La vie est Belle <>

jibberish

I felt weird and out of place.
This environment is something I've went through 4 years ago.
And now at 4 years later, I'm back to it.

I no longer have lectures.
I now have C-L-A-S-S-E-S.

I no longer have tutorials.
I now have H-O-M-E-W-O-R-K.

It just feels not-so-right.
Having being mercilessly thrown into the no-more-spoonfeeding-cos-ur-an-adult-now way of environment when I started Poly 3 years ago, it took me some time to get used to it. It was so different that me and my friends actually contemplated quitting.
Gosh! We are SO spoilt I tell ya.

But after getting used to it and having gone through it religiously (and actually loving it) for 3 years, I'm now being stripped of it and thrown back to a more "backwards" system.
And not to mention that the people around me are at the young tender age of 16-17. And ignoring the fact that I'm the only Singaporean in class.
Granted, there is a guy who's older than me. But who cares how he feels? It's all about me right now people.
ME ME ME.

Aww...
Just let me whine alrighty.

Another thing that made me feel oh so misfit, is that it seems like I'm the only one who knows clearly definitely of what I want.
We were asked to fill in this personal detail form at Maths today and when asked what Maths we intend to pursue in 2007 (calculus, A maths, D maths, unsure), I'm the only one with an answer. The others were all "unsure".
For the love of sesame!

And during Biology, I'm the only person who knows for sure that I'll be taking up Biology in 2007. The others were unsure. The same applies for Chemistry.

I'm clear of my purpose here.
I'm clear of what I want.
When given something, I tackle it head on.
When asked something, I give a definite answer.
I'm confident, friendly, outgoing, and chatty.

But why do I feel so weird deep down?
Maybe I should pretend to be unsure.
Maybe I should "act blur".

Aww...
I don't know.

And where is precious when I wanna talk to him?

Well let's move on to the lighter side of school.

English is definitely the coolest subject ever! I just looovve the way Mr Bailey teaches. He reminds me of my oh-so-lovely Literature teach, Mr Latiff.
Its so engaging, so entertaining, and oh-so-funny! (satire, emotive language, alliteration, personification and yadah yadah)
And I learnt a different "kiss" today.
Keep It Simple Sweetheart!

For a moment there, I was so tempted to take up English for my degree. But oh well, I'm sure not all teach is like Bailey or Latiff.
So no thanks.
English can become an extremely boring & dry subject if the teach is from Borington.
*yawn*

The other subject on my fave list is Biology. Though we only touched on the basic Chemistry aspect of it today (lipid, proteins, ion bonding, covalent bonding, pH values, atoms & molecules, cells, Nadium, Kalium, Felium), I have a vibe that I'll come to love it. And perhaps Chemistry too.

And as for Maths, nothing much to comment about.
Cos the only thing we did today was the form and a 15 minutes test. Which is all algebra for goodness gracious sake! My worst nemesis ! ! !
I developed a hate-you-so-truly-madly-deeply relationship with algebra way back in Primary school.
So imagine the horror when I saw it today. I had to crack my skull to think back of the rules and stuff.

And as for my I-once-scored-so-well-for-it Physics, I realised everything's all dumped somewhere in the deepest recess of my memory cos I can't remember a single shiat about it. I stared at the formulae list and slowly, bits & pieces starts creeping back.
All the mu, velocity, ohm, density, blah blah blah.
The teach is quite a tough nut by the way. Looks like Steven Spielberg (all the uncombed hair and bushy beard), oh-so-serious, and a very bad joker.
The following is what he tried to crack today:

10 power 3 is "kilo"
10 power 6 is "mega"
10 power 9 is "giga"
10 power 12 is "tera"

What do you get when you have 10 power 12 of bulls?

.

.

You get terrible! (tera bulls)

Not funny at all.
*SMACK*

So should Physics & Chemistry be 2 seperate subjects in 2007, I will definitely not take up Physics.
Horror of all horror!
I'll love to retain that warm fuzzy cuddly memory of Physics in my mind forever.
Thank you very much.

Okie dokey.
Gonna go get my h.o.m.e.w.o.r.k done.
Bye !

(no "xoxo" today cos i need them all to myself)

All about

: elise :

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
