Today's english oral was very easy. Yay!
But a strange thing for all us 849 first-halvers - the teachers(both female) liked to interrupt us in the picture discussion with prompts. For example, (and this applied to all of us) when we just started "this picture depicts a scene of a giraffe enclosure in the zoo -" and then when we wanted to speak about the other two sentences concerning the big picture like abt the time, mood, weather or whatever, the teachers interrupt and one points to the boys feeding the giraffe ice-cream and drinks and goes "what do you think the boys are doing?" And it went on like that for most of the picture discussion. But well, I think and do hope that I did well! Am happy cos the teachers were very smiley to me (shows that they're pleased!) and they said "very good" a few times. Yay! We watched Mr Bean in the hall while waiting. Pretty funny. I liked the part where he was at the beach and needed to change from his pants into his swimming trunks. There was no changing area, so he had to do it in front of a man by putting on his trunks and then pulling out his pants from one side. He made a tough effort to do so and finally succeeded! - Just to find that that man was BLIND! (: Still found it funny although I had watched it before. Ms Jocelyn Tan decided not to give us the papers when we were in the hall after all. She said that she had decided to let us rest. He he. Was disappointed, but nevermind.
Then, I went with my mom to tampines central, the big hawker centre-market place thingy. It was about 11 something. And I ate a huge bowl of delicious hai xian tang(seafood soup) and couldn't finish my rice! (: And guess what... this lady carrying groceries came up to us and asked if I was in the same class as her son. I was like "huh?". Then she asked what class I was in and said her son was in 6/12. My mom said I was in 6/12 too! AHH! I went, "No, no, 6/11!". My mom was like, "Oh. Really?". Me: "Uh...ya."(and then to the lady) "Who's your son?"
Okay now... make a guess...

Now brace yourself...

It's...
.

AHHHH!

ELIAS!
UGH!
Yes, "ugh." was my immediate reaction and I rolled my eyes. My mom was like "Rachel..."
(: I went "sorry, but..."
Elias' mom said, "Is your daughter in the first half? My Elias is in the second half... and he's still not out... *sigh*" well, she didn't EXACTLY speak those words, but as far as I can remember, that's somewhat like it.
After that the lady left after bading us goodbye and then my mom bought some stuff after we finished lunch. In the car, we had a very wierd conversation about how Elias' mom knew that I was in the P6 GE when I don't recall having met her before. Now come to think of it, I think she might have seen me at one of the mother's day celebrations or something. Anyway, my mom said that whenever she and the other mother's, like if they were waiting opposite the traffic light, they would go like "hi, i'm ____'s mom." And then when she said that she was Rachel's mom, the other mothers would go like, "OH! Rachel - I hear she's a very good artist!" or "She's very cute!" sigh. I told my mom that for the mothers who said I was cute, either their child was a girl, or they had seen me before. I can't IMAGINE any boy saying I am cute to his mom!!! And mind you, cute as in baby voice, pinchy cheeks "cute". ):
Anyway, have to continue studying for tomorrow's chinese oral, but good thing tomorrow can sleep in. (:
