Woohoo!! I had my learning journey today to the Marinetime and Port Authority of Singapore. Honestly, in my opinion, the experience was bittersweet. There were times that were absolutely fantastic. And other times were well, sickening.
The day started great. There was school, as usual. I could hardly contain my excitement. Then, school ended. I skipped to canteen and expected to see maryam’s anticipating face saying that she can’t wait to go to the National Environmental Agency of Singapore. Being an environmentalist and all, maryam could hardly wait to be there. She wasn’t there so I waited and waited. When she didn’t come for a long time, I decided I should just go to lunch with siska, jean and sally. Then, I called Ain and she told me that maryam and nabilah were at their Parent Teacher Meeting. I felt a sudden sympathy for both of them. My time will come.
So, I decided to head to the teacher’s room to check them out. Then, I saw nabilah’s parents talking to Mrs Sheri. Nabilah’s face was so pissed. I shot her a look of sympathy then I saw maryam and her mom. I said hi to her mom. She was nice. So, I went down to canteen to wait for both of them. Then, Rizal came over and we talked. When he left I kept waiting. So I went to the minimart and bought stuff and when I came back, me and farah went spying on the parent teacher meeting. Then we started laughing for no reason. WHAT ONLY FARAH AIN! So…. I saw mary and we went minimart.
OH YES! When we returned, I went for the briefing and these two old, but cute, guys were talking. Then I sat with Faqiha on the bus and we listened to my MP3 and laughed at everything.
When we were there, we straight away went onto the boat. My excitement had suddenly dissolved into something weird and different. I most definitely did not want that feeling. What I felt, was sea sickness. Faqiha didn’t take my feeling seriously. I sat beside Solomon who was such a sweetheart and so funny. We made fun of the guy who was talking to us. Then, he went to sleep coz’ he was tired, I went to sleep because I felt sick. The queasiness was so unbearable. I hated it so much. The boat practically jumped out of the water and was bouncing up and down, side to side. It was the worst thing ever. Every time the boat lurched, my stomach flipped. For forty-five minutes, I had to withstand the worst. If it wasn’t for Solomon’s cologne, I would have threw up there and then.
On the journey home, me and faqiha listened to more music. Then, we were so exasperated that we fell asleep. When I woke up, I wove to some random boys at the bustop and when I wanted to wake faqiha up, I played ‘wakeupcall’ on my MP3 and she sprung up. Ha-Ha faqiha.
I learned several things today:
-Fear Parents and Teachers
-I hate boats
-Avoid Parallex Error when measuring angles
