banana and cashew

I have recently changed my Add Maths tuition (no, my recent stellar performance in it had no influence whatsoever in this change) to the one with Madam Chuan(?, correct me if I'm wrong). With the expanding number of tuition mates (private tutoring with Miss Yeoh consists of only me and Farah), tuition just got even more interesting.

There's about almost ten students in that small, crowded classroom and only three students were not from Seafield. I wasn't really familiar with all of them but hey,I have seen them around school except for this one guy; Joshua. Dude is funny as hell. Our first encounter was when Xiao Hui told him my Add Maths marks and he was all like 'whooaaaa' and kept asking me all these questions. I tried to answer them and nonchalantly as possible but it was hard not to laugh. I put a ginormous amount of effort to suppress my laughter.

So, last Thursday (the hype still has yet to die down now that all of us has already received our marks), the teacher was like 'How much y'all get?' and stuff and surprisingly, one guy failed. It was pretty surprising because as far as I know he's pretty smart. Joshua, however passed! The lot of them were quite surprised by his success. Never mind that. Let's skip to the fun part.

Xiao Hui told Joshua about the guy who failed (Joshua was late so he didn't know then) and Joshua was teasing the poor fellow. After he got bored, he went ahead and ask Tuen Tjun "You got banana or cashew?" OhhhhmyGoddddd, really? Tuen Tjun had a wtf face on and answered "Banana. Of course la." Joshua then asked "You know or not what is banana?" Cue another of course la.

They got on and on until Joshua said that he has a banana tree and he can give some to Tuen Tjun for him to lick and suck or what ever it was the he suggested. I couldn't really remember because I was trying really, really HAAAAAAAARD to not to burst out laughing on the floor. That was when the teacher has had enough.

She went all "Joshua, stop. You think I don't know what you're talking about, ah? No dirty jokes in my class."

I guess that was the last straw. After that, we all just resumed with our workload. Or is it? Well, that's as far as I can recall.

Have I mentioned that the barristas at Starbucks are meant to make your knees buckle? Oh well, now I did. They're soooooooo cute! Ohh, I love an empty Starbucks and when they have Liyana Fizi on the speakers, it just had me falling in love with it all over again.

hush , the dead are dreaming .

Ignore the title, I am not going to go all morbid here but it is somewhat related to what I feel like saying. Dreaming. No It's not dreaming at- the- night dreaming, it's what do you dream of doing.

Today. during English, the teacher asked us what are our dreams. I could feign ignorance in front of 38 other students, but honestly, I was wondering. Am I that aimless? I have no idea what to be when I grow up but then something hit me. When did dreams have to be ambitions? I realized that I have one ultimate dream; finding all the flavours of Hershey's Kisses and find the perfect one for myself. As for now, I nominate the Cherry Cordial Chocolate Kisses as my favourite :D

The trainee teacher thought that my dream was cute. I find that telling to the whole wide world rather embarrassing (my mind have a mind of its own). My dream was to go around the world collecting Kisses? People must have that I was crazy. Thank God, I did not say out loud the #1 thing to do on my 'What Happens When I Gained RM40 million' list. It would have been weirder and I shall not mention #1 either here.

Oh to hell with what people think. What are dreams if they were not fantastical, right? I mean if I dreamt of traveling the whole world (which I totally do at times, but I don't have a clear vision how or where), my dreams would have been the same as another ten students in my class (no offence, Nina). It would not have been fun that way. Besides, how many citizens of Earth dreams of traveling the world? Probably billions.

Am I going to be just another girl in a billion of other people? Ehh, sorry, mate but no. I am going to be that one person with the one dream. Anyways, enough about dreams, I shall now step back into reality.

Us students got our test papers back and it was a little off- balance for yours truly. If I succeed, I scored amazingly but when I don't, I practically failed (okay, no, that was an exaggeration). I hope those damned marks balance out and I get to top my class. It has been reaaaalllyyyyyy long since I placed first (it's not that important, really. How you fare in the tests are way more important) and I'd like to be first once in a while. What's the harm in dreaming, right?

Okaaaaay, can't seem to go off topic with the dreaming thing. Whatever. AH! I have discovered that you do not need weed to get high (some say you NEED MGMT but Iman and I prove people wrong). All you need is an amazing friend and random things (like dinosaurs on the Wudo board or galaxies on the Bomba board).

It's true! And it's pretty hard to get off the high moment where you laugh for Godknowswhat reason and everything just left your mind. Whatever it is, it is a happy time, an epic moment and I wonder if anyone out there ever felt like I did.
