so like a central theme of war poetry is cartharsis right. but then like, jc2 people also need their own carthartic ways to de-stress right. so like:

IM DAMN SCARED I CANNOT GET 3A's

PCB. PCBPCBPCB its like im damn scared of getting complacent right, cause thats what i let happen to me for the prelims. im particularly scared for chem, its my most shaky subject, although im improving, im quite sure if they hit me with a well placed question to screw up my thought process they'll own my entire paper.

even at the peak of my O level revision, i didnt feel like i could get 6 points. but now its different, my target is within reach, but i must own the paper properly. im not too sure if i prefer a hard paper or an easy paper though. cause like chang said, if they set a hard paper its better cause those w_f_s (must watch what we say now people getting raped for voicing their views on elitism) peeps will mess it up and we can take our rightful places in the normal distribution chart.

yeah, exams start next week. at this point its like exactly 3 weeks till the end of the A levels. its going to pass too quickly for my liking. oh yeah, i've been telling people that i want to buy a crumpler bag after A's, like a huge one. everyone i have told keeps on telling me its so poser and gay, but like, i think its quite cool what. especially since after A's i wont have to carry books around anymore so like i dont think ill ever carry a backpack again.

must focus,
must concentrate,
must own.
oh yes, i can see it. the future looks good.
or at least at this point, haha

today we went back to school to study.
the entire school was locked, the only place to study was the void deck and canteen. unfortunately, like all void decks and canteens, it was smelly and gay so i couldnt study there. but that wasnt a problem, cause i went with su and zheng hao to nl ten and we (or i, because su was being a wuss) jacked it.

anyways we discovered that wong's classroom was as clean as he left it the last time, so it was almost as pleasent studying there was it would have been in the canteen with the bird droppings and 3 days old chicken rice. so we did some work. then su started being gay with the air con, and i found a giant ant, and zheng hao finished his chem paper so we started to waste time by helping su to gay with the air con. then we found out that someone had accidentaly jacked the hub too, according to su someone got thrown onto the hub door and the door open upon impact. yeah, so next time i wont bother to do mission impossible 4 to jack the north lodge (we'll just throw su into the door repeatedly until it breaks).

then at 6pm su realized that he hasnt had his daily wank so he went home to relieve himself. and zheng hao left also because i made him pay $6.10 for one burger. but it was true ok, the bloody burger was $6.10, i didnt even know it costs that much. seriously BK shouldnt be so gay about their double whoppers with chesse, i mean it only weighs like 1kg right.

i got my enlistment letter today. im not a policeman, i can go ocs, but im in t3h OLD SCHOOL. and 12 april seems like an awfully long time to wait to get my first taste of being owned by some ite drop out coporal with half the intelligience of a cactus.

chang jie is bugging me, he is gay, stupid, and gay. i know he will read this so i might as well type something to piss him off. but i think chang jie might be able to get like one S paper disctinction, tycolly. and chang jie is damn pro in dota also, but dota seems so historic because i havent played it for so long.

theres only like 4 weeks left till the end of A levels. how quick, but like i know why since i studied physics. its like relativistic. cause like, einstein said that and einstein says everything that he says is true so when he said that chang jie was gay, stupid, and gay he meant it too. ok wtf am i talking about, i shall go back to study.

3.1 GOOD STUDY HAVEN

ok i lied, since i reformatted my computer i havent had time to install the program to upload pics from my cybershot so i cant post the baccalaureate photos yet :(

so i've spent most of the week mugging for about 14 hours a day in school. theres this empty classroom, 3.1, which i particularly like studying in. its like the 2ad1 form class and its always empty and the location is just nice, like the void deck and library are so accessible from there. and theres no noisy people like in the hub! but then again sometimes when im in the hub i make quite a lot of noise too. i guess its a hub thing, mugging there leads to talking which leads to more unproductive stuff like (exploring the school at 9pm with all the lights out).

yeah, su and chang are so adventurous and pioneering, they particularly enjoy roaming the school with all the lights out 10 days before the most important exam of their lives. but seriously, maybe end october is not the most urgent time to explore level 7 toilets...

in other news, im finally ranked to captain on area00! if u guys dont know, area00 is a damn fun game to replace dota with cause it only takes up 3mins a day and you get so sick of clicking that after 3mins you go back to your nov 2003 maths paper 2 question 5bii.
ABER:


yeah. you guys can start to make your accounts on korea server too! cause su and i have this uber plan to like OWN the area00 world after A's. how exciting. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

um, im enlisting in march. so im most probably going back to relief teach in barker. it would be quite fun. and enriching. and fulfilling. but im not too sure if their have vacancies, and if there are better alternatives than teaching rowdy, violent boys whom i once resembled. yeah, whatever, back to mugging now before f1 qualifying later at 12! (yes f1 qualifying is at midnight today damn sian)

