Terminator IV - The Re-Formatting Day...

Argh! Fell asleep again! Lokks like I need to use a post for two days...

Thursday
Aristotle...

I love this imagination God has blessed me with! Everyday my mind invents a new song, either from scratch or by re-formatting a well-known song. Right now, I'm listening to two hits from the '2.10 Dan - The Musical' CD set, 'Wind It Up' by Keymaster and 'Abandon/God Help/Do Something' by The Class, Me and The Rejects. Really fun! But enough of that for now.

Today my ePOD group had to present my animation of Aristotle for ePOD. I think the teacher wasn't satisfied with the content, but someone's bound to be amazed by the animation. I ray so, at least...

At the end of the lesson, Kirby and Matthew 'violently' debated on wheather Matt's seat was officially next to Tim or not. It lasted for a few minutes, but I guess it ended one way or another...

PE was soccer, with the payment of one round of track and a few chest jumps. Index 1-13 and 14-26 were the two teams, and I think the later won. Darn and yay at the same time.

P Sci Practical was interesting, with the fact that it always is. Today in the lab, the teacher did an experiment involving some chemical that produced blue ions from the negative terminal of an electrical current. This particulatr chemical had a really strong smell and was sufficating, but someone has to stand at the front line one way or another, so I endured. But at the same time, Justn was trying to find an inovative way to watch the experiment from the back. He thought of climbing up one of the desks, but Shil was watching and when Justin was half way up, he tugged him down. Justin fell and bumped onto my back, making me fall forward. I assume everyone was distracted by Justin's fall, thus no one realised that the petri dish that held the liuid was just millimeters in front of my face. I quickly moved back and started sniffing other people's shirts to neutralise the strong odour. Wonder what would have happened if my face ended up being smuthered with the stuff. And with electrcity. Creepy. Praise the Lord I'm safe...

Mr. Ang was absent today, so Hist was a free period. Yipee! I left my history essay on Sanjev's desk, so now I just hope it reaches Sir on time...

Then for canoeing, Jedd wasn't here so I had to take a K1 for 10km. Ouch. But hey, at least now, I can beat Derek! I've improved! Horay!

Friday
Terminator IV - The Re-Formatting Day...

AHHH!!!! IT department!!! Re-format!!! Loss of documents!!! AHHH!!!!

Started my day by collecting my Prefect Ceremonial Clothes (Prefect Cerems) from the Boardroom before making my way to the classroom. I, Junn Kit and a few others were playing around with my blazer! Cheap-trills! :) But then later, Jaira, Zheng Wei, Tim, Matt, JK and a few others were talking about today's IT Department collecting of Tablet PCs from students to install the year's digital textbooks. They started scaring me with stories about... about... (gulp)...

...'Re-Formatting'.

(Horror Violins Play)

They told me that as long as the IT Department finds anything in a computer that looks like a game, they'll re-format the whole computer. And that scared me, 'cause although I'm the innocent guy in class who doesn't have games in his Tablet, I'm not sure what they could concider as 'Games'. In fact, there's a PowerPoint Animation in my Computer titled 'Maths Computer Game', and if they take it that it's not actually 'Maths', they'd re-format my computer! AAHHHHH!!!!! My documents!!!! My research!!! My Tabby!!! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

But they were going to collect the computers later in the day, giving us enough time to hide the laptops. Phew, I thought.

Ben's finally back! After a couple of days with fever, bad cough and flu, he finally came back, and we all applauded when he came through the front door! All except Mr. Tay. He was angry at him for being late for school; after all, he arrived at 8.something, and was also angry that Ben missed the prize-giving with Dr. Ong, where he was suppose to recieve something from him for his Commomwealth Essay last year. Apparently, he's won over 300 pounds! Think how many Sing$ that is, and how much that's worth to a student, and you'd be amazed! Wait-a-go, Ben!

Chinese 'B' was a whole lot more peaceful today; we had to use LMS to do a comprehension homework, so I guess the Express were entriect with their Tablets. Apparently, 1) My connection with the school's wireless is not that good and 2) I forgot my LMS password. Thus, I'll need some time before I can do the assignments...

For Lang Arts A, we had to act out Act 1 Scene 2! Hahaha! The comical part of the play. I'll write the class version of the script one of these days, but by now you should know that the script makes no sense once 'classified', so read at your own risk.

Recess had to be quick, just that I didn't know it had to be. I bought a bowl of Wanton Mee, the first thing I ever ate in the school canteen and, for that matter, in the school. I found a nice seat next to my classmates when Tim suddenly popped out of nowhere saying something like, "They're here! They're here!" I panicked when i heard that and quickly gulped down everything before making a dash for the classroom.

