This will be an extention from my main blog for my CAS Diary entries.
No I have not gone electronic with my Diary but only because I get really behind in my Diary entries on my actual diary and I don't want to 'forget' what I have been doing over the week and stuff. So this will be like my pre-diary entries before it really goes into my own personalised CAS Diary...
What I'll do is, after each entry (whatever activity I've done for it) I'll post up an image of what it actually looks like on my personalised CAS Diary when I get around to actually updating it... I'm too laz to post up photo's here on my CAS Blog...
Anyway, my Temburong CAS Trip is in my other blog site, so please feel free to go there and check it out while today's entry will be on the activities that I have joined yesterday and today:

Toddler Group 3:00 – 4:00pm
Today after school, my friends and I decided to help out with the Toddler Group that is held every Wednesday’s from 3:00 – 5:00pm. We get to help out in the Kindergarten area and watch over little 2-year-olds while from time-to-time we get to play with them too. Since today was our first time to help out with the Toddler Group we had a short briefing about the area and about the kids that come in with their parents. I got to watch over Mrs. Rasani and her cute grandson Haqueem as they roamed around moving from place to place to satisfy Haqueem’s need for ‘fun.’
It was fun to watch over little toddlers have their own little fun with either their parents or grandparents in Haqueem’s case. In my case, I felt memories come back to me as I entered the Kindergarten area for I have been in ISB since I was 5-years-old. Watching over little toddlers also brought back memories of the days when I was young, innocent and knew little about things and don’t even seem to care about it.
Anyway, the hour ended quite quick as we were misinformed about the hours we were supposed to do. I will however though be dedicated to and will be part of the Toddler Group every Wednesday afternoons to watch over the little kiddies...

Amazing Race 3:00 – 4:30pm
Today was the trial race for Amazing Race ISB – well it was only a trial for Mr. Holmes wanted to have a brief idea of how long the teams would take to complete a whole race. Well, it was planned for them to be able to complete it in an hour, but unfortunately it took about a half and hour later. But, as very helpful and keen students to grab as many CAS hours available, we ‘volunteered’ to stay the extra half an hour until the race was over. Valerie and I in charge of the second activity which was a Road Block where one team member had to count Monopoly money and report back to us with the correct total. If a team member didn’t get the amount right, they had to go back to the end of the queue.
I handled the Years 10 – 13 (more or like just the Year 13’s) while Val handled the lower year groups. Even though the task wasn’t physical, the groups found it hard to count their money as there were a couple of groups who kept getting the amount wrong. For me to watch this proves that I think people now-a-days rely too much on their calculators and not their mental ability.
Anyway, today was fun and I’m sure to say that I will also be dedicated to being a member of the Amazing Race ISB ‘behind the scenes’ every Thursday afternoons...
