I got my results back for term 1. Although I'm not about to disclose them on my blog, I can tell you that i got an MSG of 2.5. Not so good. I did get a conduct grade of "A" though.
Truthfully, my LA, Chinese and Math pulled me down. Strangely, though not very unusual, my chinese grades are better than my LA ones. This usually happens every year. I only seem to pull up at the EOY examinations. For Math though, I've never been very good. I still can't understand how I scraped an A* for it in PSLE.
Moving on, I passed my Judo grading. It was an easy grading, with low standards though none of the HCI people did really well, at least according to the coach. Now I'm a yellow tip! Though it's nothing to celebrate about. My batch mates, myself included, are harbouring thoughts of a CCA transfer. It is tough. My foot has not had time to recover properly yet.
Experience in Sec 1 camp
It was almost a horrible experience. I sleep longer hours on one normal night than both nights at the Sarimbun Scouts camp added together. Alright, I stayed up willingly to listen to my classmate's "interesting" stories, but it was still very uncomfortable. I would like to see you squeezed up against four people on a bunk the size of a van's interior and sleeping on a threadbare sleeping bag, knowing that some of the lucky others (the other iSparks) have a bed with only two people on it.
The activities were of the normal kind, not a single high element at all. Though I still count myself lucky that my group did not have time to do the milo pond activity. I mean, sliding into it is not the best thing in the world.
Moving to the trainers, my group possibly got one of the best trainers, Jason. He was the youngest there and was rather kind and understanding. He even let some of us have extra food when he was dishing it out. Once, we got an area cleaning job at a place that was perfectly clean and he ignored it and pretended that we cleaned it, instead of getting us a new job.
