Leng-Chai Professor: "You're Giving Me a Late Note?!?"



Summary of the Week



Monday:-

Morning: Volunteer in hospital
Noon: Meeting/Appointment
2pm: Meeting/Appointment
3pm: Meeting/Appointment
4.30-8pm: Volunteer in Disability Services
8.30pm: Flat on bed...



Tuesday:-

6.30am: Wake up to run through notes for 9am exam. Not bright-eyed OR bushy-tailed.
9-11.30am: Exam
1-2pm: Class

2pm: Lunch. Halfway through, a girl comes and says: :"You've been mugged!", and hands me a coupon for a free cup of coffee. Turns out, to encourage people to use reusable mugs, they randomly spot people using these cups and give them coupons for free coffee. It was my lucky day that day!

4-7pm: Lab

During lab:

TA of another section: "Ok, for your exams, just a hint: Remember this word" (and she underlines my book with a pen)
Me: *BIG gasp of air*
TA: "It's only one line!"

Two of my usual TA's came running over: "Daph, did she draw on your book?"

Me: "Y.e.s"
TA 1: "You don't know Daphne very well, do you?" (Turning to the culprit)
TA 2: "How dare you?!?! You n.e.v.e.r draw on Daphne's book. It's pristine. You never dirty that book. We all treat it with respect"
Culprit: "It was just one line!"
TA 1, 2, and Me: "No!" (It's a joke between the three of us I write like a computer font)

7-9pm class: Daphne was snoozing before class started...
Professor: *Poke poke* "Wakey! I'm here already!"
Daphne: Grunt...



Wednesday:-

5.30am: Wake up to revise notes for another exam.
8-9.30am: Exam
10am: Meeting/Appointment
1pm: Meeting/Appointment 40minutes away.

Appointment ran late. And I was late for class. But the first person was sweet. He wrote me a note.


6pm: Ran into class...an hour late...Dropped the leng-chai professor the note...

LCP: "You're giving me a late note?!?"

*Loud GUFFAW*

Me: "Yes"
LCP: "Nobody has ever given me a late note...EVER"
Me: "Yeah, but you have those surprise quizzes. If I was going to be late for it, I wanted you to know I had a reason"
LCP: "Ok, fair enough. But you're ok"
Me: "Can I have my exam paper back?"
LCP: "I haven't finished marking it. I'll give you a late note next week" *Winks*



Thursday:-

Whole morning: Parent-Child Mother Goose (PP-CMG) project. On the bus, I met the TA who drew on my book.

TA: *Looks at me sheepishly*
Me: "I...remember...you..."
TA: "Oh man. The other two gave me a lot of s*** after you left. I'm reallllly sorry!"

Noon: Class
4-6.30pm: Exam
7.30-10pm: Meeting/Appointment



Friday:-

6am: Wake up for puppet show.
7am: Ryan (coordinator) not only brought me muffins today, he also brought me coffee!
9.30am: Daphne's puppet cried more dramatically today.
11.30am, in car:

Ryan: "You know, B***** (puppet's name) cried a lot harder today. The kids loved it! You should repeat the drama every week. She should cry harder from now on"
Me: "Well, she was just mirroring my long week".
Ryan: "Can you cry hard even with a good week?"
Me: *Rolls eyes*



Saturday:-

8am: Wake up. I think I'll sleep another hour.
9.30am: Oh, maybe another hour.
Noon: Darn, I'm hungry. Had lunch, checked email, sat down to file my work and notes for the week, wipe my furniture, and then, hmmmm...Maybe I'll go to bed...
6.30pm: I really should get up...

Gail, my neighbour knocks on the door: "Daph, any plans tomorrow?"
Me: "Yeah, sleep!"



Muahaha...

That's one heck of a week daph!
I mean, even your puppet went more dramatic! :D

Anonymous said...

Daph you are real funny! And I agree with Akmal that is one heck of a week! I think it was very considerate of you to give your lcp a note. He should not laugh. It's respectful.

Dear Daphne,
Funny la you ni... but go ahead, do whatever your heart desires!

Salt N Turmeric said...

Raden Galoh said...

Muahahaa... Daph, You are hilarious...

Love as always, dear!

Becklee said...

You sure had a busy week!

nicol said...

bahaha we are the same about the pen thing! i hate it when people write in my notebooks or anything (hate is such a strong word i know.. but this is how strongly i feel about it!).. even with pencil, but especially with pen.. once in grade 8, some girl took my agenda and wrote her name on every page of it.. right in the middle of the page in blue pen and i almost had a spazz attack. even now, if someone writes on my stuff in pencil, i will go erase it after lol

Daphne Ling said...

Hi Akmal,

Heehee. Yeah lor, even my puppet lagi giler! Mirror image ma ;) Mestilah she mirror the boss' perangai of the week, a bit anyway...

Which is what I like about the puppets...Every puppet has a unique personality and background (we're briefed about them), but each puppeteer brings something different to the puppet.

So eventhough we're all playing the same character (different days ma), we're all different!

Daphne Ling said...

Hi Anon 20:15,

Thanks for coming by!

Oh well...I guess I'm 'unique' then, since nobody has ever given him a late note. ;)

But yeah, would have thought it was respectful too, instead of a joke!

Daphne Ling said...

Hello Aunty Ja,

Yeah! That's the best thing kan--keeping yourself happy! ;)


Hi Kak Farina,

La, you ni...But any excuse for a rest is very welcomed! I hear you...=)

Daphne Ling said...

Hi Danny,

Hmmm...Come to think of it, got also, leng-lui profs...I'm not in any of the classes, though, and no difference anyway...Most majors in Psyc are female!

All guys who want to ogle, can't do it from the class-seat cos you would need pre-req's for upper year classes!

Daphne Ling said...

Aiyo Kak Pi,

*Pengsan*

Ganas lar you! I can imagine myself saying that, actually, with a BIG roll of the eyes.

And if I wasn't caught by surprise that his reaction was like that (and he wasn't my prof), I would probably have said just that!

Daphne Ling said...

Hey NightWing,

Ohhh...My book...Haha...It's an OCD-reminiscent thing la...

And it's how I would treat anybody else's book too--with respect. Actually, you should treat people's stuff with respect!

I don't understand why people don't get that...

Re LCP, nope, no more notes for him. If have to be late, I'm just gonna stroll in...

Daphne Ling said...

Hi Aunty Dalilah,

Glad to make you laugh! *Hugs*


Hi Becklee,

Thanks for coming by, and yeah, had a busy week alrite!

Daphne Ling said...

Hi Nicol,

Oh-hoh! I knew it! OCD runs in families! Oh wait...We're not related by blood, hor? ;) Just kidding man...

You know, the agenda is even more personal...I would have had a spazz attack too, and probably never speak to the girl again (or at least for a long time)! Seriously...

If people cannot even respect something so personal, no use being friends. Because you allow them 'freedom' to do your agenda/journal, what next?

The boyfriend?!?
