Tears and laughter.

It is a very anxious day with lots of things happening. Mr Tan going to return fac test, got Bio test, got debate.

This morning, I very lame. I was so engrossed in my debate points that I didn’t see Gabriel coming. Don’t know why he craves for Ice cream and waffles so badly. Maybe he is pregnant..haha. I am a Bio student and I shouldn’t sprout nonsense.

Denise shocked me early in the morning telling me she forgot to bring her notes for the debate. But it was no big deal since she remembered her points.

I passed my Chem fac test. Mr tan says I am improving. Finally!!!

Then it was time for GP. We wasted so much time trying to get a vacant classroom in the end we still used our original venue for the debate, which is at J210. At first, Mr Lim said we would go to LT5 for the debate. Something silly happened. I was just telling Sarah and Mimi about having the zeal to argue when I was opening the LT door when suddenly I see numerous pairs of eyes staring at me. I screamed and slammed the door. This is embarrassing.

The debate motion: In this age of globalisation, nationalism has no place in this borderless world.

The debate was very intense. As usual, Liyen couldn’t be heard. Everyone was craning their necks to hear her. I kept rebutting the other group so much till Daijing asked me to shut up. Luckily when I made me point, Jennifer, Jia min and Amanda chorus out loud, agreeing with me. Yay Girl power!

Apparently, now we all know that the other team doesn’t know the meaning of migration. Lujun mentioned that the citizens migrate within Canada. Does that also mean that if I move house from Tampines to Jurong, I am migrating too?
I was waiting for Gabriel to rebut but he did not. He merely gave a summary about the motion.

Bio test was terrible, there was no time to finish. I guessed the last question.

I went to see Mdm lim after school. She is so lousy. She keeps asking me to think when I don’t understand condition probability. I so frustrated!!! I keep getting the wrong answer and she keeps saying it is easy and ask me to think again, making me feel like a goon. How demoralising! I don’t know how maths is going to be when my good friend leaves. I think I will cry buckets of tears. I wasted 1 period with Mdm lim and not even getting an answer. I didn’t even have lunch. Luckily I only ask her one question. I demand a change in teacher! Damn. After that I went to see my gd fren. He taught me how to do probability in like 15mins. Can you believe it? He even taught me so patiently. I was so touched and grateful. Words just can’t describe how I felt when I was enlightened. It is like a revelation. I was brimming with emotions.

It was shocking to see so many JC1s turning up for Gavel. Miss Angela Quek came and her comments were so sarcastic. She evaluated Wei Xiong.

She wrote:

Wei Xiong ‘s speech was well argued. Yet he needs to open his mouth wider so improve his enunciation. He should watch My fair lady, where the professor taught a country girl how to speak high class British English.

Just reached home and already to go for Vanessa’s BBQ. Haven’t seen the people for a million years.. If you are wondering, I don’t live in the pre-historic age.

Vanessa tells me to take the shuttle bus from Pasir Ris Taxi stand. But I missed the bus and it would only come an hour later. Called Vanessa, she sounded worried. She told me to take a cab and she would pay for it. That’s so nice of her!!! Of course, I took a cab there but I didn’t accept her money. I was waiting for Vanessa to come and pick me up when I reach there. I suddenly heard a voice calling,”Nic!” Now it all seems surreal. When I turned around I saw Vanessa, she haven’t changed a bit except her looks but she is always to comforting and always making sure someone is alright. Can’t believe I have been friend with her since Primary 2 when we were in St. Anthony’s Pri. The Aloha chalet is so much bigger than the one Mdm Twu booked last year. Candy, Chin teck and Cassandra were there already. Still waiting for Yi Rong to arrive. Haven’t seen them in a long time. Everyone still the same. Cassandra still very loud, Candy very artsy fartsy and Chin Teck very independent and bold. All of them are in poly. They said I didn’t change much either except for my appearance.

Vanessa’s poly friends were there too. 4 guys and 3 girls. The guys very funny. One of them asked out aloud, she looks familiar (pointing the tongs at me), was she the one who came to my house? No, I replied and so they introduced themselves. Brian, Aaron, Gabriel and Li Sheng, I think. I didn’t know how to cook so the entire night I allowed the guys to serve me. Hey! I am the new-age career woman ok! Then one of the guys then said they are cave men already since they know how to cook. So, now things have taken a turn, the woman brings home the bacon and the man fries it up in the pan. Haha. But they were quite gentlemen, they help me with everything, even the simple chores of taking a tissue.

Candy so envious because I eat a lot and still not grow fat. Lastly for the desserts, Candy and Chin Teck made Fondue. Yi rong and I helped out a little, but the guys doubted my abilities. I wanted to make the dessert we ate at Camp Christine. Candy and I was debating over whether or not the banana skin should be pealed. I said it shouldn’t be pealed and Candy said it should be pealed. So I did one pealed and one with the skin. I slid the banana and stuffed Chocolate and Marshmallow in then BBQ it. Aaron and Brian looked at me all grossed out. Haha. It turned out quite well, Gabriel also did the same thing. Finally, we all had our Strawberries, banana and apples dipped in the chocolate fondue. Yummy!

Then Gabriel and Yi Sheng (if I got it correctly) played Snap with Vanessa and I. They say can only snap if the card shows + or – 1 that you shout out. I lost!! They keep saying JC students all like that must think twice before doing anything and so clever. Crazy! They even force me to say my L1R5 but I didn’t tell them. I left nearing 11pm. What a fun party!
