Congrats, I just went running 3.0KM (physics say decimal place must accurate wor), at a very ghostly timing of 9:30pm I set off. What a weird timing for running. And yes, there were still people running. and the entire track (which is behind my house, aka drain route), turns into *doggy land*!
Poof, Doggy land!. kawaii ne? My foot. Not cute at all. In my entire 3.0km run Ive met at least 10 different dogs of different shape and sizes and each one greeted me with it's own unique pose.And some scaring the daylights out of me. Excuse me, but guys can be scared of dogs and I don't see anything wrong with that. Okay, at least I am brave enough to act brave. Pardon the pun..
The lane was totally engulfed in smelly dog poo smell, and that is extremely hazardrous to runners. Imagine this, when running, you gotta control your breathing (and that affects your pacing alot, mind you). and when you take a *deep* breathe you breathe in nothing but dog poo. Interesting? Not! Disgusting!
And yes, fortunately, almost all the dogs were leshed up, and I feel rather safe, but note that the keyword is "almost". Some dogs are left to roam the lane, and now, how would I not feel intimiated anyway?
And just to recall, Ive been chased by a huge dog once at night in a similar retarded situation when I decided to go running for fun at such weird timings. And yes, it did run extremely fast and being abit slow in thinking, I reacted by running away! And nope, I did not get bitten, and somewhat I got outrunned but I outwitted the dog by running into bushes. Thats weird, because I think dogs should be able to sense using their nose. Oh well, it didn't continue the pursuit, so I guess it's because of the high density of dog poo molecules in the air that completely saved me.
Been reading some of my classmates blogs and I realized everyone is working very hard. Everyone seems stressed while I am not. Perhaps i take things too lightly. So far I think JC stuff is easy, but I will eat my words once I fail my first test. Seriously, people say it's hard, yes it's hard, true to a certain extent. But it can't be that difficult. right? if not slower or less bright people won't be able to pass their alevels already.
And yes, I am talking about people who slog and mug till they went bonkers during olevels. No offense to all.
But I can't believe it's the start of JC life for me and Im getting darn complacent. Not that im doin things last minute again, Im trying to take a pacer's approach to this entire alevels thing, and I guess thats the only way. My poor discipline gets in the way, but still, I have confidence in my abilities.
Is the same concept as in my secondary school. BPGHS, is a mugger-filled place. Either you're a mugger, a mugger-wannabe, a pretending-to-not-be-a-mugger, or a true blue slacker. And it's really obvious to where I belong. Muggers are the hardcore, they mug, they're proud to mug, they mug all sorts of nonsensical crap including english and chinese and get their arrays of A1. beautiful. when will they realise that mugging is a sign of unintelligence?
Mugger wannabes are always concerned about their test grades. They sulk cause they failed a particular test. And this is what sets them apart from true muggers. Mugger wannabes mug but they still fail tests and exams. That is because they are probably 1)not as bright as muggers or lack talent in some aspects, 2) all talk and no action. There are people who pretend to slack but they are slackers while they are people with the reverse actions. They pretend to mug but they're actually very slack. And thus, they don't get the desired grades. Also known as failure muggers. People who want to mug, but are unable to.
The deceptive bunch, "im not a mugger" dudes. The reason why they decieve is because they want to out-do others. Something in them tells them to bluff the entire world using body lanquage, words and all sorts of patterns. Then they get beautiful grades in examinations and remain the reputation of being smart. True, this is a very good tactic. But when will people realize that they're just bluffing and cheating themselfs. Self-deception is like whacking yourself in the head.
The last group, slackers. Is probably where I belong. But it doesn't mean slackers can't get good grades. You don't have to be a mugger to get good results. As proven by glenn. Seriously, I think all it takes is good brains and good focus during lessons. Nothing else matters...
No one said you can't play 10 hours of Dota everyday and you can't own the exams. No one sai you can't play play play and still do well.
To me, success if not about mugging your As in examintion. It's about slacking your way through and still getting good grades. That is what life is about.
Whether to degrade oneself into muggers, or to just remain as yourself (though you want those grades so much, resist the temptation of turning into a hardcore mugger. believe you can do it by alternative ways), is up to oneself. And most people choose the former, due to some unknown mugger syndrome in this new place JC.
As eng yian defined (and yes eng yian the light of 4p3 HAS a blog), muggers are people who found loopholes in the education systems inorder to get their As. in this case, the loopholes are memorizing concepts, repeating TYS questions, rinse and repeat. Viola! and here comes the A1 for all the subjects. Is this what a all rounded education is all about? Where by majority of students mug up nonsensical junk, dump them onto cambridge scripts, get them marked by the white hair dudes across the planet, and then celebrate their As..
And end of the day they forget everything.
I think we should relook at how things are done. Or at least as individuals, we should not follow the path of being a mugger. It is a route of NO return. Relax, school is about having fun. and Im just about to learn how to enjoy learning new stuff in school. And still, i get this irking feeling im going to fail my first test.
Duh. Ive not revised anything.
Not even started reading it for the first time. Im so screwed.
End of the day, I don't know about alevels (as i don't have an ability known as future sight). I believe many people mugged for their olevels and I still beat a number of them from other schools. Though my grades pale in comparison in BPGHS, but still I beat so many people from other schools. And what? they were muggers?
Please. I believe there are other alternatives other than mugging. Right?
Sad mugging syndrome in singapore. Kiasu-ism at work.
and surprisingly, I believe there are people who mug inorder to get good grades to make themselves feel smart. ironic.