ACS

you see, ac is a bloody hax school right from the very start. the only way to get into the primary school is to either stay 5m away from the actual school, or to have a parent who had graduated from an acs related institution before. so in good ol' 94, my father enrolled me in what he thought would be the best education for his son, since he himself had received it.

so in primary 1 i walked into my classroom in the first level of the clocktower block in the barker road campus with some sort of apprehension, unsure of what the school held ahead for me. it was pretty thrilling though, being such young kids, and the campus so old and huge, we would spend recesses trying to explore the school, play catching but never finish the game because of the sheer size of the compound, or dare each other to run up the spooky clocktower staircase. haha, it was a pretty fun childhood. acps also shared the campus with the secondary section, acs (barker). even when i was 7, when i looked at the way those guys behaved, i kinda made up my mind not to continue in that school. little did i know that 6 years later, it would be the very school i had entered. maybe instead of playing catching, i should have studied a little harder.

but barker wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. if anything, it transformed me. it taught me faith, it thought me to dream, and to hope. although i cant testify much about the "value added"-ness of the school, because academically, i decreased in value, i can say i learnt much more than math and english in that school. acs barker was also the place where my relationshop with god grew. in primary school, i would attend chapel and listen to devotions, but not really appreciate what was being shared. perhaps it was how god gave me so many chances in those four years, and so much hope. barker was also the placed i met my best friends, the ones i could really trust, the ones whom i know wouldnt desert me for all the money in the world( but probably for a dota game they would). i met 4a3, the best class i could ever wish for (until 2se1?), 4a3 was a bloody good experience, ill remember those boys forever.

acjc was a different experience altogether. i mean like suddenly, CO-ED. damn scary, i suppose we were all suddenly very self conscious, but in time we all got used to it. of course, being from barker, we all had to get used to paying attention and cutting our hair. but it was all good for us. if barker created me, acjc refined me. meeting the acsi guys were a shock. i mean, we were primary school friends after all. how could 2 schools stand for the same values, but yet be so far apart? academically? in terms of student behaviour? public opinion? i seemed to be blessed with being put in great classes. i met 2se1, 2se1 are a great bunch of people, if you take away one of us, you wont have a complete class. these folks made my acjc experience complete, they make my want to go to class daily, cause its so damn fun. im sure we'll all do well for our A levels :)

when good ol oldham made acs in 18 something (its too long ago i forgot), i daresay he never expected it to expand into an entire family of 6 schools. but acs is not just an institution, thats too empty a word. acs is an identity, every person who passes through its gates will learn something from that experience. every boy who's life its changed will forever have the values the school stands for deeply imbued within him.

i know it sounds damn corny, this school has changed my life, its made me who i am. because its the only school i know. i also know there'll always be people like zhihuan who hate the school as much as we love it, but at least we know why. you can also find these breed of people in acjc, unhappy, disgruntled, full of hate, these are the people who dont want to be here. oh yes, you'd be suprised, so many kids appeal every year trying to get in, yet there are people within the school who hate it. they'll never find their place in our culture, because they didnt want to.

im damn freaking proud of this heritage. and im gonna preserve it as long as i can, even after i leave the school.

:) cheers and happy baccalaureate

next post on pictures taken tmr!

you see in every acs school that i've been to, i've received honours at least once. or at least that was so until i came to acjc. but seriously, my cca endeavours in this school are really pretty messed up haha. but i guess i just have to make up for it by going on stage one last time, the only time it matters.

some guys have started to receive their enlistment letters. i haven't gotten mine yet. actually i kinda hope i enlist in april, i'd fancy the free time to do things which i really wanted to do. like maybe go to cambodia and help the children, then step on a land mine and lose a few limbs, get downgraded and work as a clerk in the army. not a bad life eh? except i reckon the land mine part might hurt pretty bad.

i think about half my class are pes c and below. so they can slack off and play dota for 2 years, quite fun. but i was thinking about it, being a clerk has so many more merits. like going home everyday to see your parents and watch your pet cactus grow. and like if you only work 9 to 5 then at least you wont be so worried about your gf running off with some poly guy while you're trekking through the jungles of borneo, sweaty, exhausted, tired, with just the thought of her keeping you going. haha, very ironic, but thats just my imagination (life is more cruel, she'll run off with landon su). so i guess we should all turn gay cause then our gay partners will be there with us in borneo too. haha

um, school's ending, my next post shall be on that. 12 years in acs is quite hard to put into words, i guess im gonna need some time to compose all that. but in the mean time, study study study!

HAZE

ABER
ABER
ABER
WHY CANT I SEE ANYTHING?

its damn hard to breathe, how to study? its so foggy, i cant read my notes.
the haze got damn f-ed up today. im like almost choking already.

but then again, not being able to see anything is sometimes good. ignorance is so much better than knowledge.

i had this great, long post planned so well in my head earlier today. but in the end it came to naught because im too tired/ suffocated/ troubled/ worried to properly think now.
i guess i need some sleep
