Aftermath
i'm so sorry once again,waye ning.i did something terribly stupid,and it shall always be on my mind as a constant reminder of my rashness and immaturity.nevertheless,u promised that we shall be friends forever,so make good ur word :D
hehe i got back my results today.from raw expected of 20,it jumped to 14.i'm quite confused as to how they did it too,but i shall attempt to explain.this time,the only moderation that happened was,to our surprise(we expected largescale moderation) of english-added 10 marks,and A maths added 5 marks,and combined humans 3 marks and geog possibly 3 marks too.that's all for moderation.this time,they just took our prelim 3 results.
ah well,but i'm quite content with this time round,not that i'm entirely happy with it-i'm aiming for much better marks actually.i'm bored,and i want ppl to criticize me so i'm going to post my
results here.but i'm very tired-emotionally and physically,so dun blame me if i dun talk sense or if i talk with little sensitivity nowadays.my eq is at an all-time low i think.

Percentage 69.7,Class position 16/32,Level position 212/362
Got my report book in some weird ceremony...they call it the farewell assembly.actually it was when we watched this powerpoint slideshow about all the form teachers displaying what they want to say to their students.it was all so touching actually(herrick has emotions,he doesn't show them) but not enough to cause me to tear...until the part about mr yong kwang hei's passages...i almost cried.when i saw it"Catholic High School students are:bla bla as follows" then i was shouting, "yuan yin,yin xiang,jue jie fang fa!" haha...can't be blamed,since that's what i heard him say much of the time.then he went on to academic aspect,moral aspect,etc.when that was over,my heart felt heavy,that's all,but well,days in cat high...abruptly come to an end...one day it will,so this was the day.but we're still coming back to schule to study for next weeks actually lah..but yea this was official dismissal of us.
guessed i sounded tard when mrs long came in front of me,yu xian,andre and asked us,so how,happy or not?the two as usual,never talk much.so i extra,say HAPPY!then she like okay good,work hard...that kind of thing lor,hahaha....after that i got to see a few glum faces lah,and some emotionless faces too.i just kept smiling.but i know i deserve better.heh i went to nyjc open haus after that.after much hesitation on wenjie and junhao's part,i decided to depart with andre.yea he's always been my good friend.sad irony that i only got his hp number today,which is damn weird.i had thought well of the jc,but when i got there,it was reversed,sad to say.he had justin ooi with him,so we trio went along.when we got there,we were quite alone(first to cheong there after dismissal,while the rest were feasting on the (FREE!) reception in the school.why we didn't want to have it?low-class.fine i'm damn ban qing gao.)erm yea,on the way there,we saw ppl leaving the compound.they were from neighbourhood schools.so andre had some prejudice like'what?so many neighbourhood schools?" kind of thing,which was to become evident...but when they walked pass us,i would usually hear catholic high.of cos they were saying something like"cat high also come here?hahahahahaha...."and i heard that from two nyjc girls actually(what?again?).this time,andre was quite offended already,so he returned them a silent f*ck.when we got there,andre was quite occupied with looking out for people from better schools.haha,he was quite pleasantly surprised when he saw a profuse amount of cedar girls sashaying here and there in their little petite cliques.so naturally,his reaction was"cedar girls?so many of them?hahahahahaha...".somehow i guess that most of the people would have noticed green shorts,making us stand out,so they must have thought of that stupid idea again.hahaha...actually i could have avoided all that crap.according to andre who when asked by justin how much i got and why i was there,"He got 14 lah,come here to extra extra only."and that's why i dun deserve all that condescension actually.but that doesn't bother me.i felt good cheating those ppl.they must have been thinking hahaha what a loser to be found here.but why i was there in the first place?to just see stuff lor,and compare the standards.i'm going to AJ's open house tmr,and definitely i will not be disappointed in comparison to what i saw today.the pupils were tired,disinterested in the proceedings,gave a lacklustre performance.well,i guess they didn't score too well for their exams and maybe are staying back 1 more year.the whole place was a bit old and dilapidated and at times creepy...i dunno what else to say.i guess i've deterred most people not to go there by this post already.but it's not for me.i really didn't see anything to convince me to go there.nor hear anything to convince me.just heard very out-of-tune numbers the students themselves sang.bad singing to a choir boy?haha.they're gone.i dun really like listening to chinese music,but i knew the songs lol.andre said"herrick go up there and thrash them!".then i said yea,but gimme the lyrics!i know the tunes lah,but never cared about the words hehehe.but i wun be so thick-skinned to go there and convert the mike to my allegiance :D
a fairly interesting day,cos i had a long talk with mrs lee too.she was at last convinced that i wasn't going to cjc,which is a good thing.cos that day she was telling me all the merits of cj.but all the while,i was aware of the ability of cj ppl to zhuo ren,so i didn't think much of what she said.but i never wanted to be there,nayvar.then i had asked her how she thought of nyjc.she said quite good too,caring environment,very nice teachers...yea that kind of thing.but it's got to be more than that.i'm going to AJC's open house tmr.and i am quite interested to go there.been there several times for choir concerts(sang with them and listened to them).dun get me wrong.i never liked singing.i do it cos i have to,which is characteristic of low-lives.why would i want to go there then?cos it's in top 5,or someothers dispute about to be.and quite a significant proportion of ppl there are from cat high.so if i get there,it's easier to blend in.(i'm a good blenny)moreover,with my 14,i need just some luck hopefully to get in.otherwise it's really like NY already...

