like i stated,this has all in all,been a wonderful week.
okay. so i was upset last weekend. so esther was sick on monday and had to go home in the middle of the morning (before math class). so i didnt get the book i wanted to buy.
but that's okay.
it is only now,that i truly find that i am blissful, and very childish,really.
childish,because,i still whine about things i want but are not able to get.
but blissful,regardless,that i have such great friends in my life who were -are- willing to accept me for who i am,no matter how tactless and self-conscious and self-centered i am. i truly am thankful for all you guys have done for me, these heaven-sent angels who have brightened up my life, and cheered me up when i was down.
Dewi,thanks for offering to lend me your water bottle to tackle the kid -girl,excuse me- with the 2 copies of Breaking Dawn.
Esther and KoonLing,thanks for cheering me up. Dewi,you too.
and monday,all the ex-UG heads talked to their respective CCAs. according to QinJie the UG stuff is ok le,just that the individual CCA stuff still settling.. and so,we did not have to be angry at them at all. monday, sergeant ChunYin came and talked us into going to watch their training. it was an interesting 'illegal gathering' there at the 4/5 spiral stairway. QinJie argued -and was mad,somewhat,that we didnt back him up- but all (with the exception of BB) UG heads went for their NDP training afterward. and so the problem was settled. for now.
no point to dwell on it,ne?
tuesday was uneventful. i know,i whined a lot about not getting Breaking Dawn,but i told myself to wait for it,and so i shall.
wednesday was not so wonderful. they had public caning in school. these 3 malay boys stole stuff from the school,along with 4 others. they sold these items at very low prices,i'd heard. they did not seem repentant,though,after the beating they were each given. the school had allowed us to bow down our heads so as to not look,but i had forced myself to look at them while they were being caned,though i knew i would cry. which i did,of course. i had no idea why i did cry,though i had anticipated it.. strange,considering the boys deserved their punishment... but i had forced myself to look since that was the purpose of a public caning. i had forced myself to be brave,but the traitor tears fell out of my eyes,flowing down my face. i had wiped them off. it was lucky nobody had seen them.
PE lesson was fun. Mdm Yau had to attend a course (and she was dressed exceptionally well for that) and so we had free games. we had a GUYS vs GIRLS captain's ball match with 7 people (maybe it was 6,i cant remember) in each team. we were not quite sure who won,but it was a great game! it had been long since i've been running around for an hour playing ball. exercise feels great. i swear i would join some exercise CCA in poly. maybe even dance. ha ha.
we did research work for english,as we had a podcast session thursday with guests visiting our lesson. we used the laptops in the school library,and it was only then had i found out they kept laptops in the school library for loan to students. well,better to know nw than to never know about it.
we did research on this guy named Manuel Uribe Garza (whom i named MUG), who was the world's fattest man, and now the world's greatest loser--of weight.
they had another training wednesday afternoon. i went to look,and to help the Color Party with their training. there was great improvement,but as always, there was room for improvement.
the guides did a great job too.
thursday,we did our podcast. our 'secret' guests had not come,after all. and since we did not finish our podcast in english,we did them during english EC. we went blog-hopping afterward,and we (jertaime,joy,jieying, and i,) left tags on some blogs. here's what we left on mine.
jieying-claudia
joy-MUG
jertaime-DJ
zj-interviewer
MUG: hey yo man! how are yo doin'? (joy acting 'american')
Claudia: I LOVE MUG! to bits and pieces! (okay,so joy typed this for jieying)
Claudia: he isnt even bits and pieces...he is 1 big.............. (and so jieying typed this after zj said he is actually not many pieces but 1 big piece,laughing. i'm sorry, mr. manuel.)
