Angels & Analysis

Got back the last common test paper, literature, on Friday  It is the only paper I did relatively well in. However, while going through the paper, I realized that my tutor accidentally didn't mark a page of my lit essay!! :O I quickly pointed it out to him. He apologized and assured me that he would take a look at that page. Hope I can get a few more marks, which is all it's going to take to push me up to a B! *fingers crossed*

Anyways, I went to the Jurong East library yesterday and was horrified when my phone ran out of battery only an hour after my arrival. I was panicking as I still had to contact Fuxuan and Keith! I was sharing a table with two strangers, they were a couple. When the girl overheard me telling Ru that my phone was out of battery, she actually let me use her portable charger. OMG, I mean who does that? :O SO KIND PEOPLE LIKE THAT ACTUALLY EXIST!

A while later, the librarians made an announcement over the PA system that there would be a talk at the first floor regarding Technical Analysis. Ru indicated to me her interest in going for the talk and so I decided to be a good friend and accompany her. Can you believe it, the girl actually let me bring the portable charger down with me? I swear I could see a halo above her head. 

I kind of peeked at what she was studying and realised that she was from NUS. My future (hopefully) senior! :D  *prays*

I was expecting the talk to be really boring and put me right to sleep. BUT it was actually intersting. I learned how to read the stocks charts. You know, the kind they show every morning on BBC/CNN/Channel 5 news. Learned about the difference between fundamental and technical analysis and about candlestick charting. Took down some notes, if anyone is even remotely interested, do come and ask me about it, I can show you what I wrote down. After the talk, I realised that Economics isn't as blah as I always imagined it to be!

Ok, so that's all for now! Signing out,
Jas~

Literature retreat

Back from Literature Retreat! 

It was pretty awesome! 

First Day:

Our drama coach was called Mitch and he was from Inward Bound, which by the way, is the same company that we worked with for our drama SYF. We started the day off by playing games which were really fun. Had me in stitches. And then we play role-playing games which was really fun too! And in the late afternoon we were separated into different groups and we started to do more serious acting.

In the evening, we went to the Singapore Repertory Theater to watch the play God of Carnage. 

I know it doesn't look that grand on the outside but it's really grand on the inside. :)

                                                     Sat with Mazi on the bus

More pictures can be found on my Facebook page. Created an album. :)

2nd day:

On the 2nd day each group picked themes that they would like to work with and my group picked Acceptance and Time. 

At the end of the lit retreat there was a showcase where each group acted out our play for all the other groups from other classes and teachers and coaches to see. My group's play was about accepting Homosexuality. 

Other plays that were awesome include Wendy's group's play. Wen Lin was damn funny!! Overall the play had me in stitches. And Douglas and Matthew were just UH-MAZING. 

So yea, the lit retreat was awesome and a big boohoo for those lit students who couldn't or didn't wanna go. :P

Ps. Adrian Pang and Lea Salonga are such awesome actors. They acted in God of carnage! I have never laughed so much during a play in my life. :D And never heard so many vulgarities on stage either. 5/5 stars man! 

Unlucky days, lit retreat and a play to catch!

 Hey guys. I got bad news. I didn't win the lucky draw :( There goes my chance to go to LA. :( Never mind. I will go there when I am older. I swear! 

Anyways, I can't wait for the literature retreat this weekend! It sounds like so much fun! Hopefully I will be able to act because I know this retreat will involve a lot of drama. 

And secondly, I am going to watch Nurul act in a play this coming Nov 28. Can't wait for that too! Love being involved in the aesthetics~  

General Paper lectures are so damn boring these days. I WANT MR SHERMANN BACK ><

He's the only one that can make lessons a bit less dry. 

Guess I will go and do my chemistry now or something. 3 days to Holidays!
