An embarrassing encounter

  *SLIP* I went on my way to school today.
" Oh no.... Late for school again(about to)... Better rush" I thought.

This cover. I went up the blunt steps. I hit something. It was a rock. Looking down, I realised my pants had dropped(must been the fall).
  I ran to the nearest toilet, zipped up my pants and yea. Problem solved. Now, I just need everyone who saw me to understand my plight and not call me a flasher. HEADLINES: P6 BOY FROM ******** PRIMARY FLASHED HIS BOTTOM THROUGHTOUT JOURNEY TO SCHOOL! That would be nasty! Just hope such a thing won't appear on the newspaper tomorrow!

Time to go!

Bubble Tea

Hahahaha... MC's favorite topic!

What are my expectations of Bubble Tea??

a) Quality of Tea/Ice
b) Softness/Hardness of pearls
c) Size of cup
d) Environment

Let's start with a)

The Quality. I have tried almost all the bubble tea shops in Simei.
Here are some: Sweetalk
                         Each-a-cup
                        Ice cream truck man

Sweetalk: With machines in and outside the shop, situated near the air hole(for underground air) and china staff,
this bubble tea shop is sure to be off my list. 1) Machinery provides *GAS* witch sometimes seep into the sealed cup. 2) It's right beside the East Point air hole for underground air  3) China staff don't understand WHAT I AM ASKING FOR!! eg. " Can I have a champagne grape Ice-blended please?" I asked
                                                      "Huh?" the staff replied me with a puzzled look on her face.
                                                     I asked again.
                                                         "Huh?"
                                                        ......Forget It. I'm going to Each-a-cup.

Each-a-cup: Most probably the best Bubble tea in Simei. Situated on the second floor of Eastpoint, It is very convenient for anyone. Though some of the staff come from China, they were well-trained. Whatever you tell them, they will do it( not unless you speak to them in some foreign language) Their Pearls are soft and genuine. They are not hard to swallow( because nearly everyone orders small pearls) Well, big pearls are the same just the difference in size. Their prices are also somehow cheap. A smoothie for SGD$.1.90 only,( compared to $2.50 and more) the quality is so far the best. Not to mention that they don't use syrup for Ice-blended teas. ( unlike SOME shop)  Mainly, Bubble Tea is heaven for Singaporeans because ofthe hot weather. Sadly, pollution has caused Orchad Road to turn into Orchad River, which has caused nothing to happen(yet). I recommend Each-a-cup not because I hate Sweetalk. The quality there is really good. Would you pay $2.50(or higher) for a poorly made smoothie? Other people just plomp in the ingredients at the same time( seriously) The ice cream man does that. Each-a-cup follow procedures. Put the healthier *syrup* (forgot what they used) , put in the ice, put the milk/oreo, add some hot water and *ZIIINC* the blender goes on.

Looking back, I just realised how much I can write about bubble tea at Each-a-cup. Maybe that recommendation by MC( to record Kirk,Rusydan and myself talking about bubble tea) Hahahaha. that was really fun. Surprisingly, MC loves bubble tea. maybe I should create my own recipe and let MC try it? LOL
See first.

7.30PM has reached. Time to have dinner. TIll next time~

The is right in your face.

Time: 1.17PM GMT+8 Singapore, Changkat Primary School.

"Ya, the info is right in your face" Kei Hong said with a smile.
Is this service with a smile? To me, the sentence " The info is right in your face" sounds like " You blind ah? In front of you also cannot see. Don't act la." Direct Singlish translation. A Science presentation and that sentence is blurted out by KH. A picture of a polar bear flashed onto the screen.
"Yep, thats the picture of a polar bear, Isin't it so CUTE?" KH exclaimed.
" Technically, I thnk its..." KH bla bla bla..

" Ni dong jiu shi dong, bu dong bu yao zhuang dong" or " If you know,you know,you don't know, don't act like you know". For this presentation, I feel that he is an "extra".

Another incident, I'm buying my bowl of Chicken Cutlet Noodles. KH is standing behind me. " Hey Jer!" "HELLO??" "JEREMY!" "HEY!!" KH shouted.

"CAN YOU JUST SHUT THE **** UP!?" I could not take it anymore.
First, I lost my calculator
Secondly, I didin't bring my wallet
Thirdly, THIS GUY IS MAKING MY BRAIN EXPLODE.

IN 5C, TAY HAOYI was the ATTENTION SEEKER.
IN 6b, CHAN KEIHONG is more worse than TAY HAOYI.
5 more months and I'm seperated from him.(KH)
I feel sorry for Kirk. He has been stuck with KH for 2 YEARS.
Congratulations to Kh for his Chinese improving. But if he sees that some people just don't want to reply him, because of something, he should learn when to talk and when to keep quiet.

Seriously. I don't want to use that F word ever again. It is our puberty stage. We have mood swings sometimes when something is irritating us or when we feel frustrated.

My anger has vanished. Sorry KH for using that F word on you.
