2A`08 :D

Promo

2011-10-07T08:49:00.002+08:00

Promotion to J2 is not to be taken for granted. I hope that you'll work hard and clear it, just clear it or even struggle or stumble over.

In case anyone cannot make it, it isn't easy in the first place. While success are rewards in itself, failures are lessons to be learnt before success finally comes home.

It's 2011.

Take care and God bless.

《仿佛》

Sharing a Chinese song lyrics... Will translate it upon request. The melody is quite nice.

很喜欢这首歌的歌词。梁文福的词

《仿佛》
仿佛天也曾如此蓝过
仿佛风也曾如此吹过
仿佛如此的笑声
在遥远日子里曾经飘过

仿佛这样的歌也唱过
仿佛这样的泪流过
仿佛这样的影子
在模糊记忆里曾经掠过

年轻时的梦话谁没有说过
画不圆的圈圈谁没有画过
似曾相识似曾相识
再相见时竟忘了你的名字

仿佛校园的钟才敲过
仿佛老师他仿佛说过
他也仿佛象我们一样仿佛
在年轻的日子里也曾醉过
在年轻的日子里也曾醉过

Speech Day 2011

2A 2008 will be close to my heart. This batch will see some of the most successful people Yuying can produce.

Love will keep us alive...

2011-06-11T10:31:00.005+08:00

I confess I love blogging, not for myself but I suspect every new post does bring cheer and comfort for anyone who checks-in to this page.

Nothing much, just a song to share...

Love Will Keep Us Alive
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive

Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive
When we're hungry
Love will keep us alive

First day of JC

2011-01-27T11:27:00.002+08:00

Dear JC/MI students,

I just want to wish you a happy first day of school. For some of you, A levels will be the most challenging academic phase, some even say university is easy. Whatever it is, stay focused for JC life can be so colourful you'll forget to study.

If you can, do me a favour, sing the National Anthem and take the pledge sincerely for two more years. This is a small country with not too many people and already some are not doing it.

Lastly, education is enjoyable, study is fun. You may not feel that in Yuying but that doesn't mean it is not true. Give it another try in JC, for some subjects you'll see rainbows and fireworks emerging.

I wish you
a fruitful approx. 2 years
a meaningful and fun education
a good A levels
new and lasting friendships while not forgetting old ones

Enjoy the process!

GanPL

What is your role?

2011-01-18T10:07:00.002+08:00

Just want to continue a little bit of Yuying here.

This is the story for the week (Story told by Miss Kok):

What is your role? As in, are you mindful of the role you are playing in life? Have you performed well in the role of your life?

Story is told of a person who did not know what is the role of his life. He spent his life seeking enjoyment and more enjoyment. Eventually ended being a drug addict...

There is a happy ending though. He finally come face to face with the question "what is my role?" and realise that all along he did not know what was his role and wasted thirty years of his life, and along the way even got his beloved girlfriend into debt. When he knew his role finally, he focussed his energy to doing well in his appointed role: to seek God and to love his girlfriend and provide for her. His life finally fall into place.

This is an interesting transition stage of your life. It is time to take stock and reflect:

Have I performed my Yuying role dutifully in my last four years?
What will my new role be? What am I going to do?

We all have a role to play. Perform well.

2010-11-21T21:24:00.004+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Graduation Day 2010

2010-10-18T23:14:00.002+08:00

2A 2008...

Fast forward 2 years. 2010: Graduation day. This is it, after all the sweat and tears I get to see you graduate (O levels shouldn't be a problem to all of you... it is just the quality of passes we're talking about).

No fanfare, no hugs and kisses. Just a warm handshake, a sincere regard and a few decent pictures.

I like it this way.

National Day 090810

2010-08-09T22:58:00.002+08:00

I have decided to post every 25 hits... since this is 75 and National day, here I go...

Some of you will go to JC next year, some of you won't

For those who are not going to JC I don't think the Poly will do anything to gather people together to celebrate National Day, you'll have to find ways to celebrate it yourself. I like this year's theme, "Live our dream, Fly our flag". I realised that whatever we go through in this country we call home, we need to realise that this is a place that is able to help us fulfill our dreams. Our dreams and aspiration may be more difficult to achieve should we be born somewhere else. There are
so many war torn countries in this world,
so many poor countries with impoverished people
so many corrupted government that only the rich can fulfill their dreams
so many racially discriminating places that you need to be a certain race to excel
although many other places boast majestic natural wonders and Singapore has none, I'm thankful that as a Singaporean, I can go to anywhere in this world and see these places because the Singpore Passport is welcomed all over the world.

As a secondary school pupil, you may feel little about Singapore, sometimes even resentful. The thing is, just like how I felt when I was a teenager who protested aircon bus services costly and impractical, there are many things to be thankful for. We all need to open our eyes to see them. With age and experience, you'll appreciate all these things better in the future.

Being a school teacher, I'm already living my dream, a dream I had since sec 3. My father is a construction worker, my mother worked in a factory nightshift (10pm - 7am) for 20 years. In other places, you need many generations to reverse poverty. But here, you can do it within your own generation.

