Surprise?

Judging from the title, you must be thinking about some birthday surprise or something but, no. When i came to school, i sat down with my usual group of friends from 2 Ixora. Once the bell rings, we all would stand up and return back to my class. Sometimes it isn't so bad. The very short assembly started and Cik Harmaizan announced that all 2 Orkid and 2 Mawar students have to stay back after the assembly is over. So, we did.

We gathered around the teacher and she said, "Okay, now all of you go to the canteen and have some food, then be back here by 8." She opened the door to the Health Room so that we can put our bags there. Everybody was chattering about what is going to happen. I though it was a field trip of some sort and it turned out to be. The bus arrived at 8:30 and we all got on. As expected, everybody planned to sit with the person they desire. I wanted to sit with Asuka but she already planned to sit with Charlotte. I just watched as everybody found their respective pairs and I ended up alone. It was kinda fun, two seats all belong to me! No need to hug onto my bag. But, it is still depressing as i don't have anyone to talk to, so i just sat there, looking out the window, admiring the scenery.

At around 9, the bus arrived at Bukit Damansara Community Hall and for the Domino's School Support Program seminar to achieve good results. Each student was given a bottle of water and a small packet of muesli bar which was really tasty, i must admit, although the packaging claims that it contains less than 100 calories. Back to the topic, we entered the hall which is already filled with students from various other schools. I heard history questions being fired at unsuspecting students and one of them was "Who was the minister (or something like that) from China that is involved in the development of Kuala Lumpur?" and the name Yap Ah Loi flashed into my mind. Looks like the revision I did on Monday paid off. I actually remembered. Yay ME! *does London Tipton clap*

Then they showed a short slideshow and a short introduction about the Domino's Support School's program and the leading speaker Adam Khoo. Then he appeared! Singapore's Leading Businessman who won the award of the Youngest Millionare Under The Age of 40. Here's a pic.


He tought us some techniques on how to study, i even took down some notes. He told us a story about his childhood, which was very funny. The way he pronounced his secondary school name was funny. Ping Yi. Has anyone heard of it? I don't think so, but the logo is nice.
The school doesn't look that bad, although it is the top 3 schools in Singapore, from the bottom. But i like the logo. Oh well. I learned alot of things, and new words. I had fun. The journey back to school was also a lonely one. But this time, i napped. And it was one good nap indeed. We arrived one period before school ended so i stayed in the Library, reading Chicken Soup for the Teen Soul. I read it before but who cares? It is a good read. Anyway, gotta go. Going to pay a visit to my god-sister. She is so cute. BYE!
