school has been great so far. workload is starting to pour in though. expected.
today's lit lesson was so so exceptionally funny and i laughed till i cried and had hiccups a couple of times. no, not the teacher, because of group work. aarthi, the usual funniest member of the group, was up to usual nonsense. no offence, aarthi.
Okay apparently we were supposed to write a haiku(5-7-5) and tanka (5-7-5-7-7)about poetry, if i am not wrong, during lit lesson and discuss it as a group.
okay so, what my wonderful group did was laughing away with random phrases of haiku sentences, such as "obama or osama; george bush or hitler" and stuff. In the end we wanted something FIERY. Lols. The haiku we managed to write:
Cool and blue it flows
Reflects a burning passion
A secret unveiled
Cool right? Okay the funny part is when it came to the tanka. i have no idea who started it okay. In the end, after terrible laughter with people falling off chairs,
It is:
Poetry is bliss
Come and give me a hot kiss
When you come dont hiss
Melting like hot chocolate
Literature, you are bliss
PLS, NO WRONG INTENTIONS.
Haha at that time when we wrote this, we were laughing like mad idiots, when our lit teacher, Ms De Silva (new lit teacher taking over mrs clara tan. she's a relief teacher), came and saw what was written. The conversation:
MS DE SILVA: so what have you guys written so far?
GROUP: (covers the tanka, laughing)
AARTHI: Nvm, let's just show our creativity la.
ME: Please, no wrong intentions
MS DE SILVA: (reads it, shocked) you guys are too young for this.
AARTHI: (decribing VERY vividly) no, i mean we have a really STRONG passion for literature, and through this tanka, which is so romantic, it is expressed. See our CREATIVITY
MS DE SILVA: You people ahhh!
GROUP: Aarthi is the youngest here. we are seated according to our birthdays.
MS DE SILVA: NO WONDER!
GROUP: (laugh like anything)
MS DE SILVA: but what is mrs tan sees it?
AARTHI: we'll be able to explain it.
MS DE SILVA: Now that you guys have done, write another one.
AARTHI: No problem, we'll write another PASSIONATE one.
MS DE SILVA: WHAT?!
AARTHI: No la, just kidding. We'll be serious.
MS DE SILVA: Okay. I'll come back again.
HAHAS, and then we broke up laughing. Then we had a random caht when aarthi suddenly mentioned that she actually thinks that short people SHOULD model, cos if they got the figure, they can model well. LOLS. Then she said of how she wanted to start a modelling agency. criteria:below the height of 1.6m and we were like, aarthi, you model for the teapot industry ah? ROFLOL. Then we were telling joey, about aarthi's modelling agency and we were like, criteria number 2, you need to know how to stand like a teapot cos the theme song is gna be, I'm a little teapot short and stout. HAHAS!!!
Anyway, we came up with a PROPER tanka at last, AND IT STILL HAS SHAKESPEARE AND HITLER! This is REALLY creative okay!
Shakespeare or Hitler
Both have impacted the world
Poetry or War
Drop of hope in sea of war
Provides light when hope is lost.
LOL, if you look at it in the surface meaning, it means, during war people are reading shakespeare's work like MERCHANT OF VENICE. Hahas. can you imagine if the people are like, run run, the soldiers are coming and bla, and you will be like, NONONO, I want to know what happened to Portia! LOLLLLLL!
And we asked Ms De Silva what she wants to be when she grows up (our favourite question for all our relief teachers haha). She said she doesnt know and we were telling her about aarthi's modelling ambition. HAHAS, and someone said that aarthi will be the advertiser for TRIUMPH. LOL!
All I can say it was a funny lesson with me hicupping often from all the laughter and a possibly sick and CREATIVE lesson (in AARTHI's perspective). HAHAS!
How'd I wish school had so much fun like this. [NOT IN THE SICK SENSE]. Livens the day up! (:
And on a sidenote, I feel so guilty. I have not been keeping in touch that much with my dear Rulang friends. D: Realised it when I spoke to LIM JIAYI after a long time ytd, AND SHE STILL REMEMBERS MY BIRTHDAY! YAY JIAYI! <3333 I hope I can still keep in touch with them, cos they mainly made up my primary part of my life. (:
Okay, that's about it. Wait for the next update (:
Take care peeps! <333
