I have no energy to post for Ms A.C. Chua Lihui, so Ms Chua, thanks for being patient. Oh people who tag and wave at me on my cbox, WAVE BACK.
I am sick. I am sick of being sick. 3E5, hope you were all there to watch the movie today. I am giving you spelling on Friday. LOL.
Here's a nice song for you guys to enjoy. Pity there isn't a video to go with it.
1. He was one of the first faces I could recognise easily from my first day at Yuhua. So hunsum *coughhandsomecough*
2. He is so neh-neh, like Nicholas but Nic is worse.
3. He is a logical thinker, ie. he is able to argue with me when I ask him things like why isn't he reading stuff in the morning during self-study, why doesn't he bring a bag to school after exams, can you please cut your hair before Mr Su catches you, etc.
4. He is willing to take on new challenges - I asked him to help plan the Sept 1st class party with Sumathi and Chun Heng and I think he did a great job with them.
5. His surname is a chemical name! KOH = potassium hydroxide how cool is that
6. His sister is cute! Oh wait that's not really about him is it
7. He is intelligent and capable of setting goals for himself.. as for working toward the goals, maybe still needs some work la haha
8. He is so nice, he offers to help me when I look like I need it and tries to pay attention in class
9. When I first came he wasn't very interested in doing/bringing work but now he makes an effort (even though he still writes really short essays =.="')
10. He simply rocks and 3E5 would be so weird without him :)
Today I watched House Bunny with Nicholas, Melvyn, Lihui, Peiling, Joshua, Yan Wei and Minnie. LOL. The guys were very taken by the slapping-breast thing. And yes it was a PG show! Hahaha. Poor Minnie only found the cinema toward the end of the show. But she sat with me while I got a manicure. I am very vain. How sad.
Anyway I owe Boon Hock a Ten-Things post. But first I shall post a couple of videos.
This one is my favourite Japanese song, by an obscure band called Swinging Popsicle.
And this one is specially for Yew Liang! Haha it's a clip from one of my favourite TV shows, Blackadder. Rowan Atkinson rocks!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this post is dedicated to Nicholas Tei Jun Jie because I asked for a blog post dedicated to me and he demanded one first. SO HERE IS YOUR BLOG POST NIC. Ahahaha.
10 Things I Like About Nicholas
1. He talks a lot in class. (Sometimes too much but that can be forgiven sometimes.) And when he talks, at least he talks sense. Well, mostly.
2. He is one of the most driven, determined people I know.
3. He is the only person I know with the surname 'Tei' (as in spelled that way). Pronounced 'Tay", not "Tie" like how Mr Jansen pronounced it at assembly once. Ho ho.
4. He can whine like a girl! He goes "HMPH!" when I don't give him what he wants, eg. his letter, more marks, etc.
5. He is always very polite. Sometimes he even bows when he greets me. That is cool considering most other ppl (the ones I don't teach) pretend I don't exist.
6. He is skilled in the power of argument and debate. I do believe there is only one teacher besides Ms Lee whom he doesn't argue with (and it's not me, it's Ms Kasthuri).
7. He gave me his heart! Not. He got the library people to make a papier maché heart for me for Teacher's Day. Heh.
8. He can play so many instruments it's scary. Guitar? Drums? Piano? Recorder? Hahaha.
9. He really cares for his friends. True, I bet he can be annoying at times, but aren't we all? Different people have different ways of showing affection, and Nicholas being Nicholas, can overdo it sometimes. :)
10. The best thing I like about Nicholas? There is only one Nicholas Tei Jun Jie. And he rocks!
(Haha, ok, Praise-Nic-Time is over. Back to regular programming schedule! :D)
I am not supposed to be here. I still haven't finished marking. (Btw the title of my post is in reference to all the bad handwriting, horrible spelling, and basically atrocious essays I have been marking for the Sec 3E EL paper. Hurrah! I am blinded by the sin of Bad English.)
But since Nic decided to SPAM MY CBOX &^!%$#*@, I decided to make a short post replying to tags. (from long long ago)
WJ - Yes Pervy Boy rocks forever! Eugene - What is artic person? Person who lives in the Arctic? Of course you're not an artic person then. Roy - Hi! Thanks for tagging! Valencia - Stop counting la. Shafiqah - I think I changed the link. Erm haha. And YAY I am one of your loves too. Ahahaa. Lihui - Stop scaring the ppl who read my blog can? Shakila - Haha we'll see about the shirt.

You ah, creepy you know, always smiling at me like that. Pervy smile Lihui(2) - pervy sheep didn't look like me! Roy(2) - Sure I'll lend you the Teenage TB.

Nicholas(2) - NOW I'M BLOGGING NEH NEH hahahaha Juwina - Okay I will change it. Soon! hahaha
So yesterday Pervy Boy played at the ACRES roadshow to help raise awareness of the plight of animals around us. We had to wait really long in the sun though - and the band kept drinking to cool themselves down, so by the time we went on everyone was slightly drunk. Haha.
Cheers to the cheerleading team who came down! Linda, Amanda, Sheryl and Minnie who refused to be in the photo because she has some weird phobia of cameras. Strange girl.
Pervy Boy rocks! Thanks for all your (mental) support guys!
===
In other news, I am still marking EL Paper 1. And no, 3E5, I haven't reached you guys yet.
Finally there is a video from our side, of Pervy Boy at the Avril concert. There is another one which some person put up titled 'Pervy Boy Sucked!' and it was less than 30s of the band performing. And the person wrote in the video summary how terrible we were, blah blah etc etc. PLEASE DON'T GO SEE THE VIDEO, if only so that the person's video views don't increase any further. I mean, seriously? Pervy Boy sucked? And you put up a 30s-clip that, oh, DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING?
(Ok. Can feel myself getting angry. Shall not comment further.)
By the way, there has been some progress on the blogskin front. Juwina's done one, and Yew Liang and Ai Poh have both offered their expertise (yay!). And thanks JL and Lincoln, even if one doesn't know how to do and the other has no time to do it :D How about this - Yew Liang, you design for my blog, Ai Poh you design for the band blog instead? Cos the Pervy Boy blog is quite sad and boringly black. It would be trés cool if they had their own customised blogskin too.
Sigh. I have to mark now. Bye.
(P.S. You shouldn't be out and about tomorrow afternoon, but I just wanted to tell you Pervy Boy is playing at 4pm outside The Cathay (the one near Plaza Sing). You should be studying! You should be working hard! Don't think about coming down to support the band and see your favourite darlings playing all hot and sweaty in the sun!... Erm. Ok. Pervy Boy rocks? Haha!)
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this post is dedicated to Nicholas Tei Jun Jie because I asked for a blog post dedicated to me and he demanded one first. SO HERE IS YOUR BLOG POST NIC. Ahahaha.
