Teachers' Day Celebration! | Sunday, August 31, 2008
Greetings fellow Singaporean friends, anonymous friends (Yes, we have them too) and Profounders!
Congratulations!
You have lived to see the 5th Unique Highlights! Lucky ones, it is my pleasure to announce that Class 5/2 Blog is officially 1 month old!
With an influx of 200 views, it is really quite an achievement.
Right, the Committee believes each and everyone of you is a leader in your rightful areas. We have an encouragement for you!
"Things which matters most should never be at the mercy of things which matters least." -Goethe
Alright, what an introduction! Let's move on deeper into uniqueness. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Teachers' Day Celebration!
Well, I don't know. I am laughing as I am writing (well, typing) this.
28th August 2008, Chua Chu Kang Secondary School celebrated Teachers' Day.
For Class 5/2, it was a rather exhausting day, considering we've got 2 Lit Paper with an average of 3 essays per paper, a rather draggy (correct me if I am wrong!) performance in the hall and an Video Invitation to all our Teachers in our cosy Classroom.
I am sure each individual Profounders had their share of laughters during the course of the day!
Actual Teachers' Day is 1st September so the Committee is not late in wishing all the Teachers, "Happy Teachers' Day!" Imagine it echo beautifully...
Class 5/2 have gathered people to write their own love message to every teacher.
It was then complied, printed and binded into 16 different booklets to 16 different teachers!
Credits to everyone who have literally scarificed their own time, despite the inconvience for this!
Records even shows that a full 10 hours was spent on this and the Committee Thank You on behalf of all our beloved teachers.
Teachers' Day Video is also commendable, despite having some flaws.
Lots of time and not to mention effort, is being invested into it.
Thank You Jazreel for the Video. It was a really memorable time for the teachers!
Yes, it is this event which huals tremendous participants into the Japanese Garden on 29th August 2008. A awe-inspiring 1.2k students turned up!
The sporting spirit burnsstronger even after the Olympics! With the Girls running 3.6km and the Boys running 4.8km, it is no wonder competition seems impossible to advoid.
Sadly, Class 5/2 have had 14 missing souls...
On a happier side, we have a few Profounders who have earned their rights to a Trophy. It was only through great endurance and strenght and this celebrates Man victory in times of hardship!
Congratulations!
They are... (not in any order)
1)Wei Xian---(38th position)
2)Jie Xiang---(39th position)
3)Ridzwan---(41st position)
and of course... yours truely,
4)Clarence---(29th position)
Pictures are here! Tribute goes to Valarie.
Commentator 1: Wow! Look at her run! Let's see... O, she is known as Sally of class 5/2.
Commentator 2: Now, there! the fittest teacher we have ever seen here. GO Mr Leong!
Commentator 1: Hey, look at that! Gao han is trying real hard there!
Commentator 2: Hehe, I love the way he runs.

Commentator 2: Hey, at least she completed the race...
Commentator 1: Coming at 100km/hr, we got Yong Kang whom just whizzes pass us!
Commentator 2: Hmm? where is YK? I just Blinked...
Commentator 1: Another determined one! GO Jacintha!
Commentator 2: Hey, Jack! She is not determined... She is really determined.
Commentator 2: Look at that! SMILING while she Runs...
Commentator 1: That is XiangNing. She looked like some really happy person eh, John?
Commentator 1: wooo Wooo! Now that's something you don't see everyday!
Commentator 2: Closing in to Wei Xian is Jie Xiang! Both of them are having a tough
competition!
Commentator 1: Ignatious, the sole guy!
Commentator 2: Ah!!! Ignatious! (Fainted with love)
A small challenge from me, Say the colours of these words in 5 seconds.

Victory! | Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Are you ready for another milestone of your life?
Are you ready to impress with your speeches and confidence?
I hope and sincerely wish you are! The 'O' levels English Oral Examinations are forthcoming! In just 2 days time, some of us will be put to The Test.
Remember what you have been taught in school! Just a quick revision...
3 Components for English Oral. 2 Examiners. 1 Goal.
Manners is important. Greet the examiners.
1. Reading Aloud.
Remember to 1) read clearly with a reasonable and comfortable (comf-terble) speed. 2) appear confident! This will create a positive impression which helps to win the mental war! 3) pasue when appropriate! As in after each paragraphs, full-stops and commas. 4) differciate the 'the' and 'an' before any consenent!
2. Picture Discussion.
Make sure you describe characters outward appearance.
Remember to 1) answer any question that was asked directly! 2) zoom in to at least 2 character in the picture! Discuss -Actions -Thoughts -Feelings 3) Suggest what happened before the picture is taken and what might happen after the picture is taken. 4) portray the significance of the picture!
3. Conversation.
Make frequent eye contact to show that you are connected to the examiner! Do not look so downcast! Share your vision with both of them. Eye contact suggest your confidence level!
1) Answer the question directly! 2) Quote an Ancedote! This meant bringing in your personal story. 3) Suggest the flipside of the question. 4) the significance of the question! What themes are brought out? Environmental Issues, The Arts and Sports.
I hope this will serve as a quick reference for your Oral! Class 5/2 wishes you all the best for your English Oral Examinations!
No, no wishes of luck because I know you are well prepared for it!

Teacher's Day Celebration! (Part 2) | Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Welcome back to the 2nd edition of last week's highlights!
To start off, a terrible news plague the class, threatening to erase the existence of the celebration.
On 28th of July 2008 at 11:03am, Mr Kong shocked some of us. The Teacher's day performance will most likely be cancelled off due to the clashes in venues and availablity of performing space.
Spoilers: Cross country will be held at Japanese Garden in Singapore.
The committee will now crack their heads (imagine that) and will inform the class if we would continue the event.Do your part by Voting on the right!
On a lighter side, the preparation on 26 of July 2008 will be reviewed here.
Week 2 progress rate: 50% for dancers, 70% for actors.
The progress rate has exceeded the expectations of the Committee. As such, there will be NO Reheresal ( Spelt that correctly! yay!) this Saturday, 2nd August 2008.
We have had so much fun and I manage to snap some pictures!
So now! Wouldn't you wait for the next post Profounders? We will be having some spoof of the family day carnival!
We will answer questions like how do I host a game/food stall? Stay in tuned for the next chapter of The Genesis!
