Total Defence
Lucky i had insider source about what was going to happen yesterday, so i bought a pack of fried been hoon, complete with fried chicken and otah to school, so i didn't go hungry and needn't have to endure the yucky porridge and sweet potatoes everyone was trying hard to consume. I sat in the canteen observing everyone and especially the look on their face when the first spoonful of porridge enters their mouth. "Yucks," their expressions told me. Later i heard from the canteen aunties that they had to throw away lots of porridge and sweet potatoes and tapocia because not much people were buying them. So much for total defence. Those "precious food" in time of war was completely wasted.

I pity those who had PE on that day. How they are going to survive for the whole day with insufficent energy is questionable. Besides, there are many like me who had lessons until 4+ in the afternoon. Some of my classmates even had ccas until 8pm. How they survived, i had no idea.

I did not really experience the water shortage, as i once again has insider tip off and i seldom use the toilet. I heard there were actually pails (its actually all the rubbish bins) filled with water placed in the toilet. Nobody used them. If i were there i would have used it to wash my feet. In the end, those water were poured away. So much for water shortage. Its more like water wastage.

The blackout is the most fun part. Our beloved physic teacher, Mr Lim had a very special way to due with the power outage. He totally ignored the announcement to turn off the lights and instead carried on with out SPA. When some female teacher came and told him to turn off the light, he opened his palm and show it to that teacher. A universely recongized symbol of "Talk to my hand" (as in Terminator 3 movie) and also "wait". The female teacher had no choice but to leave. For us students, we felt entertained.

On the whole, i feel these are very lacking in realism, and has created some sense of irony between shortage and wastage during this exercise and a real situation, i still feel that AJC has done well in initialising such an activity. At the very least, it provides a much needed break from the daily routine of looking a muggers(i don't mug, but they are all around me), something which is school is unashamely reknown for.

Learning is fun
Almost every single educator preaches the fact that learning is fun. If learning is fun, then teachers should at least entertain or amuse us abit. So why are students sleeping in lectures a common sight? Hm.. I have no idea...

PE
Today after PE, chris from 0805 dropped the key to the lockers where all our valuables were locked in while he was walking on the field. This started a 1hour long hunt where students from 0205 and 0805 combed the school field looking for the key, but to no avail. The PE teacher kept telling us there is no spare key. However, when it is almost time for the next lesson, he asked us to give up the search, produced a spare key and unlocked the locker.

In the process, many grass were uprooted, while many girls zhao geng. I left when the girls joined in the search so i couldn't see anything interesting. I trained my standing board jump and managed to move my fat body for 229cm in a single jump.