Claudia: i shall be polite!=)) (because making a rib at people is rude)
D.J. : Claudia and mug sure have affinity!!!!!
interviewer: *watches the scene and laughs her head off*
D.J. : *bends down and picks up the head* (zj typed this for joy and jieying)
interviewer: ouch, my head. put it back on my shoulders please. tyty!! (: *LOL*
okay. on the whole a very stupid and funny conversation and role-playing. but fun nonetheless! ha ha.
waited at the foyer near the art tables with esther,rosanna,audrey and elaine for xiaodan to come so we can go to the tuition teacher's house together. they had their chem tuition first from 5-7,while zj did her trig homework (but still havent finished it even till today) in the kitchen with the dog,milo.
milo has to be one of the most hyper dogs i've ever seen,after kristy. even kris has toned down abit now. so maybe milo is young. i'll have to ask esther his age... i think she told me once... hmm~ oh,well.
i reached home at 10plus,all tired from physics tuition. esther had eaten my supposed lunch for dinner,cos i wasnt hungry. our teacher, a very beautiful lady, was rather envious. and yes, i love you,mom. thanks for your delicious food everyday,amongst all the other things you have done for me.
ms zaiton did a completely cool thing for us today,too. mr tan had asked form teachers to leave behind in the hall those students who did not have good results,those who were still in 'play-mode',those who had not yet 'woken up', for a serious scolding session,designed to shame students into studying and doing their best for their future.
ms zaiton had walked down the aisle and stared at everyone with calculating glares.
but she had gone up to mr tan and requested he let the whole class go,and with good grace he agreed,though a few of us did not receive good results for the term tests.
of course,the whole class cheered. it was the normal reaction. but ms zaiton is still cool.
she did,however,give us a talk friday morning about how we should study hard too. how some of us need to revise our studying habits for maximum output. i believe i will do my best.
friday was the big day!
the NDP rehearsal was ok. there were many cock-ups (though i think it was only us the sec 4s who did the scrutiny)
Connect Singapore event later on was fun. okay. 'fun' was an understatement.
i have pictures,but i cant post them cause my phone.... oh well. less on that and more on the event.
okay,so the sec 4E had to stand from the Salvation Army HQ to block 259. i had thought we were going to join hands with Pierce Sec,as we were told during the briefing,but in the end we we connected to Catholic High instead. Marcus was all excited. he was all "我要跟Cat. High的人牵手，不要跟我抢！"
it was so cute. what was cuter was that later,marcus had taken a photo with a sign board 'cause the lady in the ad. was pretty. the boy from Cat. High, Anson,was a kawaii boy. he had verhemently refused to take photographs with Marcus. of course,his peers,my peers,and the teachers of both schools had laughed when we tried to convince the boy to do so. he kept covering his face whenever any of us wanted to take photographs.
in the end he conceeded with poor grace. JunHao was triumph when he got the photograph.
we sang many national day songs -the choruses,mostly- as we held hands,my classmates and i.
we even sang "Happy Birthday to Singapore" at the top of our voices,and waved enthusiastically as commuters in buses passed by. some waved back;others looked at us,incredulous. we even sang on the way back to school,random songs such as Father Abraham, Elmo Song, Barney song, Doraemon theme song, Hi5 song, LOVE song of Hi5, and many more. (though this part,only some of us did the singing. actually,most of the guys and me, then later on audrey and esther)
i know,juliana and vanessa and the red cross kids. my class is kinda crazy. but,oh,well. if we were happy,who cared what others thought?
we went back to the school hall later on. chuping had said, "we are in school already,stop singing!" and so we stopped. our last song before entering the school was Father Abraham, while we sang Elmo Song while walking to the school hall from the front gate.
ms zaiton had blamed kanneth -- Father Abraham (the song) was stuck in her mind.
all of us went home with smiles on our faces.
ah~ i am missing 4/5 already... and we haven't even graduated!
granted,i have my opinions about some of my classmates (i shall keep that to myself,thank you very much),but it is also because i have these wonderful people as my classmates that i am able to experience such a great secondary school life. i shall not complain about these people anymore. i'll try.
saturday and sunday were my resting days... i practically slept, woke up and ate, then went back to sleep again. i'd better start work,or i'm going to fall behind,and i know i do not want that to happen again.
i will not get bad results again. and i will work hard for it.
well. good luck to everyone studying for the tests.
AND ESPECIALLY TO SINGPORE FOR THE OLYMPICS!!