What's your dream? Go ahead and fulfill it, there's no better place to do it than in this country.

Happy National Day.

Thank you prefects.

2010-07-14T13:34:00.004+08:00

Prefects investiture.

The whole point about the race is not winning but completing.

The purpose of the fight is not in the victory but the struggle.

Prefects, be glad not because of the praise and honour that came in today but the fact that you have lasted the hardship, the journey.

Life is not about glory and honour. It is about completing what you have started and fulfilling your promises.

Prefects, you did it.

Countdown to "O" levels

2010-06-19T00:22:00.002+08:00

Hey people,

It is time to get ready for the big one ahead. How is everyone getting on?

I long to see you all when school reopens. Even though it means no more holidays and more work.

Meanwhile, take care and may God bless you all.

Before I go, let me share with you a rainbow over my flat.

Courage

2010-05-20T11:12:00.005+08:00

It takes courage to visit this blog now.

I hope you are coping fine.

There's a song, the lyrics goes like this:

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed
What God has planned...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt0WluTpFTg

I don't know what else to say except this:

Take care.

Farewell.

2010-04-19T10:40:00.002+08:00

Beloved Egan,

Didn't expect you to journey home so soon.
But I'm sure you're in the safe hands of your Father.

I will always remember you for making the class T-shirt so special with your artistic touch.

May you bring this and all the 2A memories with you home.

You'll be missed by all.

Lost time.

2010-04-16T15:42:00.004+08:00

Dear all,

I think mid April is a good time for me to slot in this post. Not too late.

I have been around long enough. I see this every year. By April, many will settle down to study, either alone or small groups. They ask each other serious question, they want to make sure they can answer questions when the exam comes. Sometimes they slow down a little, sometimes they dash even through the night to finish chapters.

Meanwhile, another group is totally unaffected, they play ball, football, basketball... they find lessons don't make sense and do nothing to clarify. They like going out with friends. They mix with people who don't bother about their own results and even less concerned about yours. They leave it till tomorrow, they hate teachers' warning (labelled: NAGGING).

Below is the profile of pupils of what they did before and after exams...

Student D:
Played basketball till 7 almost everyday, broke a finger, MC for a while and back playing basketball. Common excuse: de-stress. Consequence: Can't get into Poly, don't want ITE, so repeat.

Student N:
Played street soccer all the way, even during O levels. Not a moment of study. When I ask, the reply was just a smile and it is back to street soccer. Student N recently commented on facebook wall: "I don't like how everyone is starting school/orientation when i'm not even close to that"

Student S:
"hey, i dont even get into any shit. im just waiting till i get call up (NS) and get raped by guys."

My plea to you: Make a difference while you still can. Other things can wait. The school will be organising night study soon, make full use of it.

Did someone complain bored? Or don't know what to do?

2010

2010-01-27T16:11:00.003+08:00

Doesn't seem too long ago when Mr Tay welcomed you all and declared you to be the batch to witness the school's 100th anniversary. Well... here you are, 3 years later and the final hurdle lies at the horizon. "2A"... has it become a distant past? (have you outgrown your class T-shirt?)With classes renamed E1, E2, E3.... things aren't quite the same these days.

However, some things still remain the same, for some, I'm still your FT. This blog is still here for you to reminisce the good times we had as a class. This brings me to the whole point about this post: I hope you'll visit this place once in a while to catch up with one another. Let us know your latest whereabouts. In due time you'll graduate from this place, don't forget to tag about your posting etc... boys... let us know your enlistment and girls... your wedding day. The list goes on. I will continue to open my house on the second day of Chinese New Year and hoping to catch up with you all.

Back to the present, I want to wish you with a million blessings in the days to come. May you sustain your hardworking efforts and get results you'd never dream of... maybe straight "A"s is not an impossible dream when you put your whole heart into it. For anyone who is willing to strive hard to achieve their goals is already a winner in their own right.

Together, achieve personal excellence.

May God bless you.

End-of-year Exams: Diary of an Invigilator

2009-10-08T11:09:00.005+08:00

Dear Exam Candidates,

It's me, your invigilator in 2008. Time flies and it's exam once again. I remembered the same time last year and all those little things that happened when I was invigilating your class. How much can you recall?

The water bottle that smashed and the scramble to restore the classroom.
The click click click of correction tape (strangely, I don't hear them now)
highlighters
lemon slices
pizzas and science results...

"best of luck"

Invigilator.

SCIesta!

" we do not compete , we enjoy the process "

CONGRATULATION to ...
Prasana, Wei Shen , Mathias , Jian Cheng & Xin Yoong for getting the 2nd runner up award
Chin Din , ChinYi, Desylia , An Ji and Li Jun for getting the championship of 2009 SCIesta
& last but not least everyone who had put in their effort!

somethings just never change,

the bond we built,

the laughter we had,

the closeness we have,

& the smile on each and everyone face ,

it's all so familiar.

i'm missing twoA , are you ?

What have we got ourselves into?

2009-06-15T13:10:00.002+08:00

"What have we got ourselves into?" (I'm asking this in a positive manner). For the past weeks, I have been asking myself this question. What have I got 2A into?

