Storming 11:40 AM

I am very angry today with a bunch of immature idiots. Basically, someone lent out the MPac iMac, without even consulting the IT Manager, to the Student Council. It was returned with a scratch all the way down one side, and a long scratch on the top. Even worse, the Student Council was camwhoring, and didn't even remove those photos. Apparently, from the photos, the iMac was left out in the sun.

Its simply unthinkable that people nowadays do not have any respect for other people's property. If it was just any other computer, then its not so bad. But people fail to understand that Macs are professional grade research and production supercomputers, and that their laptops can run easily to $7000, and desktops $4000++. Each Mac is a work of art, a scratch can ruin the whole minimalist appearance. Worse still is the fact that this is the Student Council. They are supposed to be role models. Absolutely disgraceful. To think that these same people will be next generation of business leaders is more than mildly disturbing. I shudder to think of the kind of corporate social irresponsibility doomed to befall the future leadership of companies both local and multinational.

Frankly these bas***ds should simply be shot dead. One begins to wonder why they abolished death by firing squad. Sometimes its actually quite fitting.

Disgraceful.

First Day of School 11:38 AM

So today is the first day of school, and our CT is now Ms Fiona Ho, PCTs Ms Ong Mui Hong and Ms Choy Min. Too bad Turrance is not teaching us anymore. Maybe he hates our class. We are going to Vietnam instead of Shanghai, not happy about it. The flight is only 4 hrs. Practically nonexistent, especially when one has flown transatlantic 20+ hours non-stop, with a 3 hr transit to another 5 hr flight added on. Total traveling time 28+ hrs. Yes, that is my longest journey. Anyway, Ms Ho has this habit of inhaling deeply in the middle of a sentence:

"I now think that it is time for you to *huuuggghh* go to Lecture Theatre 2"

Its all quite funny really, and Jeremy Ong thinks its all very screwed up this year. Nico thinks Ms Ho is crazy, Kapilan too. Anyway, Lucas thinks that Ms Ong is a very nice teacher. I don't disagree, especially outside class. But I think she should smile more. Its a little funny when a person you see throughout the whole year doesn't smile.

I finally got Apple MobileMe, my calendars, address-books and email are perfectly synchronized. I am happy with my life when its in perfect order. I have also resolved to be more organized this year, on top of my earlier resolution to be less mean.

Oh yes, and I got upstaged during chemistry. I am very angry about it. Basically the question was what was the fifth state of matter, so I put up my hand, and then this person at the back just blurted out the answer. How barbaric. Anyway, if you were wondering the answer is the Bose-Einsteinuim Condensate. Less than half of all matter is capable of achieving this state.

We got this fantastic physics teacher, Mr Jason (oh no, I forgot his surname, I will find out later).

When I came home I read this inspirational article on Zenhabits about happiness. I am very inspired, I shall also resolve to be a more happy person this year. Zenhabits is a website about removing physical and mental clutter. Go google the name, the articles are very inspiring.

So that was the first day of school...........

Last Day of Holidays 11:31 AM

Holidays were retarded. Too many MPac meetings. Marketing is in disaster cuz no one is doing anything.

Its 2009 now.

BTW Lee Zheng is a CLT already. If u are reading this now, Thanks a million!

Dentist 11:26 AM

Went to dentist today. Dentist refused to do anything until 16. Escaped braces. Haha.

Its the last day of 2008, glad it is. 2008 was screwed up, happy to get it over with. But I also dun wanna go to 2009. I dun wanna be 15, and I dun wanna say goodbye to a few people whom I'll probably never get to meet in person for the rest of my life. Thanks Elliott for being so nice to me. (wish u had stayed at Independent for yr 5 and 6, will miss u badly)

Its Christmas! 11:22 AM

Yeah, Christmas party was yesterday, on the eve. The three little people (other cousins i dun like) are not coming, haha.

Went to IKEA today for curtains, and got a whole sheepskin for a christmas present. We thought it was $12, but someone put it into the wrong basket. Was $69 when we checkout. Bought it anyway.

BTW, I also got a crumpler for Christmas, next year's school bag. :)

Anyway, went to IKEA after reading inspirational articles on minimalism, in short, its time for spring cleaning.
