I have been in my new, wonderful school for 6 months. I have learnt alot, as this is expected because I am a secondary school student. 

The +'s that I have experienced when I come here is a whole lot of fun, new experience and homework. I have found new friends here (by the way, I study in a boys' school), interestingly, I commend myself for making an exceptionally interesting number of new friends who are of the opposite sex. This was all done through the MOELC Portal. It's something like an e-mail account, but you can link up to hundreds, no, thousands, of 3^rd language pupils there. I posted a message to everybody (it's not spam, in fact, most of the people who study 3^rd language should know which message I'm refering to), informing them of what I had experienced in the earlier period of opening my MOELC Portal inbox, only to find messages which were wrongly sent.

I had become a woman. I had become a teacher.

These messages had driven me crazy, so I decided to do something about it. I sent a mass message to everybody in the MOELC campuses, excluding the teachers, to inform them about this kind of happenings. I had gotten quite a few good responses, even making friends with some of them... Well most of them actually. People who replied were mostly the good ones, making me want to initiate a friendship ^^ So this led to me getting a few more friends... I also made friends with an Ah Lian, and guess what? I don't like talking to Ah Lians. So I haven't talked to her for about... 3 months?

Of course, the 2^nd best part about being in my school was the large array of CCAs to choose from. Okay, maybe not too large for me back then, I was someone who would most probably have gotten into some CCA like a uniformed group! Either that or it was the clubs for me... Or worse, the Library Club.. (Although it is slack). God, however, gave me a chance, one beautiful chance that I did not let go to waste. He let me join canoeing! I joined in the Elite Sport, hardly able to believe that I had gotten in. (Thanks to my sit-ups too~) Everytime I look back (even if it has only been 5 months), I still feel very appalled that I had managed to get into canoeing. Well, I haven't capsized once (: (but recently, I've been using a sleeker boat, resulting in, well, some capsizing)

Now for the - points. Being in a boys' school felt weird at first. I mean, what can you expect? I was in a mixed primary school, being in a school filled with boys... I only experienced that kind of thing when I was in a scouts' camp which was held in Mayflower Primary. And even then, it was only for a few days. However, studying in a boys' school, studying there for the next 3 and a half years. Now that's something.

Another of the - points is... Well, there actually isn't much to say about my school being bad in any sense. Except, of course, for the fact that it is a boys' school (:

Interesting things that happened. Oh, that is for me to knwo, and for you to never (unless you are on your deathbed) find out (: I cannot reveal my interesting happenings in this year! Unless you are willing to burn your eyes, reading this: my canoeing team-mate brought a condom to school. Oh yea, he did. But he didn't use it, so no big fuss, right? He still got caught by the teacher though, one of his friends threw the condom up into the ceiling fan and it flew out of the classroom, landing where a teacher was.

Other 'interesting' things include, getting caught for 3 'offences' within half an hour. I got caught for talking while an announcement was being read out, then when I was standing on the jumping part of the track, the Level Consultant caught me for wearing ankle socks, and waxing my hair. Yea sure, ask any teacher, they would say that I can't wax my hair too, but it doesn't say that in the student handbook!

Some of the plans I have for the next semester include, being caught again for waxing my hair, maybe some ankle socks... Heck, let's get some more demerit points! Not that it will matter if I have them or not, I don't believe I will be able enough to attain high marks to achieve the OSA or ARE awards...

Some other plans include, building up on my body, you know, get some more muscles. If I don't, the team is going to fail next year and the C Division will come back empty-handed, heads hanging in shame... So that is why I, no, the entire canoeing team has to get their prorities right, we have to train whenever we can. In fact, every free day I have (save Sunday), I go to the school weights room.
