THE BEES

CLASS GATHERING!

2010-03-14T18:55:00.001+08:00

Hey beeians! Ohmygod, I miss the class so much!

There will be a gathering this coming March holidays. The date, time and location have been confirmed.

When? 17 March 2010, Wednesday.

Where? Marina Barrage!

Time? 3.30pm @ Marina Bay MRT station.

Please be punctual because the shuttle bus is leaving Marina Bay for Marina Barrage @ 3.50pm. The seats are limited, so we have to queue first. If we were to miss the bus, we will have to wait till 4.30pm.

It will be a picnic, but definitely not pot luck because we might just end up with 20 over packets of potato chips. The plan will go as follows:

I need a group of people (about 4-5) to make sandwiches enough for everyone,

a group of people to bring in different kind of food fit for consumption,

someone to get packet drinks,

someone to provide picnic mats,
KITES! Board Games(?)

You are also welcome to flood my inbox with suggestions on what kind of FOOD we should have/ what games we should play, etc. Do note that any items under consumption goods have to be halal and is prepared under hygienic conditions.

Most importantly, I need you guys to let me know if you are coming or not latest by tomorrow (15 March 2010).

That's all for now, any updates about the class gathering will be updated here!

Cheers,
RJ.

Dear 4Beeians and teachers too,

A little announcement over here.

Please make yourself available on 28th December 2009, Monday. We shall have a little gathering.

"Post Christmas cum Pre-New Year" - quoted from Ms Kok.

Just a simple dinner will do as most of us might be working. Time and location will be confirmed again. So, those people who are working, please do apply leave for that day. And also, do let me know if you guys are coming by sending me an e-mail (you should have received James' compilation of e-mails by now), tagging on the class blog or leave me an SMS. If you are not coming, you still have to let me know. You would also probably receive an e-mail by me regarding the gathering just in case some of our classmates doesn't read the class blog, and an invitation through facebook. Anyway, if you guys aren't on facebook, I strongly encourage you to create an account over there. It allows us to keep in touch easily. Alright, I do hope to hear from you guys soon. Take care.

Love,

Rujun.

3 weeks left. I can see that most of you are really putting in the effort. For the few that keep hiding behind your so called problems. Don't blame it on someone else, it all depends on yourself now.

I want to say only 1 thing. DEAL WITH IT. Don't EMO & try to gain sympathy when your result is released. Your classmates will know that you are just a big fake.

Touch My Body (Tuts My Barreh) / Karaoke Fail (English subtitles)

