Life Does Not Have a U-Turn Sign or Restart Button. Once You've Screwed Up, You've Screwed Up.

We had 2 SAFMC meetings in a row! That was terrible. The one yesterday found the launcher broken. The one today found the launcher in patches. Our plane flew perfectly well when thrown manually but totally nose dived when the launcher was utilized. Damn.

Anyway, I stayed at school from 09:12-17:49 around there. Wasn't very eventful, if you ask me, but the best part was around 09:20. Awesome, I tell you.

Rachel and I crossed paths at the stairwell outside the hall and decided to return to class since Rachel had checked the hall and all but couldn't find Sophia or anybody from SAFMC. The freezing air that hit our faces when we walked through the doors of our classroom told us the air-con was turned on. We left it on anyway. Who wouldn't when they felt warm?

At about 09:20 (oh yes, this is where I'm gonna hurl with laughter), Rachel and I decided to check out Anderson Staff Room to see if the results of the RS teacher initiated proposals had been officially posted. Rachel swung the back door open, still chatting away, and when her mind registered that Chun Hui was behind the door, she screamed. Followed by Chun Hui. Then Sophia who was behind Chun Hui. And there I was clutching my stomach and howling with laughter, right fist curled tightly and hitting the nearest desk as fast as I could.

*grins* It's never interesting retold, but still, at least I made an effort.

We hopped down to Far East for lunch at the usual KFC (I'm so sick and tired of fast food, don't show me another for two weeks minimum). I was pondering on whether to buy the Extra Value Meal or the Cheesy BBQ Melts or the Zinger Burger. Couldn't decide, but Sophia made the decision for me when she ordered the Extra Value Meal and reminded me that it wasn't worth the S$5.50 I would be paying for it, so I ordered the Cheesy BBQ Melts.

Oh, when I last ordered the Extra Value Meal (with the drink changed to Ice Lemon Tea and therefore cost S$5.95), I was shortchanged S$3. I noticed it at first but was afraid of them hounding me for wasting their time for a mere S$3. Kimberly finally urged me enough to get me straight before the counter to 'demand' my money back.

It was successful, but extremely time consuming. They had to look through all their receipts and see if the money tallies, then check with me to see if they had indeed shortchanged me (which they did but simply refused to admit due to their idiotic pride).

Back, the melts turned out awesome. I kept complimenting it, Rachel kept begging for bits, and Mel kept telling me not to continue for fear of Sophia's jealousy...lol. I didn't even notice she was jealous...

We were mighty late for the trials, but no one cares, right?

You know the rest. Stupid plane only flies when handled by Homo sapiens.

Oh! Before the launcher trials, we were trying to design our planes, which I don't really care much about. They tried to get me to design, but I gave up. When I saw the image of a plane on the blackboard (yes, BLACK) with triangular designs on it, I pointed it out and said it would have been a great design.

Rachel acted all high and mighty and claimed that she was a genius, to which her unclear words were twisted into 'genus' by Sophia, and I did the finest tuning and churned out the word 'Homo'. It's a genus, correct? I made no error. Rachel's a Homo. Watch out, girls. Rachel preys on people of the same gender. Eww...
