and get scolded.

ANYWAY, the thing is, if we keep quiet during class, it'll save everyone a lot of bother. So let's try that.

Moving on to other things, we just had our 2.4 run today, and I think most people passed. For the five stations yesterday, I think everyone could do it, although Chu Luo scratched her knee and elbow during the shuttle run, so she couldn't do the rest. Get better soon, Chu Luo!

I should probably write more, but I don't remember much of what happened the rest of the time, it was just a blur of classes, eating, classes, going home, etc. So I suppose nothing happened then? I don't know. If you want to contribute to the class blog, go ask Gavin for the password. x)

2a3 rocks!
