"Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance."
Random quote from an email I got. But I like it.

You know, yesterday was quite a significant day. ~~I met my new imaginary friend, Evil Bo Cleevil.~~

Lydia booked someone.

Da-da-da-dumm. [creepy music playing in the background slowly fades away.]

But it was more significant because for once, I actually felt bad about breaking a school rule. It wasn't me, not at that time atleast, but I felt bad nonetheless.

Its no secret that almost everyone in 4E loves eating in class. Why you may ask? Is it the insatiable hunger we have (Jin Yee's stomach is a bottomless pit)? Is it the thrill of breaking a school rule( I don't think so, seeing that people in 4E break school rules left, right and center)? Has it become a habit (coughYankacoughcough)?

For me, its because sometimes I have alot of work to do and have no time to eat in the canteen.

Anyway, I won't name the rest of the people there, but Lydia walked in just as Nicole Chan was talking animatedly to us, holding pocky sticks in mid-air and chewing rather obviously. And Lyddie had to book her. The thing is, there was some impact in her booking Nic. Am I making sense?

Like, I've always heard people saying that prefects book people because they have a duty to the school. And I've always wondered what they mean by 'the school.' Certainly not the actual concrete building; Its incapable of emotion. Or is it the prefect mistress who'll forget them a few months after they've left school? I hope not. Or is the duty they have to make students "benefit" from their correction? Can't be, I don't see any advantage in wearing a black scrunchie rather than a brownish-black one.

So I've always personally thought that booking more people does not equal to being a better prefect.

Take the star of this post (Oh no, her head's already swelling up), Lyddie. She doesn't scout the school looking for hapless ~~victims~~ pupils to ~~feed on~~ book. She's understanding and funny, and when she actually booked someone, people resolved not to eat in class again. She looked so upset booking Nicole that I told myself I wouldn't eat in class again. So did Sotong, today.

Isn't it better to book less people so that when you actually do so, there's some impact in the booking?

Instead of it being something of a joke when you book your 129837162986th person of the day?

I'm not pinpointing anyone, seriously. I was just thinking.

Concerning all this, a few quotes! :DDDD

Lydia:[leafing through some newspaper at the back of the class]

Me: Lydia, stop that!

Lydia: Huh?

Me: Stop molesting that newspaper!

Lydia: [a 'oh-no-she's-starting-her-nonsense-again' look forms on her face]

Me: People, first she books someone, now she molests innocent newspapers! Lydia, how could you? Think of how the newspaper feels! The trauma, the pain, the-

Lydia: [whacks me]

Me: Hey!

Lydia: [whacks me again]

Me: Oi! Don't! Xianwen already slapped me thrice today.. because I called her a joke...

Lydia: Well, I'll do the same![whacks me again.]

Me: Lyddie, I felt so bad yesterday.. I vowed not to eat in class again.. I dunno how long it'll last but.... I'll try!

Lydia: Aw, that's so sweet!

Sotong: Me too!

Me: That's nice, Sotong, just finish up that peanut butter sandwich first...

Some people: [Laugh, thinking its a joke]

Sotong: (whispering) I already did!

Cheryl S: Is anyone going for recess? Yankee, Nic, Cheryl Yeong....?

Everyone: Noooo.....

Me: Cheryl, everyone eats in class...

Cassandra: Oi! Mrs. Tee's still here!

Mrs. Tee: (suspiciously) Are you all breaking school rules?

Me: Er... erm.. No! Ofcourse not!

Yanka: Er.. yeah.. she was joking.. erm..

Sotong: Just to tease Cheryl.... Its not true!

Mrs. Tee: (obviously no believing us) If you eat in class, then all the pests will come......Oh wait, I forgot- there are so many pests here already..

4E: WHAT DOES THAT IMPLY???

Haha. I'm finishing up the final cartoons for the class t-shirt now. I honestly hope that you guys liked it. And that everything works out with the printer.

Merry muffins...

Final, full-dress rehearsal for Band[Age] today. It went rather well, considering we're "budget rip-offs" of Battle of the Bands. Yes, that brings us to the main point of today's blogpost: Finding Michelle.

