The world contains quite a lot of people, from the highest in the social ladder to the lowest, so much that we think that we are unable to handle them and thus no human is truly happy. What we do not know is that our world revolves only around 8-9 people and we only need to handle these 8-9 people to be happy. However, what we do not know again is that to handle these 8-9 people properly, it will take all your life.

Biology: 74 A2
Chemistry: 80 A1
Physics : 86 A1
Chinese : 70 A2
English : 73 A2
A Maths : 70 A2
EMaths : 76 A1
Literature : 77 A1
SS/Hist: 57 C5

L1R5: 8
Average: 73.688...
Average for L1R5: 77.66....

Notice how one subject can pull the average down...haiz... SS/Hist top in class is only a B3, how to score.....Still at least my L1R5 is still a single digit thanks to lit, the most unexpected result I've got. IEP was quite fun, 2 days of archery left me a suntan and lots of fun, never expected archery to be so and our tennis court wall will be the reminder for our memories.....

All animals are equal but some are more equal than others
Physics: 86 A1
Chinese: 70 A2
English: 73 A2

Highest possible L1R5: 7

sianz.... above is a reivew of wat I got back on fri. apparently 7 is impossible as the msg for SS/Hist is 5 point something and the highest a B3, thus we can deduce that some ppl failed, haiz... its always like that when u get back paper.... CO resumed on Fri with us playing the same old stuff again, but todae ZJ made an announcement that we are going to play fei tian, looking forward coz its super zai. Performance is confirmed on 18th dec at SCH, so I'll most prob miss it, so sad will be at percussion fest.

" I thought that...." This phrase is so often used by all of us, seems to be an excuse, a pretext, yet as always, life is an irony, and thus it is a method of avoiding reality, responsiblity or even the simplest courage to face up. In chinese, this is known as " hai2 yi3 wei2 ...." Well for those from RI, should have seen a essay on this by our dear KJX, yes, he added a touch of romantic irony and plays on our sympathy for the beautiful misunderstanding, still the point comes across. We always think we know wat will happen and it will be according to how we imagine it, yet life itself is constantly proving us wrong, still we are unwilling to accept, to face up, still using " I thought that..." Perhaps its human nature, but the point is too much have been lost becoz of human nature and if we continue, we might lose even more things. So lets not be like the girl in the essay who thinks that silence is rejection and lets not be like the boy that is afraid to confess his crush. Instead, lets be like the telephone, in which it does not think too much, live life in liberty....

What can ail thee, knight at arms
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge is withered from the lake
And no birds sing


Just thought tht the poem is suited with the music.hmm....well, it also reflects todae's so called comm meeting. It was rather productive but still we failed to cut the main prob ( qie1 ru4 zhen4 ti2 ). The prob of the collaboration is still not solved though a couple of minor probs, then we starting learning the laws of physics by playing billard. Well, to sum up todae, its more play than work, not that i mind, but efficiency is still expected. Just realised todae tht writing on blog could have serious repercussions, shldn tok so much....haiz.....

With sadness, then we are able feel happiness

Mathematics is an universal language, Music is an international language, Politics is an intranational language, English is an inter-racial language, Care is an inter-friends language but ultimately, love is human language....

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

A Far Cry from ME (improvisation from A Far Cry from Africa by Derek Walcott)

A wind is ruffling
the usual peace of the school.
Students, quick as flies
eyes glued on the book in front
Notes are scattered on the table
Only the slacker, failure of exams, cries:
"Waste no compassion on this useless knowledge!"
Statistics justify and teachers seize
The salients of exam policy
What is that to the innocent student piled with stress?
To educators, expendable as litter

Surrounded by four walls, the air-con blows
In a silent creepy hall where noise
is prohibited to the maximum level
From Bishan or anywhere in Singapore
The exams of the education system is read
As natural law, but upright graduates
seek their divinity by inflicting homework
Stressed as these delirious innocence, his study plans
Clashes with the pre-planed schedule of the school
While he calls courage still the innocent dread
Of the frightening exams contracted by the MOE

Again brutish necessity wipes its hands
Upon the napkin of a dirty cause, again
A waste of our compassion, as with exams,
The gorilla wrestles with the superman,
I who am poisoned with the blood of both,
Where shall I turn, divided to the vein?
I who have cursed
The mad person who invented exams, how choose
Between studying and failing?
Betray them both, or give back what they give?
How can I face such stess and be cool?
How can I turn from exams and live?



Well...Exams are over and i have 6 daes to enjoy meself before going back to sch to be demoralised. Anw, exams aren't that hard cept for a few papers, just hope that L1R5 would not be too high, best if its a single digit:) Just and interesting thought : Is the coffin too big for the hole or is the hole too small for the coffin? Take the coffin to be our expectations and the hole to be the reality. Are our expectations of life too large for reality and is reality too small to hold our expectations. The higher you aim, the higher you fall.....think bout it
