Under a spell
The earthquake was back...though small..the effect was devasting. It sent out high waves of tsunamis which sank the sanguinity of the morning. It was an upheaval. Sudden, swift and deadly. Casualties? Perhaps a couple. Others were left in a state of disarray. How does it feel to know that you are going to be consumed by death soon? The waiting is stinging. The least that can be done is to feign that nothing is going to happen.
Don't get so uptight though. It's not another mishap. Its just an epitaph of what had happened during the first half of the day of mine. Eng rep. Got to continue with that job. I'm not retired yet. In fact I got another job and that is being one of the committee members of the class. Given the onuses of the in-charge in the class's Pupils Studies. I'm under me. That's because I am given the duty to head several groups of people and one of them is Subject reps. And I am one of the subject reps.
Alright...so what happened this morning that it's so dreadful? Actually for today, I realize that I had a hole in my heart. Not literally though. It's just that I don't really feel anything. Seriously nothing. Had English lesson and that means Miss Kelly Lim. A majority of the class so called despise her? Perhaps the word ''despise'' is a bit too harsh. Anyway after her lesson, me and Nasihah had to see her. She asked us whether we wanted to stepped down and for no apparent reason I decided to stay at the helm of being an English rep. A very, very stupid, derisive,ridiculous, unimaginable move? Well, I don't really care frankly speaking. I don't know why but I just felt the need to remain in the service. Somehow the word ''NO'' didn't came across my mind what more it being coming out of my mouth. I didn't feel sympathy neither did I feel ire. It's just neutral. Feelings stagnant like still waters.
And the first consequence came on this very morning. All holiday homework was to be handed in today by 3.30. That was the ''tsunami''.It sent most people running into insanity. Well partly its their fault too for not completing the work. But the job today was tough. Let's envisage the situation given here.
Operation Time Crash
Situation:
Holiday homework was given to Sec 3/3 last year. The holiday homework given is as follows:
English Comprehension: 4 different entries with summaries
English Composition: Choose any 3 out of 5 topics from this past exam paper as can be looked up at the English TYS
Objectives: 1) Seperate all the comprehension pieces into the respective questions 2) Seperate the compositions into the five different topics 3) Arrange all the work in each stack in index number order 4) Check that all work is done properly 5) Identify those who did not hand in their work
Impediments: 1) Most students did not complete work fully 2) Handing in of work is done by person 3) Work handed in was done when I'm not ready thus there was disruptions in proper procedure that would have cut down on time consumption and results in better efficiency and a smooth flow of organization 4) Everything to be completed within a certain time frame
It took me a few hours to get everything to fall into place. Luckily there were kind souls who had helped me out. I would like to say a gargantuan THANK YOU to Shahid, Jason, Xiao Qian and Haikal for extending their help to me. Really appreciated your help. And to the rest who were there, thanks for your concerns and humour that made the journey a bit more easier to glide by. I should say this was the hardest job handed to me as an eng rep so far. Miss Lim..good luck in marking. Anyway, I bear no grudges against you surprisingly.
The collection of work ate into my CCA time. Compromised a bit. Anyway, I was walking when I came across some of my platoon mates who wanted me to help them in hanging the NCC banner, at the roof top of the school. The block where my class is.Yeah...that roof top. I wasn't thinking straight at that time and agreed to help them instead of forbidding them as a superior. My men's life was at stake. It was a cursory decision and mistake made by me. Mrs Annie Lim saw us. She wanted us to stopped it and so we did. She actually went to inform one of our teacher-in-charge, Miss Irene Lim. So of course we were chided. No feeling again. Simply didn't feel anything. But it shall remain as a reminder that I shall take care of the people under me next time round. Got whacked twice in a day. Too much? I don't know.
