first day of the new term, and it couldn't have started better than today. well, actually it could, but today's considered quite okay for a schoolday.
so basically, the manchester united rounded up my holiday week sweetly with a beautiful 4-1 crushing of bolton, with the match bearing the trademark of Cristiano Ronaldo. the dazzling portuguese winger was the mastermind behind the goals, two each coming from park ji-sung and english gem wayne rooney. he weaved in and out of the defense, making a mockery out of bolton with manchester united being 3-0 up by half-time. it would have been a perfect score if Gary Speed didn't manage to perfect his penalty. whatever the case, the Devils have shown the world that injuries to major players in the team will not affect their spirit but instead, make them more determined to prove the critics wrong.
anyway, the weather was nice this morning; really cloudy, so i didn't feel that warm. and i got a surprise when i walked into class today; Debbie had left a Kinder Bueno bar on my desk, sort of like a birthday gift. (Thanks Deb!!! you are the rockiest vice-chair ever! <3 ) and then Nurun gave me a birthday card and a necklace with a purple heart locket. (aww... so nice of you amiga.. <3 ) and i'm getting a lot of belated birthday wishes today, haha (in no particular order and those i can remember so far) :

english was first period and it was rather slack cos Mr Tan understood that it was the first day of the term and nobody feels like doing work. haha.. so he only gave us a newspaper article to comment on, and even that became homework. and he extended our holiday homework until the end of the week. he was so nice lah! and then he told us about his days at NUS, when they had to do flag day. it was rather interesting lah..
geography was next. ms karen tan was uber-nice today, and then she told us to prepare for a "debate" on whether parts of the amazon rainforest should be cut down for modernisation. i was in the "deforestation is necessary and good" group.
after recess was chemistry practical. and i'm gonna remember this lesson cos this was the first lesson where a test tube managed to slip from my hand and shatter. i tell you, they should start making test tubes out of some special plastic. pyrex breaks. anyway, malu seh tadi. ingatkan nak tanya teacher aku random question macam club mana dia sokong. alik-alik, pecahkan test tube pulak..
a maths was fun but confusing. ms ang had us entranced with alpha and beta for the quadratic equations. "alpha + beta = -b over a" "alphabeta = c over a" "therefore, x can be represented as x square - (sum of roots) + (product of roots)" and then there was homework. i was rather enthusiastic to do it, cos of all the alpha beta thing. sekali forgot to bring home my a maths book, and homework due tomorrow. terok lah like this!
