Went to the edusave scholarship yesterday. It was held in Xinmin Sec. The place was damn crowded lol. My seat number was 262 which was like damn back. Saw russell in the hall too. Sooner or later also saw dorothy, annabel, wantian, ian and some other hihs people.They started off with some dance performance. The children one was quite cute. It looked as though they were dancing para para or something. But the Yuying one was hilarious. I almost laughed but couldnt because its rude. *see im so guai* They were dancing like some robot thingy and wearing sunglasses. And the music was so deafening that seriously, i almost lost my hearing.
Then the MP came and all rise and clap and yada yada yada... His speech was seriously out of point. First he talked about Singapore's economy and all that political lingo came out. Then he also talked about lift upgrading and meet-the-people sessions on monday evenings instead of wednesday evenings. I was wondering if the speech was meant for us or to promote himself even more. Finally after 15 staggering minutes he was done, and then he started talking the same speech... IN CHINESE!! I was like"what the heck!" He just went on forever and ever like nobody's business. I was looking the other hihs people for their expressions. They all looked so bored. In that whole chunk of words, the only part that appealed to us was, "once again i wouold like to give my heartfelt congratulations to all the award recipients." That was the end of it all. Everyone clapped really loudly. I think they are glad that he's finally finished.
But the worst was still to come. When they started announcing the names, they started from 001... 002... 003... I was thinking"oh no my number so far away!" It was really a test of your patience. Fortunately i managed to pull through by smsing annabel. And the way they announced the names was damn low-class. Oral is a sure failure, especially for the lady announcer. Her voice was shrieking, freaking and reeking. Extra loud and very ear piercing. She doesnt say "zero" but "jeero", so it was like "jeero jeero one". I mean, what's her prob? If she cant speak properly then might as well not get her to be emcee. She pronounced "ian jian qiang de silva" as "jen jen jeng da silva". It was so lol!*no offence man* So stupid the MP thought that my name is Shuyi instead of Samantha! All thanks to that auntie!!>< color="#000000">HIGHLY TOXIC iodone gas by accident. I mean, we all have to breathe right? Cuz after that i felt kinda dizzy, like how vivienne and i felt when we got home from the 2dil'07 class chalet. Got back the E maths test results today. I would like to say that... WAAA I LOST 6 MARKS CUZ OF CARELESS!!!! If i wasnt so careless i would've gotten a perfect 20/20... Tomorrow there's a stupid physics test. Still don understand that so sucky subject. Geography was funny. Mr Koh seemed to be more interested in the rivers than any of us were. Every slide had some river pictures. Everytime he changed slides, he would be all wide-eyed... Haha i was laughing throughout the lesson, which made time fly even though the lesson was quite boring.
