Years to build, seconds to tear down. Today is terrible.
School was fine during the first half of the day - before recess. But after recess, my day was practically ruin. Never did I expect that my actions will cause so much trouble, what I did was what a typically BOONLAYIAN would do.
Since my mood is being destroyed by this event, I shall talk about this today.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION, we did 1.6km run today. I was jogging for 1.2km before sprinting for the last 400m. This run made me sweat like hell. Mr Bong release us for recess and reminded us to change back into our uniform before end of recess. Because of the run, I don't feel hungry, so I brought a cup of sweet drink up to the class.
When I reach 4/5, I saw Jirah eating, so I asked her if I could taste. Of course, she said can. Because I brought the sweet drink up to class, because I ate that mouthful of rice, I was given a PENALTY.
MY ACTIONS RUINED MY REPUTATION.
Just because I am the president, I have to be a role model. Just because I am the president, I couldn't do what other people are doing. Just because I am the president, people hate me, they sabo me. IT MAKE SENSE THOUGH.
THEN MAYBE I SHOULD GET A FEW SECURITY TO ESCORT ME.
Because I was so LUCKY, at the moment when I put that spoonful of rice into my mouth, a teacher saw. shall not mention her name to protect her reputation, I am not as bad as her. A Indian girl complained to her that the PRESIDENT is in the class, so when she came, I was eating. HOW AWESOME is that? totally suay, she saw me eating and ASSUMED that I brought the food up. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE WHEN THERE IS A RULE THAT THE VENDOR IS NOT SUPPOSE TO SELL PACK FOOD TO STUDENTS DURING RECESS TIME?! I HATE people who assume.
I am seriously an UNLUCKY girl, because normally Me, Cassan and Serene will sit below our class and eat our food. But because our previous lesson was PE and I was so hot and needed to cool down, that's why I when up to class to slack. BUT, so heng that when I am eating Jirah's food, i got caught. so heng that the Indian girl who saw me bringing drink up didn't like me. so heng that there was a teacher for her to inform. and even more heng that that teacher is a BIG TRUMPET.
Haiss, of course, which trumpet do not make noise? She told Mr Yang LOUDLY in the staffroom. because of her ability to work as a trumpet, many others heard it too when she was informing Mr Yang. One of them is Mr Desmond i guess.
Mr Yang called, but I was changing in the toilet so I didn't pick up, He came to look for me personally and though he didn't scold me, I felt bad. I remembered exactly every single word that was coming out from his mouth. He began with, "Jiayun, I need to talk to you.'' and when I went forward, he asked ''Did you bring food up?''. I really don't know why didn't I say no, I only bring drinks. Instead, I said yes. Then he say, '' a teacher saw and complained to me, you are the president of the Student Council.'' I felt so remorse, I just stood there and looked at him. then I promised that I will not do it again.
Till here, I was already agitated. Not angry with Mr Yang, just angry, maybe with my actions. From Jirah and Cassan, I found out that it was that Indian girl who sabo-ed me. At that instance, all I wanted to do was to run to her and ask her WHY. But afraid that I might overdo, Cassan and Jirah stopped me.
When I started to clam down, it became Mdm Suziela's turn. She told me that she need to speak to me, I could also remember every single word she said to me. She left an impactful sentence on me.
'' DARLING, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN REPUTATION TO PROTECT''
tears filled my eyes, and I immediately hold back the temptation to cry. BANG, 2 times in a row. the more they don't scold, then more I tear up. Feeling even more agitated and angry at the person who sabo-ed me, I tweeted bad about her. I swear my tweets was seriously murderous, I seriously felt like killing her. Luckily Jirah calmed me and and asked me if what I did was right, and I deleted my tweets. The scary thing was, her lesson is after recess and she already heard the news. By then, I can confirmed that half of the staff knows about it.
When i finally decided to talk to that Indian girl calmly, I got a strike. 3 times in a row. I went to 4/8 for MT period, then Miss Tan told me, '' I heard about you.'' I was like, OKAY CAN? Then I went out of the class to the classroom in front of 4/8, I sat alone feeling super helpless.
I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME :(
I called Jirah, she told me that if those teachers are gonna judge me by one small mistake i make, then i shall ignore them, because they are not worth my sorry. I was crying and talking to her, I seriously don't know why the hell did i cry. I just cried.
I went back to 4/8 to complete my assignment, I sat at the last row at the back of the class. I needed assurances, but was given none. By the side of my eyes, my eyes glittered, but no one care. I finish my assignment ASAP and went back home. HAD NO MOOD TO GO TO CCA AT ALL.
I took super long to prepare and went to school, in the end, i reached school at around 4pm. At least Miss Tan was caring enough to know the reason of why i am so super late. She just marked my attendance and kept quiet. At CCA, I found a little bit of joy and forget a little bit off sorrow. Thanks to those cute sec 1s, they made me laugh a lot :)
After CCA end, Mr Desmond talked to me. He asked me what's SPIDER MAN'S favourite word, guess what? I said ''spider man''. Of course, that is the wrong answer. This is the correct answer,
WITH GREAT POWERS, COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.
We chat for around 20-30minutes. I asked him about why must that teacher spread this news in the staffroom, and he said that she did not meant it, it just happened that is is a little bit too LOUD. Mr Desmond really did talk sense into me. I felt better after having the conversation with him. It is indeed that because I am the president, i should be the role model. BLAMED IT ON MY LUCK he say. Maybe I am really unlucky, when i did not go to the class, she was not there. And when i went, she was there. But me myself was to blame too. Sorry to let down all the teachers, especially MR YANG :( he might also be in a very awkward position, having such a president. A big thanks to MR DESMOND TAN for talking to me, although we quarrelled before, I swear I teared up while talking to him just now. NEVER DID I EXPECT I WILL SEE THIS SIDE OF HIM. :) I just hope that on Monday, teachers wont look at feel feeling disgusted.
Thanks to all those who comforted me, sorry for showing my sucky attitude. ESP, Cassandra, Jirah, Shi Hui and Yusuf :)
HOPE :)
