Mr. Lim Lee played the keyboard, Mrs. Nat Lim played the drums, and Mrs. Chen Kok Peng, Ms. Tan Choon Gan and Ms. Ho played the guitar. The teachers who sang were Mrs. Yap, Ms. Sim, Ms. Bong, Mrs. Diana Goh, Mrs. Maggie Yeo and I think Mrs. Corrine Sim.
They sang the Carlsberg Beer Advertisement.. you know the one we sang at camp? "I love you baby ..." yadayadayada..
A Go Go Dance
Ms. Loy, Mrs Yue, Ms. Corrine Sim, Mrs. Catherine Choo, Mrs. Beatrice Leong, Mrs. Thory Chew, Mrs. Janice Gan, Mrs. Tan Seot Cheng. They wore polka dot dresses and feathered boas and danced! Haha, but Mrs. Ng was supposed to be in the dance, but she wasn't. Dunno..
Diorama
They sucked.
Really.
Imagine an ugly guy singing 'Boyfriend' by Ashlee Simpson, totally outta tune. And all he did was jump around, AND I SAW HIS BUTT CRACK. After that, I didn't dare to look..
But the drummer and the guitarists were fine. :D
You may think I'm weird, but I really thought the teachers were totally cool on that day.
:D Rivali

ps:ps: I stole all the pictures from various blogs. :D
Yeah, so people were talking and laughing, especially Cheryl, and he was like, walking around and glaring at us, and telling people to shut up, and knocking on the pews to get people to shut up, etc.
So then, Hui Ting laughs particularly loudly, then continues talking to me. Instead of telling her to keep quiet, he picks up a bible, and pokes her shoulder with it.
?????
You know, I'm not a Christian, but if I was, I would be SERIOUSLY offended. And I still think it was an appalling thing to do. Isn't the bible the word of God? How can you poke someone with it? In a Christian school on top of that? MGS being a Christian school, that was the MAIN reason that a bible was there in the first place.
On top of that, she's a female student, who is like, 20 years younger than him. Huiting laughs alot, but does that mean she doesn't have feelings? And the poke must have hurt, cuz she yelled- "OUCH!" Then she turned around to look at him, then turned back to face the front while muttering "DON'T poke me." So, I think Seow must have thought that she was muttering swear words, cuz he said in this super strict and angry voice - "Huiting! WHAT did you say??" and was totally glaring at her.
So, since Huiting is a strong person who will stand up for her rights when she is wrongly accused, she looked at him, and said in a super confident, self-assured and slightly-angry-yet-not-rude voice- "I said, DON'T poke me." Then, she looked at him until he looked away.
Not that I hate Seow or anything, even though I was super pissed off with him at that point of time, but I REALLY REALLY admire Huiting for the way she handled the situation. She didn't do anything to allow him to scold or book her, yet she drove her point home, in a calm, non-violent way, unlike Mr. Seow, the supposedly more mature one.
Huiting may occasionally crash into walls for no plausible reason, laugh at random moments, mutter nonsense at people, laugh like a hyena, think she is a fairy, etc, but violence is no way to vent out pent up feelings of frustraton and anger. And 2e loves Huiting, I bet people are like, plotting his murder right now or something.
GO HUITING!!!
So, anyway, then subject teachers came up, and started praising their subjects like hell. Btw, while the teachers were talking, Seow was pacing around the area marked as 'Seow's territory.' [refer to the map above] Yeah, so he overheard ALOT of the rubbish we were saying.
So, first was Mrs. Nat Lim with Geography. She rocked as our Geog teacher last year, you know.
Mrs. Lim: Geography is about life!
Esther: Geog is about life, History is about death.
Rivali: Mwahahaha...
Mr. Seow: [hears and starts laughing.]
Then was History, and Ms. Janet Ng came up.. People were totally mocking her. Like, cheering sarcastically and coughing loudly, and when she said something about loving history, the WHOLE sec 2. level was like- "ERR......." Haha.. but she seemed like quite a nice person.. Apparently all her classes love her.
