Just Talk?
"WHERE's OUR HALF DAY??" This seems to be the question on many of the SAJC students' - and teachers' - mind nowadays. As it was understood, there was always an unwritten promise of a half-day for every gold medal that was received by Team SAJC. No one knows where this "promise" came from, or whether it was still valid; but the general belief was that gold equals to an early release for a day. No one knows if this was meant to be cumulative, or whether the school even had the liberty - and authority - to just grant half-days as and when they deem fit. (afterall, we have to consider the feelings of those student who absolutely believes in mugging all their life - if they even have one - and that taking a VAN to S11 food centers is the best way to settle their daily count of calories.)
But anyway, this "promise" had never caused much of a problem for the head (with bushy hair) of the school yet. Afterall, every year, SAJC hardly manages to get into many finals for the games. So every year, the students may continue to believe in the existence of the "promised land", without its actual existence being put into question in the first place. Each year, the students will have only themselves to blame for not winning and thus it was all their fault. The HEAD was kind and totally nice, she offered something, just that no one really wanted to claim it. No one could, rather.
This year, this "promise", which seems to have become much of an urban legend in SAJC, is being put to test. for the record, vball has already got the honours, cricket is almost a sure-win, and basketball (boys and gals) and soccer are in the finals. If everything turns out well, can we actually expect 3 days off? Or will the HEAD -now breaking in cold sweat due to stress and hot sweat due to badminton-in-the-air-con-hall - try to think of backdoors to the problem? Punters seem to be agreeing that she will. The following is a secret piece of information going around the student body: odds for the P's response.
1/1000 -> P:brain (no pun intended) will give 3 days off
1/500 -> p:brain will give a day off.
1/3 -> P:brain will act like nothing has happened and jus dismiss the urban legend.
1/3 -> p:brain will give half day off and say that it wasn't cumulative
1/2 -> P:brain will say that all the time students are released early to support matches counts towards the total.
1/1.0000000000000001 -> p:brain, being the P:brain, do not know whats happening at all and jus smile when she was told to do so at the morning assembly. erm- i mean p:brain got other pressing stuffs to attend to.
students are so confident of the result that they are throwing in their everything jus to win PEANUT -singular- and hopefully they dun have to share. Wat's your bet?
