Long time no entry.  Extremely busy recently......  However I must write an entry about Outward Bound. 

I went to Tai Mong Tsai for the Outward Bound.  The whole trip was generally tough.  Our groupmates include: Kong Wun Yiu, Suen Tat, Denise Luk, Ho Cheuk Him, Jasper Sung, Becky Tam, Oscar Fong, Chaky Ng, Wan Chi Hin, Teresa Lau and Chow Sung Man.  Instructor: Gary T.

On the first day, we all arrived at Tai Mong Tsai at ten.  We then had some briefing stuff.  Then we started to pack our things.  We packed lots of things but found out that most of them were useless.  Here are the things we packed: 

1 canopy, 4 tents (including the core and outer part), 3 sets of stove, many many cans and bread, 4 ground sheets, 4 packets of nails, 12 raincoats, 12x4L bottles of water and our own stuff.  I think my bag is over 50 pounds!!!  We then had lunch at the Outward Bound School. 

At 2 o'clock, we started our expedition.  The first day was not very tough.  Easy for me since I had experience in hiking.  We arrived at the camping site at about 6 o'clock.  We were on time!!!  We then built our tents and the canopy and started cooking.  Becky cooked for us.  We had rice with corn chicken.  It was extremely delicious.  I found out that Becky is a good chef.  Thanks Becky!!!  Before we slept, we did an 'election' and I became the leader of the next day. 

On the second day, we woke up at 6 and we had breakfast.  We just had bread with tuna.  We then packed our things.  Some of us just put the things on the floor and refused to pack.  As we were about to set off, I packed more to my bag.  My bag was even heavier than the first day.  At about 9, we started hiking.  It was not very tough in the morning. 

However, things went wrong in the afternoon.  At about 4, we followed the other team and chose the wrong route.  The route was a tough one.  Lots of plants were blocking the road.  We have to separate them and find a road to walk on.  At about 5, we finally found out that we got lost.  However, we didn't go back but we proceed. 

At about 6, we still didn't find the right route.  The instructor at last told us the way out and we finally got the right path.  We arrived at the camp site at 7.  We unpacked things and cooked.  We had rice with soya sauce chicken (with a lot of chicken essence) and another kind of chicken (forgot what that was).  Extremely delicious.  We went to bed very quickly after dinner. 

On the third day, we had instant noodles for breakfast.  We also had spicy diced pork.  We started our trip at 9:30.  Today's trip was really tough.  We had to go a long long way back to the coast and we were asked to arrived there at 4:30!!!  We were actually very exhausted because of the first two days.  We were late for 30 minutes. 

At the camp site, there were millions of mosquitoes.  They were extremely big and noisy.  I got about 20 bites there.  After setting our tents, our support truck arrived .  We had our life jackets and wet shoes.  Most importantly, the drinks we hid between the life jackets were still there.  We also got our dinner and breakfast which was made by OB.  After having dinner, we started to make a raft. 

We were given 4 long sticks, 4 short ones and 6 buckets.  After a long discussion, we started to make a raft like this.

   /ooo/      /ooo/

--/-------------/--

   /ooo/      /ooo/

When we started to tie the knots, we found out that no one knew how to.  After seeing the other teams, we started to make freestyle knots.  They were the combination of lots of knots.  They were strong and beautiful.  At last, we finished the raft at midnight and we called the raft "freestyle". 

Even though we finished the raft, we didn't go back to our tents to sleep.  We helped the other group to make the raft because they had to make the raft all over again.  Some of us even slept on the raft.  After we finished for a while, Anthony, the other group's instructor came out.  We asked him for advice.  He told us how to improve and he ruined our raft a bit.  He even ruined half of the raft in the other group.  We were very frustrated. 

The last day was the best day.......

.......To be continued......

A Busy Day

I was extremely busy today!!!!!!

8:30-10:00----Spanish Class

10:00-11:00----Badminton Class

11:45-12:45----English Tutorial Class

Three programmes in the morning!!!

I want to talk about Mr. Won, Ms. Chow and Ms Mak today. 

Physics: Mr. Won.  He is my class teacher.  He is as thin as Mr. Cheng.  He speaks softly but can be very loud suddenly.  He likes to give us sudden quizzes.  He is also extremely kind.  Today, He bought 34 popsicles for the class.  Hurray!!!!  One more thing, he likes to make GAGS. 

Biology: Ms Chow.  She is a good teacher.  However, she is teaching so quickly that I can't follow.  She is not strict but she can still control the order of the class.  Nothing special about her. 

Chemistry: Ms. Mak.  She teaches very well.  Her concept is very clear.  However, her pronunciations of some words are wrong.  Eg, aSiiiidic (acidic).  Also, she likes to use some special words.  Eg, different kind of species of chemicals.......  Anyways, she is a good teacher. 

I will talk about Ms. Lee, Joe Chan and Ms. Yau next time.  

It was ages since my last post......  As Andrew requested, I will write a post on my xanga. 

Time passed very quickly.  School has started for more than a month already.  Everything's going well and I get along well with my fellow classmates.  The worst thing is that my classroom is on the 7th floor.  I have to climb up and down everyday and today's gym lesson was terrible.  We had to go down from 7th floor to the basement!!!  We were late and was scolded by Mr. Ma. 

Anyways, I want to talk about my teachers:

Chinese: Mr. Teng.  He is a new knowledgeable chinese teacher.  He is very good at Chinese and he can even make excellent poems.  However, he is a bit inchy and humorous.  He said " Don't ever discriminate Chinese!"  when many of us didn't hand in our homework.  One more thing:  He is extremely skinny. 

English: Ms. Leung Kit Sum.  She is a good teacher.  Although she seems a bit cool, she is a friendly and caring teacher.  She won't scold us and she can always directly point out our mistakes.  I think my English will improve a lot this year because of her. 

Mathematics and Additional Mathematics: Mr. Cheng.  He is not very strict but a bit inchy.  Last week, I forgot to bring my book.  He inched me for 5 mins, telling me that we were old enough to take good care of ourselves and stuff......  One interesting thing about him is that he often makes mistakes.  He sometimes does Additions, Subtractions, Multiplication and Division wrongly.  However, he emphasized that we should not use our calculator.  We should throw it away.   We didn't throw it away because we won't want to make mistakes like him.  Haha!!!  He is a good teacher anyway. 

I will talk about the other teachers later. 

Wetland Park

I went to wet land park this Sunday.  It was really entertaining and I learnt a lot at the park.  The weather was not very bad.  The highest temperature was only 32 degree and there was a little rain that made me feel better.  I saw "Bei Bei" and the three other crocodiles.  Here are the photos taken there.  However, the quality is not very good...
