Finished CIP!

Had fun with CIP, though the guys in my group didn't talk much with the exception of Aravin AKA Aladdin.

The girls (Mavis, Oriana and Rajanni) were chatty, Zheng Xun and Kai Xuan were quiet but very smart boys, Liyana didn't talk much as she didn't come for the first day, and there's Wilson the absentee who overslept and didn't come at all.

Overall, they are cool to be with. Wish I had prepared a keepsake for each of them. Was so tired out for the two days that followed, but I'm now ready to study for the Common tests. I learnt some study tips too---just as they did for their PSLE.

Our group name was bad, Avianants was hard to pronounce, especially for the cheer. (Originally a S-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-E cheer thing, didn't went too well though we did our best, then became something I came up with...) During the prize presentation, we were the "Aviants".

My partner was missing for the second and last day. The girls have been asking where my "boyfriend" went to. Most of the other volunteers also had the same situation, since a male and female group leader was assigned to each group. The "young adults" (they aren't really children in a sense, also they don't like to be called it) assume that just by holding hands or by being associated together you are automatically entitled to be one's boyfriend/girlfriend.

I have to admit that I wasn't a great leader, being the quiet sort, so I'm very thankful to have a co-operative group.

The question of why I joined this CIP came up from another volunteer who joined the CIP, I just said that I felt it would be fun to join it. Actually, it isn't the real reason, I made a vow/silent promise last year that if PEARLS was scrapped off I would be happy to take more initiative to join CIP. In any case this reason is no longer important. I feel happy being of help in any case. CIP used to be picking up litter on the beaches, having a walkathon for the school raising fund, visiting the old folks home. This was something more memorable.

Also, it seems like 05S03, a class with 4 A level subjects, have a number of volunteers who turned up to help consistently. Was wondering how on earth they juggle studies so well, these smart people. I turned up for the 3 days, but I must admit that I haven't finished studying yet...

I pre-ordered HP from Popular! Thinking back about it, I must be mad, seeing that the prices of the previous books have dropped to less than half the price of the new book (Compare a mere $15 to $40). Anyway, I must study hard so that I can enjoy reading the new book when it's out, as a reward...that's what I'm thinking about at the moment.

To all who's reading, good luck for your CTs too!

Yay!

1) No GP lesson today. The teacher wasn't here because she's still on leave. Sorry to all who came to school today.
2) Our GPP is finally approved! This is great! However, we are the last group to get the GPP approved. Not too good news but it's still a relief. Been doing the GPP at 4am this morning, finished it by 5am, and went to sleep again. That's why I was late (I overslept =.=;;)

Round 5 of the Ice cream factory game looking good =)

I solemnly swear that I...

...don't like GPP.

HP craze has started to come back to me, but according to some quiz I took, I'm just 75-80% mad about HP, so I'm sane and it is one of my favourite books. (Which is correct ^^;; )

Doing a GPP is....crappy. Especially if the teacher keeps sending back the GPP asking for improvements. And being the only active one editing it at the moment is a pain.
Seriously, why does it seem like my PW class is the one where the teacher keeps finding fault with the proposals we send in? I recall someone (you probably won't know who) talking about her teacher having problems with their GPP too, so maybe we are not alone.

Meeting the new GP teacher tomorrow. Bet some people won't turn up since it isn't going to be very useful in their opinion. Or maybe the previous put them off too much to be fond of the next. I am just going to see who and how the new teacher is like.

The ice-cream game. I'll just give "who cancelled the 8 missing workers problem" the benefit of the doubt. It was a blessing-in-disguise, now that I found out we definitely needed more factory (a.k.a. ice-cream storage) space. It would have been a waste of $$$ and ice-cream if they had been brought in this round.
Factory space is super expensive, it's 8 x 6000 = $24000 of cash gone. We can only hire 2 more workers for the next round.And about that 2 workers, I estimate about at most 1950 x 2 x 2 = $7800 of unused labout and we gotta pay for it. And they won't be working for this round at all.
Still, there will be 2 x 3000 = 6000 tubs of ice-cream more for Round 5. We definitely need more for the huge market in the game, or it will be a waste of our high (but mighty) expenditure on the advertising and R & D ^___^

Sad day...

Today was horrible...

The PW thing didn't went as well as what we wanted it to be. Should have used some scent like lemon which everyone won't object to. At least it seems to have a purpose, to prove something to us: Aromatherapy cannot be done in the school since everyone's tastes are different. Wish Teresa was around, since she knows the most about Aromatherapy.

And now I checked the ice-cream factory game, I found out that the 8 people I ordered for the next round were non-existant. And so now we can only make 90,000 tubs of ice-cream next round. And that means we still have some more unsatisfied customers.
8 x 3000 = 24,000 tubs of ice-cream gone with the wind. And we have only 5 more rounds to go.
But all was not for the worst. Janice's edit actually saved us, because of my wrong estimation for the market in Smallville and Cottageland. And she upped the prices too, which was also a good thing. Money, money, money =P

It's been depressing, because June holidays are no longer like what they used to be, where I can make use of them to relax, or to update the website I ran (now it's in very bad condition as no one is there to update it).

Guess the session didn't really work for me. I think the Gardenia smell is not for me at all.

--------------------------------

Any one going to buy Harry Potter & the Half-Blooded Prince in July anyway? I want to read haha...

Also, here's a personality quiz I took today.

You're like me! The intelligent loner. You're shy at times but friendly, and you are never weak and always independent. You are incredibly intelligent (wise beyond your years) and have a talent for many things (sports, music, art). You have a kind and warm personality and enjoy
the simple things. Like hanging out with friends and watching movies at home. But you're sometimes quiet nature makes you a bit of an outcast and a mystery to people. No matter how pretty you are or smart or athletic, you just can't seem to break into the crowd and be noticed. Don't worry, try to be more outgoing and speak but when you have more to say. Don't hide behind your books and sports and computer, get out there and get noticed. You also have deep desires in life and feel vunerable and alone at times. Don't feel sad either, What helps me to express feelings and dreams that I can't say to people, is through my writting. Maybe you should try.

What kind of girl are you? (with pix!)

A holiday week unlike another...

I was right...
This June Holiday is going to be like no other that I had.

Our PW group meetings and some (insane?) happenings with the twins, and an Ice-cream Factory Game to settle...
At least all problems were solved for now =)

And now to really complete my homework >_<;;
