This post shall begin with the usual formalities...
Good-den, good fellows. It has been too long, hasn't it? As you already know and are rolling your eyes as you read this, school and stress is to blame for my negligence of my blog.
I should be studying French right now but my lethargy has overcome me. I shall now engage in telling you of all the things that have happened shortly after my blogging hiatus began. Oh, please forgive my strange 'proper english shabaz'. ;)
I'll start all the way back from the time we went to watch Harry Potter 7 Part 2. I had a marvelous time, even though we all had more than a bone to pick with the actual movie. Sitting in a nearly empty movie theatre... stuffing your face with crunchy popcorn like there's no tomorrow... surrounded by your friends... just basking in such a perfect moment is absolute bliss.
Next! The SSO concert we attended at the Esplanade. Li Ann, Sammie, Fee and I had dinner at the Toastbox (yeah sounds like a breakfast place but they didn't just have toast and coffee), then leisurely made our way to the Esplanade, gazing at high-end shops and inhaling the pristine shopping mall air. The actual concert was marvelous, except for some grumpy people sitting near us who couldn't even stand even the smallest little sniffle or crinkling of the programme booklet. There was this European guy sitting in our row, you know, the kinds with high noses and deep-set eyes that seem observe everything with a sort of haughty detachment - Sammie said he was "kind of hot" - and so, he was the... victim, so to speak, of our teasing for the evening.
Strangely enough, term 3 common tests seemed even more stressful than mid-years. It's a relief now that they're over, but we're still waiting nervously for the rest of the results. Well, if you're feeling the least bit dissatisfied with any of your results, here are some wise words from my sister:
Once you get to JC, you'll realise how stupid and insignificant those common tests are.
Yup, so don't fret about what has already been done, and don't let it encumber your preparations for what lies ahead (in this case, the EOYs). Am I getting too preachy again? Oookay change of subject!
We just found out today that not only is this year's annual school fun fair changed to a Saturday, but that we are each expected to sell 100 dollars worth of fun fair coupons! Not to each other, but to people from outside of the school! Friends from other schools, relatives, tuition teachers, hobos, you name it! The fun fair will be dominated by ACS dudes, parents, little kids who'll eat up all the cotton candy and ice cream - it'll hardly be our school's fun fair anymore. Instead it'll be like a fundraiser. Yes, a fundraiser, to raise funds to improve our school's facilities, etc. As if the Methodist Walk wasn't enough. Aren't there any other institutions that we can direct all the profits to? Institutions that need the money more than us?
I'm outta stuff to say for now. Till next time!
