An overall reflection on my internship at a publishing firm in Singapore.<br />
<br />
It was great. A lot of sitting around, browsing the interwebs on my part. Probably because they didn't think I had the ability or skill to do other things. But that's okay, I too would question it if I were put in their shoes.<br />
<br />
I went to quite a few photo shoots, or otherwise, collected clothes for many photo shoots. What I take out from collecting clothes, is probably that I am just a little bit tanner, a little bit stronger, and I roughly know the offices of expensive brands in Singapore (e.g. Dior, which by the way, has the most chic, Instagram-worthy front desk area). Speaking of Dior, we went to drop off and collect clothes from them maybe about four times in one month. Same receptionist every time. But every time she still asks, "Which magazine?", and of course, there must be lots of people who go in and out every day, let alone within a month, but I judge her a little inside because we are the same two people, and really nothing has changed besides our clothes.<br />
<br />
I was mostly with another intern, and we were assistant stylists for the stylist. Being an assistant stylist is NOT, I repeat, NOT about actually choosing clothes for models to wear, which is what I had thought in the beginning. No. The stylist chooses the clothes. We collect the clothes, steam the clothes so that there are no creases, help the models into the clothes, clip and straighten the clothes so that it fits nicely and looks clean. In this particular context, more hard work than the stylist? Yes.<br />
<br />
In the beginning, I wanted to do this internship because it was work experience and working at a magazine is a future occupation that I would like to pursue. Naturally, I was excited for this internship. I didn't learn very much about the writing aspects, but I learnt a lot about photo shoots and stylists.<br />
<br />
Winter clothing is always shot in the summer, and summer clothing in the winter. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it, but it never really crosses your mind. But since Singapore is summer every day, it's hot regardless.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day, magazines are part of the media. Makeup, photoshopping and touching up photos to make them look perfectly realistic. A lot of the time, people say that it's "society and the media" that makes up these standards of beauty. But people often forget that we are society, and we are the ones making these standards. It's a never-ending cycle.<br />
<br />
Another thing I learnt, is that a good photo comes from the photography, the modelling, the makeup/hair, and the styling. No part is bigger than the other, because they are all equally important for a good photo.<br />
<br />
No job is easy. Unless you literally have no job, then that's not applicable. But never underestimate the complexity of it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-89513891006190267142014-04-27T07:35:00.002-07:002014-04-27T07:35:18.642-07:00Shakespeare In The Port- Day 3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I brought a book to read while being a statue. But I have to admit that I wasn't that great of a statue today. I was feeling extremely dizzy today, especially when standing up so I had to keep moving and sitting.<br />
<br />
My hair was also quite a mess today. It wasn't like last week, where my hair was in a side part. It was middle parted today. And no, it didn't look so good. And my wig felt like it was going to fall off any minute.<br />
<br />
I kept moving especially while reading. I had to flip the pages. Except I finished the book even before I reached half an hour. A shame. And I was reading a book called Plague, which was definitely not suited to Viola... Nonetheless, it was something to do.<br />
<br />
Tomorrows goal, since it is my last day, is to definitely move less. Even the little movements. Tomorrow I'm going to be prop-less, well besides a starfish. So focus is necessary. I usually focus on one spot and just stare it and try not to let my eyes go woozy. Don't know what other word to use. I feel like my eyesight is getting worse (short-sighted), so I tell myself that by looking at something far away, I'll become less short-sighted. So far to no avail, but I'm just going to go with it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-43687164434912729712014-04-26T22:50:00.002-07:002014-04-26T22:50:10.118-07:00Shakespeare In The Port- Day 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I was Viola from Twelfth Night. From reading Shakespeare's books, (i've read Twelfth Night) I honestly did not think that these characters would be, these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Personally I like this outfit and wig better than the last. Still doesn't look too great, again with the Asians and white body paint, but we'll go with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This skirt is so tight. I have to pull it up hip by hip, same with taking it off. After I get it on it's fine, but the process is just not so fun. It's also quite restricting for leg movement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the first day, we realised that we didn't need that much face paint because it took absolutely ages to take off. Baby oil, face wipes, soap, tissue, didn't even cut it. There was excessive rubbing involved.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also decided to buy my own baby oil to use. Helps a lot. Even after taking it off, my skin feels vey icky. Again, perseverance until my nice, warm shower at home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wasn't sure how to portray Viola, but because she has a male side, I tried to do an in between of feminine and masculine. Not sure if it worked, but no one complained of criticised so I assume it was alright. I have been sitting a lot though. I get tired easily. Still trying to stand more.</div>

