A Day in the Life of Me

Hmm... a day in the life of me. So, what do I do?

First things first, it's not everyday I get to say...

YIPPPEEE! HURRAH! HURRAY! HOLA! ALOHA! WHOPEE... and all the other joyous shouts of celebration.

Why the jubilation, you may ask.

The EXAMS, yes the hideously long, boring and dreaded EXAMS are finally over!!!

Thank God.

Anywayz, time passes so fast. I just realized that like a few days ago when I was doodling on my Sejarah paper. I know I should have been checking, but I couldn't resist the urge. I mean, after all, I tried my best to answer all the questions and checked, twice.

I still can't exactly believe that I'm in Form Four. Everything just seems to be a blur. Half the year is already gone and I'm still stuck in the same old mess, trying to juggle church activities, studies and piano all with two hands... I am not an expert juggler, take note.

So how am I finding Form Four in the Science stream? It's hectic but you get your daily dose of fun from the different subject teachers and your hilarious classmates. This are some of the good times I remember from the different subjects.

Biology Bonkers
1)Hmm... Cikgu Anita sometimes say stuff that sound exactly the same as smth else...
Cikgu Anita: Budak-budak, eh-listen (sounds like Alison)
Sing Yue, Tania and me: (repeats while smiling sweetly at a hyperventilating Alison): Eh listen, Alison. Lame, I know.

2)Oh yeah, and there were the unforgettable moments of dissecting a rat...
Emmeline:(looks at the dead rat sadly) I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
My whole group looks on mournfully. Then...
Me: Oh put a sock on it (grabs the pins and start to pin the rat) Let's get on with it already. (grabs the dissecting set and starts slicing the rat)


Chemistry Capers
1) I remember the first time Cikgu Kenny smiled. It was over the most riduculous thing...
Cikgu Kenny: So you must remember, do not drop water into acid. You drop acid into water, if not, it'll explode.
The whole class stares back at him. Then...
Alena: So... where do you put the acid?
Cikgu Kenny: I'm not gonna tell you where! (smiles hugely)
Gosh that was lame.

2) When the class gets noisy, Cikgu Kenny invents a little game...
Cikgu Kenny: Eh, let's play a game.
Kok Ming: (foolishly) What game?
Cikgu Kenny: Okay, the game works like this. If I ask you a question and you can't answer it, you go out. (beams widely)
The whole class fell silent.

3) On how to make a bomb...
Kok Ming: Eh cikgu, teach us how to make a bomb, can?
Cikgu Kenny: (amused) Why?
Me: (stupidly) Cause it's fun.
The whole class perks up.
Cikgu Kenny: Your class has many destructive souls, beginning with the destructive Siaw Hui.

Physics Playtime
1) Mr Chan is always trying to keep the class quiet... and he always fails to do so unless...
Mr. Chan: So in this case, you must... quiet please... remember that the Archimedes principle states... quiet PLEASE... that when an object is partially... QUIET PLEASE... or wholly immersed in a liquid... I SAID SHUDDUP!
The whole class fall silent.

Actually, make it more like we're stunned.
2) And he has an annoying habit. He is spasmodic...
Mr. Chan: Pascal's Principle states that *snorts loudly* when pressure applied to any part *cracks his presumably spasmodic neck*...
3)Oh, and the fact that he always acts like a kid when explaining Physics theory...
Mr. Chan: I'm going to pull a shopping cart with bricks. It's not like anyone would go shopping for bricks! (laughs to himself)
What gave him that idea anyway?


Add Maths Mayhem
1) During a chaos in class...
Sarajane falls off her chair with a thud when Mrs. Ngu is writing on the board, back facing the class.
The whole class turns to stare, causing an upheaval.
Someone coughs.
Mrs Ngu: (turns around, clearly irritated) Aidan, drink some water.
2) On finding the weighing scale spoilt...

Mrs. Ngu:(a bit hysterical) Note: The baby refers to the weighing scale. It's like as if I left a two-month old baby in your care. And when I come back what do I get? The baby is dead. We tried to resuscitate the baby but it wouldn't come back to life anymore. You saw what we did to bring it back to life, didn't you? (her eyes make contact with me, who is gripping tightly onto my desk edges and trying my best not to laugh out loud) It's like a mother coming back to find her baby is dead. And YOU PEOPLE DON'T FEEL ANY GUILT IN KILLING A BABY!
I know it's mean to be convulsed in laughter when your teacher is getting hysterical with anger.
But heck, what was I to do?

