First lesson was English, and the teacher was going through our compositions. Wow, I sure make a lot of grammatical mistakes, huh? And I'm proud of it!
The teacher was also wanting our marks to key into English CA. I'm surprised my blogging only got 22 (hey, my blogging is good, okay? :P), and my two compositions both got 18 each (mwahaha, I'm consistent). I'm surprised Yoshida's Art of Plagiarism can get him 29 in blogging. What an unfair world. (Edit made on 1 April 08: He told me he was copying stuff from Wikipedia and just dumbing it into his blog.)VL next. Can't remember what happened then. Must be thoroughly boring, so I believe we can skip lest you fall asleep.
Recess, whee. Was in the library reading on modern history. o.O
Then it was Chinese. Teacher was going through the answers for two cloze passages that we were required to do during the weekend. Made a bunch of mistakes and ended up with a low score of 5 and 6 respectively. -_- When the teacher asks (for both passages) who got 10 out of 10, I replied "kosong", which is Malay for "nil". (Edit made on 1 April 08: Faizal told me that "kosong" means "empty" though x_X) She asked nine, and I replied "kosong" again. She asked eight, and I again went "kosong", although someone raised her hand for the second passage. She asked for seven, I went "kosong" again. Lol, I think she's really mad at our lousy standard. XD
Had A. Maths test of Binomial Theorem on E. Maths lesson. Finally Yoshida can rejoice, after the test being postponed twice and him pointing the middle finger twice when the announcement for postpone was made (while the rest of the class is busily cheering). Before start of the test, after separating our tables, we joked around, saying "If I bang the table twice, I want you to show me your answer. If you do the same, I show you mine. Okay?" Then we banged the table around, lol. Then he asked "What if the guy across the classroom (we were sitting on the extreme left) bang his table twice?" I raised up my foolscap paper (empty, duh!) and flashed it to the right, rofl. Test was relatively easy, although I have no confidence of my score. :P
Due to having a lesson on dining etiquette, we were allowed to not only skip the next period (assembly), but to skip Chemistry after that as well! WHOOHOO!
Had our dining etiquette in Breeks restaurant. After looking at the website, I was forced to wonder, "If there is one so close only at Simei, why the heck must we go all the way to Marina Square?
Took the bus to Marina Square, lol. At first Yoshida thought it was next to Century Square, but when he confirmed it with Ephraim, the shorty replied that it is in Marina Bay. o.O And another guy (forgot who) mixes it up with Marina South. Rofl. Luckily there is a driver for the particular purpose. XD Bus went through ECP, past the 3/8 (at least from my estimation) completed Singapore Flyer (can't wait for its completion, to own teh London Eye XD), past Suntec City (where Yoshida punched the back of Ephraim's chair) and then to Marina Square where we alighted.
Walked a long way to get to the restaurant, and then it was required for a boy to go in with a girl. The whole class practically freaks out upon hearing that, and I was like "Oh my god... Must get Jasmine, must get Jasmine..." XD Lacking the courage to ask her directly (T_T Must train courage XD), I SMSed her, "Want or not? :P". She didn't reply. T_T Then half of the class went in (about 99% unwilling or forced to), and left with the other half, including me. So when the teacher started rushing, we were like "You go first, I follow you". XD Among us, Weiting went in first, and Ephraim decided to go in next. Jasmine followed, so obviously, I hastened to follow as well, shoving Yoshida out of the way as well. :P
Then ended up she went sitting with a whole table of girls. T_T Yoshida, Ephraim, Vernon and I (with the addition of Yong Jin from the other class when his class came) seated together in a table for eight ourselves. Isolation from others. XD (Unwilling isolation to be honest. T_T)
Now I sort of understand Harry Potter's feeling before the Yule Ball. Let me get Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire out and do some quoting.
