Beginning

i know this post is a little late for its title, but i wanna talk about my life in school so far. school's so so. first day on wednesday, had talk from principal, learnt the theme song for the year and the theme for the year. it was quite boring, the whole assembly in the hall. the only time i laughed a little was when my friends joanna and shariel cracked jokes about how they called our classroom. my classroom is located in the F block, (forgot the christian name they had given the block) on the 4th floor, the 4th room. so in short it is called f-04-04. yeah and you know, in chinese,4 sounds like the word die, though it was an ordinary observation, for the superstitious, it would matter a lot. then we went on to create a simple way of gesturing 0404. which was really lame and stupid and funny. so i laughed.
i've been feeling really lonely nowadays except for shariel. she has been accompanying me for recess and to the library. thanks a lot shariel! :) the main reason for this is because of the trio prefects who are so busy in their duty. :( i really miss them and school horrid without them. :( hope i will be able to sit with them. good thing we are of about the same calibre, so we are in the same class for almost all the banded classes. but i will be still alone for the humans classes, which is so bad........ but i shall give thanks that we are still in the same form class. :)
now let me go on to the lessons so far.
the very first lesson i had on thursday was e maths. miss gail chew(or she changed her surname to her husband's) came in. she told us that the banding had not been confirmed so she was taking us for the day. she did some revision with us on the sec 2 stuff like quadratic equations. and i took home something new that day from her, it was to put the word 'or' instead of putting commas. i mean i never had been corrected previous by any of my math teachers, so i went on to use comma. i wouldnt mind if i stay in miss chew's class as i think she's a fabulous teacher, but considering the marks i got for maths, i dont think i will be in the second class. (i mean i think i will go the better class ;))
during the following period, mr elvis low, teacher of physics, came in to familiarize us with the weightage that was implemented for the o levels. i find him cute with his braces.
then i went recess with shariel.
during chemistry lesson, mrs joyce chong, like mr low introduced us to the expectations of o levels.
english lesson followed. my teacher's miss annabella ong. she looks ang moh although she shares the same surname as me, so i deduced that she's mixed blood. she then gave us her personal profile, she had studied psychology in university and some other thing, i cant remember. and she'd taught in some secondary school. she proudly professed, "although i may look young, im very experienced." i shall choose to believe that she indeed has a belt of experience. :) and she's quite cool. lol. and then we had a round of introducing a friend (instead of the normal introduction of oneself). since vivienne is in the same class as i, she was my part time friend, ( i know im really mean but i just cant wait for janice diane and elyssa to be back!)
followed by was add maths, okay i must say im very afraid for this subject. i shan't say too much but i felt that mr lyndon lim was a little too fast for me. n cos there were the amp girls there, they were really ahead of the rest. and somehow mr lim had always asked an amp girl to present her answer on the board, n they will get it all right. then mr lim said," class, am i too slow?" no! you're not! in fact he was a little fast as i had mentioned earlier.
then i had lunch, during this time i spent most of the time memorising the lessons for peerlite. though it was hard work, it really paid off as the peer lite session was really fun as i knew my work. :) i shall declare it out loud, "being a peer lite has been the most fun and best thing i had taken up in leadership of the school!" thanks for the chance for me to be a peer lite! we played games and taught the lessons.
then in closing, we had this really fun game, by which names of some famous people would be pasted on a few girls forehead while everyone had eyes closed. then we would go one round and the girls with a name had to play the game of guess who. the first one guess was lee hsien loong. the girl who had reached to the state of gathering clues that the person was a very important person in the area of politics in singapore. then someone gave her extra info saying,"aiyah dont think about the party, only got one person..." so it was an easy guess. the last name to be guessed was thomas edison. the girl was hilarious. she was the last and we were running out of time, so we gave her i big clue and it was the man who invented the light bulb. and then she went, " I KNOW! ALBERT EINSTEIN!" lol, everyone was really amused! btw for extra info, albert einstein is nickname my former classmates had given my due to my hair and cos i was a little smarter than them. :)
okay that's all for the second day of school. and it's really late now, im going to church tomr so i shan't miss out n any sleep! will continue the rest next time.
okie dokie, see ya!
