Dear Padlet,
Today was my CoL!!! But, I needed to wake up early as I needed to set up the bluetooth speaker. Also, it was raining a little bit outside and I hate the weather on Monday.
After that, the first shift was chaotic! But, other classes are great in their booth, while S107 not so much activity, do not know why they don't like our booth. Maybe it is just too white!
The second shift is ours. I don't know but I felt intimidated as my friend's parents were asking lots of questions. I feeling is "Please be over" but that 45 minutes session is turned into 45 seconds.
The others I just turn into my book on a Bawse. One of the tips they say is to pause, which is sometimes so true as sometimes there is so juch work that you need to meditate and relax for five minutes and get back into another one.
SPM was great, can't wait to try to get back on track!!
That's all! So excited for my GCP trip, just want to learn the origin of Ho Chi Minh City, or as they call it "Saigon"

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Dear Padlet,
I started to do volunteer work!! Went to an open field  at Blk 118 for the Vesak Day carnival and helped out selling Kueh Lapis! Raised $1238 for the Singapore Buddhist Free Clinic! Really a huge milestone as my first volunteer work as a humanitarian!!
I always wanted to use my interest in AIDS / Human Rights into action, and this is one way to do it!
Went to popular to get a book written by YouTuber ||Superwoman|| (aka. Lilly Singh). Gosh! She is so inspiring! How to be a Bawse, and I really going to conquer as a BAWSE!
Finshed some of the holiday homework! But, this is always the process of doing the homework. I start slow as I am not used to the speed, then at the third week I go very fast to familarise it and soemtimes it will be a bit last minute .
That's all I have, Adios!
Yours sincerely,

Dear Padlet,
"Its Saturday! It is a greatday! Please be nice to me!"
I went to chinatown to get my Vietnam counterparts gifts! Also getting myself a keychain that syas "Teng Jun" for people who knows me well and "Thomas" for SST S107 peeps! What I also got is a tripod that can be transformed into a selfie-stick. That is great!!
I actually wanted to get an SD Card for my camera that is only 8 GB! Gosh! Basically, this is it for the day which is pretty boring as we went to buy some things for GCP and was just thinking whether I should bring my bday bag?
Sorry Mrs Jang, I will get a better entry tomorrow!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Dear Padlet,
"Week 8! 8! 8! I am feeling great! And I hope it's great!". Just a lingo that I created.
Today is Sports Day! HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! Anyway, first time to be traveling to an unknown place: Clementi Stadium. That went through smoothly and had some help with Shawn Ng and Joel who always is counting on us!!
Had the opening ceremony which is very special as the champion house captain lighted the flame to represent our olympic values which is great! Had the athlete's pledge which is awkward...but yay!
Long story short...:
4x100 and 4x400 male and female featured Audrey, Hsu, Royston, Zen Haan and Lek Heng. I screamed for them. Literally, screaming like... YELLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! FASTERRRRR! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!
I know, but that is worth it Lek Heng won first in 4x400m race and Zen did well in 4x100m! Hsu also did well. Me, together with Adabel, Xing Zi, Wei Ning and Wesley (who was screamly 10x as much) was cheering on! Not bad as they win 3rd! My throat then was very inflammed but got better by the end of the day.
Also, ate a lot of snacks which includes...
1. Ice Cream
2. Chips
3. Skittles
4. Drinks
Wow!! Great diet!!
The staff race was awesome!! First time seeing Miss Neubronner and Mr Lim running like a sprinter which was fantastic and was shocked thta Ms Neubronner was fast on the tracks! I think she is specialised in running 42.195km along the PIE!
We also had lunch together at Clementi Mall and got a great sesion together with our friends!! I hope we can do all of these again!
Anyway, a long day deserves a long sleep. Time to get back my hours!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Dear Padlet,
Today, we had a student leadership development programme by our seniors. We had a few games which is the usual classic "Splat Bang!" and also there is a little game show called "password". It is to write a word and give clues to your friend to lead to that word! We had lots to learn from this course about time management and the different techniques such asthe five thinking hats where we think and act on these hats to any scenarios to come.  We were also given scenarios to act on when something happens to you and we were also given time to debate on what is going on and who is right and clear out the wrong conceptions of these things. Feel that this session is really good as we have the responsibilities on what is important and...great!
Then, we had our CoL rehearsal which is great! had a great session with Mrs Jang and my classmates as we tried to make this presentation a success! We had a great discussion and hoped that CoL will be fun!
Made cranberry juice popsicles by using the remaining juice from the juice box and put it overnight and it was amazing!! I hope I can do more of these things again!!
Anyway, got to sleep, tomorrow is sports day! So excited!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Dear Padlet,
My friends and I went to Seletar Golf Course to play golf planned by our school. I cannot believe that I did pretty well in golf. Even though I missed hitting the ball a few times, but gradually I am getting the hang of it. The real pro is Kit Hint (aka. Kit Kat). He hit way further than the rest of us! He was trained by his father followed by his school and won tournaments. No wonder he is so good at it that he made us feel bad.
Edited my video on the first episode of "Spread love to all, y'all!". I talked about the stress of education, the stereotypes that people made, and also the inequality of education in Africa. Did some DIY set-ups by using used lamps and use it as a lighting for my "convertible" studio. I do not want to waste money and thinking that DIY made us crack our brains.
Anyway, I felt that I may want to take up golf.

