When The Wheels Start Rolling.

Heelo mates! I just came back from KL actually. Oh yeah...the new condo's done and we went to see it.

I was like wow....the house is real GORGE-OUS!!! and its facing the pool and the gym and the clubhouse...woohoo...so mom and dad can see my bros swim while i build my SKINNY body all from the balcony...oh yeah...I LOVE THE TOILET TOO!!! lol..sounds ridiculous doesnt it?

also watched my beloved man u lost yesterday in an out of sorts match. haiz...i'm sad but at the same time POSITIVE...we'll win for sure baybeh!!!!!

So yeah...before i bore the girls out...lets talk about school...I'm in the touch rugby squad now...haha...dream come true! anddd i got some classmates to join me too. Looking forward for the camp which is comingggg soonnnn.

This week is also a great week, not just training wise for rugby but lessons too, i participated more actively than usual. Alot of laughters, alot of SOAP debates and there are also the negative side but still, I'm alright and best of all...I GOT an A for mondayyyyy!!! woohoo.

So i'm looking forward for this coming week and i apologize if i dont update during the due course of the week. so take care.

all the best for people who have exams. LOL

When Theres a Limit To Everything.

So today went to school as usual. The Bus is forever full but we just sat at the stairs. Lesson started...Problem statement is about the art of war.

Since we had to go for CE in the afternoon, i decided to have lunch with Lit kwong and the rest...whist on the way there...we discussed about out blood relations grade which was last friday...lit kwong asked me what was my grade but i asked him 1st...so he say it was a B...i told him well done and congrats...and then when it was my turn and i said A. he totally blurted back and said

"YOU FOREVER SIA A!"
LOL.

Went back to class...my group had a new guy who didnt came to school for about 1 weeks plus and appeared...fortunately he was in my team. haha. he's enthusiasm is one of a kind and i salute his energeticism...he's gonna do well.

So today i "dressed down" a girl in my class. It's been a long time since i last confronted a girl but today i felt that she was over the line by adding remarks that were provoking not appreciated while my group was making presentation. I was almost so pissed that i wanted to tell her to "shut up" on the spot while presentating.

I expected her to argue her way through la...but my STAND was simple...she had no proper etiquette while presentation (MSN-ING, COMMENTING AND POINTING EVERY SINGLE OF MY GROUPS FLAW AFTER EVERY SLIDE) and i think she needed a proper lesson by a blasting and telling off FOR ONCE.

So after school....met the volleyball captain who said to me..."oh so you're the 191 guy they talk about!" i was like WTH????

Haha...also arranged a change of schedule because it clashed with floorball.

haha...then signed up rugby, floorball (they want to give me goalie sia), swimming (haha) and aeromodeling as back up...just in case if all fails or i dont like the training....

on the way to the interchange with ravi...lyn called...she said she problem with her VPN and so i waited for her at causeway point mc...over there...the smell of garlic bread from pizza was tempting and sent me nuts. so met up with lyn and her boyfie and i helped her installed back her VPN. then went home and RJ and all that stuff.

so after 270 questions....this is the result....and it is so bloody accurate of me...haha...scary sia...haha...My personality.

Coded Up.

Todays a wednesday. Year 2 and Year 3 students arent schooling today. So this morning crowd control was okie, human traffic was smooth all the way to school. How i wish it wasnt this crowded everybody.

Arrived school. Fadhilah said she saw me in the bus. i said i saw her too reading in there...den she say...oh i was sleepling...i was like...wow...never knew you can open a book and sleep at the same time.

then kent opened the problem statement. i swear to god...this was one of the difficult modules to date. i had to get help from other classmates but i want to thank them la, tsu haw, aqidah and geng and i want to negociate a loan deal with aleeve over devil or maybe try to sign Hasim up for help...LOL and i also dont want to sign in msn while doing my work anymore. stupid RP network almost screwed me up during devils presentation.

So school ended prettay late...alot of events....wanted to meet adelyn but she said she went home already...so went home, beat the traffic, beat the crowd but i couldnt beat the weather....argh....haha...i shall remind myself to bring sweater from now on. heehee. oh yeah...and i realised that there was this girl staring at me at the interchange while i was waiting for 168 home....what's her problem man?

and so i end my post tonight with a few photos i took with my bro using my laptop webcam....haha...i think my brother and i are going to be future cam-whorers! LOL...night!

Muke SARDINe.

Tongues OUT!

