one week had passed . So far i was getting the feeling all throughout the whole one wek hoilday , that this was not a hoilday but a school day instead. Out of one week , I had to reutrn to school for 4 days . And throught the 1 week hoilday , I alsmost spent all my time on homework,revision , projects and so on. So do my friends.We all thought that what's the different between a hoilday and a school day when we have to spent days in school during vacation. Ha ha =) but luckily still had a few days to go out . I wen to school on friday morning then in the afternoon , i went out with Chun hui, yi hong and ying xuan . We went to see soem Japanese clothes and shoes . If I 'm not wrong , they called them 'Lolita' or something. Ying xuan and chun hui were 'force' to try out the clothes but in the end they determined not to try so the lady named Alice let them off. We had a great time going out.
During the hoildays , I also went on a library exchange program with Loyang Secondary.Together with other schools like Macperson secondary , Yuying sec and so on , we had a great time together. We were divided into groups and each group had to come up with book presentation as in you choose books from Loyang sec library related to the theme given to your group and present it . My group theme was on valentine whereas other groups had themes like halloween , international friendship day & hoildays.
In the end , Group 2 with the theme halloween won . Through this exchangem I had made a lot of new friends and we even exchange e-mails and handphone numbers.
Loyang secondary library was also a nice place. Downstairs was a bit cramp but upstarirs was fantastic . The walls were painted light brown and black with comfortable seats where you can listen to music. All of us from other schools were like 'Hey , let's transfer school ' or ' this place is sooo nice , how nice if our schools were like this' . Ha ha =) we were relucted to leave the place .
So conclusion , my hoildays were also quite well spent .

Yusuke Ito
From what he had written , one may find it hard to get what he was trying ot express but nevertheless, I guessed that he must have aspire to go into either the agriculture field where farming and raw materials are concerned Or he intend to go into the food industry. WHy do I think so ? Yusuke comment that he had an work experience at the plastic greenhouse which cultivated a tomato in winter. And he also mention about an article of Fujiya , a long-established store cake maker 's products are put under ban of sale because the latter uses expired raw materials for making its products. That's how I gather my facts on which field he had wanted to go into in the future but it seems hard to get what is the job he wants. I felt that the field Yusuke wanted to go into seems interesting as it had something to do with food or argiculture . Dealing with mostly nature.
Ps: Yusuke , if you seen this , please e-mail me and correct me if I have make a mistake concerning you job or the field you wished to go into in the future as I 'm just guessing. The address is: spirtweaver@hotmail.com ( Thank You =)
Daiki Uchiyama?
Daiki 's career review : he did a lot of research which i think what everyone must do as it will allows one to have more understanding of what one wants or what their ambition job has got to do with or so on.
For Daiki , he went to Wakkanai Hokusei University to study UNIX systems, for the career preparation. He took lectures and received practical trainings there. At the same time, he lived with other participants and talked with them regarding careers choices . Through that, he came to have the prospects for the future. He also felt that it was necessary to decide a course by what one wants.
For him , he mention that his hobby is using computer and good at typing. So this links to his future career . He took system management course during summer and hence came to a conclusion that he wants to go into the field of IT. I felt that Daiki is a hardworking person who is willing to read and learn more. You can see this from the way he had gather his information by attending lectures and so on. I also felt that the field he wanted to go into will be useful as technology advances is improving faster than what we had thought to be.
Soya Okazai
He wishes to become a doctor specalizing in dealing with cancer. I felt that right now , the world is really in need of doctors dealing with cancer as cancer is one of the top diseases amount the 'disease' list . So if Soya really became a doctor , I wish him well and that he will become a successful doctor and help those in need. DOctors are also known as healign angels as they can saved a lot of lives .

Growth Camp 2007 was over before I knew it . It lasted for 3 days 2 nights at Changi Coast MOE campsite. It was very fun and the best camp I ever had , even better than last year one. Except for the ants hole filled with many ants and that the toilets are quite dirty , everything else was perfectly fine. Last year Growth Camp was okay , but the instructors were not as fun and outgoing like this year, and the activities were quite boring.
