Racial Harmony SUCKS

Make no freaking mistake, Racial Harmony SUCKS. Well, the actual Day (as in Racial Harmony Day) sucks more, which is what I am refering to, but my first sentence, even with or without the "Day", is still correct either way. But before I move on there, let me just blog about life in general...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming tomorrow, yay. Delivered right at my doorstep, whoohoo. Can't wait, lol. But wait, I CAN wait. Because I got to finish reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince first before that. Wish me luck, doubt I can finish reading *checks number of pages* 607 pages *gulps* in one day. XD

And yeah, there's a section in Bleach volume 28 I quite like, lol. The team of Ichigo, Ishida and Chad went to Hueco Mundo and found the team of friendly Arrancar siblings. Ichigo realized that they are actually Arrancar, and they started chatting about them. (Note: I don't know the Arrancar girl's name, so I'll just call her Arrancar, or 破面 in Chinese, as, after all, my manga is in Chinese XD)

破面:这么说来,其实你们还比较像是破面呢!没有面具,又穿着黑衣,好像是死……
Arrancar: Come to think of it, you guys actually look more like Arrancar! You have no mask, and you are wearing black clothes, just like Death...
破面:啊…请问…你们的职业是…?
Arrancar: Ah... Excuse me... but what are your occupations...?
一护:黑崎一护,代理死神!
Ichigo: Kurosaki Ichigo, Death God representative!
石田:灭却师,石田雨龙!
Ishida: Quincy, Ishida Uryuu!
茶渡:茶渡泰虎…我是人类!
Chad: Sado Yasutora... I am a human!

And just look at the reactions of the Arrancar after the introductions! XD



Okay, on to school life. Racial Harmony Day sucks. -.-

Almost everyone turned up wearing those stupid ethnic costumes. Pfft. So those muggers outcast us, those who wear our school uniforms, like Yoshida, Vernon, Wei Sheng and me. So they are all like, "Yay, we are wearing ethnic costumes! Let's take photos omgomg!" *rolls eyes* So yeah, we found ourselves sitting at a table (the location of the table changes frequently), you staring at me and I staring at you, with nothing to do. Yeah, class spirit. *rolls eyes* We started playing cards. The teacher's not happy about it. *rolls eyes* We were forced off to one side, staring at each other for several hours. Outcasted. Exiled. Banned. Yay, how fun. *rolls eyes*

Ephraim borrowed some ethnic costume from Faizal, so he's supposed to belong to the main group of muggers, but he just keeps coming to us, so then we kiddingly tried to in-turn outcast him, so he's being outcasted by the outcasts. XD Anyway, yeah, boring period of hell. I can see how our class spirit is building up really well.

So what did we, the outcasts, do? We, of course, did a bunch of stupid shit to entertain ourselves.

Yoshida got a piece of paper somewhere and folded a paper airplane. He threw it down, hoping to hit one of the bangla workers at the site of so-called construction, but he missed due to strong winds and it ended up...



Next, we got pieces of used paper, shred them, roll them into balls and threw them down from the storey where our class it, aiming them at the opened dustbins at the first floor. XD

Once, Yoshida wanted to whack Ephraim, for some reason I forgot. Ephraim got his arms up for self-defense, so I playfully interfered and grabbed his arms so he can't use them to defend himself. Yoshida started whacking Ephraim's head, and that's when Particle E raises his legs and tried to kick Yoshida for defense. Yoshida, in turn, grabbed his legs and pulled his shoe out. He put it on top of the door, which is definitely a height Ephraim can never reach. XD Reminds me of the movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Luna Lovegood found her shoes hang at a high place. XD But yeah, I told Ephraim that even if he cannot reach his shoe, he still can get it, but after that I showed him the solution, by kicking the door hard, and his shoe dropped onto the floor. XD

And yeah, I went to take a photo of the "backyard" of our school, due to extreme boredom. Wonder what that "structure" looking thing at the bottom of the photo is...



And so we, the outcasts, wasted two hours just like that. That's why I said I HATE Racial Harmony Day. And oh, and Racial Harmony too while we are at it.

Then, it is an hour and a half of recess. Not like we need it. Wei Sheng, Ephraim, Yoshida, Vernon, Yuhaimi and I stayed in the classroom to play card games, lol. We played Big Two, Cheat! [Yoshida's really good at mind games, lol. Once, he said he played "X" (no one in his right mind would go and remember exactly what cards each player plays at a certain period, so I'm going with "X"), and we knew full well that he had "X" in his hand, so we didn't call "cheat!". Later, he played "X" again, so naturally we all shout "Cheat!". Turns out the card he played IS "X", the first time he said he played it, it actually wasn't "X". T_T So second time, he said he played "X" (not exactly the same "X" as last time, lol). I thought he was pulling that trick again, so I called "Cheat!" It IS "X". -.- And another occasion, Wei Sheng accused Yoshida of cheating, when he didn't, so Yoshida said, "Wei Sheng, how can you think that I was lying? You broke my heart! T_T" XD Yoshida later calls Cheat! "the lying game" XD], Fishing, Blackjack, and other stuff. XD Then some stupid teacher comes and we have to go off (one, we are not supposed to stay in the class. Two, we are not supposed to play cards XD). *rolls eyes*

