Everyday, I was awaken to the incessant ringing of the alarm, much I as hate it, I woke up. I brushed my teeth or it will stink and carried on with my breakfast. Then I head of for bus. Taking to my friends then.......woke up! Still tired, I dragged my heavy feet as I trudged wearily to my classroom.
There I see Zihan and Jack, giggling at the sight of them. But then few seconds later...BOOM, I fl back to slept, to be awoken by the chairman or monitor, it was time for flag raising ceremony.
After that, we have reading period where Zihan will...... Anyway, the lessons with Mrs. Anu will be always filled with fun and laughter then head for recess where we have to go through the daunting slope, which 'someone' has fell before.
To wrap it off with training, cross-country has really energy consuming exercises and countless number of kilometers to run but it was good and healthy.
The times I had was always fun as I laughed non-stop with friends. It was also tiring after training.
This is a typical day for Me.

Memories of school Days
The Son is in Secondary School by Hwa Chong Institution
The monitor badge shine gloriously
Under the resplendent sun
A day was not finished
Unless I am done
Noise filled the class
As scoldings followed
All was silent
As the teacher bellowed
The teacher left
It was my turn
They would not listen
They would not learn
Hard as I try
They're still making a din
Not to mention the amount of dirt
Engulfing the bin
The day's over
Students are free to roam
Relieved as I was
I can go back home
The monitor badge shine gloriously
Under the resplendent sun
A day was not finished
Unless I am done
Noise filled the class
As scoldings followed
All was silent
As the teacher bellowed
The teacher left
It was my turn
They would not listen
They would not learn
Hard as I try
They're still making a din
Not to mention the amount of dirt
Engulfing the bin
The day's over
Students are free to roam
Relieved as I was
I can go back home
Poem Analysis
The writer has great hopes for his future in his school, there were ups an downs in his school, good times and bad times such as when black crows try to interrupt
when they sing the National Anthem and maintaining his shoes white. His school had all kinds of interesting stuffs such as bare thighs of hardworking scouts which he found rather amusing. On Chinese New Year his teacher, Mrs. Lee, actually wore a sarong kebaya sang Bengawan Solo. And it was Chinese New Year, not other Malay traditional days!
Singapore was too small, it is the capital of its own. His school was really interesting and once, his best friend shaded all 'A's during the test for his Multiple-choice paper
In the photograph, he closed his eyes and he really cherishes this photograph which shows he really treasures his times in school, with his friends.
In conclusion, the writer thought his school was rather amusing, interesting, fun and he cherishes and treasures the times in his schooldays.

NYGH AND HCI's track and field
CSM
CSM
For our annual NUGH AND HCI's track and field CSM (combine sports meet) 1O3 has took part in many events especially me, Zihan and Jack.
Jack
-400m
-800m
Zihan
-javelin
-400m
(I do not why but Zihan joined javelin but he did not throw it before. However, on that day, the throw coach went to Zihan and felt his "muscles" and said it was "good" and meant for javelin, he had high expectations of Zihan but when Zihan threw it, the coach was like_____________. Shocked to say the least, when he saw the javelin spinning in the air and overturn.)
Advise from javelin pro MRS ANU did not seem to help much as Zihan still got disqualified. If you did not know.... Mrs Anu is a professional javelin thrower in her younger days. (Do not be mistaken, Mrs. Anu is still very very very young)
We also got many medals
Jack
-400m 1st
-800m 2nd
Me
-800m 1st
-300m 3rd
For the 3000m I ran, I did not know why but I flunked it and I lost by a mere 0.17seconds and 0.63seconds from the 1st and 2nd runner.
4x100m
1O3 ruled for heats, the runners are as shown
1st-Lam Zihan
2nd-Tan Yu Xiang
3rd-Kevyn Yong
4th-Jack tan
We did very well although we had a nasty fall but still emergered victorious for the heats. We couldn't have done it without good teamwork
4x400m
We got 1ST for 4x400m and runners are as shown
1st-Lam Zihan
2nd-Jack Tan
3rd-Kevyn Yong
4th-Tan Yu xiang
As the whistle blew, Zihan, as the first runner ran like the wind, but faced with strong opponents from the sprints track and field like kee Sian etc....
Although we were the 3rd, 3 more rounds to go, we really have to give credit to Jack Tan as he really "CHOING!!!!!!!" and caught up all the way, being first, 2 more rounds to go and kevyn maintained the lead while I finished off , scared to be overtaken by other runners such as Clarence, the last runner.
However, everyone did their best and we won because of teamwork and team spirit.
On Friday, 14th May, we have our 4x100m finals and hope you will support us and Mrs Anu wanted to bring her dog "Zeus" to make us run faster. We would try our best to make 1O3 proud!!!!

