MiLoh BSGSSB Adventures

Chapter 2:A New School

Dear Diary
Hi,i'm Tetra. You probably haven't heard of me,so i'm gonna introduce myself. My mom told me that if people in school ask me who my dad is,i have to tell them his name's MiLoh. Funny name,isn't it? Apparently it's this nickname he got once he started working at Bandset Girls'. No wonder he insisted on this school as my Secondary School.
It's quite a nice school. The place is really really big,and all the teachers are so weird and funny. My new friends are great too. I don't have to be as formal with them as with Uncle SBF.(SBF stands for Stony Bff)
Uncle SBF is Dad's best friend. His daughter is my best friend,Roxanne Ong. Her name's Roxanne but we all call her Rocky. She's super cool,and the best friend you could ever have.
Roxanne's mom passed away from cancer,sadly,when she was like,three. Uncle SBF still can't get over it,but i must say he's taking it quite well. Dad said he was devastated,but channelled that sadness into taking care of Rocky. Now that's what i would call touching.

Anyway,so Mom told me that i would see some of my 'relatives' around. She's super right. I had no idea the Band Gang Aunties worked here! They're not really my aunts,they were Dad's super good students,so now they're my favourite aunts. They're all so funny and totally the best!!!

Aunty Xuan is one of the canteen vendors. She makes the best fish porridge ever,and Rocky is a huge fan of it,because she's like,the only Sec One with braces. She nearly always drags me to go buy porridge,so i decided it was really delicious.
So it was recess and as usual,Rocky dragged me to Aunty Xuan's stall. She was rocking back and forth in a chair,reading a Chinese Mythology book she had nicked from the library. Rocky's eyes lit up,because she's also a major fan of Chinese Mythology.
"Cool! Is that 'Journey to the West'?!"she exclaimed,leaning over. Aunty Xuan got such a shock,she nearly fell over. "Oh my!! If it isn't my loyal customer Mini Xuan!"she chuckled,putting the book down. "And would you like the usual today? I've got some fresh fish Diya sent over from the market." Rocky nodded excitedly and Aunty Xuan got to work. "So how's the studies going on,eh? Any subjects you find particularly interesting?"she said,stirring some white porridge in her pot and adding some seasoning stuff. I nodded. "I sorta like Literature and Physics,"i said. "What a funny combination! But i'm glad you have favourite subjects. What about you Rocky?" "Obviously Chinese!"she laughed. "And i kinda like Literature too."

Aunty Yokie came to stand behind us. She's the most adorable teacher ever. Although she doesn't teach us for Maths,i heard she's an amazing Maths teacher. "Hi Xuan! Can i have steamed chicken porridge please? No need to rush,"she said in her high-pitched voice. "Sure! Once this fish porridge is done i'm right onto it."called Aunty Xuan,not looking up from the pot. "And how was lessons this morning?" Aunty Yokie sighed and stretched. "Ohh,terrible. Loads of students 'forgot' their homework. Again." Rocky giggled. "I can see why,"she whispered,and we both laughed. Almost everyone hated Maths. "Eeh,i wouldn't laugh if i was you,Tetra,"said Aunty Yokie,leaning forward to look at me. "I mean,Maths isn't that bad. I do hope you aren't giving your teacher trouble."

"Ah,rebellious Tetra and Rocky,what can you say,Yokie?"laughed Aunty Xuan,ladling the porridge into a bowl and placing a spoon. "Their Maths teacher's MiLoh,remember? Careful now,it's hot." She gave me my bowl of fish porridge and we headed off,leaving them to chat.

"Can you believe the Band Gang Aunties are working here? Feels weird when you see your own aunt teaching,eh?"said Rocky,slurping the porridge. "Ooh,it's piping hot." "I guess,"i said. "I mean,i'm sorta used to seeing Dad teach. It's really funny though,he stutters a lot."

"And who's talking bad about my sexy little MiLoh packet now??"said a voice,and grabbed Rocky by the shoulders. Before i could think,i grabbed my water bottle and whacked the person real hard on the head. "Tetra,calm down man!! It's just Papa!!!"said Rocky,laughing her head off. I gasped when i realised the person i had hit was Uncle SBF. He rubbed his head with a pained expression. "Wow Tetra-owch,"he gasped. "You...you have a strong arm. What's MiLoh been teaching you,taekwondo?" "I'm really sorry Uncle SBF!!!"i apologised profusely,as Rocky laughed and laughed until her face turned red. "Ooohh,that was waaay too rich i tell you,waay too rich!!!"she guffawed. Uncle SBF narrowed his eyes at her. "I wouldn't laugh so loudly if i were you,you insolent little git,"he said. Aunty Yokie happened to see,and walked over and placed her bowl of porridge on the table.

"Some nasty lump you're gonna get there,Stony Bff,"she pouted this cute little pout,pointing at his head. "Oh,Xuan saw you getting whammed on the head by the way,she says 'good job Tetra'." I glanced over to Aunty Xuan's stall and could hear her laughing like a maniac.

After recess it was Physics,and Dad came in. He sweats so much his shirt turns a darker colour and that's really disgusting. It happens all the time at home,and he won't change into a new shirt until Mom threatens to hit him with a broom.

"Ok take out your Physics homework. Has anyone forgotten to do it?"he asked,sighing because he knew there would be some people who didn't do it. There always are. The same few people raised their hands and Dad let them off with a warning,and told them he might book them the next time they forgot. He then went on to continue the chapter on gravitational potential energy. Rocky and i knew everything,because Aunty Yokie was not only good at Maths,she was good at every subject under the sun. We decided to spend that lesson making fun of Dad instead.

After school,Rocky and i raced to the studio. We had an audition for Band,and i really wanted to get in because i'd be able to see Mom,and the Band Gang Aunties were from there as well. They aren't called the Band Gang Aunties for nothing!!
I almost died from laughing when i saw Aunty Diya there. She's the Band conductor,and a jolly good one like their conductor,Ms Siew or something. She was observing a Sec One with a trombone closely. "Yeah...she's got potential..."she muttered to the senior. "She's good enough. Write her name and class down!" The teacher-in-charge,Ms Lim,escorted us to Aunty Diya. She beamed at us.
"You're a clarinet player eh? Let's see what you got." I tried my best to play really awesome,although my sound was kinda shaky and i was always running out of breath. "Take a deeper breath before you play...that's it. And do you have to adjust your reed or something?"she asked,pointing to the instrument. I didn't know exactly how to do that so she told me i was good enough and turned to Rocky.
Rocky couldn't do the funny buzzing thing that Brass players do,and certainly couldn't do for Woodwinds either,but her arm strength was incredibly strong,and she could master drumming quite well,so that's where she was put:Percussion!!

Aunty Diya told both of us we were in the Band,and i knew straight away marvellous things were going to happen.

Excited Tetra!!😆😆😆
