First thing we had in class was an unwanted workshop. Social graces and etiquette workshop... It was boring. But then, the presenter was quite sick. She touched people at wrong places. Then, got this part - she showed the boys how to cross their legs when sitting on a chair and then she was wearing a skirt somemore. But I DIDN'T see anything. Then, got this workshop about being polite, etc... How to shake people's hands and other rubbish. It was boring again. But the presenter was a bit more interesting. Both workshops were from the same company but different content. One was more of content and the other was more practical.
Anyway, after a break, we had a public speaking workshop. First, the person chose someone to come up and choose a random number. The number determined the topic you had to speak about. When you're done, you have to choose a friend to go up. Eunice sabo me. Oh yeah, it was supposed to be Jerome but apparently, Hiu Fung, Jerome and I changed our names. So I had to go. My topic was something about Singlish. I forgot what it exactly was. Anyway, I had quite a few points to speak about but the whole class kept laughing at almost every sentence I said. I couldn't control my laughter. A while later, Shao Wei had to go up. He was the worst.
1. He requests for time to think - 2 mins
2. He speaks half a sentence - 3 seconds
3. He thinks for a while - 30 seconds
4. He completes his sentence - 1 second
5. He thinks for a while - 4 mins
6. He tells the person that he would like to change his topic.
Observe how much of our precious time was wasted because of him. Also note the ratio of time taken to think : time taken to speak. He got a new topic anyway. It was about teenagers and serious relationships. He spoke about 2 sentences and ended off by saying: "Therefore, I think that teenagers should not be involved in too many relationships." So they can get into a few relationships? This was the funniest thing he said. Anyway, later, the person asked everyone to speak publicly about himself/herself cos some of the topics in the person's list were too confusing for the pupil. I was probably the one who spoke for the longest period. But again, I was laughing a lot. I was basically talking crap. For instance, I talked about the canteen being a nice place.
Okay! I'm done with school. Eh wait... There was this talk by the police after the public-speaking. Basically, they covered everything we already know. Alright... After school, I went to Vivo with Jerome and Andy. We watched Night at the Museum 2. Great movie! Quite funny but not that much... There was a really funny part where this guy tells two monkeys to slap the common enemy(the bad guy) instead of each other and then, the monkeys slapped him. After the movie, Andy needed to return home. Jerome and I went to Subway... and we ate heartily like there was no tomorrow.
