my life is totally crap, believe me. i woke up this morning and i found i couldnt open my left eye properly. everytime i tried to open it, it would hurt like hell and shut by itself.anyway i looked in the mirror and my eye was all red. my mother took a look at it and kicked up a fuss about it and said i couldn't go to school. fine, i admit i was a bit happy about it all 'cos zenda told me yesterday that people who ponned PUMP would get detention today.
well at around nine plus i walked to the clinic with my maid. mind you, the clinic may be a walkable distance away, but i had to walk under the hot sun and past many many people. and please remember, i couldn't open my left eye. and if i forced it open, it kept tearing and wouldn't open to the same size as my right eye and i am sure i would look retarded. so i just kept my face turned towards the ground. but still some old women looked at me strangely. but whatever. the fact that i probably would never see them again helped a lot. anyway the doctor shone a
flashlight into my left eye. that hurt, i tell you. she prescribed three different pills to me and eyedrops. the eyedrops do work. my eye felt better after a drop. but on the crap and poo side, she said i couldn't wear contact lenses for
one month. uh hello - it's the holidays soon. i am NOT going to be wearing my crookedy glasses when there are photos to be taken.
oh yeah, i got chosen for work experience...but i turned it down. 'cos i am going to return to Singapore from Europe on the 18th, and the work experience at Orchard Hotel is going to start from 19th. what am i gonna do there - jet lag away for five days? and besides, theodora, biran and simin weren't chosen. no, it is I. I and Yati. and i heard we were going to clean toilets. and why do they always choose me? they pick me for lucky draw things, the geog fieldtrip to Perth(which i turned down...) and now work experience. i must have a pick-me whatsit thing...
oh and they picked me for the dumb PUMP programme. do you know what i think? i think it is a stupid programme. and bloody useless. we go there, do our homework or study for three hours. we can't talk, we only have a 15 min break and it is very uncomfortable 'cos everyone is bending over their tables and you're afraid that if you move position just the slightest, you will accidentally drag your chair and topple the table and make such a noise that everyone, including the teacher, will look up and stare at you. and also, if we encounter some problem in our work, it's not like we can ask our pals for help. basically, PUMP just makes sure we do our homework. and without it, i do have the initiative to do my homework. and also i can spend six hours a week on worthier things such as tuition where somebody actually helps me and teaches me.
so that is the reason i don't go for PUMP. and Felicia smsed me just now and we both think i am going to get detention. she is sure she is going to get detention too even though she has attended a couple more times than me. and the glitch is, detention is today. she will have to have detention by herself. pity. and then tmr, i am sure i will have detention. ALONE. all by myself. bummer.
and i don't think i can skip school tmr. the doctor only gave me one day MC. and i need to collect my report book. unless i get someone to help me collect. and also i can't really think of any excuse to ward off detention. the teacher is mean.
i thought the world of you
