That was fun. Can we do it again?

My school had our Sport's Day today. Anybody who had been paying attention to me ranting in my previous entries will know that I had to perform Taerobics. Its supposed to be a combination of Taekwondo and aerobics but it looks more like Taekwondo+Taichi. So, it should be Taikchi, right?

Anyway, everybody who was taking part in the Sport's Day(etc: march past, taerobics or the band) had to come early in the morning to do rehearsals. This was a drag because I had to come 6 hours earlier just to practice something that was about 3 minutes long. You could say that all we taekwondo girls did was either playing with the breakable planks or lazing around and stuffing our mouths full with food.

Oh yeah, just now girl A wanted to try and break the breakable plank so she asked girl B to hold it for her. Girl B agreed. Girl A tried kicking the planks slowly just to get her bearing as to where the middle of the board was while girl B was waiting patiently. Then, girl A did a quick side kick but she missed the boarad but hit girl B's hand right smack on the index finger. It must have been quite a powerful kick because the finger quickly swelled and I think a vein popped because I saw this blue coloured vein-looking thing appearing on her finger. It was a good thing that we were in the tunnel under the grand stand where the emergency room was situated. We were really worried but after a while, girl B was seen again practicing but her finger was bandaged. I think the PBSM girl had massaged the finger to soothe the swelling. Good thing nothing worst happened.

By the time the actual Sport's Day started, I was already tired and irritated because it was hot and I felt that I just wasted my morning sleep. But, doing the performance was fun. I wish we could do it again. Everybody cheered when we bowed in the beginning. I only did 1 mistake which was at the end when we were supposed to do a last bow. I kinda spaced out and was looking around to make sure that everybody else was bowing too.

Before the performance ended, 4 black belt seniors were supposed to do the 'destruction' where they are supposed to break real wood boards. This part is always worrying because the last senior always cannot break break her wood but this time she did it but another senior didn't manage to break hers. This was shocking because she usually does hers wonderfully. She tried breaking it a number of times of I guess she couldn't break it because she didn't kick it quite in the middle. When the performance had finished, we could see her crying in the tunnel. I guess it must be horrible, especially when its your last year in school.

Let's fast forward now, my house won quite a number of races and in the end we won the overall sports for the 4th or 5th time in a row. Cheerleaders was okay, managed to bug my friend while she was doing it. Then, I rushed to the nearest toilet becasue I drank about 2 or 3 litres of water. I was positively bloated. Then went back home.

Another thing, Flyindance, you can find out my second name from the girl you asked because she asked me today. Sorry, but I can't remember her name. I thought I mentioned my name to you before?

Okay, need to replenish my lost sleep. Ja.

Song: The Neverending Story Theme

"This is something that's worth going on the net to blog about," says Taiyou.

My class has always been commented by teachers as a unactive class because of our slower than worm interaction with the teachers in class. But hey, if the teacher's not interesting, who can blame us? Now, they know that 3W is a class that can be active AND synchronized when the time calls for it. Like this one...

Today during physical ed. we were listening to the teacher who was teaching about drugs. I(like always) was burning a hole into the ceiling while chatting to Azi when something shocking happened. I was staring at the fan on the ceiling in the front of the class when suddenly the one of the wire from the fan came off and then the whole fan came crashing down. You could hear us scream with perfect unison.

Even though the fan was on maximum speed, thank god when it landed it didn't whirl to the back where it could have injured more people. It landed straight down where one girl wasn't so lucky. One of the blades hit a girl on her left side of her upper head. Another girl who was sitting across of the first girl, narrowly missed getting swiped by 2 blades and our teacher missed a blade by a mere few inches from her face.

The first thing I did when everybody has stopped screaming was climb over my table to switch off the lights and the fans. After that, me and Sheila was shouting to the rest of the class to get out because we feared that other fans might fall down. The girl whom the fan landed on was so unusually calm to the point that I think she was in shock. She took off her glasses and started murmuring or whimpering and then she was whipped off by her friend and our teacher to the office.

The rest of us stood outside of the class hugging each other while trying to avoid looking at the blood drops on the floor. Some of us was already crying while the others were obviously trying not to cry. Even Kaiten was crying in the end. While we were consoling each other, our 'beloved' class teacher didn't even come over to check on us. I mean, even other teachers who didn't teach us came over to check whether we were okay!

Because our class is unusable because of safety reasons, now we have to use the AVA Room. This is very good because the AVA Room has aid-cond!!! This is one good thing that came out of this horrible accident. But...we can't study properly because the AVA Room is not suited for doing work. It's used for using the OHP and other letchure stuff. Everybody who didn't eat during recess because of shock got a free drink paid by the head mistress.

I guess the trip's officially cancelled now eh, Hemlocke? But, its for our safety too. We might infect each other. My taekwondo teacher went to Korea/Taiwan last weeks and when he cmae back, he saw us once and the the next thing we knew he is in quarantine because of SARS. I think us taekwondo girls are now being monitored by the teachers because we might have been infected by our teacher. This is so frustating!!! I had even sat about 1.5 metres from the guy and now he's in quarantine?!! But... its been more than a week and I feel fine other than my everlasting cold and fatigue from doing nothing. I guess I'm still okay.

Okay, too tired to write anymore. Later.
