Tchoukball Carnival @ R.P

Some may ask what kind of sport is Tchoukball but some will definitely know what is it, how to play and rules of the sport. So two days before the carnival which is on the 12th Nov we had first time training for about two hours at Ping Yi Secondary School and been coach by Mr. Rezal and our teacher in-charge is Ms. Chew. To me it's a great sport compared to other kind of sports that are common among us and i get to know this sport just recently this year that same goes to some of the Mayflowerians and some Teachers. Getting familiar and being active in this sport and some of Mayflowerians actually take part in competitions recently this year.

After i get to know this sport, getting a chance to play in school then take part like this carnival which been organised by the Republic Polytechnic students. I'm soo excited whenever i get a chance to play, even taking part in competitions and continue with this sport whenever there's a chance given. As next year i will be sitting for my N level i have to cut down some of the activities ahead to focus more to my studies next year onwards and while I'm there at R.P Ms. Chew actually ask and find out for me that there's Tchoukball in Simei ITE which i really wish to go to that ITE when i graduate from Mayflower so that shows that i could continue play Tchoukball if i qualify to Simei ITE in 2011.

However, many people wish to go to Simei ITE as well, as i think it's because this ITE is a very good compared to others. But no matter what it takes, i will really gonna work very hard towards my goals and give my very best to get into Simei ITE. I believe there's a chance for me to get in but all that will also base on my studies and performance in school now. To me it's important for us to think and plan for our future so that we will not regret with all the decision we make. I think one thing that I've had learn from someone i knew is that, it's always good to think and plan for our future even if at this age of 15 years old we're thinking about our career ahead as we at least have a goals and can work towards it... =)

SLB 4D3N Camp

I went to Student Leader camp last Friday, it's four days three nights on 30th Oct-2nd Nov been held at Changi Coast Adventure. This camp or retreat of course about leadership and of course each and everyone of us do learn some new leadership qualities. On Friday school end at 10am and we SLs got to assemble outside 1E classroom at 2pm and i got four hours free time. I followed Sheryl go home as she's not done with packing her bag then i called my grandma she told me to come over to her place at Aljunied which it's very far and so i did went there, had my lunch and dad give $50 and about 12plus i left walk to mrt zoom to school and reach on time before 2pm.

So day one, as soon as i reach there mark attendance and get to know I'm in group two together with Sheryl, Wen Xi and others sadly Jasmine not in my group but wait for day two she joined our group. Then all the instructors came and we start with ice-breakers get to know each other in group two and as well as our instructor Augustine. First day for me was really very very bored that i really don't feel like doing anything. Till when we going for our lunch, i walked pass the teachers Mrs. Sidhu saw me and asked "You sick ah?" i shake my head and said "No." Even when I'm queuing for my food one the girl instructor asked me what's wrong, am i not feeling well. i told her "No, I'm fine." Then she said is it because I'm already in the holidays mood but i told her again no but i really feel bored and will try my best to get into the mood. After dinner we had opening speech conducted by our principal Mrs. Lim for few hours then supper and lights off.

Day 2, wake up, gathered for breakfast and our very first activity was the rock climbing but we got to climb with blink folded. I feel quite happy and getting into the mood early in the morning compared to day one. Excited with the land activities plus we will be having sea activity to and best part I'm no longer scared of the sea. =) After rock climbing moving on with our lunch then our next activity was improvised raft and rowed it to the sea. After all the activities we went to bathe, after bathing been punished to do, half squat, push ups, crunchers because some of them didn't tuck in their shirts and they were made to look at us while we been punished. Afterwards, we go for our dinner and had talk this time conducted by Mrs. Sidhu and then our land instructor take over. We are given map and got to think how we gonna walk from west to east the next day and i was like half asleep as I'm really very tired same as the others they're feeling very sleepy.

Day 3 Land Expedition, took my Nike waist pouch which my mum brought for me on Thursday and it's blue again. Hehe...everything also blue... =D We had our breakfast then settle down get back to our own departments as we will be walking together with our department teacher as well. I'm in Resource Department and teacher in-charge is Ms. Tang but she's not feeling well to follow us for the land expedition so Ms. Tan replace her. If i gonna talk about the expedition definitely there will be no ending but through out the expedition we do had fun, laughter and when my department walking together with other department which Ms. Suhaila is in-charge and Ms. Chew just tag along with her i suddenly find out that Ms. Suhaila became lame when she together with Ms. Chew lamest teacher. Both of them actually showed me their lame part together by doing the so called their A,B,C rep. Mygosh...I'm really speechless and just laugh about it and their reaction doing the rep really funny... Hahahas... Moving on we had our lunch at the army market then one of the sec1 guy decide to stop his journey with us there and our instructor get Chief J to pick him up and go back to the campsite. When we continue our journey, we encourage each other to keep going and we aim to reach on time. We're suppose to be back by 6pm and from our team work, we reach really on the dot at 6pm and was made to walk into the campsite holding each other hands while doing a cheer...

After that we bathe, next Student Wellness came back with Ms. Chew without Ms. Suhaila as they left Ms. Suhaila behind and i don't know how on earth that happened. Then our Camp Chief J talk to us the four group that came back earlier, she said that there's another two more group still at east coast making their way to the campsite and another group been punished by instructor Akashah i don't know why they been punished but we the four group joined them with the punishment because we believe "One for All, All for One" and then we walk back till we meet up with the group that left behind and walk back together. That night we been told that we're the first school to walk that far and also our teachers have had prepared our dinner and ice-cream for us. Then some others SLs and myself pack our bag to go home sweet home that night as some got lessons or personal reasons.

After all this is my last time going for SL's camp as next year will be my last year in Mayflower and will be sitting for my N level. Thought first day i feel very bored but i believe I've had learn lots of leadership qualities which will definitely help me in future to be a great leader ahead or at least help me to discipline myself. Soon, i will feel that my time in Mayflower Secondary is very fast and time really flies fast. Of course i can't deny it that i will definitely miss my secondary school life, people around me, my teachers especially those who have been always helping me no matter how my actions towards them sometimes. I think they believe and knew that i can change to be a better person ahead and that's why they never give up to help me. In fact, they also help other students that they think this student needs help, they're very caring teachers where i believe i will never see this kind of teachers after i leave my secondary school even one of the teacher that leaving the school next year told me the same that Mayflower teachers are very caring... =)