The feeling lingers long after the experience is over. It is a pleasant one. I'm glad I was part of it. I guess every now and then, round an unexpected corner, sometimes deliberate, sometimes accidentally... when one puts on the class T-shirt or even sees someone else in it. It will all come back again.

2A is no more (? I thought, but I guess I was wrong, yea, sometimes it is good to be wrong)

but I still love 2A

Hard work will see you through.

2009-05-23T12:35:00.001+08:00

Hard work will see you through (For your tears had said it all: Part 2)

Results are decided the moment the paper is handed in
Although the marks are not yet seen
Teachers are merely the rewarders
What is right and wrong
There is nothing we can alter

What remains lies the question
What makes the biggest difference and deserves our attention
It is quite obvious even to a fool
For it is hard work that will see us through

Teachers may pat you at the back for a job well done
If you slack the next moment you're back to square one
Parents could give you a scolding or a prize
The hard work behind it you don't compromise

So don't be sad if you have not done well
For better for worse time will tell
There is no short cut to success
Be sincere in your hard work
And let God do the rest

Happy Birthday Jian Cheng.

2009-05-07T14:15:00.000+08:00

Dear Jian Cheng,

Haven't really thank you for your one year contribution as a chairman, so here is it... a post to thank you and wish you happy birthday.

Speech day 2009: Some things don't change

2009-04-01T08:29:00.012+08:00

Some things don't change...

While some see new faces

Ivan and Weishen

Special permission was sought to draw them out of the contingent

This used to be Nicole

See, I told you: some things don't change

Prima donna of Chinese Dance

Repeat after me: some things ___ ____

Sok Kuan was EVERYWHERE

I hope it has been a memorable speech day for you.

2009-02-11T22:58:00.004+08:00

I came to know that some of you still read 2A class blog every day.

(Well, I do too.)

I came to know that some of you are going through all sorts of difficulty.

(Missing pet and things like that)

I came to know that some of you are going through disappointments.

(Rejected proposal still lying in your file?)

I came to know that everyone needs some encouragement.

I came to know that if there is a will, there is a way

I came to know that once you've experienced 2A 2008, life would never be the same!

So take heart, brace yourself up, enjoy each others' company... afterall, we may not be in the same class, we are still in the same school.

May fond memories see you through times of difficulty.

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

One Class, one lifetime

If life is a journey, a year with 2A is like a bus trip. It started with people from four different places converging into this one bus. Some board the bus with feelings of uncertainty, others with a sense of unjust but all to a certain extent, expectations.

What sort of journey will this turn out to be?

First, there was silence, prolonged silence

I guess it all began with a few well wishes, birthday greetings and some whacky drama and projects I began to see colours appearing in the dull grey we were getting used to. Oh yes, we had a go at a class photo. To Cherylene: Thank you my dear Vice-chair, you gave the class blog a bright start. It's a pity that towards the end you kind of "faded" but I remember that bright and cheery start and really thank you for starting the ball rolling, I long to see bright and cheery Cherylene coming back.

Then it was speech day rehearsals, many of you were juniors taking big roles. I don't know how others felt, it was then I first sense the pride of being the Form Teacher of this class.

First class outing: We managed to visit Ford Factory and had a fruitful history lesson.

Thank you Miss Song!

April was a busy month, speech day parade was a huge success. The distinction award won at the marching band assessment was really memorable in more ways than one.

Thank you Amanda, Desylia, Jasmine, Egan, Eben and Guan Shin, I dedicate the month of April to you.

Then it was May: Exams, Sec 2 camp and please don't forget the birth of the class T-shirt and class motto. We cheered, we played, we ran in the rain when it poured mercilessly during our campfire.

Thank you Ivan, Prasana, Xing Yoong and Cheryl Yuen. There's no class tee like 2A's because it was really a product of team effort from designing, making to distributing. I'm not surprised that the end product is something you all can be proud of. Also to Chin Din for handling the finances, you're my fantastic treasurer.

June, while enjoying our holidays, we managed to organise CIP at IMH. IMH expects volunteers to be above sixteen, none of you were, but with good faith and sincerity, we spend a meaningful afternoon drawing comics and printing fingerprints.

Thank you Xing Yoong, Prasana, Cheryl Yuen, Jiayu, Joanne, Ivan, Jian Cheng, Chin Din, Glenda and Wanqin.

July, the job was not over for the 10 named above. At LOCD, we had to do a presentation and set up a booth to share our experience at IMH. Then it was the BIG one, SL investiture. Some 16 of you were part of the investiture. I posted a blog entry on "Service and Sacrifice", the official class photo was taken with three of your favourite teachers. It was then I had the urgency of fulfilling the class photo dream.

To Prefects: Thank you, it was never meant to be easy. Along the way many of you have contemplated quitting. Thank you for struggling, for sleepless nights, for taking unjustified punishment, for tears of grief and frustration and most importantly, thank you for overcoming and coming out stronger each time. You grit your teeth not for yourself, but for your fellow prefect who would be worse off if you decide to let go.

