The times in random order...

Today was rather standard.

Before Assembly, I went to the Gym to do a few chin-ups. I also asked if Mr. See had taken us Year 1/2s out of tomorrow's swimming meet. Mr. See apparently couldn't find the teacher in charge of the swimming meet, so in other words, no. I did a 12-10-9-8-9, then made my way back to class. But then I arrived in the classroom looking panicked as I quickly slammed the door behind me. Some people asked me what happened, and after trying to catch my breath, I muttered,

"Darren..."

Immediately, Tim got up, grabbed Faraaz's hockey stick and moved out, assumably towards 2.11. I have no idea how Tim finds endurance against that guy. Darren just creeps me out, and I know very well that my 'pervert' tatic will never work on him, even if I tried.

First there was E Sci, where Spain (Matt Ch'ng), Madagascar (Michael), Egypt (Niranjan), Nigeria (Peter Isaac) and Romania (Kirby) presented their population-related problems. Madagascar did something very different today. Instead of stating a problem directly related to the population, he touched on the dropping ecconomy of the country and then linked the low finances with the population. Smart move. Romania was rather more of himself. He did do the research, and located himself out of Europe, but his presentation skills weren't that discriptive. I assume it was partially intended for comic-relief, and we all laughed along during the presentation. But at momments when I couldn't hear what he was trying to say, I used my Sonic Flare. Now my Sonic Flare is hated by Peter as well. Figures.

CL'B' was a free-period today as the teacher had to go for a competition, so I took the time to go to the library and read a couple of books. And when I say "a couple of books", I mean an arm's thick a documentation of World War II, and an even thicker Atlas.

After that was recess, and I can now say that today, I've attempted to try The Egg Sack. It's basically a small plate of rice coverred in scrambbled eggs and sweet sauce. I saw Jai eat it very often and so wanted to try it out for myself. As I lined up at the shop, I searched the menu pannels for the Japanese delicacy, but couldn't find even the term 'egg' on any of the food items. I didn't know if the thing was really called 'egg sack' at that point and was slightly afraid of embarrassing myself in front of the food auntie. But I trusted Jai, so I just queued along. When it was my turn to order, I told the auntie, "One egg sack." and was ready to change my order to an eel rice set if she ever frowned her eyebrows in confussion. But surprisingly, she nodded her head and went off to prepere the food. I froze there in slight amazement, but at least everything was still going sanely.

The stuff was standard. Literally. It would have tasted better if they fried the rice with some of the egg, but it was still good quality food, just that it was borderline-good quality. Not filling either, but I wouldn't mind eating it again for lunch one of these days. Once done, I went to return the plate to the stall, coming back to my table to find Shil sitting at the same seat I sat. I wanted to laugh at the irony, but with control I reduced it to a smile, and so I moved along to the piano to do my ussual rehersals. It felt so much like an exam with your teacher staring at you from behind, so I decided to play the entire score that I've mastered so far first. And I've basically mastered the entire piece with my right hand. So after the 'test', I was thought what my Left hand had to play. Shil also recomended a software called PianoHero, which can help tell me where to place my fingers during a song.

Then others joined in like Junn Kit, Matthew and even Darren Tay. Junn Kit played some 'English' pieces, while Matt was just practicing a couple of notes in a theme song. Let me repeat the phrase 'a couple of notes'. Darren just showed me another stanza that was PotC related, jabbed me a few times, and ran off. Scary. I was still distressed that learning the piano with two hands would be harder that how I learnt with only the right hand, but then when I got back tot he classroom, Matt showed me how complex 'He's A Pirate' was suppose to be using his computer. Each hand was suppose to play 3 fingers each everytime they touched the piano, and 2 hands was hard already. Gasp.

Lang Arts B has nothing much to say, just that I now have a second chance to raise my marks for my Term total. Let's just say I did 'lower than expected' for the Common Test.

Maths was also quite small, except for the fact that Sir is now introducing a computer game to us for us to learn algerbraic fomulas with. The CDs came from Kinderland, so I think you should have a rough idea how, erm, 'childish' the games felt to us. Rather 'facinating' plot of a hunter who goes into the jungle to shoot down a few monkeys, which angers a monkey idol that then turns the hunter into a monkey, and the only way he can turn back into a human is if he completes the maths problems in the jungle. Kirby also found a character in the CD who sounds like Mr. Kevin Ng. The scares of it all.

After school, we had to stay back for 5 minutes to tidy up the classroom, then we had to stay back a little longer to collect our Physical Science assignment worksheet. After that, I quickly rushed back home to prepare for tution. While waiting for the tution teacher, Auntie Florence came to send Wen Lin to the house for tution under my Mom for science, along with my younger sister. Auntie Florence and my Mom were chatting for a while before the tution teacher came, and while I was waiting in my room, I heard as the three women were discussing a bit on how guai ('obeidient') I was. My teacher was talking about the time when I helped walk her to her car with an umbrella one stormy day a month or so ago. Interesting to hear this behind their backs.

After tution, I downloaded the PianoHero Shil told me about, and tried it out with 'He's A Pirate'. Nice feature, and now I'm learning how to play the piece with my left hand. In fact, since the thing plays MIDI files, I can also surf the net for other songs. And let's just say Shil helped me out in "finding 'The Power of Passing Time', a power strong enough to repel Kirbeleons".

Gonna practice more. Gota wake up tomorrow for the swimming meet.God bless!