Vernon and I went down to the canteen. We took a walk around. Nothing much to buy. Vernon bought a can of 100-Plus from the drinks store, and then we went back to class half an hour early. Back at the class, there were only two groups, one group of Luke, Sean, Samuel and some punk from other class, and another group of Yuhaimi, Vernon and I. We were playing Big Two, when that group started playing Alones, the sixth opening of Bleach, on the guitar and singing. I took out my handphone and played the video clip of Alones. XD Handphone is better than guitar. *nods*

Vernon and I ended up playing Stress, in which Wei Sheng returns to class and watch us play halfway. We played several rounds and I only won once, lol. My thinking is laggy. X( During the game, Ephraim SMSed Vernon asking where we are, lol. Vernon didn't bother replying, rofl.

Time to do some stupid shitty fucking fucked-up Harmony Rug thing. They fucking expect fucking students to fucking sew fucking shit? Fucking fuck it, man, no fucking way! We fucking come to fucking school to fucking learn and fucking study, not to fucking sew some fucking shit! And just how the fucking hell is fucking sewing some fucking shit supposed to fucking help fucking Racial Harmony? Fucking fuck it, man!

I feel better. Much better.

Sorry for the f-words, lol. Here's a paragraph without those meanie meanie words that has the same meaning. *rolls eyes*

Time to do some Harmony Rug thing. They expect students to sew? No way, man! We come to school to learn and study, not to sew stuff! And just how is sewing stuff supposed to help Racial Harmony? Screw it!

That one hour was better off used to do A. Maths, which is exactly what I did. One hour, used it to do Logarithm questions. Now I feel extremely confident about my Logarithm questions-solving skills. XD

Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon were doing that shit, though. Yoshida spent five minutes drawing a Death God with a scythe, and they pasted it onto a cloth. Next, Yoshida came to me, borrowed my black marker, and used it to outline it. And it's done.



A pity the teacher didn't want to use it. XD

I like Wei Sheng's rug. He meant for it to be a crab, but it just looks so much like a freaking stadium, I find it funny how everyone can come, look at his work and go, "Hey, nice stadium there!". XD The teacher walks past, comments, "Hmmm, very good, a nice stadium." I freaking laughed out loud, rofl, and the teacher went, "Why? What's wrong? What's so funny?" XD

Wei Sheng borrowed my scissors to do his rug. Later, he returned it to me, so I took out my pencil box from my bag, wanting to put the scissors back in, but I poked my thumb accidentally with the sharp tip of the compass (the one you use to draw circles) inside my pencil box. Ouch. X( There was blood, lol, so I borrowed Vernon's tissue. After the bleeding stops, I went to Ephraim and asked him to open his mouth so I can throw my tissue away (specifically, in his mouth XD). Yoshida found a scissors and imitated cutting his thumb, though he ruined it by imitating drinking his blood. I got the meaning anyway, and smacked him for it. :P (He's implying that I'm stupid enough to get myself injured, by the way.)

EDIT: (Note: This is an edit done several hours after the blog post has been initially finished.) Just now while reading Harry Potter, I came upon this:

'Well, at least you know one lesson you'll be having this year, that's one more than Ron and me. I wonder when our O.W.L. results will come?'
'Can't be long now, it's been a month,' said Ron.
'Hang on,' said Harry, as another part of the previous night's conversation came back to him. 'I think Dumbledore said our O.W.L. results would be arriving today!'
'Today?" shrieked Hermione. '
Today? But why didn't you – oh my God – you should have said –'

Hermione's "oh my God" reminds me of something that happened in school that I forgot just now. Yoshida, Ephraim and I went to check the completed harmony rag so far at that time, after Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon are done with their Death God rag and me bored of doing any further A. Maths questions. One of them had something that was white and shaped like a boat to me, with a smiley face drawn onto its center. It looks like a tissue to me, so I figured it is made of tissue, but I wasn't sure whether is it really a tissue or not, so I asked Ephraim and Yoshida. Dirty-minded Ephraim thinks it's a sanitary pad. X( Yeah, I thought he was just joking, but after a while, several of the girls started gasping, "Oh my God...!" What it really is, I will never know, but for the sake of pure minds, let me happily and merrily continue assuming that it is made of tissue papers glued together, eh? X(


Then we had to do some stupid survey. Since what I wrote was mostly negative (hard to not understand why, after being outcasted and shit. They are lucky that they, who outcasted us, are of the same race as us, or we'll accuse them of Racial Outcasting and use the accusation to do some Racial Disharmony ), I couldn't possibly write my real name, right? I even messed up my handwriting, to not make it look like it was me. XD I mean, why the shit do you have to write your name for a survey? Would the answers still be honest after the guy writes his name? No, dammit! Of course, this is too much of an injustice to not vent my frustration, so I had to hide my identity instead. So, I thought for a while for a name to use, and I ended up writing, "黑崎一护" at the blank, and under it, write "代理死神". XD Yeah, I got it from Bleach volume 28, where Ichigo, Ishida and Chad introduced themselves to the Arrancar. XD Okay, here's hoping whoever is doing shit with the survey doesn't read this, because then, my identity would be exposed immediately. X(