August, I left the school for three weeks and realised how much a class can be missed. You burst into life in the bossa ball competition... didn't win, but who says you have to win to enjoy the game? August also marks Teachers' Day Celebration. "Miss Latha, we love you more than Maths Tutor!"

Thank you Sok Kuan and gang: You managed to forge a rather special bond with Miss Latha. Thank you Exco: You did the noticeboard and the Olympic display on your own.

September, perhaps everyone knew that the end is near, every kindness is appreciated more, and here I would like to bring to your attention...

Blog administrators, we clocked 100 posts! Well done. I have said this before and I will say again, Glenda post in our class blog more than her own. Often with lesson materials and reminders of tests and birthday wishes and words of encouragement.

October, I have seen stressful exam seasons turn really nasty before but exam season with you people is most pleasant... both mid-year and end-of-year. Read the "Invigilator's Diary". I will remember the well wishes and "Best (pronounced with "r" between "B" and "e") of luck".

Thanks Nicole Sim, you did what nobody see, sweeping the classroom to prepare the class for exams. The month of October is dedicated to you.

We were all reeling back in memory during post exam, have heard countless of appeals to turn back time... or to extend this experience for another year... as for me, I busied myself with compiling photos... watch this:

That's my way of appreciating every single one of you from Afrina to Tan Wei Shen.

Allow me to thank three more persons, if I could put an exclamation mark beside "Excellent" conduct, I would have done it.

Glenda: For putting up the blog picture, the song, and the encouragements. You are my "emergency button" who can be relied on for urgent matters. If 2A has hands, you are the left hand.

Cheryl Yuen: The one who made the difference between "can" and "cannot". If 2A has hands, you must be the right hand.

Nicole Tan: You have more than a fair share of personal problems but the difference is that you have rose above your troubles with relentless fighting spirit. I still remember you doing your Speech Day rehearsal MC with a limp. If 2A has a heart, it must have been you giving away yours.

I know when you hugged onto 2A's pillar you really mean it.

So... as the bus arrived at the last stop, you will all alight and proceed on with your journey, I will too be driving a different route next year, perhaps I may see some of you again but in any case I have enjoyed myself in the year 2008.

Thank you class, may God bless you.

Have anyone seen 2A lately?

2008-10-17T13:49:00.009+08:00

Sok Kuan,

On this special day,

I just want to thank you

for always being there for 2A

whenever a hero is desparately needed.

Its your birthday today, may you too be blessed

with a Hero who will come to your rescue when you need help.

With lots of love,

2008-10-15T17:03:00.003+08:00

Troubled? Fret not! Follow the following rules:

Good in Math and Science: Choose E1/E2 because you'll double your strong subjects.
Good in Math, poor in Science: Choose E3 and pick A. Math. It will double your Math without being burdened by weak science.
Good in Science, poor in math: Choose E3 to avoid double math. Just do well in one science. Then from the cocktail of Lit/POA/ART choose one, just don't choose Amath. Alternatively, choose E1/E2 and be ready to get squeezed by A math. Occasional squeezing may produce quality brain juices.
Poor in math, poor in science: Whatever you choose, just don't choose E1/E2. As I have said to the class earlier "What is worse than failing Math and Science?" Answer: Failing them twice.

Lastly, allow D&T teacher to indulge himself with some sales talk: It would be nice if my own form class would choose D&T. Please give it a serious thought, it is a wonderful subject.

Meanwhile....

Award and acknowledgement is still coming in.(Don't be mistaken, Jian Cheng is wearing shorts even though it looks like pants.)

As I recall our IMH encounter, there are a few names to highlight

Those who attended hours of service learning training
Those who overcome their fear at the IMH to serve
Those who bought display board
Those who made display boards into presentation boards
The one who had to do the talking in front of the judges
Those who took down the boards and sent them back to school

I changed my mind... let the names ring within ourselves.

You are appreciated.

Time is running out.

2008-10-04T21:33:00.002+08:00

I'm not referring to studying for exams.

Time for 2A 08 is running out. While preparing for your exams, don't forget to take a deep breath and immerse yourself in the atmophere of this class. The faces, the fixtures, the classroom and its colours... It won't feel the same when time finally runs out in less than a month's time. The memory is yours to keep.

The class is absolutely focused and purposeful in doing well in this exams, I'm glad

not because exam results will be good
not because I will have an easy time invigilating
not because I can present my class as a model for others to follow

BUT

because you have a purpose and you are fulfilling that purpose as a pupil by being serious with your exams.

The purpose of a pupil is to study hard and learn all that is good from one another including teachers. When you serve your purpose, you will never feel bored or lonely. The reverse is also true. There are many pupils out there who have forgotten why they are here, they have lost their way and get into trouble. Maybe we should have more sympathy than dislike for these people. Some are your friends. Do you lead these people to their actual purpose? Or you let them tell you what to do and you follow them?

You have my blessings for the rest of your exam papers.

Get well!

You know... Ivan, Jiayu and Joanne are our three "Guardians at the Gates". Their attendance are usually "assumed present" by me.

But today, only Jiayu came. Ivan and Joanne are sick on the same day. Hope it hasn't been too stressful for Jiayu to handle the latecomers without her two classmate-friends.

