Mee Siam Mai Hum

Its impossible to avoid sidetracking a rant into a full explanation of the day, thus slipping into the barely lucid details that are so highly insomnia generating that they are advised use in moderation....

Gave 1 each for Chinese Bian Lun in the morning. I'm very niao de.... xD, so far no one has eked out a 2 from me. At least one that wasn't influenced by Bill. He seems very... liberal. I choose not to be. After all, I take Yuxuan as a benchmark for articulation, Gregory for content (translated of course), Yinhong for style, etc. etc. Thats to get a true 2. Nasty to say the least.... but I don't think ACE should be given away that easily. Esp. when you didn't prepare/read the motion/interpret it correctly.

We did a formatting test during BJ's period. I made an obvious flaw that she didn't notice. Sigh... so I get to skip redoing it. YIPPEE.

PE we had 5 items. Dismal. Could have done better for all. Not saying anymore.

Nothing left of recess...

Was in a daze during Eng. Nightfall was... incomprehensible. I had a few ideas but no one wanted me up there....

Double IS. I didn't sleep, MIRACLE. I did Assignment 2 with lots of help from Chewy. He corrected my 37 errors... I'm hopeless at IS.

*skip*

History according to JH was an FT period instead. Pretty lucky we jumped ship. It was pure liberation. Bliss. A swirl of enchanting leaves descended with stupefying grace, shades of brown and yellow in stark contrast with the vibrant background of HCI. Yes, it could only be heaven. But alas, what could mask the fact?

We took a taxi to Shenton Tower. 40 minutes early for our appointment. So we had lunch downstairs. Then we went up. 10 minutes early still. Anyway I got impatient and went in with the rest. Chewy went out and hit the bell. It began ringing (du-uh)... Bad projection. Anyway we told the counter person we had an appointment at two in a very professional manner, trying to ignore the humping behind me and yet keep a straight face.

Either way we were shown into a small conference room. Turned out Cecile was 1.7+ (gasps). Taller than the Ambassador himself. (more gasps). After clearing security (2 doors to slow traffic down for no apparent reason) we were shown into a rather small boardroom. We were given notice that the Ambassador was held up with some things... and we were given some chocos!! CHOCOS! I love chocos. And 4 glasses of supremely purified water. It was refreshing I guess, after days of tap water. The view was splendid.

Nothing really much of note, except we were told that he was held up again. And we were given brochures to read. Pretty interesting.

15 minutes later he strode into the room beaming. He shook our hands vigorously and said in a weird accent, "Nice to meet you! I was expecting university level students! How old are you?"

Very friendly. As you can see. Not like what I expected. I thought he would be darn boring and monotone. But he was like jovial and cheery...

Despite the interview being on EUTHANASIA. Apparently he had some notes to help.

He answered the first few questions in considerable depth, despite offtracking some. He forgot what an injection was called. Too busy I guess. He apparently had rushed from some lunch with some bigshots. Felt really guilty and zibei......

I was feigning professionalism like siao, must have looked hilarious. My voice when recorded is a trifle weird...

Ended the thing 40 minutes later with a friendly shake of the hand.

Then we left for school via MRT. Muk went straight home, Pete me Chewy went back to school for EP3.

Lost my PE shirt.

Thats about it...

The next week will be damn busy for me. Don't feel like saying it again. Anyway I apologize for this monotone post. Will try to make up for it tomorrow, now I'm totally SIANED.
