i had to take my math exam after my science exam today

ms wong led me to the com lab where i was to take the exam
2E1 was doing their climate survey there

ms ang was there with the tall lanky teacher who doesn turn out to be so bad after all.
there was another teacher there.
don't know her name but i know she teaches ner.

ms wong told the guy, mr D i think, that i was from 2c2.
"oh, the whole class didnt submit their IT project"
was the response

ms ang scoffed and i caught her eye, smiling.
she immediately frowned and turned to the class asking if they were done with the survey because i had to do the math exam.

"she can do it at 12 when they're done,"
mr D offered ms wong politely.

"it's an exam paper stating she has to finish at 12.30"
came ms wong's reply.
tutting,
ms wong turned to the other teacher, lets call her ms doll cos i really dont know her name,
ms wong asked why the girls had left the climate survey to the last minute.

"E class what"
she said with such disdain that i was rather taken aback,
she turned to the other teachers and ms ang stiffled her laughter.

i glanced at her and realized with horror that she meant what she said.

i heard this teacher, ms doll, is really nice.
i havnt been taught by her so i have no comment.
but what she said was uncalled for.

teachers blog-hop.
everyone knows that.
and everyone's afraid of teachers reading their blogs now in case of things like defamation,stuff like that.
if this is read by any teachers,
i honestly don't think it's defamation.
those were the teacher's exact words.

i am proud of my school and though weird to many,
yes,
i do say my school is one of the best.
but then,
what do i say about nice teachers who turn out to be not so nice to girls who aren't in express?

moving on,
i didn't study for math but i did my best.
at the end i thanked mr D for invigilating me.
"no problem, i didnt do anything"he answered
"yeaa, you just sit there and slack right?haha"
"glad you realize that too" was his reply.

he's not so bad.
i just don't like IT that's all.

only yours baby

i'm charis vera Ng,
i'm NOT a Singaporean, i was born in UK
but i spent most of my four years in scotland
i love alastair(:
i'm doing my best to live for God though i often fail miserably

ok,try this:
you're this girl who's flown over to this country when you're no more than four years of age
you resent your dad for it,
and it doesn't help when things between your parents don't work out either.

so you miss your home terribly,
you miss going strawberry-picking,
you miss eating boiled eggs out of egg-cups
and you miss warm and cuddly Uncle John and Aunty Esther.

instead,
you find yourself forced to change
and adapt in a horribly hot place
where in primary school,
you meet cold,heartless little kids who ignore you and don't let you play "family"
just cos your accent is different.
early on,
you get weird looks and you find yourself going for recess breaks alone.
your classmates complain to the class teacher when you call them stupid
because they don't understand what to you is simple english.
but they leave you alone when you call them an imbecile
because they don't know what it means.
your primary 1 & 2 class teacher takes joy in complaining to your mummy
because she detests you.
she detests you for constantly correcting her english grammer and pronunciation in front of the class
you soon realize that you can actually gain and keep friends upon them finding out your mother's an actress
but by that time you've more or less forced yourself to lose your accent which makes communication a lot easier anyway.

that was the little girl charis,
now,
on top of that,
i can be a total biotch sometimes, towards people.
and don't tell me you aren't sometimes please.
but i try my very best not to bitch about people.
im a dangerous shopper(=
i never know what i want or need til i see it.

i don't like television.
now that's a first innit?HAH.
bet you never knew someone who didn't like tv
well i don't
and i'm not trying to be different and difficult
it's noisy and boring
i like music:)
i find eating a chore but i love snacking
figure that out
i find certain kinds of pain addictive,
no, i promise i'm still sane.

which is actually pretty remarkable for someone living here,
in this time and place
where you normally get loads of homework,
tests with questions that look like they're in foreign language,
and where everything's a competition to be the best,
the prettiest,
the most popular,
the most hated,
the thinnest,
the fattest, the coolest
the list goes on.
one shouldn't try to be something you're not,
but everyone knows that's easier said than done.
like duurh.
