BAIK KAPPA MEMBERS.
today was an exceptionally sweet day. I loved today. it was particularly happy, sunny and everything seemed to be going well. I had good vibes about today. OH. but there were some bitter moments as well. can't I ever go through a day without it being tainted by negativity? I wonder.
SWEET:
on wednesdays, me and syafiqah do not go to school together. okay this is not the sweet part in case you were wondering. I don't know why we don't but I guess it's just something we've gotten used to since the dawn of the days we started walking to school together which was like secondary three or something. Wednesdays were always late. which meant namira could sleep longer, and syafiqah wouldn't have to wait. it's a pretty efficient system if you ask me.
soooo, this morning was a mad mad rush. I had to finish my chem tutorial, malay kefahaman and the GP presentation which was BLOODY IRONIC because I will tell you why later. so I didn't managed to finish anything which was perfectly fine by me because at least I managed to cover a bit of everything. hmm, this is beginning to sound more and more bitter than sweet. oh well. so I was late, it was seven forty and I still wasn't dressed and my clothes were not pressed (OMG THAT RHYMES). So I was rushing like mother freaker and I was only ready at eight.
at this point I had already imagined the look on Ms Lai's face as I strode into the hall, blantantly late, with a panic-stricken look on my face. I pictured the whole thing perfectly; from the slide she would most probably show about ATTITUDE or some crap like that, right down to the annoying snickers of my classmates. It was beginning to dawn on me that my day would not start uncrappily. Thus, my busride was jittery. I cursed every red traffic light and silently prayed for the bus driver to suddenly have to urgently take a piss and drive alot faster.
HOWEVER, when I arrived there at EIGHT TWENTY, which was 'five minutes late', most of my classmates were still at the atrium. S111 and S113 were still at the study benches and there were alot of people gathered outside the hall. I was saved! thank God for principals who just cannot shut up. the bloody thing started at EIGHT FORTY FIVE which was unbelievable. faces of impatience and annoyance were common sights outside the hall.
BITTER:
the talk was... entertaining. well, actually to be honest, I wasn't quite paying attention to what she was saying. But I got a gist of it. Especially the parts where she slammed the arts students. That part was uncalled for because as far as I am concerned, the arts people I know did relatively well. I didn't really feel she should have displayed such a negative air about the Arts students. The science students' results weren't remarkable anyway.
basically to sum it all up, she had only three suggestions to give us. in the whole forty five minutes for which she spoke she only told us to do three things:
"1. don't fail backwards. fail forward never mind. fail backwards cannot.
2. drop a freaking H2 subject.
3. when all else fails, get out of MJC already. clearly your standards are too mediocre for my uber cool custom animations that I used in my uber cool powerpoint presentation. "
I discussed it with my father this evening. My father came up with a brilliant conclusion for the WHOLE SITUATION, which is not surprising. he said that Ms. Lai was actually using REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY on us. quote unquote from dad 'namira, now you're angry. but trust me, every student in that hall will go back to their parents, complain and then go study like kiasu to prove your principal wrong. your principal wants you to prove to her that she is wrong. don't you see?'
MY DAD'S A GENIUS. WHOA OH OH OH OH OH OH.
just to round up my entire day, funfestique was abnormally FANTASTIK. PHOBOS IS JUST AMAZING. THANK YOU TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN PHOBOS FOR MAKING THIS WHOLE EVENT A BLOODY SUCCESS. to EMILYN! YOU WERE FANTASTIC LA SAYANG. (:
secondly, banner day was today. the day when we made A WHOLE NEW BANNER after making one already a few weeks ago. TO THE PERSON WHO STOLE OR THREW AWAY OUR BANNER, YOU HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE FOR ALL OF US PUBLICITY I/Cs. Not forgetting Suuuhaidah and Syafiqah and Debra(h) and all the other house committee members who helped and supported us. I don't know who the hell you think you are, but if you do anything to put my friends and I in a rut again, I am going to burn down the school.
but I should thank you, because this banner looks quite nice.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN. our banner is kept safe and tight in the house committee room where no one can touch it except well.. house comm members! and teachers. and cleaners who have keys to every room in the school.
goodnight everyone, I shall turn in now.
you're scary when you come near me and breathe on me.
that's why you're never scary.
because you never do.

self-proclamation.
My life is not a fascination worth the scrutiny of those who watch over me. Yet, I live amongst thin air and sparkling personalities.
I am an avid fan of the KoreanPop scene. So bring me to the number thirteen.
read my lips.
they're watching.
