today like marathon liddat...
keep posting n posting... :P
feeling very inspired lah.... :)
hmmm....
today announcements getting very interesting....
muz be too much french...
i dunno y but i get pretty uncomfortable when they announce "liaison officers needed... pls sign up"...
especially in some NUS thingy which i cant remember wat...
well....
in french a liaison is an affair.... like sexual affair yar?
so liaison officers....
sounds like they either having a rendez-vous with the participants or promoting promiscuity....
next announcement...
or rather award ceremony...
"our school has achieved commendable achievements in the vertical challenge held in suntec city at some time.. they climbed a gruelling 43 storeys...."
well...
i always thought njc pple were vertically challenged n they've proven their point...
they challenge vertical limits!!!
*sigh*... being lame again....
sorry
next, the dragon boat award ceremony..
the emcee or whoever u call reads out the script, walks up to the podium... thumbing through a whole stack of notes....
"the canoe team would like to say 1stly that we do not recognise individual achievements... we only award group efforts...." *sigh* teacher propaganda...
then, the prize-giving starts... n apparently there are like wat 3 team awards to give out... at like 12 - 20 members per team?
so... an endless queue forms as the person reads out names after names after names...
15 min later when we thought all was over...
the person suddenlly fumbles frantically through his stack of papers... 'finally, we would like to say that there is a canoe trials on monday...."
i nearly fainted lor....
half n hr of announcements n he's still not done yet....
-*sigh*-...

so expect new stuff... more fascinating i suppose... i hope....
yar... new class... cant seem to forget the previous class though... 04S14 rox!!! yar...
anywayz... still sticking to the old bunch lah... hanging around the lit pple mostly cos most subjects in common...
of all things, our class... an odd combi bunch...
inevitably, geog, art, hist, german, lit, hcl, cla, clao appears all over my time table, making it like 2x longer than the usual ones lor... so shit
thus... a lotta pple communicating in chinese... amazingly, our class all chinese!!! yar.. so as the classes commenced, so did the bickering....
interestingly... a squabble breaks out between the bi/gay tony/ernest n the self proclaimed beauty queen... apparently, tony/ernest commented on the beauty's stunning figure...
the most interesting thing is not the reason they squabbled... size issues are soooo clichéd....
the thing is that they are bickering in chinese!!! so u get this whole string of chinese insults thrown to each other, even in strange accents.... the beauty queen won of cos... no one has an acider tongue than her....
Civics tutor... even more gao siao....
1st lesson... he starts telling the class: ' ok... lets take a picture...'
naturally everyone's shocked, n we see him calmly taking his camera out of his bag, casually fixing up his camera stand...
eh the civics tutor not bad leh... bring his own stand to take pictures ok....
nvm, still ok...
nxt comes the incredulous order....
"can u all stand in a line, according to register number? so that i can recognise u..."
*gasp*
"but leave a space for me..."
*double gasp*
its like so..... i dunno wat.... but so funny...
i mean u dont see other civics tutors doing this....
it comes naturally to them after a while...
i even heard our dear 'goldfish' remembering EVERYONE in the class by the next assembly!!!
well...
it is his style...
however funny it may seem...
juz hopes all goes well though....

1stly... one teacher was being... i dunno if intentionally or not, bimbotic... she was like fiddling n fiddling with the ohp screen... like self entertainment, pulling n pulling... but still refused to stay down
after like 10 mins... someone said that it might be spoilt.... her response? 'but the instruction here says "pull down all the way, then hesitate"...' n she continues to fiddle with the damn thing!
finally she gives up n leaves the screen halfway down, even though the intention was to flash the thing on the whiteboard... so now she fiddles with the ohp, trying to get it to flash BELOW the screen while still on the whiteboard, but cant as apparently the ohp is spoilt too... now half the stuff is on the screen n the other half is on the whiteboard!!!
her comment: ' im totally clueless around technology....'
case closed....
furthermore... i dunno how she stumbled upon it at this time... like everyone threw the book away ages ago: Things that make us singaporean
re-cap: the tiny red book that no one ever reads....
of all things, she says ' thing is so fascinating!!!' (jaw drops)
its like, who the hell reads these stuff?!?!??!
even if they do... who ever comments stuff like that as FASCINATING!?!??!
*bleah*
next... possibly the most painful 2 hrs of my life... sitting through mr tay's class.... being a litle polite here....:)
as expected, he has chosen his favourite to torture.... pet name Prada.... 'oh the girls all like to carry him around...' sigh....
well at least he already has his target... leaving me fly under the radar... for now....
then he talks to us abt physics....
"something will happen when the hole is too big"
hmmm.....
no lah he's juz talking abt the pendulum bob-like thingy, a triangular card made to swing like a pendulum bob....
but it is mr tay...
not really shocked he says stuff like that without flinching....
"bullshit enuf can get u through one..."
interesting comment on the a level exams....
seeing that it is commonly seen as sacred n revered....
n mr tay-ish...
in contrast, this is a teachers view on o levels...
'u noe o levels, so easy right? O for OMG its so easy!!!'
rriiiiiiigggghhhhtttttt....
