Tuesday, June 3

Today wasnt as tiring as yesterday-I think yesterday was so tiring because I was suffering from the effects of saturday's sleepless sundown marathon.

As usual, I was early to reach again. The one bad thing about being the only one from my class there is that I have nobody to talk to when Im there early in the morning. So I just sit at the bench, pretending to be occupied by my handphone, bag, etc. I even made an unnecessary trip to the toilet!

Then finally my teacher came. And soon after the children and my partner came. The trip to the botanical garden was, truth to be told, a really boring one. I didnt care for all the flowers and trees and stuffs at all. Besides, I didnt know anything about them. So all I did was to yell at the kids, "Okay, move along! Walk faster!! Don't walk there!"

I cant really remember much about the trip but I did realise that by the time we got onto the mini van on our way back, I was already given several nicknames by them. Some called me Abalone(common and expected since i get that from my school mates last time too), exterminator (This one is seriously surprising. I didnt think I look any bit like a person who can exterminate others...hmmm) as well as umbrella jie jie(since I keep helping them hold their umbrellas) and thermometer(I dunno how the hell did this name come about! Seriously no link at all!)

When we got back to rgps, You Xiang(my partner's name) told me that Nurul lost my umbrella because she left it in the bus! I dont blame her, since kids can be really careless and I understand that perfectly, but I cant help feeling worried about what will happen if it rains on my way home. Lunch was terrible. Just weird lumps of rice with one measly piece of chicken and a slice of cucumber. Okay but at least it was better than last year's food. I think.

After lunch I began wandering around again, wondering(You notice that when I start wandering around, my mind will wonder about stuffs too) whether I should go to the playground and help them turn the playground thing again. Then I spotted Nicole( Gabriel and Nicole are twins!!) and she told me she was bored with playing at the playground, so I suggested going to play basketball. It was definitely a right choice mann. Even though the ball and floor was all wet and yucky, but it was the most fun break I've had so far! We tried all sorts of angles to shoot the ball into and then tried to shoot from far. The far shots mostly failed though. We don't have enough arm strength.

My partner joined us for a while. He's so tall (1.82cm!) he could even do a slam dunk! But I think after a while he kinda got bored and just left for the playground...maybe to help them turn that thing? Haha. Soon after, we were joined by a few guys and a girl. So we split into two groups-girls team and boys team. Mind you, there are only three girls compared to about 5, 6 boys. But at the end of the "match", the girls team won 8-3, with me and nicole scoring the 8 shots. Eventually near the end, because the girl's team was winning by such a large margin, a few boys actually said they wanted to join the girl's team instead! LOL.

I was so tired after running up and down the basket ball court that I simply just sat at the back of the class, exhausted. As usual, the experiments revealed to a large extent of my limited knowledge to my partner, who was at times so exasperated that he asked(in chinese), "你在学校是读什么的？" To which I replied, BCME. And then he just stared at me for a few seconds..."Then 这个你都不懂？"

Wahaha...yeah I know my science sucks. My partner practically had to explain every single simplest thing to me. I even had to bite my own tongue sometimes to refrain from asking those questions that would possibly cause him to vomit blood. At times I really think he was utterly disgusted by my ignorance in practically everything. Then there was an instance whereby I was saying some stuffs about borders to kenneth and he was just standing beside me, silently listening and observing. All of a sudden, he just laughed, took a paper or something and smacked me lightly on my arm saying, "你讲什么屁la! hahaha" and then he walked away, leaving me slightly puzzled, because I thought what I was saying made perfect sense to me.

After tea I got so sian of climbing up the stairs that I talked Nicole into taking the lift up to the third floor with me. At first she appeared rather excited. Then when we were in the lift she got so worried about being spotted taking the lift and kept muttering about how she's in deep trouble. Oops. My fault heehee.

The art and crafts part was boring though. I just walked about doing nothing much in particular. Then soon(too soon actually) the day was over. And I kinda left in a hurry since it was beginning to drizzle, like I had expected, and I didnt want to get caught in the middle of the rain without any umbrella(since the kid lost mine). In fact, I ran all the way to the bus stop so that I wont get drenched. In the end, I didnt have to run since it continued to drizzle without the rain getting heavier. Gah. Heaven playing trick on me mann. I bet I must have looked so stupid running all the way to the bus stop as though chasing after some bus but in the end just plonking down on the seat and watching the bus(not my bus) leave.

Oh wells...Im looking forward to another day at dvc! And I seriously don't want it to end so fast! :(

Im Off!

Our Promise (:
