EL SYF
Since I'm frigging bored at home and rotting away (figuratively and literally), I shall show you some pics from my SYF (Last Wed)
I arrived in school at 6.10am, but the LT was already bustling with activity. The few who were already there were putting on their make-up and my coach was helping them. I was giving out sweets while waiting for my turn after I had changed. At about 6.30, some of the crew(juniors) arrived and I played with them :)

I was giving out sweets while waiting for my turn after I had changed. At about 6.30, some of the crew(juniors) arrived and I played with them :)
Hehehh.
After taking this pic, we went back to the LT. I was sitting near the aisle at the middle column of seats, with my 2 juniors in front of me. We were all stoning. Then I suddenly heard this wailing sound right beside my ear, and I thought I heard wrongly since no one else seemed to have heard it. I turned around, but there were no ELDDians around, so I covered my right ear. But I could still hear it!
I froze.
Then Eileen (junior) who was sitting in front of me seem to have heard it too. She turned around and looked really scared. Then she saw me covering my ear. Then I looked at her.
"What's that?"
"I don't know."
Then Joshua Gay jumped off the stage and went to pick up his call -.- Okay, so we were over-reacting, but it was inevitable okay, after my first scary experience in the LT.
Then we helped Ning Qian to tie many many tiny braids:)
Heheh, top view of her head (effort of many!)
After that, I got bored and decided to drag some of the people who are free to do warm-ups. Coach told us to walk one round around the track and we did while doing our vocal warm-ups ("Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum, Double Bubble Gum, Triple Double Bubble Gum" x 1000 times)
[SYF at ACS Barker]
Heheh, after school, we went to Changing Appetites at Marina Square to have lunch/dinner. We ate from 2.30pm to 5pm! The food there's superb, and quite cheap too. We only spent $160 for about the 10 of us because some shared their food since their servings are quite big.
Cookie Monster!
This is utterly good :) LOVED it and it's only $7.90 or so. It's one huge chunk of icecream, and I shared it with Eileen&Josephine(juniors). And while the others went to foot the bill, some of us went outside to wait for them. Miss Ek came up behind us and went "Early Celebration ah". We got a shock, but we were saved by a call from Mr Chua (Miss Ek's).
Anyway, I think our SYF went well, and we really want to thank Miss Ek, Mr Chua, Mrs Yeow, Mdm Chia for coming down to support us! :):):)
International Understanding Day 2007

One cone per person, while stocks last!
Free Cone Day was first celebrated back in 1979 in the first Ben & Jerry's scoop shop - a dilapidated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA. Ben and Jerry had been scooping ice cream for a year and decided to reward staff and customers in the best way they knew how - by serving up a tasty tub of thanks free to everyone. An instant success, Free Cone Day has now been scooping up free cones for over twenty-five years and has raised tub loads of money for charity too.

a well worth $6.50.
Letters from Iwo Jima is a great movie.
I think the message Clint Eastwood (old chap.) is trying to send out to the audience is that not all the Japanese who took part in the war wanted to fight for their country, and not all of them are evil and like to torture the POWs. Similarly, it is also trying to say that the Americans, though dubbed the 'saviours' of the world in WWII, were not entirely good-hearted and kind (as thought by the Japanese soldiers who surrendered to the Americans).
Actually there are a lot of media that tries to portray different perspectives of the war from different types of people. If you are a Fort Minor fan, you may have come across this song named "Kenji". It is one song that depicts the story of a Japanese living in America during the war period.
Go listen.

Letters from Iwo Jima
Haha.
Ah Kiat, as usual, did very morbit things again for the fun of it...
He must be excited over the blood-gushing-out part when the americans blasted the Japanese.
It's quite a nice movie but it does not have a real climax.
However, at least it showed us how it is really like in a battle field;
The inevitability of death as a soldier and he cannot run away from it;
The pain experienced by the civilians and the soldiers' families.
I could feel the pain when the soldiers sacrificed themselves for their country.
It was a touching movie but it carried some ironic ideas and some humour.
I was quite surprised that it was not very pro-Japanese even though it was filmed in the perspective of the Japanese of World War II.
<3 janice =)
Oh ya, class, please remember to sign off your name at the end of the entry that you've posted.

Muthu is damn funny.
