Results...

Got my CA2 results today...quite good. My Geography wasn't very good...only B3. Thanks to Mr You-know-who. Total MSG was 2.5,improved from 3.7!



Tomorrow is Teachers' day celebrations...might be going back to primary school...

WTH?!

Hi all. Today was simply crapped up. The day started ok with Mr Wong giving us our test papers back. I got 23/35,which is abt 65%...not very good,but not sucky either.

Then we had Maths,then HCL (Higher Chinese Language,not hydrochloric acid),then the worst geography lesson EVER. We got our test papers back,and I can tell you the class was PISSED!!!! I got 15/25,which to me sucks becos i got A1 last yr. So everyone was angry with Mr You-know-who for not teaching us well. Example: He did not correct our mistakes in the workbook. The class literally rebelled against Mr ***** ** and demanded for a remark. Thankfully Ms Sharma promised us to remark our papers.

And we're still having the a****** Mr ***** ** for nxt term. Hope we don't fail.

We won a medal...right?

I'm sure all of you know by now that Singapore has won a silver medal in the Olympics thanks to the women's table tennis team. According to the very "reliable" source aka the Straits Times,the nation is proud of their success. Some people have also said something along the lines of "Finally,we won another medal thanks to foreign talent."

But have we really won a medal? The members of the table tennis team all came from China. They migrated to Singapore to lead a better life and you really can't blame them,seeing as China only cares about perfection,which they showed for the world to see at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

So the match that day was really China vs China. However,our amazing government has managed to brainwash most of the country to take the team's achievement as their own. We did not win the medal. The foreign talents did. And even if everyone accepted them,they would still be foreign talents.

Let's hope that in the 2012 Olympics,Singapore's people will win a medal for their birth country and prove to the world that we do not rely on Foreign Talent

END of CA2!!!!!

The CA2 is finally over!!! Now comes waiting for the results...

I am screwed for Maths. Forgot how to do the congruency question...but should be able to get a good mark for Geography. Speaking of Geography,Timo cheated in the exam. He wrote notes on his hand. When the teacher asked him,he said "I wrote the answers so that I can show it to my mum."

WTH. This ranks NO. 1 on the list of lame excuses.

And all he got was a call to his parents. Everyone thought he would be sent to Mr Chia but nooooo,he got only one call.

And my parents are killing me. When they ask me how I did for exams,I would say "ok". Then my father would say "That's what you always say." Fine. Next time I'll just say that I failed for everything.

Till the next post.

I hate my life.

My parents do not care.
My sister is evil.
Friends can't help.
Neither can teachers.
Who can I turn to?

Rant on...Respect of elders

Ok. From the title you know this post is going to be very long...if you can't read long posts then I suggest you stop.

Too many times have we heard parents tell children, "Respect your elders." When they say this,they mean every single word, especially RESPECT. This means that you should and MUST be polite,obedient,and kind to your elders,whether they are your parents,grandparents or just some guy who you don't know and is heading to a retirement home.

Normally,this is something to follow. After all,your parents are the ones who raised you. But in the little red dot we call Singapore,that sentence is abused many,many,many times.

For example,you (I'm assuming you're a student) board a bus. You are carrying one schoolbag,your CCA equipment and your wallet. Plus another stack of books. After tapping your EZ-link card,you proceed to look for a seat. Finally, you find one and gratefully collapse on it.

Then,an old lady who looks fit for her age boards the bus. After finding out that everyone else has "mysteriously" fallen asleep,she looks at you. You feel a twinge of guilt,but shake your head as you do not wish to die under all the weight you are carrying.

The old lady then starts to complain about you being disrespectful and starts to tell the whole bus. Suddenly everyone wakes up and glares at you. With a sigh, you give your seat to the haughty old hag and proceed to crumble under your stuff.

In this case,it's clear that the old lady is at fault. Not only did she not notice your state,but she also acted as if it was her right to have a seat in the damn bus. This is a common incident in Singapore.

In Asia,we have this tendency to "worship" the elderly,which includes parents. Not doing this will result in punishment. This is very worrying. Does this mean that the elders are always right? What if one of your great-grandparents told you that foot binding for girls was recommended? If you were a girl would you listen to them? Of course not. What if your parents ordered you to take up a course that you hated just because they think that it's "for your own good"? Will it do any good to you?

Respect is a must. But there is a fine line between respect and total obedience. That is one line elders must NEVER cross.
