TIOMAN PROSE I

 

A short comical piece of exposition inspired by the Secondary Three GEP Multiple Intelligences Trip to Pulau Tioman in Malaysia in March 2003. The students spent four days and three nights studying the various ecosystems first hand.

THE MOST COMICAL CHARACTER ON THE TRIP

 

The most comical character on the Tioman trip was ... me!

I was definitely the most comical - or most annoying, depending on whether or not you appreciated my antics. I was being myself the whole time, right from the time I stepped into the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.

First, I managed to almost leave my luggage at the terminal. This brought hoots of laughter from the class.

Then, during the sea journey to Tioman, I was bouncing all over the boat, while people all around me succumbed to seasickness.

I must have annoyed some with my jibes targetting those that were sick, but surely my boundless enthusiasm and energy must have amused others.

In Tioman, I was always stared directly into the camera whenever it was pointed at me. This generated 'classic' comic photos, which captured my reflexes and wit. This was evident during the slideshow in school after the trip, when my 'endeavours' were revealed.

You might say that Lap Him's pranks at night were more comical than my behaviour, but I disagree. His pranks were only funny to 'Him' and those of his group.

They were certainly entertaining to a degree, but not widely noted. Those who fell victim to his jokes obviously saw no fun in it, and the rest were oblivious to the numerous acts of sabotage.

Because of all these reasons, it is clear that I was the most comical character on the trip!

Besides, the fact that I am writing this about myself shows that I am comical!
