d last period of re damn sian.. i told dem 2 come library discuss on d skrewd up report n all dat.. oni vishwa came, to do his tamil homework.. i ask wheres greg, he said greg doing chinese homework.. den greg called me say he editing d pics wif microsoft paint.. bloody liar.. d doc was sum adobe format which cudn be OPENED, let alone EDIT.. he say later he send me d sample.. n dat was like on wed.. now wad day leadi sia? still haven rcieve a single shit.. niwaes, i got fed p n checked my mail.. got mail frm a certain sumbody.. hahahx... damn frustrating ar.. i tried replying 5 times, but d first 4 times my fren keeps closing d window.. argh! hahax.. nvm la.. quite funny lar when i look back at it..

afta dat went lt n check out d hullett drama guyz.. dey putting in lotz of effort.. *salutes*.. u go guyz!

thurs..

fri..
math lesson was damn scary.. my math tchr was in a freeking bad mood.. come in class leadi scold2.. muz b dat time of d month :P

den afta skool lepas sembayang jumaat covered sum inter-skool(primary level) computer science challlenge.. take photos la(photog club).. frm 2 till 6.. din go guitar.. damn sad.. but it was quite urgent la dat event.. urgent 4 me.. coz each member nids 2 cover 5 events per year, which i havent these past few years.. i oni got 2 events prior 2 diz.. n events are running out lar.. so er, yar.. get d scenario? no? nvm..

'Lenny the Robot', 'Below 45', 'Moo, This & That.. ' respectively.. lenny d robot is not sum stupid show as sum mite think.. its basically abt d arts vs science conflict.. n of coz a bit of anti-establishment and sum hints 2 d government as well lar.. copied friday(hullett winning production laz year) in dat aspect.. below 45 is a damn sad story abt diz guy n his bro who is of below 45 iq level.. d acting was damn gd.. mite win awards.. den came hullett.. its like friday la.. of coz, its co-written by azizul n walter wad.. but lacks a plot.. n sad to say a bit shallow lar d message, touch on too many things at a time.. a bit like friday, but sumhow it lacks a certain x factor dat friday had (maybe ensemble work? sori guyz..).. but it was rather good overall.. dey all relli put in effort.. all houses did.. but especially hullett.. laz minute changes and all.. *salutes again*.. u go guyz! go walter!

WDF!! what kind of teacher IN CHARGE was she? o ya.. when i was hanging ard there.. ard 2 plus or early 3 plus, i heard her asking one of my batchmates 2 jage d booth properly, she wans 2 go home.. WDF!! d open house ends at 4.. other ccas all like cleanup n all dat till like 430 or 500.. n other teachers dun leave halfway.. but diz one? wdf ar.. if other people can sacrifice their commitments or welfare for sum measly INSTRUMENTS dat she have ever hardly SEEN b4, let alone touch, y cant she like sacrifice like anther hour of her blody time?? itz not even sacrifice, its duty, its responsibility.. n ironically junnow in class she made us do a poster n brochure about responsibility.. wdf??
