Innovation week

hi blog, 5 days of innovation week has just passed. actually, the title has many flaws. first of all, what seems to be innovative isnt present in the title, i mean u aren't very creative if you say this week's a creative week, so let's be creative. so i guess the title's boring. also, it isn't really a week! it's only 5 days, in fact 3 only, excluding sat and sun which are not school days. so it should not be innovation week, instead innovation half-week, which is actually not very nice sounding and not clever at all.. okay, i think the weather agrees with me, there's been a few threatening shreds of lightning greeting me as i type, very scary huh (im facing the window when i type)

i week was not bad lah, as least i had a nice group, unlike the group i had for pw, which was unthinkable. on fri, mr l lim briefed us about hte project, well the first impression was: this project's SCARY and HIGH-ORDER! why so? cos we had to do a lot and a lot of things within 3 days, unless we did slipshod work. also, we had some talk from some guy about ways to conserve energy and cutting cost. i admit his talk was very educational and i quite liked it, very good alr, cos i was seated down for 1h plus, just listening. oh, i forgot, i do this every week in church. my church is very conservative and solemn and is unlike those jumpy churches where they jump about during songs and play worldly music, making the excuse that it has christian lyrics... i also dislike the way some pastors *hint hint* tell their life stories and act funny while their sermon's supposed to be serious and talking about God. i think it defiles the church. :( okay, i think i gotta show some respect to these churches and i shall shut up. oh mine! i have just side tracked so much! okay back to the point..

about innovation week... um, oh yes, so after the talk, everyone went back to class. we sat in our groups. nadine, shariel, olivia and elizabeth were in my group. fine group huh, furthermore, i was comfortable with everyone. :) oh btw, olivia was away in malaysia, so it was only the 4 of us. :) my group was very on task and we had our leader appointed, shariel. and then we came up with the company name and profile, and all the details to make it more authentic. then we brainstormed on ideas on how to save resources in our school. nearing dismissal, we finally came up with a few ideas and decided to go elizabeth's house to continue with our project the next day.

after schoo, nothing spectacular, only, the fact that i watched survivor! fang finally won, TWICE and thanks to ken. :) i like matty and marcus too. :)

on sat, as usual, went for tennis with nadine, then went to her house. i think have been going her house too often that it has become a routine. :( and that's bad, cos it's not so nice. :( so i shall try to prevent it from happening again. then we met elizabeth (e) and shariel (s) in school at 12. when we were still at the bus stop at school waiting for the bus, dad suddenly called and said that he saw me and wants to give me money, okay, shocker, i was receiving money for no good reason, maybe my dad's in good mood. :) then i asked him where he was , and oh my, he was at the bus stop itself! i mean, my view was blocked, thus i did not spot him. since it was wet weather then, i took the chance to ask him if he could fetch all of us to e's house. and he said okay. so all of us hopped on and made our way to e's house!

there, we got cracking. e was a supe uber good host. i complimented her and she said, 'no lah.' then i remembered, 'hostess' i corrected, and then she said, 'haha'. haha. very funny. why do i say that, cos she really prepared snacks for our coming. potato chips la, prawn crackers la, and drinks! she's fantastic! haha. so we started doing majority of the slides, report, the script for the skit and research. we decided to put all the arty stuff on hold till olivia, the art girl came back, so we could have some motivation and inspiration. haha. i remember, we were super on task and we did so much that i couldn't believe it! haha, i say sat was the most fruitful day i ever had on projects. :)

on mon, we were meeting cos olivia had come back, so we could do the props etc and then wrap up all that we had for this project. oh, and the day before, i was feeling extremely bored, so i decided to bake. mum was midway baking her swiss roll, so i had to wait. when the time finally came, she helped me bake choc chip cupcake, oh, mum rocks! and so, the end of the story is that i brought some cupcakes to share with my group. okay, i know i take a long time to get my idea across, but bear with me. hehe.

met in school at 11, well supossedly, but we ended up meeting about 1/2 hour later, thanks to some ppl. haha, no offense. i went a little early to take pics. and guess what! i saw code red play volleyball along side mrs tng, some guy pe teacher and here comes the shockers! along with them was hu min, miss intan, mr alvin yeo! whoa, i didn't know they so game. furhtermore, that codered was trying to look sporty, well, she's only tall, nothing more. okay, i'm very mean.. but i think elyssa would taunt a little too. :)

okay, please forgive me, for i have once again deviated. :( i should i say i forgive myself cos no one would read this stupid long post. okay, so i shall say, lisa, i forgive you. then i would wait 5 secs, look touched and then say, thank you.

okay, where was i... at e's house (again, see, e's really good hostess!) we painted and made our props. very focussed again. and we finish it in 1 and a 1/2h! haha, i told u we needed inspiration from olivia, and of course, i musn't forget the constant reminder that we had to vacate the space for e's sister to have tuition at 3. haha, so these 2 factors urged us and helped us to be on task.

after doing the props, i shared my cupcakes, and nadine kept saying that it was nice. lol, i noe nadine, you have been saying that every baking from my house. after the 'treat', we and to rehearse our skit. okay, this was the part i was most fearful of. cos, i can't act! or maybe i'm just very self-concious and have no confidence. anyway, i now think it's the latter. but i still do have stage fright, a very worrying problem through the whole of my school life. :( actually, i realised that it was because my lines were very unnatural for a speech, so i ammended it and phew, i felt much more comfortable in delivering the lines. :) when we were finished, we were officially done with the project and i was in europhia. hehe, i had tues free! although i had to go home to do some tasks by inserting the pics for the slides, it was a simple job. :)

on tues, i had piano lesson, other then that i was rotting (haha, qouting mr lim) so i decided to bake once more. yay, and it was the same produt, choc chip cupcake. oh, it's ccc! hehe, but the gust is that i was doing it more independently, mum wasn't very available to help me. and yipee! i had a great time! the cupcakes were a huge success too!

fastforward to today, wed, my group did well. :) i had fun! anyway, with much ado, i shall proudly announce that 2 groups from my class made it to the finals and one went on to win the top prize. now, i shall sadly say that my group was neither, but who cares, i enjoyed myself working with the group. :)

alright enough of i week. thanks to the boredom i have experienced after exams, i have discovered something new about myself, that i love baking as it helps you do away time in a fruitful way. it's fruitful as it has delicious food for u at the end! also, im into good read such as the kite runner, new moon, keeping faith and im still waiting for brisingr from the library. i have reserved it! :D anyway, im currently reading the kite runner and boy, it's good! it does have the cool teen romance or the alluring charm of any romance, but it is very satisfying! it discusses the coming of age of a boy in the setting of afghan and then america. this boy is hidden by a tragic secret he knows of his friend and is very guilty for not rescuing him. in the end, the boy grows up, migrates to america and then he receives a call that may help him be able to finally right the wrong. nice book, i must recommend it to u! heh, and im also watching the 9pm show on ch 8. it's not bad too. and dawn yeoh acts rather well! :) on the com, im into good movies and gladiator has caught my eye. :)

okay, i shall go watch gladiator now. :)
