YAY!

Ok I forgot to write this in yesterday. Little Isaac Peter Ng! He was born two nights ago, 5th April, at 2325 hours. He's 3.35 kg and 51 cm long. Quite a big baby I think since I was 2. something and 46 cm long, haha. Congratulations to Ms Bong! Yay!!! I never had any other lesson like lit with Ms Bong! I was rather excited so I called everyone I could contact, including Elaine, Ass, Bea, Nat (whom I did not manage to contact), Joyce and Clarissa (who did not pick up my call). I told Eddy, Adora and Jac too and they were all elated to hear the joyous news. We'll probably pick something up and visit her in a few weeks when she recovers from her delivery and when little Isaac is stong enough to take visitors.

5 Taiwanese visitors came to our class today for a one-day immersion! They joined us for Lit lectures, PW and Chinese, of which Lit must have been the most disappointing for them, since all Mr. Wong could talk about was the 'dopplegonger' or the 'double' which must have been quite difficult to understand, since I doubt they have even heard of the book Frankenstein let alone read it. PW was cool cos Ms Lim gave us some time to like go through our names so that our Taiwanese friends would know us better. They were rather happy at Chinese though cos they knew one of the poems that Chen Laoshi was teaching, so they were like answering questions and participating. One of the girls told us that she thought Singaporeans were very warm in recieving them, since we had met them with a lot of enthusiasm, especially from the numerous Jay Chou (Ting Xuan), 5566(Weiqi and Weiying) and Zheng Yuan Chang (Weiying) fans who bugged them again and again.

I'm very happy! I got a form inviting me to join an interview for The Taiwanese Immersion programme, the one that JK spoke with a lot of enthusiasm about!! They give it to people with 'good results' so I thought I wouldn't get it, but they gave it to me so I guess it must be random. It's so exciting I really want to go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I get through the interview!!! If I get it it means that a Taiwanese student will come stay at my place in July-August and I go over in December! How cool is that??? And I can join their lessons and all which is so wonderful!

Another sad thing was MOE left me out for the LEP Scholarship Interview though, along with three other girls. I am supposed to get it, but somehow they left us out. I gave them a call and they're supposed to reply to me tomorrow.

Council QnA and voting tomorrow. I'm kinda excited about it, but not worried. It's like I'm kinda like hecking care it. If I get in, YAY, but if I don't, so be it, I can join some other cca, haha. I mean it has been a very good experience working with TingXuan and Weiqi, doing the lame WTH song and sandwich boards and I've learnt a lot about photoshop too. So I cross my fingers, and hope that I get more lame questions and not say something that is so lame everyone just stares at me and I stare back. Good Luck, WTH?!
