Last day of school, and spent it with Felicity... The entire day since morning! 9-5: At school. After school it's Airport. :P

It was really fun to see Felicity off, and it's our first time to see her in casual clothes. I felt like papparizzi, snapping photos of Felicity. And I was so proud to be the one that gave her our own made scrapbook (from the class). They were asking me to give and I was like, "Wait, until she's at the glass door at departure hall." Hahahahaha, I know, very typical, but it's so touching, to give her our blessings just when she's abt to step over the threshold :) Am glad that everyone who wanna see Felicity off got there on time for a big group snapshot =)

I really was very anxious in class... Making sure that everyone had their turn to write in that book so we could give her on the day she leaves. But thankfully all's well that ends well. =D Yet another one to come, Susan's fly-off on Thurs. Looking forward to it...

1 week of break was booked solid for outings and fun, all that is left is Friday. LOL! Hahahahahahhahaha, I think I'm going crazy over the way I enjoy time. In case I don't get anymore time off once extension starts. :p

Dramatization was amazing! =D We totally Wow-ed the kids and the kids totally Wow-ed us with their participation and answer! It was really enjoyable and full of laughter. And that day was the last day with Susan... besides her airport day (Coming Thurs).

Finally we managed to put what we had learnt for the past 6 weeks into use and really put up a great show (All 6 groups)! =D We've learnt alot from Susan, and we have alot of crazy moments. And I do agree that we've grown more dramatic.. like easier to express ourselves, and also got closer with the rest of the class (A+B).

Love Susan's lessons, and time seemed to fly past so quickly. I think it's safe to say we all wish that we could have more time with Susan to learn from her and have fun with her. =)

Specially for Cohort 3: Contact me if you want Susan's flight info, so you can see her off too! =)

Can't believe I got through the intensive..well, almost got through. =p It was really exhausting and draining, physically and mentally. It totally toppled my NP study schedules~ After such a long and intensive race, FINALLY we see the finish line.

But truth be told, I'm gonna miss my lecturers.. Susan and Felicity were both awesome, and their lessons were always full of fun and engagement and enjoyment. Though it was a change in the way we usually learn, and it was quite tedious on our part, but overall I find that I enjoy this kind of learning more than the usual ways of spoon-feeding or whatsoever... Because through Susan and Felicity's method, we can REALLY gauge our knowledge and understanding. Y? Cos through their assignments and stuffs we KNOW if we understand or we don't, cos application is needed. =D

Thruday night date.. Have to change date, cos of Airport - Sending Felicity off. Good thing Mac understands :D *blessed*

Last few days... Cohort 3 is still hanging on and still having fun! GREAT! =D

=.=lll Just when I stayed back after school for proj, then wanted to go to Popular to get printing papers... Guess what? THE SHOP WAS CLOSED by the time I reached there. SHEESH!!!!!! >.<
I could have just taken the bus home and reached home even earlier~

A video showed in class...about women being alcoholic. Dont drink too much people, especially women.

The video was disturbing and sad...the consequences of abusing alcohol, different stories told by readers from Readers Theatre. It goes for guys as well.. Too much alcohol isn't good - be it beer or wine or shots. Occasionally I find it okay, but still keep it at a minimum even on occasions. Gotta know your limits, especially women. Seriously.

The video made me think deep about touching alcohol~

Personally I was raised in the thoughts that "women should know how to drink a little, so you won't get drunk that easily if you were to drink with your friends. And don't go drinking with your friends, only drink with your family."

I find it all comes down to the person himself or herself to stop when you know you had hit your limit - before headaches or unsteady footsteps or vomitting. If not, you'll get one heck of a hangover~

It was really engaging, to say the least... The feeling of standing beside your own work and presenting it to others, and be able to answer any questions asked by the people... Whew~ What a feeling! Beyond words. :p The talk after the exhibition was great too, alot of thought provoking questions for us to think about and reflect upon... I think we did reach our goal for the symposium: share and learn. =)

Entire day with heels... hahaha, I didn't think I could get through one full day in heels. It wasn't that bad when it comes to the walking, as long as I reduce my speed a little. Then came the running =.=lll One day when I don't wear my sports shoes, I have to run from one building to another as fast as possible...... Now I can say that "I can run in heels!" :p Hahaha

It was great seeing Joanne and JiaMin again :) Chatted with them and everything, it was really nice. :) And also LSH staffs.... =)

Was smashed and feet hurt like hell, and received an sms from my sis abt a mysterious package for me... =D
Hahaha, I don't feel like wearing heels for a very long time, lol!

It was more fun than study.. :p Hahahahhaha.... Though the field trip was school-related, but it was really more like fun than work! Totally enjoyable and awesome~

It's something different from the usual 3hrs non-stop sitting down kind of lessons. More laughter, more enjoyment, more talking and alot more movement(we walked from one place to another cos they were so close to one another). :p

SAM, Sculpture Square and Mint Toy Museum... At first we thought Mint was 15, then we found out that students have discount, so it became 7.50 bucks, which was like half of the original price. =D COOL~

Dinner after that with XT, ZQ, Eve, Grace and Yvonne was fun, had it at Hanis, near NLB. =) Would go back there again.. esp the Arts Museum. Today was kinda rush... But if there's time and a chance to show my friend around Singapore, this will be one of the places I would go :D

2+ more weeks to go... :) Cliche, but time flies! Still counting down to the holiday.. Not that the lessons aren't cool or interesting or engaging or fun. HONEST! =D In fact, they're really awesome =p

It's like a sense of motivation... I can't believe that I've lasted more than 3 weeks of the 6 weeks intensive! That is some achievement, for the whole of Cohort 3. ^_^

As much as I look forward to the holidays, I AM looking forward to Thurs... Not cos it's the last day of week 4, but because of our presentation. Can't get it out of my head that it's super interactive. Sure, gonna be challenging, but it's so interactive and challenging that it makes me look forward to that day :)

About 5 hours of project non-stop at Eve's house with XT, ZQ and Eve =.=lll

It's draining my energy and my brain juice.

And bad habit kicked in so didn't get any break >.<

Finally we can see the light at the end of the tunnel! LOL~

3rd week starting. Kinda dreadful, but also quite exciting... =X Contradicting but true~

Week 2 ended... 4 more weeks to go for the intensive Wheelock programme. Even though I'm counting down, but I gotta say, I'm SERIOUSLY enjoying myself, even though it's intensive and stressful and the assignments are pouring down like endless waterfall.

Looking forward to this presentation on the 16th July... Yeah~ It's part of our assignment, and it's the first time we get to do this. We've never had this experience before.. presenting our projects for the rest outside our classroom, like exhibition! *gasp* AMAZING concept! :D

We can invite ppl in, create an advertisement, enlarge our projects etc. So it's something special, and different from how Singapore schools do.. I'm sure. Americans are more open-minded and bold towards things like this. Participation is like mandatory and it comes naturally. And right now we're working on it... :) It's getting there~

2 weeks down, 4 more to go.......
