Ok.. so monday was speeches (thanks siti).. i was falling asleep in almost everyone of them because sunday night, i stayed up late to watch a movie with my dad. but i do remember the last part of mrs deborah tan's speech. learn to say NO. haha.. that is a lesson worth learning..
so tuesday, malay enrichment, we had to watch a movie titled 'sumo'. i've watched it once before. find it really entertaining and enriching. you can learn something valuable there. we watched the first half of the movie before going to sri warisan. it was really nice over there. we had a good workshop about wayang kulit. the guy is really good. shucks. i forgot his name. and it might seem easy but wayang kulit is really difficult. with the emotions in your words and then having to handle the different props and puppets. not to mention it can last for hours, days sometimes, and you have to keep your standard up. you can't do a horrible job and it is tiring if you're doing it for hours. and the gamelan is really fascinating. i can't understand how someone can play the gendang. it's really confusing. a lot of hand co-ordination. and then again so is the piano. i guess practice makes it almost perfect.
and then we went back to sch and finished watching the movie. nice cikgu let us eat in class. wee! haha.. at the point of time where the sumo game was going on, everyone was gasping and some were like 'oh my god!'.. it's like watching soccer or rugby. haha
then on wednesday, we had jalan raya. it started of rather horribly. i mean, people were late. but then after that, almost everything went on almost smoothly. we had to change our plans now and then. we went to ain's house first, then sarah's, farah, lena and then all the way to tampines to afiqah's place, cikgu roziyah's (goodness, she looks like my aunt), then azira, cikgu melhan (his children is most amiable. i remembered ain was carring his youngest. and then he cried. but when she passed her to me, she stopped crying. aww... =)), mr azmizar, diy. but i didn't go to diy's house. it was really getting late. i took a cab home cos the bus was taking an irritatingly long time. i got locked out of the house when i reached home. that wasn't surprisingly really. but at least i didn't get the silent treatment.
thursday, netball carn and drama night. 202 won second for netball carn. wee!!! the cheers for our class was really funny. i like the second cheer:
score it, don't stop it
202 let's get on the court
let's work your body and the ball stays in the court
let me you see you 2/2 step
we love it when you 2/2 step
everybody 2/2 step
2/2's gonna win it all
it's sung to this song. i dunno the title. but i like our class cheer.
then drama night. i lied to my mum saying there were no more places cos i submit the reply slip late when i actually totally forgot to submit it in the first place. but even if i did, i wouldn't want her to come. i can tell she was relunctant to come anyway. the whole thing was last minute. she agreed to it only as i was on my way to school. and i didn't want her to be there if she really didn't want to see me on stage with the rest of 202. and besides, part of me loathed her at that point because of her locking me out the night before and totally ignoring my explanations of why i came home late, saying it was unexcusable. she didn't think herself as unreasonable. but i don't know what overcame her because she actually kissed me goodnight.
if there is one thing i want any parent to know is how the child tried his/her best in everything. who wouldn't want to make their parents proud? sometimes, only God knows why, a hard work's not paid off. and sometimes what my mum only sees is the results my siblings give her. she never really see our hard work. and sometimes she never see how hard me and my brother study because we usually mug in the library knowing that studying at home won't be productive because my mum will sometimes barge in to check on us and idris will make a racket. something about me and my brother, sometimes we like be in control of ourselves and our progress. that accounts to why we spend time by ourselves.
anyhow, i went to ms chen and lied to her saying that my mum couldn't make it but she suddenly told me that she had freed some time to come and watch so can she please please come? and ms chen said ok yea sure. and then smsed my mum and she came to watch. 202 won the third place. it's better than not getting in it at all. the prize we got was sorry.. but it's pathetic. we were all excited to know what was in the cardboard box. but when we ripped the wrapping paper off, and open the box, we got a shock to know inside was only envelopes. anthea grabbed some and was about to hand them out when she felt something inside and yell 'there's something inside!'. so everybody was hushed again. tension building up. then ama opened one of the envelopes....
...
...
...
then she put her hand in it...
...
...
and she took something out...
...
...
guess what was it???...
...
...
a bookmark. a bookmark. we were like.. uh-huh?!?! so much for the tension. but it had nice advises on the bookmark. mine was something about 'it doesn't matter how slow you are as long as you don't stop'. that makes sense. and emily tried to steal my bookmark. hmph... walau.. she's damn freaky.. she can carry ama! like wth?!?! so strong. and ama can't carry emily. o.O
ain's bookmark was 'a good relationship is forged between two forgivers'. i'm like awww... but then thinking again, how many mistakes can someone afford to make without the partner getting super pissed off? and how long can one tolerate the other's shit?
then, on friday we had farewell assembly and ODT. of course farewell assembly was a drag but we survived through it. then came ODT. performances were a lot better. maybe it was because it was for mrs deborah tan. but i thought the best gift for her was the portrait. it was really sweet. and thousand apologies to her when she hears our class song. due to lack of practice, some keys were totally off.