Maths Madness
1) One day in Maths class...
Sing Yue: Cikgu, I would like to propose to...
The whole class: EKKKK.... Sing Yue propose to Cikgu.
2) On a fine day I suddenly become blur in Maths...
Cikgu Emily: Siaw Hui! What's wrong with you?!
Me: I dunno. So early in the morning, blur bah.
Tania: (pipes in happily) No, Cikgu, she's love sick.
Before Cikgu Emily says anything more, I have pounced on Tania, forcing her to shut up.
3) For no apparent reason...
Tania: Cikgu, just now I saw Siaw Hui paktoh (which is SO not true)
Cikgu Emily: SIAW HUI, how can you? You're a prefect!
She points to my tie and shakes her head disapprovingly.
So much for self-defense and a bigmouthed Tania.

English Ecstacy
Some of my best moments this year are from English class.... Seriously.
1) When Alison forgets to bring her Lit book again...
Alison: (looks up and smiles sweetly at a black-faced Miss Teo)
Miss Teo: (in a bored tone) Did you forget to bring your Literature book again, Alison?
Alison: Yes. Can I share with Siaw Hui? (smiles widely)
Miss Teo: No go get your own.
Alison: So shall I go to the next class to borrow one then?
Miss Teo: Yes, yes, go, please.
Alison: (gets up from her seat and skips merrily to the class door)
The whole class stares and then burst out laughing.
Miss Teo: People like that make the world a much more interesting place.
2) Oh yeah, and then there were those English games we played. Hollywood squares and treasure hunt...
a) Treasure Hunt
i) I'm in class giving out the riddles while Emmeline is gallivanting around the school hiding the clues...
Me: Okay, you can open up the riddles now. But DO NOT go out of the class yet. You can solve it mentally ONLY.
Ripping of papers then...
Chiew: (yelps happily) I know where it is!
Forgetting my instructions, he zooms off to the door, yanks it open and escapes.
Me: (follow after him in an attempt to stop him) HEY! DON'T GO OUT ...
The whole class rushes for the doors, nearly trampling me over.
ii) Because the class left earlier than supposed to, Emmeline was still out there...
Me: (running into the foyer while making sure no one tails me) Note: Emmeline's nick is Mini Mini... MINI!
Emmeline: (runs towards me) What?
Me: They escaped already.
Emmeline: WHAT??!! I haven't finished putting the clues yet!
Like thiefs we sneak to the discus ring to place one clue and then try to sneak to the library to place the last one but...
Me: Oh crap, they're at the library already.
Indeed some ppl are milling around the library.
Emmeline: So how?
Me: Umm... (notice my friends looking at me suspiciously) well, they think you have the clues right?
Emmeline: So..
Me: Pretend to run off in the direction as if you're running off to hide another clue. You gimme the last clue. I'll put it. Hopefully, ppl will follow you when you act suspiciously.
Emm slips the clue into my hand, pretend to looks sneaky and then runs off towards the staff room. Some ppl turn to follow. But not all.
Plan B: Lie to them...
Me: (walk to library, clue in right hand behind my back) Hey, why are you guys here?
Classmates: Because the next clue is here right?
Me: (pretend to be puzzled) No la. Seriously no la. Where got clue here?
All the time, I'm edging towards the library.
Louis: Why should we trust you?
Me:(places a hand on my heart, or rather my tie) Because I set the clues and I would'n't lie?
They start to run off away from the library. I sneak in and stick the last clue.
I didn't know people thought I was so honest. :D :D :D
iii) Miss Teo, Emm and me are observing our classmates running around in Block B...
Me: I never knew they could be so noisy.
Miss Teo: (wisely) Your game has given rise to a new generation of noise-makers.

Hahaha... well I think that's about it. For now. Sigh... the exam euphoria is starting to fade already. And my piano exam is next Thursday. Aigh... I have to pass this... and my scales and basically, everything, still suck. So I'm going to have to do a six-day crash course on piano. So I guess this is like the last blog till my piano exams are over.

So let's just say...

The six day piano crash course has now officially begun.