2009-06-08T00:23:00.004+08:00

Nearly every day, Kevin Laue receives a letter from a stranger.
Italy, California, Texas, France. Last week he even heard from the father of a newborn from New York City, whose child has only one hand.
It’s the same condition suffered by Laue.
“He and his wife had their kid three weeks ago,” Laue said. “He said this was the first time since his baby was born that he’s been happy, because he heard my story and realizes his kid could do anything.”
Laue paused.
“It’s almost overwhelming,” he said, “to have this kind of effect on so many people.”
Although he’s yet to play a game, Laue recently became one of the most inspirational stories in college basketball when he signed a national letter of intent with Manhattan College.
Laue has dealt with the condition since birth, when his left arm was wedged between the umbilical cord and his head. While the situation kept the circulation to Laue’s brain from being cut off, it also stopped the blood flow in his arm, which stunted its growth.
Laue, now 6-foot-11, refuses to let his disability affect him – especially when it comes to basketball.
Just ask touted Kansas signee Thomas Robinson, whose prep school team lost to Laue’s squad last season.
“He’s big and he’s strong and he plays with heart,” Robinson said. “He had a great game against us. To me he’s legit – even with one hand.”
On offense, Laue – who is missing most of his left forearm – keeps the ball away from defenders by waving it over his head like a water polo player. He scores most of his points on hook shots and put-backs.
When the 232-pound Laue is on defense, he checks the man he’s guarding by sticking his left arm into the player’s back.
“It only takes one hand to block a shot, and he’s as good at it as anyone,” said Fletcher Arritt, who coached Laue at Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia. “The kid is a monster. If he had two hands he’d be at Kentucky or North Carolina right now, and we wouldn’t even be talking.”
Instead Laue is headed to Manhattan, where he’s simply thankful to be getting a chance.
In some ways, the events that led to Kevin Laue receiving a Division-I scholarship offer began 16 years ago, on a baseball field.
Manhattan coach Barry Rohrssen still remembers watching the television in his living room that day as NY Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott threw a no-hitter against the Cleaveland indians. Abbott only has one hand.
“It was one of the most inspiring things I’d ever witnessed,” Rohrssen said. “I just remember thinking, ‘I’m one of the thousands of people who just witnessed this no-hitter because someone took a chance on Jim Abbott. Who was the person that believed in him? Who was the person that gave him his chance?’ ”
Years later, Rohrssen said he thought of Abbott when he heard about Laue.
“It just made sense to me to try to be that person for [Laue],” Rohrssen said. “This opportunity is going to help more people than Kevin. He’s going to be a source of motivation and inspiration for thousands of others. Not just people with disabilities, but everyone.”
There was a time when it seemed as if Laue wouldn’t have to wait so long before catching his big break.
After deciding in middle school that earning a Division-I basketball scholarship would be his No. 1 goal, Laue began doing everything he could to enhance his chances of achieving his dream.
Shooting and ball-handling drills when no one else was around, weightlifting sessions and conditioning exercises … Laue dedicated his life to improving his game. Heck, as an eighth-grader, Laue was on five different teams.

“In the back of their minds, everyone knows what it takes to get what they want,” Laue said. “The question is whether they’re willing to actually do those things and put in the time. Because of the extra obstacle I was facing with my [arm], I just had to work harder than most people.”

