Well. Having updated my blog, please inform me if I haven't linked you. No inflamatory words, please. It would simply have been an oversight on my careless part. You may contact me through the tagbox down there, or @ crystal_silverlake_ice@msn.com
I woke this past two days in an extremely bad mood, due to chronic fever, which comes on every time I'm stressed, feel grumpy, or simply due to a lack of sleep, which of course, means everyday.
I have been trying to skip school, especially today, as it was the National Observance Ceremony, and much as I love Singapore((more than not)), I did not think I could bear the idea of standing for half an hour listening to Symmone recite words I have memorised over and over again.
Especially since I was not the one at the mike.
Well, jealousy reigns.
I went, anyway, and i was quite glad I did, though why, I really do not know. It came on in an abrupt change of mood that I think had something to do with seeing Varsha, Lindsay, Pamela and co.
But National Day, or rather the eve of it, is no excuse to bunk off classes, and so, with heavy hearts, we parted ways with the rest of the school on the second floor to troop up to the unchanged classroom to study, a torture only amplified with the singing of the National Day song.
I was extremely tired during the entire lesson, my fever or whatever testing my resolution to be 'guai', and every single ounce of willpower in me was used to fight off the urge to allow my head blessed contact with the table.
Thankfully, two hours later, our worksheets were put aside to do something equally unattractive, but nevertheless alot less draining.
The NE quiz.
Knowing full well that we 2006 primary six pupils, smart in the area of maths, science and academic subjects, are complete dunces when faced with the prospect of anything even moderately related to being a patriot, Ms O decided to play a National Day powerpoint to save us the otherwise inevitable embarrassment of failing.
The powerpoint, however, did not stop me from getting the second lowest in the class, due to an inability to focus on the slides, a handicap spawned by my fever.
Not that my results were utterly uninspiring. I only had three mistakes, and two were spelling errors, but when you have such a giveaway resource like a powerpoing just brimming with answers, that is bad.
Still, I got the National Day watch, which belonged to last year, a fact debated among us and which we finally reached to the conclusion that they were rejects.
We also received a pack of different coloured pens, but our excitement and euphoria was punctured the moment we took off the caps to write, which revealed all the pens of being blue. Complaints centering around the words, "Cheapskate larh!!" were heard.
Made my way to Delicious Addictions with Lindsay and Varsha, where Lindsay promptly abandoned us for Rachel, who gave us a comtemptuous "you are dirt" look. Speak for yourself, 'gamer'.
I am breaking my new resolution, and must now give my reluctant apology to Rachel. Ugh.
Waited for forty five minutes in a cramped shop filled with boisterous people to receive fries, in which time we amused ourselves by singing to a reddened Jie Jie Nicole a birthday song.
Got fries and walked Varsha home, experiencing strong sense of deja vu at long neglected activity, due to lack of finances.
Returned home, and after exchanging compulsory greetings to brother, grandmother and maid, collapsed under day's exertions for a full hour with Yellowcard blasting in ears, via MP3 earphones.
Having said that, am awaiting MC's com to finish compressing the o2jam file and send it to me, though under the warning of, "if my brother come back while sending, den too bad".
Well, Meng Chun, I appreciate the thought.
If my English has suddenly become too 'cheem', and I have lost you, or under your superior command of the language, you have spotted several mistakes in my inferior grasp of the subject, please tag.
I thank you for your ((hopefully)) unwavering attention. Hope you haven't dosed off or got turned off the sight of this LONG entry.
