WHY do female cleaners clean male toilets and vice versa? On tuesday I'd just finished contributing to Singapore's Newwater source and when I emerged from the cubicle, a female cleaner popped her head around the corner and said "Boy arh, ni you mei you chong shui" (did you flush the toilet). I nearly screamed "You're a she!" Man, I bet my heart had my teeth marks. I mean, the toilet is as sacred to a boy as an epee to a fencer... Oh well

Teacher's Day today. I think I'm blogging far to often, but admittedly integration, general waves, chem remedial and CCA paperwork doesn't hold that much appeal...

Yeah.... VJ was of course, a high standard today.... Watching Mr Robert Yeo annihilating a cockcroach to sounds from "unreal tournament", Mr Tan and Mr Wee saving VJ from a rogue meteor, Mr Lau doing something and Mr Ang doing something else was quite amusing to say the least... Stella, Phoon, Mursjid and Dory performed really well in dance... very cool... haha... although mursjid's haircut meant that I needed Li Ling to point him out to me... Alvin also performed in harmonica, as did Si Hui

Had a debate with ChuaH on the merits of cats and dogs before scramming back to AHS.... I can't figure out why the VS people chose the time to start doing their cheers (although I admit, I do envy their school spirit.... Personally single-sex schools have better spirit than co-ed... Look at how many unique cheers we have, for instance. Its lies around 0. We don't know everyone, or go out together as one big bunch, just because we're from the same school... we go out in ex-classes). Happily, it left 31 very empty for a happy load of AHS people, which included 4L-ers (Si Hui, Victoria etc), 4J-ers (Stacy), 4K-ers (Po Ying, Shi Min etcetc) and 4F-ers (me, xiaoquan, naicheng). Waha.

AHS performance was about twice as long as VJs, or maybe we just dismissed early... had loads of time to walk around, refil my water bottle blah. Actually all the people I met were Aerieans... Could have had a shot at finding the Mount-Kers, but I couldn't find them.... The netball people, wenrong, natalia, aloysius (who suan-ed me non-stop during the trip, protesting that I could hit him with my bottle cos he was sick and cos it went against the medical ethics of first aid... whatever).

People I ran into worth mentioning are (in order of appearance):

Mao Rui, who learnt to make cheese macaroni from my mother

Audrey, an IP from NJ who used to be my brother's classmate and a junior from St. John... Haha I could still recognize her, although she changed quite a bit and has grown quite tall also. We talked quite a lot, cos I was with no one, she was with no one, and we had an hour to kill before the celebrations were done...

AC2, my competition team, who were lounging outside the hall minus Si Han due to the extreme heat inside... Don't complain, if the stained glass had still been there you all would have died.

Mdm Teo, St. John teacher
Mrs Chong, St. John teacher
Ms Lee, (Li lao shi), sec. 2 chinese teacher.... I bet she was disappointed at my results...
Ms Chan, sec. 4 chem teacher (I didn't tell her I got D for chem)
Mr Peach, form teacher in sec. 4, under which we won the upper sec. debate comp (If Phoon, you are reading this, please don't kill me)
Mdm Sim, sec. 3 and 4 georg teacher (Who contributed to my producing of my pretty georg notebook... haha)
Mdm Hidayah, sec. 3 and 4 physics teacher (who pulled my physics out of the Cs. She said a C in JC wasn't too bad actually).

Yar, Mr Peach said tht I could go into the staffroom and look for teachers... I went in and was promptly chased out by Mdm Teo who told me that the prelim papers were out and I could not be inside (I wonder if it occured to her that I was already past the stage of O-level prelims).

I didn't hang about too long... pushed off back to Kong Hwa for the first time in 2 years or something... what possessed me to go back I don't know. A combination to laziness and mistimed St. John Public Duties caused that...

Unfortunately Kong Hwa chose that time to do contact time... so I had to wait til 1.30 before I could see Miss Soon, my pri 5 and 6 teacher.... meanwhile I walked around... looked at the staff noticeboard (only can recognize my P1 chinese teacher, Ms Soon and Ms Seah of the Scouts). I was the only JC student there, the rest were all lower secs.... and many of them were very tall.... The Kong Hwa uniform has changed (I remember it was a torture to put on my starchy new shirts) to white polo shirts. The pri sch students are very little... haha... n they were looking at me like were very old like that... My class picture of us at the NDP preview in Primary 5 is still on the noticeboard... I saw the pond where used to go during recess.... gazed at the 4th storey corner classroom where books would regularly fly out, followed by their harried and traumatised owners (discipline was darn harsh). Compared to AHS, the colour scheme was really very nice... and yes, I could still camouflage myself into the wall with my VJ uniform.

Most frustratingly, Kong Hwa is now like a bank... or a fortress... or a fortified bank... electronic locks were everywhere... Couldn't even go into the staff room... Must dial extension number... but all the numbers were at primary school level.... n it was painful for my legs to kneel and dial the number.... not to mention feeling a little ridiculous....

I waited an hour and was about to leave a note in Ms Soon's pigeon hole when she appeared out of the staff room. i waited a while for her other students to talk before I made my way forward. She took a while to remember my name, although it was evident it was just a memory lapse... haha... she could still remember the people from our class, and asked how they were, how many people were in VJ and so on.... I recall I managed to stop myself being flung out of the class by her.... one of the few people to have a clean sheet... haha. We talked a while... then I pushed off back home....

yup.. quite an eventful day.... oh... its past 12... Happy Birthday Soo Yee! You've been a great friend n Vice OC =) May you have a gd year ahead (n lead your taekwondo team well!)