Day one : We were being introduced on our instructors. They were two guys namely Mark & Wayne . Wayne took another class as the instructor for that class was over at the camp site. So Mark stayed with us . We played ice-breaking games while waiting for the other school over at the camp site to leave before we can go. We played games like " Concentration", "hunter and polar bear","Tookie Tookie game","Blow wind blow". 'Blow wind blow' was fun as everyone rushes for an empty seat as people who are standing for more than 3 times will be punished. ha ha =), filbert 1st one to 'Gana' ( to be punish) . He was made to do a dance while we sing. Then Filbert got Tian Yi out so the 2 of them danced while we sang Barney ending song - I love u , u love me, we are happy family ....
Ha ha the way they dance was hilarious . At about 10.15am , we had recess but only one stall was opened so the quene was rather long. Then at about 11.am plus we set off for the camp site. Our class was supposed to be the 1st to arrived there but because of the bus driver, we arrived there last. Everyone was like in the bus grumbling.
At the camp site , we played games based on teamwork. Games like there is a stone then, everyone were supposed to get up on it and sang a song before coming down . We were divided into 2 groups , A & B . I was in B . Next we played the balancing pole and the Tarzan which we swing from one side of the rope to the other. We had lunch. Our class do duty first by serving & monitoring people for washing their utensils . After lunch we played ' Tookie Tookie 'with our instructors and went for IPW. Dinner comes then discuss about the preparations for campfire. We finally decide on a cheer going by the rythem clap pf 'Everybody Dance Now' and a dance ' Alga tiggy'.
Night walk was also known as 'Blind men walk' where eveyone had to be blindfolded by a T-shirt and form a 'Too - too train line'. Mark go & tease us that what we are stepping is a gravestone & must say sorry when we crossed.Almost everyone believed him & we were like laughing & saying sorry to what is not a grave but a drain !!! Later we blame him for teasing us & he was laughing away...
Day 2 : We played high elements games like ' Abseiling, Ziplining,Rock-climbing & other high element games' . I only went for one high elements game in which you have to climbe to the top of the log,stand on it, grab the thing hanging & swing. I cried when i stood on top of the log. Very nervous a& scared as i was scared of height.I didn't managed to caught that thing but at least I tried. Then I went for Ziplining known as Flying Fox if i am not wrong. Quite fun but when I came down , I closed my eyes. Worst, helmet want to dropped.
In the afternoon after lunch, we had kyaking and raft buliding. The process of buliding a raft was fun as everyone chip in to help even us girls who don't really had much strength as compared to the guys. We went for Kyaking after that.Worst, we had to stand on the kyate holding each the hands of people next to us in the front row . I was scared to death. I am a non-swimmer, standing on the kyate in the middle of the sea? Who's not scared . Then when we return to shore, Wayne pushed me and chia hao down into the water and splashed seawater at us causing my eyes to hurt. We had to washed our kyate and they were VERY HEAVY indeed . Need the guys for help.
Then it was shower,dinner and last minute campfire prepration.
321...Campfire. We sang songs like ' I caught a little bumble bee', ' Yipee yah yah','campfire burning up','ti ti ti ti ti I lost my head ...','she 'll be comig around the mountain' and lots more. Our class was called up second and we did our performance . Other performances were getting quite boring one after another . Tian yi was like 'No creative, take a bit here and there and out together as a performance' and 'copy our class' . ha ha =) but good effort though. Poor Mark , we sabotage him & he had soapwater poured on him. He was freezing & feeling cold when we were having supper. Supper was okay . We had bread & hot milo. Later we played simon says. The instructors were very good at it . Everyone was out of the game & they won. For black magic , i still don't get how they played but never mind .It was a tiring day ....
