I Love Competitions And Events. Not.

Ah... I seem to be extremely pessimistic for the past 1 week or so, to the extent of rapid firing posts like noone's business.

So, the results for the first season of the My Pride, My Class's Honour competition came out on Monday. The principal announced it in his usual annoying way. By usual annoying way, I mean his usual way of delivering a speech. First he'll speak a few lines, then a 5 second pause. Rinse and repeat. No wonder that our recess was normally short of 5, 10 minutes or that we completely skip the 4th period on Monday.

Anyways, we finished right in the middle: 9th out of the total of 18 classes. Our dear form teacher wasn't too pleased, after all, it was considered a big shame for the 4th class to place 9th in the competition. On the plus side, we weren't among the classes which have less than 60 points. On the down side, I ended up being the trump card for the English essay writing competition. On the plus side again, I get to skip Kuk Fa's algebra lesson when I'm sitting down writing like a maniac in maniacal looking handwriting during the competition! On the down side again, that means I'll miss Momo's physics lesson. Rats. That'll mean I'll be short on a grand total of 2 lessons. Again, that'll mean all the talk about reflections and mirrors and so on will make even less sense then they do already.

Then there's the annual brutal advertising campaign by the drama club. This time they're trying to persuade us to join this camp during the school holidays. The name translates to "Demon Circus", or "Ghost Circus", or even "Demonic Circus", it all depends on how you translate the Chinese word "gui". Their advertising is quite brutal compared to the other clubs and societies, mainly because they have the manpower to do so, and second, they are part of the drama club after all, so they aren't afraid to "throw face".

Teachers' Day and Sports Day are coming up, though Teachers' Day is coming earlier than Sports Day. I'm not even sure which design our class is using for the class shirt. Which reminds me... I'm fed up with seeing hearts everywhere. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew that the classes are all named after some virtue or good quality, I would have wondered why didn't we call this class 2 Valentine, or 2 Heart instead of 2 Ai.

Time to raid the fridge. Bye for now.
