I <3: Family, My dogs, 2e, 4e, MORONS, painting, designing, writing weird stories, being generally weird, unsettling people...
Why is it that I make assumptions, then based on these assumptions go ahead and make fun of people thinking what I'm doing is justified, and then, awhile later find out something which makes me totally regret my actions?
Argh.
Today was......
There was a social studies Source-based test. There were 2 questions. I didn't realise that there was a second question until five minutes before the end of the test. God pleasepleaseplease let me pass!! I studied for the test even though it was source-based. I don't deserve this.
Today was the Teacher-Pupil Conference. April had to see Mrs. Tee while Noey and me had to see Mr. Seow. Noelle and me were terrified, but in the end it was really okay. Mr. Seow was quite nice.
Whenever I look back at 2e, I have fond memories of us laughing, bullying each other, bullying teachers, bullying teachers, bullying teachers... And now its like, I was thinking, while we were having so much 'fun,' did we ever realize that- Aiyah nevermind.
AAAAAARRGH.
Seriously, why is there always something bad which overshadows the good things? I'm not being emo or anything- but, have you noticed?
Today, during assembly, it was announced that Ms. Lau was not in school. All of us started cheering - one free period!! And then? I hear from Su-lyn that the reason why she didn't come is because her grandmother died.
One day, I was at tuition. It was during the holidays, so it was in the morning, k? Then, suddenly this guy, maybe 17 or 18? walks into the room where all of us were having group tuition. He looked a bit too old to be in our class, but I thought that maybe I had estimated his age wrongly or something, since our tuition teacher was speaking to him like she would to a child.
Boy: I'm going home to have breakfast. Tuition Teacher: No! Don't go! Stay here awhile longer, lah. Boy: I want to eat breakfast. Tuition Teacher: You want to eat here? I can ask the maid to make something for you.. Boy: No... I'll come back after breakfast. Tuition Teacher: Okay, I'll miss you....
That was the sort of dialogue going on. You know, like when a teacher is 'making fun' of a student by talking down to him or her? Like that.
So, me and the other kids thought that both our tuition teacher and the boy were joking around, you know? So we were laughing and giggling.
Then, the boy leaves.
Our tuition teacher says- "You know, when I used to teach in school last time, I noticed that boy. The others were bullying him, so I went to sayang him. And since I was so nice to him, he sort of remained 'attached' to me."
The first warning bell rings. Normally, people wouldn't stick to someone like that.
My teacher continued- "He lives very close by- just around the corner you know? I ask him to come over regularly, for a cup of tea or whatever, because his parents don't really look after him. He's almost 22."
Before I can even think, she says- "He. is. autistic." When I and my friends laughed, it was because of the tuition teacher's tone of voice; I was not laughing at him. But I was still very upset by the fact that, in the end, we were still laughing. And I couldn't explain to that boy that I was not laughing at him right? Cuz he was gone.
I just went home and cried. :(
And i think, since then, I think twice before laughing at things.
Well, today showed that I still had a long way to go.
YShe laughed. And laughed. And laughed yet again.;;