<br />
This was the first day and I honestly didn't know what to expect. I was Miranda from The Tempest and all I really knew about her was that she was a mermaid. This was also my first time ever being a living statue, and my impression of a living statue was one of those statues in Times Square in NYC.<br />
<br />
I got there, changed into that outfit, and they started to paint my visible body parts white. I generally do not like face paint or sunscreen. This felt like super thick and sticky sunscreen/face paint and it was not nice but i persevered. I also realised that Asians and white face/body paint just don't mix very well.<br />
<br />
The obvious technique to tackle the stillness and patience is to sit. And that is what I did. I was sitting for 95% of the time and it was great. It was quite relaxing actually. I only stood when my body started to get a bit numb. The cubes weren't exactly very comfortable.<br />
<br />
One of the other living statues brought a book so that was her prop, and she was just reading it the whole time. Very smart.<br />
<br />
Definitely could do with less moving. But it's honestly not very comfortable. We'll see what tomorrow brings.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-61392216140058458472014-02-18T03:39:00.002-08:002014-02-18T03:39:46.142-08:00Startune- First<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
First time at Startune and an interesting experience.<br />
I say interesting because kids are quite meh to me. We drew things and folded things.<br />
There was a lot of action happening, especially because we had so many boys. At one point we made paper guns and a war literally broke out. They wouldn't sit down or be quiet and it was hard to get them to focus. They hardly listened to our commands as well. I make them sound like animals but at that age, and those boys in particular, they were like animals. The girls were okay though, they didn't talk much but they cooperated well.<br />
It really confuses me how girls and boys at the same age can act so differently. Actually that still applies to my age group now. Do girls mature faster?<br />
<br />
Another reason why it was interesting-<br />
They really were just normal kids. You don't see them as kids from low income mainland Chinese families, in fact they all speak perfect cantonese. I've realised that mainland Chinese families/people who come to Hong Kong always make cantonese their kids' first language.<br />
<br />
I'd say that it was fun overall for a first time. They all did what they were told (sort of). But there's always that one kid that tries to be the smarty poopy and be like I KNOW EVERYTHING. This said kid is the one I am talking to in the video.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last day of skiing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really going to miss it. It's been an amazing five days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather was absolutely beautiful today. At the bottom it was foggy, but on top, blue, blue skies and a bit of snow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did a race today! I got second in our beginner group. Apparently I was meant to have gotten first because the other girl cheated. Oh well, not that I really mind. It was fun and I'm happy with my time! 34.04- it was an obstacle course thing. I don't know what to call it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fell once only today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got up in two seconds so it's okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quite a chill day today. Still fun though! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some beautiful views and whatnot. More skiing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did more parallel stops today. Can sort of do it now, if that counts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Goodbye skiing!<br />
Final bruise count: ~7<br />

<span lang="EN-US">We skied for three hours today. Went up to the mountain again, fell
twice in the first couple of minutes. Ha ha. After that I didn’t fall though
which is great. I think I have more control now. Still no control, but more
control. I hope I’m getting better. I feel like I am getting better, but slowly.
Sadly tomorrow is the last day skiing! Benny has been a really good instructor
though, he’s so patient and leads us through everything and gives us good
advice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">After skiing we took a one hour bus ride to a biathlon place. Not
sure what it’s called. There were special skis- very thin and light and poles
that were sharp at the bottom. It’s easier to move with those skis compared to
normal skis, but you are more prone to falling. This was cross country skiing I
think. We had to go up and down hill as well which was not very good. My first
uphill went crazy. I kept slipping because I couldn’t get my skis into the
right position. I got it in the end though. The key is to dig the insides into
the snow and walk up in reverse snowblau. Going down though, I could not go
down without falling at the end. I did it twice, both times I fell. He said
lean forward, so I did! Still nope.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

rifles and they taught us how to get down with the skis on. First time I did
it, I got 4/5 targets, seconds time 5/5 targets. Not bad I think for a first
time! It was easier than I thought it was going to be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">We had a race at the end. Five people in a group. We went one lap
around and then got down to shoot. If you missed a shot you had to do a penalty
round. Again, got 5/5 targets!