My brother really loves looking at his face!

Our Final Goodnight pose!

GENIE.

day by day, i start to realise i'm losing momentum...My presentations have taken a big dip i'm actually unhappy about it.

I'm quite happy for my group members actually...they've been very helpful, fun and exciting to work with...i'm also getting closer to my classmates and it feels more or less like brothers and sisters...

I have a classmate whom we have to call devil...Like really even the facis have to call her that! i feel uneasy calling her devil. its like calling satan like that...i want to call her dolly from now on...she's like one cuteeee one anyway. haha

anyway...i didnt really managed to finish off all my grades for last week and so up to today...i've gotten 2 A's and 2 B's and i'm still waiting for friday's results...

today was fun and although certain people felt depressed...i want to dedicate my next paragraph for the person....

Dear dude, i understand that you had a bad day today and i want to dedicate this paragraph to you....I know you feel slightly down over what happened today from the class. I want you to cheer up dude. You're like a live wire and shouldnt worry about scoring a D for ur lesson. Just remember the point where you got an A and be confident. I'm sure that when you partcipated in our group presentation just now, you would've scored urself some good points. I also again want to apologise if i had offended you in any way during our teams presentation and i hope you cheer up and smile...somebody got kinder anyway!!! haha. smile dude. you're a great sport.

So yeah...gonna be mid week tomorrow and the singapore flyers just opened!!! i want to bring this certain somebody there...its like being a genie fulfilling her wishes and it feels good actually. haha...so yeah...take care...i'm gonna knock off now...such a very tiring day today...hahaha.. good night.

Flying High Baby!

Team Presentation: During presentation,
Your PPT is very well-done. You have applied what you have learnt during that lesson.

Comments For Individual: Dear Sean,
An A- for this lesson! Well done!

I agreed with what you shared in your RJ. It is really great to know that you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses. Work on your weaknesses. At the same time, make use of the strengths you have to do well in class.

I am impressed with your performance for this first lesson. I hope to see you growing more in time to come.

**Oh, Is'nt it Gorgeous?**

Looking at directions.

Okay, toyday was maths lesson. so much for maths that it felt like a geography lesson actually. so nothing much to update other than i'm feeling too entirely well.

So I'll knock off early today...good night.

Best Team.

Today, we were again separated into another groups but this time, I was working with Liza. Her prayers seem to be answered yesterday when she told me in msn yesterday that she was bored and needed a group change preferably with milly or me. Oh well...she got it.

today, we met with another faci, miss reeta. She is more into the get the job done well and good. It was scary at first but thankfully our team did very well today and earned alot praise from her.

She also praised me by saying that i did a wonderful job today and singled me out and told me that she expects that kind of performance throughout my 16 weeks. ithink the poem that i recited really mesmerized her.

Conflicts.

Today was my official day at school. Woke up and again sent her a good morning message. I felt i overdid it today but nevertheless...it felt nice.

Bus 168 was real full today. It was really packed to the brim. i looked at the bus driver and then he said come in. I managed to squezze through however. Arrived woodlands interchange, it was packed and so i decided to walk to school.

Arrived at about 8:34am. Powered up the laptop and then checked my outlook. Class started at exactly 9 and our faci for the day was miss faith. She was very friendly and then gave us a problem which was themed CONFLICT. I was brokened up into a new team but managed to bring a friend i already know which was Azmil (he was late by 1 minute!!!!) hahaha.

The other 3 people in my group were Aslinda(ITE graduate), shing ling and peihui. Shing ling was really the out going one but thankfully everyone in our group managed to work well without conflicts.

If you think 2 hours and 30 minutes is enough to make a powerpoint presentation...THINK AGAIN!!!!!!

Time flew real fast that we only had 10 minutes for lunch and before that, everyone was starving and restless and tired. i managed to keep them together however.

We then continued class for our presentations and then came our turn to present our problem. evrything went well but our group almost incensed an indian classmate who is from india when we decided to make the tamil tigers and sri lanka an example of conflict.

he duly noted to us that india had nothing to do with the incident because he lived near the border and explained to our team that india was not involved. he was real angry. shing ling then tried to reason with him that we were taught this in social studies but it only made the argument worse that miss faith came in and diffused the situation for us.

When class ended, i went up to hasim (the indian guy) and apologised from the bottom of my heart to him saying that i had no intentions of hurting any races or inciting anger into him during our presentation and i also told him that i'm indian by race and he's like a brother to me too and i knew how how he felt.

