love is our resistance: syringe

it was SPORTS CARNIVAL yesterday! it was definitely a class day, we spent the ENTIRE DAY with our classmates all the way until night. all of us were decked in red, including both our home tutors. it was kinda cool though, we managed to stand out due to the extremely striking colours. there were even classes without class shirts, those were boring.

the weather was a killer in the morning--we were exposed to the direct sunlight for the entire duration of our games.

the teachers' race was hilarious, we have never seen our teachers run like that before. the thought of it actually makes me laugh. we never knew mr burns (a nickname cos he looks like mr burns from the simpsons), the chinese teacher, had so much power although he is like 50 plus years old already. however i think the track was spiked with soap or something, there was one small part of the track where teachers kept slipping on. since we were right in front of it, we caught all the funny action. mr christopher tay, supposedly the fastest runner in the school (?!?!) was rather unfortunate and became one of the first victims of the 'drift zone'. the way he went down was so funny i almost died laughing. another one of the unfortunate was mr leong, although he recovered surprsingly fast that it didn't look like a fall at all.

our home tutor's team got in second i think, if i remember correctly. we didn't realise for these few months that mrs leong was a fast runner as well. haha.

go mrs leong!

next were the inter-class games. our class was assigned to modified handball and captain's ball, and while the captain's ball team did quite well, the handball team got owned real badly. we were up against T10, 35 and 36. we won none of the games, but still had tons of fun. that was all it was all about anyway.

i still recall the funny moments of the game. some of the matches were more of a joke rather than a competition. here is one scenario.

TOH ZILING (aims the ball at one of our team's player's): PASS!

while the ball is still in mid-air, the opposing team's player intercepts it and gets away.

ZILING (apparently appalled that a guy just intercepted her pass and the fact that she is sexist): (screams) EHHHHHHH!!!!! that was my ball! how can you do that?!?!?!!!

OPPOSING PLAYER: ??!?!

ZILING: (continues screaming) THAT'S NOT FAIR! YOU ARE A GUY! YOU CAN'T BULLY GIRLS!

PLAYER: ......??!?!

SPECTATORS: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

the handballl team: me, k.j., aaron, fabian, ziling, jeslyn, lauren, sarah & bi qi

after the games, we were made to sit in the court in the blazing hot sun for about an hour or two before moving to the hall. in this span of time, our classmates got really bored so we started fooling around and taking class photos in the weirdest poses.

the moment we were released, we had our class lunch at Mad Jack's, which was down the road. we were supposed to walk there, but it was two bus stops down and we were so tired we didn't want to walk. however most of us eventually did, but on the way there we suddenly saw mr li's car drive past, and in the front seat stuffed with two of our classmates, while the back seat held four. it was overcrowded and some of them were sticking out the window. the walking group then looked back and realised that half the class had vanished. haha.

the lunch was courtesy of mrs leong, our HT. she didn't want to accept the money we gave her. she is so nice! (and mad jack's isn't exactly considered cheap either.)

THANK YOU MUMMY! :)

piong, ziling and audrey (obviously) pissed with the weather

the lunch at mad jack's

while some of our classmates left after the lunch, few of us, together with mr li went to visit town, supposedly to watch a movie but upon reaching there discovered that there was nothing nice to watch other than 28 Weeks Later, which was M18. so we ended up shopping around for piong's mission objective (to buy a bottle in a colour other than pink). piong decided on yellow, and a few hours before dinner we decided to pay a visit to the class-friendly TOYS-R'-US, to wreack havoc and take rubbish pictures and video.
