Monday has always been the longest and busiest day of the week. Before that, today i was so shocked. I waited for Jia Liang, my classmate at the Pasir Ris Mrt Station control station. He arrived at 6.31am when we agreed on 6.30am. But its okay. We met Chee Yong, another classmate and my floorball teammate, at the platform waiting for us. We went in the train together and started talking about the O level results coming out today. He kept saying that one of his Track and Field seniors could still joke about it. Shouldn't he be anxious and nervous? Weird. We missed the 6.50am 196 bus and has to wait till 7 for another bus. We were so scared. We didn't want to be late and had to see the Operation Manager, Mr Chia, A mixture of kindness and furiousness. But he's funny too. We kept looking at our watches and prayed for us to reach before the bell rung. We alighted at 7.22am, and ran as fast as our legs could carry us. We had to stop at the Zebra Crossing as the prefects helped us stop traffic to ensure our safety. We asked them to hurry as we didn't want to be late. When they stopped the traffic, we reached safely and felt relieved as we reached at 7.24am. Phew! what a close shave. This was the first time i reached school at 7.20-7.25.~~~~~
Back to the busiest day of the week. After assembly and all, we went back to class and had our lessons as per normal. By saying normal, it was only for Mondays. We end at 4pm! Thats is seriously very very very, super late. At 11.45, We heard the chyme to alert us that an announcement was coming. It was the Principal. He said, 'All classes will be dismissed at 1.45pm to be able to watch the O level release of marks and share the joy with them'. That followed with a loud cheer which could be heard all over the school. Everyone shouted for joy. We were the most blessed. Other Victorians would end at 2.15 which is only 30 mins earlier. Well, we ended at 4pm which is 2hrs and 15mins earlier! After Mother Tongue periods, we left. We had to meet Mr Amir as our Science teacher, email-ed Mr Amir saying that some of our classmates were making lots of noises in class, Disturbing the rest. We had to listen to his lecture for like, close to 20 mins. Sit till backside pain already! Never mind about that. I should be grateful it was over. I went towards the hall and watch a little bit of the releasing of results. I eventually left as it was so stuffy and warm at the gallery. I went back down to the P.E Department to challenge Yusof, my floorball junior 'AirHook' which is a floorball skill. I did 9 at first, then he beat me with 11 revolutions. Then i beat him again with 13 revolutions.
An Example of AirHook. Done by, Gerald and
Ak Mal. ENJOY!~
Seniors were definately more skilled. No doubt about that! I tried to be a goal keeper too. I wore Ezra's goalkeeping attire and was not bad actually. I managed to save quite a number of shots. Maybe this is just natural talent ; D I then went for hockey training. Wow, being captain isn;t just for fun, I had to organize the team, take charge of this and that. Well, i'll get used to it. We played a match from 3-5 pm C against B division. The final score was 0-7. We knew that was coming. After hockey, we went for floorball training. Mr Amir looked so furious. But half-way through, he loosened up and started to joke, smile and laugh. Mr Fred came too. So many things took place in school today yea? It was about 7 when everything ended. I totally forgot i had Science tuition at 7.30 pm till one of my teammate kept complained that he had too many. I quickly called my mother and asked her to come and fetch me. She scolded me for being irresponsible and for wasting time. But, in fact, scolding me was wasting more time. I rushed off to meet her outside the school. She drove like how kids drove those car games in the arcade. RECKLESSLY! (no offence to addicted arcade people) She sped, weaved in and out of cars. Super SCARY! I reached White Sands Mall at 7.29 pm. I went up and managed to reach on time. The teacher and his lesson were super extremly boring. he was like reading from the paper and then said word for word from the paper and said it to us. It was as if we couldn't read for ourselves. Suddenly, a soft chyme went. It was 9 pm! Finally tuition was over. I was so relieved. I called my mother and asked if there was food at home. She replied no and i was overjoyed. I could go order Burger King and claim the money back from her late. How smart am i? Well, i hope through this economic crisis, my parents jobs wont be affected but safe and secured so i could still enjoy these privileges which i am enjoying now. Double Mushroom Swiss is the BEST in Burger King! TRY IT!~
