Start of School
hey guys! First day of school, no lessons, but quite alot has happened.
Well instead of the usual blue tie we have used for the past four years, it is now a golden striped one which i felt was sticking to my eyes due to its contrast in colour to the previous tie. Well, its year 5 now and i guess looking different is essential in quite a number of ways.
The new orientation class seems perfectly alright but it would change once again in two weeks time. Got to know some of them a little better today.
After the few lectures on subject combination in which the english lecture was amusingly hilarious as our teacher made a few jokes, we had to select an elective programme which we would have to spend 4 hours on every thursday for the next 2 weeks. Haha, well it actually consists of quite a few like Guitar, Dance, Karaoke, Magic and others like Chess, Kite making, Paper origami, Chinese caligraphy, Chinese art, Drama, Shorthand and more.
Well, i am proud to say the most innovative, exciting and macho one was chosen by me (well, technically 'us' as a class). And that is jewerery making. Well, maybe not that proud. xD What could i do! By the time i got there, most of the programmes were fully taken and the only few remaining left us no choice. Watch out world, knitting hands is coming to you! Hahaha.
That was hilarious. Well, after school was surprisingly fun as well. It was actually supposed to be a boring field to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Centre but i begged to differ.
Maybe the first part with the CHINESE lectures on Chinese medicine was a little tiring, but there was this tea making session in the later part of the session.
Me, ben and daryl were in a group and they actually told us to make Chinese tea with the ingredients on the table like Chysanthumum flowers and some other leaves which smelt bad.
And apparently, with our mixture of tones of Chysanthumum leaves and Lohan seeds, we actually got awarded the top four best tasting tea among the classes, and went home with herbal sweets. And we had no idea what we were doing! xD
That was definitely something. Haha.
God blesses everyone. =)
