I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough to truly consecrate the hour.Class partaye rawks. Well, kind'a. Made a din by the poolside and got banned. wtfGot to resort to spending almost the whole time in the function room playing indoor games.
Eileen's condo is a maze, if you know what I mean. Got lost while finding the way out. Even the males became Lost Boys of Neverland with Peter Pan.
Amazing.
Wacko, Twister and Pinata were fun. Just one of my favorites. :)
(Pardon any errors)
WackoHilarious game where someone goes around wacking people's heads. Okay, it's not literally. The class gathers in a circle like this:

The people of the outer circle are supposed to protect those in the inner circle. The person in the centre is supposed to go around hitting people's heads (using empty water bottle, in our case). The game starts when someone (of the outer circle) shouts out a friend's name (in the inner circle). The person (in the centre) is then supposed to hit the one who's name is called. But before the person of the inner circle could be hit, the one (of the outer circle) is supposed to shout another's friend's name. This continues till the centre person successfully hits someone. The person hit(inner circle) will then become the "wacker" and is replaced by the (outer circle) mate. The outer circle will then be replaced by the ex-"wacker".
If you got it. (doubt it) Good. If not, forget it.
Twister 
First time playing. And I've got to admit, I love it as soon as I played it.
There is a twister mat with 24 circles of four different colours: blue, red, yellow, green. On the twister spinner, there are 16 circles shaped like numbers of your average household clock. They are arranged in a big circle, and divided into four portions(left foot, right foot, right hand, left hand) with 4 small circles each. Each circle represents the colour: GREEN, RED, YELLOW, BLUE. Someone spins it and when the the it points towards a small circle, for example, a blue circle in the "right hand" portion, the player is supposed to place his/her right hand on a blue circle print on the huge mat. The fun thing is that it requires you to twist and turn in order to reach different circles. Fun yeah?
Pinata
Our Pinata was very special. It was hand made by Dawn. Wow.
We're supposed to hit the Pinata, kind'a like a balloon with sweets inside. Weird thing is, no matter how hard we try, we didn't break the Pinata. We just dented the Pinata. In the end, Yiching tore it open and scattered the sweets all over.
It's raining sweets!
But wouldn't it be more interesting if it was raining ... =x

I'll do some reminiscing of our post-exam activities
JUGGLING
Instructed by proffesional jugglers who juggle for a living. They know how to joke, don't they?
Heard that the shortest time his student manage to successfully juggle was within 13minutes. If my memory isn't wrong. Started with 1 ball, 2 balls, then 3 balls. All I got to say is that juggling would turn out disastrous for me. I ended up catching balls, rather than juggling balls.
DIABOLO
Was nothing but funfunfun! :D
It's like this giant yoyo thingy which your control using a pair of chopsticks linked with a string.

We started our with learning how to spin the diabalos.
Start spinning diabolos --> Start throwing diabolos into the air --> twisting diabolos sideways
;) Just a few tricks we learnt.
SKIPPING
The sun was scorching and we were dead-beat learning under the heat while sitting on floors of burning coals. Hahas. The instructors moved too fast (in my opinion) and I didn't have time to successfully grasp one skill and they immediately moved on to another. Time limit see.
We learnt correct technique of skipping --> front loop --> back loop --> side loop. That's all I remember. (Names are highly inaccurate. Please note.
HIP-HOP DANCING
Coached by hip-hop dancers (2 malay males + 1 chinese lady) The beat got us into it and everyone was soon getting it. Steps were real simple, but the problem is that I don't have that "hip-hop" style. Unlike Pearl from 1C. She proved her dancing skills during Primary 5 camp. She was real amazing. :)
STREET OPERALearnt different characters of the chinese opera in NAPFA:
- 生(male roles) = 小生(young man) + 武生(courageous man) + 老生(old man)
- 旦(female roles) = 花旦(young girls) + 青衣(ladies) + 刀马旦(agile girl warriors) + 老旦(old ladies)
- 净(painted face) = 黑脸 + 红脸+ 白脸
- 丑(clowns) = 文丑 + 武丑
Then a few performers from 1A and 1B were chosen to act out the Chinese Opera. The main characters were to recite some lines they memorised in an exaggerated manner while doing those moves. Chinese Opera often exaggerate movements to signify different meanings, and the make-up and dressing can take up to 2 hours. Depends on the character. For example, 花旦 wear elaborate head dressings. It ended with performers perform a story from both sides: 1 team from 1A + 1B and another from 1C+1E.
Time limit. Blog about the last day of school tomorrow. Results, class league presentation, yueqi's tearful departure.