Apparently, the IT Dep hasn't reached our class yet, but they're gaining on us! The climax is still there! AHHH!!! And true enough, during Lang Arts B, they came. They came.

Pushing in a lage trolley, they told us to stick the sticker that they were distributing and write our name, class and passwords. Many were 'safe' enough to hide thier Tablets in their lockers, but I, I was just too late. My Tablet was out and exposed, and I had no choice but to surrender. Slowly but fearfully, I scribbled onto the sticker the relevant details,then took my time to walk to the 'Trolley Portal of Doom' with my Tabby in my hands. I placed it gently on the edge of the trolley, asking the person-in-charge when I can get it back. He assured me latest by Monday, earliest by end of school today. I nodded as a sign of thanks, then turned around and slowly made my way back to my seat. Others had to go trough the same fear, just that more intense. I prayed hard that my documents would be safe and that my Tabby wouldn't be re-formatted.

Then for History, Mr. Ang marched into the class and after being greeted, started to interigate the students whom he hasn't recieved the history essays from yet. And ironically, I was one of them. I explained to Sir that I handed my essay to Sanjev, and from there I didn't know where it went. Sir appeared as if he didn't fully believe me, but my class, led by Calvin, started to garuntee to him I'd always hand my work on time. The fact that my class could trust me was moving, but there was no time for that; Mr. Ang wanted his essay and he wanted it ASAP!

He then asked if I could e-mail him the draft of my essay from my computer, only leaving me to explain to him that half an hour ago, the IT Dep took my Tablet away. Maitaining his stare, he continued to ask me if I could re-do the entire essay. I quickly said yes, knowing that I've got a house computer at home, and so after telling me I have till 23.59, Sir finally permitted me to sit.

Maths was somewhat standard as we had to use origami to prove algebric fomulas. We had to do it in pairs, and Kirby contributed to do most of the folding. We ended up being carried away and in the end, finished both what we were suppose to do AND the homework. Yipee! After the teacher left, Kirby, Tim and JK started doing push-ups that they owed each other after a game of 'I Never'. I couldn't stand watching them steal the fun away, so I joined in! Somehow, I ended up doing other types of push-ups like push-ups with Tim sitting on me, Commando Push-Ups and One-hand Push-ups! It was fun, and it was nice to know that God gave me this blessing of strength. I know that one day, God will give me the opportunity to use my talents for His Glory.

For White Space, an extra piece of timetable that the school's trying to test out, we had a science quiz and boy was it HARD!!! That's it: I'm gonna revise for all my sciences in the days to come! AHHRRGGHH!!!

Then after the test, the class and Mr. Tay discussed about a class T-Shirt. The materials and layout are comfirmed, and the colours are red and yellow unless otherwise stated, but the design is still being decided. Calvin's in charge of that, so all we can do is just to give advice. After a short voting on all the details, we were dismissed earlier than the rest of the cohord by a couple of periods.

Using this advantage, a few of us made our way to the IT Dep Room to check if our Tablets were ready for collection, and good thing they were! While I came out of the room, Tim and JK came to collect their's. But Tim wanted me to help him take his Tablet Bag, so I left them with my tablet as I went off to his locker. What I didn't know was that unlike my lock, Tim's locer combination never required an extra revolution for the last number. So for the next 5-10 minutes, I kept struggling with his pad lock, SMSing Tim once in a while to comfirm that I was working on the right locker and using the right combination. Finally when I figured out where I went wrong, I looked about his locker in search of the bag. Found some CNY decorations in there, so I guess I'll be called in for another wave of Decoration Duty.

While walking back to the CyberAC with the bag in my hand, Tim apparently made his way to the class to see what took so long for me to open a simple locker. As we headed towards each other, I waved the bag at him, keeping my face as emotionless as possible. it just felt as if we were illeagal drug traders; Tim being the seller, me being the buyer.

Me: Here's the cash. (Here's your bag.)

Tim: Thanks. (Nice and counted.)

Me: So where's the cocane? (So where's my Tablet?)

Tim: Still with Mugsy. (Still with Junn Kit.)

Me: At the Dead End? (At the SAC?)

Tim: No. Still at the Source. (No. Still downstairs.)

This conversation was made without us looking at each other or with any of us stopping from walking. It felt so cool! Drug dealers...

Anyway, once I had my Tablet back, we splited up, and I made my way to the Underpass, where I quickly typed in my password to see if my information was still there. And true enough, it was! Halelujah! Praise the Lord! I then did a dance I think Michael might have done and left quickly for home, where I was almost late for tution.

After tution, I tried out my Cerems and this is how I look:

Dashing, huh?
