First of all, thanks Aileen for subtly reminding me about this blog. It's great to see how frumpish my style of writing was a year ago. Just great :)


So I'm updating my blog. The dead blog supposedly resurrected for nothing since nobody's been coming to this page anyway. But it's nice to just rant and rave on the internet, which I have unconsciously been doing for the past two years in bukumuka. Ah well.


You know the feeling when you look at your former peers and think to yourself: 'I wish I were them'? When you look at your friends enjoying themselves post PMR playing chor dai di, pranking teachers, playing pat pat revenge or whatever that is on the iTouch. You'd wish you were them. Especially when you've got major exams coming up real soon while recovering from the shock of just missing an A+ for Maths. I can't help but think about that each time I pass by Katholik by bus, sobbing uncontrollably as I prepare for yet again another gruelling session with Physics.


Jokes aside though, Alice Smith has been a most enriching experience for me. Life's really different from CHS in many ways. The Malay standard's much lower than Malay lit (hah), while going for English classes feels like a chore when you have to in return get pwned by Caucasians of superior level. Teachers really treat you like adults, and aren't so worried to rant about their low pay (especially during business studies) as opposed to us getting lower results compared to students of their own peers. So you'd be wrong to say that there's no competitiveness in this school. Well yeah in a way, it's really fiery between the kiasu ones during exams, while the weaker guys just stare at their paper blankly. Thankfully very few in our year.


 Friends are interesting as well. I've seen people from private schools who are just whacking grades month by month. Well more notably the Singaporeans who are getting near-perfect results regardless of which exam. Heck if you're getting solid A*s for practically every exam, you know you're pretty darn good. Relationships are much more open. Couples can kiss right in front of a teacher walking past like it's the zillionth time he's seen that. Still it's refreshing to watch these people bring some life to the school (along with some really awkward moments as well). Couples in government schools are generally plain dull IMHO.


I've just realised how much I've been on the computer, and spending nearly nil outdoors. Like everybody's going swimming, tennis and whatnot during Saturday mornings while I'm slugging it out on differentiation and trigonometric identities in tuition. Guess I can't wait till November. Then shall my weekly torture of Yamaha piano classes disappear before my eyes (albeit a final ABRSM hurdle in April). After that shall I adjourn to Bukit Kiara to hit tennis balls against the wall. Err anyone of you play tennis? :D


Guess I have to keep my future posts shorter. I have the time because mum & dad's out for Lobo's concert in Genting (google the old man). And I'd have to confess that I missed Adam Lambert's concert because I didn't know the date. And my dad would die of his excruciating gayness *gets splattered by rotten tomatoes*. I'm a really harsh critic on mainstream music, though actually quite fond of Secrets and The Only Exception. Maroon 5's a really good band as well. Some of the good music still surviving. :)


I have to admit, blogging is fun. Definitely much more productive than bragging on berkicau about the wagyu steak you had for breakfast and your fifth Ulysse Nardin Chairman after losing your fourth. And ASS peeps, I'd love to follow your blogs as well, whether you still update them or not. ;)


Oh holy manure, add math homework...
