I can't really remember what's been going on these few days.

Monday was boring. Left school at 12.30 to go for this Lit seminar at HCI by Dr Kirpal Singh. The Sec4s were expected to shepherd the Sec3s there O.o Anabelle claimed that she'd never been to Hwach before except during APMOPS. (Yeah, right.) The food there is awesomeeeee. Xinyuan, Vic and I all ordered a baked potato each for $1.50, and it seriously owns everything in our school canteen. Xinyuan was talking about how this Hwach guy told her that the food at the poolside café was the lousiest in the whole school, but we thought it was good. RGS girls lead such sad lives.

I sort of (ungratefully, because there were only 10 spaces and Vic and I sort of wrestled 2 of them away from our juniors so we could go) zoned out during the lecture itself, because it wasn't anything we didn't already know - felt more like a confirmation of what we've always been thinking more than anything else.

Q&A session was interesting. Xinyuan's such a realist -.- no wonder she hates Korean dramas. I suppose it's a good point; is Lit a form of escapism or a way to deal with reality? I suppose it depends on the subject matter, really.

The requisite Amusing Moment was provided by a girl from one of the other invited schools. She paused importantly before speaking, and then said in what she evidently thought was an intelligent tone: "Firstly, can I assume that literature is made up of words?"

The poor guy looked rather stunned. Can't blame him, really. It's got to be one of the dumbest questions ever posed to him in an academic seminar. Intelligent Girl then went on to ask whether Twitter feeds, Facebook statuses and blogs could be considered as literature.

Vic (later, after the seminar): "So if I post 500 tweets about my making out with my boyfriend, can that be considered as literature?"
Xinyuan: "That's not literature, it's porn!!"
Vic: "Show, don't tell. (:"

Then Vic, Xinyuan, Joshng, Kimberley (RALit/Rosyth junior, and my neighbour + mortal) and I took 156 back together. On the way Xinyuan stole my phone and accused me of trying to touch her when I tried to get it back -.-

And then at the Rosyth bus stop, Ms Khoo got on! Vic, Kimberley and I started waving madly at her, and even Joshng had an expression on his face. He looked vaguely surprised. Ms Khoo's no longer teaching GEP D: But she's still leading the Taman Negara expedition, except that they combined it with caving lol. And they don't crawl through mud anymore.

Today: Chem was horrible. My ionic equation-writing skills suck. RS - amusing; poor Jinghui and Maggie looked rather sad by the end of the session though D:

AVPA GM was over in 45 minutes. Mr Lim kept blowing at all the dust particles caught in the beam of light from the projector LOL. Then he said something like "I have a baby at home" and I heard it as "I just had a baby". Whoops. Profi trainings, tests etc coming up, sigh. MrLee is evil. And there's an Exco meeting next Tuesday (YanHan kept trying to make it today hahaha).
