interesting
Saturday, August 30, 2008
I didn't know something so...dramatic can happen in my life. Haha.
Today afternoon Marcus left for Vancouver, so as expected I went to send him off. I arrived at the airport pretty early, and so waited abit while he had lunch with his class guys. After that he had to meet someone, so I followed him and waited near the shops. Unfortunately, the wait was far too long. Of course I sensed something was wrong, but by the time I decided to search for him, his mother told me that he had already entered the departure hall.
So, after travelling across the country, not a single 'goodbye'.
Initially I was a little disappointed, but it turned out to be fine shortly after. In fact, it's pretty interesting. How often would such things happen? Even Marcus thinks it's cool. And so we said our goodbyes over MSN while he's waiting for his flight to Vancouver in Taipei.
Really interesting.
Well..realised from their conversion that hz hasn't changed one bit. He probably wouldn't be called chz if he did. haha. That's besides the point...
I guess Patrick's accompaniment in the afternoon helped me feel better too. Another great guy. And I discovered a new hideout in Changi Airport, thanks to him...
And I realised there's something unique about Changi Airport. It is the only airport in the world, I believe, where students go to mug their asses off. (I'm one of them) So maybe Singapore should be called mugger-pore, and Changi Airport mugger-port. LoL. More on education in the next week.
Well, I guess the many setbacks that life puts you through only serve to make you a stronger and a better person. I know Wally would disagree, but there's no point in giving your children the best in everything, for they will not face any setbacks and will subsequently grow up as pampered and spoilt adults.
Everything is relative. The best will only appear to be so when there exists the average and the poor.
It is the imperfection of life that makes life beautiful.

Prelims aren't over; I am supposed to be mugging econs right now.
To hell with that for a moment. There's something which is bothering me now...and here is my only place to say it.
I guess like everyone, I am fully aware of how mundane studying, or rather preparing for exams, is. Especially when you are in this kind of school...
I came across some message from someone I know and admire which says that it is a wise decision to leave the school. And I must say it's true. For my kind of weird character I'm not sure if I will be happier elsewhere, but I'm definitely not happy here. I guess it's only fair to say that only my ex-class can make me happy....ah wells.
You see, the reason why I stayed on is no longer a valid one. And it struck me that the decisions that I make, especially major ones, are mostly for others rather than myself. And probably that's the reason why I'm unhappy now. It's time to live my life for myself already.
But what do I actually want?
I always preferred the arts and humanities to the sciences, but I guess I fare better in the latter. And I guess it's for practical reasons that I'm in science stream now. At this point, there are so many things I want to do. Study in a liberal arts college in US, or hotel management somewhere.
I really wonder if I will achieve these...
And yes, he will be leaving in less than a week's time. For a much longer period this time round. The thought of having to be very much alone again puts me off. The feeling of...wanting but being not able to find someone to talk to truthfully really sucks.
That's exactly how I am feeling now.

Break from prelims
Friday, August 22, 2008
Well...it's a short break from prelims, and I'm here to clear up this dusty place.
I seriously overslept today, means the time for me to type a well-thought entry about the IP system is gone...
A little about the exams. GP and econs were fine, but chem...I am starting to doubt the rationale of the chemistry department of the school. About half of the questions are fine, but the rest aren't straightforward, unlike those questions from other schools' prelim papers. Which make me question, our foundation isn't very strong at the first place, why continue killing us with such out-of-the-blue kind of questions? No, don't think that the school prepares us for that. What they teach and what they test are quite different. And I don't think the paper is very well set...To me, questions with ambiguity should be avoided during exams. And yet they keep resurfacing during the school's chemistry papers.
Probably that's the trend of A level papers. But looking at the trend of other school's prelims, I guess not.
And now, I'm starting to fear for the school's eventual A level results for chemistry...
So much for a JC that's ranked amongst the top.

面朝大海，春暖花开从明天起，做一个幸福的人
喂马，劈柴，周游世界
从明天起，关心粮食和蔬菜
我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花开
从明天起，和每一个亲人通信
告诉他们我的幸福
那幸福的闪电告诉我的
我将告诉每一个人
给每一条河每一座山取一个温暖的名字
陌生人，我也为你祝福
愿你有一个灿烂的前程
愿你有情人终成眷属
愿你在尘世获得幸福
我只愿面朝大海，春暖花开
海子
Good english?

Well I got this composition from a primary 3 kid. Shall not say who, but he just came to Singapore and...I wonder how he would perform if he continues like this.
______________________________________________________________________________________
It was a perfect day to go to Sentosa Island for a picnic, As it was a public holiday, thousands of people had the same idea as us. First, my parents bring me and my brother to rided the cable car. Secondly, we went to Sulosa Beach for picnic.
After that, we finded a place where near a coconut tree. We put down our picnic hamper, then my brother and I went to the changeroom to change to our swimming costuin.
After changing our swimming costuin, we raced into the water and splash each other. When it was evening, my family bring back home. I wish I have a perfect day again.

'i dont want to mug' syndrome
Sunday, August 10, 2008
As I'm waiting for lunch to be ready...lots of things are popping in and out of my head.
but the most significant thing is...I know I'm suffering from the 'I don't want to mug' syndrome.
Something that only happened to me when I enter JC.
Ah well...somehow I will work it out. I so desperately want to leave this place.
Many major events have happened in the past few days. War in Georgia, Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony, National Day Parade 2008...and FIR Concert. Haha.
For those who watched the Opening Ceremony, I'm sure you must be impressed by the performances. Its really 5000 years of culture squeezed into one day. Amazing. I shan't comment on the commentator though....
And of course, Singapore's NDP pales in comparison. I caught a few glimpses of it, it just wasn't as good.
Once again I'm feeling remorseful that I didn't go to FIR's concert. First was Jay Chou's, now FIR's....probably attending it will make me feel better.
On a sidenote, I'm tagged by EY...but I really don't feel like doing it. Sorry!!
Let me continue to be emo until something good (I hope) happens later today...
And in the process, I shall mug. -.-

It's a bit long to type my reply into the tiny tagboard, so I shall put it here. I think you will read it. =)
其实，我一直都坚持有自己的想法。就是因为知道这世界的人们都要被沦落为整个经济的小其子，所以才要更加努力，让自己有机会过自己想要过得日子。
你大可放心。我会继续努力，争取我梦寐以求的生活。就算没有成功，至少我知道我已尽力了。。。
若有一天我真的离开了，我们或许也没有机会见面了，我也不会忘记这位好朋友在握低落是给我的鼓励与支持。我由衷的感谢你！
你也不要忘记，充实与快乐的过着你的生活！！！ =)

Money no enough 2
Friday, August 01, 2008
Whew. Have been busy as usual. silly caal gets onto my nerves.
Well, today my class became very enthusiastic and almost all of us decided to go catch a movie together. hahaha. we watched 'Money no Enough 2'. Despite some technical issues here and there, the storyline is one that I can truly empathize with (yes I didn't use the word wrongly here), and so I think it's really worth the watch.
I shan't dwell more into it. Watch it to find out more. =)
