Now... I'm in the mood of writing about my friend, Sim Jin Yi (you'll be popular with this, Sim!) So, this thing is not an essay that tells you how great he is, what a good friend he is, how popular he is and so on.... It's about his misfortune in his own class, as you've guessed, 2 Music....
So, he is a Chinese boy with very slanted eyes and chubby cheeks... He has a rather small figure and a nice smile which reminds you of a begging dog... His hair is like when you get an electric shock, you'll get that hair style... Well.... Here's a photo of our dearest friend....
Well... I give the credit of the picture to Sim himself... I get this from his profile in Facebook...
So, his misfortune is... He is being large scale bullied by his own friends, Alvin (and the Chipmunks), Khoon Han Liang and Lai Yee Neng....
He's the black sheep of our class, or as the Malays said "Kambing Hitam".... He always be blamed for EVERY problems, things and so on in our class... Like this :
Teacher : Who had lost the class' bucket?
Everyone : SIM!!!
Or like this :
Teacher : What will influence the rate of death in a country?
Everyone : SIM!!!
Or this :
Teacher : What is the main problem here?
Everyone : SIM!!
So, practically, he is blamed for everything and anything... Nothing in particular... And even in the Choir Club there's a scene like this :
Teacher : Who left his/her food here?
Lai : SIM!!
But the situation now is, Sim doesn't even enter the Choir Club...
So, he's really unfortunate, isn't he?
Well... Sometimes, he also get physically bullied and literary bullied.... Some example of the first are just like the classics which is involving punching, kicking and so on... While the later is various...
They (Alvin, Han Liang and Yee Neng) always said Sim loves somebody, anybody or everybody...
Examples :
Case 1
Time : In the middle of free period
Place : In the middle of the class (their seats)
Victim : Sim and Farhana
Culprit : Yee Neng and Han Liang
YN & HL: SIM LOVES FARHANA!!! *at the top of their voices*
Sim : ....
Case 2
Time : Anytime
Place : Same as above
Victim : Me and Sim
Culprit : Alvin and Han Liang
*me passing by their seat*
A & HL : SIM LOVES TSANIYA!!!! *at the top of their voices*
Sim : ...
Me : Say that again and I'll kick your asses!!
Well.... At the latter case, I didn't (kick asses) and just ignore them... But once, I really kicked Han Liang's ass...
And another literary bullying is.... How I'll phrase it... They made a song for him... Especially for him... And it goes the song :
Babi Sim! Babi Sim! Babi Sim! Babi Sim!
You can see it if you want to, but you'll be surprised by the lyrics... They always sing it in the class and in the music room with the teacher in front of them... I know it's rude but sometimes, you can't resist joining them... The melody is easy coz there's no rythm, no melody and it's only a phrase that you will bang the gendang and just play the C chord and no 3 (in gamelan) while singing the song... So, I think you can pretty much imagine how it goes and how Sim's face turns red out of anger and embrassment...
Well... I think that is all I have to write about him.... Blame Sim about this article....
Actually, I want to write this post a little earlier, but due to my laziness, it's postponed.... In fact, it has been a week before and you finally know how severe my laziness is...
So, the day is a veeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy lllooooooooooong day and we actually survived through those things.....
We (I and my sis) came to school a bit late (blame our fussy mom), but thank goodness, the buses hadn't arrived yet... So we waited while the senpais (seniors) took our attendance.... Another relieve was that I didn't get the same bus as my sis, she can't disturb me that day (YES!).... It's a long journey to KL (about 2 hours) yet, none of us (Lily, Lawrence, Swathy, Sakura, Me, Jing Ting, Jing Wen, Cherlyn, Jaya, Rathi, Pavi and Padminee) slept through the journey... We just make ourselves at class(?) by making noises (FYI : we're the noisiest there, as expected)...
We sang, listen to musics, read magazines (thanks Swathy), chatted, eat, even Rathi dance in the bus!!! and etc etc etc etc... In short, we just managed to do almost anything in the bus... We never sat still and just kept quiet.... Well, I think that's not our nature you know... And so... The bus stopped at the Seremban rest stop and we went to the convenient store to buy snacks, drinks and the trivial stuffs we needed.... Rathi and Lily even bought cup noodles! Well, that's a pretty good idea coz it was raining and the day was very cold....