If this were one of Ms. Chuah's English lessons (and thank goodness it isn't- its midnight right now) you could say that the thesis statement for this blogpost is "Finding Michelle are Homos."

For those of you who are blissfully unaware of their existence (take it as a blessing) Finding Michelle is one of the finalist bands in Band[Age]. They're from ACS (I) and were 2nd for Battle of the Bands last year. ~~And, they're homos.~~ They're arrogant, rude, obnoxious nincompoops.

They've picked a fight with almost EVERYONE involved in Band[Age] and that includes the teachers.

When Ivfen had to speak to them about something, they criticised the running of things, then said "Oh wait, I forgot that this is just a budget rip-off of BoB."

[ZOMFG! DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED PROJECT RUNWAY 4! (You can watch the entire season on youtube)

AAAAAARGHHHH! CHRISTIAN WON! CHRISTIAN WON! CHRISTIAN WON!

Ferosha Coutura in the house, bitches!!!!! AAAAAAH! I'm so HAPPY! :DDDDDDD Can you believe it??? I can! Though I thought Jilllian should have been in 2nd place. Whatever!!!

Christian won! Lalalalalalalala. Fierce. Fierce. Fierce. I'm crying tears of joy right now! Like WOOOHOOO!!! He SO deserved to win, okay. And he actually started CRYING when he won? He was crying worse than that annoying Ricky!!!! Well, I'm sure this isn't the last you'll see of Christian Siriano. He is SO my favourite gay fashion designer!! LALALALALALALLALALA!!!]

Back to the twits.
When I called the band leader to tell them about the profile they had to write for themselves, this is what happened:

Me: Hello, can I speak to Benjamin please?
Domestic Helper: Who is this plis?
Me: I'm calling from the Band[Age] concert, MGS.
DH: Ben? Be-enny!!! You is coming to the phone now! You is phone call!
[no answer]
DH: BE-ENNEEEEE!!! (can hear her banging frantically on his room door) Ben! What is this you going... Huh? Yes! You is phone call! What is this ballet concert? BENNY!
[FIVE minutes later]
Ben: (in a bored, emo voice) Hello-o?
Me: Hi, I'm calling from Band-
Ben: I know.
Me: And I was just calling to ask whether you have received the email-
Ben: I have.
Me: Okay, so you have to write a 300-word pro-
Ben: I knooooow.
Me: ER.... And you have to submit it by-
Ben: Yeeeeeees.
Me: ERM, okay-
Ben: BYE. (puts down the phone and goes back to his room to- hmmm.. what exactly WAS he doing in there? And why did it take so long for him to answer the phone? I dint say nothing :D)

Moving on (clears throat), we had to get them a SEPARATE changing room today, because they kept on picking fights with the band they were sharing a room with. They were rude to innocent darlings like Xiao Hui and even the teachers began to hate them...

Speaking of teachers, Ms. Tham rocks! Hahahahaha. She's damn cool okay! Even Mrs. Chen. Actually all the teachers there. Because me, Meera and Su-lyn were acting as the judges for tonight's rehearsal, so were sitting right in front of the teachers (Mrs. Chen, Ms. Tham, Ms. Lau, and Ms. Yang)....

Finding Michelle Lead Singer: Why is this not working.. F*CK lah... (right into the mike)
Mrs. Chen: You're not supposed to use those kind of words..
Ms. Tham: (to us) Tell them that we'll minus marks off their 'cool' factor! Haha!

Later..
FMLS: (uses some other vulgarity)
Everyone: OIIIIIII.....
Ms. Tham: Please be reminded that you're all representing your schools...

Mrs. Chen: Girls, please bear in mind that we all have to be polite to Finding Michelle even though they're a bit..... obnoxious...
Ms. Tham: Obnoxious is an understatement...
Us: woot!

Emcees (Kat and Grace Lee): And now, let us welcome... Livebox!
Everyone: WOOOOOOOO! (maniacal screaming)
Emcees: Finding Michelle!
Everyone: [silence. A few contented sniggers are heard from everyone]
Emcees: Tolstoy!
Everyone: [Loudest. Screaming. Ever. And there were only about 30 of us there.]

