Phenomenal Day at School!
The following took place on Tuesday, 26/01/10.
“Yong Kai wake up, the time is already 7:12 and you are going to be late!” Mum’s voice thundered through the corridor and invaded into my ears that morning. I literally jumped out of bed upon hearing, “You are going to be late!”The last thing I wanted to do was meet Mr. Chia at 7 o’clock the next morning for being late. I glanced at the clock with my intangible eyes, its read 6.30am. I was tricked by my mum!6.55 am. I dragged my lethargic body out of my father’s car and began to stagger up the 4 flights of stair to my classroom. When the clock struck 7.15am, my classmates and I began to leave the classroom unwillingly and we moved off to the parade square in a sluggish and dilatory manner. We indubitably were the last class to arrival at the parade square, just as I envisioned. Yet again, we had to squeeze into a single row as the place was completely occupied by other selfish schoolmates.
After we returned to our respective classes, we were given a told off by Ms. Lim because our class was late for assembly for the seventh consecutive time! As a punishment, had to settle down at the parade square by 7.10 in the morning or the classroom keys would be confiscated and we would not be able to enter the class in the morning. What a transcendent way to start off the morning!
First two periods was History. As usual, the class was always rowdy and boisterous when it comes to History lessons. Mr. Thiru began his lesson by introducing us to our TFU project which conjures up 30% of our CA1. We had to conduct an interview with a working ex-Victorian. I paired with Stanley and we decided to approach my cousin who belongs to the Class of 2009 and is currently teaching in Victoria School.
Next came the highlight of our day (drumrolls please)… English! Mr. Hamilton got things rolling by first giving us a pile of words to be taken down into our Personal Dictionary. For the rest of the lesson, we just had to use our ears to listen to Mr. Hamilton. He found an original text of a comprehension passage and read to us in a hilarious Cantonese accent. With that, the whole class broke into laughter.
After recess, was Mother Tongue lesson. Today’s lesson was a replicate of Amazing Race as we had to race against time. We had to finish the last part of our TFU but unfortunately, most of the people did not manage to finish it (including me).
As our Literature teacher, Mr. Daniel Tan walked into the class, the atmosphere was nothing short of intense, as we expected to receive our essay back. However, Sir did not give them out today but commented that we did pretty well although the average class score is only 6 to 7 marks.
The last lesson of the day was Maths. The class was unlike its normal boisterous self. It was so silent, that one could hear his one breath. Everyone had separated their chairs and gotten ready for the test. It was about time we put our knowledge to test. The test was not as hard as we expected it to be, and it was great that the generally, all of us aced it. It was 7mins before the day ended and Ryan and his volleyball mates stormed into the class and announced, “Yes! We came just in time!” and Ms. Lim replied him saying, “Yes Ryan and gang, you four find me after school to seat for your Maths Test." Ryan’s face expression was ingenuously priceless. What a day it was!
