tomorrow is the first of September which is also teachers' day. HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY TO ALL TEACHERS!! some prefects spent a lot of time in sticking the post it pads on pieces of A3 size papers and laminating them to give to the teachers. well, it includes foong hui who is not a prefect but spent time helping us. thank you!! we worked on Tuesday from 1pm-3.30pm. well, it was supposed to be until 3pm only but we stayed on longer as there was much more to do. some of us worked OT for all the days as there was too much to do. there are like 70++ teachers in the school and all the students are supposed to write. its compulsory. each student has to write to his or her form teacher, MT teacher and another teacher which he or her prefers. this way, one teacher has to have more than 40. that's a lot.. we sorted, stuck and laminated.. Mr martin said we will be rewarded according but i doubt so anyway. its sense of achievement that's important to me. it took hours and hours and some teacher's notes and messages got mixed up because they all have similar sir names.. I'm really sorry about that. if any teachers have complaints, go look for Mr Ho =D he said he'll bear all responsibility as he's in charge of us. though it was tiring doing all the work, i must say it was very fun and i would like to help again. esp when Mr Ho is in charge =D
this morning, i had to wake up at 4am to send my sister off to the air port as she is going to Japan on an exchange programme. see what a good sister i am? fancy waking up at 4 to go to a freezing cold air port to send a sister off to a very fun place when she usually treats you very badly.. i rushed back to school and reached at 8.05am. whew! i was yawning in class when we were doing math, english and stuff.. god, i was so tired.. actually, i didn't want to come in the first place but i decided to come as it was teachers' day. though i had no presents, i took time from my precious sleep and wrote letters. well, not to all teachers.. i feel so guilty about having nothing to give to my hard working, caring and kind teachers.. sorry!! during the celebration in the hall, rebecca, christopher, hui li and i helped to give out the laminated A3 size papers decorated with touching and meaningful letters and messages. i went to the PA room to give Mr tan his. he remembers my sister!! awesome!! haha.
it was rather enjoyable to help and give. no offence, but the performance was horrid and terrible.. it was super, duper boring.. i rather go back to class and do work than waste my time sitting there watching some boring thing..

my parents, cousins, aunt, grandma and i celebrated my sister's birthday on Friday 17 august. we were planning to go play badminton like we always do on Fridays or go watch the fire works which were imported from Germany. well, we decided to go watch the fire works since my sis fell down while running a few days ago and have 2 big bruises on her knee caps and is seriously not in the perfect condition to play. we split up into 2 cars. my mom and dad went to fetch my 2 other cousins, fiona and frederick, from the MRT station while my aunt drove us to the esplanade. we had a fun time going there, trying to avoid jams and stuff. we were in a stationary lane on the bridge leading to the esplanade and the traffic police kept making the cars move and in the end we were " forced " off the bridge.. how sad... the fire works started late and we were so angry as if it started on time, we would have been able to watch it! we missed a lot of it and finally when we drove to a place where the fire works could be seen, we saw the fire works. it was really, really awesome! there were shapes of planets and hearts and smiley faces!!

the car was running low on petrol so we headed for the petrol kiosk nearby. we met up with my mom, dad, two cousins and my grandma in macdonals's at king albert park. we planned to cut my sister's birthday cake there. all of us knew and she was the only one in the dark. we ordered french fries and drinks. when we finished our food, suddenly, my sister smelt a burning smell. she asked my cousin where the smell was coming from and my cousin said that it was coming from the side where the counter was. suddenly, my mother brought the cake with all the lighted candles. my sis was shocked and said " so that's where the burning smell is coming from!" we all laughed. we sang her a birthday song too. even though there were many people staring at us, we didn't care at all. we took many funny pictures too!!(see above)

tomorrow is the start of my prelim exams and i wonder why i don't feel stressed up like usual.. hmm... anyway, i found a cool youtube video clip. i think when you watch and listen to it, you'll laugh out loud like me. its really nice and funny. i think even jimmy ye will find it nice. the website is http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ra3nf_ZS0zw . if you're free, why not you try going there. it won't dissappoint you. really =D

