Schoolchewren ‘Too Lan’ Over Flood Timing
Schoolchildren nationwide have expressed annoyance and dismay at the timing of the recent flooding.
“Na beh!” said Bukit Gorblok Secondary Three student Chin Ah Suay. “Why now only then flood? When we all taking our fricking exam that time, weather all swee-swee! Instead, now got holiday, wah, suddenly rain until got flood! At least wait a few more weeks when we kena go back to school, lah!”
“I also say!” said Sino-English School Sec. 4 student Chao Mah Ger. “With the flooding, they might have postponed some of my papers and I would have had extra time to mug and do one more round of extra ten year series. Other countries got snow days, how come Singapore cannot have a flood day? Ministry of Education is damn chao kuan!”
However, not all students were so upset.
Said Waffles Junior College student Wee Ee Leet, “Such reactions are typical of the usual wretched, undermotivated, overassuming students we have here. Of course, we elite students couldn’t care less. Regardless of weather conditions, we’ll always be high and dry. We will naturally do well in our exams, and even if we don’t, we’ll be sent overseas and come back and still take over the country. Nothing can rain on our parade, not even a monsoon.”
The Ministry of Education has issued a statement saying that “the downpour is good for students. The water is causing a lot of streams, and we continue to believe that streaming still has some benefit.”
In related news, some Singaporeans have called the flooding “our very own Katrina”. But not everyone has taken to this.
“Katrina?” said Mr. Kenny Nair of Bukit Gorblok Street 19. “That’s not what I’d name this flood. I’d also start with ‘ka’ and end with ‘na’, but I’d definitely be saying something else about this weather.”
