first day
:
The first day at school started on one of those notes you'd strike at the loss of an acquaintance.Not a close acquaintance,and not death of said person,just a small feeling inside that if you could you'd rather still be there.
The day started with me coming to school just a bit before I usually did,and down to the courtyard.People had...changed.Some of their hairstyles were different,some had different coloured spectacle frames,others with different shoes,etc.I wandered the place like it was the first time I'd ever been there.
After the morning's assembly,Mr Suresh came up to speak,and there was a sudden turning of the heads of the general student body to the left of the courtyard,and a loud whisper of the phrase,"New Teachers".Yes indeed,there were new teachers.Mrs Ng had left us,and so did Ms Kong.In their places,came the GUYS.(Godly Ugly Young Sirs.)One of them was to be the co-form teacher of 2C.My first impression,(which happens to be untrue) was,"Did he have a hangover?"
The school day formally began with a man with a stern voice entering the classroom.He introduced himself as Mr Chai,c/w big letters on the board.He was actually quite nice ^^.He asked us why we hated/loved history,and asked if any of us played comp games.To which I raised my hand.Everyone stared at me,so I asked,"What!Age of Empires 3 is nice!".I stated that I had mixed beliefs about History because it's fun to learn but the questions kill it off.
Enter Mrs Loh.She said we all had to work harder this semester,'cos we have 14 weeks left to study for final years.And I totally agreed,AND began taking down notes *cheering in background*.
Enter Ms Quek.She asked if we started on Roll Of Thunder,Hear My Cry.We didn't.So she explained its background to us,from slave trades to KKK.It seemed I was the only one responding.Really!She asked a person from each row to introduce themselves,and she pointed to me when it came to my row and said,"You,young lady,what is your name and what are your feelings about Lit?".Answered her with my classic answer:Mixed Feelings.
Went for recess.Came back and read a bit more Bushido for Reading.Then it was Chinese,where it was announced Mdm Er would take a new approach to teaching us *more cheering in background*.She'd take us to the library,the garden,anywhere that would inspire us to write.w00t.
Enter Mr Ang.Nice guy.Introduced himself,made us introduce ourselves.It came to me soon enough,and I expressed my desire to enter Broadway.I think.He gave us forms to fill out about ourselves.One of them said,"Describe yourself in one sentence."
My reply:"I am a completely mixed bag,and it is impossible to figure out how my mind works (because even I don't know sometimes)."
I also noticed the likes line was longer than the dislikes line.Heck.I wrote lots and lots of likes.I don't hate a lot now,I guess,so I wrote,"A certain group of people from my childhood."
Ms Thang's period.Same old,same old.
13 days to Cosfest V:The Reunion.
Next Monday's a day to work on it.
Konnichiwa,Oro-sama.
