Last five minutes of a lesson

This semester I am taking the argumentative writing. It is extremely similar with GP, just that it is more sian...

I realized I could only make full use of the last five minutes of the class time.. Practically the 85 minutes before that are just so sian... I was in screen saving mode most of the time-- doze off from time to time, answer some crappy questions to show the teacher that I was participating... But for the last five minutes, I would be fully awake, then I would start packing in a not very obvious way-- like arrange all my books and notebooks n stuff them in my bag, only leave my pencil on the table, showing that "Yo.. I am not packing up okie? You see, I am still ready to take notes!".. After packing up, I always started wrappng the scarf around my neck--haha it looks damn funny cos the temperature in the room is about 20C.. But the whole class was like started to dress up.. Then the faked Rooney in the class always finished his last half cup of coffee at about that time and he would always made the "slurp slurp" sound... wahahaha

This whole thing would take up about 2 minutes, for the last three minutes, I would try to make my stomach growl (usually it works cos 5:30 is definitely late enough for me to feel hungry) and soon you will see the chain reaction-- you can hear the stomach growl everywhere in the room... haha It is just the preface for dinner.. wahahaha

At the moment the teacher say "That's all for today", I would grab everything and run out... So do all my classmates-- staying in the Englsih classroom seems a torture to everyone.. tsk tsk

Now I understand how important a teacher can be... Last semester I was having this damn nice prof, everyone loves the English class and we always meet for extra sessions in coffee shops or in her office.. But this year... Yucks!!! The teacher is a lot worse than the RJ GP tutor..

Now I still remember how I passed the double GP session when I was in RJ-- it was always Thursday afternoon, Argh!! That whole thing was a nightmare-- when there was written assignment to be completed in class, it was not so bad.. BUT... When there was not.. AHHA.. Last time in RJ, there were not many things you need to wear, so there is no such thing as dressing up and undress..=_=||(sound wrong?!) I think I can still remember how we kill time in the double GP session..

The few guys would play chess--sometimes durian was listening to CD Player(Flying ASPARAGUS.. Spring.. muhahaha)
The rest of the guys were sleeping.. hmm day dreaming seems a better word...
The gals reading non-sense bimbotic magazines, giggling and gossipping..

There was one period of time when all the CO members were making full use of the double GP.. We were trying damn bloody hard to teach durian the stupid "beats".. It was erm.. an interesting experience.. We taught until we all dunno how to play liao, the Mr Durian still cannot get it.. >_< Hmm actually I was thinking one reason that supported me through the extremely boring double GP session was the CO practice after that. I always told myself, it is just 40 minutes to CO practice.. 20 minutes.. 10 minutes.. Maybe CO was the only thing that made my double GPnot so sian..

hehe, I think that's too much about the last five minutes.. If my parents read it, they will for sure worry for my studies.. Erm.. heh... No lah.. It's just argumentative writing.. I was like a robot during EECS lol.. (Yuck, still sounds wrong!!)

I am crazy for this guy now.. Argh!!!

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