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">Went up to the top of the mountain today. Wasnt as bad as i thought. It was sunny and foggy at first, then it just became extremelt foggy and heavy snow with no sun. I still cant do the stopping woth parallel skis, and i cant really control my speed very well, therefore i fall. I also keep leaning backwards. I dont know how to lean forwards!! Its so hard and it just makes me go even faster. And so my thighs burn every day. I think im going to go behind Benny more, i just copy whatever he does and i somehow have more control. Tomorrow we're going skiing and biathaloning!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Joined the beginners
for real today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; text-align: center; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">I actually had a lot
of fun today! We went at a nice pace, anything we weren’t too good at, Benny
would explain to us. We did little exercises that helped us in full-on skiing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; text-align: center; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Towards the end we
started to go properly fast. I loved it! I fell twice but it was okay because I
got up in about ten seconds. Years ago when I used to go skiing with my
parents, I was known for going really fast and going in a straight line. Not
sure where that has gone, but slopes in Asia are probably not as intense as
they are here. I really am not sure, it’s been a while.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; text-align: center; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Quite proud that I
can turn parallel-y now and drift. Pretty cool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; text-align: center; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">I wish I could do
stuff on my own though, then maybe I’d be able to explore and see what level
I’m really at.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="margin-left: 0cm; text-align: center; text-indent: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US">Nonetheless, today
was so SO much better than yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpFirst" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpFirst" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">Extremely horrible first day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">I signed up for the intermediate because I thought, well okay if I
did it five years ago maybe I can do it now. Haha no.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">Literally went straight onto the slopes and I just could not keep
up. I mean I don’t even remember techniques and things, there was no warm up!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">The number of times I lost control on that first slope is
uncountable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">I decided that it was too much for me, so I joined the beginner
group. They didn’t do much, so I asked if I could do my own thing, so I did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">Went on a little slope a few times to try to familiarize myself
again. After lunch I went back with the intermediates, again, I died. This time
we went to the top of the mountain which was meant to be ‘the same difficulty’.
It so was not. The fog and snow and everything just makes it so much less happy
and sunny. Which is what it is like at the bottom. Which is what I like.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoteLevel1CxSpMiddle" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US">Again, the number of times I fell is uncountable. The rest of the
group behind me were pretty mad because I was going quite slow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

My team was GSIS A and we placed 18th overall. Not bad I think, compared to last place last year!<br />
My goal (our goal) this year was to not get last. And we didn't!<br />
<br />
I was team leader for the GSIS A team and Elaina was team leader for the B team. When signing up for this I had no idea that I had to run as well, being team leader. When I found out, which was a couple of weeks after getting the team leader position, no doubt I was shocked and in horror. Fit? Not me. Elaina and I went to several meetings held by the core directors of the race- mostly for getting our runners together and fundraising issues. That is still not over and fundraised money is due early December! I hope my runners have raised enough money.. Our target this year for each runner was $1875 because last year our school raise $5000 (i don't mean to be mean but last year's team leader, whoever it was, was no use at all). I myself have raised $3000 which I am quite happy about.<br />
<br />
For preparation, I planned about five training days where we would go to the peak and run. People who said they would come, didn't, so that was a bit disappointing. In the end we had about four trainings, all in which I ran one lap. Haha. I am such a fittie. So lazy, much lazy, very lazy.<br />
<br />
I decided that the most effective way to run the race was to have everyone run one lap each. This worked quite well, and we got quite a bit of rest in between. This race really needed a lot of team work and I am glad to say that I definitely saw that in the 24 hour span! When someone couldn't run due to injuries/was too tired to run, someone else would take over and run their lap willingly, and that really made me smile. I was not the one who ran other people's laps, apologies, I would have walked the whole thing since I already had trouble doing one round. I ran a total of 6 laps (19.2km), or well, I walked half of it, pretty much. But I still did it didn't I? This race challenged my fitness (almost?) to the limit. I have never in my life ran/walked 19.2km in 24 hours. My goal was actually to run 10 laps, but clearly I was too ambitious.<br />