B.B and the Taximan's Story
On 28th April, we discussed about two stories, B.B and the taximan's story, wrote by different writers, Chiam Potok and Catherine Lim respectively.
B.B
Introduction:
Characters: Dad, Mom and B.B
DAD-doesn't like to have children after little Timmy died.
- Dad doesn't wants to go through all that HELL with another sick child.
(I would like to emphasize on the word "HELL" as this clearly shows that the father of B.B is annoyed and frustrated with children and Mom's pregnancy makes him
Feel worse.
-relationship with B.B very close.
(Confiding secrets to him such as his football dreams and aspirations but not to his wife.)
Has many problems that he could not share to his wife as their relationship is strained and there are disagreements and arguments between them.
MOM-loves children
-has a strained relationship with husband
-family means everything to her
-has a fragile heart but a strong front.
("Cries secretly when no one is looking")
B.B-Hates fights between parents and has no one to confide in to his problem as his parents are always quarrelling.
-very filial and mature
-has great emotions
(Cried a lot that night)
-relationship between parents is quite close
Taximan's story
- Father and lay choo's relationship is not very good and Lay Choo seems to hates the father.
- father strict and do not understand his daughter
Visa-versa
Daughter is stubborn, do not understand father.
-lack of trust in the end
Common Theme
In both Stories, they talk a lot about relationships between
-father and daughter
-mother and daughter
-father and mother
We can also refer these stories to a similar story village by the sea
In all stories, the father is the one who created the mess, leaving the children to be victims.

Hwa Chong Track n Field
On 14th April 2010, there was our anual Nationals Tack and field competition. Sprinters, jumpers, throwers and pole vaulters came down to the famous event, not to mention half of the secondary one classes. 1O3 was also selected and hence, we made our down Chua Chu Kang Stadium to witness this extraordinary event.
The event started with high jumpers and students throwing javaline. Hwa Chong outdone the rest in Javaline and high jump too. In the end, one Hwa Chong student got 1st! Now came the much anticipated event, the track event. Mrs Anu, Zihan and I was chatting and had a bet who would win. Mrs Anu began talking about how GREAT indians were and how fast they were. So Mrs Anu bet on a Indian girl, me on a hwa Chong girl and Zihan, as usual, the prettiest he could find there ( so desperate )! Mrs Anu was indeed smart and the indian girl won.
Later, many races took place and had even more bets. This time, it was Jack to play. We bet and I won the bet 4 times in a row! However, the B division boys had their best 4x100m relay which they have been winning for many times. So, having some information from Jack, I was sure that Hwa Chong would win. Thus I said to Mrs Anu:" If Hwa Chong don't win, you can beat me up."
In the end Hwa Chong lost and Mrs Anu.............

10th March 2010 (Wednesday)
Day 1
We were on the bus, going to St.Johns Island, for our Hwa Chong secondary 1 camp. On the bus, the two instructors from the camp, Justin and Shafiq, introduced themselves. They were really friendly and it was not long before we became close buddies. Elated and excited, everyone was with hoping that the bus ride would be faster so we cold get to our camp.
……… (Nothing really happened)
We got on the boat ad during the journey, Zihan felt very tired and took a rest, he fell asleep and happened to lose his balance and fell on me. At that time, I was also tired and resting, Mrs Anu, dying to get a picture of me
(I don’t know why?) Took a snapshot of me and Zihan sleeping! I felt so humiliated! We reached St. Johns Island and took a long walk to our destination.
……… (Nothing really happened except for a short briefing)
We learnt to pitch a tent and carried on with some activities. There was the exhausting and energy consuming commander’s crawl which made a hole in Zihan’s pants. There were also other games. It was time for lunch as we did the hungry cheer. At night, we did a kidnap game were Qiyuan was abducted. I, huisheng, and William went on a quest to find him. Without any clues, it was almost impossible to find him. A one point of time, I went into a place which I found rather suspicious and found a few instructors with a bunch of students which I think Qiyuan was there. I knew we had found them but the instructors shooed us away. In the end Qiyuan was found there.
At night we sleep in the tent, the 1st hour was BURNING HOT!!!!! After the hour, it was rather cooling and just as I was about to sleep, Jack change turned around to sleep in another angle and fell asleep, leaving me and Arnold to a small little space. We could not even stretch our legs! It was too cramp but I finally slept.
