Today started at six thirty when I woke up, brush my teeth and got ready for school. I went out with my father and board the usual 975 bus, meeting minxiang along the way. After that,I went to buy some egg bread accompanied by minxiang and went to see the latest news on bulletin board outside library. Meanwhile, we met minxiang and the two of them (how dare they!!) left me alone looking at the bulletin. Alone, I went to meet up with sherlyn, min jun and shao qin and chatted for awhile before the bell rang. After that, we sang the national anthem and said the pledge. This is followed by new principal's speech. The new prinicpal look very strict and she was once a deputy director in the ministry, meaning that she was not going to let us off so easily on rules and regulations. Great news! Odac was revived for no reason and we were be able to carry out activities again, which means that my wednesdays and fridays will be gone and over which was meant for my swim (duhx). Anyway, after her speech, we went back to out CT class and met up with out new civics teacher, Miss Kelly Chong. I think she would be a great teacher with very good knowledge about what should be taught, our objectives and aims. She seems friendly except for her slang, which could be due to her stay in America with her husband. She thought ruben could sing and said vye rern was cute (huh???). She told us about this america's next top model in which clarrissa got her hair cut and cried which linked it to us that we should get our haircut or else we ended up like clarrissa. (huh??) Anyway,we had our first lecture class which was Mathematics. This brought me to question the lecturer on the sitting plan. Have she had brains to think that we are as a class and could not separated as a class. There was a lot of confusion in the process the three classes, s02, s20, s22 were allocated three stairs of seats and when we arrived, there is only left with two third of the seats which could not accomodate us. Do this lecturer even know how many people are there in each class and how many seats are there in each level of stairs?? (duhx). We were scolded by another class for taking their seats and that pissed me off. If this did not changed on the next lecture, I am going to lodge a complaint to the principal and make sure that some action had taken place. I am very serious about it. Anyway, after that, we had a short break of about half an hour and I went to visit the new library. It was a totally great environment as it reduces noise pollution in the library. There is two portions in the library. One portion allows you to talk, bring in your bag, discuss and many other things. The other portion encompasses the books, self study corner and the staff table for borrowing. Anyway, knowing that I could finally get my peace and quiet from the noise produced by my peers and that I could really study, I went to the study corner. However, our incivilised people could not stop themselves from talking and went to the self study corner to talk. I was like hello, someone is here trying to study and get his homework done and you were down there discussing about how your parents ill treat you by emphasing the importance of education to you. If you do not want to study and if you are looking at my blog now, please scram, I need my silence. Anyway, after that, we have another lecture which was physics and we were placed right in front of the teachers. I guessed it was probably due to our wrongdoings that we had done as we kept playing truant on the physics lectures. However, I had to admit that by putting us so upfront, I was able to concentrate more and not be disturbed by my peers who were laughing over stupid lame jokes (duhx), trying to draw attention by claiming that I have sexual fantasies over children which I loathed. The physics lecture was about the SPA skills that we needed to acquire. I hoped that we would have more chances to be more upfront as least, it made the class quiet for the first time. The last period was gp. The teacher, ms kelly chong is going to be our gp teacher. (I miss mdm yatti!) Anyway, i kind of like her style. She was able to convince me that she would be teaching concepts and skills that would be effective for my general paper. However, her ideals on letting us close our eyes and writing reflections were kind of lame but it certainly brought alot of attention to the class. She said we must participate in class but I would not be surprised that the whole class slept like last year through the lessons. Anyway, she went on to tell us her ground rules and had a 'contract' with us, bargaining over the time needed to start lessons, handling of work and so on. After that, she went on to talk about her life- she married a military man and went to America with him. (Her husband went there to study.) I guess it would be hard on her to teach us the most essential subject, general paper. Actually, come to think of it, we had managed to skim through the paper without much difficulties. (except for some) Finally, lessons concluded on one thrity and we went out for lunch in food court. Actually, we wanted to go long john silver but the place could not accomodate the eleven of us. I had this korean bbq chicken set which sore my throat at a later date. Wenliang had to go earlier perhaps to see his girlfriend which they claimed and vye rern decided to leave for basketball games with Dean and his gang. We talked crap and went on to look at minxiang's sister which zhi hao claimed that she was her. After that, the girls with the exception of meizhen along with ruben (the only male) wanted to go shopping while the rest of us decided to head home. Home has been my real shelter for revision and stuff and I decided to take a nap for about two hours. After that, I pondered whether I should go for a hair cut because my side part of my hair is getting longer. I decided against it and went to shop for my skipping ropes, ruler and eraser. After that, I finally done my tutorial for physics and left with my assignment on waves which I had absolutely no clue about it. I guessed I have to do my fair bit on self studying and not undermine the power of it.
what we could have been, 8:24 PM.
