Well, first day of school. Or lessons, for that matter. Generally quite a good day to say the least. Glad to be back with the class, to be surrounded by the stupid jokes once again. The holidays were boring. But then again, the June holidays were never really holidays were they? Haha. Oh well.
Anyway, something funny happened on our way out of school to lunch today. There was this cargo truck parked near the side gate in front of the traffic light, and there were these few men unloading cartons of drinks onto the trollies. Obviously, delivering them to the Temasnack. So the group of us were wondering why the men did not drive into the college to deliver the drink. Bewildered by "The Mystery of the Drinkmen", our conversation went something like this.
Somone: Eh. Why they dont want to drive into school ahh?
Sombody: Aiya, must be the OM again lahh. Confirm refused them entry into the school.
Hakeym: Must be cause they wearing slippers! Then OM dont allow.-_-" Okay, after typing it out, it doesnt really seem as funny. Oh well, it was pretty damn funny at the time Hakeym said it. Haha.
Well. Besides this incident during lunch, there were of course many other jokes coming up here and there throughout the long day, until 5.30. Most noticeably, Lance's comment during Ms Cai's GP tutorial. Arguing about whether a half mark out of one could be given for a question in our Current Affairs Compiled Quiz, when the answer was $23,000. His argument?
Lance: Ma'am! Can we have half a mark for putting $15,000? We got the 3 zeros correct lehh.Erm, once again, not very funny. SIAN. I give up! No more.
Anyway, got back 3 papers today. Quite happy lahh. Aim was not to fail. And I managed to pass those 3 H2 subjects. Well, I think someone up there is looking out for me. But hey, im no moron. This isnt the time for complacency. God is telling me that hard work will always be rewarded. And that is exactly what i'll be putting in. 12 more weeks to Promos. And its do or die. I can rest during the 2 months after Promos, now's not the time.
