interclass soccer
today we had interclass soccer and we won 3h easily with a convncing scoreline of 2-0. manfred scored both goals of the game. The first goal he scored was a freekick. I still don't know why Ben chin and manfred think that i dived to get the freekick. i seriously didn't dive, i was tripped and i fell down. seriously.. The second goal oso manfred score one, a tap in. We could have won the game by a larger scoreline if not for poor refreeing. 3h simply could not attack. our defense also did a great job, ben chin, ben ng and ervin. I tink ervin almost broke someone's leg. Roy also played well. i also heard that hullet won chinese cultural camp, ervin don't be sad..

Rugby Finals
Today was Chem CCT! Which Mr Koh said is primary school level...but I have a question (or 2): Why never test more on the properties of the different structures? Then so much on the separation techniques...
Today is also the rugby finals, which RI has never reached for the past __ years and so is very important to RI. They even postponed the CCTs, ended school earlier, made it compulsory for 16 classes to go down and support and announced it so frequently... So some of us did go down, but forgot who cos Mr Koh just said ok attendance marked but nothing leh. We lost to ACS(I)...but it was so close, they just scored 5 points close to the end and from 11-10, the score became 11-15. Nothing to say.
Ok, I didnt really see much of the rafflesian spirit everyone was talking about, but it is definitely better then usual (i think). Personally, it felt quite heartwarming when I saw the public, RGS, RPA, RJC and even SJI people cheering and supporting us...as for ourselves...Im not too sure. =P
I admit that amongst the crowd and excitement and other people taking photos, I forgot to take any photo there, so sorry. But I have one here, lol. If any of you have any photos you took, please upload!! And hope you can feel the excitement we felt from this...(i dont think so...)
Good luck mugging for rest of the CCTs, and please say out what else you want for this blog! A song has been added already, just click play. And help post too!

Class Deco
For the past months or so, our class has been actively decorating the classroom, with all the leaves at the windows and the notice boards, the tree, the grass, the signs, the pictures, etc. And just wanted to say that it feels really good to see the whole class putting in a lot of effort! For those who havent done so much/well this time, please reflect on it and try to do more next time! Now, lets do our best for the final days of the inter-class deco competition, and touch up on everything we have. Then, we can put our minds into the CCTs and score! Lol, anyway here are a few pictures I have, on the last deco sessions and today's: (dont mind the messy classroom)

