honestly, that was the
worst bio prac ever. and coming from the how-to-fail-bio-prac-miserably-guru, that's saying a lot. and it didnt help that i was the first in the last shift. i hate being first! you can't see anything! not that you're supposed to, but it feels nice to see everyone stumped too. instead of hearing a lot of water boiling behind your ear. thanks a lot, whoever sat behind me, debra is it? your water boiled most noisily, and i felt a lot of convection currents behind me. anyway. walked into the room, nearly spilling half the math stuff out of my folder, crumpling up my entry proof again.. and saw.. prawns. alamak. i have never ever seen a prawn in the bio lab before. have you?? they are darn expensive you know! i remember us discussing it before.. and we said it was too expensive.. but oh no it wasn't too expensive at all, it seems, because there were twenty-odd grey prawns sitting on the tables with pins stuck on the soft boards. then i saw the bunsen burner all set up with the beaker, and i thought hey we're boiling prawns! maybe test for what, protein? enzymes? what the heck? so for the 10 mins before we could open our papers i sat there glaring at the prawn. it was disgusting. and i admit that i pierced its uhh tail a bit viciously just now, but hey i was fed up! anyway it's dead. i wanted orange or lime to come out.. spent 1 year and 10 months learning (finally) how to draw and label oranges and limes.. and guess what.. 11 marks go to drawing a dratted prawn instead.. and since i get a headache looking through the magnifying glass.. i went ahead and drew the prawn and its tail without looking through the glass... and missed noticing that it had hair-like thingys on its tail! what the heck! hair? on prawns? what the bleep! but yeah. almost forgot to title the drawing but i scrawled on a few words before the invigilator said 'pens down'. traumatic. but the first question wasn't that bad. it's the prawn that gets my goat. prawn! damnit, prawn? we've never had animals in the lab. prawn. hey seeds are okay you know. fruits, flowers, blah de blah. but. prawn? you know how many legs that creature had? i just drew a few randomly, didnt want to count. i didnt know prawns had pincers either. damn. and scale-like shell. a real devil to draw. and mine had squished up eyes! it glared at me. and i glared at it. and i drove my pins into its tail with a vengeance. it uh kinda disintegrated after a few pokings. sighh. i'm sorry, my prawn. but i hated you so. prawn oh prawn why did you have to appear, this year of all years? the practs had all been so queer.. i mean.. starch for chem? how often does that happen? and moments plus dunno what forces for phys? together? hmmm.. and now.. prawns! drat, i really should study for the theory papers. i'm studying tomorrow.. *beams*
i want to go for the funfair tmr.. the last time we had a proper one was way back in sec1.. i remember sitting outside the classroom on the last day of school melting candles.. if you care to look (which we did the other day), you'll see wax stains outside 1e2. =D i
loved the funfair. sigh. it's so fun helping to run one. and now we're taking our o's and can't do it this time round. bleaugh. now i know how my seniors felt. bleaughh. may the juniors feel the same way, when it comes to their turn! hah! but i can't go. my sister says i'll get 30 pts if i do. like one afternoon'll make a difference. i generally sleep when i get home from school. but yes i know. theory papers start in days. staring at the calendar. the year has flown. i don't want it to. i want to start again. maybe i'd do things differently. then again, i don't think so. i've always been a last-minute studyer cos well i just don't rmb what i learnt weeks before. so.. no dif? but still.. it's been the sweetest 2 years. minus minor little tiffs. i thought lower sec was beautiful. and i didn't want to leave. but i guess we
really grew only later on. and now i don't want to leave. makes me wonder if i'll ever find more happiness than this, cos things are only improving. maybe i've always tended to look back with rose-tinted glasses. maybe i romanticise everything. but maybe, just maybe, i really really do love our wacky class? =D
-- you come to my senses.. every time i close my eyes.. i have no defences.. -- why you hate this song i don't understand.. i love it.. i'm in love with it.. who needs the world, when you've got songs? =) c'mon, we'll run this last lap together.
it must've been love.
