Miracles do not happen, they are created.

I received a set of samples for my unit photo on 21 Aug with no nominal roll for order. Nevertheless, on Thursday itself, I completed 19 orders out of 27 Sec 4/5 cadets and 4 JC Cadet Officers. The following day four more down, with five of the other eight not in the photos.

After the weekend of very exciting Beijing Olympics closing, I returned to what I really regard as my final dip into duty.

I got no information to collect money for them only until 25/08 afternoon and within 35 minutes of recess on 26/08, I settled more than 75% of those who ordered. But until now, I have still $6 floating out there.

Okay, then 27 Aug came the 'okay lah, still can' EL Prelim. Well, about 98.34% of the people (Sec4 Exp of GESS) would say that if you asked them. If you're within the other 1.68%, either I warn you, don't be complacent or I comfort you, well its only a Prelim Exam.

Our class was left with 24 people on Thursday (surprisingly, 12 girls gone and only 4 guys disappearing and three of these four idiots are part of the Black Parade). All teachers were shocked, for example Mr AJ greeted us by "Good morning to what's left of your class". The whole day everyone got no mood to study but just slacked around, play with calculator and draw picture on whiteboard, etc.

Then Friday's teacher's day was a great great blast. I'll give a 7/10 rating for the whole event, but this is how its broken down:
ACES Exercise: 2/2
Teachers Awards: 2/2
Concert: 1/2
Dedications: 2/2
Student Leaders: 0/2
I heard we got 3rd for skipping, amidst alleged cheats from our closest competitors 5B and 4C. Teacher's Awards, fun cheering. After that recess so went around and wished teachers. Then we invented tonnes of bustering songs. Concert, not that satisfying besides botak part. Dedication time was a great time.

After the celebration I planned nicely with my bro to visit our ex-principal now at Greenwood Primary in Admiralty. Unfortunately Bendemeer Sec delayed their damn fucking thing to end at 1315, which left me stranded at Tiong. Luckily, I sent sms-es out and SY was kind enough to come and so lunch not alone.

We decided against revisiting Poi Ching, so I got to Dhoby Ghaut at 1330 and boarded the train for a long 11-station ride to Yishun. Worst of the worst happened. Chongfu was sealed off by security, and we later knew from Mdm Foo that Ms Phua is in NIE for course. We made our way to Greenwood through MRT and managed to reach Greenwood by about 1515. Well, this year it is more eventful than the previous, Mdm Foo is so busy and there is Lower Primary Sports Day going on. There is even one kid whose head was bleeding and Mdm Foo personally attended to him/her. Imagine the principal dressing your wound. How would it feel?

So we caught the Lower Primary Sports from the second race onwards. All was P1, and it reminded me on my P1 times. Flashes of memories surfaced in my mind. Well, of course, P1 was difficult to control and it was chaotic. This became worse when someone's MP3 played through the system suddenly played Spongebob theme song. The whole hall, even competitors, was like cheering and singing as if it was a holy song or whatever. Went home at about 1630. Then sent an email to Mr Chee stating our apologies and wishes.

So Saturday, woke up late, play and can't study at all until we went KFC at Potong Pasir when it started raining within the first hour. Its about 4pm then and had to rush to Toa Payoh at 5 for some relax tuition and study (not me, tuition is an insult to my intellect). Nevertheless, weaving in between shelters and avoiding the rain is more fun than running in it. So reached Blk 143 Toa Payoh at 1645 drenched and shoe-broken (the sole of my right shoe came off). This shoe dates back to two years ago. It was one I scaled my first mountain with and with it, I twisted my right ankle. What a coincedence, its only 50-50. Lol. That was December 06 in Sarawak with GESS NCC for Sec2 Expedition. Back to current, we waited very long outside the door, until the 'master' of my two 'juniors', who got a GO for Reservist IPPT, came at 1815. Study all the way, break for dinner only and no Wii. But I feel quite accomplished too. I have polished my Amaths now very close to gold.

Sunday supposed to be study, study, study but I delayed for 6 hours and nothing much accomplished besides a well-planned holiday schedule. I hope I really can abide closely to my new schedule now. But for everything, just take it easy.

1. Happy Teachers Day
2. Happy Holidays
3. Happy சுத்து (Suthu) Day
4. To Vin and Kz, All the best for Senior Spec.

Now I'll go collect some money on Facebook and make myself something to fill my empty stomach after that. Bye.
