Autism Group

There were some children who were brought from Learning Ladder to ISB for during Friday where we would play with the children at the ISB playground. Playing with these kids were not different with playing with others, we would play on the slide, climb on the ladder and hang from the handles, but the only things were that they did not take to us very quickly and we had to spend more time with them until they felt like they could trust us. Some would even reject playing with some of us because they did not know us.

Even though at times, we needed to do more to catch their attention, the kids were really awesome and very active. We only spend a short time with the kids but I had a great deal of fun playing with them and i enjoyed the whole time I spent with them.

International Day

International Day was very enjoyable because we saw many things of other cultures like outfits, food, sports and such. There were a lot of stalls selling foods of all kind and were delicious as well. All the students were wearing their traditional outfits and some even explore other culture's traditional outfit. The classrooms were decorated with themes of different countries with the countries' flags, national animals and colors.

Everyone enjoyed the great chance of exploring their own and other's cultures on International Day.

I have many many beautiful pictures to show you!!! but I also have tried to upload the photos, but they wouldn't go up. I shall put them up through an image hosting website asap. I apologize.

ISB interhouse Basketball Matches

ISB has 3 different houses with the colors of blue, red and yellow.

Then to increase the competition of the houses, a basketball tournament was organised. How original!

It was very different because some of my friends were in different houses and so I was teamed with a different group of friends, this really make it more challenging because we were not used to each other so it took us a while to get the hang of being a team but after a bit our teamwork grew stronger as we played and it make me feel very accomplished of the teamwork I was able to build with my other friends.

The teamwork effort i found most valuable in myself was staying out of the way while the better players did their part. =D

Badminton

I joined badminton that a few Year 13 organised. We play at an indoor court at one of the hotels in Brunei and it was quite stuffy but that make all of us sweat like crazy, felt good after a good exercise.

Badminton was more tiring than I thought, well maybe not as tiring as KK training, but almost there. But some photos of us playing badminton while drenched in sweat.

Year 13 Leaving assembly

The Year 13 had their leaving assembly and I took part by taking photos of the assembly.

It's really sad to see them leave and also posed a great thing for me to ponder about, just over a span of a few months i will see myself up their, in their positions, crying and hugging each other to say good bye as they stepped out into the cold, cruel world of reality.

Its emotionally challenging to take pictures of such things.

The Professional Association of Diving Instructors

Like the name suggests! Guess what happened?


In the earlier days of TERM II, Master Scuba Diver Fraser paid a visit to ISB to encourage us already-ever-so-green students of ISB to further their anti-"anti-earth" campaign under the sea

(take it from me!) lol.


In the watery depths of the vast seven seas is where us amphibian divers will clean the world up, while our landwalker counterparts slowly scrub up the beaches.


Our scuba diving team (Codenamed: SIR CANTERFORD TEAM) consists of only 7 members, 6 of which are IB students from ISB.







The training began on a sunny Saturday of the third month. Prior to the dives we were made to study and know by heart facts about diving from a 300 page textbook which I found heavy enough

to act as a paper clamp on my desk.

The dives were, well in one word, awesome.


We began with the basics of diving, putting together our equipment and learning to put them on.




Unbelievable as it seems, the dive equipment was even heavier than the textbook, even more so, far outstripping even my own legendary mega-weighted school bag.


But once submerged, the equipment did not feel heavy at all. If anything, it would be reason why we could float when we needed to.







Confined water dives are done in the swimming pool, and there we learn basic safety and emergency procedures and learn techniques of scuba diving.


Open water dives, are done at sea, and is where we have fun. =D


Take a look at some pictures!

We also paid Mr. Nemo and his dad a visit! =D
They are doing fine, they say thanks.




Somewhat unfortunately, .......


the underwater photographer didn't take any pictures of ME.

Well technically you can see me here, look at the head closest to the shirtless chap with red and grey pants.
I'm still considering a lawsuit.

Welcome! To the watery depths of the Seven Seas. 

Where water and salt is one. 

The staircase painting! Be patient.

Indeed, i have very interesting photos to post, but untill I find a way to compress their sizes, 

I won't be able to post them yet. Each photo is 3mb, about the same size as a decent quality 3 minute song.

Apologies!