Ivan and Joanne,

have a good rest for tomorrow it will be exams. (That goes out to all those not at 100% health at this time) Balance study and rest to get the most out of exams. Stay cool.

Weee...Science project work during school hours ;)

Happy birthday Egan!!!
May all your dreams come true!!!

:) smile always!!!

A short note to those in love.... and out of love.

Reflect on this...

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.

E-learning day special... 19th Sep 2008

2008-09-19T09:26:00.009+08:00

Since today is e-learning day, I thought you may probably drop by the class blog. I captured this screen shot:

quite a crowded scene on msn... I hope you had fun doing the lesson modules and even more fun chatting with friends. Well... at least I had chatting with some of you.

I also hope that you appreciate and thank your teachers for the effort putting up these lessons. If you think doing them is difficult, think loading them up... Especially some who have gone through a lot of training and learning just to make this possible.

VIDEO!!

2008-09-15T18:58:00.005+08:00

Sok Kuan here, going to post a video up on the class blog. Edited a few weeks ago. Didn't add new pictures inside as it will take SUPER LONG. Sit back and ENJOY! xD

Since i am waiting for the video to upload, let me type some things..

All the best in EOY. Get into the classes you want. Although i dont want this year to come to an end. I will always REMEMBER AND LOVE 2A'2008. All the best in your future.

All the best Jiayu.

2008-09-12T06:05:00.003+08:00

Jiayu is taking her piano exams today, that's why you didn't see her in school today.

May you play your heart out and move your judges to tears. 加油！

:D

2008-09-10T19:13:00.003+08:00

Hi 2A!
Im here to clear the "cobwebs"...
All i have to say is Nash(Oral mentor???) is a cool guy :)

Anyways...Study hard for your EOY exams!!!

Final Term Sec 2

2008-09-06T23:53:00.006+08:00

Dear class,

Sometimes I wonder is it real, that we have completed 3 terms of 2008. In a day's time, we'll be entering into the final term.

Like it or not, this is it, term 4:

Boys, your days of wearing shorts are numbered
Some subjects will see it's last days... example Design and Technology (do I have a problem with that??)

I guess such are trival as compared to:

Friends, close friends and most unfortunately new friends made over the course of the year, has to separate ways.
Teachers who has gone through with you good times and rough patches, earning your respect only in this last lap will probably not teach you next year.
What about this classroom, table arrangement and every small detail that perhaps only you know.

So, in the midst of your busy study schedules, remember to take a few moments to enjoy the atmosphere of being in this class, collect as many memories as you can. There is only one 2A 2008 in Yuying history and you're part of it.

One word says it all: Cherish.

I will.

Will you?

Back after 3 weeks.

2008-08-25T07:17:00.003+08:00

I have been wondering what is the first thing that I should talk about after 3 weeks of absence. It turn out to be rather unsurprising as it has nothing to do with my absence. Instead, it is about the time of the year: I realise the first End-of-Year paper is exactly one month away. I shall not harp about the implications... One thing though, crazy as it may sound, I still believe that study can be enjoyable if you learn to look at it from a different perspective. How? Come speak to me.

2008-08-19T19:15:00.003+08:00

Hello all! (:
I just decided to update the blog since I was rather bored? Hahahha
Anyway, Nicole Tan, you've been linked.
And, Mr Gan, your message to us on the previous Saturday have been read by most of us.

Remember to study for the Science common test this Thursday!
The whole chapter of electricity!
All the best to all of you!

I shall end here, goodbye and take care!
May god bless you.......
Mr Gan, you're missed by all of us also!(:

2008-08-12T18:40:00.011+08:00

Jiayu is in the house yo! Or should I say in the blog?
Hahhahaha. Anyway, sorry for not updating about the zero8 run.
I was unable to use the computer, but never mind...
I'm here to post the pictures up, there are actually quite alot?
They are all in random order! Lol.
Okay, enough said, let the pictures do the talking!

2a`08's very own dancing king and queen! Whoooooohooooooooooo! Hahahha.

Nicole is getting all ready to pick up the rubbish lying in the park!See yourself, Egan? Hahahaha.

That's all folks!
It's a pity Mr Gan couldn't join us...):

National Day 2008

2008-08-10T23:18:00.005+08:00

I don't have much time to post but I'm glad the National Day theme song in 2002 had summed up my thoughts for you. The song is titled: We'll Get There. Written by Dick Lee (You'll remember him as the man who judged in Singapore Idol, he usually speaks first.)

We Will Get There
Music & Lyrics: Dick Lee
Sung by: Stefanie Sun
Remember the days, we set out together with faith?
Remember the times, so fine, when we thought that
Nothing could stand in our way?

Then things weren't the same, the life that we knew had to change
We've struggled through, the darkest storms
We thought we couldn't tame

Together we've tried, as we stood side by side
I knew we'd build a new world
A world of hope for ever after

Chorus:
Deep in my heart I just know
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go

With all of my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there

So now we begin, working together to win
Believing in trust, it must
Be possible to overcome anything

There's so much to do, there's so much we can contribute
By sharing just a little love
We will start again anew

So why don't we try? If we stand side by side
I know we'll build a new world
A world of hope for ever after

Happy National Day
....and I miss school. (Who is "school" by the way??)
....ok. I miss you, each one of you.

