Finally, the long-awaited holidays have descended upon us. After a year of continuous schooling, this is a much appreciated break for me. On top of that, life at home is more comfortable than in the boarding school. In the last week of school, we had to complete the final hurdle before we are free to take a break from all the work and stress. It may not be something academically or physically challenging, but it is somewhat demanding towards the ability to stay focused. I have to say some of the activities scheduled for us in the last week was quite boring. Yes, just some.
On Monday, we reported to school for Festival of Sports and Health. It was quite a haphazard event as we, the spectators, did not know where to go. In the end, I went to read in the library with a few other people who were also supposed to “support” the athletes but didn’t know where to go. It was a rather uneventful day and I spent the afternoon sleeping and recovering from the exertion of the Outward Bound Course.
The following day was some assimilation programme for foreign scholars. We went bowling at The Superbowl. It was rather fun but uneventful. The afternoon was spent doing up the proposals for HSSRP.
Now on to something more unusual. On Wednesday, we went to watch a drama presentation by students from our school. Chern Yuen was one of the boys acting on stage that day. Frankly, most of the plays were not that good, except for one. What caught my eye was Soufflé with its’ well developed script and humourous satire. The acting was sufficiently well done to inject a breath of fresh air into an audience weary from the bombardments of less accomplished plays like “The Trial of the Righteous” (No offense to Yong Xiang, but the script was rather monotonous…). The play discusses the pretense people put on and the unique Singaporean obsession with foreign talent interestingly. Kudos to the cast and crew for bringing us much laughter.
I shall skip Thursday as it also consists of bowling and was rather uninteresting. 
On Friday, the last day of school, we were brought to watch a movie at the Lido Cineplex, somewhere on Orchard Road. It is also on this day that our Report Books, containing the results we worked for throughout the year, will be given to us. Our math teacher, Mrs Chan distributed to us our report books after the conclusion of the movie, inside the cinema. I paralleled my MSG last year. It is, once again, a perfect 1.00. Without obtaining any exemptions this year, I had doubts on whether I would be able to get a perfect one again. But I guess I am still more inclined towards examination settings and scored rather well for the End-of-Year examinations. I am particularly proud of the 48/50 (though I think it should be 48/51) I obtained for Geography… This is my highest mark for an examination I think… Excluding Infocomm Studies. Most of the members of 2B obtained rather satisfactory results this year, keep it up, guys. To those few who did not do as well, work hard and commit yourself in whatever you do. Even if you are in 3P, try to exploit your natural capabilities to the extremes! Make the best use of what is available to you!
Okay, I think this is it. This was a rather short post and I composed it under a distracted state( I don’t know by what) , so the language may seem disjointed and choppy. 
Enjoy the holidays everyone!
