math trail.

day 2 of learning festival! kicked off with basketball clinic.. some pretty boring drills at the start. first drill was layup and i missed my very first layup HA. so loser.
Then we did some bo liao bouncing things then do left hand layup and i scored a few. omg there's this super super extra J1 he keeps going like 'yes, try to jump higher abit. ' 'ok raise ur hand higher' 'your left leg has to go up first' and makes alot of stupid comments for just about everyone?

well i know i'm not the best of basketball players but i know i was doing the layup like probably on par or even better than him (saw him attempt lefthand later) and he just goes on and on. apparently everyone says he's extra (pewi told me)

after that we played match! 3v3. quite fun though i missed quite a few lan-di cos the school rim is SO much higher than our church. Played quite well made some nice assists :p
And.. my team thrashed the j1 basketball team (not the first team, just 3 players from there) 7-2. haha. losers. then one guy goes 'oh i was so relaxed just now ill play serious now'.. yknow the typical badloser remark . then they ask us play till 11.. they pulled back to 7-5 then we had to stop cos the other court wanted to play with us.

ok so after basketball clinic was math trail!! basically.. math competition where first prize is 2gb MP3 player worth $99.

It's like.. 5 stations where you go to solve puzzles. Then you have this separate puzzle sheet which you can solve on the go... like got 5-6 puzzles in it. I solved the sudoku one damn fast.. it was quite easy. Then there was 'Einstein's puzzle' which i solved too :p didn't solve it like that website suggests, i filled up what i could then guess-and-checked the rest.
Ask me if you wanna know what the stations were like, i'm lazy to type out and i dont think anyone will be interested either.

(omg ok i just did a random search for one of the puzzles in math trail [damn i got it wrong!] and i came across a super chim puzzle. The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever)


and i just finished A History of Violence.. omg it's a super super super boring show. i dont even wanna tell you about it because.. it ruins the show and it's damn boring. damn damn boring. just see the main character killing people very skifully. Like 1v3 he also kill. haha. Not the Bruce Lee Jackie Chan way.. those people only make the person fall down.. this guy KILLS them straight away.
Think smash windpipe, break neck, etc.
Super boring show, very slow-moving, boring boring.

AND finally, i've been practising card spinning. :) i'm not very good at it yet.. here's a video. just watch the first 20 seconds, the rest is lousier. (er that's my mom nagging somewhere in the middle of the video)

learning fest day 1 and southpark.

hmm.. had learning festival today (and tmr)
Learning festival is basically.. no school for 2 days, and students are supposed to sign up for courses such as 'how to bake' and 'learn tennis' and.. 'resume writing' etcetc. Have like 100 over courses i think. Each student has to sign up for 4 courses .

I signed up for Tchoukball, basketball clinic and math trail. Since math trail will be 3 hours it is considered as 2 courses.

okok i know what on earth is Tchoukball you may ask. It's quite hard to explain but i'll try!

it's something like handball.. where you can take 2-3 steps with the ball and you pass to your teammates or shoot. The 'goal' is this trampoline-like net which is angled in such a way that if you face it straight on and throw the ball into it, it bounces back to you.
Ok it's best you watch this video first

dont have to finish it, just watch to see what it's like then read my explanation on how the game works

Similar to handball, there is a restricted zone which no player may enter (like a semicircle around the 'goal') You can jump inside though but must release the ball before you land. A team scores a point if he throws the ball at the trampoline, it bounces OUT of the restricted zone, and touches the floor before the opposing team can catch it.
So for example if i throw the ball at the trampolinegoal thing and it bounces out and the enemy team member catches it before it bounces, it is NOT a point scored.

No interceptions or steals are allowed, the only way for a possession turnover is when i rebound a shot by the opposing team. And there are no fixed sides for scoring, i can score at either side as long as after i start ball i clear the halfway line.

Heh chim?

my first team had 2 basketball guys + alwyn and others, and they were damn irritating can. those 2 guys just kept passing to themselves and shooting by themselves so i didn't touch the ball at all for first 2 games with them in my team -_- asses.

Then the 3rd game teams were switched, and WHEW both of them were not in my team. Was more fun cos i got to touch the ball more. never score anything though. but got save some shots. haha.

after that watched john lijian and his dance group perform.. nice sia! hope someone videoed and will upload.


~~
Just watched SouthPark The Movie.. was quite stupid and boring for most of the show, though it does have its funny stupid parts.
Think ill watch historyofviolence or hannibalrising next. :) hmmm.z

OH MY HOMIE.

ok ... just finished texas chainsaw massacre (-the beginning)...

i swear it's the sickest scariest goriest gruesomess show i ever seen! If you thought Saw 3 was sick (where they cut open the guy's head to operate his brain).. you havent seen anything. Texas Chainsaw Massacre has like 10 of those scenes? haha.

and it's super scary and intense and exciting for most of the show too. like the first hour is just scary and exciting then the 2nd part gets really really gruesome.

Highlight this paragraph if you dont have a weak stomach:
->picture cutting through someone's forearm and pulling out a vein. picture ramming a chainsaw through a guy's torso and sawing through his body all the way up. picture using a knife to cut out a guy's face and ripping it off his skull.<-
ok, maybe you don't want to.

gory shit. damn, im afraid to watch hannibal now. hahaha.