Vernon wrote negative crap too, but he didn't bother masking his handwriting, haha. He thought of a name, but didn't think of it as good enough, so he turned around to Fym's table and "borrowed" (he just took without asking or permission, by the way) her eraser, use it, turn back and put it back. He then thought of another name and wrote it, while Fym started packing. Then Vernon made a mistake, turns back, and realized that Fym has already packed her pencil box, so he asked for an eraser. Fym took out her pencil box, unzipped it and lent him her eraser. Vernon used it, returned it, and Fym started packing again. Vernon made another mistake, so turned back, and asked for the eraser again. I was laughing uncontrollably at that time. Fym took a while, and that's when Vernon realized the presence of the eraser at the other end of the pencil (which actually was Sze Ling's, by the way XD), so he used it, but Fym didn't notice and took out her pencil box from her bag and her eraser out of her pencil box AGAIN, this time for no ultimate purpose. Rofl, all this trouble for Fym just because Vernon "couldn't write his name right". XD XD XD Yeah, it's extremely funny if you think of him as writing his own real name and just not some alias (I can't pronounce this word T_T), it's like he couldn't even write it without making some stupid mistake. XD I read the name he spent three minutes writing, during which he slightly irritated a girl. Some German name. o.O Heil Hitler! o.O Since when does our class have a German? O.o At least my name sounds more convincing, we have a Japanese here. *looks at Yoshida* XD

I went to take the photo of the rug Vernon, Ephraim and Yoshida did (which was rejected by the teacher), so that's why I got the picture up there. XD Then, Yoshida decided to take the picture too, but in negative effect, to make it looks scarier. XD I'll invert the colour of the photo so you can tell how scary the picture is now in negative effect. XD



So in the end, Yoshida, Ephraim and Vernon spent an hour doing that rug for nothing, rofl. Yoshida took it, and left it on the handle of the staircase we were climbing down on our way out of the school. I thought it was a pity to leave it there, and thus I took it, but Yoshida told me he only spent five minutes drawing it, and that he can draw another one, lol, so I left it outside some classroom. If only I can see the reaction of the people in that classroom after they found the picture of a scary Death God outside their class. XD Wonder if their reaction would be better or worse than the reaction of the Arrancar after Ichigo, ishida and Chad's introductions? XD

And we went home. Blog end, byebye. *goes off to read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*

EDIT: (Note: This is an edit done several hours after the blog post has been initially finished.) I was reading Harry Potter at the living room when the news was on TV. Number of couples marrying today doubled, according to the news, just because of today's date, leading me to just realize that today is 20/07/2007, lol, or 20.07.2007, whichever method you prefer to write your dates. Well, I only realized it now, since I prefer to write my date as "20 July 07". XD Yeah, I've switched from writing the number of the month to spelling it out since Primary 5 (that's five years ago, by the way), since my form teacher then insists on us spelling out the month, and it kinda got stuck, haha.

Then that reminds me of Elsen's birthday today, which in turns reminds me of last year (a year and a day ago, to be exact), on 20/06/2006 (or 20.06.2006, whatever *rolls eyes*), when Fym came to my blog and tagged, informing me of the date and that it also coincides to be Elsen's birthday on that day, lol. Interesting how I can still remember that piece of information, haha. Wonder if it is still saved in my tagboard's "history" of messages?

Which got me confused. So is Elsen's birthday on 20 June or 20 July? Did Fym make a mistake last year, or did the entire class make a mistake today (highly doubtable, though ^_^")? Who knows? XD

Okay, I'm going back to reading Harry Potter...

And while I'm at it ('it' referring to typing the ending of this post), can you imagine a country that has near 100% of the population being Chinese, like China and Taiwan, but yet is as small [I prefer living in small countries like Singapore. What's the point of your country being big? You need to spend a long time on traveling (the thought of traveling from Singapore to Genting comes to my mind), and I've heard that Americans, especially those who live inland, had to wait for months to enjoy going to the beach! (Remember that America is a big country) So I'll prefer living in small countries, thank you very much], as pwnage [well, it may sounds kinda stupid to say this, since it's my own country and all, but there's no other country (that I've visited so far anyway XD) better than Singapore XD] and as technologically advanced (I can't imagine life without computer and Internet. ...Wait, I can imagine life without Internet. That's how I've been spending these ten days or so...) as Singapore? Man, that country would be paradise. I'm sooooooo going to emigrate/immigrate [whichever one is correct, I can differentiate x10 + 2x9 - 3x8 + 4x7 - 5x6 + 6x5 - 7x4 + 8x3 - 9x2 + 10x - 11 (and to prove it, I'll differentiate it. 10x9 + 18x8 - 24x7 + 286 - 30x5 + 30x4 - 28x3 - 18x + 10. :P), but I can't differentiate between emigrate and immigrate XD] there!

Yes, of course, I'm beating around the bush and indirectly saying that Racial Harmony Day sucks. Funny how what happened in school can lead me to dislike celebrating Racial Harmony... XD

Okay, I'm really going back to reading Harry Potter now.
