Morning. woke up half an hour later than yesterday, planning to meet Jielin and Shiyun at 6.45am instead of 6.30am. but, i still reached HCJC at 6.30am. luckily, Shiyun was earlier! hahaha. then we waited for Jielin because she just woke up. took 2 pictures with Shiyun at the bus-stop! Oya. apparently mama wensong saw me at the bus-stop. and he knows i going Japanese school! who tell de arh? then finally Jielin arrived! reached damn early at 7.30am. earlier than yesterday. well, we did not tour tanglin secondary school today. it was damn early you know. the school bus have not reached yet so nobody was there. we just went to put our bags in class and walked around the school. hehe

then, everyone arrived. do you know, from about 8.15am or earlier to 9.00am. they do SILENT READING! wow. very pro you know. seriously silent reading. nobody talk at ALL. pro sia. our school arh, DIE lah. homeroom. ok i think i gave my speech on my reflections of yesterday quite ok lah. not very screwed. because i was totally trying to memorise my speech during silent reading. Ayumi helped me check too. oya. i forgot to mention yesterday. do you know all classrooms have aircon! COOL right. anyways. during homeroom, had 3 teachers. just ignore them lor.

after homeroom. first lesson - swimming. i kind of regret going and not regret going. i specially went to buy a swimming cap for swimming today. because you know if my hair wet, my straightening effect gone mah. and wearing the cap is damn toot. the swimming pool is in their school! SHOCK! i did not know! it is across the soccer field at the other end. and the toilet no cover de! as in doors for each cubicles! ahh. me and Jielin and a raffles girl classmate, Yun Zhen, used my towel to cover each other. we were the last to emerge from the toilet. very awkward. ok PARADISE.

JAPANESE GUYS. OUR AGE. SWIMMING LESSON. SWIM TRUNKS. WOOOOOO HOT GUYS. JAPANESE HOT GUYS. of course, their swim suit is like bermudas lah. so not obscene. i did not really look also. SHIT I REGRET THAT. well, because i wanted to safe my hair by wearing a damn toot cap. so no face to see others. the teacher was the angmoh again. we did backstrokes. dang it. as ever, i cannot swin in one straight line backwards. embarrassing! anyways. first we did warmups and stretches. then had to hold the swimming board and swim 4 laps, using our legs. then 4 laps with the floating thingy between our legs, so now using arms. then, the real backstroke 8 laps. SCREWED. after we are done, i took out my cap and OHGOD. i tell you. it completely did not work. hair all wet. and badly messed up. tsk. Jielin saved my hair by combing sideways. until i look like my VERY normal self. x.x

went back to class after this. oh and made a new friend during swimming class. RINA.

next lesson was Japanese. wow cheeminology. they were reading this passage and doing comprehension. quite easy (some parts) since it was like just copy and paste. it was in the textbook so i could not do much. i started drawing out the sitting plan of the class and asked Ayumi to write down the name of everyone. then, the principal of the Japanese school suddenly came in! when he saw what i was doing, he just laughed. haha. orh. the thing i understood during Japanese lesson was about '-sama' and '-dono'. ( with elaboration from Ayumi) I cannot bring myself to call my classmates by their surname leh. though it is normal for them. Ayumi said that i do not have to add '-san' or '-kun' or '-chan'.

After Japanese, the exchange programme students had to go for this Japanese game called hyaku nin yi shuu. actually, it is like a haiku. 5 words, 7 words, 5 words then 7 words, 7 words. we had to pair up for this game. its like a competition between the 2 people. each take 10 cards. sensei will read out the haiku, and we suppose to tap the card with the last 14 words while saying 'HAI!' loud and clear. i proudly say i won Yun Zhen 69/100. it was surprisingly fun.

after the game, we exchange programme students had to go for cooking lesson. we made the Japanese snack OKONOMIYAKI. delicious! my first time seeing and eating and making.

Step one: half a cup of water (100 cc)

Step two: add one egg

Step three: add the mix

Step four: stir till fine

Step five: put in chopped up cabbage

STep six: put in chopped fishcake

Step seven: stir

Step eight: put into frying pain (with oil inside)

Step nine: put meat onto the flat food

Step ten: flip the food when one side is done

Step eleven: decorate!

it was filled with cabbage so i did not really enjoy it. it also made me feel like puking. thus, i just had a very small piece. still it was very filling. Orh and the teacher was damn cute. it like everytime she something, we will exaggerate like shit by saying 'EHH~~~~' Japanese way. her husband is singaporean and she have had been here for 30 years. WOW o.O

after cooking was lunch already. wow because we just finished the okonomiyaki, i was very full.