Day 3 : Woke up at about 6plus to pack stuff and wash-up. We had farewell songs and thanks given by the instructors. Wow, 3 days passed really fast before I knew it , it's over. I am starting to miss camp even before we left. I together with my classmates will miss Mark , Wayne & Ming Li. Special arh , our class got 3 instructors cause Wayne sick on Day 2 . Camp Chief Polar was like wanting to cry ... Finally after much goodbyes, we left .
The camp was truly enjoyable . Best camp ever . I would never forget it so do others. 3e1 was like really missing them ( instructors ) . ha ha =0 . Ms ang took some photos for us . If wants to see, go to 3e1 class blog to view . Got our very own unique cheer too =)

Yesterday, all the sec 2 -sec 5 pupils went to the career seminar 2007 held at Suntec City Level 6 . All the pupils went exept for the band members and some of the NPCC cadets as they are preparing for the SYF ( Singpore Youth Festival 2007) and for the NPCC cadets they have got something on . We arrived there at about 2pm plus and started browsing around . Mostly it was the other universities of other countries having exhibitions there and our own Nanyang Technological University . There was not a huge variety of career choice ( information ) found there . I was looking for the exhibitions on Dietitian course but there wasn't any as well as medical careers . Kirti was a bit irritated and so was I . We thought it was an exhibition on different careers and jobs. Like you go in you will see exhibitions on jobs like being a doctor , lawyer , teacher and so on . But we were wrong . Some of my classmates were too irritated . So in the end , we ended up choosing some other careers related to our career choice to write down on our list . The list was given by our teacher Ms ang . We were supposed to be writing down 3 different kinds of our ambitions and look up information for them . I choose Psycologist and Teacher .As for the last choice , I think I shall write dietitian although I can't find any information there, but I can look up information from the internet .
In total , it was quite a good experience as I was able to know what are the other universities in other countries and get to know more about the courses they offered .In my opinion , I think this career fair is more suitable for the students in Junior College or Polytechnic as they can know where they can go to after JC or Poly or what are the qualifications they need to enter certain University. But it do benefit us as we can somehow have an idea on what the future lies for us.

i promised to update on CNY for the jap students so here i am.
CHinese year had been rather fun this year. 1st it started with the CNY(chinese new year) celebration in school . The performance are truly wonderful.Especially the performance put up by Intergrity 1 (my class) and Intergrity 2 . The whole sec 3 go very high ( excited ).
The next day , wad the day for reunion dinner. CHinese had a believe that on Reunion DInner Day all family members must reuturn home for it as they believe that this is the time for a reunion that why 's it is known as the reunion dinner. A dinner in which all family members are present.
Day 1 of Chinese New YEar: Mostly for day one, a family will return to the paternal side which is the father's side . Including my family. We went to grandpa 's house first.Wow, I like it when there are food,drinks and not forgetting 'Hongbao'( red packets that married adults gave children and unmarried people , which contains money). Later in the day, we went to my mother's side . There , of course were more foof and drinks. ha ha i almost spend the whole day eating chocolates, new year goodies and so on .So delicious =) not forgetting meeting my cousins again .Haven't seen them for quite a long time as we only see each other during family gathering .
Day 2 : Went to eldest aunt 's house. There we stir the 'Yusheng' ( which chinese usually does on one of the 15days of CHinese New Year . It is belived to stir and shout out good words so that the year would be better and luck would comes).
Day 3 : I went to 'River Hongbao' : which is held once a year during CHinese New YEar. There were mostly stalls selling things from China and performances too.
So you see , CHinese New year is a fun occasion for everyone . But this year, our teachers gave a lot of homework so beside enjoying ourselves,we had to finish the homework that were given . But luckily , I mangaed to finish up everything before we return to school =)
Tomorrow , we were going to the career seminar 2007 . Can't wait for it.It would be useful to my typed report as well as powerpoint slides . Another outhing with my class and friends =)
