Art attack - more hamburger box

100309

More hamburger boxes are being done. and honestly? i'm starting to get sick of it.
Mrs Kerr announces that Art Attack is coming to an end. and we have to have one more activity that requires only 2 weeks of making. ahhhh....thank goodness I already did my activity. :D

So this time I go back to helping atheena. She is actually quite good at paper-macheing. She does the part which i hate the most. Actually getting the loose bits of toilet roll in place and i do the rest. Its fun painting all those stuff down. :)
But this time i get to know this girl who apparently has been to a local school before. She's really REALLY talkative and nice :) talks about literally EVERYTHING under the sun, yet is really commanding. Well she talks about slamdunk millionaire. Anyway, i thought she would have everything under control. Her work and all. But she asks me for help with it. I feel touched that people want my help. I honestly love to help. Because it makes ppl happy :D

So anyway, many still haven't finished this art work yet.

i wonderrr....will it last for the end of this term or will another one be needed? Haha. i'm reading too much Aunt Julia.

Badminton resumed

080309

Did you notice that i skipped one month of badminton?
hehehehe....well yea i did. and this week was the first of the coming month that i do it again.....wake up early sunday morning to play that wonderful sport. BADMINTON.

Today.....we started out warm-ups again, hitting the ball. I really wanted to just sweat and feel myself losing those calories. So i hit the balls. and play doubles with everyone.

Soon, the boys want to play doubles. ok. we choose partners by doing this lame thing "la la li la tam pong" I get yitong and we go against Peter and Janice. HAHAHHAHAHHAH Janice was NOT in a good mood. She was bored. but playing with yitong is fun. I am learning how to smash from him! IT IS MY RESOLUTION.

unfortunately. next week is relay for life. no badminton. :)
good thing or bad thing?

hehe

Pathfinder - To helping hands.

080309

Last week Aunty Monica asked me to help lead song service for the Adventurer Club, which is basically like the pathfinderrs, just a whole lot younger. I thought that was all I would be doing....turns out. The whole day I surrounded myself with little kids. Oh well, service for the children yes? :)

Anyway, I sang all those songs that required actions and dancing. haha. just to amuse little kids. Honestly. I was alot of fun. They don't care if you sing the lyrics wrong.....because they get it wrong too. They don't care if you look stupid.....because they like it that way. and They don't care if you mess up....cause they do too. And they're so...suporting. Energy, hyper. everything. Everything you do, they WILL follow. Its so awesome. I'd rather do song service for them than the pathfinders actually. Next, I was only planning to stay for the story given by Michael called "Freddie the Frog" all about patience that one is. BUT. gem comes running up to me and says "are you coming to class with me?" with those cute girly eyes. ARGH. i give in and be her "guardian" for the day.

Gem's class is called the Helping Hands. Its small and full of kids her age, like around 9 yrs. and you know what? LUCKY i went! there was this new kid that only spoke chinese. me being able to speak chinese...and Aunty Maria NOT being able to.....hhaha...was a bonus for me. I was a translator for the day. It was awesome! They learned how to be true. true to family, friends and anything in between.

SUMMARY : I feel older than i actually am. o_O? why? because gem treats me as if i am.....

UES - uh oh

040309

Last week, apparently they had a meeting? ARGH. I go into the room, find out there is no meeting, go up the bus to be fetched home, Bindiya says there is UES, she runs down only to run up again saying there's none again AND YET THERE STILL IS UES?! how efficient of Uplands..........*sceptical*

but anyway, no matter, this week we HAVE UES and our supervisor teacher (is it Mr.Weatherly or Mr Pouwer I have no idea) gives this inspirational talk on motivating others to know more about the environment, us being proactive and increasing our knowledge in environmental issues. THEY ARE FOLLOWERS IN THE BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE. ._. it could be me....... oh but anyway, i have a feeling the talk didn't have any affect whatsoever and i can conclude that we are still a damn lazy bunch of kids trying to fulfill our CAS hours. :P

I get dragged off to wash bottles with Ivan, Boom, Jason and Mark. Its normal, nothing spectacular, nothing boring. You JUST WASH. however, it is a little icky, people stuff the most unusual stuff in that recycling bin o_O

washing takes time but I get to know more about the people in Uplands through this time. :) its nice. Next up. we deposit the washed bottles somewhere behind the Art room and Ivan says we need to make a sign. We head back to the DT classroom....to find....people hanging out. WOW. that talk REALLY did not have the slightest affect. amazed yet......kind of expected. hehe. Anyway, we eventually get chased out. Ivan does the sign and we go spray one of the bins red for the upcoming battle between houses. Upcoming as in next year or whenever we feel like it. hehe.

That pretty much sums it up. I like to help. I don't mind leading, but helping is much better for now. I still feel brand new to Uplands.

I AM PSYCHED FOR MY COCONUT IDEA THO. I LOVE IT! ahhahahahha. <-- i feel so....SINFUL. pride! D8

Art Attack - Hamburger box continuation

030309

We continue again doing the hamburger box which was suggested by Midori. Alot of them haven't started paper mache-ing them and a few of them haven't even started the box! But Hui Ern to the rescue!! I help this one lost girl start from the very scratch. So I find her two plastic round boxes. Help her do the top part for the bun, the "meat" part for the hamburger, and the closing bun. Then we do cheese, she makes it a double cheeseburger with 2 slices of cheese and slices of juicy red tomato. THEN, we discover that the bun is a little flat and very INdelectable. So we tear it open! stuff more newspaper inside and now it is a complete JUICY looking hamburger with a fluffy bun.

Then.....vince starts talking to me and we get scolded slightly by Mrs.Kerr. >_< oops. have to concentrate on work! we aren't here just to slack! anyway, I then migrate to helping this Tina paper mache her tomatoes and cheese. Paper mache-ing is a little messy andddd....you have to do it right. Can't just simply glue the toilet paper on! it requires skill and technique. but basically, all you have to do is make sure the toilet paper really STICKS onto every bit of the model. No point in making shapes that can't be later shown yes?

Time FLIES. bells rings. we're out!
There were pics taken by phumi and vince! UNfortunately, they don't post it up anywhere and sooo.....no pics over here. sad sad. i need to get a camera. T_T
Tonight i'm heading for prayer meeting :D
Praying calms me.
