Perception

Language Arts B was awesome!!!!! 

We left a letter on the board saying we needed a striker for interclass soccer, and asking Ms Ho whether she could play for us. Here's what she said, "Give it to me on paper" XD We're gonna really do that XD

Joshua on her outfit,
Joshua: "You look fabulous in turquoise Madam."
Ms Ho: "I don't succumb to flattery, Joshua."
Joshua: "It's the plain truth."
Ms Ho: "You're beginning to sound like Thanappa."

Then we sung Happy Birthday to her again :P,
Ms Ho: "If you continue singing, I'll call ALL your parents down during Term 3 PTM and you'll go on stage and sing."
3.8: "YEAH!"

Dr Lee Li Eng Speaker of the Year,
Ms Ho: "The Malay and Tamil boys will not join us for the Dr Lee Li Eng Speaker Of The Year Competition."
Jeremy: "They have their Tunku Abdul Rahman Speaker of The Year Competition right?"
(Ms Ho gives her awesome angry look)
Ms Ho: "They will sit somewhere else"
Daryl: "That's racial segregation!"
Ms Ho gives her trademark expression XD

Class outing,
Me: "Do you want to come with the class to Sentosa during the June Holidays?"
Ms Ho: "I need to check, I have con camp"
Joseph: "Huh? Madam, what subject did you fail?"
Ms Ho gives the Ms Ho look again XD

Then her presentation got corrupted,
Ms Ho: "The powerpoint is not working!"
Me: "Let's cry."

So she went through the coursework slides instead. Then we asked whether we can read her slides, except we didn't wait for an answer! XD It was super funny, we were reading it imitating either her, Ms Bose or Mr Peter Tan XD Then one of the last slides, we read it as a class :P

At the end of her lesson, we had a photo-taking session with Ms Ho XD It was super funny, cos she was trying to run away, but the class surrounded her XD Then she said, "Do it another day when I'm wearing something else!" ROFL XD Our applause was accompanied with her awesome angry face and her classic "What is going on?" Then she said, "You have all gone mad after the exams!" XD I think she give up on our class already XD

I think I said something that hurt someone today. I know you will read this someday. You said that you were okay, and it was nothing I said. That was a lie, wasn't it? The look on your face gave it all away. I'm sorry. 

Its easy to read the emotions of some people. More difficult for some others. 

I guess to be around people I can read easily is nice. Duno.... maybe because its easier to talk to people when you know where you stand. I guess for the other person, every time we talk face-to-face in school, I realize that a lot of the time I have no idea at all how you feel. Unless its on the phone when I can tell from the tone of your voice, or until I read your blog. It kind of makes talking about things a bit more difficult, cos I duno if what I say gonna hurt your feelings. Like how I realized too late that I tread on the wrong path, when we were talking after the Chinese Paper 2. I'm sorry. 

Anyway you dun have to hide your feelings. Its not like we'll be so insensitive as to laugh or something like that. You don't have to suffer in silence and go through all the pain alone, ending up being left out in the cold and the dark. Your friends will always be there for you. Me at least.

I had the lousiest 2 weeks of my life ever. I think I'm gonna fail about 3 papers. My mind is so cluttered with so many appointments for the next few months already, I can't exactly think straight. The problem is no matter how meticulously I plan my schedule, there are a bunch of idiots who have no respect for other people's time. They don't know its extremely rude to change appointments without due advance notice.

Filing was an absolute disaster. I have been totally ignoring my bio. That is bad. Filing C Math made me very upset. I discovered that Mr Kenneth Ong made me do a few worksheets twice because he didn't take note of them in his computer properly. I'm not going to bother telling him. I'll file both copies right next to each other. If he has any courtesy, he'll look for me after class to apologize. 

Something is not right. In the span of 30 minutes, I can manage to topple a vase over, chip it, trip over a table leg, when the table is arrange properly next to the wall, and almost knock over a computer. I need a psychiatrist.

Today is International AIDS Awareness Day. Tons of people will be either donating stuff or attending memorial ceremonies. I wonder out of these people how many really care. How many really want to do something that makes a difference. 

Same with climate change. Its so easy to remember stuff that needs to be done, like switch off stuff in standby mode. But how many people really care enough to do that?

Maybe the world only has two problems. Apathy and greed. Apathy, see above, greed, no need elaboration (financial crisis, corporate scandals etc.)

I have no idea why everyone wants students to be good at everything. Evidently its not working. But its not like the educators care anyway. I realize that I can't find a single thing which I can say I am spectacular at doing. Its just I happen to be relatively good at most things. Isn't that just stupid?

It doesn't have to be this way. Why all the hoohaa about being multi-talented? If we have a single thing that we can do fabulously, and we use that to make the world a better place, do we really need to ask for more?
