teachers'day! and etc.

Last memorable occasion was teachers' day.

The day started off on a bit of an embarrassing note.

My ez-link card didn't have enough money...as I had already suspected, so when I tapped my card the annoying loud beeping noise rang out in the silent bus.

I stood there and looked for change, finally digging out the blessed 55 cents.

Then the bus driver looked at the till, looked at me, gave me an incredulous look and said, "$1.10 ah."

I hurriedly swiped my card out of the holder and showed him the beautiful student ezlink card that entitled me to half the adult fare. (I was in my home clothes in case you guys are wondering.)

And he nodded and gave me my ticket. I was like thinking "Hah! In your face!"

Muahahaha. I'm so evil.

Bus drivers always dont trust me when I pay the 55 cent fare and I'm in my home clothes.

I was in my class tee forgot sake I thought I looked quite juvenile! Ah well.

Then anyway, the embarrassing part came when my dad( who was going to work) came over to the bus and said in a RATHER LOUD VOICE " Sakina, here's some coins for the fare."

And everyone turned and stared at me. Omg....I wanted to sink into a hole and die.

I felt like such a baby, with my father there to hand me change when I needed it.

And the worst part was I had already settled the fare! Oh dear. But these things do happen.

Anyway, the celebrations in school were quite blah except for the performance by dance club.

Andrea was rocking man! She looked SO hot on stage.

All of us were like, hey yeah, finally...this is the reason why we came to school.

And it was worth it. Our first two periods were free cos Mr. Fazli was in the hospital. Poor soul. I wonder what happened to him.

Ah and then came my very self-conscious moments.

I had made cards for the teachers and for some reason I thought it'd be more personalised if I gave it to them personally instead of slotting it in their pigeon holes.

Boy did I regret the decision! (okay, I guess eventually i didn't. but still....)

I suddenly felt so shy and embarrassed to go up to the teachers and give them the card.

Soef had to drag me over to Mr Hasim to give him the card. I dunno what was my problem.

Then it was Mr Rajesh. He was such a gentleman! He was eating and when he saw me approaching he stood up instantly and received his card with a solemn "Thank you so much." He looked so grateful. Haha. And he's been teaching for so many years...isn't he used to presents? It was like that with Lizzy's gift too....he showed so much gratitude. Good man indeed.

Yeah then the rest of the teachers it went relatively well.

I hate the awkward moments after giving the card when you're like standing there with nothing to say and just smiling at the teacher, the teacher smiling back at you and you're like " God! I so wanna get out of here right now!"

Okok, enough of my self-conscious moments. I think there was something wrong with me that day, I'm not usually like that. :/

Then it was back to Crescent!!!

Omg I was so happy to see all my sec schl frens again and all the teachers!

At first I thought it'd be awkward since I had no presents for them (self-consciousness working its way again) but everything turned out to be great!

It was great chatting with all of them again, just seeing them again....and I could tell they were happy to see us back too.

Miss Azlin was determined to tell us about where she found the ghost in TJ...she actually was like telling us that its behind the CCA block near the semi-D houses. Then in a very contradictory statement she was quick to add that we shouldn't go looking for it and getting ourselves into trouble. Haha. Love her loads man.

Then talked to Miss Goh. She said she was very tired. And she was chosen to go for teachers' day rally. She didnt look very happy about it and she went on a sarcastic lament " Yes, I'm very happy that I can go for the rally....I'm so glad I was picked....I'm the chosen one...I'm so excited about the rally..." Hahaha. Relax Miss Goh. I hope it didn't go too badly! (=

Yeah and so this went on, we talked to a few more teachers....and soefie waited around to give her bulbs to the different teachers.

And oh you know what we discovered!

Mrs Koh isn't teaching anymore! I was so sad to hear that. My wonderful history teacher. She was really good la. So patient with us. We were quite a naughty bunch of kids. Always trying to make her postpone all her tests and not doing her homework. Guess she finally decided that motherhood was her first priority. Best wishes Mrs Koh!

Yeah okay getting out of the teachers' day mode...after that me, andrea and soefie went to watch monsterhouse at suntec!

Due to ehmmm, location and movie choice, Amitha didn't want to join us. Apparently our powers of persuasion weren't strong enough for her.

We intially wanted to watch Devil Wears Prada but due to several of our own reasons, we decided to go with monsterhouse instead. This was AFTER amitha declined our invitation so profusely.

And then guess what? She called a while later and said she wanted to come. But by then we had already bought tickets for monsterhouse. And she doesnt wanna watch that. So sad. If she had decided a few minutes earlier we could've all watched Devil Wears Prada together.

But anyway, it was a good enough movie! Feel good basically, pretty funny. I liked the animation.

Yeah then after that we talked for a bit at Coffee Bean where we had the world's most abominable $3.60 drink! Guys out there, I'm warning you, don't ever get Fruit Tea Ice Blended. Lemon Zest Ice Blended maybe but not the former. Soefie!! It's all your fault. Hahaha. But we managed to finish the drink in the end ( I think).

Oh and we discovered what Andrea's first date was like. Billy Bombers will never be the same again.

Today went out with soef to do comparison table. At Bugis Macs.

It was pretty constructive if I say so myself. I'm quite proud of us.

Though we did do a lot of gossiping and chit-chatting along the way but that's inevitable is it not?

Amitha's no longer a Westie. She's officially an EASTIE now.

Goodbye, Amitha.

Hopefully one day you'll come back to our side.