therefore, i did not eat my bento. haha i think because of yesterday's funny happening, i was hoping something will happen today again. i was not disappointed! hahahaha. when i brought out my pathetic lunchbox with my Japanese small biscuits from NTUC, peanut butter ritz and chewy the oats bar ( 2 of the), i caught Watanabe (the 1st guy who asked for my lunch yesterday, sitting in front of Ayumi. but since lunch we connect tables, he is diagonal from me) talking to the guys near him, eyeing my lunch and making faces. i just drank my water and stared lor. Jielin better, she slept during lunch, but kana 'scolded' or informed politely that she should eat something for the school lunch. Japanese culture? anyways, after Watanabe finished his bento, he showed both hands to me, as in like asking for something, and said ' HAI~', meaning my lunchbox. then i gave it to him lor. then the guy next to him, Hase, snatched it. Watanabe took it back and was like 'Ore no da' (it's mine). but when he opened. CHIONG ARH. people from the other groups came again. in the end, i left 3 biscuits. HAHA. i had at least 20. i personally asked the guy next to me, Kasazima, because he like very quiet and shy. he also took. LOL. so left 2. wah lau damn funny lah. in the end me and Shiyun ate at the bus-stop after school.

After lunch, it was a short break. we girls played UNO again. and i took photos!!!! YAY. tomorrow i shall take the whole class. UNO was damn funny. Fumi, Yunzhen's buddy was damn funny. she was at 'uno' already lah, and she was seated next to Jielin. then Jielin had the colour changing card. then Jielin said 'aka' (red). Fumi then said in the very gentle and sweet voice (which is damn weird because she is the very rowdy type, add on the Japanese accent in english) ' aka? you sure? are you sure? green wa good' Jielin shook her head and was like 'aka. fullstop' then everyone did not put out green! haha. anyways, in the end i WON! because Rina helped. she reminded me to say 'uno' at my 2nd last card. Ayaka was sabo-ed just now, she uno game and everyone voted that she did not say 'uno; so not counted. she tried making a vote about me not saying uno but haha everyone support me!

Mathematics was next. this was separate classes and i was with YunZhen. it was kindda ok lah. we were like isolated from the class as they had to change sit. so we were given the worksheet first. they had to draw lots and everything so they took a long time. the guys started arguing also. Ayumi and Fumi and a few more people came to us. we exchange numbers and email! yay. anyway, maths worksheet was on angles, which we learnt during primary school. but unfortunately, i forgot le! YunZhen helped me a lot. then amongst all the noise, the other students got the worksheet too. the teacher came to us and asked how the paper was. YunZHen was like 'easy~'. then teacher was like 'easy? EASY?! EHH!!' then she told the whole class that we thought it was easy. i think it was suppose to be difficult for them. Watanabe was like 'DOU YUU KOTO DA!' very loudly and fiercely. meaning ( Why is this!). haha damn funny. then the whole class was like 'EHH????!!!' then teacher was like 'atama ga ii yo ne' (smart). i seriously thought that it was not easy but not difficult.

ENGLISH. damn disappointing. i thought it would be the same as yesterday's class. but NO. a lot of people from other classes were here too, and the teacher is very bad tempered. but we played game lah. first was speed reading. he timed us. finish then raise your hand. i finished in less than a minute and duh is the fastest. the latest was like 2 minutes. then the next game was 6 in a group. everyone number from one to six. everyone goes to sleep. and teacher wakes a particular number of each group to look at the screen which contains a word or phrase. the group is suppose to use these words to form a sentence. my group WON! and not because of me. don't know why but one of them like know all the answers. hahaha. AND. unfair ok. sometimes the english can have to ways to say.

e.g. ' If you want, we can go swimming' and ' we can go swimming if you want'

' you can live with her for two weeks' and 'you can live for two weeks with her' (ok PS this sounds wrong)

after this, went back to class.had the reflections again. wow it is the same group of people everyday have to say their reflections. then we had to say again. haiz. slip-shot lah.

today is Japanese school CCA day. CCAs are on wednesday and thursday. i went for the dance de. REINA WAS THE LEADER OD DANCE CCA YOU KNOW. AND SHE CAN DANCE. stretching was damn tiring. its like sit-ups with only your head leaving the ground. then must lift leg, straighten leg, bend leg, at the top and bottom plus the sides, doing all while sit-uping. then had to lift leg slowly and put down slowly. i thought i could do it but NO. difficult lah! next was moving the arms. this one also can die. i think we did for damn long. don't wan to elaborate. we showed them jerk it out and did splits for the camera. haha. apparently the Japanese cannot do. we learnt a dance to 'what time is it' (HSM 2) which is difficult leh. i have time then master it lah.

GO HOME. yay.

tomorrow is closing ceremony. AHH so sad. last lesson. i am going to ask for EVERYONE"s number and email. and take loads of pictures. still need give a speech of thanks. sian! orh and i left my indoor shoes in the school. cool right. me and Shiyun too lazy bring home.
