Speak English - fail

Well, the speak English at all times rule has officially been abolished in less than 6 hours of its enactment yesterday. I honestly thought it would have lasted a day but fortunately, the rule enforcers, i.e. the "parents" of the unit, were the ones who got fined the most. Lol!

The punishment for every non English word that slipped was 10 cents. In less than 3 hours, we had RM 2.00 in our allocated treasury - a piggy bank from Campbell's Mushroom Soup. Haha.

Even Chinese random expressive words weren't allowed, including Michelle's favourite "ta ma de" and my "walao eh" and Yeong Yeong "celaka dia". What they did though were some magnificent translating.

"Walao eh" became "my husband ah!" according to Yeong's definition because it was "wa lao eh". iPeng. Hahaha!

And Michelle had to take a phone and loudly proclaim "mother!" to get her point across.

Meanwhile, us siblings just stick together and spoke Mandarin behind both their backs! Haha!

But it all proved to be extremely stressful. Pit Yung and Sheau Jiuan even resorted to hiding in their rooms so that they won't speak so much! Lol! So the rule was abolished before Yi Hui even got back from her trip down to KL that morning. But we didn't tell her about the abolition though, so she was kept in English mode for another 3 hours before we finally exposed the lie. =P

Anyway, today Pit Yung and Yi Hui after a short trip down to first floor brought back with them one of mankind's most abominable and detestable creations - the human weighing machine. Each of us took a turn and after some shocking revelations as to the amount of kilos we had gained over the past year, almost everyone were shaken into diet modes. Except Sheau Jiuan who even after standing on the scale, kept munching on Munchy's mini chocolate cookies. But then again, she didn't know how to read the scale right! Haha!

So we went down to P3 for yet another evening of exercise. Yesterday all of us (except Sheau Jiuan) went down and had a sort of running competition to see who could run two rounds around the carpark in the shortest time.

I won btw! :D

In the female, non-slippers category. Haha!

It was 2 minutes and 33.01 seconds. I beat Yeong Yeong by 0.03 seconds because her time was 2.33.04! :D

That was until we invited Benjamin to join along and he won with a time of just slightly over 2 minutes. But he wasn't in my self created category so that was okay. :D

Tomorrow is orientation again so that means... no classes! =)
