Key interesting quotes....
"Ok, heres the situation, and i'm being upset and serious this time.
It was 6:30 when i woke up late for school, and rushed all the way down on a cab with Jiahan like i always do, but this time, i forgot about my water bottle which i bring daily to school.
* at 7:25am i reached the school gate for assembly as usual.
* at 8:00am i was really starting to get thirsty due to morning sun's radiation which evaporates water out of my skin and dehydrates me.
* at 8:40am i rushed to the canteen to get a bottle of plain water, nothing else.
* at 8:42am I was told off that i can't buy water without permission, Even if its PLAIN WATER.
* at 8:45am i reached back to class, which all the teachers are never on time, which proves that I have no intention of skipping class. ever.
* 8:55am Mdm Raknam, gets into class and got straight into mock exam paper, i didn't ask for permission since shes always a NO to everything such as toilet trips, moreover shes fierce to everyone.
* 9:40 i'm beginning to feel a little giddy and can't concentrate well and really desperate for water, and so i hoped that the next teacher would allow me to buy a drink from canteen and hand to me a permission pass.
* 9:50 VP(Vice-principle) and Ms Lee HL enters the classroom, i asked Ms Lee for permission to buy a bottle of plain water, instead, she tells me repeatedly to drink at the water fountain.
ok i could had drank from the water fountain, but why not?
Worst water cooler/fountain ever.
Firstly, its outside the washroom, and its boy's washroom, all the clowns would wash their dirty hands and spit there, I have witnessed that a lot of times.
Me: Ms Lee, i very thirsty, can gimme permisson go canteen buy plain water?
Ms Lee: No, i thought i just saw you going to the canteen? Go to the water cooler/fountain.
Me: water cooler people wash hand and spit there you want me to drink there? just now i go canteen uncle don't let me buy , he say need permission pass.
Ms Lee: either you go water cooler or go ask Mr Singh(VP)
ok, that was seriously screwed up, why the heck can't i buy a drink? Its just plain water, and i need a horrible permission pass, Even if i spill in the classroom it'll only clean it right? It has a PH level of 7.0 and its neither acidic or alkalic.
Secondly, why won't i drink from the water fountain is simply because, Theres low maintenance to it, the water taste weird as consumers say.
And like i said people do wash their hands after heading to the washroom there.
Ok, so i approached the VP, The Vice-principle, who was teaching math too. Denied my request.
Me: Mr Singh, can gimme permission go buy plain water from the canteen.
VP: Ask Ms Lee your teacher.
(For a moment, didn't he stood somewhere beside me when i was having that conversation with Ms Lee?)
Me: Just asked already, she say drink from water cooler, its damn dirty, i refuse to drink from there, i just want to buy plain water.
VP: Only 1 period left to recess time, sit down and study, 50mins and you'll get to buy drink.
It was a hot morning with no rain, and i didn't had any drink the whole morning, due to rushing.
In order to maximize my studying ability i had to make sure everything was right.
Such as, Essence of Chicken.( photo taken days/weeks ago during breaktime)
Essence of Chicken
New moon number1 fan?
Vitagen to maintain a healthy system in my body.
Yakulk
Exercise to maintain a good staminal and get rid of water-retention and in take more water to "flush out system"
And water, was not freaking/$#^%$^$ allowed to be bought!
I want answers from my school. MOE. or any spokesman.
Water not allowed even when i rushed down to buy when the teacher themselves are late, my intention was to only buy plain water, so why can't i buy, i needed a drink, i was dehydrating, moreover i'm overweight.
i have a mass of 125kg, traveling up 36flights of stairs of around 4meters is even more tiring for me.
I just want clean, drinkable water, not dirty water fountains/cooler water!
and i'm honest, i'm not joking, look at my survey answer from the school's lab.
The school couldn't even allow basic human needs, such as water. and with dehydration, it might lead to heat stroke which is a critical medical condition especially to big boned people like me.
It will just be a 4mins walk over and back, But oh well, no means no.
I want an answer.
Blogger Yongwei, requested for plain water, however was endorsed repeatedly even by the Vice-principal.
Are schools being too strict, and more over inhumanely?"
WTF! LOL... Can't imagine students these days are so bold lah! LOL... Anyway, looks like he's a real rich kid... LOL... take cab to school....drink mineral water.... and drink essence of chicken everyday..... but seriously i tink something's wrong with his character leh.... -_-" .... Juz bear till recess bah? or school ends?
