Life in Singapore-As a student cont'd

11.45 am: Awwww. You just had some food and it is churning around happily in your stomach when you hear an idiot blow the whistle signalling end of recess. (Don't you wish you can clobber him?) Anyway, checking the timetable reveals that the next lesson of the day is chemistry or chem for short. Further checking reveals that you forgot to bring ur chem file and C.C is gonna be mad....... good luck!!!! *Hears sounds of immense pain*

12.45 pm: Phew!!! Last lesson of the day before lunch and then IS (independent study- sounds disgusting) and the mystery lesson is......*drumroll* Geography. At least a good lesson cos u can sleep all you like and the teacher a.k.a KFC doesnt care. *Sounds of bell ringing* End of lesson.

Lunch: Time to catch up with ur pals CSC and SY. *Listen to their "interesting" conversations* (samples will be uploaded in future) After that, time to listen to ted's "interesting" and latest rakion escapades of his uber BS or blacksmith.

2.00 pm: IS TIME!!! Basically, do your homework (unsupervised) and listen to your fav mp3 soundtracks until 3pm while listening to the class clowns provide free entertainment.

3.00 pm: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU SURVIVED A SCHOOL DAY AND LIVED TO TELL OTHERS. Pat yourself on the back and repeat the above scenario with different combos of lesson 5 times and you will have got through a week.

Life in Singapore-as a student

6 am: Ringggg........ wake up!!! Its *sigh* yet another day at school. Its funny how weird things taste in the morning. So, breakfast is skipped

7 am: Reach the canteen just in time to see CSC, the dreaded irritant walk up to the canteen table. *Talk lame stuff* <7.15> Hi SY!! <7.25> Hi ted!!! *discuss more lame stuff*

7.30 am: *School please get ready for flag-raising!* <1> *National anthem starts* followed by announcements, then morning digest [A kind of daily boring entertainment) by some person(s) babbling nonsense. *School you may now stand and return to your classes* *End of assembly*

7.45 am: First lesson of the day. "Good morning Mr/Mrs/Ms xyz". Lessons start. Its such a beautiful day, the sun is shining (not too brightly) and you feel sooo comfortable. The desk suddenly seems to be a very appealing place to rest your head while the teacher is mumbling something about trigonometry and triangles. (like who listens anyway) *Ringgg* End of lesson 1.

8.45 am: 2nd lesson of the day. You suddenly feel more refreshed after your nap but you suddenly feel tired again. Its the dreaded period with ur MT teacher and you forgot to bring ur materials. (uh-oh) Somehow u get pass this lesson to the next. *Ringgg* End of lesson 2.

9.45 am: Only one more lesson to recess!!! *Sigh* its SS now (social studies) a.k.a propaganda lessons. While your teacher is droning about the UN and its activities blah blah... you're wondering whats the point of studying such a subject and you marvel how a qn like "The UN is highly sucessful in eradicating hunger in the world. Do you agree?" can require an answer spanning 2 pages. Drone........drone.......class dismissed......."WHAT!" *zoom* to the canteen.

10.45 am: YAY! ITS RECESS TIME. But...look at the queues, so longgg. =.= when you finished queueing for your food you discover (to your horror) theres only 5 minutes left. So you stuff the food into your mouth as fast as you can so you can be in time for the next lesson. (Why is it always so rushing?) End of recess.


*The rest of the school timetable will be posted some other time as I fear you could die of boredom. p.s: im not responsible for any deaths, injuries, mental illnesses etc. that may occur during the perusing of this blog.