Things were looking good for Laue entering his senior season at Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton, Calif. A handful of colleges were showing interest, and then-President George Bush had asked to meet Laue after reading about the player in Sports Illustrated.
Unfortunately, just when everything appeared to be going his way, things took a turn for the worse for Laue.
Hours after shaking the President’s hand on the runway of the San Francisco airport, Laue broke his leg during a game and missed the remainder of the season. Recruiters stopped calling. His chances of playing college basketball appeared all but finished.
“That’s what everyone thought,” said Frank Martin, Laue’s AAU coach. “But Kevin wouldn’t let [his dream] die.”
Along with coaching Laue in the offseason, Martin was an independent filmmaker who had been shooting a documentary on Laue. Impressed with how dedicated and serious Laue was about playing at the next level, Martin made a cross-country call to Arritt, whom he had played for at Fork Union in the early 1980s alongside former first-round draft pick Chris Washburn.
“Coach,” Martin told Arritt, “I’m going to bring a player out there to meet you, but I’m letting you know now that he only has one hand.”
“One hand?” Arritt responded. “I’ve got enough problems with the players here that have two hands!”
All joking aside, once Arritt saw Laue, he knew he had something special.
“He had that big old catcher’s mitt of a hand,” Arritt said. “Seriously, when he held the ball, it looked like he was holding a grapefruit. His toes were about to come out of his size-17 shoes, and you could tell he played with a mean streak.
“Plus, the kid is nearly 6-11. They just don’t make many of them like that.”
Fork Union is a strict military school that prohibits cell phones and requires its students to wake up at 5:30 a.m. each morning. While it’s not uncommon for college basketball prospects to spend a year at a prep or military school to improve their grades or enhance their game, Laue’s goals were different.
“Kevin went there just so he could be seen, so he could be recruited,” Rohrssen said. “If he wasn’t determined, he wouldn’t have put himself through that. He could’ve accepted playing a different level of basketball at a different college.
“But he put himself through an additional year of school – thousands of miles away from home, at his own expense – with the hope that it’d get him to Division I. Take all that into consideration and tell me that this kid doesn’t deserve a chance.”
With Laue helping to set the tone, Fork Union posted a 20-10 record in 2008-09 against some tough competition.
One night it was the JV squad at North Carolina, the next it was a physical test against West Point. Whether it was a practice or a game, Laue said he was on the court six days a week during his time at Fork Union.
The hard work paid off in victories against Robinson and No. 1-ranked Brewster Academy. Fork Union also defeated the country’s fifth-ranked team.
“I got 100 percent better,” said Laue, who averaged about 10 points and five rebounds. “I feel like I became a totally different player.”
Still, as much as he was improving, Laue was seen as nothing more than a novelty by the Division-I coaches who came to recruit his teammates. Laue believes he knows the reason why he was ignored.
“Basketball is a business,” Laue said. “Even the ones who may have wanted to sign me … they were probably afraid they’d get fired if things didn’t work out.”
Even today, Arritt turns sour when he discusses the lack of attention Laue received from college recruiters.
“He had a great attitude,” Arritt said. “He came in and worked hard and he put up good numbers. But I can’t tell you the number of people who were frightened over the fact that he had one hand.
“He played some phenomenal games, yet no one ever knocked on the dressing room door and said, ‘I’d like to recruit that kid.’ No one even came close.”
The season ended in March, and Laue wasn’t sure what would come next. Arritt called Wofford head coach and Fork Union alum Mike Young about Laue, and Young told him he could get him into school and perhaps place Laue on scholarship the following year. Colgate made a similar offer.
Neither situation, though, seemed like as good of a fit as Manhattan College, where Brother Thomas Scanlon, the school’s president, had read a story about Laue in the New York Times. Scanlon showed the article to Rohrssen and asked if he planned to recruit Laue.
Turns out Rohrssen had already begun the process.
“Fletcher Arritt told me he’d take [Laue] and put him on any of the great teams he’s ever coached,” said Rohrssen, whose team went 16-14 last year. That says a lot.
“There are a lot of kids out there that coaches take chances on. Some have poor academic histories. Others are difficult to coach or have off-court problems. A lot of those kids take things for granted, whereas Kevin appears to be the type of person who will make the most of this opportunity.”
With only one other player taller than 6-11, Laue will be the second-biggest player in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference next season. Martin, the AAU coach, said Laue has “high-major talent” when it comes to shot-blocking and defense. That alone, he said, should earn him some playing time.
Martin is still trying to come up with a title for his documentary on Laue, which he hopes to show at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival.
“This isn’t the story of some guy that went to a little high school, and a coach saw him and signed him because he thought it’d make for a good story,” Martin said. “He played at the highest level of basketball there is – and he beat those guys.
“Things like that sometimes get overlooked because of his disability, and that frustrates him. Kevin would rather be getting the MVP award than the sportsmanship award. He laughs whenever he gets the sportsmanship award. He calls it the ‘handicap award.’ He doesn’t want that award. He wants the ‘outstanding rebounder’ trophy.”
Laue said he plans to spend most of the summer catching up with friends and family in his native California before beginning his career in earnest when he enrolls at Manhattan in August.
“I’m not trying to be cocky, but Coach Rohrssen doesn’t have anything to worry about,” Laue said. “I’m going to go out there and put in the work during the preseason and give 100 percent all year.
“He gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, and I want to repay the favor.”
In the meantime, Laue continues to respond to the nearly 100 emails he’s received on Facebook since his story became public. Sometimes he said he feels bad because it often takes him a week or two to get back with people, but he wants them to know that he reads each letter and is moved by every one.
“Some of them are so powerful,” Laue said. “I want to make sure I take my time and think things out before I write back, because they mean so much to me. One guy wrote the other day and said, ‘Remember, you’re not just out there playing for yourself, you’re playing for all of us, too.’ “
Laue stopped to collect his thoughts.
“You know,” he said, “I never asked to be put in this situation. But now that I have the opportunity to reach all these people … it’s just a blessing. It’s the main thing that fuels me.”

What do you want from yourself?

2009-06-03T21:19:00.003+08:00

1st day of study camp.
There are people who are still late.
What do you want from yourself?

