Squawking Parrot
“…So, the light ray bends away from the normal because the speed slows down in a denser medium.”
“YES!”
“To calculate refractive index, take sini divide by sinr…”
“YES!”
“There’re also different ways to calculate refractive index – ”
“YES!”
“Incident ray and refractive – ”
“YES!”
“1 + 1 = 2″
“YES!”
“Are you a walrus?”
“YES!”
There’s a yapping parrot in Physics tuition class, not to mention he attends the A math one too.
He sits behind me, so his “YES”es are like squawks of a parrot just echoing behind me. He yells, “YES” to every inane thing the teacher says, to show off his astounding IQ? To smugly declare that his eternal intelligence is beyond possible levels of the rest of us? To show that he knows how to pronounce “YES”? To signify that that Yes, he has just pooped in his pants? It’s a mystery.
Good lord, nodding your head in understanding or saying “Yes” occasionally is understandable, but “YES!” at every. darn. sentence?!
I was ready to tear my eyeballs out.
Once, his “YES”es got to Lizard too, so she turned around.
“Yeah, great accomplishment, Benedict*.”
[*Name replaced with the gayest name I could think of. Sorry to the nice Benedicts reading my blog.]
He faltered a little bit, but wasted no time in building up his lifetime supply of “YES”es again.
Lo and behold, the horror that dawned on me when I saw his face when I entered the Physics tuition room. I thought only the suffering was in A math, now we have to face yet another 1.5 hours of “YES” torture.
Okay, maybe I’m overreacting.
I won’t want to murder him or dig his brains out, but I’d still like to shut his never-closed mouth up.
I like tuition class though, because all the people there are different and funny, TK kids all have similar looks and personalities, so interacting with bengs and different types of metrosexuals [I'd only met 1 type before coming to tuition: Spikey hair, square NIKE bag and walking like a penguin] is refreshing. I like them all except for that squawking parrot guy.
Gonna eat a sandwich now. My mum’s making me diet with her, so oatmeal for dinner tonight baby. Mmm mm.

Terence Foo! Haha, hi!
Hahaha I do not think I am similar to kids in TK. I mean, I talk about taboo subjects to girls in school, decided to take Literature as a subject and am probably the only male of the whole level that actually like(s/ed) the subject and not to mention am compelled to always type proper and complete run-on and at times grammatically incorrect sentences……so yeah cool-beans.
