Oh well.
I won't say there's nothing to blog about now, since there's plenty. Firstly, it's weekend. Rejoyce? No? I got to admit I am feeling extremely guilty for slacking today away just like that. Mainly, I was on the ds the entire afternoon. It's okay, I always have to whole weekend to accomplish something. Right? thats what I always tell myself.
Feeling rather energetic today, and perhaps because I slept very early last night and managed to do a full charge on my battery. Nice, and school today wasn't really very taxing.
Fine, again. The best word ever to describe school. Fine, in other words, translates into "not too good, yet not too bad. And it's TOO boring to deserve a more interesting word like fine, it seems to be very nonchalent, heckcare, just like my attitude towards school". See, fine is the most appriopriate word to describe school.
Details, yes details. thursdays 5-6pm and tuesdays 3:30-4pm are now jammed slots, for physics remedial. And I was literally crying when I saw this. On thursdays, I finish at 1:30pm, and now, they're hogging my entire afternoon as I wait for the session to begin. What fate. But guess I'll have to resign to fate. It's a crucial year afterall. I should bite the bullet, and get over with all these, once and for all.
And this is all for failing physics on promos last year. Well, I guess I am the lowest in my class for physics with an S score. This is what I get for giving up on physics and concentrating on my other H2 subjects (well mildly) for like a month before promos.
And till now, I am still very hesistant, and not very fond of math and physics. I wonder why am I taking such subjects in the first place.
Whoops, just some interesting stuff, that has been going around. I guess PAE students are just too free. I don't even know why they come for PAE. to play? to flirt? Well, I was better off doing my own stuff at home.

"i am sooooo pissed off.
today was the gathering of our orientation group, well they seemed a decent lot. so i came late and had to sit beside C at seoul garden. she's a nice girl, very smiling and pleasant. so the stupidity started when two certain girls decided to comment on how 'couply' we looked. -___________- i was like are you fucking kidding me? what are we, primary 6? so i politely told them to stfu.
then we went to LUCKY PLAZA to play POOL. that's like two downgrades at one shot, way to fucking go, og 23. so because a part of 'new me' is to become more of a good sport, i gamely gave my billiards virginity away, stepping into lucky plaza and risk getting seen by 93432 people. seriously you would have thought it would have been worth it but when i was having a game with jay against two girls, they kept taking advantage of the fact that they 'were girls' so they could keep trying again and again. so i got pissed the fuck off and let them win. and big LOL @ their triumphant faces, as if they could actually beat us in a game of billiards. if they were happy with winning using such cheap means, by all means, cheapen yourselves. idgaf.
the last part, going to subway. they were trying to take a picture of P and i together. -___________- x 10000 pls. seriously, what the actual fuck is wrong with these two? are they like, obsessed with me or something? were they trying to play matchmaker? do they think that I with MY STANDARDS cant get a girlfriend without their help? i could pick a random girl in pj and she would be my girlfriend in an instant.
so that is how my sunday got ruined. dear neighbourhood school girls: this is where you differ from the girls of, say, ij or mgs. oh, besides the fact that you have 0% class, half the self respect, no sophistication to save your lives, and are naive simpletons. you neighbourhood school girls dont know how to carry yourselves well, which pisses me off. by the way, bullying a boy is not cute anymore. so take yourselves and your disgusting chinese phrases and get the fuck out of my life. i dont want anything to do with you guys, give me a st. marg's girl over you anyday."
I had no choice. Words that come out of such people are meant to be small. Afterall, the size of words are directly proportional it's writer's intelliegence.
And nope, I did NO html tweaking.
I probably lost all my credibility from that statement alone.
Controversial bloggers, I thought he was one. But just some kid who can't control his emotions? has an exceptionally errr. inflated ego (well, I don't know why? and how?). I am utterly disappointed with the content (after searching a little on google I managed to find it), and I repeat, I am totally disappointed.
I expected something intellectual, something with some substance. Maybe a well constructed argument about how neighbourhood school girls are whatever, and to be honest I was slightly interested to find how he phrased everything and the exact stuff he wrote.
But now what's this. Just some kid who's pissed with girls teasing him. And likely to be someone who cannot adapt to different cultures.
Personally, I wouldn't say that I am for or against him. But all I know that the way he phrased things totally reflect how much of a simpleton he is. Well, I would like to hold back any insults but seriously, anyone who, without hesistant, can put a vulgarity on a post (as though it's glamourous or whatsoever), certainly has no standards.
There isn't just only a difference in neighbourhood school girls and elite school girls. Generally, guys and girls, both will differ and probably and usually to a very large extent. Ive seen both worlds. At church, some of my friends are the elite of the elite in RJC, well, and then, in school, mainly people around me are from neighbourhood schools (or at least Bpians, which is just another neighbourhood school that probably hovers around the other neighbourhood schools a little). And, the difference is not subtle, not insignificant. It's something so evident.
I believe upbringing here is a very important factor. But still, what I would like to assert is that the elite culture is not nessecary an elite culture. the term elite only come about from the perception of these 'elite people'. In other words, there is no absolute culture which is superior than the other.
Note:when I mention elite, and neighbourhood, they are not absolute terms. There are degrees and extents to how these words can be used to class people.
Another classic case of an 'elite' (or maybe, a wannabe), feeling too superior than the average neighbourhood people. I admit, there are times when this neighbourhood cheena environment gets quite irritating. There's sometimes this suddenly change in 'pressure' when I switch environments too quickly. I would say that it is very distracting to be facing one type of people in the day at school and then another in church on that evening. Like I said, the difference is very noticable and can be felt to a very large extent.
Ive been beating around the bush. My two cents. The elite, the smarter ones, the richer ones. They are the ones borned with the silver spoon in their mouth, and wannabes-people who hang around these people too long and have been influenced to a very large extent. I'm not going guessing and probing into the probablities of what's in other people's minds. But what I can say is that neighbourhood people are generally nicer. They may seem low class, they may seem to lack that sophisticated appearance, that sophisticated tone in their voices, or whatever you name it. But human beings, are still human beings. Maybe, if an elite would one day decide to 'descend a little', withhold alittle of his profusely bleeding pride, and mingle amongst the neighbourhood. There is a special warmth. And probably after that, he will look down on his own kind. Again.
I still have a little skeptism about how SJI is actually considered elite. but still, this behaviour portrayed is certainly none other than elitism in action.
And just to get on a more micro, more personal level, though he has apologized ( I don't really bother to post the apology message here), because Imo, is just some very witty way to retreat. Afterall, anything that is done in fear, has no meaning. As far as I am concerned, there's no real apology. it's just natural human instinct, "to save his own arse". as easy as that. We shouldn't take such apologies seriously.
But still, I have nothing against this blogger. Afterall, embedded within human nature is ugliness, the nature of arrogance. Most people, even if they do not say such things, have such thoughts in their head. (pertaining to arrogance, the jugdging of people, and insulting people).It takes bravery to be able to express views just like that. For that, I salute him. Not for his words, but for his truthfulness.
But still, honestly is not nessecarily the best policy in this case. And that is because being too honest, (and generous with insults), and cause one to be a goner (just like what happened here).
I don't doubt the fact that many are furious with him. Some are just nonchalent. He should be honoured that I dedicated such a long section in this post in response. But again, I should thank him for giving me something to blog about.
Im not sure if what I have posted make sense. But still, I try to make sense out of nothing.
It's fairly late.
And I have not been on the piano yet, today. I got to go.
