For the first half of the day, our class went via school bus to an open field next to Jurong East MRT Station for the launch of a project by the Southwest Community Development Council (SWCDC) called Youth Excellence Award in the Heartlands (YEAH!). Our work was in a tent with many booths, where the Charity Fiesta will be taking place. We were supposed to be helping out at the booths, selling the items. Kegan, Fang You and I ended up at the main stage tent, where we helped out with administrative matters at the registration counter.

Today's programme included an attempt to break the world record for the world's longest human bridge. Over 4000 students from many schools in the district formed the human bridge that spelt "YEAH" when seen from the sky. Nicholas, a student from Boon Lay Secondary (if I didn't remember wrongly), was to run through the human bridge holding a key to the YEAH! e-portal, which was to be handed to him by the Guest-of-Honour, Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Acting Minister for Education. A rehearsal happened before Mr. Tharman arrived and the real record breaking followed.

After the three of us were done with our business at the main stage tent (each getting a T-shirt for the work), we returned to the Charity Fiesta where our classmates were busy promoting their booths and getting people to buy the items. I was especially intrigued by a Braille typer, who was typing Braille on bookmarks for buyers. We returned to school at around noon.

We received the rest of our test results in the afternoon. My marks are as follows:

English: 71.6/100 (A2)
Chinese: 55.8/100 (C5)
Maths: 90.5/100 (A1)
A. Maths: 92/100 (A1)
Physics: 54.5/100 (C6) (I heard 7 marks will be added across the board.)
Chemistry: 76/100 (A1)
Biology: 75/100 (A1)
Combined Humanities: 76/100 (A1) (Social Studies: 37/100; Elective Geography: 39/100)

That makes my L1R5 for this exam along 7. I'm feeling relieved that at least I had gotten A1s for most of my subjects. Perhaps the most improved subject had got to be Combined Humanities. Half a year ago I was getting C5 or C6 for it. Thanks to Mrs Chan and Ms Ang, I could get these marks.

The next thing to worry about would be the O Level Chinese Examination on November 7. The Mother Tongue Department has drawn up revision schedules for us. Bet the Sec 3s last year had gone through the same.
