Coach got no complaints . Okay, JiaMing didnt come, coach unhappy. The only thing bad. ): 1 ball dented, couldnt save, srye. 1 ball, dear jasper, thanks for sending it to "heaven". Okay, the ball was stuck above the projector, nice one. -.- Okay, honest boy, he owned up and paid 50 cents, cool. Oh, I learnt sth from coach tdy. He gave me 5 words, I don't quite get it. He said,"Out of difficulties make Miracles." Don't quite get it but somehow still know a lil bit . Haha ok. Beside that, everyone was enjoying and training .

Not many people attended CCA today. Maybe sec ones did come but most disappointing was that sec 2s, the trio didnt come uhs. Oral ? But why did the sec ones and some sec 2s had their oral but they were still there at 4:30pm ? Even if it was just 1 hr, at least coach was able to see you are willing to learn . He wasnt happy of course. He commented:"Everyone no heart to play, sigh. Then I come for what. See, the sec 1s boys came even though they have oral an hour later. Why can't the rest do the same? Then sec 3s some girls came at 4pm, also no heart to play one, come for what? No heart learn, don't learn ma. Waste everyone time......." Darn, I got nth to say. I just stood there and listened to his complaints and naggings. I could not argue with him. Or I should say, I could but I would not. I was uneasy of course. Due to that, went in search for those not oral who are the sec 3 girls. Aiyoyo, was I supposed to scold/punish? Err , I don't feel like, I would feel bad. WHat did I do ? I pleaded them not to be late again. Oh my god. I must be crazy. Ok, apologies accepted. Everything were well till band students were marching and their leader shouting at them. Coach again commented:"Who are they ah? Why they all got go for cca ? Why our cca so empty?" Arghs, how he want me to ans. -.- Its not like I am a psychologist and know why they didnt go for cca. -.- Next thing he commented was when sec 3 girls went for break which coach said they went for 35mins. Again, I pleaded them to concentrate and limit their break to 5 mins and the best damn thing was they were still chatting while playing. Haiyos, maybe coach too many complaints? Or am I too kind? HAHA, laughs. Anyways, what I just want to say is that, everyone please come for CCA punctually. Got time , come. Break as usual limit to 5 mins only. Don't slack just because no teacher is there. Must prove to be independent.
Btw, 3 balls were dented. 1 was stepped by Jasper but he was honest! He paid 50 cents. (: Everyone should learn. Another 2.. Tables squashed it? Idk, i don't wish to know. A table, dropped and hit Noel's head uhs and the edge hit his knee uhs? Only 1 girl was helping him and the rest were either talking/packing/pushing tables out. Lucky the table was alright. And thank god that Noel didnt crack his head off. Hopefully he is alright. Now, learn sth from this accident ok? No more next time... Okays, thats all for Tues. Thurs CCA as usual 3pm reach hall and girls, please help the sec ones boys to set up tables and nets. Do your part, its your CCA too. Everyone, jiayous. (:

Saturday friendly match against CHIJ SJC wasnt very bad. Okay, organisation quite bad, their school's lighting quite bad.. But, they are not excuses of playing badly. Its not they budget dont want switch on the lights luhs.. Its just the lights are spoilt, no choice, must be considerate. Organisation.. Okay, I admit, my fault. I didnt plan it well ok. I am sorry, my apologies. Anyways, our senior boys played too and they won? Okay, some . Overall, won .
Including the girls, overall results were so-so. Thought we would win doubles and singles. Haha. But, we lost doubles by a point, 4-3. Singles.. YAY, WE WON! :D CHEERS ! Okay, 24-20 . Thanks to everyone! However, mistakes unavoidable. I don't know what's wrong with some of the girls but I know Jasmine Kong super disappointing. Lost to a sec 1 girl, not very pro some more. 3-2. Lost, AGAIN. 1st time lost to her was Lian He Zao Bao tournament. Saddening but I guessed maybe I wasnt serious and I just couldnt hit high balls. Hais, disappointing and demoralising yeahs. But nvmds.. Its over, look on ahead. Not the end of the world. (: So, Sheila , ShiHui and Melody. This trio. Sheila- Lost 2, won 1. (What happened?) ShiHui-Lost 1, won 1. (Did you try your best?) Melody-Lost 1, won 2(Best among the trio? Did you learn anyt?) Coach wasnt really happy about these results but he just smiled very.. idk. seem sacarstic to me. Sometimes, I wondered if his remarks are demoralising us or motivating us..... The boys, coach wanted all boys to win but of course it didnt happen. And anw, coach said we have to "la" or make the ball more spin in order to win them. Its okay, more friendly matches will be organised soon(Try ok) and we could maybe, train harder(Must). Thats all for the match. If you're think you played great enough, maintain. If you think the opposite, train harder. Pull up your socks ! JIAYOUS ! GANBATTEH ! A-ZA A-ZA FIGHTING ! :D

