TK is an ah long school.
i owe the school a "princely" sum of $80 and they send the stupid clerk after me like as if i'm some fugitive.
morning assembly: "will jesslynn ying, vanessarr pouh and eeevornne soooon cough up their miserable money before recess by today. thank you."
me: "hey! that girl has the same name as me! what are the odds man!"
evonne: "it IS your name! you got money annot?!"
me: "oh shoot!"
yeah.
what a predictcament i was in.
shake out the save-the-duck-foundation donation cans!
STD foundation. errrr.
hehheh. dont think dirty.
i had to spent the whole of maths and science periods just borrowing money from practically everybody in class.
wei rong: "psst! jac! pen?"
me: "i lend you my pen, you lend me 80 bucks?"
wei rong: "i KNEW you were going to say that."
me: "you got money annot...?"
wei rong: (drones on)"...and you know how i know?"
me: "yeah lah yeah lah, you can read my mind, you already told me on msn the other freaking day. you got money annot? 10 dollars?"
wei rong: "i smart mah. anyway i no money."
(pulls out wallet, rummages, 4 dollars appear, shows me empty wallet.)
ok fine strike out wei rong.
mannnn...disappointment big time. i thought he was loaded.
yeah yeah and i "dealt with hard fisted money lenders and ran up terrible debts. i risked my signature without even knowing if i could meet it."
haha. mathilde and loisel scene re-enactment.
yeah and from this experience, i learnt who is rich and who isnt.
take su wei for example.
she lent me 30 bucks.
30 BUCKS.
30 BUCKS.
oh sheesh! who the heck struts around with so much cash in her wallet?!
oh yeah, su wei.
during recess, i borrowed money from aiyan and she helped me ask this guy from her class.
ming yan or something.
10 dollars.
thank you, ming yan, you will be treated with reverance in the presence of my other duck followers.
ok! next victim-kwara.
me: "kwara...you have such wonderful eyes and you are my best friend...."
kwara: "do i owe you money?" (suspicious)
me: "no lah. i need money."
kwara: "how much?"
me: "you got 10 dollars? edusave lah. this stupid ah long school just placed a pig head on my table. i owe them freaking 80 dollars."
kwara: (pulls out 5 dollar bill) "nahh. i help you ask other people."
me: "help me ask eugene, i bought cookies from him during happy happy carnival."
kwara: "ahhh~"
end result? no cash.
i also learnt another thing-everyone is broke on fridays.
finally, i got 80 dollars.
OPERATION SAVE THE DUCK SUCCESS!
and when i went to pay up my dues, the clerk's eyes lit up with pleasure when she saw me.
clerk: "you here to cough...er, i mean, pay your edusave right?"
me: "yeah."
clerk: "aiyoooh. the moe people come after me leh for your edusave fees."
me: "mmm-mmm."
clerk: "ahh~ sign here and here and here and here to release you from your heavy burden officially."
me: "mmm-mmm."
clerk: "ok! you can go now! bye! and by the way, did you like the pig head on your table?"
i hate the school non-teaching staff.
they just sit on their arse all day typing nonsense into their out-dated computers and extort money from us, poor, defenseless, hapless school children and when you do not pay up on time, you get a free pig head on your table.
they probably get higher pay too.
since all they do is just to get pally with the principal and BOOM! the cash rains on them.
while teachers slave all day and even have to donate (especially the maths ones) to the singapore blood bank.
and what do they get?
peanuts.
compared to what the non-teaching staff get.
non-teaching staff get marshmallows.
now which would you pick?
peanuts?
or marshmallows?

damn, i still have to repay the wonderful, kind, helpful, dashing/pretty school mates who helped and contributed to the STD foundation.
