 * 25th November** - "Great!" Was the first word and sentence of the very first MHPS smartphone tester who is a student. P4 student Kih Bofy Wan in Primary 4D1.22, was given the privelege of testing the Ultra-smartphone to be released to the school next year. It boasts many new features not found in normal touch-screen smartphones nowadays, and will be made available for loan. Bofy Wan said: "Wow, I never knew...awesome!" He started moving his finger across the screen rapidly, hovering around the buttons and quickly entering in digits. Later, it was discovered he hacked into the school firewall system, or at least attempted to, so that he could play electronic games, which is banned within the school premises. He had a goofy grin on his face as the Headmaster scolded him and made him stand on his head for five hours, from 1pm to 6.01pm. After his 'ridicule' and 'terrible mistreatment' as Bofy Wan puts it, he drank five large mugs of cool water and ate three plates of food straight. "I couldn't eat or drink anything while upside-down, remember?" he tells the reporter. "First time, I tried drinking water but it just dribbled out of my mouth and nose and into my eyes. The Headmaster passed by, thought I was crying and 'repentant'. He told me, "Okay, I think you've realized your mistake, I'll reduce your punishment duration by 10 hours then!" I was quite relieved; even though 5 is nothing compared to 15, it still is 5 hours."

WHEN the students were interviewed both denied doing anything. "I really did not touch anything! I was just walking back to the Science Lab to get my worksheet I accidentally left there when there was a huge 'KABOOM' and there was broken glass all around me! The liquids already vaporized in to thin air." The first student lamented. The second said, "Me too! I was helping my teacher get a Dummy Gatling Gun from the Heavy Science Labs when all of a sudden I heard a 'creak' and the giant Newton ball just rolled off!" Both 'swear' they are telling the truth', and investigations are still ongoing.
 * 22nd November** - A student meets with a chemical accident in Science Lab 2; around the same time, another student accidentally causes a huge explosion in the Heavy Science Lab. The first accident was caused by mixing mercury and a bottle of unknown chemical which had no label on it. The second, more serious and damaging, was caused when the giant metal pendulum in the Heavy Science Room used to reconstruct the Giant Newton's cradle on ground level was released from its lock position and started rolling towards a decontamination chamber, causing a section of decontaminating radioactive plutonite to explode. Thankfully the giant metal ball absorbed most of the shock, causing only a large black dent in the floor and many mild vibrations throughout nearby areas and floors in the school. Nobody was hurt in both situations. Repair works are taking place.

Other incidents said to have caused the decision by the authorities of the MHPS to announce such a grave notice include the behaviour of parents at buffet meals provided free-of-charge by the school. Said spokesperson for the BoD (Board of Directors), Dr. Bor Duhm, "We have complaints by teachers that parents appear at talks, showcases in so many numbers, just so that they may enjoy the free buffet meals. I really do hope this is not the case, as if it is it would be ridiculously childish and stingy behaviour the parents are exhibiting. It is not like they are pennyless!" In the end, Mr. Calvin B. Joseph came up to the podium to speak, and the entire school fell into silence: " I am sad to say that, and with quite a lot of evidence, the members of MHPS, or some of them, meaning the parents, are so money-minded in the sense that they will go for the free things provided. It is the same as with the VP's Book Sale: the parents are missing the point! I sincerely hope that they realize the true purpose of some things, and not only that, they should make changes for the better to set an examplar for their children."
 * 20th November** - The Board of Directors, together with Mong Hua Primary School's Head and Vice Principal(s), have announced that the parents 'have to be more selfless' and behave 'like role models to their children'. This came after several complaint letters written to the school from various annoyed people: neighbouring residents, passers-by and even teachers! The content of the complaint letters are not fully known, but it is said that one incident that caused the announcement to be made is that which occured between 6-10 November, during the selling of Sir Alexander's first book titled 'Tough Truths'. Many parents did turn up, but one of them interviewed revealed that word had spread amongst the parents that the cover of the book was really good as it was a kind of special felt. Other interviews confirmed this fact: parents did not buy the book as it was captivating on the inside, but on the outside only. 'This really does come as a disappointment, you know. To think that all that is nice about my book is the cover..." Vice Principal Sir Alexander said to the school in the afternoon at a special assembly, with the parents assembled at the back.

After all the touring, talks, and showcases by students, all the parents entered the Multi-Purpose hall to feast on the sumptuous buffet lunch provided free by the school. Parents could even receive special goodie bags and discount vouchers if they answered questions raised by the emcee during lunch. All prizes were claimed.

 * 6 November** - The Vice Principal, Sir Alexander, has released his latest book (and only book so far) titled 'Tough Truths', which talks about his real problems in dealing and managing the Mong Hua Primary School. His book has caused quite a lot of fanfare, with over 2000 parents, teachers and students rushing to the Multi-Purpose Hall to grab a copy, which is limited edition. Said one parent who wanted to be known only as Mr. Dooba: "Wow! I am thoroughly amazed by this masterpiece! I heard it is a classic, and it really does live up to its name!" When asked what was so great about the book, he replied: "The cover page, of course! Why else do you think everyone is trying to buy the book? Just look! The felt cover is just out of this world!" He says, running his fingers across the cover of the thick book.