Tues
What could I say? Coach didnt come that day, a few were jumping for joy. Left me speechless. So what did we do? Hmms. We trained yeahs, cool. We asked for permission before leaving the hall, max 5 mins. The only bad thing seen was 3-4 players sitting by the side, chatting away happily. 3 times warning given before you all play. Ehh.. , not serious . Don't learn. Beside that, everything okay except finding 3 spoilt balls. No one owns up, sad. But the balls are safe. Btw, slightly more than half box full of balls is now reduced to like er, less than 1/2 ??! Hey, thats like alot ! But, doubt is our fault. Might be some other students stealing our BALLS. AHH ! We have to lock the cupboard ! Ok , must remind teacher , noted. After trng, everyone did their part , co-operate but found out that people tend to stroll while pushing the tables. Took a long sweet time, 10mins ? Tsk, longer than break, aiyoyo. Haha. But well, can be improved. Then , another case. Sec 1s allowing badminton players to play table tennis and even suggested leaving a table a ball and a net to play with them after 6pm. Dunnoe say Yes or say No. If I said Yes, would it be a right thing as they willl come for 2nd time? Or will you all really improve if you train more ? If I said No, would you be unhappy and are you gng to tough up and argue back ? What if i said no and i was actually training you how to argue back ? Uhs .. Next time, dont ask me ok... If you play, the uncle will have to wait to lock up the hall, and he needs to have his dinner with fmaily one you know. So what should i say? Er.. No more next time ah ? -.- Next is taking long sweet time to settle down and listen. This is such a common prob that there isnt any solutions. So, just co-operate will do. Thats all for Tues. Lousy Tues . Grading: 2 out of stars. :\
Thurs
Jasmine Kong was late, pls don't learn. Never learn, she's a bad girl. No punctuality, tsk! Anw, coach did come. So, everything fine. Only 3 balls spoilt. 1 cannot save, 2 otehrs saved. Ohs, someone left a Nike plastic water bottle in the hall and Lee Yan's CCA card left over there too. These passed to ms chew alr ok. So, if items are yours, go find her. Best ifyou just take your things along with you. What if one day you dont have anything on with you, are you gna leave one of your limbs or eyeballs at the place?? C'mon manzx, responsibility. You are the mother/father of your things, look after them! Okay, thats all for Thurs. Nth much, everything were in place. (: Grading: 4/5 stars . :D
Improvements to be made? Ganbatteh ! (:

So, tmr everyone is to be in sch by 8:20am with bat, thermometer and CCA card. Boys will wear their butterfly/sch competition shirt(White with black words one). C girls wear Yasaka Blue one and B girls wear Pink Yasaka. Boys can wear butterfly pants if they want or pe short. Girls wear PE pants la hohrs? Dont so troublesome, one for all , all for one. (:

Schools to resume CCA programmes next week with H1N1 precautions
By Satish Cheney, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 13 July 2009 2148 hrs
It said schools will also take precautions such as temperature-taking and visual screening for flu-like symptoms at the start of sessions.
The ministry said some schools have already resumed CCAs to allow students to train for sports meets or to prepare for the upcoming Singapore Youth Festival.
Life is almost back to normal at Rulang Primary, except that students still have to go through mandatory temperature checks. All co-curricular activities have resumed after being suspended for the last two weeks as an H1N1 precaution.
Low Min Chye, vice principal, Rulang Primary School, said: "CCAs are an important part of our school curriculum. So this is the reason why we decided to resume, but measures are taken such as CCA groups are kept to a small group and very importantly the pupils are kept together for a maximum of 45 minutes."
Besides this, Channel NewsAsia understands that ministry guidelines also state that where possible, students should avoid close contact and be at least two metres apart.
As a precaution, at least one secondary school is known to have stopped one-on-one counselling sessions to minimise close contact.
Over at Republic Polytechnic, a rule restricting students to certain canteens has left some students disgruntled. So the school has decided to ease up a little on that ruling, but said it is in a unique situation where being over-cautious is important.
Ang Keng Loo, senior director, Student Affairs, said: "We don't have a lecture theatre system where everybody sits there and listens. We have groups of students discussing actively throughout the whole day and the amount of interaction they go through, should there be a person who is infected in that group, the transmission is almost like 100 per cent."
One of the reasons for Republic Polytechnic's stricter rules is because of the initial rapid spread of the H1N1 virus among students. 105 students have been infected so far. 97 have recovered.
Latest figures from the Health Ministry show that there are currently 49 H1N1 patients in Singapore hospitals, including a 51-year-old man with diabetes and hypertension in intensive care. - CNA/vm
- By the way, Sec 2s, please pass your NYAA booklets to Sheila by Wed 15 July which is tmr. Okay, my fault, I didnt update earlier, blame me . =.= And those who passed up alr, my fault agn for not reminding you all to complete. Ok, blame me. I apologise. Now then I update, my fault, sorry . But please, for now, by hooks or by crooks, complete your NYAA booklet by tmr end of school and pass to sheila, 2D. Co-operate yeahs, thanks. (:

Oh well, havent received any news on the resume of CCA, think next wk also wont have any la. Sadded right , hais. Okays, just received an email from CHIJ that friendly match might be postponed maybe until this H1N1 cases calm down. Postpone is dued to no big gatherings and oh well, such 'great' choice.. The knock out friendly match format has been drawn out on microsoft Excel but seems like it would be difficult to understand... Its actually the juniors sec 1s and sec2s would be playing 2 times each except sheila, shihui and melody. These 3 flowers and sec 3s girls will be playing 3 times each. 1 time maybe 3 sets/best of 5. 5 of the boys will play 2 times each except Jiaming (3 times). The CHIJ ladies will only be playing 2 times each beacuse they have got so many more people than us. Hopefully, everything will turn out fine and hope its successful. (: Please stay tune to this blog for any updates! (: Leave a tag before you leave too, thanks. (:

Okays, stay calm.
Due to current H1N1 which have shot up to 800, MOE had decided to stopped all CCA, remedials and morning assembly. There wont be any CCAs for this week and maybe the upcoming week. Stay calm. When cca start, must train hard. (:
Also, friendly match against CHIJ will be held on 25th JULY, saturday, 9am. Its been confirmed currently. However, if H1N1 worsened and schools closed down etc, this friendly match have to be postponed. So, hopefully, everything will go fine successfully!
Everyone takecare of yourself and prevent going to crowded places yeahs? See ya !!! :D
