Dont say never ah...Kenneth Ong Kang Ying

played soccer with us last

Saturday!

Yes! 3-7 finally got pumped for failing classroom cleanliness check, i was wondering when it will get to our turn...No im not sadist(By the way this name has already been taken), i just find it no kicks and it gives me a good chuckle.

CIP today...people out there must have felt the same way that it was counter productive. She was boring, insulted our intelligence by reading off the slide and her voice was shrill, how i managed to sleep, i will never know. However, HOD took over and i learnt twice as much within the same period of time. At least as a HOD, she knows how to teach effectively.

SPA skills briefing was dry, but at least Mr Quay made it somehow interesting, he is actually quite a joker.

After school, went down to Dhoby Ghaut and ate at a mini Subway in SMU before going to 8Q SAM which was the old CHS Primary campus for Bi-Cultural thingy. Our "guide" was actually Ms Geraldine Cheang, former teacher of CHS, and well she tried her best to get us invovled and i must say she found the perfect job. Truth be told, when she asked us why was the full name of the place 8Q-Rate, i guessed it was a pun on the word 'Curate', i.e., Q-Rate, and since she said there were 8 artists so 8Q-Rate lor. It was just that i humji, so i didnt say lor. Oh yah, the exhibition was based on the theme of 'School', since the museum was on the old campus of a school.

So she gave us a talk and took us around for a tour, which really opened up my mind and allowed myself to think more critically. After which was some hands-on activity(YAY Kiddies back to Nursery!)

The artistic works:


phunk studio's From the Bottom of My Pencil Case. It is smaller than a normal room and it is sort of relieving memories of your younger schooling days in which everything seems bigger to you.


The outer walls are supposed to be vandalised by visitors with chalk and while some of us were doing so, the teachers warned us not to write vulgarities. Looking in, what does the sign remind you of? LOLS...


In My School Are Many Rooms by Jason Wee. Being made of the same material funeral effieges are made of, it represents hopes of a world created by the figment of our imaginations.


Specimens by Grace Tan. Rigidity in fabrics(Fashion), signifying the mundane and traditional curriculum we go through everyday.


Jahan Loh's Escape From School. I liked this best because it was spontaneous on the artist's side and it was simply mind boggling and symbolises his deepest wish to break free from the clutches of school. RANDOM IMAGES OF AN ALTERED STATE OF COUFUSION.


Me want to do this but have no balls to do so. Haiz...


Look at the perfectly symmetrical pottery, exquisite. I erased that guy because he is a 自私又贪小便宜的猴子, Chairman somemore...No wonder CMC CMI(Sorry Johnervan, Joel and Irwin! It is just that i had to get it out).


Comic panel like. No restrictions, me liek(Read last post to know what this word is)...

Last but not least, there was Donna Ong's The Caretaker. Dark, creepy and cold. It symbolises the neglection of the Unsung Heroes and the actual power they wield over us. Too bad i didnt take a picture of it.


Nursery classwork! Life was so relaxing and carefree back then...How i yearn for a slice of that life today...when we got the book, my first thought was to quickly cover the 'JOTTER BOOK', remember this and you will succeed in life...HUI YANG IS THE SEX !

Overall, this trip was enriching and insightful and it ROCKS! Go visit if you have the time, it is definitely worth it because it is on a topic close to our hearts.

Hui Yang is YOUR MAKER.
