Saturday, July 29, 2006: Evening updates
My phone prepaid card's run so low that I can't message anyone. Oh, this is so seriously bad, bad, bad, bad...
Yes!! Just went to my French class page to check. No homework, unlike as promised! (does a happy dance) AND three days off - two before AND after National Day, and the 24th of August is a day off too due to the Sec 4 and JC oral!! But I wish it was the Tuesday before it that was our day off instead, for reasons best known to myself.
Chinese writing class was so *_* annoying because the question was so hard to write about!! Grr... No inspiration at all!! Nothing at all!! I produced nothing but a stupid single-sheeter (a double-page essay)!! (You didn't think I'd give a single-page one, did you?)
Main question: "People are easily influenced by their environments / tempted into doing the wrong things. Do you agree?" But then, being a free-form essay, we could write anything so long as it had some relation to the topic. Mine was totally out of point!! *screams at the pitch of high high E for five seconds*
My Chor1ster guy friend just asked if we can be friends. Definitely we can, I'm not against that. I remember that, in primary school (even in P4, when I was in one of the best primary schools here in Singapore), students still feared the "diseases" spread by girls to boys, or boys to girls. I could've laughed at them. It was so silly and childish. I was never against opposite-gender friends. In fact, when I had just joined the 'elite' school in 2002, I made a Friendship Day card depicting myself and my then-guy friend, Aaron Wong (who was from a supposedly inferior primary school from which I transferred to this 'elite' school), on it. In the middle was a pop-up featuring lyrics of a song that had been taught to the students of my former primary school:
Amigos para siempre
means you'll always be my friend,
Amigos para siempre
means a love that never ends;
Friends for life,
not just a summer or a spring,
Amigos para siempre.
Back then, we had many singing opportunities - community singing was held almost every day. J'aimais chanter, j'aime chanter et j'aimerai chanter et rien ne le changera pas. (I mean to say, I loved singing, I love singing, I shall love singing and nothing shall change that.) That's that.
I hated it when we had to recite endless Chinese poems at the new school. It was a great culture shock, and a big ordeal, so much so that when it was proposed that we recite this poem with this stanza containing the words "On (this date) we so respect, our school was born", I changed the words on my script to "On (this date) we so hate and dread, our school was born".
But a good thing came out of the transfer - had I not gone there, I might not have met two really good friends. All the rest of the people were bad eggs in their own way, but not these friends. And for your information, both were Prefects. One was the Head Prefect in my graduating year, but is currently not a Prefect. I wish she was one, she really deserves an eternal Head Prefect spot.
Speaking of Head Prefects... Li-Shan, one of the Chor1sters, is Head Prefect of her school (I don't know if she's stepped down or not, but my school's Head Prefect hasn't). Yes, I still miss all the Chor1sters!! Choir One rocks on and is absolutely pwnsome!! Choir One, amid the fun, is seriously the Number One!!
Update on 19 Jan 2006: Click HERE for the comment that Denyse left in response to my first tag. With the loading on of the new skin, the link to the comment vanished. This is one comment that I'll forever treasure.
