The Recent Spate between Sec1O3 & 1O3's CMC

On Friday and Monday, our class just replaced our monitor, who did not do a good job. Just 2 days after stepping up, our new monitor was being opposed by some people. As he came up with rules that are not reasonable, many people did not follow the CMC while others supported them. Opposing them was not a good choice as they had a strong backing from the teacher. However, supporting them will resulting in losing your friends. This was what happened to my friends. One of them said that he supported the monitor while the other is not supportive of the CMC. In the end, the one who disliked the CMC shouted,"Get lost larh, you want to support CMC go away larh! Down here is those who oppose CMC!" In the end, he felt so hurt and pushed the table and ran out of the classroom crying. It is such a difficult choice to make. Also, the monitor pissed everyone off by holding class meeting during recess. They even used 2 periods to do revision with us. Even though we knew that they meant well, we did not like their arrangement as we wanted to do our own revision. However, the CMC agreed to take down the rules and let the class show that they can behave well. From this incident, I learnt that the CMc and the class is like a big family. We should not have any differences and should learn to give and take.

I Am So Happy I Got A Gold For NAPFA :D

On Wednesday, I took my NAP FA 5-item test, and I felt that I had did quite well. In total, I got 23/25 marks. I did exceptionally well in my Standing-Broad-Jump and Sit-and-Reach stations. I managed to come in second and first in the respective events in my class. I managed to jump 223 cm and I had improved by more than 10 cm. I am so happy as i thought that I would since i did not train for it. I managed to stretch 48cm to top the class. However, I did not fare as well in my 4X10m and my inclined pull-ups. I only got a B for both of the categories. Two weeks ago, I ran my 2.4km. It was quite slow as I haven't ran for quite a while. I missed my A by 0.4 seconds as I am 12-years-old. I hope that i would be able to improve and hopefully get full marks for my next NAP FA test. All in all, I am quite satisfied with my results and I will strive to get better results next year and I hope that I will enjoy all the fun games in my following P.E. lessons.

Yay, HCBT going into Top 8 in Nationals in 90 years of history!

Tomorrow will be the last round robin match in the prelimary round of the nationals. There are 16 schools participating, four from each zone. We came in 3rd in the West Zone, but we so we did not have a good draw. However, it seemed that it was the best draw amongst the west schools. Boon Lay Secondary were grouped with Singapore Sports School and ACS(I), Kranji had SJI and Victoria and FuHua was with Raffles. However, we had a tough oppponent: Dunman High School. It was the first match against them, so we had to be mentally prepared well for that day. If we won, we would get into top 8. Seeing that we will have a tough time, our teacher-in-charge said that he would treat us to Japanese food at the restaurant outside the Sports Hall. We were so motivated and kept cheering our players on. We put the best players out first so that we would gain an advantage and would have confidence in baeting them. We won the first singles and first doubles against them and had to win the second singles, or we would lose. We did not expect us to start off by such a great lead in the first set, and in the end the opponent lost all his confidence in himself and lost the match with less than five points. All of us were so happy that HCBT managed to enter Top 8 for the first time after almost 10 years. We hope to keep up the good work and be able to maintain such good results.
