Today i came to school with stomach ache and had diarrhea again. I don't know why am i having diarrhea so frequently these few days. It seems like my stomach is kind of weak these few days. Maybe because there is too many traumatizing events happening. Well, today the first thing we had was chemistry lesson at the auditorium. All 6 classes were there. After 1 and the half hours of chemistry, it was physics. One after another. Physics...i don't know if i should say it is funny, interesting or what. Mr Song really has his way of teaching. His teaching can ensure that no one will fall asleep during his lesson but he really has a lot of gestures and movements. These gestures and movements really made everyone laughed hard. But to me, he is quite fast, sometimes, it will be better if he slows down a bit. But it seems like he is lack of time. Then, it was recess. The whole canteen belongs to the secondary 3!!! Well, i think 3/4 of 3E5 is not in school today. Majority of the art students went to Shanghai today and i think all the D&T students went to NYP today so there is like only 1/4 of the class in school today. Every stall in the canteen has very short queue :) Right after recess, it is the Maths Challenge. It was the very first Maths Challenge in Zhonghua. It was really exciting, everyone is so excited. This maths challenge is organised by mr poh and the scholars. As audiences, we also had a chance to play. Xin yu, jolyn and i were somehow discussing the questions sometimes. Well, whenever we found out the answers, we didn't go up and give an answer. But i kept on calling yu jiao to tell her that i know the answer but she kept on asking me to go up or else, she will not answer to me. LOL! At last, when xin yu found out an answer for the question, i went up to give my answer and the answer was actually wrong... So embarrassing. That was what i was worried of, i might embarrass myself. Well, there was a part where audiences were asked to volunteer themselves to play the tan-gram. I remember, in primary school, rosyth always give us tan-gram for free and asked us to play with it during lower primary. Last time, i don't know what was that and i was just randomly playing with it. Well, xin yu and i actually managed to form the pictures using the tan-gram in our mind but of course we didn't go up to the front. But instead, we called hu ju to pass us a set of tan-gram and we were playing on the table. And we managed to solve the picture faster than those at the front but we had some help from hu ju so, in fact there is actually 3 people working on it. Haha! After the whole challenge, my class came in the third, following by 3E6 and the first is 3E4. Then, it was the prize presentation. Well, i managed to find out that the third prize was a $5 popular gift voucher. So little only... Then, the day ended at 1.20pm. The maths challenge was really fun because everyone was so enthusiastic and excited for the challenge.