After the 20 minutes rest (including chatting with friends from different bus and etc etc), we continue our journey (and being the noisiest in the bus)... I managed to take some pics (own collection, no one have it!!)....
Lily finishing her cup noodle...
Rathi finishing her cup noodle...
Well, it seemed that everyone was busy eating their noodles and did not notice me capturing them.... *wink*
It's a bit blurry but I think it's a good shot... Coz it shows here that Lawrence was sitting with Jing Ting in the bus and it's the clearest picture on Earth (they didn't notice me).... Woooohooooo....!! (Wei Wen and Mabel, don't be jealous...)
And this is Sakura-chan... (We were shooting each other)
Rathi and Jaya... Rathi was dancing her heart out that time and it's a bit blurry... While Jaya was sleeping peacefull, undisturbed by Rathi...
Well.... After a while, we arrived at KL and our first stop was the ICOM (International College of Music).... And we were greeted by a tribute performance for U2 done by the students there and I tell you, it was really terrific!! They played the instruments really well and the lightning effects were damn great!! After that, we get a brief intoduction of the college and bla bla bla whatever she was saying in front, I confessed, I didn't understand a single thing....
The next one was more enjoyable, it's a talk about proffesion in the music industry... We were introduced to the "backstage" by a lecturer there named Dinesh (or so what I'd heard).... He's really funny and sporting (or so what the people said)... He just layan all of us, even the one that was keeping menyampuk with weird comments (who knows who is the culprit)... I really do listened hard to him and discovered that he's much more enjoyable that the previous one (whose name I have forgotten)....
We also built paper constructions (as Lily called it) out of boredom...
1st paper construction, I called it "The Pyramid"...
2nd paper construction, I called it "The Miring Tower of ICOM"
3rd paper construction, I called it "The Unknown Building Which Doesn't Look Pretty Stable"...
My favorite is the 3rd one... It's so weird and looked dangerously dangerous...
After all the speeces, we were given a tour around the college.... We were given a free luch after that,(a good one)... Many didn't want to eat... Mr Ronald said, "Kids these days favours more junk foods than the healthy food,"... Well, I agree to him, even Sakura-chan hates vegetables (there's one time when I forced vegetables to her, but that's a different story)... So, we ate happily (when thinking that we can save our money to buy comics)...
We continue our journey to our next destination, Berjaya Times Square. FYI, it's a large mall with many shops and the shops that I and Sa-chan (Sakura) entered was only Borders (a book shop), Tropicana Life (which I never heard of, I was dragged there by Sa-chan, who wanted to buy a new wallet) and an unknown store where Sa-chan looked for choices of wallets... So, practically, we just see the books (Sa-chan bought 8 Malay comics there in the total of RM54) and wandering around to find Tropicana Life which was damn hard to find (it's hidden behind the shops and was lurking in a dark corner) and the unknown shop is just a shop that we passed by when were searching for Tropicana Life...
After a long walk in the Times Square (It's a really long walk, we used the elevators only when we wanted to go up and we ran on the escalators when we went down coz it's fun) ... We waited for our bus to go to our final destination in KL, which is the Suria KLCC which is situated under the Petronas Twin Tower... Here's a picture (thanks Athmas)...
Night view... (We actually arrived in the evening, but no one have the picture, if one does, I am to lazy to search for it)
So, Mr Ronald gave us a brief talk about when we must be at the crime scene (not that it's a crime scene, it's the entrance part of the Philharmonic Hall), fully dressed with our formal clothes and how the bus B had broken down (thank god it's not my bus, but they (the passenger in bus B) get pleasant surprise in the end).... We scampered about, I and Sa-chan went to change our clothes (it's a nuisance cos we hang our clothes on a hanger)... After that, we get into the elevators and we walked (we really do walked, in Times Square we wore sneakers, but here, Sa-chan was wearing a high heels and I was wearing a pumps) to Kinokuniya Bookstore... Sa-chan (again) bought 6 Malay comics (total = RM39) and I bought I Japanese comic magazine... We went to KFC for dinner and perform the prayer in the surau of the same floor...
