It's Monday again. We had Listening Comprehension exam for CLB today. So sudden la, don't even have time to study. Sorry, that was a lame attempt at being funny, -.-''.

We did mind-maps as a revision for Geography. Since Terence was so noisy, he was kicked out of our group and had to do his work individually, ha!

E Math was actually ok today. Mdm Lee was surprisingly nice, so no one got scolded. Then at 11.30am, those classes going to support our badminton team went down for an early recess. At 12pm, we gathered at the foyer, waiting to get up the bus. Like almost all the upper sec bands members were going lor.

I think we reached Jurong East Sports Centre at 12.45pm, then we went up to the stands to watch. We sat there to like 5.30pm, and it was damn boring. But in the end, Montfort Secondary are the champions again.

I wonder if this is what an insect sees


Today is the 21st of April, which marks the 91st Founder's Day of Montfort Secondary.

The band falled-in at 7.30am, then we went down to our corner of the parade square. All the UGs were involved in the outdoor parade by the way. Let me give you a brief description of the parade first, though its not really accurate la. The markers would march in, followed by the representatives of each UG. Then we would play March Ala Mode for some march in/past. Then when the GOH come, we would play Fanfare. And the NCC would exhibit a routine to MCR's Welcome to the Black Parade, Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, and one more unknown song. Then we would play Spania! for dunno what. Followed by the inspection, and the march out.

We went up to the band room to wait for the hall thing to end, then we would play the Song of the Brave. Everything ended at around 1pm+. And there was packed food for us, but it was like inedible. Went to play soccer at the basketball court with Hong Zheng, Jeremy, Gerald, Jia Wei, and Ethan. Then later we were joined by Kelvin, Kelvin's little brother, Kamal, Joshua, and Nawas(I think it's spelled like this), so we moved to the soccer field.

We played with some seemingly Pri. 6 or Sec 1 kids. But I left after awhile cause it was damn hot, haha.

I have just watched Laputa : Castle in the Sky. Like almost all of Studio Ghibli's films, it was great. The character design is damn similar to Hayao Miyazaki's Conan, The Boy in Future. The music is also nice, reminds me of the time we played Animation Medley during Symphonie II.

Hello. Didn't blog for so long already. Somehow I don't feel the urge to post nowadays.

12 days till my first and probably only SYF. Tomorrow there'll be a band exchange with Whitley Secondary. And they will be recording our SYF pieces for us to listen. And there's another one next Saturday. Some schools involved will be Montfort, Whitley, Chung Cheng, Marsiling, Maris Stella, and St. Gabriels.

About today. In the morning after assembly, all sec 3 classes remained in the parade square to do the reflections thing for the sec 3 level camp 2 weeks ago. Didn't pay much attention though, since Ignatius and I were playing hangman on my notebook.

Free period later. Finished the E Math homework and slacked off. Finally a not so boring lesson during physics.

After recess we had E Math. Nothing much to comment about.

School was dismissed at 12.30pm so we could prepare for the sports day later on at 2.15pm. Went home to shower and eat, then went to Hougang Stadium. By the way, it rained through the 1st quarter of the event. Quite surprised that none of the runners fell. I'm not going to elaborate about the sports day because it was so damn boring. The event ended at 6pm.

Hi, I'm back from the Sec 3 level camp.

Can't tell you how happy I am to be finally away that grueling place. I don't know how to explain it, but it was damn tiring. We walked 32km from Changi to Bukit Panjang from 3am in the morning to 5pm, 14 hours! Then the next day we kayak-ed for 3-4 hours in the hot sun. Sunburn like hell.

Never mind, I shall elaborate in detail day by day.

Day 1

Arrived at school at 7.20am. After everyone arrived and some admin matters, the bus left for Changi Sea Sports club. We reached there at around 11am. We were split into groups, some for land expedition and the others for sea expedition. The first day was quite slack. We started off by introducing ourselves and playing team games. Later, we cooked our own lunch of noodles, broccoli, pineapple strips, and potatoes.

Later we had camp craft. My group built this laundry thing which also can put shoes to dry. Quite cool actually.

Then all the groups gathered. The camp facilitator gave us garbage bags to pick up litter. A prize of two bottles of Sprite and a box of Oreo were given to the group which collected the most rubbish. What a dirty way to motivate us, lol. In the end, the area was super clean.

Dinner was ok, though quite a small portion. Again we had to cook. Noodles, baked beans, and sausages. After that half of the group went to bathe while the other half did the orienteering for the 32km walk the next day. And vice versa later on.

After the debrief, lights out.

Day 2

Woke up at 2am. Gathered our foodstuff and started the 32km land expedition. The route was from Changi Sea Sports Club to the Montfort Center (Assumption English School).

Walked from Changi to Pasir Ris, our first checkpoint. We rest for 15 minutes before heading to Kovan through the old Tampines road. Stopped for breakfast somewhere near Ikea. Breakfast was an apple, and some biscuits. At Heartland Mall, we had another short break. We continued to Serangoon, then Bishan through the Braddell Road.

With low water supply, we carried on to MacRitchie Reservoir. Took the Lornie trail with the intention of exiting from the rifle range. Unfortunately, we met a dead end and walk back and exit through the ranger station. By 6pm, only a few groups made it to AES. The rest of us took the bus back to CSSC. We had to cook dinner again. Rice, carrots, eggs, and fish fingers.

Later, the groups going for sea expedition the next day gathered cause Mr. Tan wanted a talk with us. We separated into new groups then went to sleep.

We were woken up once at 12am and another at 4am to check attendance. At the 2nd check, several students were found missing. Apparently, they had ran home. Since one of the missing students were from our group, we had to stay back awhile so they could take our statements. Bleah, talk about deprivation of sleep.

Day 3

Woke up at 7am. Broke up into our groups and got on the bus to Pasir Ris Sea Sports Club.
Kayak-ed to Loyang where we had our lunch and back. We stopped for the day. We went back to Pasir Ris park where we set up our bashas (some tent-like thing). Finally, we had packet food for dinner. A lot of additional food also.

Day 4

The last day! We were awaken by the instructors and 6.30 I think. Ate breakfast and prepared to kayak again. This time, we kayak-ed to Coney Island. Played some games there before going back. We changed our clothes and took the bus back to CSSC. Once there, we packed all our things and ate lunch. And at long last, the bus came to bring us back to school.

Today was rather interesting, and unusual.

We had morning assembly in the parade square as usual. This time, we only sang Majulah Singapura once, yay!

Next, we started practicing some cheers, led by none other than Mr. Simen Lourds. He even played the guitar, haha.

At 10.30am, the lower sec went for their 1 hour recess while we, the upper sec went back for our lessons. At 11.30am, we went for our 1 hour recess. Meanwhile, Darren came and announced that the game we would be going to would be changed to Sepak Takraw. From Softball to Rugby to Sepak Takraw, zzz. Mr. Faizan keep changing.

So, after recess at 12.30am, those classes going for the Sepak Takraw game went to the foyer to assemble. We got on the buses after that.

I'm lazy to elaborate more, so let the pictures do the rest. :D
