i see myself getting grey… age… 17… 2008

Yada, yada, yada… Oh! Before I start, I would like to tell all you people who read my blog (I don’t effectively know how many) that I usually only write my entries at around 9.30pm, basically because I take around an hour to finish it, ending at around 10.30pm, then I would turn in for the day. So just telling you in case you all are always apprehensive about when my new entry comes in. ^^

Wee Chinese B SL was quite fun, we learnt the Geography of China and the 4 directional points in Chinese. Time flew and before we knew it, it was time to go for our next lesson. Had homework to do though… Needed to do a written response to a passage in the paper. OMG LUCKILY IM NOT IN SAME CLASS AS MR BLUE-PRINT-OF-ISAAC FOR MOST OF MY SUBJECTS EXCEPT CHINESE! OMG HE IS ABSOLUTELY IRRITATING TO THE MAX! A HUGE SUCK UP TOO! Oh well, if I change to Chinese A2, I WON’T SEE HIM… AT ALL! ONLY FOR CONTACT TIME! WHAT A BLESSING!

Maths… OMG WHAT ON EARTH IS PA?!?!?!?!?! So I got lost on the first day of class to my HL 1 which was Maths, BUT I SO DID NOT DESERVE A BITCHING ON THAT! AND IF YOU WANNA BITCH LOOK ME INTO THE EYE, AMATUER! Oh well, that said, it was totally boring ALTHOUGH, time did fly and within a blinking of the eye, it was time for recess! WOOHOO~!

Physics… OMG CAN DIE LA! SOOO HARD! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! ARGH! *FAINT* ARGH! I NEED TUITION… LOTS… FAST! Calculation of uncertainties are so abstract, delta this, delta that, a, b, c, g, z. O.O Then the worksheet is like OMGWTFGGQQ! So super duper hard la, the concept took me like 10-20minutes to process and internalise… can die man… I wonder how I will be able to sit for exams. STUDY STUDY STUDY!

Biology… The class can only be described with one word and one word only – HUGE! We have 33 people are confirmed to be in our class! Even the laboratories could not sit all the people in the it! It is CRAAZZYYYY! And man, the girls behind my bench are FREAKIN’ NOISY! They cannot stop talking to each other!

The worst thing is that… I HAVE 2 PRACTICALS/IAs TO BE DONE ON MONDAY AND HANDED IN ON TUESDAY! WTH! OMG! IB IS DRIVING ME NUTS! SCHOOL JUST STARTED AND WE GET THIS KIND OF UNREASONABLE REQUESTS?!?!?! I MEAN, LIKE GIVE US A WEEK TO DO IT LA! IT IS AFTERALL 2 PRACTICALS, IF NOT IAs, HOW CAN WE COMPLETE IT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME FRAME?!?!?!?

Oh man… Today was really tiring… Or so I keep telling myself… 4.40pm dismissal… Tiring subjects to sit through like the ever-brain-sapping Physics and maybe Maths. Luckily tomorrow is only 2.40pm… A time we all are used to during our Secondary School life. I look at my timetable, and all I can see is BIOLOGY IN THE MORNING AT 9AM… I feel so lethargic I don’t feel like sleeping nor waking up… ever. So much notes to take down… can die… and I think I missed Chapter One… because today when I went into class, the topic was already Chapter Two: Cells.

New year’s resolution: Learn how to take down notes and listen to teacher’s explaination in class at the same time – multi-tasking.

I am so bloody tired now… I need to sleep… Sleep…

Oh! Okay! I know what to type! Every detail about my class and all!

So, basically, I move around the whole school the whole day and only attend ONE lesson in my form class, and that is Chinese B SL class, which I might change because I might be taking Chinese A2… and my class, if I change, I would be the ONLY taking it, so I would have to join another class.

Bio, Physics… Those two subjects are enough to make myself turn all grey, old and wrinkly all over. They are so stressful and hard… Well, Biology not really the case, but Physics… Oh man… killer… So stressful, so taxing, so hard, incomprehensible. I hope I can survive.

One good thing about being in a non-intact class is that you get to meet SO SO SO WAY MUCH more people than other people from an intact class. I go to 6 different classes for 6 different subjects, so technically I meet six different classes of people which if you do the Math, it would be around 150 different people! But in practicality terms, you and I know that that is most likely NOT the case. But, oh well, it is fun and nice to be able to mix around the people and meet more and new people!

ONE SHOCKING HEADLINES! JOSHUA CAO THE SCARY WIERDO, but extremely entertaining and funny, IS MY SENIOR CLASS! OMG! I heard he got his guitar confiscated by Alvin today because he was playing it outside his class. LOL! What a dork! But, comical, and would be very entertaining in the genre of comic relief. Haha!

Despite the saddening fact that my subjects are really hard, or so it seems to me, I am elated that my future has a ray of hope of happiness and joy! The hardships are like a gloomy day withdark clouds that loom above the land, pouring, torrential winds and rains torture and scar the land, trees uproot together with the upheavel of soil and earth by the gales of wind that sweep through the land. Yet like an infant’s smile, a warm ray of light, though weak by nature, flourished through the darkness, and in this darkest of hours, the land inhabitants embrace the lashing of the elements and march towards the ray of light, though weak, and thin, its warmth and hopefulness, when melded together with the joys and happiness one wishes to have and works towards their goals, will empower this ray of hope, expanding and reinforcing it, until it becomes huge, and it joins and melds other rays together with it. Then a bright light like that of never seen before will graze through the land, beaming through every dark nook and crany of the world below, bringing forth all the richness and goodness of the world in its fullness and rawness, not tinted even by a needle’s eye of darkness, only goodness is brought forth. Like a flower bud in spring, the life, mind, body, and soul of me, shall bloom fully, radiating life, liveliness, joy, compassion, love, and everything well and good in its name and meaning, and like a disease, infect every other person in this world, ridding all of any darkness one shall hold.

… Or at least that is my hope, prayer and wish.

Have a blessed night! Short day tomorrow! Everyone… ENJOY WHILE YOU CAN! LOL!
