Survivours of Malaysia...

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Just to give an introduction to my explaination for praises, my Desaru Trip was cancelled on Saturday, the same day we started travelling, because our route was covered by landslides, toppled buses and floods, thus making it 'a risk not worth making'.

So today, I wake up at 6 by accident, so I had to rush up on Breakfast and changing into uniform. By the time I reached the school, it was 6.45a.m., some what a little too late for me on Mondays 'cause that's when there's Prefect Fall-In. But when I reached the Old Lecture Theatre, no Council Members OR Teachers-In-Charge were present. Then I suddenly realised; 'Fall-In can only be held by Council Members. The Council is made up of Year 4s. But the Year 4s are still out there on the other side of the world. That means no Council, which means no Fall-In!' So I slowly marched towards my classroom.

When I reached the corridors of classrooms where my classroom was within, only 5 classrooms were lit up. This looked a little weird for a few seconds but after putting in the logic that the other classes are still in Malaysia, it became reasonable so I carried on.

Before Chapel, it was quite confusing for the remaining Year 2s as now the Year 5s and 6s have moved from their Balcony to the Ground Floor. So in the end we were moved from the front of the hall to the back, although many of my classmates didn't know and ended up being scattered around the place. And because Dr. Ong wasn't present in Chapel, as theorised by a classmate, Chapel became half an hour shorter. Weird, huh?

When we got back to class, we had some of our money given back from the trip and were told that the Birthday Party that we were suppose to celebrate in Desaru for those born between January and Mid-February would now be celebrated in School tomorrow, "so bring sometibits and snacks to nibble on tomorrow!" I'm planning of bringing a handful...

Oh, and they said that by right, Plan B was to postpone the OEP Trip to tomorrow, but then the State of Johor had just declared a State of Emergency, meaning that many of her areas are so flooded, even the Immigration Office we were suppose to report to were underwater! Thus, the Senior Admin is still discussing whether the postponing should be made to a) After Term 1 Class Tests, b) March Holidays, c) After End-of-Year Exams or simply just d) give us back our full sum of money.

But heres the interesting part! Because of these floodings, the students who made it to Malaysia are trapped in their places as well! Even a few of their events and activities were cancelled! Praise God we never made it to Desaru! At least now we know what to expect, what to pack, what kind of supplies we would need, what belongings we would need to watch out for and most importantly, have enough time to let wheather conditions settle down up there.

We were actually in the papers! The Straits Times Main Paper, 15 Jan 2007! I've read the article already, and it also states what the locals are trying to endure right now. God be with their souls...

But anyway, later in the day, most of it was made up of free periods exept for Language Arts 'B' and Pastoral Care, 'cause the teachers for the other subjects were somewhere else in the world! Yahoo! But because that would also include Mr. See, and that the substitute teacher was on MC, we wern't able to go for training today. :( Well, at least later, I had a chance to socialise with Tim, JK, Kirb and Matt. :}

Ah, well. Better go buy the food for tomorrow. Seeya later, and God bless!
