Excellent!

School sucks. But, what's new, eh?

I was about to advise you not to let anyone you know go for JC education then I realised I may be the only one who hates studying. Oh well.

Haven't been concentrating a lot during lectures and I blame this at the the fact that holiday is coming and that is hell, a meganomous (no such word, really) distraction. Totally not my fault holiday is coming, right? Of course not. :P

Going to Jalan Besar Stadium this Thursday to support the boys during the semi-finals. This time against SAJC and we are hoping to win. And, so does the opponent, la bodoh. Kick some balls, MJ boys!

GPP is heaven still. The group is really cooperative, if you exclude Zi Ang. But, he provides paper and pen and does one of his dance moves every now and then, so I guess he is important in his own way. Almost like, no way.

Okay, fine. Joke gone wrong.

Oh yeah, got first again I think for GP essay and still the same marks. This time it is about, "Is it ever justifiable for people to place their aged parents in a home?". Happy that I mantained my results but slightly disappointed there is zilch progress.

But, I did not give my all for this essay and I guess it is kind enough of Mr Chiang to write, " Comprehensive discussion of fully relevant points". Hell yeah, it is a 4-pages essay. "Linguistic flair is in evidence" (This made me happy, by the way) and my all-time favourite, "Excellent!".

I like how the "!" goes so well with the word "excellent" and both go so much better on my paper.

But, he commented I had the tendency to ramble. Which, of course is innate and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

Okay, GPP now.

Hey Mama

I was thinking for a while and I realised that if ever I have a child like myself, apart from all the witty humor, the unchallenged intelligence and all the other attributes you can think of about me, I'll shoot him/her down.

I seriously don't know how my mother tahan all the shit I've been giving her for close to 17 years that I'm convinced now if my mother is some other lady, I'll probably end up in a foster care or wandering around in an incinerator.

I love her but I don't tell her that cause I know she knows. And just knowing she knows, that's enough for me. What's better is making her angry, like really angry and you see her go ballistic and a part of me goes, she wasted 9 months carrying you" but the more rational side of me goes, "Hell, this is shit funny!".

Like right now, she wants me to accompany her to some wedding function which, of course, I politely declinced. Okay, if you consider 'shouting and screaming' polite. And now, she is threatening to not buy for me many many things and she's nagging(mother's deadliest weapon) and her final resort, wallowing in self-pity. I find this better than Russell Peters.

Of course I'll go with her later but, I just need to amuse myself first.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers. :D

Anyway, I'm a sucker for weekends. I really cannot get down to work on any day that ends with "-day" and even more so on days that begin with "S". I just wanna be an ass on these days and do nothing at all. Studied for my Chem test but of course, my "studying" may be a tad different from the convention.

Physics SPA then Chem test then Vesak Day (!!!) then E-learning days (!!!!!!!!) then holiday. Aah, can la.

Maybe I'll change my blogskin soon.

I Learnt That...

If there's one thing I learnt today, I learnt that your extent of liking towards a particular subject depends pretty much on who is teaching you what. Well, at least for me. Or maybe, that isn't even the lesson I learnt, it may just as well be that, I'm just very un-adaptable.

Mr Chiang is away on reservist so we'll only see him when the new semester begins. That means, GP lessons are no longer under him for these 2 weeks and that pretty much sucks. I like GP lessons because I like the way he carries out his lessons though sometimes it gets mundane and I always resort to blaming the nature of the subject. But, he simplifies things a lot and that is really helpful cause I don't need anyone to make things more difficult than they already are and so, I understand better and when I understand better, I do my work properly and then I score and that is when I start to like the subject. Then, I'll like the teacher then I like the lessons and I seek to understand better and I bet you want me to shoot myself right about.. now.

But the new teacher, she is excellent and she is poised to answer your questions with real answers and not like "something like that". But, you see, I am just unfortunate to not be adaptable enough so I probably need time to adjust to her and chances are just when I'm about to do that, Mr Chiang will be back and Mid Years will be here.

Anyway, another thing I learnt today or rather come to terms with is that, I'm an ego-centric freak. No, really, you don't have to say 'no, you're not'. I am. And that sucks pretty much as well. You know, sometimes I think my ego is bigger than my ass. Hell, that's huge. I take that 'ass' part back.

Anyhoo, had lunch with Mum and Dad just now at Fish n Co and did a little shopping after gazillion lightyears, I tell you! Hah, now there's so many things that I want but a good start can be that white jeans. And oh, bought 2 books today and one is titled 'Apocalypse 2012' and "The Diary of Anne Frank'. The former has so many discussions about it, you can find it on Youtube for the videos. It's about how there are so many predictions that the world will end in 4 years time. The latter is about a holocaust victim and what you are reading is actually her authentic entries only that it is typed out and is in English unless of course you can read German and you want the real manuscripts which I suggest you reconsider and make do with the book version cause after seeing her handwriting, I know mine isn't the ugliest anymore.