THEN was Literature, with Gina- I mean Mrs. Thomsett. Aiyah, the whole of 2e just calls her 'Gina' now, nobody calls her Mrs. Thomsett anymore, except Zhang Hui. And Chu. So, Mrs. Thomsett was showing some slides on the computer.
Rivali: Can you imagine what would happen if suddenly a picture of her husband popped up on the computer or something?
Esther: Yeah, or she starts showing her wedding pictures.. [apparently she she still shows some of her classes her wedding pics]
A bit later...
Mrs. Thomsett: And Literature really helps me in my relationships. With my mum, my family, my friends, my husband...
Rivali: Ah, I knew we'd get to that eventually.
Esther: Like, totally..
Esther: Look! Mr. Seow's like, totally gazing dreamily at Mrs. Thomsett!
[She, Huiting and me turn to look]
Mr. Seow: [looks at us, frowns, sighs in exasperation, and returns to his seat.]
Mrs. Thomsett: And, you know, Literature helps tone the mind. You can analyse and infer! For example, when two people sit together, their shoulders touching, and they whisper into each others' ears, you can roughly tell their relationship right?
ahemahem*Mr-Seow-and-Mrs-Chan-during-the-crime-prevention-talk*coughcoughcough. [refer to the part above on Mrs. Chan punishing Huiting, Hui Ling and me during the crime prevention talk.]
Then I yelled out- "Mr. Seow and Mrs. Chan!" and a couple of other people said the same thing. And Seow was nearby, so I think he heard, which was the whole point anyway. Cheryl must have said something along those lines too. Because there was a sudden flurry of activity, and I saw Mr. Seow slapping Cheryl softly on the shoulder, and her yelling and everybody screaming.
Then, it was Biology with Mr. Jonathan Tay
First thing he said was - "Girls, Biology is all about sex."
-___-
Oh well, that totally made everyone wake up, and we listened with great interest as he told us about how, before the invention of the microscope, people had thought that every sperm had a little face on it, and if a sperm fertilized an egg, then the baby would look like that little face.
Seriously, how stupid were people in the olden days??
Then he said- " I happen to think that I am rather good at Biology" or something along those lines.
"I happen to think that I am rather good at Biology." --- (1)
"Biology is all about sex." --- (2)
Sub (1) into (2)
"I happen to think that I am rather good at sex."
Muahahahaa.. Tsk, tsk.. Teachers these days.. *shakes head*
THEN it was Physics.. Aiyah, this was super boring lah. We were just mocking her and laughing scornfully. I didn't even know the teacher's name.
Then.. Chemistry, with Mr. David Loh. Esther, Hui Ting and me totally started laughing when he came onstage.
Esther and Me: Look! Mr. Seow is gazing wistfully at Mr. Loh! Unfortunately, he was too far away to hear.. :(
David Loh was telling us about how a wasp stung him on the thumb in class, and how, with a superb knowledge of Chemistry, he was able to pour a soft drink, which contains carbonic acid, onto the alkaline sting, to neutralize the alkaline, and produce salt and water.
Mr. Loh: And the wasp stung-stang.. er.. stung-I mean sting, on my hand was very painful and..
Esther: Oh my gosh..
Yeah, and I am SICK AND TIRED of blogging now.. haha..
Rivali
-__-"
And, at the same time, Mrs. Chan was sitting down and admiring her shoes. They were quite nice, actually. Pink!! Haha.. and definitely nicer than the hideous ones a certain Mrs. ______ used to wear. But the heels were super high, and we had so manyquestions about the physics paper, that poor Mrs. Chan had to keep on walking to get Mrs. Low, and finally, the poor woman was like "OI! u all ask Mrs. Low in one shot can or not? I must keep on running to get her! Very tiring, lor! In heels some more!"
And everyone was laughing, and I'm sure Esther gave her this sympathetic look, like I-totally-agree-with-you-why-dont-you-go-and-have-a-spa-like-i-do-when-im-stressed?
