in de arena , ri was out. actually if u c de process , de 1st n 3rd round was a tie . Kartik won his round by a ratio of 3:1 n Shi Yang lost his round by 1:3. Logically speaking , it was a tie. but unfortunately , Shi Yang's round had a larger weighing than Kartik 's. so, ri lost by a narrow 2 marks.haiz ...... so unfortunate. ri , jia you on wildcard round , u can do it ! Go, Raffles , Go , Raffles , Go , Bring Them Down , Bring Them Down !
unlyk many of my frens , ri had a special ceremony called de Junior Rafflesians' Investiture Ceremony . On tat day , our parents was oso invited to witness their sons officially being inducted into de Rafflesian community.we carried our lighted totems which carried all our badges into de dark school hall signifying a tribal scene . we were shown a video our meaningful camp .then our teachers n PSLs pinned de badges on our breastpockets .we then shouted cheers n sang our batch songs .after tat , we became full blood rafflesians .life was still manageable n we had extra subjects lyk philosophy , research education n oral communication added to our curriculum as part of de raffles programme .my class was lyk a bunch of brothers n my teachers r all nice n many of them actually came frm de rafflesain community. my eng teacher was once de head prefect of ri!i look forward to my times in ri for de coming 4 years n 2years rjc. NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST WHO'S DE BEST ? R-A-F-F-L-E-S !
Have nt posted for a real loooooooooong time .i will lyk to talk abt my eventful orientation camp . de so called "mission" for our camp is to obtain de Nagarro , which means "a spirit materialised" and our spirit will b de rafflesian spirit of passion pride n power .btw my class was 1D.we started off with mass activities at bishan park we had fun with activities lyk de "the great wall" , "mine field" n "tug of war" , which all require team spirit , communication n strategy.next on , we went to design our totem which signify an identity for all classes. then there was de batch song . de batch song is a song tat was passed down frm de secs4 to secs1 every yr, which means there r 3 batch songs.we felt a sense a togetherness as we rounded our arms ard each other as we chorused our batch song.along de camp , we moved as a batch with de rafflesian spirit of "1 for all , all for 1" which meant tat de spd of de entire batch is equivilent to de spd of de slowest peron in de batch .at nite , there was de armageddon.we moved as a class frm stops to stops as unitedly as we cleared de round together. we went for bath at abt 10+. then there was supper n debrief n we slept at abt 12+.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
de next day was another hectic one.we started off with de trust walk . de sec 1s all took off their shirt n used it to blindfold themselves . then we form a line with hands on each other 's shoulders.only de 1st person was guided by a PSL (peer support leader) . we moved ard de sch with trust on our fellow classmates as we passed messages down de line.finally , we accomplished de mission.during noon , we were given clues to reach checkpoints as a united class ard de WHOLE bishan . we were then to clear de round.we worked 2gethern suceeded too.nite , we sat ard 2gether to watch a horror movie ( it rox to watch as a batch !).we then toured ard de sch n de PSLs told us ghost stories abt tat place n we were asked to accomplish a task there .after tat , we then had our bath , supper n debrief b4 sleeping at 12+(again).zzzzzz
next day , we had a morning exercise with push-ups , sit-ups n jumps , shouting 1raffles , 2raffles, 3raffles etc.then we had a morning jog to bishan park for a war game. we started with a search of a total of 140 ropes hidden in de grass as a class .we could challenge each other along de way. we would bet on a no. of ropes n de loser will hav to giv de oppenents de no. 2 members frm each team had to stuck a sock on their backs n de class r to hold hands in a line . they had to grab thier oppenents sock b4 their oppenents grab theirs. but in de midst of de game , if de line was broken , de opposing side wins .then , de 15 classes r grouped into 3 teams n there was a base 4 each team.each team is colour coded.each team had to use thier ropes to design a " spiderweb" there will b attackers n defenders. all attacker r to stuck a sock on their back.once their sock is pulled out by another attacker , they will b sent to pits of death . 5 members of de teams r to there to complete a task so as to revive de attackers. but if de attackers entered de opponent'sbase without being caught by de defender , they hav de privelage to demand a rope frm de opposing side for their team. but if they r caught by a defender , then they will b sent to de pits of death. de "war" was fun as ri filled bishan park with enthusiasm.we all learnt to cooperate n sacrifice .in de evening , we had a camp finale with games n celebration n oso songs frm our very owm ri band ! de best was when they sang a rocked version of our batch song . all rafflesians stood up with arms ard each other's shoulders n jumped along with de rock song. then we went home , tired but very sastified as we were all proud to b a RAFFLESIAN !we had obtained de true spirit of Nagarro......

20 Aug 06 After watching a show named "Akeelah and the Bee", I would like to express my views about it. Akeelah was a student with endless potential in spelling. She will exel fabulously if given good coaching. I think that we should discover our potential and exel in it as everyone will have something they are good at, Even so , Akeelah carried a different attitude and chose not to be serious with her schoolwork as she was afraid that others that others might laugh at her for being "brainy". I think that we should not care about how others think if we are right. If we discover our potential, we should do our best to exel in it. After many events, Akeelah straightened her thoughts and made it to the National Spelling Bee Finals. During the preparations for the finals, Akeelah received help from her friends and family and through their help , Akeelah did a stressless but meaningful preparation. She won in the end. Teamwork is very precious and can work magic. Stress should not be overloaded or things will not work out. Unlike Akeelah, Dylan, who shared the champion with her, had a stressful preparation. To me, Akeelah's method works out best. During the finals, they had sportsmanship and so, both achieved success. We should exercise sportsmanship and be a generous person. I learned a lot from this inspiration show.
