These 2 days have been quite eventful. For different reasons of course.
I think I can sum yesterday up in 4 simple words: Maths, is, absolutely, CRAZY! No one finished the paper. I mean. 45 mins for so many qns. damn siao. The funny thing is, the 1st page looks damn innocent. Questions are like ok, straightforward, and do-able. Then flip to the next page, and proceed to scream OH ****(Fill in word that suits how vulgar you really are) at the top of your voice. Everyone is gonna do badly man, except maybe shoujian. lolx.
Thankfully today was eventful for the right reasons. Had swimming for PE. Initially thought that swimming would be super boring, albeit relaxing. Yet Mr Kwan let us play water polo in the 1st lesson! And no crazy 10-20 laps of boring, non-stop swimming. Teams were organised into ur typical even vs odd reg.no, and even nos. got thrashed. And I noticed something man. Sean has these super freakishly long arms. It's like you have the ball in front of you, then suddenly this long hand extends from dunno where and scoops it away from you. Damn funny. Still, could not beat the moment when Spencer, who had been camping in goal for the whole thing wall-hugging, threw the ball like 3 metres to shoujian even when he had galaxies of space and eternities of time to pick the ball up and throw it out. It's like pple caming at the other end were screaming non-stop for the ball, yet it just plonked into the water like 20 metres away from them, inviting the other team to pick it up and score.
Then came History. Library Activites room as usual, but this time had some dialogue session with this rep from MOE about the way singapore history was written. Now I'm not gonna bore you with a review of that dialogue itself, although it was quite intriguing. The funny thing that happened here, was that halfway through the thing, there was a blackout, and the whole library activities room was pitch black. Then there are 2 doors at the back of the room leading to this narrow, quiet hallway. Then the doors had these tiny windows which let dim, almost moody light from the hallway to come in, so it was really quite eerie man. Made everyone rush to pull out their handphones and turn on their camera lights. haha. And we continued the discussion in that eerie setting for like 5mins. quite an experience.
After History came maths, miserable as usual, so nothing to talk about.
Prefects' Investiture was quite cool I guess. Shoujian opened the show driving the remote controlled car like some drunkard, turning all over the place and crashing into chairs. Haha. Then someone who was desperate for attention somehow thought he'd steal the show by reaching out and sticking a finger on the car to stop it for like 1-2 seconds. Shoujian must have felt like picking up a random solid item within his reach and just throwing it at guy lor. Nothing better to do. lol.
They invited another random old rafflesian back to be Guest of Honour. I bet they have this long list of old rafflesians, then they call all of them till they find someone actually interested in returning back to RI. lol. When the teachers walked in
someone stopped his clapping at certain intervals when
certain teachers walked past us, so that was damn hilarious. Paul Lim came back to grace the occasion. Shld have made him the GoH, instead of some random guy no one in the hall knew, whom HM and the emcee had to pretend to know so well and have complete respect for all his acheivements and blah. I like how the prefects walked in at the start. Exco from behind, then the 2 lines of members coming in from the side and merging in the middle. Quite cool. And their timing was almost perfect. dunno how bloody long they spent rehearsing. Then at the end they sang and danced(although it wasnt much of dance) to Lighthouse family's High. Nice song. I think the PB sounded better than the original singers. Who sound quite weird somehow.
Once again. MATHS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!! X_X