You want miracles from happening?
Expect that subjects you have not put in substantial effort to suddenly become 'clear' & 'easy' for you?

It has always been about attitude. You will not be late if you do not want to.
Enough of whiny excuses.

Some of your classmates also know. They know more than me. They see you in class more than me. They know the real you. They know how much effort you put in.

Some of them also know that a few of you might not make it. Why not you ask them what they think?

They will not be so evil to gloat on 'O' level day but they would not have any sympathy for you.

Think about it. The door is closing but it ain't closed yet.

Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest, who came first or who cares the best. It's about who came and never left!

Hopes & Regrets

2009-05-09T20:12:00.002+08:00

9/5/09 saturday.
This is a day in one of many days in your life. Some of you are not committed yet to do your very best. All of us have issues, problems, insecurities, etc etc....

What is important in your life? Maybe your studies isn't. I can respect that if you know what road least travelled you are going to take.

The majority of you have shown your strength & are working very hard. I don't have to name you. You know who you are.

For those who refuses to heed the words of the teachers, family & friends; promise yourself that you will not cry & pretend you put in your all. I have seen the same scene for 4 years in january, it is quite amusing actually but it will be an insult to all those who loves you.

We can lie to all the people in the world but not ourselves.

4B got talent!!!!!
Eunice. Well, she is a borned dancer.
Kee Loke, saw him danced for BB. Know that he can dance.
Top. I little suprised but it does not clash with my impression of him
BUT BUT BUT.... MEGAWATI!!!! Gosh.. she can dance! Well done girl!
*sorry.. the person in the video looks like Marini*

Had the urge to pen down some words.

MEMORY BOX

Secondary school life is a box full of items of memory.
These are the items that I have in my box:

Autograph book/photos - it reminds me of the friendships build that will last for life.
Eraser - it reminds me of the mistake that I have made but chances are given for me to change and improve
Baton - it reminds me of the the challenges, roles and responsibilities that I took up as a sprinter. It also reminds me of the teamwork that I have experienced.
Medals and certificates - it reminds me of the hardwork, tears and stress that I have to go through to achieve success in running.
Tissue paper - it reminds me of the tears that I have shed over over friendship, over quarrels, over the loss of precious ones and over the stress that I experienced.
Uniform - the journey of searching for my own identity and the purpose in life
speech bubbles - the chit-chat cum gossip sessions that I have with my friends
Hugs - the warmth and love that my friends and I share

You will have your own items that you will pack nicely inside the box called that you will constantly open up for a little laugh 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years and 50 years later.

Before you start packing them into the box, you are left with one important item - you O'level certificate.
My cert reminds me of the scoldings and nagging that I receive from my teachers, the cane strokes that I had on my palm, the progression from standing on the floor to chair to table, the waking up in the middle of the night crying, the staying up late or waking up early to revise for papers, the hand-written notes that I still have with me and most importantly, the perseverance and satisfaction when you know that you ahev tried your best.

When I looked back, I am satisfied with my secondary school life. Will you be?
Have you tried your best? Have you tried your VERY best? 1 year down the road when you open up your box, will you have any regrets? I do not want you to have!

Speech day 2009

Managed to capture a few precious moments. Enjoy =)

2009-04-05T00:20:00.001+08:00

From a blog:
Remember what is important in your life.

What is there to cherish in Singapore? Its a simple answer. Your life outside the system. Your tranquility in those moments of peace when the system's tentacles cannot reach you. Your secret exercise hang-out at Seletar reservior. Your secret fishing spot at MacRitchie. Your little overgrown garden. Your balcony on a crisp early rain-washed morning. Your session in front of the computer, tapping wildly away at your blog, your discussion forum. Your moments with your children, without the blemish of life's worries planted across their delicate brows. Your favorite zi char stall, with your buddies and a couple of beers after a game of football, basketball. Your moments when you are you. Your humanity. Your existence. Your life.

6 more months...

2009-04-05T00:08:00.002+08:00

Time passes really fast. It is already april. Have you settle down yet?
You have 6 more months to turn things around if you haven't done so. It is still not too late.

