Mr Lionel *glares* is pestering me for an update on my interesting life (he has officially lost it because as far as I know, I have none whatsoever).

So here's the update!

Today has been quite an eventful day. What with the syarahan and all that. And also we have other stuff like THE LAST DAY AS PREFECTS!!

WHEEEEEEE... but somehow in a way it's sad. Like I said in a past post.

Will still have to kick the habit of digging in my pocket for tie and tying it around my neck.

So, first the syarahan. How did it go?

Well, while SOME people could sit around for an entire four periods (Form 5 syarahan was the second session which was after the first four periods of sch) without worrying about anything, SOME OF US HAD TO MEMORIZE OUR SCRIPTS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

But like I said, I only got informed on Mon. And I just practices last night.

Tiff, me, Al and Sjane kept walking up and down the entire school... anywhere but the hall to get rid of nerves. Then, some of them *cough* Emmeline and Cherling *cough* tried to skip the boring syarahans in the hall too and went back class to get their water... kononnya. Or was that Sing Yue's and Kai Lun's excuse?

And then this Kok and Ak... walk around the school like patrolling for what? HELLO, GUYS, LAST DAY AS PREFECTS REMEMBER? Haih. They doing spotcheck for students missing syarahan? HAH. *cough* Who missed the syarahan along with them? HAHHHH!!! Just wanted to excuse to escape the boring hall right? I can see through your tricks!

And then Noel and Sat ler? PATROLLING THE CORRIDORS FOR WHAT NOEL?! You can't trick me. Hello, earth to you, the corridors are EMPTY coz everyone was at the hall where YOU were supposed to be!!

I got excuse to skip the session in the hall. I'm a speaker. I was practising my syarahan! Well most of the time anyway. :)

Well, the syarahan was actually quite fun. Not the hyper active fun way. But it was kind of cool to have like your entire gang of friends and classmates screaming and roaring for you. The hall saw an upheaval it has been missing for a very long time.

Sorry guys, didn't really see the signs ( I know it spelt my name btw) you held up coz I was too frigging scared. All I could see was the mike and the stand and keep thinking: I'm gonna get this over with as quickly as possible.

But quite cool eh? Though I stammered my way through the speech, they stomped and stamped and cheered me after my syarahan anyway.

Oh and I still remember Tiff. She was so cute...
Tiff: Selamat pagi saya ucapkan kepada *bla bla bla* dan para peserta pertandingan syarahan. (gestures to the benches where the pesertas are supposed to sit... but since she's the 2nd last speaker and I'm the last speaker and the rest left... there's only me left...)
Some people turn and look at me.
Me: (waves cheerfully)

Haha. The syarahan was better than I expected I guess. ;)

Had a spotcheck too today. Last spotcheck ever. I think I didn't savour it like I should have. :D

This Aidan ah. Eeee, sometimes you feel like you want to strangle him. Ask him to do something never do properly wan ah.

For eg...
Me: (hands extra pen over to Aidan absently) Eh pass this back to Louis Chuo will you?
Aidan: (takes pen) Oh. (looks over at Louis who's a bit far away) (spots Yi Ping nearby)
Aidan: Eh, Yi Ping, take this pen.
Yi Ping: Oh.
Me: (finds another extra pen) Nah, Aidan, pass this back to Louis too.
Aidan: (takes pen) Eh Yi Ping, take this too (pushes pen into her hand)
Yi Ping: Oh (takes pen meekly)
Me: (hears the exchange) AIDAN!
Aidan: (quite innocently) What?
Me: I ASKED YOU TO GIVE TO LOUIS NOT HER!
Aidan: Oh. (looks and points at Yi Ping) Give back to Louis.
Me: ...

Aidan ah...

Hmm... what else?

Oh yeah. Cynthia Chai used the word implore before the prefects. And considering people would just use the phrase: I ask of you instead of I implore of you...
Sjane and me walking out of room to do spotcheck...
Sjane: Siaw, what's implore?
Me: (laughs) I told you bah, she always use big words.
Sjane: Yeahlar, what implore.
Me: Ya. She always use big words. Implore lo.
Silence.
Sjane: What's implore ah?
Me: Aiyah, she always like that one... (looks at her absently)
Silence.
Sjane: (innocent look) No seriously... what's implore?
Silence.
Me: Ehh... ask of?

Haih. Funny la.

And omg, I got Nick Ting on my team for spotcheck. When Anita Martin said he's like a little kid... I think she meant it...
Nick Ting: Eh, Siaw Hui, got toy car. Look!
Me: (look over) Oh, confiscate it.
Nick Ting: (ignores me and picks up toy car) Eh quite nice oh... (proceeds to play with it like a little kid)
Me: I said confiscate it.
Nick Ting: (continues playing)
Me: ...

And then when confiscating a science project...
Nick Ting: So how are we going to confiscate this huge building of blocks?
Everyone looks at the big flimsy building built out of blocks.
Aidan: Hard to carry like that eh.
Me: Yeah. I'm scared it'd fall when we carry.
Nick: I know I know! We dismantle it!
Me and Cynthia: NO! ARE YOU MAD?! THEY"D SKIN US IF YOU DISMANTLE!
Nick: Oh... (carries block and smth drops out)
Aidan: Oh dear.

And then when Nick found out he was on the same team as Cynthia...
Nick: Siaw Hui, do we have to stay in this same team always?
Me: Depends on whether Louis and Cynthia want to switch you guys when we retire.
Nick: Oh...
Me: (amused) Why?
Nick: Because... (looks at Cynthia)
Cynthia: If you don't like me just say la!
Nick: No la...
Cynthia: Nevermind we'd always be on the same thing. Because we're always meant to be together (in a sarcastic tone)
Nick: (blur) But I don't like you. (edges away)

Omg. I laughed like hell man.

When Alena confiscated a magazine going Tennis...
Alena: Kok Ming, is this allowed?
Kok: What's that? (squints)
Alena: Aiyah. (shoves the mag over) It's Tennis.
Silence.
Alena: (adds) That's Tennis with a T not a P.
Everyone burst out laughing.

After we finished the school day...
Noel: WHOOO!!! NO MORE PREFECTS! SIAW TAKE OFF YOUR TIE!
Me: Oh. (takes off tie) YAY!
Noel: Eat in class!
Me: Huh?
Noel: YOU MUST EAT IN CLASS NOW!
Me: (blur) What for? I'm not hungry le.

Louis: YES! NO MORE TIE!
Chee: YAY! NO MORE PREFECT! (high fives Louis, Mtyp and me)
Louis: YES! (swings ties round) NO MORE TIE!
Silence.
Louis: Oh yah... no more power too...
Chee: (evil look) Yah... no more power... (eviler look)
Louis: Uh oh.

Me: Khang, you're the most powerful person in class liao. No more prefects. You however are still class monitor.
Khang: MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! (extends hand like evil scientist)
Me and Mtyp: ...

Sally: (whacks me with fan)
Me: HOY!
Sally: (whacks again)
Me: YOU WAIT!! HOY!!
Sally: You no more power liao!!!!! HEEEHEEEEE...
Me:...

Khang: HAHAHAH! SIAW HUI YOU"RE FIRED!
Me: Oh shuddup.
Khang: HAHA! YOU"RE FIRED! YOU"RE FIRED!
Me: YOU SHUDDUP LA! YOU"RE GOING TO GET FIRED AS CLASS MONITOR SOON TOO!!
Khang: ...
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! (points dramatically)

Laugher is the best medicine. :)
