Is today yesterday's tomorrow, Or tomorrow's yesterday?

Before I tell about today, let's recap yesterday's activities.

I went to school feeling anxious. My mind was stuffed with words and numbers that I hoped would not disappear. First period came and it was time to sit for Add Maths test 2b. We had test 2a a week ago but we weren't fully prepared so with our - well, most of us - request, Mr. Mahen agreed to do a second test for the month. I feel that I did better than the previous because I did my revision. I hope the result won't be disappointing.

With the numbers done, my attention was focused on both BM lisan and English debate. Before recess my class and I got to see the Debat Ala Parlimen by the form fives. I'm impressed with my cousin Danish as he was undoubtedly outstanding among the others. He did not even referred to any piece of paper whatsoever! Why am I so different from him? Even my brother is much more socialised than I am so why do I feel so timid when it comes to public speaking?

After PE, which was after recess, comes the time where I stuttered a bit. There was a recording camera located in front of two tables. That was the place where I sat and told a news. I felt so stupid. Period.

Then, at approximately 1:15pm, I was at the auditorium, debating. The topic was Television Is A Bad Influence. I was in the opposition team with my lovely fellow friends - Sam, Chen-yan and Joseph - who I am thankful and proud of for going through this with me. This time I didn't stutter. Confidence was sort of there but not quite. I still referred to the cue cards a lot which has become a habit of mine during public speaking, which I despise doing it. I really need a hell lot of practice if I were to talk boldly and confidently.

For now, thank God it was over.

Today, I felt exhausted. I was already very sleepy last night due to a lot of exercising physically and mentally. I screamed in the pillow and then cried myself to sleep. This morning before going to school I said to myself, it's going to be a bad day. During the morning assembly... I am not going to talk about it to prevent any violent cursing here. Moving on, during English class, Mrs. Deeba expressed her disappointment about the debate yesterday. Turns out we did not do well and I have to admit that I feel it boring as well. I think it's mainly because the proposition team did not give much points for us (Sam especially) to oppose to. I really thought the proposition team will stand out because of the strong speaking team members. But, quite thankfully, they did not. Mrs. Deeba also told is the comments made by the judges, which were mostly "it's a poor debate". But Joseph has the least comments (or was it no comment?) which mrs. Deeba thinks that he might get an award for best speaker, if there will even be an award for that. According to the judges sam and I are to be trained as the school's speaker. At that, I was shocked. The judges commented me that I was depending too much on the bloody cue cards and now they want to train me? Are you freakin serious? But at the same time I was kind of flattered because I know there's a reason to this and I take the reasons as hidden compliment.

During lunch time today, it was the form fives turn to debate. Their topic was about Girls and Boys, who's better. I came a little late I didn't get to hear the fort speakers. At first it ws okay and normal, and then in the middle it spiced up a bit. When it comes for Danish to speak as the fourth opposition speaker, BAM! the girls team was like a fly smashed by a fist. I was really amazed by his way of speaking and directing his points like bullets, killing the girls team hands down! Yesterday, I was impressed with Danish's way of debating. Today, I admire and envy his way of public speaking. I know, it's crazy of me to compliment him so much, too much. But I can't help it right now.

After school, emily, mingzhi, sam, chen-yan and I went to the science lab to complete two experiments. During biology class we didn't get to finish the experiment so we diligent nerds agreed to stay back. When we got to the lab, the teacher wasn't there so the lab assisstant, Kak Yun, assissted us throughout the experiment. We divided into two groups so that we can finish both quickly. Emily, mingzhi and I did the startch and saliva experiment while the other two did the pH level thingy experiment. Guess who's saliva we used for the first experiment? Mine. I can't believe I had to sacrifice my saliva, twice this day, for an experiment. Oh well, to be a successful person, sacrifices must be made. We actually had fun doing the experiment. We took pictures too, of course, since it's after school. Then I thought, BIOLOGY IS FUN WITHOUT THE TEACHER! It's true. We've proved it. =D

Whoever was reading this, probably has fallen asleep. So I shall stop my blabbering of my life. This is why I sometimes don't like blogging, when I'm so into story telling my life, time is wasted, and now I am hungry.

I can't wait for Saturday! No fret hanna and al, I'll be with you girls soon! <3
