Mee Siam Mai Hum

Okay, so here's your daily dose of whining IF anybody actually bothers to read. My tagboard has been gathering dust a lot. Well I've been teetering on the edge of emotional depression, my constant failures for all my subjects can get very worrying. My nerves are getting all wracked up from a possible interview of the Ambassador of the Belgiumlands or whatever. Still need to arrange something on THAT part. And KK hospital to. Just a little trivia, Belgium is the ONLY country that has legalised euthanasia. So if anybody (like me) feels like you want to die and you scared to do it yourself. Go buy a budget ticket to Belgium, sign some papers and die there. Great. Its nice there's an alternative for the super depressed people like me and Jiahan.

Being a dumb student who has a knack for getting into trouble, I have FINALLY gotten scolded by a teacher. That I didn't know? More on that later, currently trying to organise my thoughts. Chronological order it shall be.

English lesson was first thing in the morning. We suffered the inexplicable torture of sitting through the explanation of an RGS comprehension. Mr Quek says the Raffles' Family has the toughest comprehensions in the country. Especially RGS as girls are better than boys at languages? Anyway I couldn't take that double humiliation so I pretty much decentralised my eyeballs and started fiddling with my stapler. Its going to be graded, thus we are so dead. Simple logical inference.

PE next. We were supposed to run 2.4 km, and we duly accomplished that. Muk and Joseph didn't complete the circuit, clocking 5 and 3 rounds respectively. But that was beside the point. Not having warmed up well, the first two rounds a methodotical jog, clocking 2 min 19 sec and 2 min 23 sec. Then my ankle began giving me problems. So I started limp-jogging. Which made it worse. Timings longer and longer. I only got lapped in the sixth round though. Not bad.

2 min 19 sec
2 min 23 sec
3 min 4 sec
2 min 50 sec
3 min 30 sec
5 minutes (tied shoelace, slacked off because it was a confirmed failure.)

Passing grade was 14 minutes 50 seconds. God knows how badly I did. Whatever. Trudging back to class was a torture in my shoes, a terrible fit.

Recess I finished my Maths homework in class. Then I accompanied OSS to the staffroom to get his iCouncil nominations. Miss Foo and his CO teacher were rather obliging. I liquefied Miss Foo's stuck thoughts and torrents of praises about OSS were soon coming out. No wonder OSS loves Miss Foo's lessons. I took my nomination from Madam Tham yeah and it reflected a positive comment. Scrawly handwriting, scarcely legible, but most teachers are like that. Probably written too many numbers. Haha. No offence.

Maths Lesson. Went through a couple of worksheets, then test grades. As usual, Peter beat me. By virtue of 2 careless transfer errors. Shouldn't have fiddled with my pen, really. I got 40/40, Peter got 41/40. The test was rather easy, I should have gotten a higher grade. 2nd in class is terrible. I've been eating humble pie for every subject but Chinese. God, when will this nightmare end?

Literature. Ben and mine last minute presentation got favourable feedback even though the weight was decentralised. 22 slides in a couple of hours while using lots of MSN and I not even having powerpoint. Ben's hardworking. And a great team member that allows everyone to slack as long as he's there. Pleasure working with him. I give him the ideas then go do my stuff and he does everything with a couple of clarifications. And he stayed up till 12 to help me with my Commonwealth essay. Thanks dude... But it still tio rejected because it wasn't in the proper format. Have until Monday to complete it. Ticked off for using "damn" and "crap" and "shit". Must change.

Chinese period was taken up by a lecture by Miss Letchmi Devi on Joseph. I've never hated anyone, although I may have said it rashly. Maybe pissed. Not hate though. Thats a strong emotion. Joseph could be a nice person if he is allowed more access to the computer. It would change him lots. Council might also change him. Bleargh.

Nothing much happened during science except a botched experiment. How cheerful.

Went to see Mrs Rosalind Lee. Terrifying presence. The way she scolds is like Mrs Audrey Teo like that. Not direct hurt. The masked disappointment is the worst part. My Commonwealth Essay still exceeded by 100 words and it was in improper format. So I botched it as usual.

NCC. To ease the boredom I shall use point form HERE.
1.Turning drills
2. Drill and practice
3. Physical training, comprising...
3a. Warmups.
3b. 1.1km jog (for a total of 3.5km in unfitting shoes. Crap)
3c. Pumping competition plus 11 for disobedience.
3d. Some water cheer that went like that. Our sarcastic staff CYH penned it I think.
Pumping is good.
Running is better.
But PT is the best!
YUUUUUUUUUUUM--SENG!!! (hardly amusing.)
4. Drills' review (replaced TCS. Sobz)
5. Games.

My thoughts on them. Drills were pretty okay I remembered everything for once. Made one major error but otherwise okay. Physical training took a huge toll on my ankle. Pumping competition went okay. 3 pumps deducted for not adhering to Standard Pump. Whatever. The water cheer was... I shall not comment. Soccer was okay we edged out a win 1-0 because of my auspicious jumping jacks. But the losers played another round instead of the winners due to some weird logical reasoning. The first time we win, the losers get to play again. All the times we lose, the winners get to play again. What luck.

Thoroughly stressful and tiring day. I shall end here. For tomorrow, a review of the people from 1-12 in my class.
