Wow! That was totally amazing! I actually put down my Harry Potter to blog! Well, anyway, I had loads to say so I felt much better blogging anyway. [Am I doing justice to my book?] Everyday [as always] started out seemingly normal and boring. Went about my daily business. Washing up, breakfast and more recently reading my newly acquired Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix. Was going to meet up with M later. So I met her at twelve noon and decided to eat lunch. Did not really get to eat because no one really felt hungry. Bought some bread to chew on. We walked all the way down to school, got there quite early. I was not very willing to get into the school compounds. Those NCC people were guarding the doors like some security guards waiting to chase people away. Seriously! They should change their recruitment tactics. M pulled me into the school without much difficulty. And as usual, I was grumbling and moaning and hoping to get the hell out of there. I was really worried that I would be chased out. Talked to 2 teachers briefly. They must have forgotten my name. Oh well. At least they still remember vaguely who I am. I was really uneasy. And I always wanted to just run out. We walked across the assembly plaza. Then something really unexpected happened. My juniors actually greeted me!!! For the first time!! Oh my goodness!!!! I am extremely grateful for that by the way. But I must confess that I can't recognise any faces. I reckon I must know at least one of them. Maybe I glanced away too quickly. But I also waved back to them. We walked back towards the staffroom and was told by my geography teacher that the teacher we wanted to visit had already resigned. That was kind of shocking. Never knew that would happen. Said he's going to do something really meaningful to his life. Going to UK to study more. Good for him then. Getting the arse out of here. [Now I don't mean any ill feelings here if you noticed.] Went back to Parkway feeling kind of depressed [because of some other reason] for tuition. Kyl was late again. But I must say that tuition went quite smoothly. We ended on time! That's really kind of rare. Ate at Mos Burger and the counter people [or whatever you call them] made a mess out of our orders. Walked around the place and M saw her teacher. Kyl went home first because her mom was fetching her some time after we were finished with our dinner. Went to Macdonald's to get one apple pie for my brother. Saw some ex-classmates. Was staring at each other as we walked passed. Didn't make any move to say 'hi'. It would really be unnecessary as they would probably pretend they don't know you, judging from the kind of boys they are. The Mac counter woman [whatever] was rather cute. Ok, she's really quite young. Reached home at around nine. Took a bath and sat down in front of the TV [which was very rare nowadays since I would prefer having Potter for company]. And guess what!! I saw M's mom on TV!!!! That's really cool!!! It was about the coolest and most amusing thing that happened today!!! Hahaha!! Now I am still thinking about whether my juniors were greeting me or not. ...
