Racial Harmony Day, rehearsal, yesterday life science business comp

Racial Harmony Day today... went to school in kebaya and long pants... i find skirt irritating :) lend Wen Jing my baju punjabi and then reported at the malay booth for permainan tradisional (malay tradisional games).. we were suppose to be in charge of it. we focused on congkak and ketupat making... haha... i can anyam ketupat! :) it was ok... but didn't realise a lot of ppl would be interested in making ketupats... Afiqah, Lena and I were damn exhausted cos we had to teach and reteach a lot of ppl for the ketupat making cos it's quite fiddly to be handling the ribbons and it's not that easy to make... They taught more ppl than me cos I was handling the congkak and they were handling the ketupat making... then more ppl wanted to learn how to make the ketupat so I had to help... and it turns out that most ppl actually already know how to play the congkak so I almost had basically nothing to do... We couldnt participate in other games and activities that were planned for all sec 2s... so sad... Then for the concert, we had a dance competition between some sec 3 classes. Some were ok... but 306 was damn damn nice!!! cos it was cute and it had a storyline which others didn't show in their dance... and 306 won the competition!
Then, this afternoon, we had a rehearsal in our school in the gym... Hamizah and I fetched the SA guys (Firdauz, Hazly and Omar) from the busstop opposite school... They said our school is big... I thought it was pathetic.. oh wells... The rehearsal went ok I guess.. We just practiced what we had cos the instructor couldn't make it... And we manage to teach Hazly and Omar... so yeah!!! And Firdauz was ok... I just adjusted his posture... other than that he's dancing is ok... Erm... yeah the tarian-ers... apalah.. we had it in rgs cos of them then in the end they prac w us only like 3x or so... Was hoping the other SA guys would come, namely Khai, Jay and Izz but Izz backed out and Jay had rugby and Khai was sick so they didn't come... apalah.. if they came, things would be more merrior...
Then there's practice at bb east cc again this sunday... I hope it'll be better than today's training...
Tired and there's maths to kill me tonight... X/
Yesterday, I went to Ngee Ann Poly for a Life Science Business Competition... It was ok as in some of the projects were super interesting like ACSI's P3 or PitcherPlantsPeople... and Chocosteen (chocolate and mangosteen) by SCGS... but I think ACSI's project is more realistic and more convincing cos their reseach basically covers everything so there was super little for the judges to comment and 'thrash' their projects.. like simon cowell in american idol... haha... P3 was very good. their research was detailed and their statistics were convincing and i think what made them stand out was they actually manage to sell their products at 2 different attempts... and their products got sold out and they have more orders coming in for their products... cool right...
So basically this competition is to research about a problem that is categorised under Life Science. then, they have to find a solution for it and turn their solutions into products to be sold... that's why it's Life Science BUSINESS competition...
RGS didn't get in which proves one thing... Raffles might be our school name and as much as we are so called 'the cream of the crop', we're still humans, learning as we go along... so don't expect us to be the best and winning all the time... i dont like the fact that some ppl view us as 'almighty' cos it's not that true... we were suppose to be intellectually smart but that doesn't mean we don't make bloopers... and that doesn't mean we don't lose sometimes...
ok... maths taking over now...
