Friday, 6th August 2010...

Last day of the semester. Have a lesson early in the morning at 9am. CAS tutorial. Went to school in a different way. Took bus 27 and it was damn crowded. Alighted outside IKEA and took bus 168 to the stop after SAFRA and walked to school. When I reached Level 1, saw Mr Gerald Koh walking into the lab (class). I went in. Only got 5 people (Jiamin, Wenbin, Syafiqah, Priscilla and Melody). I was the 6th. Less than half of the class came.

Got back project, got an "A". Combined with Mid-sem test, I got 2 "A". Then returned practical test. Because of 1 stupid mistake, I got a "C". Pulled my grades down to B+. Hope main exams can pull it up? Hope so.

After the class, the 5 of us (Allen, Jiamin, Wenbin, jiong Zhen and I) went to Business park to grab a bite. Jerald came to school early so he find us at Biz park. Went to lecture after that.

After lecture, had lunch and we had fun playing Shoot-u! Went for lesson later.

Damn embarrassing moment in lesson. Remember last year during APEL class I read something from the book then got lost in between the sentences, found it, read, then lost where I was reading then I laugh? Something similar happened. Lets start from the start of the tutorial.

We reached at 2pm. Just nice on the dot. Guess how many people were in class? ONLY ONE PERSON!!! Only Fiona and the tutor. We went in and increased the number to 5. This week, the tutor will provide the answer but we will have to read out the questions. Wenbin read question 1 because Fiona was like dun want to read so Wenbin just said: A group of poly students... Then tutor went through the answer for question 1.

Attendance was only 14 people. So many people never come but it was 1 more than last week. Then question 2. No one read so i read it out.

Question 2: Jasper buys an original painting by Pablo... Jasper is a strong believer in pablo's works and gets Vince, a talented young artist to make a dozen reproductions of the painting. Vince spent one week working eight hours a day...

This is part of halfway and part of question 2. While reading through it, it went smoothly until the last sentence as quoted above. The sentence was: Vince spent one week working eight hours a day... This was how I read it: Vince spent one week working (Wenbin ZAPPED my fatal spot) EEEEEEIGT HOURS (pitch a little higher and with a jump) a day... Burst out laughing...

Only Wenbin and I knew what happened and laughed, Allen laughed too when we laughed. Then tutor said: Why did you stop suddenly, continue reading. She noticed I waas laughing then the whole class looked here. I took the tutorial question, put in front of my face and continue laughing. Allen read the remaining question for me. Wth it is quite embarrassing.

After lesson, went down to free access lab to find How Cher and Minhui. Mabel came down after the lesson. Went up to find luck Koon to pass him tutorial and he is with Ivan. Waited for Allen before we went to the bus stop. The rest (except Wenbin) took bus 69 to Bedok while How Cher and I went to collect How Cher's bicycle. He cycled me to the bus stop.

Did 2 foolish things:

1) There was someone walking in front of us and How Cher asked me to say excuse me. I didn't because I thought he will ring the bell. Then he shouted it instead and I realised he have no bell on his bicycle.

2) While cycling through the flat where How Cher lived in, someone came out of the lift and How Cher said that was her mum. I though he was kidding until How Cher said I send my friend to the bus stop. Never greet her. My bad :(

On the other hand, there were funny stuffs as well:

1)How Cher still sang when he was cycling me to the bus stop. He panted and sang at the same time. So it was like he sang one sentence then gasped for air a few times and continued. Lol. I spent 20% of the trip walking so that he will not be tired.

2) I cycled on his bicycle. My first step and then miscalculated and turned the bicycle in his direction and braked before going right on track. His reaction was funny.

3) We did not sat on the bicycle together while crossing the road which made the bicycle stopped halfway last time.

While reaching the bus stop, a bus 27 drove past. Hahas that was a full one. In less than 2 minutes, a 10% empty bus came. Lucky. Went home...
