9 September 2009

Maybe there really is something truly magical about this day.

A lot of extraordinary things happened. Not all of them were good, but they were definitely very memorable! If it were just any typical Wednesday, I probably would have thrown a huge tantrum, sulk and scowl for the whole day, and glare at everyone who inhale the same air as I do for everything that happened today.

Not that I didn't do the above just now. I just ... er, recovered sooner. Which is quite abnormal. I mean, it's ME I'm talking about.

So. I, along with the majority of my classmates, experienced our very first spot check today! It was actually pretty exciting. Putting aside the fact(s) that quite a lot of things - including Rui Mei's and mine - were confiscated, and we all had to stand outside the class in the sweltering heat, and at the same time staring furiously at the prefects rummaging through our belongings inside the classroom.

And grumbling about how they don't respect our privacy. Acting bewildered and pretending to be shocked when they found something "illegal" in our bags.

Fine. Cross out that last part.

I was freaking pissed. I mean, who wouldn't be, right. Your stuff. Being rummaged through by total strangers.

Err, sort of took the opportunity to scold one of the (dumb) prefects, who was probably blind or something, as she obviously couldn't see that I was trying to wear my shoes by holding on to the window sill for support (weird sentence, I know). She kept asking me to go "stand over there in the line". Should have just grabbed onto her shoulder for support instead and then accidentally (on purpose) tear her shirt or something. Bastard.

Yes, we had to take off our shoes. Arrgh. Unfortunately I broke the habit of not changing my socks or washing my shoes for at least 2 years. Or the prefects would have passed out before they get the chance to check anything. Lalala.

We also shouted some things into the class - which we think the prefects and teacher chose not to hear (or didn't hear, which I highly doubt) - like, hey, why don't you just take the whole board down and check whether there are anything hidden behind? Drill a hole in the wall to see if any liquid papers are hidden inside? (OK. Not that. I have to stop making up stories, mwahaha)

Ugh, the WAY they were checking behind the papers stapled onto the board ... what? What could be hidden there, a string? A rubber band? No. Wait. I know! A liquid paper! As they are completely flat and can be slipped behind a stapled piece of paper on the board. *roll eyes*

After a while, the teacher finally thanked us (for our cooperation? Like we had a choice...) and allowed us to re-enter the classroom. I loved how HP said "you're welcome" to her. I was pretty sure I detected sarcasm in her voice. I don't know. Couldn't be 100% sure. xD

So, my adorable orange pill earrings (A PRESENT FROM EELENG, NO LESS, WTF) were confiscated. The prefect was cute enough to ask me : "Do you want this back?"

And I told her : "If I can, of course I want it back." Like duh. Duhhh.

Then she said : "Oh, gotta ask the teacher first."

Toot. That was weird. But no matter. I think that particular prefect is a nice enough prefect. After all, it wasn't what she wanted to do, right. Unless if she actually took pleasure in confiscating our stuff and demeriting us (which, yeah, I "highly doubt", because she's not HER).

Cursed and swore a lot. Was a tad vulgar. (that might be an understatement. Might.) But I'm sure that's not news anymore!

Anyway. It was quite an experience, the spot check. Not something I anticipate experiencing again in the future. Unless if the class we are having is deathly tedious. But no. It's probably not worth it.

I was actually very happy yesterday (since it's past 12 a.m now) despite being so exhausted. Couldn't sleep the past night as I drank three cups of tea at night. Crazy thing to do, I know. Also watched Silence of the Lambs (again). Maybe Dr. Lecter's scary, penetrating eyes were the reason I couldn't sleep. Or the screaming of those lambs. Hahaha.

Okay. No. It was the tea.

I tossed and turned for hours. 2 o'clock .4 o'clock. 6 o'clock. My sister threw the soft toy at me before she went to school, BEFORE SHE WENT TO SCHOOL, and I was awake. Geee. Some sort of tea that was.

Oh. Right. Heard some peculiar news yesterday. A bit unsettling, really. But maybe there was a mistake. Maybe.

Kisses! :)
