I can speak Japanese, no?

Yesterday was an interesting day.


If you excuse the anticlimax part.

My day started off with, currently, every Thursdays-to-come supposed commence, wearing our splendid 'Unit Beruniform' uniforms to school & lining up according to our units.



Say, I wonder which dimwit came up with this ingenious way of making us wear our revolting ugly uniforms?

Any mutual thoughts?

Or, maybe its just me?

When one joins Kadet Bomba 'cos she had to join it since Form One as there are many club
limitations and had to continue attending it because it is a club to ponteng, I think many people can understand that she doesn't want to walk around wearing a signpost saying

'I am wearing an idiotic tee, so let us all spectators start throwing our heads back and laugh. Ready? Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!! '

Half of it is inspired. Ahem.

Anyhoo, they finally got the point that not many people(read: seniors) will wear them, so it always comes back to the Magic Solution: Deduction of Merit Points. Not that they care about it at all.

As for me, they wanna deduct points? Go ahead, be my guest. I can't stop you from being so high-and-mighty & show your egoistical side on lording over all the students about their attire. Not that you don't already lord over us prefects. Guess its just adding to your already pompous and inflated ego.

Well, yet as a prefect, my tie wouldn't be up much longer if it continues this way, right? But, you can torture me or use whatever means to make me, however, I will not, repeat NOT wear the fugly uniform. No offence.

I can always wear something else. ;)

Okay, the interesting part. During Bong's chinese lesson, I was in a state of panic as I forgot to bring my exercise book. Mentally crossing myself, Jett, who was setting a little way behind, asked me:

"Hey Lizzie, do you know how to speak Japanese?"

If you conclude that speaking Japanese with a limited vocabulary, with 'Moe', 'Kuso' & 'Kurosu' being the highly more prominent words, yes then, I can speak Japanese - hardly. Anyway, he explained that TST wants 4 prefects to escort some Japanese people visiting the school, and he already asked Kin Yen & Zi Yi to come along.

Jap people visting? Who the heck wants to come to this school? Of course I was thinking middle/high school students as I said this. Anyway, we all went down in a jiffy and boy it was a friggin hot day! I was sweating like a pig when we finally reached the main gate and Datin Tan KS was standing there.

Setting my personal sweat issues aside, we discovered that Pn. Tan didn't tell us that she & her hubby stayed in Japan for 3 and a half years. After asking us at least 3 three times that are we certain that she has never mentioned it before & with us shaking profusely and telling her to please get on with the story & listening to her with rapt concentration(read: Pn. Tan is immensely famous for being one of the favouratable teachers & renowned for her anecdotes(credits to Senzo) during class.), she told us 3 incidents:

- When she was staying in her rented home, some old lady(can't really remember who) came and arranged their shoes so that they would be facing outward as when you leave, there would be no hassle to put them on. [J.culture]


- Then, the old lady went into their kitchen and started sorting out their garbage into three diferent categories : burnable, non-burnable & 'big' rubbish.[J.coulture] So Datin Tan was unavoidably embarassed at the lady's acts.


- Next, during the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan/Korea, at a match between Japan & France, apparently when the cleaners went to the Jap's locker room to clean up, they were totally uneeded for their services as the room was so clean! Vice versa, when they went to the French's locker room, it was the absolute oppposite: messed up, dirty.... blablablah.

After that, we saw U-Jo's brother, U-Quinn. At first glance, you would never think that they had any sort of blood relation, that is, until you've heard his voice. It's completely the same! I could just imagine him as Jo with my eyes closed! Its amazing how genes work! His sound, slang is like 100% copied from Jo! Then Zi & I started asking him to say things Jo would say like, 'Bloody Dragon!', 'GG.' & stuff. Kin Yen, Zi & I were practically laughing ourselves to death at everything he said cos' everything Quinn said sounded no different that Jo. Frightening really.
I think we have scarred him for life. Poor Quinn must be thinking all his bro's friends are weirdos.

Back to the Japanese Rombongan. To my utmost disbelief, they consisted of 6-7 people from some University of Technology something something who are coming to donate sewing macchines. I know, what the heck????



Yes, FYI people, there are only 3 younger people (1 gal & 2 guys) and they are all 20+++. The rest are too old for your tastes unless you are interested in sugar daddys and other fetishes.

Ohhhhhh. Why can't it be some high school with some possibly cute guys to oggle at?
:(

Now I really hate you, Jaslynn Looi. I so badly want to go for a Japan Exchange Program too!!! GRR.

Still, Senri & I share a profound dream of hopefully going to Japan together and meet all the Tenimyu stars! Shirota Yuu, Kato Kazuki, Saito Takumi, Aoyagi Ruito... (etc)!!!
Will it ever come true?

'I sure won't stop wishing, though.