Then, we hurried up the "crime scene" and found out that almost everyone had gathered there... We took photos in our formal outfits... The song that the MPO was playing is the Piano Concerto No.1 in B flat Minor Op.23 and Symphony No.4 in F Minor Op.36 by Tchaikovsky... It was really great, the solo pianist, Alice Sara Ott, is really terrific, awesome, amazing etc etc.... The conductor, Eiji Oue, is very talented... I was stunned...After the performance, we took a few pics... Here's Athmas' stash (I didn't took any and I think you know the reason)
It's actually almost time to go back, but I am lazy to arrange it according the time... You can see here that our class is really hectic although it is only some of them coming....
Us, again...
Random picture of Athmas and an unknown person (to me)...
Chong and Athmas... They looked smart in their suits...
The solo pianist, Alice Sara Ott, in the middle...
Gary, eating greedily...
Perasan picture of Athmas and someone's car...
The same car, with different poser but same perasaness...
Us and Mr Yap (the super cool Math teacher)...
Girls in Black plus one playboy dude... (Athmas do looked like a playboy anyway)
So with all that photographing sessions, our trip ends... The passengers of bus B get a new bus (which is better that the first one) and bus A and bus C were late, we waited for the buses for half and hour.. We slept at the bus and arrived in Melaka at 2 a.m. At last, home again....Not to mention, at the MPO, Cherlyn slept while the 2nd movement of the piece was played... She woke up after the audience clapped and she just clapped along still blurry coz she didn't know what's going on....
I decided to create a series based on the things that happened at school today, particularly on my class, 2 Music.... This class is really noisy, I always believed that it is the noisiest class in the history of 2 M....
Today is not my day.... Blame everything on (my self-help) holiday yesterday (and cold).... There's so many homeworks to do (which I haven't done when writing this entry).... Sakura said she was going crazy when I wasn't in.... Actually, I think I am going crazy myself...
Today everybody (as usual) is blaming Sim again (I will tell the story tomorrow)...
And also, the 2 M-ers are called by the dentist today (including me)... Some are undergoing a filling and some are just cleanig.... Kow Jiun Hong tooth is being filled by the nurse and us, the audience (me, Shume, Si Ying, Han Ling etc etc), shuddered with horror.... It looked really painful (which actually is)... The nurse even used a laser on the tooth.... Poor Jiun Hong just can sometimes twitch with pain....
There's not much event happening on the other periods, on BI nilam, a few of us stayed in the class (ponteng!!) including me coz I haven't finished my math yet, which Mr Yap wants today... Lawrence, Athmas and Akaasyh are playing at the back of the class.... Akaasyh is running around like some crazy people and Lawrence, irresponsibly, put his leg on Akaasyh way and how he tripped.... Normal people just tripped and landed flat on their face but not for Akaasyh.... He fly in the mid air horizontally and landed horizantally too.... His hip must be hurt very much....
On BI time, there's so many loyar buruk going on in the class.... We are studiying literature, about a novel titled Potato People which is really lame and boring... It can put people to sleep in 3 seconds... The class is not that attentive and they just throwing lame jokes around...
First case :
Phay and Vicknes
When Mr Gan said about Marie being a black, egyptian girl, Phay said that it is just like Jayamalar, our indian friend, Mr Gan said to Phay "So, you think you're so fair ah?"
Then Vicky snaps, "His private part very fair one...."
Sakura a sudden surge of energy "Vicky, you have seen Phay's one ah?"
And then, everbody laughed........
Secong case:
Akaasyh and Lawrence
When Mr Gan mentioned that Marie is a liar, Akaasyh said "It's just like Lawrence" (or so I think)
Lawrence snaps and said " F U"
Mr Gan, with lightning speed, rotan Lawrence, then come out excuses from his big mouth...
The class starts clapping....
Mr Gan said, "If only F, I can forgive, but when you said F U, it became a different meaning"
The clapping died down, only Sakura is clapping, according to the tempo earlier....
And Mr Gan threatened Lawrence that he will report it to Mr Wong shiny head discipline teacher
And the class starts clapping again....
This is a really crazy class, so, whatever you read here is 100% true, although you almost can't believe your eyes, but believe it anyway, you are not blind, are you? Even I, the person who go on through all the silliness can survives and still believe my eyes, why can't you?