Okay, don't make fun of the dead.

I made plans to study Chem later. We'll see...

And oh, GPP is heaven. And if Mr Kwek approves of our GPP, I may just like PW a lot more.

your lips is the best best canvas, i can only imagine what you're painting

Secretly...

I'm having a conversation with Darren on MSN now and it's the purest form of stupidity. Haha, I miss my PAE classmates.

Anyway, today I do not feel like doing any tutorials and so, I will not. See, how easy life can get for me if I choose wisely. I sat for my Physics SPA, Chem SPA and Maths test. Phy SPA and Chem SPA was okay but Maths test, if I can pass, IF la, then I'm grateful already.

So far, there has not been a single proper test that I've passed in MJC, okay minus GP. Though GP is really crucial, compared to my H2s, it's nothing... though technically, it's everything. You get my drift, no?

It's like a plate of fish and chips and on the plate you have, coleslaw, fish and fries. You only get the coleslaw, not the fish, not even the fries.

But, no one's to blame but myself. Ever since I stepped into college, I haven't given my all for my tests and studies. If I have to give a percentage to it, I really think I'll fall somewhere about 48%. Yeah, that's how pathetic I can get.

Midyear, it shall be then.

Oh, council. You know when I chose not to run for EXCO, after a few days, I was regretting it a little cause as cocky as this sounds, I believe I have the potential to. But, it's because of the academics and my level of intelligence isn't exactly one of envy and my time management and discipline is at the lower end of the spectrum, so I know if I run for EXCO and if I get it, the hole that I'm in will get deeper.

But, now I think I've made a wise decision cause the EXCO are really busy and though I am not one of them, I can feel the brunt of JC life, whatnot with the tutorials and tests. And, I haven't even gotten down to proper studying yet.

If I get retained ah...

Secretly, I am enjoying PW. I really do like it a lot actually. Okay, minus PI and the pointless word limit and the staying up late to finish it up, hell it can be interesting. I am just looking forward to the surveys cause I can just disturb anyone along Orchard Road. And, that is the only reason I like PW other than because we are doing on my PI.

And, oh, I may go Shanghai at the end of the year.

Pointless Post

I am having a writer's block. That's why I abandoned my GP essay and came here instead. Then, being a bodoh, I realised technically, blogging is tantamount to writing. But, it's so effortless to talk about irrelevant, nonsensical shit.

I'll just study for my Maths test la.

Then, lets pray that at the end of it, I am capable once again to write a proper GP essay.

Anyway, you know, when you achieved something that you are proud of and you have to do that thing the second time, that second time is always harder than the first one. You know you have something really valuable to maintain and that causes added pressure. And that's GP for me.

Again, another worthless post.

Bye Pee Eye

After yesterday PI episode, I have a distorted shift of perception of PW. But,I really don't feel like talking about it.

But it was worth it cause Mr Chiang graded my PI as EE(Exceeding Expectation). And so did the other 864 students in MJ. So it makes no difference but it's nice to know that all your hard work actually yields result.

I worked so hard for PI though it's really ridiculous since it's miniscule, I think, when compared to the essence of PW. In total, I had 20 pages worth of PI-related materials. 3 pages of the real thang plus footnotes and 17 pages of Annex. That is shit a lot of work.

Bye, PI. I hope you die.

Anyway, I shall do my work today. I shall and I will. GP essay, study for SPA, study for Maths test, do Chem, Maths and Physics tutorials and read CSE. Aaah, small the pieces! Can la... Can la.

I'm really afraid of Physics SPA. It's freaking hard especially the setting up. You know, Chem SPA is really standard, prepare the solution yourself, titrate and tabulate and that's it. The only hard ball is the concept question because as usual, I like to panic and I am not at my peak when I panic.

What difference does it make? My peak isn't that high anyway. Hah.

I feel like eating sour power.

I'll sleep, wake up and eat sour power and start on my work.

P.S: Mr Chiang, if you ever read this, Microsoft Word doesn't mark my PI, you do!

Pee Eye

Almost 12 hours, I've been staring at this screen and doing my PI.

Bloody PI.

I emailed Mr Chiang and Mr Kwek at 12ish then I refined it at 1ish. Now, I'm still refining it that I lost count the times I did it.

Double check, triple check the check list and each time I checked, I find something not right.

And, oh, I'm off the word limit. Way off. WAAAAAAAYYYY OFFF.

And, Mr Chiang said, "not to worry".

What was that suppose to mean? Not to worry that you are off the limit? Or not to worry that you are already 1 grade down for PI?

Okay, I'm over-reacting. He's a good person. And, I am a tired person now.

This post is really worthless.

Fong, I'm coming to SA to meet your principal. Tell her/him to bring the PW guy down or she/he will go down.
