Dizzy dizzy

Felt lethargic and dizzy today. Could not concentrate. Got "Tau Pok", I have no idea how to spell it, by my friends. Still okay then.... Then after that, felt like blood packed in my head and got really dizzy. Tau pok basically means you get pinned down by loads of people stacked on top of you... Meant for fun and stuff. This is the first time there were after effects from it for me...

Racial Harmony Day today. Recess was earlier so that we could go for ethnic food tasting later. Done by sec 3 classes (my class did it too but I was not involved). Already felt a little sick then. Then there was CCA which I had to miss loads of things because of dizziness and headache. Check out my CCA blog for more descriptions...

Ahh! Stress and tests and homework!

I guess the title says it all. I gotta miss my tuitions to stay back for all the tests and miss my CCA (which I love!) to go to the nursing home on Wednesday. Noo!

Schedule this week:
- Tuesday > English Comprehension test (miss tuition)
- Wednesday > Nursing home (miss CCA)
- Thursday > A-Math test
- Friday > Chemistry test (at least I like Chem...)

And some of you are like: What so bad about missing tuition. It's that I miss 2 of them! Physics and English! So again: The more the merrier! No! I gotta take make up classes! No problem for Physics but English is hard to slot into my already busy schedule. Damn @#%$. Should actually take the test today then all will be solved. But because there is Geog/SS remedial today, all the rest of my classmates want lunch first. I hoped it could be done and got over with today.

This week is like super busy week. There will also be a Geog test somewhere on Tuesday on Thursday. At least I prefer Geog than History. Then, there will be some ICT thing. I'm one of the 10 ICT buddies. Nothing much there...

Anyways, gotta go to sleep now. So long people! Till the next post!

TRC HELL!!!

3 strikes and you're out! Holy crap!

Of course you have no idea what I'm talking about, unless you're from my school. New principal, new stuff, new means of torture. 3 wrong doings, any wrong doings, and that if the teacher decides to count it as 1 strike, I would be pretty much screwed.

3 wrong doings of any type will get you into TRC. It is kinda like some prison torture chamber. If you get sent for TRC, you're doomed. Suspended with detention. If you get into it you will get to know the discipline teachers real well. From 7.45am to 5 pm, you will sit in a death/torture chamber, aka the Alumni room. You will have to fill in loads of relection worksheets. If the teacher is unhappy with any of the answers, REDO! Minimum of 3 days. After the 3 days, you will have to beg ALL your teachers to let you return to class. If they decide not to let you, you gotta continue with the suspension and detention routine till they allow. WTF?! And that is not all! After being let back in, you got to return to the death/torture chamber for 3 more days after school! Up till 5pm! If you miss any of the steps return to step 1. Oh, and did I forget, you have to complete ALL the homework, probably including the lessons you miss too, before you can even bother showing you face to the teachers.

If any steps are missed, parents will be called in. That is how evil school is. I bet the principal came up with this one too.

As if that is not enough! This principal would be what you call εŠι€”θ€ŒεΊŸ. Meaning give up half way. Best example, the biometric security system for classroom doors. System is installed and switche on. Out biometric info has been gathered. And yet we still have to use the old lock for the door. WTF! It is like the biometric thing is for show that we are one of the "future schools". Waste of money and time I would say.

Another one is the biometric attendence and temperature system. 6 or 7 big black boxes were installed in the staff room and canteen area. Now, I have to reach school earlier to get my attendence marked by thumb print at those boxes. Then, there would be the temperature check. And yet, we still gotta report to the parade ground and the teachers still got to mark our attendence. Furthermore, we still gotta bring our thermometers to check. Waste of time and money again!

What on earth is this principal thinking?! I'm actually really curious what he is planning to do?! He is like setting up things that are not fulfilling their purposes. Super pissed. Guess this is called student's un-needed stress.
