Hi all! I;m trying this new thing where I do shorter posts, more frequently instead of studying for mid years. Yeah. Unfortunately, I have to eat my words, because I started this post a week ago. :(
Anyway, Friday was really fun because we started youtubing during EMath and English! Seriously, our class is the best when it comes to manipulating teachers into letting us procrastinate. But to be fair, we did it only for the nonsense lessons- towards the end of Emaths cuz we had finished the syllabus? No comment for English.
This is one of the videos we watched.
I found this one: She's really improved! Her singing reminds me of Cheryl Seah though!
Mrs. Tee's Reactions to all the videos: "Girls, is this what you spend you free time doing?"
Erm, yes, unfortunately.
Ms. Chuah's reaction: She started laughing! HAHAHAAHA.
Ms. Chuah: Girls, this video has no connection to our English lesson. Yanka: Oi! [highlights the title of the Video which says "In ENGLISH SUBTITLES"] 4E: It does! It shows us how not to speak English! ------------------------
I left my quotes book in school :( Nevermind, today was my.. BENGALI MID YEAR EXAM! (Told you, the post is outdated)
Seriously, I've never said so many swear words in my mind over such a short period of time, like, ever.
Grey words are Bengali.
Rivali's Thought process for Paper 1:
Okay, you understand the topics for the letter, right? Okay, pick number 1, cuz you'll be able to write it better... 'Write a letter to your friend describing a family trip to a Mountainous Region.' Just hope that_(a bengali word)__means mountainous area... or you're screwed. It did mean mountain by the way. Er.. okay.. atleast you know the letter format for an informal letter... OR DO YOU? Maybe theres no difference between the letter formats.. Remember Su-lyn asked you a really long time ago, "How can we be sure that everything we're experiencing is not a figment of our imagination?" Hmmm.. I suppose- wait, Focus, FOCUS! The Bengali Teacher is glaring at you. Robot. Rivali. surveys. scene. Why. is. Bengali.teacher. glaring. at. Robot. Because. everyone. has. written. half. a. page. and. robot. has. not. Hah, it would be fun to be a robot.... AAARGH, FOCUS!
Fifteen minutes later: [Writing] The morning sun tinted the ice red.... How do you say that in Bengali? Err..the morning sun turned -ice... red.. colour. Okay... expand on that.. Erm, what are the 1340918734091 Bengali words you memorised last night in a last minute effort to pass? Er... Blood droplets... Escape.. er,,. I know!The red ice made it seem as if blood was flowing from the very pores of the mountain.Er... I guess it'll do. Gosh, I can't believe I actually wrote that.
Later, when writing the compo: Oh shit, you don't understand even ONE of the three topics you have to choose from. Number 1: Write about a _____ you admire the most... Er does ____ mean play? Or actor.. erm.. (Later I found out it meant LEADER). Nevermind, screw that. No point writing out of point. Haha.No POINT. Out of POINT. Point.. (chuckles to herself) Wait, remember last time, the teacher said that if she caught you laughing, she'd throw you out of class? Okay. Stop laughing. Number 2: ___(long bengali sentence)___ Er.. Hell, I can't even read the words, talk about understanding it! That squiggly line over there.. erm... er... ah.. screw that TOO.. Wow, you're really getting the hang of screwing things.. (Not in the Amrit kind of way though.. *cough*). Hahaha. Amrit's probably doing her exam now too.. So is Yanka... No, Yanka's probably stealing a sip of vodka every now and then.. Helps her "concentrate" haha.. Wait, focus, focus. I should have some sort of 'focus button' on my body. Then everytime I wanted to focus, I'd just press that button... Hmm... That's interesting.. I wonder what kind of buttons my friends would want to have.. For Sotong, I guess she'd probably say something about everyone being different, therefore we should not conform by changing ourselves... For Su-lyn, a 'stop procrastinating' button... For Amrit a "stop being so horny" button.. For Meera? Hmm.. she thinks she's perfect... Errr... FOCUS.. Okay, for the last topic, you understand 3 out of the 4 main words.. Good.. Habits.. Character.. building... ______. Hmm.. _____ must mean constructive. Okay, topic chosen!
Thank goodness, the last word meant 'important', which was pretty close to 'constructive..'
UPDATE: I GOT AN A1!!! I can't believe it! HAHAHAHAHA. I don't get this high for some of my other subjects that are written in English! HAHAHA.
Translated from bengali:
Bengali Teacher: I guess, you think you're the Queen of the World now? Because of ONE A1? Me: (muttering) I always did, my dear. Bengali Teacher?: (not hearing) So... you're just going to forget about Bengali now, I'm sure? Concentrate on your other subjects which are undoubtably 'more important'? Me: No, teacher. There have been still the O-levels. I will keep on tried. Bengali Teacher: [faints at my grammar]
Anyhoo, darlings, I'm going to sleep now. All three of my dogs refuse to leave my room. Because its going to rain... And when it starts raining, they'll get on my bed. Sigh. AND I'm allergic to fur? Yeah :(
Oh, Cassandra and Sotong, I think you guys are one of the few people in class who actually care about other people. Thanks so much for being there. You know when it comes to people actually having compassion for others, so much of it is lacking in 4E. There's Ding, Cass and Xing Yi. Then there's the Cheryl Seah gang. I remember last year, they sat at Mr. Yeong's table during recess, because he was all alone? Then there's Lyddie, whom I sincerely feel is a nice person. And then? Not very many more. I mean, I'm not saying that they're lacking in that care, but you have to show it. I've wasted my bloody time, writing 4 different drafts for that stupid Hua Yu Cool jingle for GEL. I don't even speak the language? And people were saying stuff like "this doesn't sound like a jingle." So fine, I took it as constructive critiscism, and changed it. But AFTER spitting out the finalized version, you bunch of morons couldn't even practice? I mean, I don't give a shit about GEL, I think the MGS version of 'values' differs GREATLY from what true values are. Neither do I give a shit about whether or not the whole bunch of you make bloody fools of yourselves on stage tomorrow. But DON'T make ME waste my time. I have better things to do. I think what pissed me off the most was.. nevermind. I was going to write her name, then decided against it, then I was going to put 'person X' instead of her name but.. unpleasant memories of Sec 2 surfaced. Haha. You know what happened? In 2e, we were supposed to complete some survey or whatever. So during class time, we were in the com lab with Mr. Seow. Then Mrs. Chen walked in and, keeping with the MGS tradition, we didn't bother to greet her. Then he started yelling at us really badly. (Think Meera x10, thought I'm sorry if I offended either of you by making this comparison) Anyway, I called him Person X and insulted him on my blog.... and months later I found out from him that he had read the post and known who I was talking about.
Yikes.
ANYWAY, what was I saying eons ago about going to sleep? Yeah. Goodnight. (starts to shove dogs out of room)
YShe laughed. And laughed. And laughed yet again.;;