rant-
poor mr danny tan sprained his ankle and still came to school to deliver a lecture.well,i was probably laughing when i saw poor mr tan,but i dun mean it.still,nobody's going to believe me nor be convinced.fine.i was quite bad also,making fun of him that he was dancing at zouk(as i had just found out from zang the previous lesson) and excessive dancing caused him to slip and fall.it was amazing that zang told me danny often went with angeline(flirts!woot!).but their both young so it's okay to be socialites lah..hahaha!!!but he shouldn't go too often with her lah...mrs angeline tay is married leh..and then i heard buzzing from somewhere behind me(not that i was interested to know) that mr tan often went to paragon's california fitness...oh well...even boys nowadays like to gossip(my sis prefers the classy 'sharing of information' to replace gossip).i'm wondering,how many cat high people are actually going to be successful.quite a good number is now irrationally obsessed with playing table tennis.what is the school coming to?start of year,dig was "welcome to catholic high shopping centre".end of year,dig is "welcome to catholic high sports school"oh yes,that idea of a sports school was actually brought up by the rattling mr lee hak boon,not me.i think the idea of setting up so many tables for gameplay was meant originally for students to relax after a whole day's load of stress.now,the problem is in great magnitude.people,stressed or not,exam-ing or not,having lessons or not,are just wielding their bats and showing off.catholic high-excels in showmanship.if you know what i mean.pose and pose,but poseurs have no brains,no life,no intelligence.look good all you want.not forgetting ur barbaric traits.so many people making rackets of noise here and there,i just wonder if we ever set up cheerleading teams,we'd definitely own!
oh well,last year's average was 11.1. this year.expect no more of this.but i'm still trying my best to preserve our seniors' success.
P.S. sitting in a corner does not mean you're anti-social.think i rather call myself autistic,but i'm not.wheeennyy whiinnny......*slaps face* ok let's continue our fourth(or fifth i'm not sure) english passage.method of crash-teaching anglais?backfiring.good luck.i refuse to do most of my work.

why the chicken crossed the road..
Ever wonder why the chicken crossed the road?
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.
RONALD REAGAN: What chicken?
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hardworking American.
BILL CLINTON: That depends on what your definition of "did" is.
GEORGE BUSH JR: I don't know, but I'll tell you this: That chicken may run, but it can't hide. God bless America.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes! The chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told!
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.
GRANDPA: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Someone told us that the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.
FOX MULDER: Did you actually see it cross the road? Or did you suddenly notice that it had appeared on the other side? You think you saw it cross the road, but that's an illusion. How many more chickens have to appear before you believe it?
FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken Millenium Edition, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book, and Internet Explorer is an inextricable part of eChicken.
EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?LOUIS FARRAKHAN: What color was the chicken? If you do your research, you will find that it was a white chicken. Roads are always black. The road, you will see, represents the black man. The chicken crossed the "black man" in order to trample him and keep him down.
THE BIBLE: And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.
JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what "they" call it: the "other side." Yes, my friends, that chicken was gay. And, if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." That chicken should not be free to cross the road. It's as plain and simple as that.
COLONEL SANDERS: You mean I missed one?!
haha.sorry wayening i thought it was kirby lol...now i know it's James T. Kirk...

