Dance-y Couture

LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!

2009-10-29T06:49:00.000-07:00

Ok, this week is the last week of school. Tomorrow is the last day of school. Monday to Thursday(which is today), we had our SIG (Sports Interest Group)... ARCHERY... Pictures are on Facebook. Lazy to put them up here :) HAHAHA!!!

Anyways, today, the 2010 Year 1s came and watch our modern class. We did a new step called pleading. Ms Yong wants us to practice before we do it next year. My core was vibrating like mad... hahahah!!! Thank goodness the came in only after pleading.. :P After modern, we only had 1 hr to put on make-up, costume and tie our hair before the Dance Showcase Encore started. Next year Year 1s and their parents watched our performance. AND IT WAS THE WORST PERFORMANCE EVER!

1) I CRASHED INTO NAT!!! SO SORRY NAT!!!

2) I LANDED ON MY TOE FROM A JUMP :( can't walk properly now...

Hopefully, tomorrow's performance would be much better. IF YOU'RE WATCHING TOMORROW, I'M REALLY SORRY IF I MAKE A MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A BETTER SHOW THAN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gtg and sleep now :P

WWWWWWWWWWEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Exams, exams, exams...

2009-10-24T18:19:00.000-07:00

I am so freaking sorry I haven't been blogging for sooooooooooooooooooooooo long... Seriously, I cannot be bothered with my blog anymore and with all the EOYs but now that EOYs are over I'm so bored... We've been getting back our results for the past 2 days, Thurs and Fri....

Monday 19-Oct-09:

Holiday, went out with Sera to watch Fame at Cineleisure. We ate frolick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yummy :D Then, after the movie, we went to ION. We went to Muji and Art Box. I bought a file, pen and pencil and an eraser. The eraser is for my sis btw. It was sooooooooo awesome!!! haha!!! Miss ya Sera! Meet up again yeah? oh and Reena, you better be free the next time :)

Tuesday 20-Oct-09:

We had PE tournaments, Finals. My team did not qualify for quarter-finals :( sad... But R2B qualified and played really well!!!! They were fantastically awesome! Though you guys did not get into the finals, you guys still won R5(i think) and got 3rd place!!! WELL DONE GUYS! YOU DID GREAT!!! Then we had lunch. A reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyyyy long lunch....... After lunch, we went to the hall for Mother Tongue paper checking. Apparently I beat Nat Tan and Amanda, FOR ONCE!!! But i got 1 mark lower than Li Xia... But still, I got second in class!! WWWWWWHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Then we had SAC Presentation setup. Bridget, Cherin and I went up to class to take a look at Puddi and OMG... He was really skinny and had cuts on his back. His medicine had expired and no one fed him medicine. He was left in class for 2 weeks. With limited ventilation... Poor Puddi. I don't think it'll survive it'll next year. Oh! And we got back our results for Anatomy. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I am so happy with my results!!! :D Term 3 lindsey, sissy and i did really well. It'll pull up my Anatomy marks i got in term 4. :)

Wednesday 21-Oct-09:

We had SAC Presentation in the morning after morning assembly at 9. Year 1s were in Tabula while Year 2s and 3s were in the Hall. After presentation, we had break, then SAC briefing in the Hall for next year. We then went around the hall and viewed the Year 2s & 3s SAC project. The teachers then asked us questions, Apparently, Murphy and Marcel had to write an essay hahaha!!! The SAC gallery walk ended early. We had to wait until 12.45pm before we could leave school. We went to our favourite spot, the staircase. haha... We sat there and gossip for 1 hr before we left to plaza sing. We ate at Just Asia... And I don't want to elaborate further, you want to know, ask Amanda or Sissy or Cherin or Mar or Li Xia or MinYing or Nat Tan or Clare or Joyce... Then went Made with Love and bought materials for some stuff...

Thursday 22-Oct-09:

Today, we got back out IHSS, Lit and ARC results. I'm very disappointed with my ARC. My results for IHSS and Lit was okok only... First time ever, most people from our clique cried for JC, seeing other guys comforting JC and um.. Marcel, I don't think the thing you did was necessary..., see most Year 1 gathering about JC. He studied really hard but he still did not make it. JC DON'T WORRY!!! YOU'LL NOT TRANSFER! THINK POSITIVELY!!! R2 WILL BE THERE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!! R2 WILL BE VERY QUIET WITHOUT YOU NEXT YEAR!!!! DON'T WORRY!!! After that, we had lunch. Then we went to Fred for some video viewing thing but there was no viewing. Yeah, weird right? Then we had free time all the way till 5.15pm. We then had ballet class with Ms Lau :D After ballet, we had Blossom Rehearsal with Speed in Martha.

Friday 23-Oct-09:

We had paper checking for Sci, Maths and Art form.. I'm so disappointed with my Maths and Sci results. SERIOUSLY. I could have done waaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better for Maths :( GAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok......... right. Enough shouting. haha. Because we already checked our paper for Anatomy on Tuesday, We had free time from 1015 am - 315pm.. =.= so long right? We did a quick blossom rehearsal with only like 4 people. Then spent the rest of the time in Martha practicing ballet :D until 1.30pm, when the year 2s and 3s had class. We watched Coppelia by Paris Opera Ballet. All the way, until 3 pm. We then went down to Anna and waited for our turn to go in for class. We had a guest teacher. Then, we had Blossom rehearsal for half an hour. Then at 6.30pm, we left school for VOID. VOID was awesome!!! :D Bramina, Sissy and I sat on the second row because it was free seating in the Theatre Studio (something like that. It was really small). Um... yeah, apparently, 3 SDT dancers and Ms Clarke was seating behind us. VOID was mostly about like the negative part of life, like the global pandemics, cruelty, etc. And there was a Q&A session at the end of the show. It was fantastic to watch Mr Lee and Ms Yong dance, together with all the other dancers.

