Tuesdaydidn’t sleep anymore today. Slept really late last night finishing my Geog land reclamation homework only to find out today from Mrs Png that it’s due next week. Horror of horrors. To think I sacrificed so many hours of sleep (reflected in dark eye rings which make me look so panda-ish or Mickey Mousey-ish, whatever way you choose to look at it) just to finish up an assignment that’s due so much later!!! Hahaha… *sadistic grin* anyway, there was a minor reshuffle of seating arrangements today, which involved me. Miss Tan asked me to switch seats with Ying Dan and asked Andrea to change seats with charmaine, and Cheryl to change seats with Faith. So now I’m in the 2nd group with Michelle and Yawen (in front), and sitting in the middle of the backrow between Charmaine (left) and Nathanelle (right). Hehe, this’s the mugger group! *laughs* haha, just joking…=P When I was given my new seat, Nicole was going “Qintan, we’re gonna miss you!” and I replied dramatically “oh, I’m so touched!” it’s really funny haha, but at least they don’t get constantly distracted with my laughter *laughs* okay that’s meant to be a bit of pun there but nevermind. =P I’m gonna buy farewell gifts for them…they’re a really nice group. =) *grins* yea, and I think I’m going to get Manyun a little sandbag as a miniature punching bag, for her to…erm…relieve stress? *laughs* ok ok I shall not be mean and I’m just joking. She probably already needed the punching bag long ago. *laughs*
Wednesdaythe first day of settling into my new group! They’re quite nice, but during reading period, Nat beside me kept groaning about how they shouldn’t have destroyed some i-don’t-know-what’s-the-name town which the author had so carefully crafted at the beginning. She was reading “The Silmarillion” by Tolkien. Supposedly about the history of elves in Middle Earth. *agrees with Nat* we love elves! *laughs* ok ok… anyway things passed quite normally for the rest of the day…Ms Choo was rather surprised at the minor reshuffle, and English lessons were, as usual, interesting *smiles* yes it is! She’s a great teacher! We were having a group discussion about what literary devices were used to create sensory images in the passages she gave us, and our group’s discussion went a bit off-track (quite the norm), but when Ms Choo walked past I said we were discussing about sensory blending, which was quite true anyway. But we were going a bit offtrack on sensory blending. Maine was going on and on about how white is more evil than black because “white pretends to be good while black does not”, and Maine and Nat were busy promoting Pratchett’s books while I was saying he brainwashes the reader. Haha. No no, don’t sue me. *laughs* ok it probably ain’t that serious but you see, when an author expresses some philosophical statement in his books, he actually guides the reader into thinking his line of thoughts. One can argue the reader has a choice to judge, but few will, that’s the problem, and so you can call that “subtle brainwashing”??? nevermind. =P and btw, we found out Ms Choo used to be a Straits Times journalist who covered Operation Desert Storm (Gulf War) and did the whole of the feature articles on the opening of Changi Airport Terminal 2!!! *widens eyes* How cool is that!? Haha. But she left journalism and turned to teaching because she didn’t luck the unethical issues of journalism (like, propaganda, omitting of certain parts of the truth due to mindset of editor, etc). during HCL we were doing lesson 14 about Marie Curie. Mdm Ho wrote 2 questions on the board, and said whichever group gave satisfactory answers/ points had 10 cents (for each accepted point). It was really funny with the groups arguing their points. Zwing and Nicole turned around and said, “Qintan, we miss you!” and I was saying, “ohhh….i’m so touched!” (again) and it’s so funny and quite…touching. *laughs* joking lah. Anyway, there was this question about why Marie Curie married Pierre Curie, and our group came up with the simple answer of “Love”. (*whoa…*) *laughs* at first teacher didn’t seem to accept it, but our whole group was trying frantically to tell her that when there’s love, then there’s marriage, and then I was saying a whole load of crap substantiating this one word, very rapidly in Chinese, and the teacher had this funny “taken aback” look. After that she was laughing and I was laughing too about the crap I had said. She accepted the point and said it was valid and good (*hi 5!*) because it is true, and she was only pretending to be difficult to see us substantiate our point. She also said she gave us marks for our “use of Chinese language and team effort” *laughs* but she went on substantiating it and apparently forgot about our 10 cents so I was telling Nat, Maine and the rest of the group to shape their hands into 10, and in the end only Nat and I did that, (trying hard to get her attention) but she saw it anyway and added the cents and we were laughing hard. It was so funny! After that during CME we were supposed to write on scraps of coloured paper some words showing appreciation to the healthcare workers battling SARS. We took a long time decorating. In the end we managed to draw a beautiful, pretty, pretty flower!!! Hehe. I drew the outline, coloured the centre, Yawen coloured the pink part of the petals and Michy coloured the red part. It was really nice! Then after that we borrowed those pretty shiny Tiara pens and wrote with it. (Since the paper was meant to be double-sided, and one group had already done it on one side, we did the note on another side) then we turned around, and there was a stark contrast between our colourful, decorated side, and the other group’s side, which was written in black and blue ink, and not very decorated despite the neat, pretty handwriting. So we were grinning and going around to people of the other group (serene, denise) showing them first our page, then turning it around. *laughs* ya it’s quite mean but we meant it to be a joke haha and anyway their handwriting and use of space is better than ours. Serene was going, “aiyah! Oh no, must decorate it some more and add a flower!” and she went and started using highlighters to add colour. Denise was also going, “must decorate it some more!” it was quite funny seeing them frantically adding colour. *laughs* Hehe.
