Today is Speech Day, but I bet you already knew that. Anyway, all I did in the morning was let Megan, Kimberly, Leanne and Renee(YES! FINALLY!) sign my yearbook. And then I found out I was supposed to assemble downstairs, whoops. Silly me. I'm a prizewinner again, blah blah. That's just because my first half of the year's results were so rotten that I got Best Progress. O.o And so Yan Tong, Sabrina, Tan Rong, Sristi, Crystal and Heng Hwee signed. Oh, and Wenxin FINALLY finished signing my yearbook, thus relieving me of the huge stress of asking her. YAY. I had to go get my prize a while later, or to be truthful a LONG time because of the terrible wait. It was like reliving Grad Day Ceremony or something, sigh. So after waiting and waiting and waiting and... you get it, It was finally my turn. Then my cute little sis Percia arrived with my parents and they started taking a bazillion photos of me. Ouch, flash. Glare glare. Hehe.

So when it was my turn to get the prize, Mrs. Chin was there, flashing her 100-watt smile. I freaked, of course. Thank goodness I had enough breath left in me to return a GL smile. Yay. So going on stage was fine, and that Gretchen Liu person, the Caucasian author said 'congratulations' and I said 'thank you'. How cliche, I know. However, I think I tripped on the way down, by accident of course. Fortunately, I managed to hurry off in time to wait for Tan Rong because she, uh, told me to. So obliging, right? Haha. After that prize-receiving of a 12-dollar Borders voucher, I had to dash off for Choir practice at once. I shall not go into detail, but apart from a lot of hugging the P5 juniors and Mr. Goh's interestingly weird rendition of 'Prima Donna'(Carlotta, POTO!), it was time to go on stage. A lot of mixed nervousness and excitement equates to a not very good performance, and that was what we gave. Sigh, a far cry from SYF standards.

After the whole thing was over, we made our way to the canteen to eat hot dogs before proceeding reception where I met my mum again, gorging on a lot of food, glorious food. Apparently the thing was only for prizewinners, but we loved bending the rules so we dug in. Nice spread, haha. And so we saw the teachers chatting animatedly at one corner and went to ambush them. More like Zhang Lao Shi ambushed me, actually. And said some things that will haunt my memory forever. In other words, extreme mushiness. So don't ask. We also saw Lin Lao Shi there, and I got to hear the wonderful news that the new school she's teaching at is Beacon Primary, a stone's throw away from my home. Interesting, whee! So we finally got her to sign yearbooks, and I also got Ms. Ker's signature. I know I don't know her but who cares? I was then greeted by a poke on the shoulder and discovered that it was Miss Tang! Yay. Then Aaheli and I got all emotional again and started hugging everyone, including that senior, Alethea. And I hugged Miss Tang around three times, for some reason. And Zhang Lao Shi started saying I must be fair to everyone, so I had to hug her thrice too. Scandalous. Heehee.

Anyway, after that followed a raid of the staffroom again, where another chorus of hugs was carried out. Okay, actually only Miss Chan(choir teacher) and Mrs Lee, but whoever wants to hug Mr Tan and dares to hug Mdm Loe, anyway? So I finally mustered up enough courage to go ask Mdm loe for a signature, and for once she didn't mind me jumping up and down. Yay, miracles happen after all. We also stole the other half of Miss Lui's Coke. So Mrs Lee signed and wrote something a bit unflattering but still nice after all, and we had a long chat about 'girl girls'. Haha, typical of her. And then the teachers said they had to go to a meeting so we left them alone at last, making our way to the library because Mrs Chin had said she needed help with the books for the RGPS Carnival.

What followed the rest of that day was basically lugging a lot and a lot of heavy books to Class 1E for five hours, and the teachers joined in halfway. They said we were so kind to help, but in my opinion it's because I was bored. I'm always bored, I know. This is what restlessness and PSLE stress does: I now always feel I have something to accomplish. So productivity is better than plain nothing... Anyway, after that I went home with Ka Ying on the public bus. And discussed the prospects of the countdown/Christmas party. YOU PEOPLE MUST COME, OKAY!

Long day, my legs hurt but at least I know I've done something good.

P.S: Oh, the books have to be moved to 1A because they managed to get a better room. Aw crap. I can't leave all the work to them so I guess I'm going to school at seven tomorrow. Wish me good luck. Rather, us.
