I can see my jovial self in the reflection of the monitor as I type this post :razz: we have one more (and very irritating) Chemistry paper to go, and guess what it’s a miserable multiple choice question (MCQ) paper that doesn’t justify the extra one day added to our prelims timetable! The timetable committee should’ve place this paper on the same day as Chemistry paper 2 so that they’ll let us die with dignity (since for this time Chemistry prelim papers are out for a massacre!)… geez.
Oh yep, the invigilator for my class for Tuesday’s Chemistry paper 2 completely pissed me off. About 10 minutes from the start of the paper she started CONFISCATING our correction tapes / fluids claiming that students are not encouraged (how ironic, because she’s forcefully and probably unrightfully confiscating our stationaries) to use them during examinations. Hmmmm. After submitting the paper I chekced through the instructions and gosh they didn’t mention a single thing about “discouraging usage of correction tapes / fluids”. Nyargh. BUt it’s okay. If I didn’t do well for the paper I can blame her for unlawfully confiscating my stationary which caused grevious personal harm which indirectly led to my inability to think coherently…
And hmmm today’s Biology paper 3 is as hard as expected, but thank God the essay question is kind of a giveaway thing if you spent time memorising the comparison tables and the ethical issues on genetically modified organisms (what the hell now the paper sounds more like a GP paper!). After that the guys left for McDoanlds over at King Arthur Park, and I’m stupid enough to wait for lunchtime (because when we reach there McDonalds was still serving breakfast until 11am) while I stare at my friends munching down the tasty pancakes. Yikes, I should’ve ordered them.
Exam stuff aside, here comes my ramblings…
Anyway dad (and sometimes mom) reads this blog, and I’m kinda glad that they give me the freedom that caught me by surprise. According to most of my blogging friends who are somewhere around my age, their parents impose severe restrictions on their blogging activity, and in the end they have to self-censor their own blog posts which defeats the purpose of blogging. Don’t forget that you’re out there to tell people about your trueself (okay I know there are cyber psycho/perverts who conceal their real identities…) and not meticulously censored and filtered image of your ownself. So here is a big thanks for dad and mom for treating me like a grownup with his own ideas and thoughts, and at the same time respecting the freedom that I’m enjoying now :) thanks again!
I think there is one person with superpowers in my class, and he’s Robert. For some reason which I can’t really explain (instead of blaming it on my intelligence why not just say that Robert has superpowers?) he seems to be able to dig out the funniest of all videos from YouTube and share it on our classblog. Recently he dug up this video which contains snippets of clips from the famous American animated sitcom called The Family Guy. It’s flooded with sarcasm (so my warning is that it can be offensive to some) but isn’t that what (almost…) everyone is looking for? I tried searching for the video today but looks like YouTube has removed it. So I’ll have to use another one which shows how it parodied the movie Panic Room :mrgreen: it’s super funny!
[Edit] Looks like 2o0th Century Foxis having a lot of fun asking YouTube to remove videos featuring its copyrighted productions. Gah! I’m not blaming them because I do respect others intellectual property rights… I just blame the uploaders for giving us false hope. [/Edit]
I was flipping through my photo archive today afternoon and hey, I found this photo taken outside Midvalley Megamall in my home country (in case you still don’t know I’m not a Singaporean)…
I’m impressed by how much patience it takes for a Malaysian to live in his home country. Every morning you wake up to the blaring tunes of the cars, on the way to work you get stuck in a serious but common traffic congestion that stretches out beyond your sight, during lunchtime you have vehicle exhaust and soot as your complementary dessert, drink carbonated beverages (since all that carbon monoxide and dioxides get dissovled in them), and in the evening you spent an hour of your life waiting for your turn to pay toll, and another on waiting for the bottleneck wreck to clear up. Even on weekends when you decide to get a breather to go shopping, you’ll find yourself caught in traffic jams again…
Tomorrow is liberation day! Hiphip hurray!
Hi,
I chanced upon your blog ;)
Currently, my friend and me are helping and guiding o level(S3s included) students in answering any of the questions which they face challenges in.
It is a free service for everyone. If you have any qns on a-math,e-math & chemistry, feel free to scan those qns and email to
askalwayslovely@gmail.com
you may wish to pass on this msg to all your other friends as well.
All the best for your final lap!
Cheers,
alwaysLovely :)

lol. o levels.
well, it’s nice that your exams are ending. mine are just starting. so i have really yet faced any horrors of the exam scene.
my parents don’t really censor me on anything. so it’s cool for me. i don’t think my friends face that kind of censorship too. i guess our parents aren’t that computer-literate/ they’re just letting us do our stuff.
in brunei. traffic jams. well. let’s just say, we’d die in malaysian traffic jams easily.
Hi teddY :) Thanks for the visit and the comment, so sorry I have not stopped by but I have been very busy with Amanda starting preschool and such. Glad you’re tests are almost over. The people in the cars in that photo must have allot of patience, because sitting in traffic is not a fun thing.
Note: Internet freedom is ok as long as you are careful, it is not very wise to give to much personal info over the net, you never know who is reading – have fun but be safe
Have a great day teddY – will come back soon!!!
heya teddy. gee im not sure if my parents know i blog. i think they do, but they dont know whats the link. lol. its alright if they read. i post really random stuff all the time xp
i changed my layout! lol yes, again. i know i know, i got nothing better to do now that my break is on.
My parents are fine about blogging/the internet and shiz. Even when I was younger, now that I’m nearly 20 (eep!) they can’t really have a say in it!
alwayslovely: I will drop by if I have any questions! Haha! Anyway thanks for your best wishes!
jason: Those are just my preliminary examinations… the real thing is just one month away, which is really unnerving! I have quite a few friends who have parents monitoring every single move, including their lives on line! This is really freaky, and it reminds me of the dystopic Orwellian world (which portrays mass survellience)… thank God my parents are liberal enough! Hmmm so you mean that there are no traffic jams in Brunei? Lucky you!
Yunia: Hey you’re welcome :) All the best to Amanda for her preschool arrangements and lessons! I hope everything goes well for both Amanda and you! Ah wells even if you choose to be unpatient when being stuck in the traffic jam there’s nothing you can do right? Haha! So everyone learns how to be patient in my country… the hard way. I agree with your little note – it’s okay to say what you want, but watch out for being giving out way too much personal information and being conned by those scammers out there.
Rei: Hmmm well my parents know I blog because they are the ones paying for the domain name! Haha :mrgreen: anyway your blog doesn’t have any objectionable content so I think even the strictest, more conservative parents read it they’ll be just fine. Changing your blog layout is nothing but good! I wish I can change mine more often, but the subsequent bedlam and struggle with weird php errors is enough to make me feel content with the current one. Haha!
Han: Glad to know that! Anyway you’re matured enough to think and act for yourself, and be accountable for your own actions, so yep of course your parents will not intervene :razz: haha!
