hello everyone!

i only reached home at about 12 plus yesterday, so wasn't able to blog yesterday. so i shall blog about yesterday today!

FRIDAY

in the morning, i woke up a lil earlier than usual, but i went back to sleep then i woke up again. i prepared myself, still half asleep, so i took longer than usual. but at least i managed to catch the bus this time round. when i reached the interchange, i saw people queuing up already. but it was a false alarm. in the end the bus wasn't actually moving off. but the people thought it was. so they went towards it, and got tricked. at least that's what i think happened. but soon, another bus uncle came. and the "real" bus arrived. oh, i forgot to mention, it was racial harmony day and i wore red top and jeans. but i still carried my good ole studious bag around =P but the red top i wore looked very primary school cause of the design motif

so i reached school, and rushed to the outside of the staff room to meet Ms. Foo. but she wasn't there yet. so i went back to class to put my bag first. then i went to meet Ms. Foo. she passed me the slip of paper and discussed with me some matter regarding the class attitude. the talked and later walked to the terraces for flag raising. after flag raising, i went to the staffroom, sneaked in illegally somehow with the helpof unaware teachers. but i am going in for legitimate reasons. have to find Mrs. Mok for CME interview continuation. Jonathan Quek came along too as Mrs. Mok had to speak to him. so i waited there and received stares from some teachers.. felt kinda intimidated and nervous. =\ but soon both of them came. Jon Quek was perspiring a lot. then Mrs. Mok talked to Jon Quek first. i guess parents these days are getting quite paranoid because they love and care for their children too much. sometimes parents could give a little space to their children at appropriate times. to let them fall and taste life themselves, so that their children would appreciate them even more. of course, don't let go totally. give suggestions, recommendations, but try never to give demands. children listen, just be patience and easy to talk to, then soon everything would go well, or at least better. that's what i feel and experienced. children also has to be open, and should never try to close themselves up from their parents or try to bar their parents out from their life. your parents know best, although sometimes they might use a very abstract or non-conventional way of delivering the message. i only realised this weeks ago, i hope the rest of the teens out there will soon find out that your parents just need input and a space for output. allow that, and you might be able to enjoy peace and tranquility. give input, allow space for their output, don't think that their ways are just plain simple and traditional and/or they just don't understand you. maybe they really don't, that's why you have to be frank with them. if there are people that would never lose hope on you. they are definitely your parents. i trust firmly in that.

so after Mrs. Mok talked to Jon Quek, she moved on to me. Quek gave her a small analysis about me. he spoke really nice stuff, and i felt quite bad cause i skived off in his ProEd Nite organising team =\ i told Mrs. Mok about that and she then asked Jon Quek about the incident. and i finally realised that sometimes i am an individual worker. i need my own personal space to work better and be more efficient. mhmm, i don't really know if that's good or bad...

and so, we waved goodbye to Mrs. Mok and went straight to Auditorium for racial harmony day movie screening. i thought it was quite ineffective. cause many people (sorry, but me included) tried to take a shuteye during the movie screening. but at least i woke up later i got to watch the more important parts. we watched the old film, "To Kill A Mockingbird" it's about racial discrimination in the USA during the 1930s if i'm not wrong, wait, or is it 1960s? mhmm, not very sure. lemme check google, wait a min.. oh okay, it was launched in 1962. which makes it a 1960s film. before that movie, we also watched a few clips produced by students from various schools regarding racial harmony. after the movie screening was literature. we went through "Drive". Ee Chu, Jon Quek and i are supposed to make a lesson package for next week too.

then there was recess, where i had mixed rice, AGAIN. but took green plate stall, like i was do during fridays. mhmm, what i did after that, i'm not very sure.. after recess was physics, when we went through the worksheet on Kinematics. after that was maths, teaching wasn't done extensively today. had file check, caring thinking module pre-briefing and a little time for people to finish their worksheets.

after that, i changed into my training attire but i still slipped my jeans as my running shorts are quite short and almost obscene >< up ="\"><>< so disgusting... okay, that's besides the point. so we went to Black Canyon cafe. we all had the student's meal which cost $5.50 per pax except Guan yu, which had nothing cause he said that he had dinner at home. we had out dinner, which was quite quiet cause most people were quite shag. Joelynn saw her friend, not sure if i am spelling it correctly.. umm, Athena? she looks physically appealing. yupp, gotta admit that she's pretty but not sure about the rest. if you know me well you'll know what i'm talking about (:

so after dinner, we went to send Qihan and Alf off home. we saw Joelynn and Athena trying to get a cabby. then Jia cong, Rachel and i "abandoned" Guan yu, Qihan and Alfred cause they tried to follow us although they had to go back home. Jia Cong was quite worried so she didn't want them to follow. and i think i misled Joelynn and Athena to take the cab near the bus stop and i think that made them miss one taxi... i'm so sorry! ):

then three of us went to serene centre carpark to wait for Rachel's mom to come. Guan yu called and he managed to "shake off" Alfred and Qihan and made them go back home. we met at the mac Donalds, or rather outside the macs. Rachel's parents soon came and we waved goodbye.. then Guan yu, Jia Cong and i discussed about where to go. and we went to Eco park! the small section of botanical gardens. we walked inside, and talked on the bridge, which was quite nice and close. talked about ourselves and stuff. we went off at about 10 plus. i saw black swans! graceful and pretty.. actually i can't really interpret what color it was cause of the bad vision due to the the dark setting. but with the reflections, it could look like a heart shape or even an inverted scorpion!

yupp, so we talked on the way out, about squirrels around the world =P almost missed the exit which was also the entrance. then we walked Jia Cong home and Guan yu walked me half way to the stop cause he couldn't take any bus home with any buses on the opposite road. and so i took the bus back. 852 came shortly. slept a lil while on the bus. then i went to take the feeder bus. here comes the comedy. i slept on the bus and i end up back in the interchange!!! haha, slpet throughout the ride. i went to 7 eleven and got a drink and then waited for the next 812, which came very shortly. then, i reached home, went to the toilet showered and slept. yupp, so that's what happened yesterday.

oooh, spent an hour and 19 minutes on the post. it's VERY looong i know.

lotsa love,
emma
