no brains

roar.

ok i realised my blog is... hmm. famous isn't the word. It doesnt receive alot of hits everyday so it isn't famous. Well, people whom i don't know are viewing it periodically. Once in a while perhaps when they're bored. I don't know how in the world they link here but they come by.
tag when you come la :p

Then yesterday during ME class , Mrs Kang (if you can recall, she's my lousy J1 GP teacher whom i complained about before), suddenly said 'alan you are a blogger right?'
I cautiously nodded my head. How the hell. I think it was probably in some past lesson i spoke up for blogging that's why.
I certainly hope she doesnt read my blog. Well, don't think she has the time. And even if she did.. well she IS lousy and needs to change. That's what everyone taught by her knows but can't do anything about because she holds some power in the staff board and a petition or anything won't work.



anyway, today's PE was spastic.
We were late for PE because Teehao(noob) misread an sms and thought PE was in the hall, when it was actually his volleyball training that was in the hall. Then he's PE Rep so he told everyone to go to the hall when we should have been at the track.
Then by the time we cleared up the miscommunication, we were 20 minutes late for PE.

And the oh-so-wonderful and brilliant Mr Chua mY PE Teacher made us sit in the sun for.. just about the whole PE.

HOW CONSTRUCTIVE.

hello, Physical Education is called that for a purpose. And sitting in the sun is.. tanning. That's.. Tai-Tai Education. At least run some rounds around the track or .. pushups or something. SOMETHING that trains yourself!!

Ok i know some of you are probably cursing me in your head or something or thinking i'm crazy why would i want 'extra' punishment.. but
Firstly, i like to exercise and exercising is a good way to lose weight so there. We only have 2 hours of PE every week, and assuming we don't exercise on our own.. so wasting a lesson by doing that is stupid and unhealthy.
Secondly, it's not as if we deliberately went late, or we were sloppy. A simple case of miscommunication. And for that you screw whatever you have planned for the lesson and get the class to sit down for the whole period? It's not even a SERIOUS mistake, like we completely pon PE.
It's like the McDonalds staff gives you chilli instead of ketchup and the manager punishes the fella by making him hold chilli packets in his hand for one hour.

Lastly, what kind of lousy noob punishment is sitting down in the sun? That's the kinda punishment you give to primary school kids who have too much free time. Time is precious - if you don't want to let us exercise then let us go off man. noob.

I think the strongest argument is the second one, i mean, it's not even our fault. It's not even an INTENTIONAL mistake. (ok after re-reading i think intentional is an oxymoron, there's no such thing as an intentional mistake anyway. what the heck just emphasize my point.)
Just a little grace and understanding would have let any teacher just scold the students for 5 minutes then continue with games or some PE programme. But i guess my teacher had none of that and had to resort to his illogical punishment.

Oh well.
