Ah...the weekend. Nothing could ever smell sweeter than not-school.
So...a new year. A new class location. A new seating position. A new bunch of teachers etc etc...
It was a pretty darn good week I would say.
To begin with it started with my birthday surprise in the Ed Board room with Love Gang + Rachel Gan and Sean Beh. Nothing could possibly beat that as a year-opener. And to answer someone's blog post: Yes you guys made me happy. Very very happy indeed =)
The week was followed up by what could be considered as mini-miracles to say the least.
For one thing, Mr Wong KK is ACTUALLY teaching Physics.*cue expression of utter shock, awe and fainting*
Like, he spent the whole 2 periods talking about waves and demonstrating the different wave types rather than talking about being humble and having knowledge and going to Harvard and ZOMG I WAN TO DIE....We still don't know if the effects are permanent, but we're keeping our fingers crossed. And you know what? Now that he's teaching, it makes me want to actually learn Physics too. I guess it's because now that I see him taking the subject seriously I also feel compelled to learn it well too. Sigh...Why couldn't all this have happened last year? Oh well.
And then there was that magical moment when we were supposed to be having Moral class with Pn Chia but then the afternoon sessions students came and the Mr Song talked to Pn Chia for a while. And then while we were patiently waiting for her to start she just returned and said : Baik lah kamu semua boleh tamat satu waktu pagi hari ini.
............................YAY!!!!!
On Friday there was the Year Opening Mass organised by us the Catholic Students Society. After a week's worth of "rehearsals" (basically sanctioned ponteng), we finally managed to pull it off pretty ok, considering that the whole afternoon session and the teachers and Pn Lee Kim Lai and the Marist Brothers and all attended. Inevitably, there were a few blunders here and there, but at least the afternoon session students weren't talking too loudly and disturbing the mass.
But it was actually pretty scary because we had just learned about the church bombings that morning before mass started. And to compound things further Father Simon even used "the A word" again during the homily. Before I left school I even covered my CSS shirt, just to be safe. So yeah. Mass. In school. Church bombing. Very scary **** indeed.
As to personal things. Well. I am somewhat proud to say that Operation Renaissance is off to a start, if somewhat shaky. I still napped a little bit in the afternoon during the week, and napped even more today (Saturday). But at least I actually studied more than what I usually did
The even more awesome thing that happened this week was that I exercised!!! Oh yeah!
And it wasn't just the acuh tak acuh kind that I usually do. It was the kind where I was running for 2km! (on a treadmill), followed by 2.5km on the next try! I feel so psyched man!
All in all this was a pretty good week lah. Not counting the occasional slip-ups, my unfinished homework and some church fire-bombings, I actually kinda look forward to the weeks that come.
