It's the third week of sec 4! Surprisingly, it seems our workload has decreased after the insane rush to give out homework in the first week. This weekend and last were relatively free of homework, except for the usual Maths and Science ones. D: So here i am, using up my free time to post about random thoughts and events. This scenario is told with all due respects to all gentlemen. The other day on the bus, i was going to alight at my stop. Then i was about to cut in front of a girl standing at the exit, before i realised she was alighting too. Both of us paused at the exit as we both reached there at about the same time. So i took a step back and ushered her out with my hand signal and she obliged, striding out without even batting an eyelid. However, the people around me (mostly students from neighbourhood schools) showed no reaction and didn't remark "Wah!" at my gentlemanliness. Seeing such actions, I am disappointed. As students, trained to be gentlemen, these little acts should be seen as gentlemanly. And i should be praised for it. :( I always thought that Singapore is a country that is brimming with such rewards, but today I am duly disappointed. [For those not in the know, that was just a parody of a recent student's "suggestion", im not serious about being [i]that[/i] arrogant xD] Sec 1 PTG Ushering. A time of service, exploration and four hours of CIP. Did i mention we actually only did work for about 2 hours? We had only 13 ushers from iSpark iCMG, though there were probably at least 20 more deployed from the Council and the other consortiums. An achievement of efficiency compared to SLim's 42 ushers for the Humainities Seminar (which had no members of the public, btw.) Though the breifing beforehand lasted for 1.5 hours, and consisted of us moving furniture, stealing chairs and screwing screws with scissors. (Swee Kiat managed to get a screwdriver from the estate office in the end, but we managed to do it with Kuan Yue's pro scissors before he returned. Hope it isn't too blunt now. D:) Then we stood/sat around while the parents attended their various presentations, watched EC3 get screwed by Hon and ate leftover beehoon from the refreshments for dinner. Which were quite bad, so that explains why they weren't finished even though all the other food was snapped up. Did i mention we actually got 4 hours of CIP from slacking around? Not too bad, considering the only sacrifice we made was our dinner. I hope Krison doesn't read this, like how he reads Zong Xian's (and many other students') blog. |
