Not exactly a frequently asked questions...

I first and foremost want to thank everyone whom told me that my last post on my blog is very funny.
When I heard those people say to me that my blog is very funny, I feel really happy, as I was trying to make that post as funny as possible so that people would laugh and find it amusing. So, their reflection on the post gave me a great encouragement.

Thanks everyone!!

Anyway, before we dive back into Frequently Asked Questions (part 2), I thought I would post another maybe not so humorous post, but it would help me chronicle the progress of events that leads to me being called a 14-year old even though I'm 16...

It all started, in January this year. It was sec1 orientation, and anyway, I tend to communicate with the sec1s the most among the SCs. It has been a sort of thing that I've been doing since my first sec1 orientation where I was the leaders...

So anyway, I was talking to a bunch of them. Actually, I was FORCING them to talk. This is because:
  1. Their mouth is glued together most of the time
  2. Most likely by UHU super glue
  3. It cannot be other super glue as UHU is still a bit weak, or they won't be able to move their mouths in the first place
So, we were talking about something when one of them asked this rather redundant and rhetorical question:
"Are you in Sec 2???"
WHAT?!

Reality Check: I am now 16, ok, my birthday isn't over yet but that's quite another matter. But if I am in sec 2, I would be 14, that would be about 1.5 years below my current age....

Of course you could expect its a bit diao la....
But it isn't over yet...

Not soon after, I thought I would try to maintain communications with 1D class just like I did with 1J class two years back. Last year, I had no mood as lets see, my class people took over that class, so I a bit heck care...
Anyway, my communications with 1D during the orientation was not as good as the PSL (peer support leaders?!) whom basically stayed with them all these while, but I believe was better than most of the other SCs whom took them. This SCs include Anna, Jason and Joanna...

Anyway, after visiting them for about 1 week and also getting all their e-mail thanks to the very cooperative chairperson. All of them has given me a nickname: PBOCSC, which is supposed to mean:
Paper Bottle Open Close Student C
ouncillor

Paper Bottle is sort of like a translation of sound followed by a direct translation of my name. Open Close is because of the lame game that I played with them during the orientation that they most remembered me by. The last part is rather self-explanatory, don't you think?

Soon after, during the macritchie reservoir run, I went to visit 1D since I am not running thanks to scouts. Hey, I'm happy about it ok!! Anyway, the 1D people went chrowding up to me and it wasn't long after when somebody posed the unexplainable redundant and rhetorical question that forces people to cringe:
"Are you in sec 2??"
Which you can expect, led me to.............................(can someone find a word for me??)

And it turned out that after such a long amount of time they still think that I am a sec 2!!
By that time, most people in 1D knows that I am not a sec 2 but at least they found a new joke for me and reinvented the nickname, which has now become: 14 year old-PBOCSC...

And if it is only the sec1's who do that, I won't exactly be posting about it here...
One day during the March Holidays, we were scheduled to have an English remedial with our dedicated and responsible English teacher, Mr Faizad. As we were waiting in the canteen, one of the home-econs teacher whom used to teach me back when I was in sec 2 walked up to the group of us waiting in the canteen and asked us what were we doing here. She proceeded to ask me about sec 2 life....
"SEC 2 LIFE?!"
Which I forgotten how I responded, but it goes to show how absent-minded some teachers are...
I mean, come on, you taught me before and you say that I am in sec 2?!

And this isn't the last one...
I added another one during the last week of term 2. We were teaching cheers to the school (in which I was slacking like... don't know what. The point is I was slacking) Anyway, I was off searching for Charlene as she was sheduled to do something. Than I gave up and was on my way back to the hall when I met this SC. She was in Sec 2. I remember it clearly as I remembered seeing her only in my third year as Student Councillor...

Anyway, she was asking me whether or not she can go back to class. I responded that I don't have the power to tell her that. She then said senior sc, even if they are not EXCO have power. I reponded with the fact that Sec4s with green rings are just normal SCs with green rings...
And then she seemed to be shock by me talking about sec4s and posed the rather interesting and also redundant and rhetorical question:
"Aren't you in Sec 3??"

I give up...
Of course she would ask whether or not I am in sec 3 as she saw me when she was in sec 1. So apparently in Sec1 she also thought I am in Sec 2.

Hey, Hey. I am not saying that this is a bad thing. Doesn't it feels great to be young!
Its great to be young, it's just that you feel a bit shocked when people say you are like about 1-2 years younger than your actual age. Otherwise, its a great thing.

Thumbs up to all people whom look younger than their actual age.
