::one week's stuff::
Ok, so I didn't blog for one week already. I almost wanted to discard this blog. It's so troublesome to update this everyday. Let's start from last, last saturday.
::Saturday::
I went to Qiao Nan Primary for the service learning programme. I was kind of sick that day, didn't really want to go in the first place. Was walking really slowly towards the school, then suddenly (well, not really suddenly), these 2 primary school boys walked out of the school. One of them held a tennis bat (or what's the proper term?) in front of his face. I was wondering who that was. Most probably is someone who knows me. Anyway, I was too sick to bother, so I just walked past him. When he was just beside me, he exclaimed: "WAH! She don't remember me already ah?!" Well, of course I know who he was (even though I didn't look at him directly). He was like the new friend I made during the mentoring programme during the June holidays. Ha! Actually I didn't expect him to remember me. Quite a nice feeling to know that some kid remembered you even though you met them only once. That day was also the meet the parents day. My dad was quite pissed with the teacher cos she didn't tell the woman who cut the queue off. I had to restrain him so that he will not embarrass himself in public. Thankfully the teacher quickly apologised when it was my father's turn. Or else.. Well, what could possibly happen? Actually I prefer my mom to come with me for such meetings. But she wasn't free that day. Ok. Let's move on to Sunday now.
::Sunday::
I finally managed to get my dad to buy a new phone for me. I had quite a hard time deciding which phone to get actually. For the whole morning, I was thinking whether to buy the Samsung or Nokia model. Finally I decided to get the Nokia one cos my Sis said the Samsung model looked awful. I didn't regret getting the phone. Well, except that it wasn't really user friendly. I didn't manage to trade in my 8310 cos the vibrating alert wasn't working. It was really weird cos it was working fine in the morning when I was testing it. Ok. I got a confession to make. While I was waiting for my turn to get the phone, I swung the bag which contained the phone around and it landed with a thud on the floor. That must have spoilt it. Damn. The worst thing is that when my father tested the vibration alert on the last Sunday, it was working fine!!! So there's one thing off my wishlist!! Hahaha!! We shall skip monday and go on to tuesday.
::Tuesday::
Had the toughest PE that day. The teacher forced us to run one round around the track in 2 minutes. If one member of the class was unable to do so, we would have to run again. So we ran a total of 3 rounds. Fun, isn't it? Of course not!! It was a pure torture!! I hate PE now. Skip wednesday, going on to thursday.
::Thursday::
Got my NEWSWEEK magazine that day. Was quite shocked that they featured the NEW (catch that? it's NEW!!) IPOD. I was quite disgusted. Why is it that when I got the one this year, it wasn't the new one?? DAMN!! I was really quite pissed. SO, I brought my IPod, without the skin and asked my friends which one was nicer. I feel so stupid doing that actually. There was PE again today. This one wasn't as bad, but it was still bad. I worry for NAPFA. Although it's still quite some time away. I don't want to fail it.
::Friday::
Went to watch the House of Flying Daggers with my sister on friday. It was a much better movie as compared to Hero, which was also directed by Zhang Yimou. The plot was quite normal, but the colours were very vibrant and scenery beautiful! Nice score too. But may be too arty for some people. The ending was kind of lame. The female protagonist seemed to resist death even though the dagger stabbed her heart already. I was ready to step out of the cinema but I resisted that. The finale was interesting. Well, not very very amusing, but interesting enough to make me like that movie. Finally saturday.
::Next Saturday::
There's this IP (Integrated Programme) open house today at the school. Being part of CO, I had to turn up. Actually I don't see much sense in the whole thing. So few secondary school kids came. And when we performed our pieces, nobody was listening and we had to clap for ourselves. Pathetic. Anyway, we were supposed to rope in those hopefuls into the orchestra, so we went around asking. It was quite a failure I would say. I even mistook a primary school kid for a secondary school student. Argh. How embarrassing. Now about what happened yesterday.
::This Monday::
I was kind of sick yesterday. My brain was aching like hell from the time I woke up. It sort of got worst when I reached school and I was thinking if I should go home. But in the end, I still stayed cos I had an interview. Seriously, I think we don't need so many people to interview one person, but, oh well. I think that the interview was quite successful. It was much better than the 1st one. The lady was quite kind and she tried to answer our questions with substancial (i think I spelt that word wrongly) answers. She even agreed to help us find more interviewees and gave us suggestions on what we could do (which I thought was quite interesting).
::Today::
Today I discovered something about some people. I was really disgusted. Why people like to deceive me so? (Do I sound kind of dramatic here?) Yeah, so what exactly happened? It's quite a long story, and I am kind of lazy to spell everything out here. So let me write something else first. This morning, I sent an email to the dentist to confirm my appointment tomorrow. About 1 minute later, my father came to tell me that my mom's not free to bring me there tomorrow so I had better cancle the appointment. Boy, was I pissed. (I realised that my vocabulary's kind of limited.) There's CO sectionals today. I was such an idoit to wait in the CO room for my SL to come. There were already practising when I was waiting like a dumbo. Actually I wasn't really pleased because they didn't tell me earlier where they were practising. But nevermind. It's my fault. Ok, back to the story part. I finally discovered who was the real asshole in the school today. That fellow is such a .... I don't know how to describe him. I don't know how to phrase the sentences properly here. All I can say is that he treats me (or believes that) I am/as a brainless person, lying to me about some simple little things that need not be covered up. I bet he must have thought himself as very smart or whatever to be able to trick me. Thinking about that incident makes me feel like a fool. Why was I so gullible? And it's not the 1st time people tried to bluff me and make believe that something was for real. It's not exactly very enjoyable for the poor victim. And I am extremely disgusted to find out that he was exactly such a person. BLEAH!!!!
