S* Star=D

S*star!!I'm so happy that day when I saw that I'm posted to S*star!!Anyway, that's weeks ago. The first official lesson at S*star was great!! We had fun and games. We played double whacko, whacko, truth and dare. Haha, S*star got rumour. The chairman got a rumoured "girlfriend". Or that's what my friend in S*star said. She studied in that same school. S*star is really great anyways!!

Our first lesson with teachers is like doing an experiment. We put two candles on a plasticine, stick it to the container then filled it with water. Then, light the candles and cover it with a gas jar. The lights will go out and the water level will rise. Then we had to explain why. After that, the teacher left us to create an experiment of our own to prove the theories just now to be right. Super fun!!We filled our water till half-full, and the water level rose beyond the candle causing the candle to float!

Then today was competition preparation day. Or rather, S*star schedule was every wednesday experiments, friday competition preparation day. So my group signed up for Science X-challenge, whereby a stand-alone demonstration shows some concept of science. Our group name: Sungalaxy!!So funny!!

I love S*star!!=D Oh, AND THIS CCA DOESN'T SLACK!!

Unlucky week!!!

This few days super unlucky. First, I ran and my apple dropped. For those who know me, you will know what I meant. So sad!!No more cute apple!!My apple also had a shoelace tied around it with my house name ORION!!I do not know where is it, but anyway I think most likely the stations would not keep such stuff, and probably it means that I am fated to change a new keychain. All right, I shall get one during the march holidays.

Secondly, there's a time whereby my friends and I were not late, but the teacher came first!!And everyone teased us for being late.That's the first time. After that, fancy that the gp rep doesnt know where the gp is being held at. It was shifted to other places, but my friends and a few others were waiting in another classroom. So we were late again.