He then told me its okay, saying i didnt need to apologize and explain my teams actions. he said we're all classmates and its okay. he just wanted to clarify with us the issue of that conflict to our team. i kept on apologizing until he said to me that he'll slap me if i said sorry one more time.

I did say sorry to him again at the door before i left class and then he was like wanted to chase me...hahaha...i told him take care and he said yea...you too.

I then left back to home...reached under my block at 5:55 but then realised i forgot. How careless of me. my maid came from my aunties house and passed the keys to me and so i entered at 6:20. Did my RJ (Reflection journal) which contributes to my grades...I'll end my post now with a glimpse of my reflection journal which i just submitted. take care.


Question:
What are your fears and concerns in the weeks to come- module or PBL approach?

Response:
My fears and concerns in the weeks to come is mainly being able to keep my focus and good momentum going for the during my study in RP. I have a tendency to detour and lose focus and thats where my greatest weakness and enemy lies.

I really hope that this does not happen however. I want to work hard, gain good grades and step away from the shadow that once pulled me to the lowest point of my life. I want to graduate well, step up a level and go on to further heights.

Based on my recent performance which was today, I basically felt that problem based learning suited me well as I'm more of somebody who does not shy away from challenges given to me. The experience I had in making presentations, public speaking and leadership really came to my advantage today.

I felt that I was the LIVE-wire and spine of the team. Despite being hungry, tired and restless during breakout two, I kept on encouraging each and everyone in the team not give up and persevere in completing our presentation. In the end, we did complete the presentation 10 minutes from time and rushed our lunch just to be back for meeting 3 and despite that, we were still late by 7 minutes. =)

The feeling of satisfaction among our our team members when the presentation and meeting 3 ended were priceless. Nothing in the world could stop us from being happy that all our hardwork paid off and so i'm really looking forward towards the future modules and PBL's to come. I have also learned alot today from my presentation such as the issues and conflicts pertaining to the Tamil Tigers and Sri Lanka and i therefore extend my most grateful thanks to you as my Faci today.

I also have FAITH and confidence that if I can keep this momentum going, then I know surely that I'll do well and score good grades throughout my study in RP.

Thank you for taking so much time and effort in reading my reflection journal for the day and therefore I would like to wish you a very nice day ahead.

Who'd Knew.

Friday
Went to school as usual, before that...sent a good morning message as always. Took 168 very early to school to beat the crowd. Went into the hall and got team 1. while in the hall...i got to know more SEG guys in my team. thankfully we're all sporting as hell...

so we all got goodie bags and then left off for our amazing races...whilst doing that...came the station at the swimming complex where we had to race half of the swimming pool and remember our canoe numbers...

I took the canoe and capsized twice...i was totally wet! and luckily i had a basic instinct of wearing double pants, underwear and shirts for that day...so i didnt mind really getting wet!!! hehe...after the twice capsize, i got fed up and decided to swim to the other side....haha...everybody from the team cheered me on and it felt so good that my strokes were getting quicker...haha...i'm a born swimmer baybeh!

Later on...i was made to suffer together with 3 friends from the team who went for the swim...we entered back into the air conditioned environment of school...there was no towel and so we walked in with water dripping COLD...everybody was looking at us and wondered what the hell happened to us...i had somebody to help me carry my jeans and shoe. while i and the other 2 guys joined the race walking BAREfooted.

Our team managed to complete the race by 12 and by then i was about 3/4 dry...changed back to jeans and the student union shirt that they gave from the goodie bag....i forgot one thing however...my underwear was still wetttt!!!! and i had no spare!!!! argh....went to the mosque for friday prayers with the seniors...

Came back and helped paint out the mascot for the night and then after that we went for the record breaking leapfrog...

i got to tell you guys....doing leapfrog isnt easy...we were made to do it for 5 times!!! before the record was finally broken!!! after that...we had a fun dinner...sharing jokes and laughter...and then we PARTYEDDDDD to the night...SEG didnt win the overall but we had alot of fun...to cap it all off...theres was a rock performance and we totally enjoyed it....

we left with good memories and basically we felt like we knew each other for years rather than a day...Talked to someone later that night and crashed.

Met with my grandmother at T1 and then went home by cab...Later in the night...i create sweet messages and sent her and then all of a sudden...i felt like i was falling love again....haha...i really lurvve that feeling.