:)

2008-08-06T19:48:00.003+08:00

I'm a lousy cleaner though, so I'll just try my best.
Yep, how are you people?
Anyway, all of you should know that Mr Gan has gone for his reservist.
He'll only be back on the 22nd, but sad to say, it's on a friday, which means we'll only see him on the next monday.
He'll be missed, by 2a`08.
"Thank you Mr Gan, may God bless you!"

Also, wishing Amanda Foo,a Happy 14th Birthday!
You're officially 1 year older!
May all your wishes come true!

Investiture 2008.

2008-07-16T17:15:00.004+08:00

The following lists the student leaders in our class: 16 in all.

AFRINA, AMANDA ANG, AMANDA FOO, CHUA JIA YU, HEW CHIN DIN, HEW CHIN YI, JANICE TAN, JASMINE, LAI SOK KUAN, LIM JIA XIN, NICOLE TAN, TAN JOANNE, CHERYL YUEN, MATHIAS, LIM JIAN CHENG, IVAN

You have my blessings for missing CME lesson today. The investiture is a big event and one you should rightfully feel honoured to be part of.

Along the way, the term service was mentioned quite a number of times.

How does service to others look like (Just to name a few)?

Umbrella shelter fellow schoolmates stuck in a thunderstorm from bus stop to school gate, it doesn't matter whether:

He/she is dry while you get wet because the umbrella is not covering you
He/she thank you after the sheltering
He/she is a latecomer, frequent offender, friend or just a strangeritudent leaders from another school to find their way to the hall and miss the ceremony you long to

.Leading student leaders from another school to find their way to the hall and miss the ceremony you long to attend.
Explain on behalf of your classmate when you know that he/she has been wronged or wrongly punished
Correct them gently if they have done wrong.

Remember, student leadership is not only about wearing smart blazers and attending prestigious ceremonies. Prestige and honour do not mean much to one who has not served with passion and soon they will die off. Leaving a person wanting to quit to look for "what else is there in store for me". Look at the sec ones, the investiture is a "so fun and interesting event" that not everyone gets to take part. Now, how many of them will sincerely serve? Time will tell. Finally, look at the sec 4s, listen to the outgoing Council President, that was the voice of maturity and "priceless" affirmation. The fool looks upon such sacrifice and remark "valueless", let the fool continue being a fool. I'll say "Look! Service and Sacrifice!"

Student leadership/Councils/Excos/the "Board" - There will be ups and downs, enjoy the process, the reward? I quote from Rachel, is "Priceless"

LOCD - 5th July 2008

Random Remarks

2008-07-04T17:46:00.003+08:00

Dear Class,

Too many people are competing with me for your attention these days that I have problem addressing class issues and personal issues with you all. The same goes with me too, many things are competing with my form class for my attention as well. Whatever it is, I am determined to spend at least half an hour to speak my mind to you over the next couple of paragraphs, I really hope you'll spend a couple of minutes of your time reading. Same rule applies, no name mentioned but if you guess I am referring to you, you're probably right.

Relationship Problems
I guess it is worth the effort to repeat again: Go for healthy relationships, closeness is secondary. Adjust your expectations of your friends so that you do not suffocate one another and end up bitter beyond reconciliation. Give one another the benefit of doubt and always be willing to forgive over and over and over again. Careless words may hurt you but people don't always mean what they say and apologising is always difficult, take the first step and be forgiving, the rest will fall into place.

Nobody wants to be the bad guy and very often, people lie to make themselves look better. Along the way, truth is sacrificed together with innocent people getting misunderstood, what would you do when someone talks bad about another infront of you? Would you join in the slandering? At the end of the day, human weakness, negligence and deliberate fault is as inevitable as expecting ourselves to make mistakes every now and then. As we hope to be forgiven when we do wrong, shouldn't we extend forgiveness generously?

CCA
I do not encourage quitting of CCA. Instead I believe in taking initiative to solve problems. Problems do not always lie with the CCA, sometimes problem comes back again even after switching CCA. What are you going to do then? Switch again? So if your problem is

getting along with people (teachers/fellow members/coach etc..)
boredom
lack of interest

These are problems that will very likely come back again. Persevere and deal with it.

Studies
There are three signs to look out for when one is really studying. They are:

Reading up,
2writing and taking notes,
thinking and asking questions.

As oppose to

Opening books for display only,
having plenty of stationery on display but listening to mp3,
thinking and deciding which place is most comfortable to put up a "study-show".

Be true to yourself, you will know when you are really learning and when you are wasting your time putting up a show.

hmm.... this entry is getting too long...

I miss STI, any volunteer?

And yes, I miss CTI too.

Last note, cherish one another, time with 2A is precious, you cannot turn back the clock, the only thing you can do is make the best of what you have in your hands.

