The back to school blues
This week has been bad for me, especially since this is the first week of school after the June hols. I usually get tired after returning home and boy, I feel I want to drop, man. CCA is going to end on July, but I LIKE CCA!!!! Worse still, I still got sup classes to attend, 4 days from now. Man, this week has been going bad for me already. Even as I am writing this, I still have to find ways to get that template into Blogger without any errors. I am feeling so blue, blue, blue...
The only way of comforting myself is listening to 'I'll sue ya' by 'Wierd Al' Yankovic. As there was no embedding available on Youtube foor the music video, click here to listen to it. It's sure to give you the L.O.Ls. You can get the lyrics at http://www.lyricsmode.com/.

Blog revived form the dead special: The great discovery
Ha! Just when you thought I was dead. Well, this blog is now revived!
The other time, I went to Dunman High school open house and there was this archaeology booth that I visited. They issued us some archaeology sets bought from the National museum. Me and my sister started working on it in Dunman High and at home. In the end, we uncovered a 14th century gold armlet. Okay, so the discovery wasn't so great after all; it was an activity set. However, we used replicas of archaeology equipment and although the armlet inside was a replica, it was really discovered in real life. I now dictate to you the lines from the treasure card.
This gold armlet is one of the oldest artifacts we have in Singapore. It was found in 1926 when workers were doing excavation work on Fort Canning hill. A pair of these were found together with other jewellery. It is decorated with a kala head and this design is also found on the entrances of old temples in Sumatra. Experts say that the desogn and workmanship suggests that the armlet was made during the Majaphait peroid-mid 14th century. It is found in the collection of the National Museum.
The pictures I took of the armlet and the tools will be posted to 'My stuff' as I had trouble putting them on Blogger. I have derived a new skin for the blog from Blogger's default templates. I am going to fix the privacy options for the forum too.
