Humanity. I believe that one day I may rise to power, be it in JC, NS or whatever that is in my great journey called life. And, when I am finally drunk in power and prestige, may this post serve as a reminder to me to always treat other people with humanity and compassion. Always follow my moral principles. Never discriminate, always treat people with kindness and respect. May the ideology I have now live with me forever.
I just watched a movie called ‘Coach Carter’. It was a dam good movie, about teamwork, resilience and getting your priorities right. WATCH IT! This movie pull your emotions to the peak at the appropriate moments. You can find the synopsis on Wikipedia. It is a bonus if you are interested in basketball.
This is my favourite scene
‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.’
I know that you are unwilling to donate but just give me 1 minute for I have a dream. It is a deeply rooted Singaporean dream.
I have a dream that one day Singaporeans will stand up as one united people to help those that need help.
I have a dream that one day the less fortunate people lurking at the corners of Bishan Street will receive compassion and acts of goodwill from people who are more fortunate.
I have a dream that one day Singapore, a desert country, sweltering with the heat of cruelty and ruthlessness will be transformed into an oasis of kindness and humanity.
I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be ignored and shamed when they try to persuade other people to donate but will instead be faced with enthusiasm and respect for they are the forerunners of humanity.
I feel that the days after the Os rocks, on the contrary to those who thinks that it is boring. I feel that grad night rocks, opposite to those who slept throughout the event. I strongly believe that whether or not an event is interesting or boring is all in the mind. ‘Variety’ is not caused by activities but mindset. Even simple pleasures like a jog in the park or re-reading a storybook can be interesting, as long as you open your mind and attempt them as a different experience, for every time you re-attempt or do these things again it is different. Because, there will definitely be a new revelation knocking on the doors in your mind, and as long as you open them, it will be a new experience.
So ask yourselves, what are you going to do for the rest of the holidays. For me, i am going to train a little, read a little, use the com for a while and go out every now and then. It has been a quick year, it is time to slow down. Let it be a long holiday.
And 5 more days to the unofficial ending of the o levels. =)
Though part of me don’t want the exam to end so quickly. I have this feeling that i screwed up some subjects. But then, i don’t think i screw up that badly to not get an a1. But, i am still dam scared, what if i didn’t get an a1? Ahhh… i am contradicting myself. I hope that i will do well.
If i mug like crazy and do well for the next few papers, i should be able to snatch a few more a1s. GOGOGO!
YAY! I had just completed my English compre practice on ‘Monsoon’, though, i really should have completed it two days ago. I hadn’t been really studying very hard since the start of the study break. So, for the next few days, i will choing like crazy. I am feeling super stressed up cus i have this feeling that everybody is choinging like crazy, so i better start now before it is too late.
The rest of the week, including today, will be split into two ‘Three Days Plan’.
1st ‘Three Days Plan’
1 compre + 1 compo everyday
Complete SS revision by… today! AHHHH!
Complete Geo revision by Thursday afternoon and start working on Bio.
2nd ‘Three Days Plan’ – Will be decided when it comes.
AHHHHHH! I better start working on SS now.
Today i invented something. It is called… ‘The Extra-Choco Milo!’ I think that there are people who had thought of it and tried it out, but no one obtained a patent for it, so it will be my invention.
The steps are simple. First, break off some dark chocolate taken out from the refrigerator ( Other kinds of chocolate will be fine, if you do not have any dark chocolate). Put it into a cup with some Milo powder. Then add some hot water. Mix it well, for at least 5 mins so that all the chocolate will melt. Then, tada, you made yourself an extra-choco Milo.
The Milo will look extra dark with some small bits of chocolate dancing on the surface. The aroma it releases excites your nostrils. You will stare curiously at the cup and wonder how does it taste after the ingenious addition. It will taste fantastic! Your stomach will bubble with satisfaction at that thought. You will lift the cup and take a gulp or two and you will realise that you wasted your 10g dark chocolate cus it tastes exactly like Milo, without the chocolate. All the chocolate had sank to the bottom of the cup.
Today is one of the days I will never forget in my life. I never expect it to come so quickly. It felt like a dream. Even now, I am still perplexed, did it really happen? Or is it merely a dream?
On the surface, it seemed like a really sweet dream. After the farewell assembly, we ( Class 4-1) stormed through 10 boxes of pizza in class (Thank you teachers!). There was so so so much pizza. We ate a lot and then took pictures around the class in all the various positions. Well, we would like to retain as many memories as possible. After that we went to play Frisbee and Bridge at Bishan Active. This is the first time in this 2 years that i see the class, as a whole, playing games together.
About 6pm, we gathered at Orchard and went to Sakura International Buffet to have dinner together. Personally it was a new experience as i never been there to eat before. But, what was more important is that we went out to have dinner as a class. I think that it was miraculous. We ate a lot. Then, we went to take an uncountable amount of pictures, talked about our feelings and funny experiences we had with each other in the past and played a game of ‘Truths’ were everyone will be asked a ‘disturbing’ question. They wasted there question on me. It was funny and interesting and a great revelation.
It seem like a really sweet dream. But, down deep inside, we know that it was a nightmare. It was like a strong pain killer given to a man on the verge of death. It is the inconvenient, cold, dark, inevitable truth that these are one of the last, most cherished moments of 4-1 2009. After this year, everything will merely become memories that will last a long long time but eventually fade away into nothingness. Personally, i am really indebted to class 4-1. My impression of 4-1 is a class of geniuses that can do well even without studying. I really regret feeling very sad for the first few days in 4-1, cus none of my sec2 friends are there with me. But, looking back, if i hadn’t went to class 4-1, i will not have made so much friends. I will be stuck with 4-9 and will not be where i am today.
I am starting to feel the heat; sleeping at 12am- 1 am everyday, wake up at 6, so that I can reach school on time to do an Eng compre every morning, tons of homework everyday… I would gladly give up anything for a few hours of revision, i have so much homework that there is no time to revise after completing them. Haiz… I never understood why people say that sec 4 is the most stressful year… until now.
Sleep is directly proportional to the number of days left before O levels.
To be exact, it is about 3 weeks away. I really need to work a lot harder. Please lord, encourage me, give me the strength, perseverance and courage to face the next few weeks.
Today, I have been really lazy, reached home at 5pm only to use the com, to read naruto and one piece, and to play mafia wars. Then, I went to sleep at 6pm, for 1.5 hrs and had dinner at 7.30pm. That means that i wasted 2.5 hrs of precious time that should have been used for studying! If only I can reverse time by turning back the minute and hour hands of the wall clock. Let me try…
Shit! It failed. My wall clock reads 5pm, so does my watch, but the sky is as dark as ever. Fine, I have to accept that it is 2.5 hrs lost. Now, i need to plan the next 3 hrs carefully to regain lost time. Lets look at the homework which I have to complete.
1. 1 exposition
2. Rewrite Prelim 3’s English essay and speech
3. 1 Math paper
4. 1 A Math paper
5. Bio worksheet
6. Chem worksheet
7. Phy worksheet
Think about it makes me want to puke. Some of them is really a waste of time. Can i don’t do Maths, A Maths and Physics?
Anw, outside homework, I suspect that is a new flu bug in school, or that it is the next wave of H1N1. A lot of ppl are falling sick. I hope that the bout of H1N1 I had in June will give me some partial resistance to this flu bug.