A week ago, Harry would have said finding a partner for a dance would be a cinch compared to taking on a Hungarian Horntail. But now that he had done the latter, and was facing the prospect of asking a girl to the ball, he thought he'd rather have another round with the Horntail.After we are all seated properly, Jasmine SMSed me, "Want wad?" Sigh... Appetizers start being served. First was mushroom soup. The coach was teaching us to offer salt to the lady. And I was like looking around our table, blinking confusedly and going "what freaking lady?". Ah, then everyone turned to look at Ephraim. How can we forget her? XD I was joking around, "Oi, you want pepper or not? Want pepper ah? Okay, no problem!", take the imaginary pepper, unscrew the imaginary cap and proceed to happily, cheerfully and merrily pour down the entire imaginary content into Vernon's (who was sitting across me) soup. Whee! Lack of salt and pepper caused us to patiently wait. After a while, Vernon and Yong Jin, unable to stand waiting any more, decided to have a sip first. On the nasty look of Vernon's face, I thought I'd skip it, but then Yong Jin said "it wasn't bad". Waited a while more. Ephraim even asked a waiter for some. A long time later, the said waiter, with salt and pepper on the tray he is holding, promptly walks past us and gives them to the table on our left. Talk about great service. Then again, it's free, shouldn't be demanding for so much. Sighing and accepting our 'fates', the three of us started drinking it as well. First time drinking soup can be such a pain in the ass, with crappy and shitty rules and regulations. Note to self: When I start working and I need to go out for lunch or dinner with a client for business purposes, bring him or her to a coffee shop and not a high-class restaurant.
'Why do they have to move in packs?' Harry asked Ron, as a dozen or so girls walked past them, sniggering and staring at Harry. 'How're you supposed to get one on their own to ask them?'
But every time he glimpsed Cho that day - during break, and then lunchtime, and once on the way to History of Magic - she was surrounded by friends. Didn't she ever go anywhere alone? Could he perhaps ambush her as she was going into a bathroom? But no - she even seemed to go there with an escort of four or five girls. Yet if he didn't do it soon, she was bound to have been asked by somebody else.
He'd just have to ask Cho for a private word, that was all ... he hurried off through the packed corridors looking for her, and (rather sooner than he had expected) he found her, emerging from a Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.
'Er - Cho? Could I have a word with you?'
Giggling should be made illegal, Harry thought furiously, as all the girls around Cho started doing it.
Salad was next. I ate everything, including the carrots, lettuces (or so I think they are o.O), cabbages (or so I think they are too o.O) and rings that look like cucumbers to me. Ephraim ate everything except the rings, and by when I had finished, that shorty finally tells me it's onion. Oh gawd. -.- The freaking fork is so difficult to use for salads, and Yong Jin was using it like a spoon. Clever guy, but then again, can we just have a freaking spoon? Vernon, with a dislike for vegetables, would no sooner eat even two bites of the salad (he was forced to eat one bite. Yes, forced) than stop watching pornography. Yoshida and Yong Jin had a bit of salad left over here and there.
Next was main dish. There were chicken or fish for us, and Vernon and I were like "We want chicken!" Ephraim and Yoshida had no preference, and Yong Jin wanted to look at its appearance first, lol. The coach stressed that we are not allowed to switch or change plates, lol. Three fish dishes were sent to our table, to Ephraim, Yong Jin and me. It looked delicious. Next came chicken. No offense, but it looked unappetizing. Vernon could not stop complaining, while Yoshida wanted to cut the bone with the knife to inspect the bone marrow. o.O I'm kind of glad I got the fish. :D We finished even before the others were served (well, Vernon just abandoned his chicken halfway. That guy seriously loves to waste food -.-). W00tness for speed.
It was a looooooooooooooong time to dessert, so the five of us decided to pay the bathroom a visit. Was a looooooooooooooong way to toilet. Vernon and Yong Jin went inside the cubicles (with Yong Jin's flashing 'Please Watch Your Steps' outside o.O) while Yoshida and I used the urinals. There was a mirror reflecting our faces, and Yoshida was staring at his reflection for a looooooooooooooong time before he goes, "Why is there a guy staring at me?" XD Rofl. XD Ephraim went missing. Again, Yoshida and I were looking downwards as if searching for a cat and going "Ephraim! Oh, Ephraim! Where are you?"
Desert was a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and a small slice of chocolate cake. Ephraim was like "Eat first before [ice-cream] gets cold." Wow, I see. Yoshida and Vernon were complaining that they wanted strawberry ice-cream. o.O Come on, it's free, and they still want to demand? Win already lor.
We then went back. Was again listening to music on my handphone during the trip. Rained while it was in ECP, and I thought it'd rain in Tampines as well, so I called my father to fetch me with his car. Apparently, it was not raining there, and he thought I was too tired to walk home. XD Passing Tampines Mart, I saw him riding my bike. -_-
End of blog entry. Chop-chop.