Next week, were going to have our Sports Interest Groups. Mine's Archery :D We;ll have class photo-taking, and I kinda forgot the timings... Oh well, i think Nat Tan remember :) AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR MONDAY! WE'RE WATCHING "A Evening with Paloma Herrera" AND WE CAN GET THEIR AUTOGRAPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we'll also be having a Dance Showcase Encore on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, the new Year 1s who will be coming in next year is going to watch us, so we have to be in shape. On Friday, Ms Goh Soo Khim and Mr Janek Schergen will be watching our performance. There will also be other guests. We'll have to do our best during the performance!!! And pay attention during rehearsals with Ms Yong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D ok, My arm is aching now :) haha!

TTYL,

Val :)

Performance....

2009-06-09T02:06:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I haven't been blogging for a longgggggggg time and it is dead(Ryan!!!) and blahblahblah............ I have been coming home late everyday and so it explains the dead blog...

Anyway, on the 8, 9, 10 July, the Year 1, 2 and 3 dancers will be performing. Yupp, my frist ever performance in SOTA and I CANNOT wait...... We're having alot of rehearsals lately and I have bruises on my knee and feet. We're dancing barefooted for the dance, it is modern. But not as many bruises as my other classmates. Lucky me, I must say!!!!!! My teacher will always video us doing our dance at the end of the rehearsal so that we can compare it with the past rehearsals that we did. And I must say, it is wayyyyyyyy better than the other few rehearsals we had. You guys HAVE TO come and watch. The tickets have to be purchased online though. I do not know the website yet. But when I do, I will post it up here and you guys can buy the tickets, if you want to go and watch. Tell me if you are going to watch!!!!

TTYL,
Valerine;D

Camp S.P.Q.R!!!

2009-04-10T19:34:00.000-07:00

Camp ended like on the 3rd of April and I'm only posting about camp now because I have nothing else to blog about... Camp SPQR rocked!!!!!!!! We were like Roman Senates and on our camp packing list we had a "letter" from Caesar. This is how the letter goes,

Dear Loyal Citizen of Rome,

CONSCRIPTION INT THE ROMAN ARMY
The Senate is raising 7 new legions in Rome's Latest campaign to subdue the southern rebels. The Emperor Caesar has need of your service and Rome had need of your youth.

Included with this enlistment letter is a list of items you have to prepare to attend the camp.

By Order of The Senate,

Hail Caesar!

Day 1
Report to school at the same time. Camp opening by Miss Wang. Then we had sporks provided by the school(spoons and fork on one utencil) and BREAKFAST! After breakfast, we went to the field to pitch tent, where we will be sleeping for 2 nights. After pitching tents, we had foot drill where we have to sit cross legged with our hands on our knees and not moving for 10 minutes. It's not as easy as it sounds.......... Then a one hour lunch. After 1 hour of delicious lunch, r1 and r2 shared the courtyard to create our own group (alpha, sigma, omega) flag and cheer. Then, we had to create a class cheer! We had to present our flags in the hall afterwards. After presentation, we had knots and lashings then dinner.... woo-hoo! We had night walk after dinner. It was fun! We were blind-folded by trash bags and had to walk all around the school. We had a talk about The Rise and Fall or the Romans, then we had a briefing about the next day's hike to Kallang Basin for Dragon Boating. Then supper:) Bathe:) And Lights out!!! Apparently, we only had 1 hour of sleep thanks to the guys who played basketball at 3am in the morning!!!!!!!!

Day 2
Morning washup, breakfast, Campfire performance preparation, gather at the hall, then hike to Kallang Basin. The hike was 3 km long!!! Then we had Dragon Boating. We had a water war!!! Whenever another boat passes by our boat, we will splash water at them. Then, we had a Dragon Boating race! Guess what?! Yes!!!! R2 won!!!!!!! woo-hoo!!! We rock! AFter dragon boating, had a hike back to school whch seems shorter than before. After the hike back, we had camp cooking, which is our dinner. We had supper, washup and lights out. Thank goodness the guys had punishment, and that night was so peaceful.

Day 3
Morning washup, breakfast, class mentor time with Ms Wang, we had team intiative games!!! Our class finished the earliest. Then we had shield drill, lunch , then Sword drill and finally foot drill. Dinner! Campfire performance!!! R2 rocked the stage! Washup and we slept in the hall! With air-con!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Ohh and btw, foot drill was tiring... and little scary with all the insturctors being very hard on us...

Day 4
Morning washup, breakfast, gather at the amphitheatre after breakfast for a briefing about building a rope bridge. We took two hours to build a rope bridge, after that we had class mentor time, then area cleaning, where r2 had to clean bird shits off the boy's tent. then we had the passing out ceremony where miss koh, the overall teacher in-charge of the camp, gave us test tubes filled with salt of SOTA colours! Then we got our valuables back and is HOME SWEET HOME!!!!!

I still miss camp.... It's soooooooooooooooooooo fun..... We took group photos but I'm using another com so can't post it up right now:) Camp, R2, R2 Omega, SOTA rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a poem for all IJ OLQP students out there!

Excitement and fear filled our hearts.

Soon a new year will start.

Six years have almost past.

But our friendship will last.

We’ve been through it all.

And realise who true friends are.

The one that was there.

When no one seemed to care.

As our year is coming to an end,

I would like to say thanks for being my true friend.

All friends from CHIJ OLQP,

We must keep in touch forever!

This is Valerine for Dance-y Couture!
