Oh so many funny things happened today. I am gonna keep this short though, having physics common test tomorrow.
Fact: Principals don’t mean it when they say “I am gonna keep this short.”
Shawn, Shenn, Fangting and Munkit were simply awesome lunchtime entertainment with their synchronized “cross-legs” show
On my way home, while boarding the bus, I knocked my head against the ceiling of the 2nd deck and the Creative Zen in my hand went off flying and hit a Indian lady. Crap, so damn funny and paiseh. Oh well, that means I have grown taller! *pokes Shawn*
OMG I am mugging.
Just yesterday, Shenn brought her secondary-school photographs to class and we were like assesing it, along with Pengyang who was in her class too. “I miss my secondary school class,” is what I hear, and really much of how I feel too. It isn’t that I don’t like my class now in JC, but those days were definitely missed.
People come and go, was a line I told Shenn sometime ago and that’s really true. Sometimes I just wonder how come my friends don’t seem to have the time to hang out, but I swear I ain’t only the one feeling this - I have not given my time to them either. I think it is inevitable, ’cause you would spend more time with new friends you make since you’re probably gonna spend the next years with them more often. I love perfect solutions, and I spend like forever finding them, yet to this problem, there just isn’t… well, there may be one - just apologize for your own negligence and make up for it someday =)
Okay, so enough of the philosophical things.
Today I went back to YCS with Andy and Chunhui, and met up with some of the other guys at YCS. Well, we still behave the same way - boys will always be boys. I think I really missed some of the people other than my peers, like Shronn (my daughter) especially! Haha, was having so much fun with her, and she changed her hairstyle!
Anyways, I got my testimonial and O level cert after so long! Delayed since end of May, today is the day. The significance of the testimonial lies in the fact that, it was written by my form teacher - Miss Lim Pei Lin. Yes she left YCS when we were taking O levels, sad, but the best part of the certificates I received today was that very fact.
I read my testimonials, I laughed, I remembered. And then I wondered. That’s my secondary-one class photo, can spot me? As I read, I looked at the things I was remembered for: High-energy level? Cheerful? Relates to others sincerely and warmly? Genuine interesting in helping the less fortunate? Drama? Dance?
Maybe I did, just maybe, but I thought I have changed. I guess my friends in JC would disagree with all of the above, and I’m quite sure of that. If I really was like this before, then I would like to turn back time. It is not fun being analytical and wary, not easy being pragmatic and cynical. I have alot of question marks now, many things I don’t understand, and many things I would like to remedy.
So there goes my 4 years, that’s my secondary-four photo, the year which most of my memories of are still vivid.
OMFG can you spot me! I am at the top left, so damn… cuckoo can. That’s the dance club photo back in secondary-one too =)
And then, our last year in dance. Miss dance.
“I want to be a better man,” is a phrase I never really wanted to say before, but this time, I really do. I kinda lost my direction already, so hand me a compass to help me find my way..
Today was a day filled with tests - Economics and Chinese. We were introduced to our new economics teacher, Miss Law too. Guess it would probably take me awhile to get used, but the first impression is quite good.
Either I will flunk my economics or I will score very high. Of course, the former has higher probability. Chinese test was very tedious since I didn’t bother to read the content during the holidays, so luckily it was a open-book test and speed-reading really helps.
But those 2 tests really drained me for the day. And more tests are coming. I feel very lethargic all of a sudden.
Civics class has always something ’surprising’ for us, and today was another of those personality test sorta stuff. But it was kinda inaccurate this time round when Dr. Gan placed me under ‘black.’ There is really a very clear difference between ‘accepting reality’ and ‘being negative’ you know? Accepting reality is like, you know its hopeless so don’t bother about it. Being negative is that, you guess it will be hopeless anyways so you condemn it and that’s not ‘don’t bother.’
Meaningless sacrifice is like… suicide, except that it makes you look even more stupid.
When you think you know it all, sometimes you end up not knowing something at all.
I thought it was pretty bad to judge others, I thought it was just wrong, but I end up doing it anyways. It ain’t sheer fun, there are reasons, but somewhat I feel guilty when I calm myself and think about it. It is still some what a guilty pleasure. I don’t want to make things right, nor I want to comment anymore, but sometimes that repulsion just cannot be helped. Forgive and forget ain’t as easy as it sounds.
Shawn is one careless bobblehead. 1st he lost his handphone and then his wallet. Good thing his stuffs were picked up by kind people like Mel, Shenn and I. But we played pranks on him anyway, and he thought they were really lost. When the day ended, he almost left his handphone in the Physics lab! OMG. Blur like… whatever.
Physical Conditioning (PC) in the morning sucks, sweat like mad and prone to heatstroke. I scored a lucky goal in a casual soccer match on the field (damn tiring I tell you) and then, *poom*, dizzy and out. There’s still PC tomorrow, gawd.
Maybe Miss Chew ain’t our economics teacher =(
Term 3! Okay, I’m not really excited about attending classes, but rather, meeting the same people again! I was caught 4 times today, all for chit-chatting (3 times during morning assembly and once during GP class). And omg, when the stand-in GP teacher asked who’s the class-rep and knew it was me, her reaction: “You are the class-rep?!?!?”
LOL. Like seriously.
We have a new timetable. The 2.5h break on Tuesdays, is gone! Forever! =(
In return, my class can now return home 5 hours earlier on Friday though, so not a bad deal. Somehow the school managed to squeeze economics and chemistry classes into the same time-slot, so we don’t have to end that late.
Today we also took… this career/personality test. It determines whether you are suitable for any of these career genres: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising or conventional. Out of possible 23 points for each, I scored…:
Realistic: 7
Eh, I am not down to earth you see…Investigative: 14
My busybody nature… hmmm.Artistic: 17
A perfect excuse to drop school…Social: 14
Talkative, ’nuff said.Enterprising: 14
Big plans, but lack of motivations.Conventional: 14
The more practical part of me?
So, artistic. Well, we shall see.
