Good Day

God has blessed me wit a better day than y'day. Sure, I got sum stares today. Ching aka "Vain" (hoho, weird buddy) n Ee Von came over to ask me y I was standing y'day. I explained, n they said I looked really scary. Oh well, I'm getting tht a lot. Anyway, after tht, during Maths class, Mr. Choo came back, n he looked at me n said, "Y? Wat's wrong wit u? Amanda?" Then when I gav him sign the BKK, I told him. He was lik, "Wanna sue a not?" I said, "Yes. My brother n ur son can b my lawyers." Haha. Tht's cos his son n my bro studied together in UWE in UK, blah blah blah.

During BM lesson, En. Yarha also asked me, "Kenapa berdiri semalam?" I had to tell him my story. Then he said, "Saya terkejut." Cos of seeing me stand la. After tht was English, n Pn. Pari called Chew Yong in front. I knew I wud b nxt, but I wasn't exactly worried, cos I had sumting else to focus on: Lavenya! U knw, I fell into the drain (n had a taste of those pokey plants) n got both legs hurt. Man! Y'day n today, Lavenya n Lin Kee hve been taking turns to urut me wit Chew Yong's minyak kapak. I've been shouting n goin, "Ai-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya" and "Har har!" Not laughing, tht's jus how I sounded when it's really pain, n I go "Ai-ya... " when it's abt to be really pain. LOL!

OKOK, abt Pn. Pari. Then, she called me after Lavenya applied Savlon antiseptic cream (she put so much!) Here's the conversation:

Pn. Pari (PP): What happened y'day?
Me: I was passing sumting to Chew Yong n Pn. Khairiah saw us.
PP: Wat were u passing?
Me: Liquid paper.
PP: U couldn't keep it urself?
Me: I knew I had to go in front for the Spelling Bee thing so I didn't want it to be visible whr I hid it so I gav it to Chew Yong (I said this real fast so she wouldn't hear the "whr I hid it" part =P)
PP: OK. N u didn't keep it in ur bag?
Me: I took it out. (Wat a lame answer! If it's not in my bag, then obviously I took it out, rite? Aih. I'm so illogical sumtimes.)
PP: Mmm... [Looks at my leg as I bend down to check on the cream] How's ur leg?
Me: It's OK. But standing y'day kind of put a toll on it. (This is so true! Lavenya said my leg really changed colour after standing for 35 mins y'day. Oh oh, skl abuse!)
PP: I didn't understand why they had to make u two stand. Actually, I didn't realize u both were there. N she (DP) had to call all the prefects to stand behind to make it more obvious. (I so did not realize tht DP did tht, cos evryone was whispering "Spotcheck... ") I've spoken to her before to not ask students to stand. It would jus demotivate them. I mean, tell me, out of so many students, only u all were talking? There's almost 600 students, n I can say tht almost half of them - 300 - were talking. Sum in front also I saw them chatting.
Me: Yeah, true. In fact, I was shocked also when she called me. I didn't tink tht I had to stand. N when I came to skl, a few ppl were looking at me. Sigh.
PP: I was shocked too. Cos u r good girls. I was very sad tht they asked u to stand. When I went home also I was tinking tht tmrw when u girls cum back to skl, surely u will feel embarrassed n receive many stares. But nvm them.
Me: Well, actually, I was afraid tht I'd be disappointing u. It's lik, 2H has a bad name already...
PP: [Cuts in] No, don't tink tht. I'm sure all the teachers knw tht u r good girls. I'll make sure they knw tht u r good girls. (I wonder how... (".) But, Amanda, jus forget it. She's the discipline teacher. Out of so many students, she chose to pick u all as examples for the others. Wrong examples.
Me: [Nod, nod, nod]
PP: Take this as a challenge to show tht u're better than this. Don't feel tht cos u had to stand, then u're no good already. When u leave this skl at Form 5, get straight As n walk out wit dignity.
Me: [Nod, nod, nod] (Wat was I to say, anyway?)
PP: Chew Yong, cum here. (Chew Yong shuffles uncertainly) [Then Pn. Pari repeats wat she said to me abt the dignity thing, n looks at me as she says this, then Chew Yong looks at me expectantly] ("Wat?" my face says) Now, girls, u go back to ur seats. [Gets up, n turns to the class] I'm sure u knw d incident y'day at assembly? Three of our girls were called to stand up. I wonder how u all were feeling when u saw them. Surprised? Sad? Happy? I'm sure u all were surprised n sad, definitely not happy. I was too. But u knw, girls, let this b a lesson to u to talk less n work harder. Stay alert. When it cums to assembly, jus don't talk until u can.

Really, she's the only teacher tht I've ever felt cud cum close to being a mother for me in skl. Anyway, tht's wat she said. Quite a lot, eh? Then, after tht, evryting was pretty normal. But I thank God once again for being ever so faithful to me. When I came to skl, I knew He was wit me. All I had to do was get thru the day. Thank you, Jesus! U hve rode n overcome this tiny storm wit me.