With love

Service Learning at IMH

2008-06-13T17:32:00.004+08:00

Kind of a pity that we weren't allowed to take pictures at IMH, but here we are, back from the service learning trip with the banner made together with the clients at IMH.

Oh, someone suggested that the debrief worksheet can be done online. Well, ok, if you don't like submitting a hard copy of the debrief worksheet, just do it in the "comments" section. And please, give me a detailed account, submitting online does not give you the liscence for short answers.

2008-06-12T21:57:00.003+08:00

Final Instructions

Meeting time: 2pm
Meeting place: School Canteen
Attire: Class T and School Skirt for Girls, Class T and School Shorts for Boys. (STRICTLY NO PE SHORTS)
Bring: Crayons (if you have), Clipboards (if you have)
Others: No Photography allowed (keep your phone invisible and silent at IMH)

CIP: 13th June, 2pm to 5pm, IMH.

2008-06-09T12:41:00.005+08:00

Updated! Please note changes.
Dear class,

In the end, everything went on as planned... Activities will be as follows:

Make a "We Care" flag with patients (Joanne, Jiayu, Moe, Vivian, Candy, Amanda Ang, Jasmine, Cherylene and Sze Min)
Conduct Cartoon drawing workshop (Everybody! Led by Cheryl Yuen, Ivan and Prasana. Advisors: Afrina and Egan)
Play party games (unsuitable, cancelled)
Make a photo frame. (unsuitable, cancelled)

Instruction:

5 of you will form a group and take up 5 to 8 patients in a ward. At 3pm it is tea break so you will need to serve and collect and clean up after them. Afterwhich You will move around as if you are one of them but with some cartoon drawing skills, then you will show-off your drawings and offer to draw with your target patient. Best case scenario is he/she can draw better than you or we can attract them enough to form a crowd to draw together, worst case scenario is the patient is not interested or patient has an overdose of medication and look rather blur in which case you take up the role of a nurse and be around to meet the needs, be it serve drinks, talk to them or just sit with them until they walk away. Keep drawing until time to go (4:45pm).
The flag makers will go from ward to ward to do the flag, try to help by demonstrating and (again) offer them the opportunity to put their last finger print on the sticker.

Attire is Class T-shirt and school shorts/skirt. (Theng wei's T-shirt is still with me)

Attendance is compulsory, your group leaders will contact you. Those who cannot make it will have to attend make-up CIP on 5th July Love Our Community Day.

2008-06-01T13:31:00.003+08:00

Hello! Well, hope everyone is enjoying their holiday!
And.....
Happy Birthday to XingYoong!
May all your wishes come true, all the best in everything you do!
2a`08 loves you and I'm sure you know it.

Anyway, Ivan, you have been re-linked, finally.

2008-05-25T01:04:00.004+08:00

Dearest 2A,

By the time you read this, I'll probably be in Guizhou, China. I'm suppose to rest by now but there are a few things that I must say before I go.

1) Happy Birthday Cherylene, my cherished vice chairman. I wish you love joy peace patience kindness goodness gentleness perseverence and self-control in all encounters you have in the coming year.

2) I asked Miss Chan to continue planning the CIP in my absence. Service learning leaders, please give her your fullest cooperation. The CIP day may change. You'll be updated through this class blog.

3) Cheryl Yuen, you are to contact Miss Chan to clarify the final status. I'm sorry in my busy day I forgot to get back to you.

Sec 2A 2008.... Our Motto

Sec 2A 2008... The people

Think for a moment: What it means to enjoy the process?

My answer: To see the beauty in ALL situations, even...
the most dirty job becomes a noble task in service of your friends,
the most difficult job becomes a life-changing challenge and
if you cannot do it yourself, you begin to appreciate those who sacrifice themselves to do it for you. And you thank them for that.

Day 2: Adventure never ends

Ground crew on High Elements

Leap of Faith: Said and done...

Load arrow, take aim... in that order.

The arrow hit the target board so hard that it fell off! Well done, Moe

Day one: It's a day of ups and downs....

Zipline: Also known as "flying fox" or omega descent...

Going down... Abseiling

Going up... Rock wall, Egan is ready

This is three storeys up... Warning: Please don't try this at home

Safety means: Each person up there is supported by four on the ground

A rare sight of prim and proper Nicole Tan on a bad hair day wearing a silly red helmet.

Sec 2 camp: FT speaks

2008-05-16T23:45:00.004+08:00

Dear all,

Class bonding is not a term we hang on our lips.
Class bonding does not come naturally, it has to be built purposely.
Class bonding will not happen by waiting for it. And lastly,
If you don't care about class bonding, fine, you can continue to wallow about how nice were your sec 1 days and remain there in a fragment of history. Perhaps it doesn't pay to be nice to ungrateful pupils.

(I'm getting tired of persuading people to come for the camp,
I'm getting tired of encouraging people to do good for a common cause,
I'm getting tired because I'm human too, I also need to be appreciated.)

