today is such a great day, our slb investiture and finally the day when all of us sec 4s can finally step down.. it was definitely a very enriching and beautiful day.. well, mainly i was quite happy because i got to skip horrendous physical ed... hehehz.. anyway, we left after the second period.. but the first two lessons were also quite slack.. maths was the first period but PE only came in after 0830 because of some staff meeting.. and even though she still had about 20mins left, she still went on with some fire alarm thingy and what about natural disasters.. she even commented that singapore will even float out of the safe region surrounded by other neighbouring countries and be out in the open, suceptible to attack.. wow, what theory.. mrinnocent and i ended up speculating that singapore would probably float up to japan or even higher, where we would finally have a temperate four seasons.. soooo interesting.. in the end, she said that everyone's attendance would be quite important now.. and that whoever was absent for that day, his parents would be called up to find out the reason and that if any single student were not to be found in the school complexes etc., the school would not be dismissed.. that's taking it too far lehz.. well, there goes the days that i would want to stay home and study.. haiz.. anyway, after that lesson was chinese.. and we ended up just doing our maths papers (set d), and i listened music with mrinnocent too.. found out some really nice songs, 'mouse like big rice' included.. lolz.. the front is actually very nice but the chorus is just a little too overatted.. very nice though..

anyway, i found out that Li(aq) has a blog.. someone tell me lehz?

during the first rehearsal, ms saras just screamed her head off at us sec 4s for some techinical error that was overlooked.. ok, let me explain.. when the i-movie was supposed to finish, the curtains were supposed to close, then the sec fours would come in by the backstage carrying chairs to arrange on the stage and stand behind them.. but the technical glitch was that the curtains didnt close and we just rushed out to arrange the chairs.. then suddenly we found mr toh shouting at us abt whether we wanted the audience to see us carrying/moving the chairs.. we were dumbfounded because nothing was told to us about the curtains and all.. then ms saras just marched up to the podium and lectured us about whether we wanted to do things quickly and settle things quickly or doing things correctly.. and she said that if we were to keep doind so many mistakes, she was prepared to cancel the investiture to make sure that we wouldnt be invested.. everyone was already pissed and pespiring profusely as we were waiting so long outside the hall(by the sides) and we had to wait so long to get in.. by the time we went in, we were hot and bothered abt being squeezed in such a airless space where there was no wind at all and meeting up with this kind of mistake that we were not to be blamed for.. respecting for who she is, all of us kept quiet and just listening to the threats washing upon us.. by that time, i was so angry inside for being scolded for a mistake we didnt make (anyway minghui told us softly that it wasnt our fault just before ms saras came over to scold us).. anyway, i was all ready to thrash things out with her, i didnt even mind coming to screams and blows then.. boy was i mad.. when she was done, i noticed that some people were also quite pissed.. wilson just threw down his chair, but he didnt keep it up.. its not that i'm scolding her but for her to realise that it was not our mistake allowing her to see that she was maing false accusations and though she is a teacher, she is still not entitled to scold us for wrongs that we didnt commit.. so there, its all let out now.. :p

i just wanted to thank/comment on some people:

andrew/philip

cedric

"he's very zai lehz!" "such a big voice from a small stature".. well, great job! i know that you can go really far in choir(mr leong obviously heard you!) and council(i heard some plans for you already!)..

wilson
- thanks for being quite encourag(ey) during the rehearsal.. anyway, would really like to thank you for pulling me up and reminding me that we were not supposed to sit, straight after walking to our seats.. which i obviously did which is absolutely ditzy(atious) of me.. thanks alot man!

siu yat
- thanks for being such a great friend and reminding me to do stuff which i forgot.. thankz..

jon
- thanks for being such a great friend but would just like to remind you to stop spreading rumours abt others when you have lots of yourself that others can easily spread.. do to others what you want others to do unto you..

realised that council/slb is actually very supportive and warm on the inside.. finally that warm/fuzzy feeling that i once felt came back.. i guess being supportive is what seperates sls from others..

It's Just the Way We Are

We hold on to things the tightest,
wjen we are forced to let them go-
We always want things a certain way,
when we know they can't be so.

Dreams always last the longest,
when they are furthest from our reach-
And the lessons we can learn the most from,
are often the very ones we teach.

The grass is always the greenest,
when it lies on the other side-
And the truths we preach to others,
are often those we can't abide.

We hold fast to the things in a storm,
which are most likely to blow away-
And yet we neglect to wear sunscreen,
on a bright and sunny day.

We spend our time trying to see things,
when perspective is the one thing we lack-
And we never appreciate what we've got,
intil we can't get it back.

We expect the whole world to give us a break,
and yet ironically we find-
That when others come asking the same of us,
we tell them they're out of their mind.

We tell everyone what's wrong with this world,
and we do nothing to make it right-
We complain about families falling apart,
and yet do nothing to keep them tight.

We preach about loving our neighbours,
and we teach others right from wrong-
But we never set good examples for them,
when real chances come along.

We complain about not having enough time in our lives,
to do whjat we must do-
Yet if we were given more hours in the day,
we'd use up all that, too.

We desire to be close to all those we love,
yet all too often look on from afr-
And when it comes to the truth do we want to change,
or remain forever as we are?