<br />
As team leaders we were specifically told at the meetings what cause we were running and fundraising for, what charity it was going to etc. Emails were sent out to runners about all this information of course, but I bet 80% of the people didn't read it or read the first paragraph. The core directors did give us the chance of getting the owners of the charity to come to our school to talk, but we couldn't find a time. I think that they could have promoted it a lot more, especially during the race. As for me though, I learnt a substantial amount about human trafficking and its prevalence in Nepal. I also just came back from a school trip to Nepal which is why during and after my trip, I kept thinking about the issue and observing the place, just thinking about how and where people would do this. Nepal is a wonderful place for tourists though. No human being should be sold or bought to be slaves of any kind. I wish our world was fairer but that's a big thing to wish for so all I can wish for is change.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-47685451894030585952013-11-20T00:07:00.001-08:002013-11-20T00:08:36.650-08:00Toy Poodle and Grandma Days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In a lot of these photos is a toy poodle named Tricks. This doggie and the other poodle (Treats) were new doggies at HKDR. I was saying to my mom that Tricks would be adopted within that week, and I was right, he was adopted in two days. He's so cute (i thought he was a girl at first) and he's 3! He's very dominant and marks his territory everywhere. I find touching dogs after they wee a bit weird because they're crotchy areas are wet. I'm probably just not used to dogs. But I carry them anyway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other doggie Treats was also adopted in that week. Not sure if Treats was a boy or a girl (let's pretend its a he) but he was always super happy and running everywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another doggie was called Plum and is the cutest grandma ever. She wouldn't walk so I had to carry her to the dog park. I'm not sure exactly how old she is but she's quite old. She just got fostered! She'll let you carry her and just do whatever with her. At the dog park she just strolled around and waddled, such a cutie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The highlight of my visit to HKDR was definitely Tricks and Plum. Both so cute!! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom is now also a volunteer at HKDR and she loves going there. She loves dogs. She is so in love with Peach and desperately wants to bring her home but we can't because we have two cats and most of the time no one is at home! She's going to be really sad if Peach gets adopted. I don't know. We really can't have her :(</div>

This was my week in Nepal!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most days we spent at Katja House which is a children's home quite far from where we stayed (Kathmandu Guest House). We actually only had about one hour a day with the kids which was a pity because they are so much fun. Honestly the whole trip overall was quite boring because we spent a lot of the time not doing anything. But when we were doing something, eating, cooking, playing with the kids, that was very enjoyable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My goals for this trip were: to teach the kids chinese, use the blender, make smoothies/milkshakes, and cook Chinese food. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I really did this trip: play with the kids and cook for everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't mind much. I spent the majority of my time cooking with Donald my assistant hurrhurr. I'm not actually a very experienced cook, although there was one summer I cooked quite a bit. I think I'd call myself an amateur cook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On one of the first days we helped the cooks at Katja House to cook which is the yellow looking chicken above. It's chicken with lots of spices and was GOOD. What was better was the veggie mix, also flavoured with spices. Nepal is quite similar to India, i've noticed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the last day I guess I was a bit too ambitious while planning. I was going to cook fried rice, curry and lemon chicken, but ended up only cooking Singapore curry and lemon chicken. I didn't know how many people we were cooking for while planning that's why it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The curry was alright, a bit diluted though. It was from a packet and I might have added a bit too much water. The lemon chicken was just bad. I am not entirely sure what went wrong. We cooked I think 3kg of chicken? