I really don't Like Thursdays

Firstly, 4 hours of doing relatively little is just a waste of time.

In COMT, we were supposed to have our oral presentation(Mind you, it takes up 15%). The catch here was that we were supposed to have thought up of a topic and to pass it to the lecturer who would put it into a bag for us to randomly choose any topic except ours.

I think another class(Lee E's) was just to be prepared by the lecturer.Good ma.

I was in group 3(randomly placed) and I picked this topic:

For those who cannot read it, my topic is: Are Singaporeans Kiasu(scared to lose)? Initial reaction of mine was,"Oh my god". (By the way, someone in my group drew my topic title, "Resources")

Went outside to prepare by writing the Yes and No. For a 2 minutes speech, I sure wrote a lot and never mentioned all the points because a girl was waving her hands to signal me that I had 45 Seconds left(Can be penalised should the speech exceed 2 min 15 secs as well as under 1 min 30 secs)

Seriously, from this topic, I was sure that the cons would surely outweigh the pros nevertheless, I racked my brains to 'Highlight that Singaporeans are not Kiasu'. And therefore compiled this much that I think should last for a 5 minutes speech:

Forget it should you not be able to read it. I do apologise on those long structure as well as unreadable handwriting(It was scrawled out in a rush plus I am not the note taking type. I am the essay type.)

What do you people expect when we only have 8 minutes to come up with these?(laughs) Although we are allowed notebooks to aid us, I did not use my notebook at all.(Can imagine that I panic much)

Ok. The usual. I was fidgeting and adding in several 'Singlish' such as "La, Hor". If you call that fidgeting, I would say it's more like I moved forwards to address the crowd. And my starting line? "I'd assume that all of us here would want freebies, right?" Well, Kiasu ma!

With hardly much time left to mention the fact that Singaporeans are not Kiasu, I cited the fact on charity on the Sichun Earthquake. Consider this: If Singaporeans are Kiasu, would they not worry about what benefits they will reap in return of the donations?

At the end of it all, he lecturer went, "Well, you guys did not do as well as I hoped.." when probed on asking how well we fare.

Although, she did mention, "The highest scorer is the one whereby you guys clapped the loudest for." (How lame, the clapping sound the same)

"Of course, it's Vivian. I feel that she's very natural and confident" The class clapped and I was like,"Huh? No need to do that la"(Magic keyword I keep hearing-Confident. Seriously, I wasn't even that sure. Thought I went out of point) Only she would not reveal the marks until next week.

Now In IAC and I am so bored that I can actually blog.(How can you tell?) My group is currently compiling the survey questions while I am bored like hell. I can't wait just going to buy more Wii games after this torture.

I wanna buy a shooting game! I insist. I don't want the plain old sports thing anymore. With more and more shooting, I think I want to join a CCA that uses guns one(I think don't have de. Sad sia)

I met my parents and went to Redhill to eat Meepok(Dry as usual) and then, shopped for some new games. Afterwards, went to Sim Lim Square to purchase a new casing for my notebook. My brother has a good eye for this design that I also liked.

At 3 plus,went to KK hospital to accompany my brother for his X-ray check-up. There were many rooms there with a 'Radioactive! Do not enter' signs on them. And all this time, there were children running around.

Finally got to see my brother's X-rays for his spine. It's not that severe, or so the doctor claimed. "Should have bought that-" my dad remarked while I went, "I told you,"(We went to a store there that shows a model of the spinal cord. I jested, "Look, I found Bro's spine.)

Lols.. Besides the spine model, there was also a book on, "How to tell your children about God"(Or something like that) It was the illustration's dialogue that made me laughed. The picture was a child asking, "Can I tell Knock-knock jokes to God?" while her mother, in a prayer position looks at her.

Later on, bought curry fish head for dinner at grandmother's place. It was nice!(And so were the durians)
