WEILEE(:

As it was drizzling when we were supposed to have our 2.4km run, we (1BELLANCA and another Senior High class), together with our lab counters, had to wait in the school hall for the rain to stop. Apparently the drizzle didnt stop so the teacher said that if it didnt stop, the run would be postponed but she would train us by making us run round the school. I was hoping the run would stop. I just wanted to get it done over with. FORTUNATELY, the drizzle eventually stopped. Melanie and i, as usual, ran together. We were slower than our usual trainings. We took about 59secs for the 1st round. If i didnt hear wrongly. As we were running our 3rd or 4th round, Fanghua (our class' super fast SPRINTER) sprinted past and Melanie and i couldnt help but laugh. He was 1 round ahead of us. Darn fast. At the 5th round, i broke up with Melanie because she sped and i didnt have the stamina to. I remained at my speed. I'm a constant runner, all rights. My number tag was very loose and i kept pulling it up. Uh irritating. And i turned out to be the 33rd among 5C34 (I think) and 1B. That's so slow. Gosh gosh gosh. Darn it.

After school, Bridget and i went to PS for lunch, to shop for her tights (for EDS) and to conduct our RS Survey. Both of us had a crave for pizzas so we went to pizzahut. (Gotta save money for the rest of this week!) She insisted that i wait for her to drink her soup before i could. Darn it. After that, we went to start our survey. We got rejected so many times but at the same times, there were many kind souls who were willing to just spend at most 2 mins helping us with the survey. There was this Caucasian couple and it went like this :
Weilee: Excuse me, do you mind sparing us some time and help us complete this survey?
The guy: Uhh... how long will it take?
Weilee: Not that long. Perhaps 1-2mins?
His wife: Oh all right, let's help them.
Weilee: Thank you! :D
The guy: (To his wife) You do it. *Walks away*
Weilee: *Muttering to myself*
His wife: What is it about?
The guy: *Walks back*
Weilee: It's about tigers. Actually we're a group of Dunman High School students and this is part of our project. We have to research about tigers and find out what people know about them.
His wife: *Smiles while doing*
The guy: Where is Charles and Keith, by the way?
Weilee: (To Bridget) Go to G200 (which was just behind us) and ask them. *Waiting for them to complete*
Bridget: *Reluctant*
*Comes back* Oh it's downstairs.
The guy: Oh thank you! *Becomes more friendly*
SURVEY DONE.
Weilee: Thank you for your time. :)
It was really funny. Bridget kept complaining about how i asked her to go and ask for directions.
Later while i was sorting out the surveys, Bridget spotted two potential guys. Hhahahaa so while i sort out, she went herself.
Bridget: Hi, can you please help us complete this survey?
The guys: Oh are we paid?
Bridget: *Stunned, speechless* Uhh...no.
The guys: Oh but we're starving.
Bridget: Uhhh...okay thank you anyway. *Walks away*
Hahahhaa once again, she was commenting about the people that we've come across that day. She said, "Why is it me? Why is it that i come across people who ask money for surveys, who laughs during survey?" Hahhahaha! She seemed really depressed. Oh that cant be helped. We were so exhausted then...after hours of walking about at PS.
Oh yes and before i forget, there was this really funny uncle. Judging by his appearance, he's about 50++years old? Yeah and when marking his age (Either 13-20 years old OR 21 years and above), he moved his pen over to the 13-20 range. I was totally shocked! I wanted to laugh out loud but i couldnt as i was in my school uniform. Firstly, it's rude to that man. Secondly it'll spoil our school's reputation. Later it turned out that he was gonna strike off that. Gosh how stupid i felt then! Throughout the survey i was trying to laugh but had to supress my laughter. It was a horrible experience.
My conclusion is: Conducing survey isnt an easy thing. The next time when someone approaches me to do a survey, i'll do it with ALL MY HEART!
Darh!