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First you're meant to coat the chicken in corn flour and we did that! I feel like the problem was in the corn flour but again, I am not entirely sure. So I coated all the chicken quite generously with corn flour and started frying it bit by bit. I added the lemon sauce after I thought the chicken was cooked and I was waiting for the chicken to cook and become like a golden brown but it just wouldn't go brown!!! I waited for quite a while and it didn't go brown so I just added the lemon sauce. ANYWAYS it was just not good and I could tell that people didn't like it either because lots of it was in the trash. It's okay, I don't blame you. I threw mine away too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't actually get to do anything I planned on doing because, like I said, I spent most of my time cooking. Also, the kids really just want to play. They are all so cute and have such personalities (in a good way). On the last day I played with this one girl a lot. The girl in the last two photos. She didn't speak English but she kept trying to talk to me so I'd just pretend to understand and nod my head and she'd be content with that so I'm guessing it was nothing that important. She had so many facial expressions it was actually so hilarious and fun to watch. Everyone else had a camera to play with and she really wanted one as well but no one would lend it to her and her face the whole time was literally :(. In the end she got one and was ecstatic and started taking photos of me nonstop. I told her where to press to take a photo and she got it, but every time she took her finger away from the button, she didn't know where to press to take a photo and I had to keep telling her. When she didn't know, she'd come to me and I'd point it out to her and she'd say, "Here?" and then continue to take photos. She was so cute!!!</div>

This post was a bit long. I did enjoy Nepal to a certain extent. The sightseeing was a bit repetitive though. All the sights we saw were quite similar, not that I really expected them to be different, but still not that interesting. My favourite part was definitely the fact that everything was so cheap. I miss my sizzling brownie. Maybe one day I'll go back to Nepal for trekking!</div>

This is the dog my mom fell in love with. Her name is Peach and she's such a sweetheart! We looked her up on the HKDR Facebook page afterwards and the before and after photo is :O. But she is so loving and sweet. Sadly we can't bring her home because dogs are just generally harder to look after if you don't have a helper and a lot of time.</div>

The last photo is the dog I walked. Not sure what his name is but he's a cutie too. Apparently he's socially awkward/shy which is why he stayed under the bench most of the time. He's fluffy and always panting but look at him, he's so cute!<br />
<br />
When the doggies are happy, I feel happy. Except I accidentally dropped a dog at one point and it ran away crying. That was painful for both me and the doggie. I didn't mean to though! I have cats and cats are very acrobatic so when and if I drop them they reach the floor on their feet. So I was holding this dog and it wanted to get off so I was about to put it down but it pushed off my leg and I, subconsciously feeling that it was a cat, let go of it, and it actually turned midair and landed on its back and it cried and ran away. That was sad.<br />
<br />
Here's the second dog sob story. I am apparently just not very lucky with dogs? We were going back to the HKDR hq and the place is not very big. So we pushed the door open and let the dogs in, and while I was trying to close the door (the door space is probably 20cm?), one of the dog's foot got caught under the door and we got it out but it cried and then it was limping and I was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And everyone was secretly blaming me but ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!<br />
<br />
That's it anyways. I still like doggies.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-14107214885192244852013-10-01T19:41:00.002-07:002013-10-01T19:41:27.084-07:00End of Kickboxing/Basketball 2&3I had my last kickboxing class last week, and really I was the only one who went for all four classes. When I signed up, the sheet actually said 16+, but I sort of just looked past that. I realised when I actually went for the classes that when they said 16+, they literally meant anyone above the age of 16. Which was fine by me though, it just meant that I appeared to be doing better because everyone else was, not so good/fit/flexible (to be honest I'm not even that flexible or fit or good).<br />
<br />
I was especially tired that day, not sure why, but I felt really weak. It affected my performance, obviously, and quite a few times I felt like I was going to collapse, but I pushed on!<br />
<br />
I think my favourite 'moves' would be doing combos. It was, as the name suggests, combinations of what we learnt. Jabs, upper cuts, hooks, kicks etc. The only reason I liked it was because I got to work pretty much my whole body, arms and legs in particular. Mind you, these combos included occasional squats, lunges, and a whole lot of moving around. A lot harder than you think.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what actually motivated me to push on, maybe it was the music, or the strive to do well and actually improve my stamina and body strength. My arm strength=0. I don't think I will be doing kickboxing classes here again though. I actually expected to be kicking and punching proper punching bags buuuuut nope. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, but I didn't super enjoy it either. Ya feel me?<br />
<br />
<br />
Not sure why I put by kickboxing reflection first, because I actually have basketball before I have kickboxing.<br />
<br />
Basketball is not as tiring now! Thankfully, otherwise I would have actually collapsed last week. I was good last week! Good with my shooting I mean. I got a couple of goals, but that was it.. Better than usual which I'm proud of! I still have to learn to use my height more though. I'm usually in the middle, but really it doesn't make much of a difference for me because I just can't jump very high and I'm pathetic.<br />
