we're 113'08 213'09.

take me to the sky;
welcome to 213'09's class blog♥

class mission:
to build a community of learners who have strong class spirit and develop ourselves to the fullest potential.

7:32 PM Okay you know what!!! SO FAR I HAVEN'T HAD ANY VERY SOLID COMPLAINTS AGAINST CLASS SHIRT EXCEPT THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A SQUID.

:} haha if people haven't seen it it's their problem! It's been up here for ages and we want our shirt don't we.

Anyway I just spent about 2 hours being wuliao and OCDly drawing out a slightly revised and much neater version on my tablet! ^^

HERE IT IS DAHS.

Haha as you can tell I changed the swirls to very complicated cloud-things -.- Painfully drawn in I hope you can tell!!!

oh and i think colours will be red(fire, swirls, rocket top excluding head/ sides, "2 1 3"), yellow (stars, beak/feet of rocket, swirls) and white (swirls, window/ head of rocket, wing, dots between "213"). shirt will be grey, preferably the meshy type with lots of different shades of grey pulled together. and ho crap black for outlines :/

YUP OBAMA HOW DOES ONE OBTAIN FORMS?

I'm going to at least show everybody the image, but now not likely to accept much changes alr because seriously it's your issue if you don't check the class blog for updates.

Hahahaa we will try to get our shirt SUPER EARLY and laugh at everyone else who isn't done yet! :} or even started. AND then you can all wear it for your cca march camps! WHEE!!!

sorry y'all I'm super high from OM spontaneous training today haha!!

COMMENTS PLEASE, I REALLY WANT IT TO BE APPROVED :D not just by teacher etc but by YOU!!! YES YOU!!!!!!!

oh and the back will say


,most likely. :D!

...or maybe


but haha I think the first one sounds better.

hm colour might be black to keep it simple? or you can have something silly like lime green too.

YUP OKAY I LOVE YOU ALL EVEN IF I DON'T LIKE YOU!

did that make sense MAYBE NOT byebye!!!!

LOVELETI

2. For the lockers, it'll be arranged according to register number. If you need to swap lockers for valid reasons, e.g. you are vertically challenged and you can't reach your locker which happens to be at the top (although I don't think the lockers are THAT high), inform Qinrong - I'll pass the form to her. If your locker is spoilt for some reason, tell Qinrong too.

ESTHER LOVES LETI xD

12:36 AM HELLO ALL.

Happy Chinese New Year :D

As I was sitting around, ... stoning, I SUDDENLY HAD INSPIRATION.

You know that this year our theme is 2...1...3... TAKE OFF!, contributed by Mich, yes?

BRILLIANT IT IS, because it incorporates both our current class and a sense of relation to the previous theme.

Anyway, we all want a class shirt as soon as possible, don't we. Don't wanna end up as 111'08 -.- If you'll remember 304'08 did theirs REALLY fast. I want us to have ours really soon too!

That said, I came up with a design. :D

I scanned it in lousily but basically you can see it's cool swirlies and a penguin rocket and with "2.1.3. take off." and stuff. The back will be FLY, {yournamehere}, FLY. and a heartshape.

If maybe you'd want a shirt with everyone's name on it, I ask you to refer to 113'08's shirt. I'm trying for variation - a different theme, this year, so you can have VARIETY within one class's shirts. (:

Anyway, here it is :
{edit : Apparently I.E. cannot click on the picture. Go to https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibNgC8Jk3iSNm0Jv3iyOmy1oF5RXiWXSZu21CArW0fbQ111OWXiMCvm7NVOxinvXCJDbeun-K-5z5MYyZfgHnMlTDbreT7jzULokRHL8q2nTBdsmJFOxpuYC05FKh1g2AA3S9CMUju2DxJ/s1600-h/classshirt09_1.jpg to see it at max :D Copy and paste the URL. Or, uh, click here.}

Yup ahh I think it's quite nice actually hehe :X but that's just me! And I have a tablet so I can easily make it nice and perfect-looking on the comp.

DO YOU LIKE IT? :D If you have any suggestions for improvement please tell me and I'll try to take that into account!

Oh and it will be GREY with either purple, green or blue stuff on it. Or maybe in a bit more colour. I dunno! But no pink. 212'08 did pink on grey. :/

(:

Obama, can you help me with some of the adminny stuff. x)

LOVE, JOE.

