After five days of nothingness, I am finally back!!
I must say, Week 8, the Week of the Doom, did not disappoint anyone. At least, we were all ready with our armours and weapons, that is, midnight oil burning and last minute chionging. But I think v11 is just more mugger than other classes. Talking to Rachel yesterday made me realise that. SO I don't understand why every teacher is saying our results are going downslope. )=
Anyway, I must totally go through all the traumatising events that happened this week, meaning this will be a traumatising post. Haha. And a long one too.
Let's see, we had quite a lot of events (an understatement) happening this week. Mostly tests and assignments lah. Here's a nice long list of them x)
- Chinese CA test
- Physics test
- LA assignment (test)
- Bio project
- Return of SS test
- LA seminar
Wow, I'm so excited! I think it will indeed be a traumatising post.
Monday we had our ying yong wen lah. I thought it was zuowen, so didn't study. In the end, I had to chiong in the morning to study the formats. haha, But i chose the easy ones, which was good, because it turned out that the test was on the easier formats. Whew.
The previous day, we had been rushing out our sake kit. Which smells terribly GROSS of banana + orange + you get the idea. And the worst thing its now in my locker, and all my precious belongings smell of banana now. Please don't go and make stupid jokes like asking me if they are bananas pretending to be a tie/dictionary/you get the idea. Although I think I'm the only one who will come up with a joke as lame as that. =D
Laughing at my own jokes.
Anyway, our presentation went OK, because we were the first, Miss Low was more lenient. Which was good, because we were way overtime. Sigh. And other groups were good, but we found koji, which I hope marked us up?
Tuesday we had zuo wen. I wrote a stupid argument about blogs again, because I was in no mood to make up a fake story about how someone in my life died. Anyway, we did the blog one in class before, which makes it erm, slightly easier, I guess. (stress: guess)
Aiyah, the real traumatising part comes where Miss Toh gave out our SS test papers. Woah, there was sudden silence in the classroom as we listened in wonder to her chiding us, saying how only three people passed the test, and some people failed as badly as 1.5 over 25. And somone can actually get 21.5. Which happens to be Daryl. The other two who passed were jove, and anne.
I only got 7.5, which was saddening, but not as saddening as for Janice, who cried. But she still had the heart to make a joke in the toilet that she wanted to stop crying if not Mr Koh will start staring at her in lit class. Lolness.
And Tuesday was Marianne's and Rachel's birthdays, and I wished them online so it's OK I did not make a special post for them.
Right?
Nothing happened on Wednesday, which does not fulfil the torturing criteria of Week 8, so I shall skip it. =X
Please wait while I digest those words, because I just remembered something traumatising.
At the end of the day, yj and ws suddenly came and said to print/write out the stuff so it was all down to me and ruiqi again. so unfair. where has the world come to? I thought patriarchy was long over? i was too tired to argue for my female rights and just agreed to help, mostly worrying for my marks. we worked till 7, and they had the heart to complain the words were too small. GO AND DIE, GO TO HELL, and whatever phrases cursing them you can think so.
Then on Thursday, wah, horrendous man. We had to RUSSSHHHH our poster like mad, still late in the end.
But first, let me talk about the Chinese test. I have 6 marks deducted, but that's not the best part. While doing the summary, I thought I had a lot of time left, so dilly dally. In the end, 2 minutes left, still got one question undone, two questions half done. Rush like mad again. My brain cells dying millions by millions each second can. I think my brain is now empty and only filled with water and fats.
Back to the poster.
In the morning when I reached, I saw that the poster had merely the triangle up and the border half up. I don't understand why they take so long to finish such an easy task, i can use one hand and finish it in one hour. Of course, that was an exaggeration. But still. What were they thinking?
Perhaps having lunch for 2 hours before they started work, or admiring each other's bodies or something?
I might sound biased, but hey Im spouting the truth.
And then on Thursday, they pushed everything to the last 1-2 hours, to do. And they were slow-pokes again lah, dunno go where after the LA seminar, so me and Ruiqi (yes, again) went to do all the cutting and shit. And then we took so long to paste everything on I could have killed a cow. Using a lot of metaphors/similes here, so as to emphasize on the fact of their slowness.
And we were late. By 1o minutes or so.
When we got back to class, I accidentally broke a pen and it leaked from shock of what they said.
They actually asked me and Ruiqi to pay for the poster stuff, which was $32.80, even though they hardly did anything for the poster. Ok lah, I really broke the pen due to my own playfulness.
But anyway, hello, why are they couting costs with us?
Since they want to, I can do so with them too:
Pens and markers we used to write the stuff: $9.50
Construction paper for writing on: $3
Time we forked out to do all the shit instead of studying: a billion bucks
Fines from library books we borrowed for the project: ok fine $0.20
Money for internet bills: $100
Haha, too bad, I am a biased person and they have to pay us back every single buck.
And the funniest thing of all is, not only does our class know about the trauma of the maths project happening to me and ruiqi, even people from other classes know! It's so weirdly funny, but serves them right.
Let them know that two certain vs guys are pigs, literally.
Friday was the physics test, which went OK i think. Relatively easy lah, hopefully I passed.
But my battery went flat, and I borrowed Wing's, cos need it to sustain until 10+. LOVE YOU WINGZ!!!!
Met with Rachel and Ziye at Parkway, just ate dinner and rushed to Dunman high. Saw anne, jove, ws the pig (hahaha) and michelle at the bus stop. Was quite shocked he was going lah.
Anyway, kangqi was so funny. She stood at the second row, so pro. Soprano 1 some more lah, can certainly hit the HIGH notes.
Reminds me of my choir audition in sec 1. >.<
Bleah.
Li Ke and Xue Ling sang wu ding. Was a bit disappointed, with both his looks and their singing. Dunno how many people told me he was good looking lah, then finally see him, his eyes so small and so short. But then I have high expectations lah. Haha. But his singing was better than hers, although there was no coordination and the mike was too soft. Shall not be critical here.
And then we went home. 158 bus changed route, so weird. Now only goes to Aljunied, which is all the same anyway. But the people changed too.
Shall not make it into a sad post though, so I shall end here, and leave my thoughts to myself.
At the end of the day. =D
