Bad Day
March 27, 2008today was really kind horrible.
FIrst thing in the morning. for once i actually wished that the person who’s gonna sit nxt to me wont be a girl. cos i wanna sleep and i’ve seen people totally embarrassing themselves as their body swaying here and there, before they wake up and realize it. n then it happened. and it was like the only “girl” on e bus. dam sian
then in school. nid to write chinese compo. it’s kinda crap i think i chose the wrong question. cos it’s really weird, that i chose to write about Teens inappropriate ways of using the internet:unsafe friend-finding, illegal downloading and “对利用网络造福社会不够热心”. quite obviously i’m supposed to criticize about these things and suggest how to improve. but i only realized it’s so ironic after i started writing about these teens and asked myself…”isn’t this me?” i ended up crapping for the back part…
after that i had to attend this HSK(汉语水平考试) preparation tutorial. we were introduced to the fact that the paper we’ll be sitting for has compo, aural and oral. and according to my classmates the one they took last yr(which i din) had 90% MCQ. well, i’ve certainly got myself into whole lot of trouble.
n den after that i reached home at 5pm and decided i want to play basketball. so i asked my papa to go down with me…n then after playing a while, 4 sec1 Shuqun sec people came. 2 of them wanted to have a match. i soooo didn’t want that! i would be actually having a teammate who doesnt even know the rules, sucks at dribbling, can’t grab ball properly, etc. lol. well, no choice, since i was the only one rejecting it. there was a prettygirl with them, the “cute lil sis” type. but it was kinda irritating, the way she spoke to her frenz. i don’t know how to explain, and perhaps some people would even find it attractive, BUT i just found it detestable. then she was like soooo scared of the ball. when the ball nearly reached her halfway thru the match she was like so dam scared. like WTH the ball wasn’t even moving fast. worse than my mom la. zz.
duno why now i getting sexist. (is that the right word?) maybe it’s cos i met too many feminist peeps and argued many times to reject their weird perspectives.
OUCH. i just scratched open my wound. omg bleeding a lot. stopping here
worn out
March 26, 2008almost forgot i had a blog, until i received some notification in my email.
today is make-up holiday to celebrate for A lvl results.(sounds stupid) din go to school, (obviously) so play com almost whole day. but did my homework. actually it’s a boring day, my parents are both quiet today. i think there were about only 20 sentences spoken so far for the day. i think i contributed half, for explaining some things…
o n i just got a new phone. looks nice to me, but the best thing is it can play songs. my previous one got no this and that, bluetooth ir vidtaking games, no nothing. well, actually i dun use all the functions much anyway. i din even have much chance to use the music player(i mean in school). cant use during lessons, always interrupted by classmates after school(while doing homework), so sleepy on the bus i forgot abt it.
sighs. there’s chinese compo tmr. hate it
o.o
March 10, 2008my favourite face. haha
or maybe it’s o.O but they’re used in different situations. heh. o.o can be used in any situations, like saying, yes? when someone talks or…aiya jus anything. but o.O is more like “huh” or “wow?” which are like question marks. yea. well that was random.
updates: my piano exam is screwed, i started watching naruto, it’s quite like bleach just that ninjas die but not shinigamis.
oh im watching tv now and i just saw this stupid group/band or wateva it is…that has 10 people in it. like damn stupid. singers are getting crazy these days, forming super weird combos, with no pattern. like these 10 people, some guys some girls. if i just see them on the street one day, or on some random stage, i wont even be able to make out they’re a group of singers, i will think it is just some game that involves the audience. haiz.
updates (cont’d): i don’t feel like cont’ing
ps: incase u duno who the 10people are, they go by the name 星光邦

Guitar
March 5, 2008mood: super annoyed.
it’s sabbaticals week, im in Guitar. it’s tough but the sound is really nice. hope it doesnt affect my playing piano though. consulted my piano teacher and she said it might affect a bit if u practice guitar too much. cos the skin on ur left hand fingers will harden and that will affect ur feel of the piano keys, so im assuming it will affect the ability to control loudness.
i hope to be able to play First Kiss(similar to 彩虹) and 淡水海边. they’re such nice songs.
anywas below is something some people finally managed to produce after some serious photographic lessons:
so thats a black one. there were 3 other colors..blue red and sunburst(typical orange). 3ppl bought blue 1 bought red and i was the only one who got a black. but seriously i think black is the best.
me
March 3, 2008i’m a living contradiction,
each part of me corresponds inversely with another
just like my msn personal message is <3
but my heart’s filled with loathe and hate
Little Irony
March 2, 2008I was stoning yesterday and suddenly thought of this book called Little Ironies, Stories of Singapore, which was compulsory reading material for sec 1 or 2. and then i briefly remembered 1 story but i couldnt find the irony in it. so i thought now im sec 4, maybe i can understand it much better. i flipped through, read “The Teacher” and i really got the idea much better.
the story is about a girl called TanGeokPeng, a sec 4 student getting ready for O’s. but her english was extremely poor and her teacher was really impatient with her. the compositions she wrote. they were all in grammar, punctuation errors. but they ALL described the same thing: her dysfunctional family. the teacher gave 3 examples of the compos she wrote and criticized every one of them badly, for the poor use of language. some time later, the girl jumped to her death.
all the teacher said was: “Poor girl. Such a shy and timid girl. If only she had told me of her problems.”
like hell. yea. i that teacher sux. though it’s fiction, i believe that this kind of story has really happened before in real life, somewhere in the world. and i do not that this kind of cases happen rarely. people nowadays dun care so much anymore, abt anything. adults, when treating their child, look only at the exterior and do not go beyond that. example? wat matters: the score of a paper but not the mistakes, the achievements but not the hard work, the language but not the content(of the compo in the story). yea, people are becoming like that. the root of all troubles is development. but it’s inevitable and must take place, just like teh destruction of the earth. i truly admire the person who invented the chinese phrase 天下没有不散的宴席. it can apply to anything and everything. sighs. and that makes me sad.
back to topic. i recommended that story to my father. and i specifically told him that it’s very interesting. but all he ever noticed was the outrageous grammar mistakes made by the student. (i doubt he can do better than her btw) and after i said “do you really think i asked you to read it just for the jokes?”, another heated argument ensued. it was as usual, he did make any sense in whatever he said to rebut me, then it ended again with creative ways of reprimanding me of playing games too much. well, i admit i play too much so once he changed topic, i just Shut Up. (silence = consent right..)
anyways, i wonder wat people usually think about when they read about a student writing about her ill-fate in all her compositions, before even reaching the part about the death and wat the teacher said.
for me, it was sympathy for the student. not much of how weird the language is.
dots. i just felt this strong urge to write this. kinda different from my normal posts. bleahx
