Wednesday, August 31, 2005 :)
Mmm... these few days have been really... different, I would say. Things have been happening; and they've been making me see things in a different light. A better light, or is it worse? Aiee. Not too sure myself =S
I think on Tuesday during Science, yeah, Tuesday. Mr Tan suddenly started talking about eyes. Cos William was rubbing his. Then Mr Tan said that in some third-world countries chillun are actually tricked?.. Mmm, like, these evil guys approach kids and ask them to stare at a bamboo pole. Then they put it real close and shove it into their eyes real hard so the eyeballs drop out. _ I was totally grossed out. Cringed and contorted my face (which came naturally, really) It's totally sick. He said that it was cos our eyes are held by very... thin/frail/weak muscles. Eew can? Was rather... disturbed for say, 5 minutes? Hey, that's long ok. Wurgh. Where's the love in the world!? Argh. Still irks me to type this. Change topic.
Went to the old folks home yesterday kia. Sunlove Home! Yeah, sounds nice. Unfortunately Charmione kia and Emily kia couldn't make it -_- So my team consisted of Naim, Gloria, me (obviously), and William joined us. Not that it made any difference cos in the end we worked as a class. Half of a class, to be specific. Cooked in school. Took more time than 'predicted'. Ms Faten ended up cooking bee hoon for us =P vermicelli, rather. Haha. Really was delicious can? And I was eyeing it with like, -red eye- nah, envy. How my stomach hungered for it. -sigh- went without lunch. how very noble, marianne! yesyes i know, thank you very much.
So, got to Buangkok. -cheers- neutral emotions when I got off the bus. Lined up in 2s -_- nice. Haha. Got a 'warm welcome' by a rather normal looking 55+ year-old.
Her: Who are you?
Miss Faten: Oh, we're from Hai Sing Catholic School? Here to visit?
Her: Visit what? The building ah?
Students: -turn back and give the WHAT!? face-
Miss Faten: Oh, no. Is Mr Charles here? etc etc bla bla bla.
So anyway. Our dear beloved teacher was led through this very depressing gate into a walkway that was like all gated/fenced up. We were like 'Miss Faten! NOOOOOOO!!!!' -exaggerations- haha. Funny. You know, 'GO IN AND NEVER RETURN' kinda crap? ya. funny.
Found out that woman belonged to the 'mental patients' section.. riggghhtt...
-cuts the crap- bla bla bla.
So went to join the old folks. Man alive, Faten forced us to sing. Naim and me had to go in first (cos we kay-kiang go and raise hands for our group to sing; before maine and em pang sehed us la) So anyway. So pai sei dinosaur can. So we decided to impromptuly sing 'You Are My Sunshine'. Letting Naim start = BIG MISTAKE. Haha. That joker sang the whole thing out of tune -_- Too shy to sing properly sia. Mumbling. WHOOPS =X So anyway.
NEXT SONG. Thank God Will and Khye An joined us. Sang what ah? We were so desperate we contemplated singing 'ABC'. Sang Twinkle twinkle little star instead -_- zzzz... Then finally KA came up with an ingenius suggestion - Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace. That one went quite well I guess.
So after the horror was over, they played some chinese songs and we were supposed to dance with them. Danced with Gloria at first, but saw Calista so spontaneously grabbing old folks and dancing happily with them - INSPIRED!!! Grabbed one for myself and started dancing. Well, looked for a normal one, to start with =P Uncle Kasim. Then another guy, whom I didn't get the name. Maia, if I got her name right, danced really well. She was the most normal la. Wait, she WAS normal. I mean, since she said I'm a good girl X) BEEHHHHEMM!!
Asked all of them for a dance but some were injured/whell-chair bound/didn't know what I was talking about. One took my hand and led herself to the food -_- haha. O well, I helped her!! =D
While KA and Naim very happily Tango-ed across us. Dancing like... gayly =P
So then we... OH YA.
We were singing halfway (scroll up please) when this old woman walked through. Like walked into another old woman who was standing up. TERROR CAN!? Like, just TAPPED her lightly, and the 'walking old woman' fell down. Then the 'tapped old woman' was like, after kena-ing tapped, stood there for a second before falling back. WAIIIITTT! THIS IS THE TERROR PART!!!
You know how when you fall back you tend to bend your legs and fall on your butt? Yeah. SHE JUST FELL STRAIGHT BACK! I was like, WHAT THE!?!?! Like those kinda really stupid magic shows (reminds self of Harry Potter) where they kena frozen and just fall back like that? without knees bending or anything? Yeah. GOSH. Faten and all of us were shocked. -gasp kia-
So served them food. Bla bla. Hungry kias such as Calista and myself coped some =S not that they finished everything anyway. And cos they had their dinner, our bee hoon was given to the psychiatric patients. -heart shatters- haha.
Bla bla. went to some 'heritage museum' in the old folks home itself. Kinda cool stuff there. -nods in agreement with self- heard some of Mr Charles' stories. Reminds me of those my dad told me. yeahh baby... -nods again-
So left the home soon enough. Talked to Calista on the way to the bus. Actually she's a nice kia. Very sociable and spontaneous. We're usually socialising about God/related issues. Haha. Interesting kia to talk to la =)
Crapped on the bus. With Faten. haha. Got back to school and rushed to minimart to get some food to fill my empty stomach. Gosh, the security guard was closing the main gate, so I tried to run through. To my horror...
-attempts to run thru closing gates-
S.G: Oi, don't be stubborn ah!
Me: -confused/shocked/contorted/what-in-the-world/pai sei/ shucksed/goshed face-
Naim/Alan: Wah marianne, stubborn ah! -wei chieh tone-
Diao sia. I wasn't trying to be defiant/stubborn/ naughty/mischievous or anything!? zzz... Oh well. -sings last line of 'malcolm in the middle' theme song- Life is unfair.. haha.
Teachers' day celebration today was really good. Entertaining. Was locking Naim in class before that. Yeah Khye An! Mission accomplished!! ^5. Fun.
Went back to Tao Nan. Not many of my girl classmates went back sia. In fact, only 1 did. Pathetic. Met the guys later so we went to find the wonderful Miss Judy Koh together. Really happy to see her. Love her loads. Best teacher ever sia =) She remembered most of us, yay! =D we made an impact! haha. good/bad ways la, hor? To think she still remembered my background, about choosing schools cos of my results etc etc. -cheers-
Pai sei dinosaur, here's a long post for ya =D hehe. Equivalent to 3 short posts la. I think. Estimation not very accurate, I know. But oh well. If you actually read it, WHOOOAAA =) haha.
So until I blog again, try not to miss me. Take care!