We do get down once in a while.
Over stuff like school, work, people....

We just need to show them that they can't get us down. We must remember we live our own life. We walk our own path. We decide where we go by the decisions that we make.

I just got stronger, how about you?

PS: It does help if some people will just drop dead. ;)

Happy Birthday James. Maths ain't so unlovable....... Haha.

Dear bees,

I would say that the parent-teacher conference ended off well =)

Instead of meeting 12 parents, I had the chance of meeting 14 parents!

I thought that the conversations with your parents were fruitful, what do you think?

I did enjoy talking to all of your parents *smile*

The results that I showed your parents were the Sec 3 EOY results which I believe all of you can do much better than that!

If you noticed, I have post this simple question to most of you:

Compare the effort that you have put in last year as compared to now?

Less? No difference? a little more? or much much much more? I hope the last answer will be yours =)

Is it hard? I do not think so as long as you start your effort now and maintain it will O'levels.

If your L1R5 is 12 points away from your goal, 12 points divide by 6 subjects is only 2 for each. Cannot achieve it? I do not believe it! Two grades is about 10 points.. so if you were to improve 2 points per month, you only need five months! You still have three extra months to inprove further! It is not that hard isn't it?

So have hope! and coupled with actions, we can achieve it.

With hope, putting in the effort is natural. Without hope, putting in effort is a chore.

So have hope!!! believe it yourself and put in your VERY VERY VERY VERY best!! =)

All the best for your common tests!!! =)

Love,

Miss Kok

2009-02-17T00:15:00.004+08:00

Dear all =)

This week is the Friendship week for 4B. Let us show our love and concern to all of our friends, appreciating them for their friendship and their love towards us =)
You can smile, hug, write notes, help your friend to do something/run an errand and lend them a listening ear =) Most importantly, remember the exchange that we have on Friday!!! I am so looking forward to it! =)

2009-02-07T17:04:00.003+08:00

It started with a meeting with Mrs.Pang and Miss Teo. We were discussing about the CIP plans for year 2009. Mrs Pang was sharing about her plan to go SAS with SLC club and there I was, thinking about how good it will be to bring the entire 4B to SAS, to have an extraordinary experience that can never be obtained from classroom lesson as well as a class bonding. That was how the decision was made (only be me..ooppss) and proposed to 4B during lessons (without accepting 'no' as an answer :P )
I was glad there were no strong objections =)
I do hope that all of you had an unforgettable experience yesterday.
Instead of saying that we were there to bless the old folks, I would like to take a different perspective. How about we were there to be blessed?

1. We are blessed with the chance of performing as a class.
2. We were blessed with the chance of feeding them.
3. We were blessed with the chance of pushing them to their beds.
4. We were blessed with the chance of holding their wrinkled hands full of warmth.
5. We were blessed with the chance of shedding tears for them.
6. We were blessed with the chance of being compassionate and making a difference in their day.
7.We were blessed with their smiles and claps.
8. We were blessed with the chance of doing something meaningful this festive season.
And many many many more...

Your little kind gestures were captured and fondly remembered =)

1. James for coordinating this event. You never hesitate to go forward to serve them.
2. Wen an, Rujun and Top being our guitarists. The class is blessed to have you.
3. Rebecca for taking over the mic and singing so gracefully =) As Lynn said, someone with a big heart.
4. Yu-cheng for just being there to rehearse for the songs (especially doing so for Wen an? :P)
5. Fariz and Andy for singing so loudly =) I could hear your voices.. maybe for the fun and laughter that you have brought to the class.. the piggy back (though it was a little dangerous ar!!!)
6. Willy for being so enthusiastic in pushing and communicating with the old folks
7. Ronal for trying to be part of the conversation with the old folks despite the language barrier. The handshakes and the subtle smile means a lot =)
8. Jasmine Neo for being the first to feed the old folks.. the old folks loved your performance (you must be quite happy when she guessed your age as 15 years old). Li Ying, thanks for playing too =)
9. Lynn for taking the big step to serve them (it does break our hearts to see them)
10. Auntie Tan and Jasmine Koh for taking photos =) Both of you have captured meaningful shots
11. Wang Miao for putting in the effort though she can't speak any dialects
12. Xiao Xia for coordinating the flow of the programmes. You looked stressed up which shows that you care and you are responsible.
13. Chester for being there for his friends. It was touching when you purposely waited for Kee Loke.
14. Siti and Pricia - initially you girls looked shy but glad you girls took a step further
15. Sabina for being the big sister and encouraging your classmates to approach the old folks. You served the old folks so naturally =)
16. The trying to be cool Keeloke chit chatted with one of the Auntie, pushed the wheel chairs and helped to stack up the chairs after the entire event.
16. Yuanting, Yanning, Marini,Megawati and Li Ying for serving the old folks so gently and with a big smile =)

