Whew!!!
Finally got alll the signatures, ended up with 5 signatures instead of just 4, will get to that in a min...
What a time to make students go hunting for signatures...at a time when the Science teachers are all not in school and other teachers are busy marking exam scripts :P:P:P
Paced around the secondary block waiting for the English teachers to finish judging the debaters...before I got kinda frustrated and decided to find other teachers. I went up the staircase to the staffroom...and bumped into Miss Poore!!! What luck!!! But she was busy talking to Wu Laoshi and so I stood by the side, waiting...Ms Cindy Ng seemed to be waiting too, but anyway I went up to Ms Poore right after she finished talking to Wu Laoshi and got her to sign. 2 down, 2 to go...minus Zhang Laoshi's and that was 1 left...
The English teachers were busy. I decided to find Ms Lim the PE teacher, hoping that for once she'd actually be nice enuf to sign with me.
No such luck. She said she didn't know exactly what i did as Chef LC in CCA and so she couldn't sign without knowing...said that if her track girls came up to her she would sign for them as she knew what they did...actually i do understand why, she only has PE essons with us 1 hour a wk, she doesn't really know us...
But anyway, I thanked her and walked back to the secondary block, careful to avoid the Science labs...was on the verge of tears actually, wondering if I should give up...kind of angry at whoever came up with the idea to make us go around collecting supporting signations for the nomination form at this time, of all times. Not only was it inconvenient for us, it was too for the teachers, who have to keep getting interrupted from their marking by students wanting their signature...
and some teachers are so hard to find...poor Ling Hui, when I left she was still looking for Miss Poore...if only we'd tagged along with each other maybe she'd have gotten hold of Miss Poore when I did...
anyway when i reached the classroom, thank good ness the judging had just ended!! hesitatingly, I stepped up to the classroom and was just about to knock when mr Wong saw me and asked,"yes?"
I think I was pretty rude, but right then I was so relieved and upset and exhausted after searching all over for teachers who could --and would--sign my form that I was stuttering again. I don't really remember if I greeted them...I asked "May I see Miss jeya and Mrs Gurung please? I need them to sign this form." and I held up the green sheet weakly, feeling like a moron, especially since there were other teachers in the room who saw every single moronic, idiotic move I made. They were all watching me, I could just feel it. And I handed the form over, just as Miss jeya asked, "So have you finally decided which teacher nominated you?" I told her yes, it was Mrs tan after all, and she nooded...by then I just need one signature, having to save spacefor Zhang laoshi to sign as our form teacher.
I told them, but i don't know if Mrs Gurung and Miss jeya heard me. If I asked just one of them to sign, the other might few hurt, both of them taught me for 2 yrs and r still teaching me now...anyway, both of them signed! and so Zhang Laoshi had no space. And I needed the form teacher's signature!!!
Just before, I was in dire need of signatures. Now, barely 2 minutes later, I had too many!!!
Well, I went to find Zhang laoshi anyway, and ran into her and Linghui outside the staff room. Linghui still didn't have any signatures...all because she couldn't find Miss Poore who nominated her...by then it was 12pm and I was really running late... But I was really relieved as well, but still smarting after behaving so idiotically in front of so many teachers!!!
It would be an hour before I reached home, needed to call my Mum but I didn't bring my handphone, so popped into the stationery shop near the buststop and spent $5 on a phonecard!!! $5!! it's a lot to me, cuz every single cent is precious--it all counts toward my magazine budget!!
But mum didn't turn on her handphone :( Grrrrr!!! Spent $5 for nothing!!! I tried to call her 6 times!!!
Rushed home, changed, put on some makeup and rushed to P.S, all while my stomach was hurting with a serious case of gastric pains. I did take a chocalate bar before i left home, but the HCl in my tummy proved to be too strong for that...:P
Mum finally called when i was on the MRT...
Anyway, i saw daphne(Aw) at PS, she was with some friends, but guess what? She didn't see me at all!!! A blessing or not, I don't know...
But I did get a pair of cheap sunglasses at This Fashion! Though cheap sunglasses can hurt ur eyes, they looked cool...
and so i spent $9 today....
need some serious belt tightening...
