The second last day of school was still enjoyable. Leadership camp was quite fun, but only because of the activities. Monkey See Monkey Do was so epic, our class had "great" coordination. Nicholas got picked at least once in each game, wasting one chance of each zookeeper. And it was so simply because he was the one who called the shots even though he was never the Monkey King. Forfeits included singing Baby, Mass Push-ups and Choong Meng's own set of push ups.

Then there was another activity where we had to form a circle, be connected in some way (simplest way was hands) and move one full circle as a group and arrive back at our own seat. 2 circles of 19 each, the slower group was forced to do a forfeit. Well, my group was faster thanks to Kaiser's method of getting together as a smaller circle so that we could move faster. As such, the other group had to walk down the corridor of our floor shouting that our class rocked. It was really funny and some of our group even joined them.

Then we had yet another activity where we remained in our circles and the coach would shout out a number. If 1, we moved one step forward as a group maintaining our circular shape. If 2, we backtracked two steps. On 3, we all had to sit on the knees of the person behind us. The circle had to be small enough for the right amount of space between each person. Ming Xuan was behind me while I supported Alex, and San Zeng, that idiot, caused us to break formation by giving Ming Xuan a zap, who transferred the same action onto me. I'm incredibly vulnerable to that, so of course I was shocked. After the coach was satisfied, we had to do it as a whole class. This time, Jia Hui was in front of me while Ming Xuan remained behind me. At least Keng Wee was there to separate him and San Zeng now :D. Anyway, we were not quite successful, but the coach seemed ok with it. When she told us to reverse positions such that I now had to support Ming Xuan, we fell a total of 3 times.

There was one last activity, although that was after recess, which involved 6 to 7 people in a circles sitting down. Legs were stretched out to meet at the middle, and by holding on to each other, we had to get up into standing position at the same time as well as not bending our knees too much. We failed that, so the coach allowed us to get up one by one. After we were successful with that, we had to go up 2 people at the time. Then 4. After that, was the whole group. We managed to do it finally albeit shakily.

Recess was not as entertaining as yesterday as we got only 40 minutes and there was no one to talk to. My juniors.... all disappeared :(. Meanwhile, Darrin totally ignored Ming Xuan throughout the day and me as well, but he decided to stop that ridiculous attitude towards me at the end of the day.

Report Books came back today instead of tomorrow. 18/38, better than I expected as I felt that I really did badly this time round. Of course, that isn't satisfying either. And at 18th position, my average is 68.8. So those ahead of me are really those who qualify for this class. San Zeng beat me totally this time round. From following me by 0.1%, he is now ahead by 1.3%. Darrin and I currently have a 0.5 mark difference, while poor Ming Xuan fell to the back at 28. Not to say he's a weak student, he's just giving us chances for now :D. He definitely has the ability to do well, after being able to tell me every single thing I needed to know even though he doesn't look like he heard them either. He has a knack for knowing the essential stuff that I usually miss out, so he's the number 1 reliable person to look for whenever I am in need of information.

Training was not too bad, but I definitely did not play as well as I did on Sunday. Lost to Kai Xun 3 - 2, then to Yan Tian 3 - 1. When I asked for a rematch, I beat Kai Xun 3 - 0 and lost to Yan Tian 3 - 2 after that. And that's ALL I did that is worth mentioning, in 3 hours.
