yet another day.

today is the 15th of June already. 11 more days still school is gonna reopen. time has been passing real fast. the holidays doesn't seem to be enough at all. hahas. well, i haven't start doing any holiday assignments and i guess i ought to start doing them already.
i feel like changing my blogskin to something real simple and maybe pink? hahas.

anyway, i've just found out another thing i really like about this SummerCamp in republic poly. it's the food provided from the school itself (it's canteen). hahas. at least i prefer and really like the food during both tea breaks. today, we had brownie for afternoon tea. ohh yeahs, with ice-cream.

well, today me and jiaxuan weren't early. we were late for like a few minutes, like ten? anyway, there's a change in group again. this is how students in republic poly study, in different groups everyday and also to learn how to adapt to changes * as told by one of the leaders*.
today is the second day for the camp. basically, i seriously think that some of the team leaders should learn how to be totally spontaneous to make everyone really love their time spend there. what's more it's their school that they are ''promoting'' shouldn't they try to give us good impressions? overall, they are still cute and funky. =] right jiaxuan? hahas.

being in a different group really test how one can really adapt to the new environment. for me, it's difficult but as for jiaxuan, i think it's easier than a piece of cake. you know? she's like so out-spoken and fun-loving that no one will hesitate to talk to her, of course right after she make the first move. as for me, i didn't show a grumpy face but still i think i look a bit too unfriendly. well, you can't expect me to be always smiling. today, my team leader is this person named Jason. someone nice but it seems that he likes to be declared as ''missing''. hahas. ohh well, he's the programm I/C so i guess it's kindda difficult for him to really settle down in one spot. after today, i realise that i like my yesterday's team leader Samuel (of course only as a leader-and-member kindda way) althoug he does near nothing. =]

on the way back home waiting for bus, jiaxuan daniel and i discussed about our team leaders. daniel prefers ariel because he think that samuel does nothing, jiaxuan also prefers her previous team leader because she didn't really interact much with ariel today. as for me, i like both but preferred Samuel because he's at least with the group most of the time and no, he hasn't decide to appear with no contact lens. he look weird though but still cute. hahas.
anyway, today before we part from republic poly, jiaxuan bid farewell with ariel saying: "bye perimeter" and the reply i heard was: "thanks for giving me a new nick".
come to think of it, do i really look very 'jiao' when i don't smile? lols. maybe bahs.

okay, besides having real fun playing the games planned, the lectures today are really boring. i was so looking forward to the lectures but it seems that we shouldn't always be expecting perfection from people to freaquently. frankly speaking, i almost fell asleep during Workshop 2, session 2. the speaker is seriously dead. he doesn't give people or his students or audience the willing to listen to him carry on even when the topic is very interesting.
photoshop is a very interesting thing to learn. however, the speaker is making it boring. just like a teacher from our school. she teaches my class Social Studies. i sit somewhere near her sight and i get caught for being talkative most of the time. i guess even if i'm not around her sight or somewhere very isolated, i will still talk or even have a long nap. she's a nice teacher but somehow the 'elements' of being a teacher cannot be found in her. anyway, i guess it still takes courage for someone to speak infront of their audience.

we played four games today and i find them quite new (not all but still..). first was this maths game whereby numbers are pasted on the floor infrontof two competing teams. the rule of this game is to calculate the sums given mentally and step or tap on the numbers. each team can only send one representitive for each question and they are definitely not easy. what's more, we can't forcuss while trying to get the question and calculating the sums mentally at the same time. our competiton shot up to 50 points. hahas. by right, each question answered correctly should award each team with 10 points. hahas. then, we played this tree, squrrel(or whatever it is spelled) game. whereby the trees and that particular animal will have to move according to the happening shouted: "fire, earthquake or hunter". sounds familiar? hahas. the most enjoyable part of the game is seeing those who weren't suppose to do forfeit doing forfeit. hahas. i guess there were too many to do forfeit le bahs. hahas.

the other two games were related to ballons which i totally hate! hahas. first was this caterpillar game. everyone from the group are suppose to walk around with balloons in between each of us and also to collect our team's name. we were last and also collected the least stickers of our team's names and so we did two forfeit which were rather easy because it was as a group. hahas. ariel and samuel also came and disturb our group trying to stop us from standing up by holding their hands above my head. but, it was still fun! then, there was this challenge whereby we need to keep balloons up in the air for at least 20 seconds without having a physical contact. all our group did was blow and no, it's not impossible. hahas.

i think i'll end my never ending post here or it'll really be a never ending one. hahas.
buhbye!
i miss saraphina, the one who accompanied me the whole camp yesterday. lols.