And it carried on like that. Finding Michelle looked pissed off.

Oh, and since we were the 'judges', we decided to give our own...er.. comments on the bands. Me, Meera and Su-lyn were all saying things like 'Faaaabulous' and 'Marvellous!!' and, in Su-lyn's case "Absolutely spiffing!" in a fake British accent. For Tolstoy, we just started cheering and screaming things like "Y'all rock!" So much for impartiality.
But for Finding Michelle's turn, they were taking SO MUCH time to set things up and adjust the amps, that everyone was getting quite pissed off. Even Ms. Tham was like "Eh, are any of you going to be in the audi during the actual performance?' So, Meera and Su-lyn were the Front of House crew, but I wasn't so I said so. Then Ms. Tham said "Okay.. I give you permission to lead the jeering tomorrow... if they take too much time." Hahah! But she warned us repeatedly not to overdo it and said that we should remember we were representing our school.

Emcees: Finding Michelle, please step forward for your comments from the judges..
Three of us: (silence)
Su-lyn: Er... Use of vulgarities! Minus marks for.. coolness factor!
Meera: Passable....
Me: (muttering) My dog could sing better...
Finding Michelle Lead Singer: Are these the real judges for tomorrow?
Us: No...
FMLS: Thank God.

And when we have to give comments for Hwa Chong, Meera and Su-lyn started saying stuff in Chinese. They did NOT look happy.

UPDATE: REDEEMING THE RIOT WON!

I WAS HOPING IT WOULD BE HWA CHONG OR TOLSTOY, BUT I GUESS RTR DESERVED IT TOO! TOLSTOY, YOU GUYS ROCK! ZOMBIE! ZOMBIE!

But apart from all that, I really had a fun time. I got to know lots of new people, realised how fun some of my classmates really were (YOU ROCK KAS!) and gained some fresh insights (and none were that great) about old friends. It may sound corny, but I emerged from BAND[AGE] with some idea about how events like these are organised, and it was really really helpful.

So, anyway, yesterday was also the cross-country run and our visit to St. Lukes. In a wonderful display of class unity, almost everyone in 4E finished... close to dead last. Pfffft. We were strolling, and skipping and playing the Animal game. I finished a little earlier than most of 4E, with Deanna and Ding, because we ran the last 5 minutes or so. I'll post photos of it later, k? And more details of St. Lukes...

Paris Hilton turning over a new leaf?

Always one to take the road less travelled Paris Hilton has stepped out with the latest fashion must-have - her very own Buddhist monk, complete with flowing orange robes and a mane of grey hair. The bizarre duo were spotted wandering around LA, taking time to pop into a spiritual book shop and a luxury hotel. The 27-year-old went for and understated look, with a demure white outfit as she browsed the shelves of the Bodhi Tree bookstore. The hotel-heiress has been attempting change her party-girl image and it looks as if the ageing monk is giving her a helping hand ... Paris and her "guru" sat down to read a book called "The Path to the Painted Shaman" and the Hollywood celebrity appeared to be listening intently to what he had to say. The monk also persuaded Paris to give away a piece of diamond jewelry as they wandered the streets together.

God help us. WHAT is the world coming to?

I guess this keeps in line with the sermon we had today at chapel. About Hang Pin, the head torturer during Cambodia's Khmer Rouge regime and how he embraced Christ and decided to pay for his sins after years in hiding? Well, if HE can do it, everyone's favourite porn star can too!

Keep up with the holiness y'all...

ps: This is strictly for Su-lyn and Amrit (though if you're as beeyotchy as them, you may enjoy this). Check out the veins in Paris's feet in the second pic!

Analysing Ken's character now.
Lit.. the only subject I enjoy studying for (results not guaranteed).

There was a wogdog called muffin
and he was a -huffin' and puffin'
due to chronic heart fai-lee-ure.
And when he died,
they stuffed his insides
with alarm clocks and telephones.
