i have survived another miserable day, actually it wasn't all that bad, but i still can't cope academically, so it still sucks. i am still super tired. fatigue is a better word.
we had chem spa today and i am 200% sure that OAG is going to put my name down on her 'stupid students list' after she marks my chem test and prac. she will probably go 'aiyo! this girl! not familiar with her mole concepts! so stupid! how did she get into hci?! better kick her out man!' -_-" i fear the day i get back my test and prac. i hope i can get an A1 for o level chem so that i won't feel so inferior about my chem.
we had cross country today at turf city. actually, i thought we were just going to run to sixth ave and back to hci, but apparently not.. we had to make our way there to turf city to run around that terribly long track that my bro ran last year. but of course, the lazy me managed to get out of cross country in an orthodox and meaningful method - i am in first aid club! haha, so i was doing first aid duty. i thought it was going to be super slack lah and i would have need to do was to treat those people who were having heatstrokes or sth. no big deal about it. but sadly, that was not the case. first aid duty was TIRING. the first half an hour was super slack and kityeng and i got to know a new friend - sabrina from s79. she's from river valley and she's super nice! poor girl - her teacher is OAG!! how unlucky can that get?? i have yet to hear worse. OAG IS A SOV!!!
anyway, as i was saying, first aid duty wasn't fun at all. it was quite serious business; people fainted, had fake asthma attacks, psychological trauma, heart attacks and severe stitches. Almost every 15 mins, there would be someone running to the first aid tent and shouting 'there is a casualty! please hurry there!' and there we go, grabbing bottles of water, the 4kg first aid box and the stretcher to the casualty. but guess what? after sprinting all the way there and lugging all the first aid stuff, we find that our presence is redundant. let me site a few examples:
k, so the first major casuaulty was this. some teacher ran to us and shouted 'there is a casualty 200m from the starting line!' and we DASHED all the way there, panting and half dead. but by the time we reached, we realised that there were ALREADY people tending to the guy who fainted and there was ALREADY a stretcher there. so the poor guy who carried the stretcher and ran all the way did it for nothing. honestly, i really pity that guy who carried the stretcher since before running with the stretcher, he had already ran 4.2km. -_-" quite admirable. well, anyway, so we ran all the way for nothing.
second example, this guy ran to us and said 'someone is having an asthma attack! hurry!'. so me, sabrina and kityeng ran at full speed to the patient.well, it was quite inconvenient to reach her coz we had to crawl over 2 wooden barriers that had a drain in between it, but we tried our best to reach to her in the shortest time possible anyway. ok, so we went through all the obstacles and trouble and finally reached our casuaulty. guess what she said? 'i am ok lah, you all can go back.' ARGH! and i ran all the way for nothing!! ok, and so we went back to the first aid tent. then 5 mins later, another guy ran to us to tell us that someone was having an asthma attack - it was the same girl as before. so we ran all the way again, crawling over the dangerous wooden barriers that was filled with rusty iron nails. then when we got there, she said 'actually, i am really ok lah, you all don't need to come'. ARGH!!!!!!!! kityeng almost flipped. but sabrina was very patient lah.. she showed a lot of concern. anyway, that asthma attack girl decided to go to the ambulance in the end. quite lame lah...
then third example, some china guy had a heart attack 100m away from the first aid tent. so you can guess what happened right? yupz, we RAN AGAIN. that china guy was puking like mad and kityeng didn't have enough tissue, so i had to run back to get more. -more running- sabrina was quite cool lah, she was helping that guy clean his vomit from his mouth - i will never do that... *paranoid* then just at this point in time, someone ran over to us to tell us that across the track, someone was having severe stitch. so we RAN SOME MORE to treat to that girl. but once again, there was nothing we could do coz i mean, what can you do for a stitch man? even our pro first aid senior said we couldn't do anything. so just more redundant running.
k, then things settled down we finally got to rest a little at the first aid tent. there was this WEIRD j2 who was traumatised by the run. O_o no exaggeration, she was REALLY traumatised. there were like 10 people around her who were trying to counsel her?! she kept insisting that she was not fine and that when she fainted, she couldn't see anything - duh when you faint, you can't see anything right?? anyway, we spent about 1.5 hours trying to convince her that everything was fine, but she kept insisting that we took down her father's hp number so that we can call him if something happened to her. talk about paranoid.
yar, so that was first aid duty. quite tiring lah, but i guess anything is better than running cross country. s72 was quite sore that kityeng and i didn't have to run. haha! but anyway, my whole class was damn slack lah - half the class ponned and the other half walked. hahahaha! like seriously, for the guys competitive, the first guy in our class to finish was zhouhao and his number was 244 coz he walked half and ran the other half. then the rest of the guys came in as one of the last few. lolz! the girls also walked 95% of the course. hahaha. gavin actually wanted to visit me at the first aid booth by saying he has a heatstroke so that he can pon running, but too bad, the first aid tent was at the end of the finishing line. haha!
ooh!! there was this really cute sec 1 chinese high guy!! SO CUTE!!! he was ROUND, like really ROUND. and when he ran, it was just like ball rolling across the road!! hahahaha! he had a potbelly. oops! anyway, i took 2 photos of him! hahahaha! then there were these 3 little pigs - basically, they were some lower sec tchs guys who were also round and they were running side by side!! hahaha! damn funny!
then after cross country, we decided to go for dinner...we walked ALL the way from turf city to KAP coz the guys insisted that it was 'very near'. it was not near at all - the walk was torturous. dinner was ok i guess. reached home at about 9pm.
there is both stj and 4sy class party tomorrow. i actually planned to go for the 4sy party, but my mum thinks that i should go for stj since i treated the seniors during jts. sigh... but i really dunno lah. coz if i go to marche first to meet s72, i would be clad in 4sy class shirt, shorts and sandals - super sloppy dressing. AND i will be late for the party. but on the other hand, if i don't go for stj, i won't get to eat marche. sigh. dunno lah - i really want to go to the 4sy party. but i want to eat at marche also! aiyayayaya.
