It was the last day of school yesterday, and Ching Yeng organised a potluck-style party cum birthday celebration for Jinq Sien (12 Oct) and Tsu Wern (28 Oct). Imagine our surprise when Ms Jaya told us her birthday was on the 24th!
Pn Hasnani was absent (giving birth very soon) and Mr Zainudin Dogi is fasting. Mr Kali had a meeting to attend, while Mr Leong was (if I'm not mistaken) out of the state also for some sort of meeting. (This was rather remarkable, as Mr Leong is virtually never absent from school).
It was really fun, and I think some of the highlights of the day were Phak Hoe's mother's lamb chops (cooked with red wine), which were reheated rather dramatically using an electric teppanyaki-style pan/grill...
...and the crazy Spicy Sushi game we played, in which the losers each round have to choose a piece of sushi at random and eat it, hoping it's not coated (on the underside) with wasabi!
When I woke up about 3 a.m. just now, it occurred to me that my Form Six class is probably the fourth closest group of friends I have, after the d'NAers, the V.I. Christian Union and my Standard Six class.
There is an air of togetherness and integration in L6BF -- even our desks are arranged in the form of a connected, somewhat circular, nucleus in the centre of the class, something I've never seen anywhere else before.
Actually, the idea for this arrangement was partly Mr Kali's, who wanted us seated in the manner of a university lecture hall (for that matter, everything about Mr Kali seems somehow connected with varsity).
Here's to Lower Six BF 2005, and soon-to-be Upper Six BF 2006!