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Hangout with best friend...    and my friend almost vomit!! (13/5)

Dear Padlet,
I started off the day with a simple recipe that I have created. It is called "Neubronner chill ax". It was inspired and dedicated the drink to Miss Neubronner, our ADMT Teacher on her patience and guidance to us and also enduring our childishness and get to play with us a little bit. I have used Cranberry and Apple juice, to represent Miss Neubronner's kind attitude towards us. I put lime to give a zest of Miss Neubronner's laughter. And, I also add jalapeno simple syrup to give the heat of Miss Neubronner's anger and defense. Got a taste test and was phenomenal! After that, I went to my friend's house to get a swim. After one kilometre of swimming, I showered and went to help with the barbeque party. After the party, we went to the playground to have some fun. Then, my friend got dizzy as someone (not me as I am one of the victims) spinned us and he almost vomit and had an asthma attack. Thankfully, I send him back home and was doing fine!
What a great friend I had! I hope me and my friend can do this again!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Mother's Day Surprise... and flu jab for GCP Prep!!(14/5)

Mother's Day Surprise... and flu jab for GCP Prep!!(14/5)

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Padlet,
I had a great time for Mother's Day! I bought my mum a Louis Vuitton bag as she had no branded goods before. She loved it a lot!  Firstly, I went to my Buddhist Dhamma class, we were discussing about "Buddhism vs. Homosexuality". This has implied the five precepts in Buddhism to Homosexuals as they are being stereotyped as a let down to the society and also to your religion and etc. Our buddhist teacher, Teacher Rita says that it was not breaking the five precepts of buddhism, and was told that Homosexuals are perfectly normal people, except that they have interest in the same gender. And then she said that it is their own choice to do what they like, and not to let others to interfere with them. "Mind your own business!" as what they called.
After that, I had a flu jab in preparation of my GCP trip to Ho Chi Minh City as I want to protect my body, and I am already feeling sick and sore. Then, we had lunch and then, we went for a simple outing to get some things and have a drink with ham and cheese sandwich with "kopi"(which was drank by my parents). Then, I went back home, to do my first episode of "Mocktail Times!" My editing is still in progress!
We had Mother's Day dinner at the National Stadium area. We had a great time enjoying those deilicacies!
Anyway, I was in the night when my sister wanted to study. She says that having a eyemask will cover the light and also gives you personal time! Sweet!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Rank 2nd in Chinese... and I D7 my math, which eventually turned C5. (15/5)

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Padlet,
Today was a crazy day on my papers! Firstly, I really cannot believe that I have received 72% for Chinese, ranking second among my entire class, behind Xing Zi! If I have ever received this kind of marks, I will be ranking 25th out of 40! Next, was english, I received a fairly average marks, but my section B I did not expect that I will get 25/35 for Section B. But Section A pulled me down! Science was the part I am not really proud of, I looked through my Physics, received 28/50. but when I look through my mistakes, it was 80% careless! I cannot believe that possibly the best subject in science would do so badly due to careless!! Things like not changing to S.I. Units, using the wrong concepts and also by putting the wrong word! The one that really shocked me was Math, scoring A1 in LT and F9 in CT is not cool! But, thankfully, my AA was 7% in my Semestral Assessment, adding the 48% of my paper, it adds to 55% of the total, leading me to a C5. But, Mr Johari had talked to me, saying that it is ok to have that but needs effort to do what you want to achieve.
What really freaks me out is my IH and Bio. I don't want to disappoint Mr Thanapat.