<br />
I do hope I continue to improve though, we have a basketball match against WIS next tuesday and the last time we played them we died miserably. I doubt the coming match will be any different.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-27170570341376358212013-09-10T08:54:00.002-07:002013-09-10T08:54:18.564-07:00Kickboxing 2/Basketball 1The A grades and B grades basketball have mixed, not that I mind.<br />
It does mean that we have two coaches now, sort of. Honestly I like Mr Lewis more.<br />
First day of basketball and it is honestly one of the most intense sessions of basketball I've ever had. I'm really not as fit as you'd think I am.<br />
Intense dribbling and running. Lack of water.<br />
My stamina= 1, aka I am unfit.<br />
My memory might as well be the size of a tennis ball because I remember nothing.<br />
But we did play a game, and I scored once/twice? Several times I attempted to shoot and closely missed... Definitely something I need and want to improve on.<br />
I didn't get tired as much as when we were doing warmups though, I feel like that's always the case.<br />
Mr Lewis likes to pick on me because I was late to a basketball game once... :(<br />
<br />
I was late to kickboxing because I had to pick something up in Central.<br />
But nonetheless, it was tiring.<br />
Learnt some new kicks! Side kicks....... and other kicks, you know.<br />
The first lesson last week we had about 6-8 people? Today we had four. I guess some people just find it too hard?<br />
The thing that gets you working the most, is the fact that you hardly ever get to stop and rest. It is continuous and there is a lot of up and down movement, so that really works your legs.<br />
I also found out that arm rolling<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.medialapproach.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/arm-rolling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="554" src="http://www.medialapproach.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/arm-rolling.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
by arm rolling I mean this. Arm rolling is actually very tiring for your arms, especially forearm.<br />
<br />
Let's see how much muscle pain I will get in the next two days. Hopefully not crippling.<br />
That's it for now.. Yes I am doing basketball and kickboxing both on the same day, but only for three more weeks. After that I'll change the times of my kickboxing maybe and so I won't have to die twice every Tuesday.<br />

Seriously though my weekends are so full of work. Last night I went out for dinner and I brought my computer with me. Today I was out from morning to evening and I brought my computer with me again. Wherever I get to stop and work, I stop and work. #iblyfe<br />
<br />
This is going to be a quick post though because I have not showered.<br />
This week was pretty average, nothing special. I did make lots of microwave buns though.<br />
Went to a KCL presentation on Wednesday though and they seem pretty good!<br />
38 is the IB requirement for law, and they also have a LLB course that is 2 years in KCL and 3 years in HKU!<br />
<br />
One thing that I was a bit unsure about was a letter we had to write for English lit lang.<br />
It's meant to be a response to a text called 'Language as a Prison' but I just don't know how to phrase is properly according to guidelines and everything.<br />
But it's okay I'll try to figure something out.<br />
<br />
Last thing about CAS.<br />
Every year there's a 24 Hour Race/Running to Stop the Traffik which is basically a relay-style race that is to raise awareness and money for human trafficking. So I got chosen to be team leader this year! I went to my first meeting on Saturday and nothing much going on yet, I just need to have a running team by start of october. And lucky me, I posted on our school Facebook page yesterday, and I already have quite a few people, I just need one more girl.<br />
I hope that this doesn't get disapproved because of our new charity system at school though.<br />
<br />
Anyways, that's it for now, time to shower and sleep.<br />

I actually found out about these classes through google. I just googled 'hong kong youth sports' and ta da! This kickboxing class I'm taking is not only 'youth' though, it's 16+ but I don't mind.<br />
<br />
The class is 7.30-8.30 which is a bit late but not too late I guess.<br />
There are about six people in my class, including myself.<br />
We started off with some warm ups and honestly it wasn't even super intense and hard warm ups, it was jogging, squats, more jogging, but I was already so tired after.<br />
<br />
After the warm ups we did the proper moves!<br />
I don't remember the proper terms at all, so lets just say we did lots of punching, down to up punching, left to right punching etc. (terminology is not my forte, especially in a cantonese speaking class)<br />
We also did lots of kicks and different sorts of stepping and things like that.<br />
To sum it up, my front thighs are aching, my triceps aching, but not too much, and just overall fatigue.<br />
(my thighs though.. crazy..)<br />
<br />
After class I asked my instructor for her details but forgot to get her email so I still can't add kickboxing as a CAS activity on ManageBac..<br />
<br />
That's it for now, week 3 review coming soon!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-83967312459302865612013-09-01T06:15:00.001-07:002013-09-01T06:15:39.449-07:00Week 2Week three starts tomorrow but I might as well not miss out on a week.<br />
