Yesterday, the scouts were practicing their square lashing.Most I guess were ok but some people were not so co-operative.

Now on todays events,English Club had a joke session with Zhen Ming leading and one from Khai Jett. They were reactive today.I guess we need to involve them properly to get them interested. Zhen Ming then told a story which they need to act out the next week,us seniors also have to act it out.Should be interesting.

Today is a major homework session.Every subject gave work that roughly amounted to a page of work as the minimum.The maximum is history with 10 pages.......due tomorrow. Lovely isnt it especially when you notice that we all have to stay in school till 4.00.Anyone else sees the error in the History teachers plans.

Thank God,that I got to pay attention so nicely in class today,no strange sludge to stop me from learning.:):):):):):):):)

On the other hand,scouts did another training program.Yet again,I would say that we really should plan with the other team properly before we conduct it.It had progress but not as efficient as our normal programs.No worries,if we do it again next week,we shall do proper management so that we will have proper competition as well as allies later on.

The Swamp Backwoods

Today's backwoods was conducted under the rain with us seniors preparing the shade for the form 1's to  start their fires.We used tension to pull it up along with tripods with wood to keep it up.Just so happens that the flysheets could not take how hot their flames were     

  Wei Jenn's patrol had a tasty marshmallow chocolate dish. Backstreet boys on the other hand had two breads which both tasted solid.Did I mention that Wei Jenn even got Mr.Wong to eat some of her marshmallow.We even were going about increasing the smoke since the wind was blowing in the right direction.

Right so now the new patrol leaders are:

HELANG:Jo Yee

RAJAWALI:J'Yeo

PEKAKA: WEN LOONG

TIONG 1:Nicholas 

Kenyalang:Wei Zhou 

Some of the qualities that were amusing are that the Rajawali PL is always a girl,so Molly Gaga was caused by Michael becoming PL. HELANG PL is always the troop leader,that's true for Jeremiah's year but not mine since Mav was not a PL for any of those patrols so technically he broke the tradition.He became PL in form 3 and never dropped since. 

Correction.........Mav was PL in form 4 and seriously he didnt drop since.

ORAL PRESENTATION 2

The second round was a barely passing.It started on Tuesday with a two day break caused by our schedule.This time it mainly passed because of proper grammar and front-mid range level of sound. The first three were soft except for Clive(mid range),Yappie(mid range), Lin Lei(mid-back range) and Wei Khai(mid range at times) .  Clive used advantage of his voice to a minimal range,lots of improvement in tones could be done. Wei Khai had given up so he should learn to trust himself and present better. Lin Lei and Yappie should be louder and add in more determination and passion into their presenting styles. And the whole group should have learnt that using the paper will have a drop in quality and interest as well as confidence in the speaker.

 The last group presented today and it was a major improvement over the other three. Though admittedly a decrease in dependency on using the paper to present would be a major improvement. Kah Mun did quite well on acting as a reporter with quite a far range,I think it was louder or as loud as me and of course she got the tone of the reporter quite well with some slight serious tone improvement being a useful benefit. Natalyn had the right overall tone and a mid-back range which is quite good. Jian Arn and Joel could use a less im reading the paper tone as well as a longer voice reach range.

 So that's it.Coming Up Soon Malay Language Presentations.

On what I was doing this week, I was going about helping to teach the juniors how to start a fire. Seriously I rather make a fire myself. Today got me playing badminton left and right handed,Kin Yen even taught me a simple way to see what type of handed person you are,I got something that means im either ambidextrous or in my own opinion left mix hand.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

May God bless you and thank Jesus and God that they care so much about us. I know this probably shocked some of you who think I dont have a religious or thankful side,so by chance you'll listened to Kris Allen's The Truth?If you didn't well I say its quite good.

View on Oral Presentation of 5 Mawar 2010,

first half.

Let's see the first group was my group which consisted of Wei Jim as Professor Wei Jim from the London Medical College,U-Jo as Colonel James,Tung Shern as Professor Chee,and lastly there was me as Mr.Timothy,writer of 19 historical books........I was planning this role for someone else,we were talking about World War 2,to be honest we were rated as good by Pn.Suzana and ok by Wei Khai(he was at the back at that time)  just that some of us were soft..........im at ok volume.........which means I performed  lower than my goal because I didn't give the right volume loudness or the proper tone as well as some strange unnecessary hand movement,ill do better. My group's problems are at mid range loudness and ,paper reliant for some phrases.

Next group was  Marcus,Su Yuen, Zi Yang and Zhen Ming.Theirs had a laugh for the start and of course it was in my opinion good.Their topic was whether the Chicken or the Egg came first,they choose egg came first.Personally I believe that the chicken came first.Critic Time:It would have been excellent if they could speak slightly louder and with out referring to the paper.So they have achieved:Good.

Third to present was Sze Schuen, Marion,Synn Yi and Su Yin.Anyways they were talking about H1N1 Influenza A. Truthfully I barely could hear them so I could not give them my whole attention span. Sze Schuen was at a mid range loudness,the rest were at a lower range.Another thing to note is that they chose a topic that is rather hard to garner attention and of course the plague of 5 Mawar's Oral Test,stuck with the paper.My rating: Pass

Fourth  and last to present for this half was Weii Yie,Michelle,Xiao Ning and .......this is bad I can't remember her name so no murdering me.They talked about fashion,I honestly will admit that it was interesting and it had the benefit of acquiring most of the girls attention and of course some guys were just confused, as for me,well I could hear most of it,some parts they were soft,so yet again mid range loudness. Yet again,paper reliance had hit them but at least they controlled it. So my rating for them Good.

:) Critic time is over for now.
