Write to live, live to write.


AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Tuesday, October 14, 2008


Yesterday we had a day of reflections. When I saw that on the enrichment week's timetable, I thought that it'd just be us sitting in the Multi Purpose Room 1 the whole day writing our reflections for the entire year.
In a way, I wasn't wrong.
We did sit in the MPR1 for the entire day, but it wasn't writing reflections. Hell, it didn't involve any writing at all. They brought in this team that did school missions and whatchamacallit stuff, and they talked about love and friendship, and they shared two sappy love stories, including the one involving one of our teachers, and told ghost stories, and played Abba music which we were all expected to sing and dance to.
I gotta say, they really like Abba, don't they?
Pity they didn't play Waterloo, though.
But that's getting off track.
Reminds me of the good old days where I used to digress so often...
but I'm digressing again.
So, back to the subject. Anyway, they got the teachers to go up on stage and we had to go and thank them for what they had done, and they got a pretty enthusiastic response (although I didn't see a lot of people clustering around Lemon). Then the teachers came on and talked about how what they were doing was all for us and all that. Then it ended with another, non-Abba song, and we all went home.

And then came today.
We went to the Chinese Heritage Centre and almost fell asleep. The irony of it all is that for our school newsletter thingum me and Gen have got to write an article about this. But photos weren't allowed, and there was no guide, so I'm at a loss of what to write about.
But the Creative Thinking thing was fun. The chap was absolutely hilarious, a laughing stock in a good way. He showed us plenty of creative stuff and brilliant pictures of hallowe'en watermelons and suicidal oranges.
I've got a feeling that the theme for enrichment week this year is "Be a loony!" 'cause everyone we've had so far has proved themselves to be loonies, albeit in different ways.
