MUGAMANIA

There s seriously a mugamania going on. In the school, in the class, everywhere. Scary to see such things happening. And the best thing to do now is simply to join the mugamania and scare everyone else. A better way than how viruses spread.

I kinda start to dislike Septembers and Octobers.
P6, pushing my head out of a manhole targetting all the top schools, boy schools and at least achieve a touching distance with my sister.
Sec 1 trying to prove that secondary school life s manageable.
Sec 2 streaming to get into the combination i wanted.
Sec 3 trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel with all the soccer, enjoying new life in long pants
Sec 4 simply pia-ing whenever possible making sure everything in the textbook is in that compact space in my skull. AND
Jc 1, salvaging all the mistakes i ve made in common test to fight to get promoted, stay in possibly the best class to be in in sa, and obtain a better looking report card.

WHEN WILL THIS EVER END?

A levels next year, sort of glad there s a 2 year academic break after that before deciding to embark on a life determining path. I have a path in mind but that path starts today. It starts IF Astroboy become my friend. Batman aint that bad, but he may not be enough to define this path.

SIGH

Enough of ranting. 13 years of continuous study - 13 out of 17. That s the Singapore education system just gotta accept it, nuff said.

Thursday was pretty fine. GP presentation was amazingly smooth. PE was chook? throok? chuke? ball i think chuke ball. Haha i gotta agree with zhengda that a chess game is more exciting. Ok maybe not. Maybe the court s too crowded or no interception makes it a super dead game. But it was probably a good game for the girls to have a laugh seeing me miss countless times. Actually it was 4 times only. I just cant seem to have a proper feel of the ball, it s not heavy, not light just weird. A full power shot doesnt gurantee an accurate shot. Anyway i gave up shooting.

Went for math remedial. Differentiation questions were pretty difficult. Was lost easily maybe coz Gabs kept ka jiaoing me with the integration questions. Clarified those doubts with Tim after the whole thing. It was just a session of 'OHH i see.. 'Anyway i figured out i shouldnt spend so much time on integration, since it s only 10 marks. Overall it was a good day, started well ended well.

Today, assembly was inspirational. Video about a baby called Joel (jewel) was involved in a murder planned accident and he was burned 80% (lol except diapers). Lost his fingers, toes and was disfigured. However, the way he views life is really touching. He s wise, considerate, matured, magnanimous. Even with his disabilities, he s still happily married.

We should be contented with what we have.
Hatred only brings about misery.

How true. A pure heart of gold is what matters most. Physical appearance is just superficial.

PE was cancelled. But i still ran 2.4km. Personal best 9.40. I could have pushed harder towards the end but i m contented with this.

Math after school again. Wasnt as productive but still, it was better than nothing. Simply brain-drained. Went out for dinner with family to AMK hub and some grocery shopping. Nice relaxation that i sorely missed. Finally some family bonding after a long time. Refreshing despite being dead tired.



Smiling all da way. And it s that gaze again.