Let's see.. Week two...<br />
I'd say, to sum it up,<br />
WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK<br />
You think I'm kidding but I'm not.<br />
And to think that it's only the second week, oh IB.<br />
<br />
Let's talk about Chinese (not sex).<br />
So I'm taking HL Chinese B, and I'm the only one in my class taking HL but I think the difference is that I have books and things to read.<br />
Most lessons I have are SL, and I can tell you that this was definitely not what I expected. It is so intense and difficult (that vocabulary, seriously) that you really have to fully concentrate in class or else you'll miss some important point and be like oh shit later.<br />
For HL my teacher just photocopied this book of short stories and was like HERE READ IT, BUT TAKE YOUR TIME OKAY. And I was like OKAY. I haven't started reading it but when I do, I will definitely post about how much fun I'm having xoxo<br />
<br />
Math.<br />
Math studies is easy. Full stop.<br />
<br />
I won't say I like History but I don't hate it either. But the one thing that is getting me through is my personal tutor (aka dono), repeating things twice and explaining everything in detail. Thanks, love.<br />
I'm also quite amazed at how much I can absorb when he explains it to me, and also when he says it twice. The amount of notes I have written in the past two weeks is.. a lot for me, probably not a lot for old history students.<br />
<br />
There was this one question in Geography- The causes (social, political, economic, environmental) of Diabetes.<br />
I have almost nothing for political, economic and environmental.. Environmental causes... The weather is gloomy and wet today, therefore I shall eat chocolate all day...<br />
<br />
CAS-related Issues:<br />
I think I should email the primary head about my musical again but I feel like she doesn't like me already... D:<br />
<br />
I was meant to send in the form and money for my kickboxing class last week but I didn't heh and I'm only sending it in tomorrow when class starts on wednesday so I hope it's okay. And my hip hop class didn't get confirmed but I sent in the money anyways because mama already wrote the cheque, so I hope that's okay too...<br />
If all goes well though, I'm super excited to start kickboxing!!! And hopefully hopefully HOPEFULLY hip hop.<br />
<br />
I really want to do ice skating, run by Larissa as an ECA on fridays but I can't because I have to work on my musical :( :( ...if it goes through. I should probably email her now.<br />
<br />
I'm in girls basketball A grade now!!! Not sure when training starts really but I know that I'm probably not in fit shape or fit skill (that doesn't really make sense but murh) to play.<br />
<br />
That's everything for now!<br />
Weed 3 of IB, here I come.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6674723700687678517.post-60306431861710197552013-08-23T21:13:00.001-07:002013-08-30T08:01:39.494-07:00Week 1Went into school not really knowing what to expect but everything was pretty much the same really. Except that things had been repainted, the most outstanding one, the courtyard. But that doesn't affect me or anyone so it's not that big a deal.<br />
<br />
We did get our first common room though! There was a big fuss since we expected the common room next to the courtyard which is also bigger since our common room has become a bit like a fish bowl. I'm not complaining, I have somewhere to sit... most of the time. If the floor counts that is. I do wish we had more than one proper table though, I think it'd be useful for free periods to do work. But we'll see, we're supposed to be getting new furniture from the money Mother's Committee gave us? I really want to redecorate our common room though.<br />
<br />
Nothing much on the first day, just some in depth introductions to CAS, EE etc. But on that day I did decide that I wanted to do a musical performed by the primary kids as my big CAS project.<br />
<br />
Second day was the first day of classes!<br />
I had double English and double Geography since there were no afternoon classes. I'm enjoying English so far, it's interesting, but my teacher's voice is a bit monotonous which kind of provokes sleepiness and occasionally drifting off and head bobbing. Other than that though, I think her teaching is good so far, and I like what we're learning!<br />
I'm a bit worried for Geography since I didn't get such a good grade in it for GCSE's. Hopefully if I work hard enough it'll be okay.<br />
<br />
Third day was ToK day.<br />
Honestly, after my pre-IB camp and the whole day being ToK day, and learning more about ToK and things like that, to me, ToK is quite similar to bs. I'm not sure what I'm allowed and not allowed to say but that's just how I feel! (we're supposed to be principled right? honesty?)<br />
<br />
Fourth day was second day of classes!<br />
I switched from SL Maths to Studies because I apparently don't need it to do law in uni, so I'm going to trust my sources. In maths we did graphs, charts, and pictograms hehe. While the other classes were complaining about how difficult their double maths was, we can happily say we drew pictures and did pictograms!<br />
Our history class is also a bit weird, because in order to fit it in, we have to skip PE and do history. I don't really have any objections, but it does mean that I will need to go to the gym more often..<br />
<br />
That's it for now!<br />
First week of IB over, second week, coming soon.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
