Speech day @ Swiss

Today was Swiss' speech day.

I headed home from aj at around 2.30p.m. I was the only swiss ajcian who didn't bring the blazer and shoes to school so I couldn't go back to swiss with the others.

Reached home at 3.30p.m and I had to pack everything into my back fast. After getting everything ready, I left my home and rushed to the Bukit Panjang bus stop but when I reached the void deck, I suddenly realised I still owe Ms. Tan the comprehension book I had borrowed from her last time. Feeling A LITTLE guilty since the book has been with me for about 9 months already, i decided to go back home and get the book even thought I was already running late.

When I was in the bus, I started receiving smses from junhao and yongbin, saying my name will be striked off if I don't reach the school by 4.45p.m... Luckily, I managed to be on time for the LAST batch of briefing (I think the 4th batch already).

The ceremony was very boring. The new principal keep talking about lame stories which are suppose to motivate us and vincent and junhao were like dozing off throughout the ceremony... reminds me of Mr. Ravi's and Mrs. Koh's lessons last time, and the sad thing is that both of them have left Swiss already.

First highlight of the day: PHOTO TAKING SESSION

Get ready for photo-spamming...

Second highlight of the day: POST-SPEECH DAY BUFFET!

Food was good, and SOMEBODY (Hint: Name starts with Edward, ends with See) ate a hell lot that day. :D


ACSI student in action.
Potential winner of Singapore's Major League Eating competition! Support local talent!

Joseph arrived after that and we started doing what 4E5 does best... sharing FRIENDLY rac-*cough*-ist-*cough* jokes. Xuanhan most 'productive' joker that night... but we still support racial harmony in Singapore okayyy!!

Third highlight of the day: Jiamin's Birthday Celebration

Everybody left for West Mall after that to celebrate Jiamin's birthday. It was raining quite heavily that time and we had a hard time finding a place for all of us to sit down at. Finally, we went to the top floor of the MacDonalds' beside West Mall and Swiss dominated like half the place there.


Jiamin making a wish

I took the train with weixian, kahwai, junyoong, edward and yongbin after the celebration. Must say that chatting with edward is actually quite good after 8 months(?) cause he talks a lot!(in a good way)

4E5 spirit and classmates still as nice as ever, much better than what I think I'm getting now. Hope that we can still meet up often as a class and keep the friendship strong amidst our busy lifestyles (awww).

Touch Run: My First 10km



Had to wake up at 5a.m. to pack up for the run and breakfast. The flu was gone but my body still felt a little 'soft' due to the cold in the morning.

Car ride took about 1 hour from Bukit Panjang to East Coast Park and I reached there at about 6.30a.m. I told my father to drop me off at car park E2 since that was the closest one to the starting point but when we reached there, I din't see anybody and thought I had remembered the wrong carpark, then my father drove me all the way to car park F3 where i saw a lot of those guys in the orange touchrun t-shirt. I alighted there but soon realised that it was no where near Sand Castle Beach.

After calling junhao for directions, I finally managed to get to the starting point of the race. The walk from car park F3 back to E2 was quite far, and i felt like i had already done my warm-ups when i reached the place since the distance was about 1.5-2 k.m.

Saw a couple of familiar faces upon reaching there, most prominent one was junhao's physics tutor, Mr. Patrick Lim. This crazy and funny teacher always gives us some random comment whenever we're near him.

Soon, we had to gather at the starting line to wait for the signal. Some ang-mohs and other adults wearing those professional distance tracking device started to make us lose a bit of hope, and me and junhao saw Mr. Lim drinking some brown liquid from a small bottle which is suppose to be some concentrated energy drink! We knew he was no amateur(even though he may look like one) and we were determined to reach the finish line faster than him.

The 10k.m was quite satisfying, we wanted to stop at a few instances but managed to encourage each other to continue running, and still had some spare energy for a sprint when we were nearing the finishing point. Most rewarding thing was to complete the race under 50 minutes and overtake Mr. Lim, haha.

First person to complete the race was aj's soccer captain, jikky. A very amazing achievement as he managed to beat all those adults who look like professional runners. Free flow of 100 plus was so tempting that I had a stomach ache after the prize presentation...
