Regarding Ice Cream

Not an entirely uneventful day today. To celebrate the achievements of Team SAJC (all the sports CCA who competed) and Saints on Stage (Arts and Cultural Clubs who competed), the whole school was given free ice cream. As a side note, I’d like to make the observation, that the only teams that got silver and gold awards were girl teams. Not a single boys team clinched 2nd or 1st placing. THREE CHEERS FOR FEMINISM!!!

Anyway, there was a limited stock of ice cream, and with 1600+ students in SAJC, it was reasonable to assume that by 1200 noon, there would be little ice cream left, unless my classmates didn’t mind contenting themselves with blocks of dry ice (which, as it turned out, was out of stock by 12 anyway…) I collected orders, got the ice cream and left them in the Computer lab, because we didn’t have enough time to eat it and I had to keep them cold till we could. I made it very clear that there was to be ABSOLUTELY NO BLOODY EATING IN THE LAB. It was treading on thin ice, and the ice cream only remained in the air-conned lab thanks to the technician who was, as the Chinese say, “Open 1 eye, shut 1 eye”.

And somebody had to act cool and rebellious by making a big fuss about eating it in the lab anyway.

I wasn’t in the lab at that time, so I can’t confirm the 2nd hand accounts I got. But to whomever it may concern: seriously, that was really not too intelligent (I’m writing this in a nice, non-aggressive way, which is far from what I feel. But don't worry, I'll get over it). It pissed off the technician, who scolded whoever was in the lab, which made Mr. C join in as well. The technician demanded that the ice cream be sent outside, where he reportedly said something along the lines of “Eat it, or let it melt and throw it away”.

So guys and gals started to panic and started eating the ice cream before they (the ice cream) dissolved into a mess. Which meant a whole bunch of people was late for Miss T’s lesson, and I had to run all over the place looking for a place to keep the stupid ice creams.

One thing led to another, and anyone in 09S07 would know what ensued.

S07, seriously, if by any rare chance any one of you stumble on this, please know that I'm really sorry for triggering off the whole chain of events. Its not Whomever It May Concern's fault, and I don't want to sound like I'm blaming him/her. I made a decision (to collect the ice cream and store it in the Com Lab), and everyone paid for that. Really, sincerely, absolutely sorry guys and gals.


Thus, tomorrow, I have to do a list of things.

- Apologize to Miss T (I'm really sorry. I didn't forsee things turning out the way they did...)
- Apologize to Mr. C
- Apologize to Computer Lab technician
- Thank Miss L for her help (The class would have been so lost without your help. Thanks for taking charge when I didn't know how)
- Beat myself up for being a lousy Class Rep
- Give Whomever It May Concern long, hard and cold stares (because I don’t have enough street cred to lynch him/her)

Bloody ice creams…
