I guess its waaaaaaaay past the Thanksgiving spirit.
Anyways, I shall still post on it.
85th Thanksgiving Carnival (050909)Mac for breakfast with Casandra, Jean, Alson, Javier.
Then went to school to set-up stall at 9am.
Perspiration, tiredness, frustration; all to describe the setting-up.
I have to say that we're the most creative class ever.
We actually tied strings from the tip of the tentage to the ground.
Then, we used tape, tape &
MORE TAPE to fasten the string to the floor.
Not good enough?
We actually got those pebbles from the CMS area,
and used it to anchor the string down.
Then, we taped & taped & taped even more.
& you know what?
CLEVER ADAM had to trip over the string.
Yup, & the whole structure broke down.
So Miss Lam came & commented.
Saying we were stupid(?), dumb(?).
Then she brought these bamboo sticks to fasten the string to,
to make sure our posters don't crumble again. -.-
She gave us lollipops. :D
Rushed off for duty-briefing at 12pm.
Mr Gage briefed us.
" Prefects & UGs will be taking turns every hour. "
So I went off
VERY RELUCTANTLY for my duty.
Oh wait, want to know what's my duty?
Ushering, in the hall.
What's at the hall?
Our dear LYC's iBounce & some lame ball game.
Walah, nobody was there.
Practically
NOBODY.
Very bad business.
iBounce starts at 1pm, so we were kind of 'off-duty' for awhile.
Watched the opening ceremy at the ledge over the side of the hall.
Brass-only band played fanfare.
BORING.
As soon as the carnival was initiated,
everyone scattered from the quardrangle.
So I began doing my duty & conversing to LYC(chatterbox) & Sean.
Was hilarious seeing some people jumping on the trampolines.
Finally, iBounce started & ended at around 1pmplus.
So... Adam 'discreetly' ran off from duty,
intending to slack & enjoy the carnival. (:
The atmosphere was a perfect carnival mood.
Loud boomboom music plus noise.
Explored the many stalls.
Visited my own class' stall.
Hello-ed to Pakhrin.
A&J were picking up pingpongballs.
PATHETIC. :D
Found Casandra & Jean. (& later, Gladys)
LUNCH!Bought some $2.50 worth of coupons nasi lemak.
Picnic at the CMS area.
Casandra showed her unglamorousness in eating.
Then, bought cupcorn. (or corncup?)
Cup was hit by soccer ball, (thanks to some idiots)
corn splattered around.
Was quite amusing, actually.
Thank God that I controlled my emotions. (& did not explode on them.)
Surprised by Jonathon & WeiChuan!
Casandra gave him that weird look again. HAHA.
I seriously didn't expect to see them there.
& it's like, finally getting to see emmations after 2weeks?
So glad to see Jonathon again. (:
Sooooon, was chased up to the hall for duty.
(In other words, was caught not doing my duty. :X)
Got an earful from Mrs Lian; so expected.
Saw Jun Tian upstairs. (& then Jia Min)
But I was guilty, & in a state of remorse until I saw Jonathon, again.
Caught up with him for a bit.
Then, off-duty!
Rushed home to change into band uniform.
Full uniform. -_-
Lucky our blazers were in the band room, or we'd be roasted.
Back in school, carnival mood was still on.
(& we had to go for band. -.-)
Reached the band room at 4pm.
Set-up flute, fall in, practise, set-up chairs, blahblahblah.
Soundcheck at the field at around 5pm.
HOT WEATHER.85th Thanksgiving Night ServiceStarted off with 2 of band's songs.
Then 2 of choir's songs.
I liked their first one with the solo parts.
Super nice.
Opening by Rev Nga & another Reverend. (whom I forgot)
Campfire.
Torches.
Primary School's performance.
School Song.
Dance performance.
Old/New flags.
GB's creative drill - Faith.
Splendid performances.
A bit of worship(played by Luke's band) here and there.
Finale was worship led by Mr Kang.
Band went very high.
Waved lightsticks.
Crowd sang.
Huge & bright moon.
Post 85th ThanksgivingSupper(some dinner) with lots of people.
Talked about things.
(:
HAPPINESS. (:PHOTOS:
facebookSAM (080909)Woke up late. (FINALLY! A plus for the holidays.)
Spent the morning thinking about what to do for art competition later.
Rushed to SingPost at Paya Lebar to buy my gold paint.
Then went to school.
There, I thought of a new idea & my write up for the competition.
Met Ms Han(New art teacher. She's cooooool.), Jia Yi, Andy.
Cabbed to SAM(Singapore Art Museum).
Saw Nicole Natasha Chee.
Not much anxiety though, & I don't know why.
Found a nice space, and settled down.
Waited for competition to start.
We did not use canvas. ):
Drawing block was provided.
Adam's weird habit #1: Don't like to wear shoes to draw/paint.
(Since I'm cross-legged on the floor)
Original idea: (try your best to visualize)
- A single line of red paint, brush at the end.
- Golden wisps spring up from the line of paint.
Simple?
That's my theme.
Art is SIMPLICITY MADE DIFFERENT.1st idea failed, miserably.
Started on another idea.
Was simpler this time.
- A garden scenery
- Rainbow (which turned out ugly, URGH)
- Sunset
This one is much much nicer. (photo at facebook)
Jia Yi did hers with 'art is life.'
She painted an embryo with a mindful of colors. (which symbolizes art)
Andy did his with 'art is creation.'
Typical anime girl bursts out of a light in a dark background.
As I walked around the hall a bit for inspiration,
I saw that many of others' paintings were very professional.
Mine cannot be compared to them.
But, to me, I think my painting is already very good.
It is simple, but nice.
& it's also different, since everyone's is so difficult.
3hours was more than enough. (:
PHOTOS:
facebookPost SAMWent to mac with Jia Yi.
Talked a bit about our works.
I think the best out of us is Jia Yi's, then mine, then Andy's.
Jia Yi's is very unique & is a perfect link to life.
Mine is simple, but different.
Andy's is too simple, & has no link. (Sorry, that's my opinion.)
Well, we shall wait for the results. (Don't think we'll win anything -.-)
Oh, we're gonna get our certificates during assembly some day. -.-
RANT:
On 85th ThanksgivingNight service.
I(I'm sure everyone else felt it too) was super pissed.
Pissed off with the sec1s.
I mean COME ON.
You guys are worse than the primary school kids.
When we did the wave & cheer, you guys just sat there.
Even the primary school kids cheered & waved better than you guys.
What an utter disgrace.
This is for the school; the whole event is.
But you all came to destroy it?
Please.
If you're just gonna sit there to comment & laugh at us, then why bother?
Why even bother coming?
Maybe Miss Ho made a big mistake by sending you guys down.
Maybe it would be better if the upper sec came instead.
Really.
The wave completely stopped at you guys.
The whole of the back rows were not standing, not cheering, not clapping.
Even the ex-students & current students in the middle were better.
What an utter disgrace.
What an utter disappointment.
(This is clearly to target the BAD Sec1s.
If you have a clear conscience, then this shouldn't be about you.)
What a bad way to end this post, eh?
