A Productive Day Of 06S71

//A Productive Day Of 06S71//

Weixin asked me to post a blog entry entitled "A Productive Day" today. So..why not?

It was a nice and sunny day. The beautiful day started with a productive 2 hours, from 8.15 to 10.15 in the school hall as 06S71 sweats it out in our final paper for Block test 1. I remembered when Mrs Foo asked us to check if we have the correct number of pages for our scripts, I was excited to reach the last page, where I can have a quick glimpse of the essay questions. My heart sank when I saw the topics tested for essay. And I vividly remembered someone from S70 saying "F*ck" (or shit, or something to that effect) very loudly. Ha, I was kind of comforted for that split second, I wouldn't be the only one who would die in essay.

So after the productive 2 hours of stimulation of our brains, we spend the next 1.5 hours from 10.30 to 12.00, productively stoning, and deciding what movies to watch and where to go.

Oh, and by we, I mean xinyi, pauline, cheryl, everlyn, me, mitchell, wilson, edmund, zeqi, weixin and gary.

After we finally decided, we made our way to Cineleisure, and we all look like its our first time in Orchard. First of all, when we reach the bus stop we are supposed to alight, most of them were so engrossed in their productive conversations that we almost forgot to alight. At the road junction, we upheld the 71 tradition of lagging by not crossing the road when the green man is on.

Inside Cineleisure, we all did pretty 'smart' stuff. First, we took an escalator down to the basement, where we can buy tickets, only to realise that the ticket counter is close. So too bad, we have to go to level 5 to buy our tickets. Logically, we would take the lift to level, instead of using the escalator, right? So we did that, and we were so smart that we took that lift take serves from B3 to level 1. So effectively, we took escalator down to B1, and took a lift back up to L1. So when we finally got to L5 with the correct lift, we were all relieved (it rhymes!)

So after buying the tickets for the movie "Music and Lyrics", we went back to B1 for lunch at Kobayashi. Things went pretty smoothly from then on, no wrong lifts, nothing. We were even on time for the movie *gasp*. This was a historical moment for 06S71, as we were hardly on time for lectures and tutorials.

Movie was pretty funny in parts, but the most funny part was when the movie suddenly just shuts off, and we were left staring at the blank screen. So we waited, and waited, and stoned in the true spirit of 06S71. After around 15-20 minutes of waiting time, the movie came back on! So back to watching! Or so we thought. It blanked out 10 minutes later.

So Cathay decided to give us all a complimentary free ticket, and to quote the person "You are allowed to watch ANY movie, ANY time, ANY day". So zai right? Then she added "But it only lasts for two weeks." So I guess any time any day is not so unlimited afterall.

Then came our favourite activity. If stoning and lagging at the class bench was not enough, we decided to just stand right in the middle of L5 of Cineleisure to lag and talk productively. Apparently, we all prefer to stand and lag, rather than sit and lag, as can be seen in this example, and our previous record, where we stand beside the tree outside Curry Wok to talk and waste time away for around 1-2 hours. This time round however, we only lasted for about half an hour.

Sadly, Zeqi and Edmund didn't get to enjoy this favourite 71 activity of ours, as edmund gotta leave for piano lesson and zeqi have to leave for tennis.

So as smart people, we took a lift down L1, and we continued our productive stand-lag exercise there, while blocking the main exit and entrance. The girls finally decided to take neoprint after a further stoning of 15 minutes. And off we went. So while waiting for the girls to finish taking their neoprints, the guys spent our time productively talking crap inside the neoprint shop.

1 hour elapse. Ok, maybe I'm exaggarating, but they sure took long to take those neoprints.

Then after this, we decided to take the lift down to L1. As we entered the lift, we saw 4 RI/RJ guys. So we're all sardined packed in the lift. And down it went. When the door opened, we realised we were already at B1. That's what happens when there are too many smart people in the lift, we all assumed others will press the buttons, when in fact we all didn't.

So it's ok, we took the escalator back up to L1, only to realise it's raining. So we went back down again.

So from around 4pm to 6pm, we productively spent our time together by stoning, and erm, 'fumerating' and 'alpha-ketogluterating' each other. Of course we didn't forget to 'malate' and 'succinyl-CoA' each other.

So there it was. What a productive day.

I think I deserve a "A" for this narrative essay.
