I Have Nothing To Lose, Except One

This post is about my MGMP English Contest last Sunday. I woke up late, I still thought about 'oh-if-only-I-can-absent', and I wore a uniform with a pair of sandals to perform in that contest (Call me insane!?). But, here I should emphasize you all that, I'm not a type of child who love to be preoccupied with any various type of contests.

 

My speech script, which I made by myself

 

We went to the contest location (a government school) with this school bus

 

Between 30++ participants who joined speech section, I got number 26

Another representative from my school for speech section, Nadia :)

 

Another representatives, there were 24 people from my school through grade 7-9

Grace, Me, and Michelle

Nadia got 16th turn, so she performed before me, she's awesome!

 

Mine, Nadia took this pic

Time for honesty, I don't remember what I said during my speech :D I don't even remember the script I've made before. When it came to my turn, I walked to the front calmly without any expression or nervousness, I barely know what kind of feeling which dominated my mind at that time. I only recognized it as a 'semi-conscious' condition that I seldom experience, except in my meditation session (I meditate with brainwave music sometimes). And when I fully came from my semi-consciousness, my speech ended. I almost laugh that time, my mind was like 'What the heck I was talking about for my speech?'. No matter how hard I tried, I never remember -- until now -- my words in that speech lol. Today, I was told that I don't passed the contest, but it's okay, I have nothing to loss. Besides, this contest wasn't my desire and I've done my best. If only, I passed, I should face another stressing week (make a script all over again, practice it every night, sacrifice my Sunday, think about it in between my school tasks that weighty enough without addition of a contest). Even though, it's all a pure honest confession from me, I admit that I'm a bit disappointed too! Because I have one thing that I lost..., I lost a chance to make my parents proud of me, and that's a big matter :(

Happily

I was so busy during these days. Many things happened. Many tasks came. Many tests are waiting. But..., I still happily did my routine today with a cheerful manner. Thanks God for that :) Oh, anyway, Book-Week started from this day until 20 January on my school. This year theme is TWIST (Tune in Wonderful Inspiring Story) and our main story is Oliver Twist (last year we got Three Cups of Tea). What is Book-Week?

We usually have Silent Suspense Reading time for 15 minutes, but on Book-Week occasion we should read at total 30 minutes per day!

 

I used this book for TWIST time, a historical romance by Johanna Lindsey

A few famous book-stores (for example, Times and Paperback) also participated, so there were a few stalls at the main chapel of our school. I'm so happy to see many books inside but I should save my money since Dad will go for business trip tomorrow. He left money to me and Chelsea, because our Mama is so pelit wor, stingy! (I don't lie, may ask all people here). Anyway, school is getting heavier now since grade 9 will have national exams from government by the end of April. And the material is hella awesome, so many, should learn through grade 7-9 books all over again (the matter is, not just for 1 subject, but for the whole subjects.)

Few handouts

And do you remember about yearbook illustration? I finished it last Saturday after passed long hours of re-drawing. I also done with my Oliver Twist script tonight. And I ever told you about MGMP English Competition, didn't I? So, finally, I will go as one of school representative for that contest (I got speech section, not writing as I mentioned before). MGMP will be held on Monday, 22 January 2011. But, that isn't the thing that I really concerned, I instead nervous about Violin test for next Tuesday.

 

We received a new material by last week and we will face a test directly next week

Yearbook illustration sketch, I'll use a thicker pencil before scan it

Oh, I also found this old drawing ha ha ha :D

By the way, on our last Saturday outing, I bought a magazine before we watched Faster at the cinema. But this magazine made me way too excited he he he... Why was that?

 

Wanna take a guess? Which part made me excited? lol

This one enough to give you all a clue :P

What A Day

Junior High department held a Friendship Day (actually today was the second session, first session of FD held on Monday when I skipped school as I mentioned before, I wasn't interested with Friendship-thingy), we had a lot of contests during first and second session of FD event. Indeed, I went to school this morning, just because I was a participant of Fashion Show contest (it was my responsibility as a participant to come and make my class win, I wouldn't skip this session for my class sake). My partners were Ilona and Sheilly as costume maker like me, plus Christopher and Vania as model. The chosen models would perform our 'costume-creation' on a small runaway. Funny. I didn't aim to make my model friends embarrassed with costumes that I would create, but I did embarrassed them when I (or Ilona for exact) chose a 'Christmas Theme'. We won third prize over 17 participated classes.

Made by Angie, Ilona, and Sheilly. Performed by Chris and Vania. We represented grade 9B and won third prize!

 

My favorite was grade 9E, they were awesome, too bad they didn't win cause of some criteria

 

Half participants 

FD photos by Irene

It was tiring, seriously, I didn't really enjoy that kind of event. I prefer studying inside class ha ha ha. Anyway, I still have a long list of insanities.

• Secret Pal event from 8 until 15 December
• Potluck and Christmas Party on 16 December
• Yearbook photo session on 16 December evening
• Book week on 17 January
• I should make a drama script for Oliver Twist right before 17 January
• Art hand-craft project

 

See the third dot, I will have a yearbook photo session on 16 December so today Ma brought me to the mal, we were shopping for outfits folks. I hate shopping, basically. I'm a tomboy (and nerd). I think a lot about books and knowledge, but I have no attention about fashion. Only emergency-alert which able to kick me out of my shell to shop. Well, at least I had a bonding-time with my Ma, thanks to this ridiculous photo session.

Take a sneak peek :P

What a day! I really tired now. I went back home at 10 PM from mal. I didn't have enough rest these days so I will sleep right away. Night people!
