Tuesday was a particularly interesting day. The day started with History, where the whole class was a bit rowdy and Mr. Thiru decided to give us worksheets to do instead of starting on a new chapter. Just for extra information, Mr. Thiru is famous for teaching the chapters at incredibly fast rates! The worksheets were on Source-Based questions and we were all reluctant to do them as we were lazy. When we finally started work, we had a difficult time as most of us forgot the techniques on how to do Source-Based questions. To solve this, we discussed the questions and eventually was able to complete it. English was full of funny moments. One time was when the Chinese teacher came in and said something in Mandarin and after that, Mr. Hamilton claimed he could have said it better, even though he did not know Chinese at all. The whole class then doubled over in laughter. We later had to read a segment of the autobiography of Nelson Mandela and Mr. Hamilton, trying to be amusing, adopted an unusual African accent to read it out and sent us into laughter.
Recess came and went and it was soon Chinese lesson. We got into groups and discusssed for our TFU assignment. Since we finished early, we were allowed to do whatever we wanted for the rest of the period. The class was abuzz with activity as we all chatted amongst one another.
We were all in anticipation when our Literature teacher came in as we were excited to know the marks for the essay that we did the previous week. To our dismay, we did not get it back. The lesson proper was basically about understanding Shakespeare. Lai Hsin then gave a very comical recital of Shakespeare's play Macbeth and we all laughed in unison.
For Maths, nothing much happened except that Ms. Lim commented that our class was quite intelligent. This put us all in a good mood. What a wonderful way to end school! At home, I rejoiced that there was no homework. Due to the increased amount of free time, I had wanted to revise what the teachers had taught that day but I did not have enough willpower. I then made a resolution to be more disciplined and to work harder. That problem was eventually solved in the following days.
My time alone doing something something I enjoyed was after school when I read and finished a book titled "The Missing Chopstick". It was a book that I enjoyed throughly as it was full of suspense and mystery. My time with my family was after dinner when we watched a Hong Kong drama called "The "Revolving Doors of Vengeance"which is a drama about a hotel and everybody's fight to own it. Many say that watching shows together is not a good way of bonding, but I disagree. This was a time whwere all of us could sit down and all do something we enjoyed.