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Dear Padlet,
Today was a much dissappointing day for Science. I failed my Bio, again! For the second time!! Looked through my mistakes and see that some carelessness kicked in as well! Well, the CT clearly is carelessness! I was so dissappointing that I almost cried when Mr Lim was going through the paper. I dissapoint Mr Lim!!
Then, it is Math, Mr Johari went through the questions and asked us to redo the question to see if we got right. Eventually, I did! He said by doing this, we would be more vigilant and more concentrated during the exam. Mr Johari said that practice and with a wise brain, I will easily get an A2 for Level Test 2!
Then, we had English, received my paper 1 but sadly received 14/30 for Essay but altogether is 45/70! Not bad! Mrs Jang said that I am not usi ng the past tense correctly (eg: infinity "to") and there is some run-on sentences. Gosh, really need some practice. She said that we really need to write a story everyday! Guess this is true!
After that, it is Mother Tongue. Then, Royston complained to one of the students in S108 that he is unfair. They had a conflict which still indulged int them even till the end of the lesson.
Finally, it was IH. Mr Thanapat said that we have a problem on SEQ. I received 18/30, still not expected of Mr Thanapat. I was too not excepted as I ranked 4th in IH!
Then it was our GCP briefing, MR Ng was not here for 40 minutes! Then, we found out that Mr Ng didn't realised that today was the briefing!
So many things happened today. I really hoped that tomorrow will be a good day!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Met GEOG Teacher Ms Loh who is furious...Mr Aurelieus Yeo brags (17/5)

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Padlet,
Firstly we had our English, we had some discussion on how to do corrections and ask tons of questions about the essay and redo the corrections. Mrs Jang also asked us to check our marks on our final grade for our CT. Did pretty well! A B4! Much better than the E8. Topping many other people too! So proud of myself for Language Arts, Chinese and History!
Then, we had math which was supposed to be IH. But, pretty productive again! Did some more questions to get familiar with the formulas and pretty excited to crack down on our homework! Really need time for my hobbies and relaxation, and also some revision. 60% Revision, 40% relaxation!
After that, it is Chinese, teacher gave us our AA Assignment and allowed us to go to the Info Hub to borrow a chinese book. Pretty excited as never of this type of AA has never happened got into a significant way!
After that, we went into the Lecture Theatre at 10.42a.m., then Ms Loh, our soon to be Geography teacher yelled at us. During the entire lesson, we spent one-third of the lesson Mr Yeo bragging about our pioneer batch. I thought we are going to do . something fun and exciting! But it is not pleasant to hear "sins", "hell", "very sorry", and so on on Ms Loh. I am not quite sure if Mr Thanapat was saying the right thing that our Geo teacher is nice. I would say: "50% trusting Mr Thanapat's words".  Anyway, we were asked to do an iBook ALL about Geographhy. SDL (self-directed Learning") as I called  it. Excited to learn but scared to pass up.
After that, finally, it is science. I really wanted to say thank you to Mr Lim: For telling me what is the right thing to do. I am terribly sorry to dissappoint you, Mr Lim. I just hope that you are proud of my physics.
So, that is really all for today. Also received a camera from my friend. Thanks!
I just hope we can see Ms Loh cheerful side!!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun

Dear Padlet,
I am so happy that my hardwork and effort in revising the examinations are over! Now I can be in my favourite hobby, Media!! I have just started to shoot a little intro to my show called "Spread love to all, y'all!" This series highlights the serious humanitarian issues here in the world and to give a message to not give stereotypes. Also, I am also trying to do video logging, but this will not affect my education as I will be doing this only during the holidays and weekends. I too have a little drink show called: "Mocktail Times!" This show tells about using personality to be expressed to Mocktail (cocktail without alcohol). I have many plans to start reading books, learn video editing, and also be sticked to nature as Singapore has not much land on nature! Anyway, so excited for my plans for the June Holidays!

Yours sincerely,
Teng Jun