Sec 3 Level CIP
I was kinda waiting to see if anyone would blog on the Viriya Flag day we had last Saturday, on 5th April, but sadly nobody wanted to, so here is my version, with Bennah, LinJin and Viet at Sembawang: (might be slightly long...)
I went to Woodlands MRT for Flag Day, and was really shocked to see so many others there from Innova JC, compared to quite a miserable no. of us... Anyway, we got into our groups- LinJin, BenNah and Me in a group. I think we/Mr Koh were/was smart, (no offense to other ppl) so we went to nearby neighbourhoods. =)
Okay, I have to refer to LinJin's blog for reference now, cant tell the difference between places. Ok, so we actually decided to go to Marsiling, and walked in one direction following the MRT track. However, after walking for about 10mins, we realised we were walking in the wrong direction... We were going to Admiralty! (maybe not so smart, lol) Okay, so fine we continued walking and reached Admiralty, realising that there were no proper shopping malls there! And then we discussed about our plans return or continue to the next station, Sembawang...Being the person that I was, I said to continue and not return, lol. Anyway the distance to Marsiling from Admiralty would surely be further then to Sembawang....plus I knew that Sembawang had a Sun Plaza or something beside it, haha. So while walking, we again realised that Sembawang was actually far from Admiralty, compared to the distances between 2 other adjacent mrt stations....ok complicated. We even saw the scene of an accident, some ppl were kaypoing and some were just talking and policemen were doing their job... Ok, so we reached Sembawang, and this was approximately, 1 hour after the whole thing started. Wow we were really fast. 1 hour into the job and we still had nothing. But we just had to have a drink, and went to Mac's then started our work. Split into 2 smaller groups, BenNah and I, LinJin and Viet, who just joined us cos he was late to report to Woodlands, but TOOK THE MRT to Sembawang! My group quickly snatched what I called prime land, lol. Referring to the space between the MRT station and Sun Plaza, and we got donations pretty fast and well, while LinJin and Viet took the other end of the MRT station, where the 'business' wasnt so good. We didnt take breaks from then on, just told ourselves to work hard! Even had to endure the rain at the linkway and the hated backsplash. People just couldnt see that my whole back was wet...but thats ok, haha. I found out the secret of getting donations, and that is to give a polite greeting and a big smile, lol. Cos people would be happy and donate too, or at least a smile in return, or okay, the worst case ever is to ignore you completely. Smiles from people and nice gestures, powered me on! I also learnt how to tell whether or not someone is likely to donate. Note that these are general observations, so they do not apply to all and no offense intended.
Signs of "No, thank you":
-Avoid eye contact
-Sharp turn when reaching you
-Gloomy face
-Hide behind others
-Hands full of bags/children
-Pushing pram/trolley etc.
Signs of "Yes":
-Smiles and comes to you
-Stands at one side while handing kids money to donate
-Purses/Wallets in hand
-Just bought something
-People who come and talk to you
-Other flag day participants, lol
-People who just bought toto/4d or wants to, more lol
Interesting moments:
1. One guy who looks like he's in JC (not doing flag day too) came to talk to us about his experience at a flag day last time, and told us about how 95% of his class were slacking while only he and a girl were doing it properly, lol. And said that we were 'considered' honest already. Hey, it wasnt like we were doing it half-heartedly! But he was very nice to us, and the first person who actually told us something instead of is telling them about the organisation.
2. A lady who walked to me and tried to take out coins from her pocket, but took out toto tickets instead, lol, revealing her true intentions...so she was too embarrassed and just went off...
3. Another lady who asked me to go to her and so I did. She donated and asked me for my bag no., saying that she wants to buy 4D with it, haha
4. Two girls who finished their duty in the morning walked past us towards Sun Plaza and donated, then when walking back towards the MRT station donated again. What generous people, lol.
5. Tried to explain in malay to a malay lady, who didnt speak english or chinese. Didnt really work, but she still donated becos of our effort! In the end the only proper malay words I spoke were "here" to tell her where to put in the money and "thank you", lols. very interesting.
6. Erm, a person who walked around in pyjamas...
Later in the day at about 5.45pm, we were joined by Alvin and ZiHeng, from Marsiling and some Innova people who BenNah said 'cut us off' from the other end of the mall, lol. But luckily we were finishing our shift, so it didnt affect us too much, I could tell that most of us were quite reluctant to leave that place, cos we all kept saying "just give out one last sticker" (=one more donation). Nearly ran out of stickers, lol, luckily I took an extra set when we left, haha. Had lots of fun doing flag day the first time, and got to see how society treats these people, haha. There are good and bad sides, but its quite real. Experienced slight sore throat, dry mouth and lips, some extreme taoing, but they were all worth it and there were certain fun things too!
Went back to Woodlands by MRT this time, and returned our donation bags. The person said something like "Woa, quite heavy ah..." when he took my bag, lols. *thick-skinned*

Lin Jin's magic
Today has been a fun day at school for me, especially Lin Jin's talent show we had during class interaction. How in the world did he make the top ten cards of both decks the same when five people shuffled the cards? O_O A really nice magic trick. Okay, the second one was...not exactly easy to understand though. Anyway, continue to practice magic Lin Jin! You know how much we love it.
Then we had the CEC to adddress the class about some issues, but...ahem the monitor was pretty quiet and we didnt actually discuss much. Ok, so class decoration. I think that so far it has been pretty well-done, most of the leaves and animals are up, also the banana tree and the grass. Just have to patch up some of the gaps and use more recycled materials. Oh I just remembered the mosaic. Wonder whats up with it.
The battery collecting box is also nicely done, with quite a number of batteries already inside. So bring used batteries cos the competition is ending in a few weeks, i think. Lets win it! (together with some recheargeable batteries and charger, haha)
Note to self: Snatch used batteries before Jim does...
During recess today after the chinese essay writing competition, Mr Koh came to check up on us and found some of us in class. And we were talking about something which reminded Bennah about Shaun's large collection of sweets and offered to give Mr Koh a tour of the pencil case. He found 13 boxes...ok hope Shaun doesnt mind, and also for people not to take those sweets freely...
Interclass soccer! Today we were supposed to have one match of soccer against 3J (i think), but they didnt turn up! So its a walkover for us, but what a disappointment. Cos walkovers will automatically mean a 3-0 score, but we could have scored even more if they played lor, maybe something like 5-0, haha.
Remember about level CIP tomorrow, so report to woodlands at the allocated time, which can be found on asknlearn, in Mr Law's message. Work hard everybody! and do our part for society! Oh yes, and please write some posts for this class blog, cos Im sure that you dont want to always stare at my boring writing...also, tell us your comments and any random stuff on the tagboard, like maybe you want your blog to be linked?
Jack =)