{EDIT}

I got not-so-constructive feedback that the Fly, {namehere}, Fly ♥ was "corny/cheesy", but no suggestion for what could replace it.

That said, I used my own brilliant mind (Because the person who suggested it only knew how to criticize, lolz).

Maybe you would like something more crack. Like

2...1...3... ____ BOOOMZZ!!!!

or

_____ is flaiyin' awae from u.

or

_____ IS A ROCKET PENGUIN.

or

YOU ARE FOLLOWING AGENT _______.

Suggestions, please, or would you rather stay with the original. {/Edit}

And if you're free after school, can some of you stay back to help clean up the class? Like, wipe tables, sweep the floor, make sure there are no crumbs, etc. The more people who stay back, the faster the job will be done.

7:16 PM hey guys,
just a quick note: if you are unhappy with your post in the ACP thing, please come to see joejoe / obamama / me personally. and unless you really have valid proof (e.g. you burnt up the stove in the last aesthetics lesson), "i can't cook" is not a valid reason for switching. the whole point of ACP is for us to use what we learnt in aesthetics, so yeah.

if you're a leader of any of the teams, i.e. if your name is Jiale / Dawne / Evan / Qinrong / Joel Woo, you can change your post, but only under really valid reasons (i.e. you have SYF or whatever in November). yeah.

<3 palin.

5:53 PM hey i've uploaded our class deco discussions on twothirteenohnine yahoogroups but i'm not sure if everyone has signed into their email in the past century and accepted the invite. so i saved it as a draft here [though the coding's kinda screwed, sorry]. yeah so just check it out if you wanna confirm your groupings and assignments.

yepps, please pass it to cass, who has the big brown envelop (right?).

<3 xiaohan!

6:08 PM Hello class :D

I think we should DECIDE ON A CLASS CHAIR NOW so we can vote with less hassle!

I say Sandra, because we all know her speech was amazing and as long as she POSTS HOMEWORK ON THE CLASS BLOG (:D) then she will be safe and sound yes!

Agree with me plz T_T

And I know this is going to sound REALLY EGOISTICAL but:

I think Leen and I should pretty much manage the arts fest thing. It's an, I stress, arts fest. And, errrr, we aren't 2/3 of the sec1 richard c_reativea_rtsd_irectors for nothing, yo.

There are many people who would be more capable in the other things though. Like the photog people. They can take classy photoggy things.

And Dawnedawne and all our funny dancer people oh I love you - you can do dancey things! As in like hip hop or whatever kind of dance, not like ballet kinda dance (that would be Weird sryz).

So yeah! We might as well set up management and whatever for it like NOW and figure out whatever who will (!! ALLITERATION) do and stuff so we have the whooooole year to do it.

Or most of the year.

Maximise time yo, maximise time.

Okay errrr by the way was anyone paying attention during PE/CCA talks? WAS THERE ANYTHING REALLY IMPORTANT? NO RIGHT? As in I was listening but nothing really stood out.

Alright all! GO RICHARD!!! Remember to uh consider who you want as your reps, and EXCO, and we all know that our last year EXCO did a good job but consider rotation of roles? - ('cept I still think Sandra should be chair because well. duh.) to allow other people to do different things and such and such. Chances people, chancesssssss.

Yes once again GO RICHARD! We all loved Mich's _{completelyscriptedreadoutstraightcarboncopy} speech, didn't we?

BEING VERY EXTRA INDEED,

leti!

4:40 PM Happy New Year everyone!

Hahaha, haven't used blogger for so long liao, cuz I moved to WORDPRESS!

www.amberesque.wordpress.com. maybe i shouldnt put this on class blog ahha.

Okay just a really short notice.

I'm your class PIT for 2009! This is for the whole class: please do come in proper attire tomorrow, you don't want to be booked on the first day of school. And it doesn't just apply to tomorrow either, but for the next 3 years in rgs. Another thing! WE DONT WANT TO GO FOR ANYMORE CLASS DC so please make sure to switch off lights/fans/aircon when y'all go out, and keep the classroom clean.

Yepps, come in your pinafore+blouse, I don't think y'all have to bring text books.

Assembly tomorrow will be at Amphitheatre (Dry Weather) or Hall (Wet Weather), and you guys will be assembling at D Blk Level One, next to the needle work rooms.

All the best for 2009, and make sure you choose your Class Chair properly hor -.-"

<3 xiaohan!
