memories...

today i finally had to agree with the whole class's judgment that willie is really a prick or irritant or thorn-in-everyone's-ass,or whatever you deem apt.it was aggravated especially since i had just got down to pizza for dinner.been real months since i had pizza.

Willie,"Wei tomolo u going to school mah?"
Me,"tmr is sunday.monday got paper two then i got go la"
Willie,"so what time you going tomolo?"
Me,"tmr i not going!!!grr.."
Willie,"Wa lao...Why?You can ask me maths la..."
Me,"no"

firstly,he must be mad.tomorrow is sunday.and he wants me to go to school to teach him geography.(i forgot who,but there was this guy who liked to use firstly.the secondly or thirdly would be nonexistent.)secondly,why does everyone think my geog is so good?doesn't everyone say that geography is of pure common sense?it does say much about much of everyone's common sense doesn't it,if u determine so by your results?everyone says it's easy,but not many score well.no,i'm just commenting on my classmates' overconfidence..it's quite worrying.oh yes,my secret to getting a1 always,if u still are persistent,is to read the textbook ONLY.i never read marriane chong's 'extras'.that's why i'm pissed whenever i see foreign terms never previously encountered.cos there won't be such stuff in the actual O levels itself.still,everyone who boasts of having finished both of marriane chong's books will usually never get good grades still.see,i told you to read the textbook only.no one listens to me.back to willie.being an irritant seems to be his inborn personality.no one can blame him.but he can be a good friend too.it depends on how you treat the people around you.people usually won't touch you if you treat them with respect.if u fail to comply,then they are disturbed and will be more prone to mistreating you.

and yes,another pertinent problem with me again.i have acknowledged that i have three groups of friends.first group is those people who have only heard me converse in english,second is purely in chinese,third group is those who have heard me speak in both english and chinese.(speak can be replaced with 'inclined to thinking that i can only speak in whichever of the two languages.)this has been quite an old problem for me.in primary school,i would have thought my english was quite bad,though decent.that also applies to my way of speaking english.i think i still had some kind of sickening singaporean english accent.oh ya,in primary three i had quite some malay classmates,so naturally i would enjoy an occasional malay accent too.i continued to have some more malay classmates all the way till primary six.so that was like the industrial revolution.everyone started to drop their accents,or at least the malay schoolmates i knew,perhaps due to the fact that we were from the top class,so naturally they would have done it.so everyone's english improved lots at that time.all the while speaking much of chinese,i finally booted it in primary five perhaps,after streaming.then i came to catholic high.i hadn't studied much for the psle....cos in those days everyone was quite complacent.i only remember studying for chinese.tian xie han zi was real important in those days.then i got 246 for my aggregate.i had put catholic high as my first choice,and i still remember seeing the cut-off entry was 244.heh.lucky?or perhaps i knew where i would find the stone i threw?my first class,2-1 was bad.i actually was bullied for those two years there,cos of this word i had already grown to despise in my primary school days.clique.there would be this chinese speaking lot,altogether about 10 members at least who always stuck in some turtleshell formation.this was a damn rowdy bunch and to explain the meaning of friendship would be like to get blood out of stone.nevertheless,i will never forget the good too.not everything in the world is rotten.i still remember hurling crushed pieces of paper at each other across the classroom during ms zalinah(now mrs ang lol)'s science lessons.while she turned her back to write stuff,it was a battlefield behind her back.and occasionally she would turn around(she still didn't know what happened) to ensure we were copying her stuff down dutifully.we were all so good actors.she never knew what happened.but that was the first few times.slowly she began to see what was really happening,due to some stray missiles that caught her attention even as the participants switched modes from combat to study mode stealthily.hahaha.seems damn silly right?sec 1 and 2.that was the life then.(of course,warfare did evolve,from just handthrowing of items to usage of rubber bands to increase range and maximise damage from just a piece of paper.)

then came sec 3.came to hate it.a bunch of brutes,in a nutshell.this class was more rowdy.cliques were still existent.damn it.i had chosen triple science,combined science,then double science during sec 2 streaming.and i got into combined.after i regretted,i filed an appeal to go to another double science class.of cos i was eligible to enter double actually.just that during sec 2 my logic pattern was most fuzzy.the appeal was half-successful.how so?well,i had been rightfully transferred into double science stream officially,but the class was still the same.i then discovered,much to my pleasant surprise,that 10 or 11 of us in that horrid class filed similar appeals.that led to a splinter group of 10 double science and 30 combined science students.the 10 mostlt stuck with the 10.vice versa.a great difference between these two groups:the 10 were more reserved and not as crazy.however,this rowdy bunch wasn't a chinese oriented one though.it was all english speaking ppl.somehow,my english shot up tremendously in this class.no one spoke chinese much anymore.good that is was so.

sec 4...hmmmm got switched to 4/2.which i had been supposed to belong to originally.this is the best year of all these 4 years.the ppl are friendly here,and the whole class enjoys making fun of each other.and often we inspire nationalism by making fun of the chinaman and the 18 year old academically disinclined hongkonger.he once asked me how to pronounce scenario and what it meant.in terms of language,this class was more of 3/8.principally english at heart.cool.and maybe that's why there are people who think i can't speak chinese,or think i'm westernized in my ideas.there is of course,another group who had the (unfortunate) luck of hearing my hokkien or teochew san zi jing recitals.well,everyone enjoys a good laugh out of that,so i'm glad.i'll never forget quite a few incidents,where i was supposed to be offended but i over-reacted and turned into a madman.actually when i told you all it was my acting you all still weren't convinced.that was quite amusing actually.my acting was that good.

O levels.they are here but i'm still so carefree.it doesn't bother me much at all.at this point of time,what you know,you will know,no use cramming all so much in so little time.so i'm taking it very coolly.no stress.no need to feel contrite.i still remember the days in sec 2 when just one week prior to streaming exams,choon wee and jun hao and me went to arcade to destress.it worked well.but i never studied after that.and i got into double science.similarly,if i don't study now,i will get into a decent jc.but if i do i will then be able to get into the top jcs...
