Teacher's Day Preparations! And SMILE!

My school, apart from preparing for the mid-year exams( which are probably designed to drive both teachers and students crazy) and the 学艺展(to impress those Year 6 students and whoever decided to drop in), is also starting to prepare for Teacher's Day. That's putting a bit of strain for Feijin and Wan Zi, as they're in charge of the preparations for our class: food and drink, entertainment( for teachers), decorations, hygiene after "partying" around...

I think the point of Teacher's Day here is that teachers play while the students plan and do all the hard work. I haven't decided what to bring for Teacher's Day yet( everyone has to bring something, even if they are staying in the hostel), and I have to confirm by Saturday. Watermelon? Jelly? Or Mum's famous chicken curry?(I can't bring junk food cos I don't stay in the hostel)

The 学艺展 is supposed to impress those Year 6 students so that they pick to go to Chong Hwa, take the entrance exam, and then cry or fly, and to get people to come to the school for stuff such as this Folk Song Cafe and to look at the Inventing Club's Rube Goldberg or to gawp at the students' pets(I think it's the Biology Club's idea).

The mid-year exam is coming, and my class has quietened down to listen to whatever the teacher's saying( except fo madam Shanta's class). We're quite behind in some subjects, especially geography: we're only at chapter 9(or was it 10?) and the exam's gonna test us until chapter 11!And there's only 1 or 2 weeks left! Though we're considered "fast" cos all the other classes are still on chapter 7.(told you it's designed to drive everyone crazy)

In conjunction to this "limau"运动,sorry, I mean "礼貌运动", the school's launchedthis smiling competition: snap a pic of yourself in school uniform smiling and stand a chance to win great prizes. My class teacher's ordered everyone to snap a pic, but I really hate to snap pics of myself! Oh well...
