6:53 for 4 laps...an improvement.

almost came in third. if not for terence.

should have blitzed earlier. a second behind him. ah well. won't make that mistake again.

hmmm....

today's geog lesson was an interesting experience for us to express our creative talent...by making nice plasticine models of a future singapore. quite fun i must admit, especially when people started bringing out the water.

our group, which happened to comprise of myself, paul, ben lee, wei shen, derwin and shanghai, started off well. relatively. we had a quarrel over what to do, until someone told them to keep quiet otherwise he'd throw plasticine in their faces.

so after that we made a presentation. i happened to be holding up our *masterpiece* and another was doing the talking.

"...here we have the economic sector, and here we have the..."

fine. the class was mildly interested. then:

"...and here we have the nukes..."

background sniggering.

"...and here we have the merlion!"

interested.

"...which is actually made of a HUNK OF C4."

stunned silence. for 3 seconds.

mrs lim: "a what?"
"a...err...highly explosive substance..."
"never mind...continue..."

at this point people had already been laughing madly for the past few seconds, including me. this was NOT prearranged.

the presentation continued.

"and this! (referring to a spire sticking up from somewhere in plasticine bishan) is PM lee's command center!"

outrageous uproar. leonard was doing one of his contagious hysterical laughs. as a matter of fact i very nearly dropped the model had it not been for a titanic effort not to actually think about what had been said...not very successfully.

upon which mrs lim promptly closed the session, the bell conveniently having gone off.

a fantasy writer in the making, indeed.