non-standard
my sis got a new phone today!oh my!that was to replace the ageing 3310 that i had gave her that my ageing grandfather had given me circa a year and a half ago.it's so much better than my lousy siemens A60 lor!!!she got the panasonic X66. i admit i dunno how power that is, but it has a camera!which my phone lacks!!!grrr....it's so fun lol....while at lunch i took a photo of my sis covering her mouth,which was so natural and cutezz!!then for revenge's sake she took a photo of me drinking lol...she's intending to use it as her wallpaper to show the (around 5) boys and sadly, 1 girl who are jio-ing her now, for reasons that are obvious. she and i si bei suay.not too long ago, some guy liked me.which is puke-inspiring.then that day she gave me a letter someone gave her.so i looked at it....contents were roughly like "i've been in love with you for 9 whole months.i know you're going to find this hard to accept,but i really like u...gimme a chance".At that point of time i was like.....aiya....some boy again right?who?but then i noticed the signature had the impression of some girl she knew...but i still didn't believe it was a girl.then she said it was!ahhh bad luck to my family.wa lao i'm so proud of her...got up to 30 boys liked her...so much that even lesbians were attracted to her...which is not something to be proud of lah.oh well, i decided to use non-standard english here cos it's not mentally healthy to be so serious always mah.you'll go poof and koko crunch you know. okay that is simply lame.what are we so serious for?life's to be enjoyed, and way to do that is to learn how to halt in our tracks...so here stops me.

intellect versus intelligence
yesterday while at ss lecture, i was so bored.but i went there with a purpose,that was to learn stuff.sounds lame,but it was the first time i had a goal for a lesson.it's due to my disappoiting results this time.well, i finally came to terms with what i usually did for ss.which was to just enter the exam thinking i had everything i had to get like 17 at least.serves me right,i was wrong this time.i knew very well that i had not the source-based questions' skills at all.they're all in a blur.which is why i'm currently preparing some sbq notes.i hope i can finish it soon...gimme ur comments if u get it from me:)
erm ya the lesson became boring and uninteresting in a while...so to entertain me and my adjacent friends,namely wei da and choon wee, i started scribbling in my 'atrocious'quoth:mr danny tan and 'aesthetically displeasing'quoth:me handwriting.so i started the paper with some notes actually lah...they were quite decent,until my vandalism screwed the whole paper up and down.don't know if it's ruthless babble,but this was what i jotted down.(added some views of a great friend:D)
"Intellect versus Intelligence"(sounds exciting?)
'Respective as in above'
-able to see big pictures/get approximate values, compared to -able to get A1s
-admired by majority, compared to -despised by intellectuals
-Don't have to tell people what they are made up of, compared to -think they are smart
-have generally better command of their languages, compared to -mediocre mastery of languages/or perhaps not bothered with such
-critical thinking a characteristic, compared to -good memory(read:muggers)
-u are slower in grasping concepts,but u catch up, compared to - u started before the siren went off!okay maybe more hardworking :P
-u are less focused on priorities and indulgence is quite a hobby though u deny it, compared to -u have ur goals nicely set before you,headstart again yup.
-you think you're an intellectual, compared to -you don't need to think;inapplicable.go mug.
-you're actually some social outcast, compared to -you look better than the typical intellect,perhaps that is why u are more popular than them.
-you're just a weirdo and u prefer people to call u by nicer names, compared to -everyone thinks you're normal; you know you're not.
-you specialise in some unique areas,which is why u will still shine, compared to -you're just a government clone;you know all the policies well,evidence of ur mugging prowess.
okay i just hate people who think they are intelligent.and i hate muggers!!!especially those imported goods with the imprint "made in (the Communist Republic of)China".why can't singaporeans study in peace amongst fellow singaporeans?why bring in people with those acid sweat and monk head smell(there ain't a proper term,i'm just basing on impressions :D), and those never brush their teeth before and after going to bed(or more mugging). i mean,i'm just presenting the truth in a very bad light lor.but truth hurts.yea not forgetting their mannerisms and hygiene kind of thing.maybe it's cos the educated Chinese in the cities know there's no need to send propagate themselves here.just that singaporeans like to recruit those countryside folks...