I want to see every camper take his/her initiative. I will not run ahead of you this time.
It is your turn.
Be Enthu,
raise your spirits
You, me, let's go!

reminder! :D

2008-05-16T21:06:00.004+08:00

hellos all!
don't worry too much about your results alright? seeing so many of you cry makes many of us feel bad and sad but at the end of the day, just work harder for your EOY! :D i'm sure everyone will do really well. ;DDD

anyway, our post for today is to remind you all that there is a farewell party cum birthday party for both mr tang and mr peh. lunch is provided for all so MUST attend. vegetarians don't have to worry as vegetarian food is provided as well.
date: 23rd may(friday, last day of school)
time: 1.30pm(but come 5-10 mins earlier)
venue: 2A
(don't leave school straight after collecting your report books okay! celebrate for awhile longer!)

next, everyone will be receiving their class tee on tuesday morning and PLEASE make sure you receive it. remember to wear it on the third day of camp, which is also known as the day when we are returning back to school. coz if all of us wear it together, it will somehow look really nice as a class :D also, please inform the rest of the class about both the party and class shirt for camp. thank you all so much.

*the road to success is always under construction*

much loves,
Joanne and Cheryl Yuen ;DDD
camp countdown : 4 more days! remember to pack all your stuff! ;DDDDD

2008-05-16T14:02:00.006+08:00

Hey 2A!!! I hope most of you are satisfied with your results!!!
Even though you might have failed or did badly in your subjects,
its too late to do anything now...
All you have to do is to just start thinking at what you have done the past
few months,weeks...
You might be wondering..."I tried my best...but i could not even get the results i wanted"...
If you really tried your best,then you can blame no one...Just try harder the next time!!!
but if you have slacked during the past months and days...then you should blame yourself for not having the self discipline to stop playing and start studying!
Well,like i said,it is too late to do anything...so just have fun during the school holidays...(For those who knows that they have studied hard)
to those who have not really studied hard,you can still rest...but i advise you to study the subjects which you have not been doing well...try to catch up with the rest...
EVEN BETTER,study next semester's topic!!!

Matt,,,

2008-05-16T10:21:00.004+08:00

Tears says it all:

You do not need to say:
I worked hard and didn't play
My subject has always been on my mind
every night and everyday

Or the times that you walked out of the exam hall
Thinking you had conquered it all
You wait in anticipation for the release
Knowing nothing has gone amiss

With trembling hands you took the paper
Eyes zoomed in to the right top corner
you couldn't believe what you see
"Why me? Why me??"

They say the rest is history
Is it? You rather call it eternity
A reality you try to deny
But it is looking at you eye to eye

Friends and foes matter no more
Or whatever had happened before
Your feelings need not be told
For your tears had said it all.

With love... and comfort
FT
(I hope you can feel it)

2008-05-15T22:24:00.005+08:00

Dear all,

A bit too late to post this now. I'm still half hoping you will read this before results come out tomorrow.... whichever way it is, the purpose is to say this before results are out. So here I go...

There are some who did well... indeed very well! I hope you have the confidence to know that I am refering to you because you studied hard for good results. You are the ones who can really have the luxury to say: I will take care of my health and have a good rest during the holidays. You rest so that you can finish the race in style. You will be pleased to hear that most of you are in this category.

There are the middle group. You have satisfactory results but you know some time has been wasted on things that don't really matter. You will have to reflect on how to better make use of your time. This group also includes a few who have subject blindspots: you are good in all except one subject. You should use the holidays to overcome your inconfidence in the subject.

Finally, some did badly. I will not state the obvious things that other people will say.

Listen to this: Don't suffer alone, you have friends who can help you, teachers who are good enough to coach you and last of all... (yea, last of all... you know what I mean.)

As a class, you have exceeded my expectation. Well done.

FT

Have you finished the survey?

2008-05-15T07:04:00.003+08:00

I thought I will catch many of you who seldom look at or tag at this class blog.

Many of you remarked that you were looking forward to the sec 2 camp.

Please answer the following question using the "comments" section:

Why are you looking forward to sec 2 camp.

If you are

not going
not looking forward
don't know why you are looking forward

then nevermind.

A short and sweet little post on BGR

2008-05-11T18:30:00.004+08:00

In response to raging hormones and the urge to get attached for some of you, FT has the following to say.

"if I were to become a student all over again, I will maintain good friendship with all those girls that I like.... I think everybody will be happy in that way."

I directly cut and paste from my MSN exchange with somebody. I think it applies to both boys and girls.

Food for thought.

FT

While you were away....

2008-05-09T08:01:00.003+08:00

Most of you won't be in school today, you missed the show man....

Incident 1)
The pledge taker is not the usual ones. Instead of
"To build a democratic society...."
he went
"To build for ourselves...."(?)
Lucky today Prasana and gang not at FRC, otherwise she'll laugh until flip over... maybe the whole 2A will flip over. Poor pledge taker... must be memorizing from study notes and blurted out accidentally. Amanda, Nicole Tan and Afrina, you are appreciated, it is indeed not as easy as it seems.

Incident 2)
I should call it coincidence: two pairs of teachers came with exactly the same dressing. Miss Jolene Lim and Miss Kassandra Lim both wore white polka dots black blouse with exactly the same design. We teachers made them post together for photo session. I shall see if I can post one up here. At press time I'm still trying to beg for it.
