After 365 days, I find myself once again back in the comforts of the Resource Room, hogging the Internet. Joy.
Except it wasn't really about me this time. =D
Still, it didn't mean that there was nothing for me to learn.
Oh, I've learnt plenty in fact.
Like... like Emmeline uses facial masks every day and has at least 5 steps to her daily face washing routine (which takes place twice a day).
And like Alicia can't whistle. Or pops her mouth. And it annoys her to the core when people start popping around her. (note to self: pop more) :P
And Stephanie makes a great Elvis impersonator!
The preparation time had to be divided because of the Robotics competition (which they did very well in and I am therefore, happy and proud. :D) so in between those times, we had plenty of time to do silly things.
Like making Eleena draw Spongebob and Plankton (her Plankton's a bit overweight...)
And making Emmeline whistle "We Will Rock You" (which was silly because nobody whistles a rock tune.... but she pulled it off! -.-")
And I'm pretty sure we did far sillier things than those but I'm old so I can't remember much anymore. My apologies though, for the facial expression Abigail and I made while you guys were presenting. Most of time it wasn't about you, it was just us laughing at random things like the "Knowledge is Power!" slogan standing proudly behind you. That was funny! We couldn't help ourselves. Sorry for that. :) We passed notes to each other and in one of those messages was "I think we should stop making facial expression and passing notes."
But I believe we all had fun. Right? Amen?
Meet Emmeline the Demoness.
She's the bimbo this year
She said the photo was ugly. I had to battle my phone out of her grasp to prevent her from deleting it. She promised that she'd take a nicer photo but I didn't believe her.
Next thing I knew was her cam-whoring with Alicia's camera during quarantine.
But I never got that picture. So it's forgivable that I didn't delete this. It's the only one I have! Heh.
She can whistle Supercalifragilisticespialidocious! Envy. Her favourite Disney movie is Mulan. And she learnt to whistle because she watched Robin Hood when she was young. Or was it Red Riding Hood? There was something -hood, I remember.
Told you I learnt plenty! *grins*
Then meet Alicia the Feminist.
The lighting's horrible but I couldn't snap another picture because she scolded me for distracting her. And she was in the middle of her presentation.
So it's completely forgivable that I post this not-so-nice picture with her eyes half-closed which made her look drowsy photo because once again, it's the only one I have. :D
She's soppy. (read this, Miss Eng?)
She won't let me see her drawings. And her favourite Disney movie's Beauty and the Beast but she watched Mulan a gamillion times in 2 months because her cousin's obsessed with it . And she has problems with "touching" (soppy!). And lame. She lame that when I taught her the Fleming's Left Hand Rule Yo-sign, she changed it to "YO-O-HI".... (you know... like.. POI?)
Get what I mean when I say I learnt plenty?
And.... I forgot to snap Stephanie's picture! That's not really forgivable because the thought of snapping pictures only came to me after her presentation. =( Sorry for that.
There was a time we got so lost, we sat down and preached about "love" to each other. That was fun. :D And she likes the big boss chair. No wait, she loves the big boss chair.
And then here are the group pictures we took on our last day there.
This is one of all the teachers, debaters and younger helpers. I'm not in it but they all look so happy so... I post la... haha.
Left to right: Gabrielle, Guinevere, Mdm. Chan, Alicia, Emmeline, Rebecca Chin, Abigail Asrina, Stephanie Nina, Pn. Zalina, Eleena, Ena and Rebecca Su (squating because she's too tall)
Anyway, I forgot to mention what we do during quarantine. We sing, we dance, we talk and we discuss movies and books. Emmeline whistles and dances ballet. Alicia sings musicals and dances the Doulos dance. Stephania and I watch with amusement while Eleena draws. Oh, I forgot. Emmeline blots her face too. And then, we show off our different abilities. And we take pictures. And then after all that, we start to pace about as the panic starts to set in. =)
I realise we talk about our childhood a lot because we talk about Disney movies and Roald Dahl's children book. I like George's Marvellous Medicine! But that's besides the point....
This has me but it doesn't have Elaine.
And... they don't smile as wide anymore. =.="
And when we returned in the night after the first day, I got the shock of my life when Alicia asked me to take over her for the third topic. And naturally, as what a normal mature person would normally do..... I begged her to take it back. So there we were, spending half the time debating (if you can even call it that) on who should do it. Everybody else just had fun watching us.]
We settled in the end that should it be government, she shall do it and if it's opposition, I shall do it.
For that, she promised to wish me Happy Birthday next year.
And here's one with Elaine in it and not me.
And... their wide smiles are back. =.="
Eleena and I switched handphones while watching the Maong vs. Matang debate in the afternoon so when we send sms-es, it got a bit confusing. Especially when we sms Christine.
Me: (on Eleena's phone) *sth lame i forgot*
Christine: You've been hanging out with Lipyi too much! You got influenced!
Eleena: (on my phone) Mimi you bloody idiot, how dare you think I'll get influenced by another bloody idiot like lipyi so easily!
Eleena's phone was all haywired so I couldn't really reply anything.... until I dropped her phone and all returned to normal. ;p
Me: You should thank me for dropping your phone!
Eleena: You drop it again la!!
Me: If I drop it again, it'll be spoilt again!
Eleena: Then I'll throw the phone at you!
Me: Oh. Then it'll be fine again!