today, the 16th of august is my dad's birthday and is also PSLE MT oral day. it was so hard!! i didn't have anything much to say.. it was hard.. i was the 10th person to be tested. lucky not the first. i hate waiting for your turn cause it increases your agony of having to take the test. luckily i wasn't the last. i would like to be the fourth or fifth. miss loh was the time keeper for my team, 047. my testers were rather nice i must say, they smiled=D i don't know which school they're from but they're really nice i must say =] after my turn was foong hui's turn and i walked down the stairs with a spring in my step to the AVA room which was on the 4th level. in order not to pass by any testing rooms, we had to walk all the way down from the 5th level to the 3rd level, walk down the corridor to the nearest staircase to the bookshop and walk up one floor to the 4th floor. when i arrived, i signed against my name on the name list and sat down behind kelly. they left a space for me! how nice=D i made sure that jerrold followed by instructions to give kelly her sweet. he asked me for more but i just ate mine in front of him. muahaha. i threatened to tell foong hui his secret and he kept quiet. haha. girls rule! the teachers were playing the animated movie " cars " to entertain us. before i came, jun jie was singing one of the soundtracks. i doubt it was nice =P i gave jun jie and christopher each a sweet and jerrold still wanted more.
wanted to snatch it away from him and they were struggling to get it. one of the teachers was looking at them. at last, foong hui came and sat behind me. i gave her one and jun jie snatched it away.. christopher said, " none of my business horh.." and i said, " help foong hui la!" and he helped her get her sweet back. i had one left and gave pity on jerrold so i gave him the last one including the wrapper and foong hui's wrapper. he's a greedy little pig though he's not fat. actually, he's a little too small for his age.. haha! when the movie reached the most exciting part, we were dismissed... so we didn't get to finish the movie. sad... everyone was grumbling, saying that it was a bad timing. it was raining rather heavily and i walked with sarayu to her block and borrowed her umbrella. when i walked past school again, i saw my mom!! she was waiting for me! i totally forgot she was on leave today! she drove her in her boss's car. haha. i didn't have to walk home after all. i wonder how tomorrow's eng oral will be. hope it will be easy =) good luck to all P6!! esp 6A'07!!

today is the most embarrassing day of my P6 life... today is the 8 of August which is NATIONAL DAY EVE. now, you must think its really, really fun but when you have to do an Indian dance wearing a thick and ridiculous costume to dance on stage, i don't think so... my morning went like this...

i woke up when my sister's alarm rang.. she set it to 4.45am as her friend was coming over to make pratas they were supposed to sell in the bazaar( fun fair ) in their school later on. my sister made so much noise... she walked in and out of the room, each time closing the door behind her so loud as if to wake everyone in the neighbourhood... i didn't sleep a wink from 4.45 am until 6.30pm because she was so noisy.. anyway, i got out of bed only to find the whole house smelling like pratas.. so oily! my father sent my sister and her friend to school first before coming back to send me. muahaha. i was a little late and when i arrived at the red brick area where we were supposed to gather, practically everybody was there. i realised that i pinned my " 3-year " badge on the wrong collar and asked foong hui to help me re pin it. thanks fh!! we got into position and soon Mr Ho arrived. he was wearing a camouflage suit. you know the one they wear when there's a war? yeah he wore that. everyone cheered when he came as he doesn't wear anything different but long pants and a t-shirt in school. he even put on a cap which made him look so ridiculous.. no offence okay... when Mr Ho put it on, everyone laughed. HAHA! i was behind him, giggling away. we started the parade not long later. Mr Martin was our parade commander. he was dressed in white. as he shouted too much on our practices, he was losing his voice and when he shouted a command, some of them went out of tune. many pupils laughed but the contingents didn't. we marched in successfully, saluted when we sang the national anthem and said the pledge with pride. in the process, hui peng's sister was not feeling well and went aside to rest. another girl went faint and collapsed. the BB boy who held the FUHUA flag was not feeling well too and walked to one side to rest on a bench. luckily, no GB girls fainted or something. phew!! =D
miss taha, our principal, inspected us and talked to some of us in the front row. i was the last person and she said " Gail, you have many badges, how many years have you been in GB?" i replied " 4 years " and she said " keep up the good work." she seemed nice=) after we were dismissed, we rushed to change and get ready for the performance. i had to change into an Indian costume as we were supposed to dance to the song muneru valiba.. GB got that song for 3 years in a row!!! i was fuming when we received the news! Mrs maran helped prepare us for the performance.
after changing, mrs maran made us sit back stage while the other CCA groups could stay outside and watch others perform.. not fair!! we were sitting there sweating!! its was so warm in there.. when it was our turn to perform, everyone did the steps reluctantly as we hated that song.. jerrold was dancing and singing to that song while watching us. it was the most embarrassing moment.... ee!! can't believe i actually did it.. i was laughing through the whole dance as we were doing it very, very reluctantly... after the red cross performed, we prepared for the finale. it was the most fun! foong hui, rebecca, jerrold and issac sat at the back and we were laughing at jerrold dance to the song muneru valiba. haha! it was good. he should have took my place. at the end of the song " will you ", we threw the flowers wen wei was carrying. haha. it was so fun!!

