My worst days--notice the 's'

YUP! I've been through it all! my worst days... though i predict another one coming soon.

well, the first one was on wednesday.
You see, there's this inter school impromtu competition.
ok, just to make it clear, i LOVE talking, but am totally talentless in talking in public. i can't! i mean... I really really CAN"T! Even if i prepare something, and MEMORIZE it, i'd still forget when i reach the front of the umm... ppl.
i don't mind talking in front of ppl i KNOW, but when i t comes to ppl i'm not so close with, i just freeze, and BLANK. like a white sheet of paper.

so anyway, i was sitting in class, innocent little me, minding my own buisness when our english teacher(let's not name names) for now, let's call her Ms. E(for English) came into class and said
' i want AT LEAST 3 ppl to join the impromtu competition.'
and i was thinking... well, not me! I mean, i wasn't going to sign myself up for it, and i'm sure someone else will, so lalala.. none of my buisness right? RIGHT?? but no...
Ladies and gentleman, here is where my luck starts to go downhill...
Right before she left the class, she says:' Li Ee, you're in.'

Can you believe that?? It was like someone slapped me or something. I sat in my place, in shock. i stared after her. Wait. i said to myself. Did i just hear what i THINK i heard? NO.... WAY....
Li Li, who was sitting beside me, was panicking too. As you can see, her name sounds almost like mine. I was hoping SOOOO hard that maybe teacher said Li Li's name but.
ok, so then, my class monitor, wrote my name down on THE LIST, and i screamed "NO!!!" in horror. I CAN"T POSSIBLY DO IMPROMTU! First thing's first, i like knowing EXACTLY what i'm talking about, which i believe isn't so in impromtu. Secondly, as i said earlier, i can't even present what i prepared a million years ago properly(yes, I'm exaggerating but bare with me) so how can i possibly present something i didn't prepare AT ALL?? PLUS! I NEED all of me to overcome the fear of speaking in public. HOW do you expect me to rack my brain at the SAME TIME to come up with crap to talk about???? HOW???

ok, then, my monitor cancelled my name from the list because i was screaming like a mad girl. What a relief! Let us all just heave out this breath we're currently holding. ah..... all is well. NOT!
Ms. E just has to come into class then, take the list and say:
"Who's name got cancelled?"
and of course, DUH, it was ME.
Ms. E: "Li Ee, i want you to join!"
Me(practically shaking): " I... can't! I'll... FREEZE!!!"
Ms. E: " I know you'll freeze. that's why i want you to join."
WHAT!??!?! I couldn't believe my ears! DID she just say that???? OH NO. NO... WAY....
I felt like i was in a dream. i NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!
Then, before she left, she said:" Li Li, i'm preparing you for oral interpretation.'
!!!!!! that lucky girl! O.I.??? I'd rather do O.I. a MILLION times than do impromtu ONCE!

I tried calling her(Ms. E) back, but she ignored me...

Then, i asked Li Li to pinch me, but i felt nothing.
So, myb it WAS a dream! right? RIGHT? no. wrong. coz in dreams, everthing is a little blurer. i mean the pictures. Li Li's just a bad pincher. hah.

After that, i asked Li Li to give me some words, but i was BLANK. absolutely BLANK. the whitest sheet of paper....
Well, i've got to think out of the box says Yingxu. I'll try. I'll try.
Xue Fen said i should just you know... not go. But! i know if i don't go, i'd get killed. So, basically, Do I have a choice here???? Answer: NO.

I think the competition is on Monday.
I'm DEAD.
save me...............

The second incident happened on Friday.
It was like this:
Li Li and I were practicing our oral presentation with the help of our 'director', Brian, who had left school last year to study in UK. Anyway, we practised(well, it was more of laughing) for about 1-2 hours when Li Li said she had to go to the library. She was going to come back again later. So, we(Brian and I) stayed in the classroom.

Just 10 seconds after Li Li left, a teacher, Mrs. D(for discipline) came and did her 'rondaan'.
It seems that we were in a restricted area. A classroom.
She came in, and started making assumptions.
First, she THOUGHT that we were a couple. WHAT?!?!??!!
THEN, she THOUGHT that Brian was going to rape me or something... double WHAT?!?!??!?!

She actually looked at me like i was this innocent little 5 year old who knows NOTHING about rape cases and knows NOTHING about protecting herself and said :" You could have been raped."

'...'

She looked at Brian like he was a really bad person, who like luring little girls up into classrooms to rape them... she actually said :" well, we don't know. He might be a bad person for all you know." right in front of us... WHAT?!??!?!

We tried explaining to her that we were doing NOTHING she thought we were doing, and were not GOING to do ANYTHING she thought we were going to do either, but she didn't want to hear it! How unreasonable! Then, she copied down our names and said she was going to give it to the discipline teacher. We'd have to explain ourselves to the discipline teacher.

I seriously thought i was dead meat. Well, i was.
I've never NEVER been accused of something like that before! Then, she asked us to LEAVE. so we did.
Immediately, i went to find for Li Li to confide in her or rather throw my anger and for the second time this week, shock somewhere.

After that, on the way home, in my sister's friend's dad's car, we were talking about it and her dad overheard. He's in the PIBG and said he knew who Mrs. D was. He told me he would talk to her for us. and he did! When we were at my house, my sis's friend called and.....We're off the hook now! THANK GOODNESS!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Brenda's dad. You're a lifesaver. THANK YOU!

p.s. I think it was basically Brian's hair that got us into trouble. It's SO long! He looks like a ganster really... maybe that's what the teacher thought...Maybe she thought this GUY here with the long hair was thrown out of school coz all Brian told her was : " I used to be in this school." Which! can be misleading...
