Yay, there was no school today! How wonderful.
I think people who suddenly start to like Mr Chan because he gave us a day off are horrible. I mean, that's so superficial of them. Firstly, he practically HAD to give us one or face hatred from the student population as it's kind of a tradition. Like Mrs Chan said last year, when people see our students walking around in the morning, they know that our school did well. It's free advertising and even the public is watching out for it!
Besides, Mr Chan's a really nice guy, no matter how long-winded his speeches can get. Some people are just not fantastic speakers or even teachers, but they have really good characters. I can name 2 off the top of my head right now, but I shan't because it's kind of mean. :x
Went to Delifrance with JY, Marge and Daryl. (: We had a good time
gossiping laughing away and eating wonderful French toast with sausages, scrambled eggs and Lipton tea. I love toast so very much. ♥ Remember that what is said between us STAYS BETWEEN US. Capiche? </mafiaboss> XDDD
Hung out with Daryl after that in the v11 classroom (which the juniors have upkept so very nicely!) and he taught me how to play gin, after which he totally trashed me. HAHA. RQ joined us later and we just listened to music and stuff. :D Yay, someone else in the world likes the same annoying songs as I do! (Read: Hips Don't Lie and Sexy Back)
Went to
Parliament House after that to watch them debate over the budget. It was pretty cool. We had to go through security checks so many times and then BOW to the Speaker whenever we entered or left a room and when the ministers stopped for a break.
It was so awesome, they brought in the mace and everything. :D OK, I'M VERY EASILY INTRIGUED. But really, there's a lot of protocol and stuff that piqued my interest.
The ministers are like
celebrities, you know. HAHAHA. Our guide was telling us not to wave at them and stuff like that. XDD And she kept on announcing who had stepped into the room, like 'Now, Mr Goh Chok Tong has entered'. So cool right?
RQ and Wing totally fell asleep, I think.
And I might have dozed off a little, too. XDD I ended up doodling on my paper and writing little random words that I picked up from their speeches. >D So at least I was
half-listening!
On another note:
Going off to camp for five daysDon't miss me I'll be thinking of all of you as I struggle to hike up the waterfall, get sucked to death by leeches, capsize my kayak and sink my raft.
Terengganu, here I come. :D