after that, we were dismissed and i went to change back from my Indian costume to my GB uniform. now i know my GB uniform is more comfortable to be in than the Indian costume... ew.. on the way to the changing room, i saw miss taha and she asked me if i was going home alone. i said that i was going to change and then go home with my friend. looks like she's rather nice =) i made my way home with trixie and saw wanqi on the way, going for tuition. haha. i have been rushing to tuition after school for 2 days and now its her turn. wish her luck!!

on the Friday 3rd of August, my class fish tank got smashed by my classmate. i don't exactly know how but now i know she's really strong. i think she knocked the whole thing down onto the floor and the PLASTIC fish tank broke into pieces... all the water, which was A LOT, splashed onto the floor. as it happened during health education lesson, miss chee was present and she only let a few people near and made the rest sit at their places and those people couldn't do anything even if she wanted to... how annoying!
jun jie and rebecca rushed from their places at the other side of the classroom to save our adult and baby fishes which we loved a lot. we started using the broken plastic pieces of the tank to help push the fishes into containers filled with anxiety as they couldn't be picked up easily with our fingers. most were saved except for 1 i think. miss yeong rushed back to class to see what happened. she was shocked. miss yeong said that we saved all the fishes but there seemed to be a few less.. in the mean time, judy just stood aside, stunned and sad.
jerrold got up from his seat and started scolding her. he crossed the limit until she cried. some of my classmates shoes and socks were wet through and they had to go bare footed until their shoes and socks dried. li en accompanied the teary judy to the toilet to wash up. some of our classmates went to get mops but they forgot about pails.. kelly, miss yeong, rebecca and i mopped the water up. we got 4 mops from different toilets but no pails. haha! finally, christopher fetched the pail and we started to mop up the water. it was rather fun, i must say. khoon hwee wanted to go to the toilet and miss yeong didn't allow it. too bad! he's always going for no reason.. faking that he's urgent. HAH! he can't bluff miss yeong can he?! =P
it took quite a while to mop the water up. after the job was done, khoon hwee was allowed to go to the toilet anyway.. miss yeong gathered all the broken pieces of plastic on the floor with caution. after which she asked khoon hwee to throw the bag of plastic pieces away. she scolded jerrold, " jerrold chua chun hwee! how can you scold judy when all you did was stand there and scold her instead of helping to save the fishes when the " crises " happened?! by right you shoudln't be feeling sad or anything because you do nothing for the fishes! sometimes, judy feeds the fishes and she feels bad enough!" miss yeong was too angry to continue. jerrold said " miss yeong" and miss yeong snapped at him even before he finished his sentence, " you scold my girl i don't want to talk to you! " and we all laughed at him. i doubt anyone of us pity him as he deserved it for scolding judy.
it was a day which, i bet, everyone would remember. who knows, maybe 20years down the road, jerrold would meet judy and say," i remember you! you were the one who i scolded for breaking our class fish tank! and you even cried! " haha. we may never know=D
