"Racheal Lee Jia Ling! My Office NOW!"

oh crud! I never knew being smart was a sin, well now I know.

"Hello Mrs Lim, surely my full name wasnt neccessary especially the chinese part.think about the energy you save on saying my name as just racheal as compared to my full name"
Well not that i dont like my chinese name, but these days who uses your chinese name?

"Don't try to be smart with me young lady" Mrs Lim snapped as she pushes her spectacles back in place. Her hands glide across a tiny note with some words written on it, surely it can't be Mrs Durns handwriting although i have to say i cant help but notice it is her's .

"It seems to me that whatever you have mentioned to Mrs Durns has made her very unhappy to teach for a period of time "

I swear i didnt say anything mean to her, surely she made a mistake . i couldn't have possibly mentioned her hair stlye is the worst i have seen in this century (last nightmare i got was a bee hive hair do) or her voice is a strain to all the students in the class. i am sure i wasnt so tactless to do so.

"Mrs Lim i am sure you must have made a mistake, Mrs Durns has been such a kind teacher to us . i wouldnt bear to do any harm to her"
besides the fact that her assignments are absolute waste of time and it doesnt require much brain cells. i mean i am not in a position to say even though i topped her class but seriously i am sure i wasnt so rude , my senses should be intacted.

"Ms Lee, let me remind you although you are one of our best students I will not allow your recalcitrant behaviour in this school"

recalcitrant? now i have to say that is ridiculous word usage on me. i believe i behaved in what you like to call polite . i started looking around as Mrs Lim continued her blabbling on my attitude.
Now that i am in the head of department's office , she is a rather neat lady with her books neatly packed . well i can't say she is a lover of fine arts with van gogh work hanging at the back of her seat and books on theatre studies, but in comparison she is one lady who doesnt seem like a fan of the arts. imagine this, a old lady at least in her fifties with greying hair all tied neatly in a bun and a pair of spectacles that couldnt decide to stand on the bridge of her nose or to just drop of to the ground . which part of her seems like a Boris Messerer ?

"Ms Lee are you listening to me? I want you to go back and tell Mrs Durns that teaching doesnt cause any harm to her future baby. Do you get me?"

Why of course! now it all makes sense, oh mrs durns couldnt believe that silly statement i made?
all i commented was that teaching could be a potiental harm to her young fetus as we ( the noisy bratty ones)could carry bad karma for her child. Every mum is into pre natal learning and imagine what this young cell in her womb would be getting when brats like us influence a great deal of its mother's life?(we are brats to a certain extend don't we? at least i did my homework)

Mrs Durns being the oh-dear-me kind of lady actually believed that teaching students in the gifted stream could be fatal to her child's development? surely my class has more sense than to cause the reduction of her child's IQ.

well i said that because she was about to start on julius casear and i highly doubt i would like her version of explanation. everyone knows the smart man is anthony and honour is nothing but a silly excuse brutus is deluding to save himself from a crime he stupidly fell for.

so to prevent any unwanted statement made about anthony i just had to do something.
i needed to save my agony as well as anthony , so i just questioned Mrs Durns on her safety of her baby she is carrying and if teaching could be helpful to her child. I just randomly thought of a statement and i never expect that shocked expression was for real instead of just acting . i mean as a normal human we know how benefical teaching can be to one's being as sharing the knowledge could actually prove to be a self inspiring duty . teaching could bring about a sense of satisfaction that could improve the mother's motivation to bring up her child in the best way she can.






ok.. story stops.. i am tired. .continue later

Now sitting outside the class doesn't seem very glamorous to me, the voice of my physics teacher in the class was faint from outside here. i dont see the point in students in my class taking all the sciences, especially physics shouldnt we have some democracy in class? let us choose what we want to study instead of insisting and nagging to us with the line" You students have potiential and to find that potiential you have to study the different subjects to find your best potiential"

if we had potiential give us any subject and we could had scored so where is the significance?i seriously doubt making us do so many subjects is making full use of our brains powers, you just needed us to boost your school ranking so that we will create a higher point average. just as i was doodling on my notebook , the chairs in class started to screech announcing the end of physics class. Physics teacher walked out and glared at me and stuck her nose in the air and walked off, some how i just wish the law of physics would work on her since she is relatively tall and her body shape is rather improportional.. meaning her center of gravity is lower hence it would be a nice show to see her trip over or she needs a little push to tip the CG off.

"racheal!" i jumped at the sound as the bimbo walk out of the next door class.
"hi racheal! you seem to like this place don't you?" giggles
"uh huh. it is kinda nice after all the teachers are useless thing don't you think so? surely a girl like you can study on your own as well . besides the view here is great , perfect view of you combing your hair or falling asleep in class, so i deduced you are pretty smart yourself."

"oh. of course with my looks i have to have some brains to go with it" Flick hair "dont you agree? that was A maths class Mr low was teaching on intergration and i dont get why others dont understand? A maths is so easy just reduce an additional power of X if you are intergrating it and add a power to X if u are differentiating it . What so hard?"

Wrong Wrong Wrong it is the other way around.

there were slight giggles when bimbo michelle said that out like as if she was albert einstein discovering E=MC2

"right. michelle you are the smartest no wonder you sleep so much."

"of course a smart person never had to use her brains so much "

right i am sure on that one and as she spoke Mr low walked past. so i decided maybe bimbo needed a wake up call.

"Mr low! hi! well i need to ask you a question on A maths" well i did get a relatively weird look from Mr low since i never asked him anything before.

"sure racheal, what is it ?"

"i was doing intergration and i just need to ask if i were to intergrate X what happens to it ? cause i was informed that it will be X to the power of 0"

" now surely miss Lee you could have known it is X to the power of 2 don't you?"

" erm . Right ! just asking !"

just at the moment , michelle's face turned red with embarrassment or it could be anger towards me but we can't tell when she is this red.

"well hi michelle, by the way i would like to see you in the A maths class awake next week? let me know if you need to ask any questions too " Mr Low gave a sincere smile and walked off towards the staff room.

so i was rather mean to embarrass her in such a manner but considering the fact that we all are students and we all are here to learn( or revise ) we shouldn't be giving out any form of help to people as we (her) could potientially be giving out wrong statements.

" now you if could excuseeee me , i have a meeting to attend to " she said in a hurry and walked slowly like nothing has happened into the toilet.

"more like she's off to fix that pimple popping out when she flushed that hard just now." a student from the back commented and the class burst out in laughter. well if i had an IQ level of her's and having such a high MQ(Maintenance Quotient) i could have just acted like i was dumb or focus on fulfilling my dream as a Miss singapore.

" i think it has to be world peace cause if there were no peace imagine all the ladies going to army in the tasteless uniform too"
and the crowd gasped and claps at her brilliant statement. she smiles at the crowd showing them her pearlie white maintained teeth and her flawless complexion .
"thank you thank you!"

i should seriously reconsider my future and be a beauty queen since the general crowd just simply love them anyway
"WOO! GO MISS PERU! YOU ARE THE ONE"
and miss peru smiles and the crowd cheers again . there all you need to do is try to take 1 week to memorise the given script on what to say in that 2 minutes and spent 90% of your remaining time smiliing and making sure you are eating celery not potatoes.

I shook my head to dispel my bimbo moments and woke up to an environment with students burying their head in their textbooks or writting in their notebook . this is my life isn't it ? that's about how much i can do now , just study. God i wish i was grown up now! not that i am keen on handling all the bills by myself, praying the economics shares would fall due to the bomb blast or working till i wrinkle up like a prune to my grave.

surely life has more to it then just living it!
