school is boring today man. that is god's own truth. i nearly rotted in class but my partner in crime, sara was there to save the day. by keeping me entertain, especially during history. kudos to him man.
well, chinese class was not that boring today and is not as horrible as how some others picture it. as we only had a 15mins lesson before she let us off. haha and it was hilarious seeing people running away from classes and being smug about chaoing classes especially if it is chinese class. it is way amusing and i cant help but be amused. ooh. and we ended off the day with dinner at Sakae Sushi. yum yum. i guess if we were to stay longer there, they would run at a lost. :P
escaping class is nothing.
it is not an art.
neither is it a skill.
it requires neither skills nor brains.
all you have to do is just to pack your bag and walk out of school. if you get caught by teachers all the best to you. but if you don't, you are just plain lucky so jus go carry on doin what you are suppose to do and don't gloat about it as someday it will come back to haunt you.
i admit that i am a veteran in escaping from classes. this is something that i went through in secondary school and refined in MI. and i dun feel smug about it. why? it is jus a normal routine that i do frequently last year and not this year. coz there is more freedom in here as compared to secondary school. guess the reason that some people get a high from running away from class is that they have never done before. it is just like drinking for the first time. totally inexperience? totally amateurish? and you will develope an addiction to it overtime. but i guess everyone will have this feeling sometimes and they are entitle to it. amazing eh how escaping class can make a person feel smug?
reflecting about the past
last year, i ran away from classes with a few other like-minded "liberals", we were never really caught and punished.....
i remember an incident back when i was still new to the school, it was during teacher's day. Mark, Nat, Davis, Khai and i escape school to go back to secondary school and we were caught as the teachers tallied their attendance. back then we thought tat we will get punished. but guess what, we were told to write an apology letter for running away.
another incident took place last year, when i returned from my trip to Canada. i escaped all the literature lessons that were taught by Toh Tuck Campus teachers and i was never caught till nearing promotional exams. and that was a mistake on my part as i ran away on the day that many others choose to run away too.
these are only a few of the many incidents whereby i escape from school.
most of the time that i ran away from school was not to go home and rest. rest was probably the last thing on my mind back then. but rather to dedicate these precious moments to the two thing that took my youth away- NCC & Her. thinking about it now, i do not regret my actions as i have served to the best of my ability as my creed demands and putting others' interest above my own. "my cadets first always, myself last always" i have also forged a great relationshop with whoever that i choose to spend that special time with. :) however, i strongly urged others not to follow in my footsteps and do it over and over again as it becomes an indulgence that we can ill afford as we prepare for our A Levels Exams this year. as quoted by joy tan "it is only 10months more till your A's, if you minus off the holidays and weekends, you do not have much time to prepare." but escaping from class and goin home is not the option however much these people may beg to differ. studying hard do not gurantee you an A level pass. a tried and proven theory that have claim many victims over the years.
some of us are not what you will call a "hardworking" student, we are probably a teacher's worst nightmare. i myself was probably joy tan's worst student and she always gets stress up and fed up over me. resulting in myself being known as her favourite student. i do mind it. getting attention from teachers is not what i want to achieve. i don't really care if it is good or bad attention. to me, attention is attention, doesn't matter good or bad. what is the point of being happy jus because the teacher pays special attention to you? the world do not centre around you. all teachers treats the students the same way. interesting it doesn't give me a top of the world feeling but it gives some this feeling. YAY! You are on your way to getting a A. haha. *rolls over laughing. oops :) i dun mind sayin hi to teachers and even talk cock with them but sucking up to them? nah. i believe in getting all these done through results which of coz i have achieve. otherwise i would not have dare post this here. it will be very embarassing if refuted. you still have quite a number of people to beat if u wanna get there. :) dun be sad. some day, some time, some how, you will do it. well, joy tan is now on perfect terms with me because i have proven myself together some others namely, Sara, SK, Dom, Teranz. this is how you should do it.
haha. a funny incident i remember. Benny lim always think that sara and i have alot of breaks. because we keep walkin up and down, up and down, with no bags and at a leisure pace. and he never fail to ask us "break again" initially i thought "wth, picking on us again, nothing to do." but as i think about it now. i guess he is jus tryin to forge a teacher-student relationship with us. and he is taking the first step. communication is the way. well, i think he ROCKS. same can be said for Joy Tan. She ROCKS too. impression do change over time. :)))
once upon a time, we were tipped to get retain as we miss many valuable lessons and we keep failing everything. no teachers had faith in us passing and being there at year 3. i admit that spurred me on to study as it created a seige mentality. what spurred me on even more to study too was the many study sessions that i had with yue yun, i guess she is really my motivation. i have never studied so hard over such a long period before. retaining is not an option for me. and when it comes to studies, i do not twist the truth. when i say i never study, i really never study unlike some people who just cant help but lie to one's own friends. so don't accuse me of doing something that i obviously have not.
and guess what! lady luck was really shining very brightly on us, we manage to make it through. while others have to struggle through and it is not normal others that i am talkin about here but rather people who have studied piously throughout the year and they are whom we, slackers consider them as hardworking muggers. but i have my doubts. it could be due to exam pressure that they are unable to perform or it could jus boil down to the fact that they are just plain dumb and have a shocking lack of common sense to understand the question. but WAIT, these people are not prone to having pressures and breakdown as they have opening admit. so i must give them the benefit of doubt. which means that my 2nd suggestion could be correct. they are just dumb and lack common sense. in other words, they are just like any typical student, lumping all the points down without considering whether it is relevant or not.
not that i look down on them, or i am feeling damn cocky over this, as it is the general impression that one will get upon readin this comments. the point that i am tryin to put across is that what matters is what you study and how you apply it. listening in class and teacher teaching are jus gateways, opening you up to the entire topic. how you walk that route is totally up to you. it matters not if you study all day and you study all night. so what? does it really mean a thing? ya. you do know your topic. Congratulations! but quality answers are always prefer over quantity answers. and these is what some of my classmates both former and present fail to understand, resulting in mediocre marks or total failure. it is a very simple logic. common sense can intepret it.
our history teacher, benny lim commented "it is the attitude that matters" if you set your mind to doin it. you can. i agree with him on that as attitude really matters in everything you do. "with the right attitude, you can achieve" is one of the values that my secondary school, St Gabriel's tried to instill in us. i believe this to be true as i quote an NCC example, my Part Ds put in a very positive attitude, never giving up even if the odds are against them and they have achieve much, making a name for themselves and winning many medals along the way.
i do not regret what i blog about here and i will blog about worst stuffs if ever the need arise as it is a freedom of speech out here. some people would have that impression that this is a start of a blog war. well, it is not. these people know who you are. and it is not jus an individual but individuals.
if you are interested in knowing more whoever you are, jus come straight to my face and i will tell u exactly what i think and what i feel, coz i dun really care about how or what you think. if you make me out to be the guy that i am. you are wrong. i can be real nasty if i want to, jus that i treat you as my friend or peer and refrain from doin it. i can treat you as a cadet of mine :) . but intimidation and instilling of fear is not the way to build bonds and friendship. :)
but as we all know, results in school do not matter much as it will not be counted in our final A levels Cert. :)