I feel blessed to have such a form class =) I am so proud of all of you!!

2009-02-03T21:00:00.004+08:00

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR THERMOMETER (if you have not brought yours) ON THURSDAY, 5 FEBRUARY 2009.

Thanks.

❤ RUJUN

2009-01-31T22:12:00.003+08:00

Together, let us
give them a big smile,
hold their warm wrinkled hands,
lend them a pair of listening ears,
sing and laugh with them,
give them a big warm hug,
and be generous in giving our love and care.

This coming Friday =)

2009-01-29T21:16:00.002+08:00

Dear all,

There are so many things that Miss Kok wanted to say in class but she always ended up at a loss of words and ended up tensing the atmosphere - which is not good not good.....
So here I am, on behalf of Miss Kok, penning down her care and concern for all of you. Rather than leaving the words flying all over, she would want to focus on the three values of YYSS.

Integrity

Honesty

Be true to yourself and others. Most of the time, we hide because we are afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But the more we hide, the thing that we fear grows stronger.

Responsibility

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies - Mother Teresa
Be responsible and be faithful in completing the 'small' things in your life eg. homework.
Miss Kok really thinks that it does directly reflect your attitude in life.

Love

Two of the love languages (out of five) are words of affirmation and acts of service.
Remember the short activity 4B did as a class last Thursday?
Affirm your neighbours and friends.
Serve your neighbours and friends.

Resilience

Your very best!!!!!!!
In whatever you do, always ask yourself whether you have done your very best.
Could I have done better? Remember? Your presumed best might not be the very best that you can achieve. Keep pushing yourself so that you will have no regrets.

It is Miss Kok's wish that at the end of one year, 4B as a class can call for a real celebration - to celebrate for success in O'levels and in building our character as fine gentlemen/ladies ready to move on to our next phase of life - a step nearer to our dreams. Everyone will say - HEY! I did it! =)

Signing off with love,
Imaginary friend of Miss Kok
(sounded kinda eerie..ooppss)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2009-01-25T13:09:00.004+08:00

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!
( will post more picture after CNY !)

rebecca!

2009-01-24T22:30:00.001+08:00

Well, i posted this on my CCA's blog, so i thought i will share it with you guys too.

What would you do if every time you fell in love with someone you had to say good-bye?

What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?

What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness?

What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt?

What would you do if you loved someone more than anything else and you could never have them?

Some people live and some people die.

Tell your friends, "I love you and you are a true friend... I will always be here for you when and if you need me... If I died tomorrow, you will be in my heart forever."

You might be best friends for one year, pretty good friends the next year, doesn't talk that often the next year, and not talking at all the year after that.

Say, "Even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you."

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.

Remember, everyone needs a friend, someday you might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all, just remember that somebody out there cares about you and always will.

2 Choices

What would you do?....you make the choice.

Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway.

My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question:

'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection.

Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do.

He cannot understand things as other children do.

Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'

Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.

Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?'

I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play.

The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning.

I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt.

I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart.

The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.

In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.

Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.

The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.

The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over.

The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.

Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.

Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!

Run to first!'

Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.

He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled..

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'

Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.

By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team.

He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.

Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'

As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'

Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

I came across this story and thought of sharing with all of you =)

We are visiting the home on the 6th Feb. Though the story is not directly relevant to visiting aged people, isn't it nice if we could make a difference, whether it is small or big. I really thought it would be nice to just help put a smile on their faces =)

Miss Kok

The release of O'levels results

Now, you all know that Monday will be the release of O'levels for your seniors (2008 batch).
As a class, you will be there in the hall from 2.00pm to 3.00pm plus to witness this event. You will start moving to the hall at 1.45pm

As you sit there in the hall.. take close notice of the facial expression that you seniors have.. before and after taking their results.

In one year's time, it will be your turn.. what facial expression would you want then?
Would you want your names to appear on the top 10 list?
Would you want to shout for joy?
Would you want to hug your teachers, your family and your frens and tell them that 'I DID IT!!!!!' .
Would you want the tears to be tears of joy?

I really hope that in one year's time, it will be a day of huge celebration for class 4B'09. Let's work hard towards it as a class =)

Remember I mentioned during PG lesson? As a class, we are accountable to one another and we influence one another. So do keep encouraging and supporting each other! Dun wait.. start now! This will be one channel that you can do so =) This will also be the place that we can post up photos to share our common memories.. the wonderful memories that you will cherish many many years down the road. I am really glad that I will be part of the memories =) So let us walk together and work hard together as a class as we move a step nearer to reaslising the dreams that each of you has.

P/S: If you are reading this post and it is past 12am now.. GO SLEEP!!!!!!

Love,
Miss Kok

Have Specific Goal!!!

Rather than just saying that I will try my best to achieve good results, have a specific goal to work towards too - the magic number that you want to achieve, the magic number that will allow you to go into JC(s) or Poly courses of your choice, the magic number that will allow you to achieve the bigger goal in life.

In the 1950's a Yale University study did some research on the results of goal setting. The results they discovered over a 20 year period were astounding. 20 years later when they investigated the success of the graduates they found that the 3% of graduates with clearly written goals in the 1950's were worth more in terms of wealth than the other 97% put together.

So.. make specific goals!!! =)

And also, a VERY VERY BIG thank you to Ms Meenu for being our form teacher in the 2nd half of 2008. Thanks for putting up with our nonsense and our rebellious attitude. May you have happy memories with your new classes!!

Well, not forgetting Ms Lim, you've been a wonderful form teacher. Here, wishing you all the best in your new school and do remember to invite us to your wedding!!!

E.MATH EXTRA LESSONS

Date: 2-5 December 2008

Time: 9am to 12pm

Venue: School, Math Room

Things to bring: Calculator, Paper and Stationery

People concerned: Anybody who wishes to come (especially those who are weak in math, you know who you are. So, please turn up if you can.)

I've also thought of having study sessions for people who can't study at home or needs to be accompanied when studying. This is to help some of you guys out there for the up-coming exams when school reopen, or a preparation for O levels. Those who wants a study session during the holidays, please "register" at the tagboard. If the response is good, we can begin with it. Closing date for "registration" will be on 7 December 2008.

If you only need a partner to study with, you can also leave a message at the tagboard. So 3B, please look out for that and call whom ever it is concerned and plan the schedule with him/her.

Please also note that these study sessions are only meant for STUDYING. If the whole group thinks that you are creating too much noise or, is a huge distraction to everyone, i'm sorry, but you've got to leave.

I would like to emphasise that, you are to tag the tagboard with YOUR NAME. If you would like to be linked, tag your name with your blog address at the tagboard.

PS. Don't forget your holiday homework! Scroll down for the list of homeworks.

I'm sure everyone remembers this moment aye?

Well I'm sure we have alot more memories, many are sadly, not captured on tape, but at the same time, it probably wouldnt be the same if captured. The school term has come to an end, and soon, the new year will be approaching, and even quickly, it'll be graduation. ):

I hope 3B will live on!

So in this holiday, work hard for next year. At the same time, have fun!!

ps; remember the gathering on the 31st dec! keep checking this space for more info yea!

XOXO,

Simone
