Hey peeps, can't get to sleep so I figured why not post?

The O levels have been trying. It really tests your patience and we all really just want it over. Social studies is over and this means there's only 4 papers left for me. Sigh couldn't time move any faster? Anyway here's a bit of recap from the week.


Shaun tearing up his history textbook after the exam. Self explanatory. He wanted to do it. Its his book. Probably ain't gonna use it anymore. Hence, thrashed.

Last Friday I went back to school. (yea yea, whatever dunno what A1 person say I'm extra.) Simply to attend my brother's Primary 1 orientation. Why? you may ask. Well simply because me stays cooped up at home reading Social Studies is just NOT so attractive. So I decided to go out and get some air. But then air in school was totally stale and I felt like sleeping. I should have gone and watched High School Musical 3 with that time given...2pm - 4.30pm. But I was too slow to realise, next thing I knew I was dozing off during Mr Richard Lim's speech. By the way, Mr Richard Lim happens to be Joel Lim's father and I used to be Joel's classmate. One has a hokkien accent, the other likes comics with skimpily clad characters in it. Uhm...I will not judge. But that accent was enough to keep me awake (much to my annoyance) and I couldn't have a good sleep. So after that we went to go buy my brother's books and stuff...then headed for home. Saturday, my household woke up at 12 noon. How...nice. (: I got my goodnight's sleep but felt bad about it. Sigh, will there EVER come a time where things in my life will go well? So we went for breakfast followed by a trip to Bibi and Baba to get my brother's new uniform. I hope I'll have to go there to get my ACJC uniform next year. Haha, one can dream...


Here is my brother in his uniform and the tie is mine. He was so excited about it. Wait till term starts.

After that it wa sJG in the afternoon. I didn't plan on joining the class but Tara asked me to go in. So I figured oh heck. Since I've got nothing to do. So I watched the play that the students were going to perform for Express Your Best Self (EYBS) which will take place next sunday. Lol, poor publicity but it is still publicity to a certain extent. It seemed interesting the idea they had come up with. But it took away a bit of the fun in the class. I'm getting all sad and moody again. Lol, just kidding. I'm just hoping to get back next year for my exams. Grade 7 and 8 then I'll have completed the course. After that I went to Toys 'R' Us to look round. And look what I found:


All 15 red power rangers from the past 15 years. Haha, I'm a big fan. Still think MMPR and PR Turbo are the best. 1st gen and 3rd gen. I think i still have that picture that I took with the red and blue Turbo rangers. Lol, childhood memories...

Well, on Sunday I didn't do much apart from uh....exist. Which is why I really want to go back for service. Cuz there is NOTHING to do at home. Well, the perk was that I went to Old Airport Road for dinner. Had herbal chicken soup. It was great. (: Cuz it is the only herbal chicken soup I have tried since the herbal ginseng chicken soup in Korea like...a decade ago? or near half a decade ago. That was not so pleasant to taste but after a while when you are used to it. It really helps warm you up from the cold weather.


Dinner!

Well I suppose I should go sleep now. But I still feel restless. Have been thinking, what if Idefied my parents. Since I had that insight from the talk by Mr Danny Ng, Chairman of PSG in ACS (Pri). The talk was targetted to parents. He said one very true fact. It is easy for a child to get 100% for a spelling test nowadays. Just tell them how badly you're going to cane them if they get beneath that and they will do everything in their power to avoid it. Reminded me of how I cheated during a few chinese tests because of that. Got caught, but it was a lesson learnt. Another fact was that {force used by parents} = k {rebelliousness faced from the child}. When we get to the teens, often our parents are a bit older. During that time it would be when we defy them and set our own rules. Simply because they (honestly speaking) physically will not be able to stop us. Yet why do some parents use those methods of discipline? Tradition? Then how do new parents change this rule? Pamper the child. I think the best policy would be to simply show the child how life outside truly is at a suitable age (I would say 12-13). Explain how to world functions. Even the little petty crimes that can happen anywhere around the world. Then let the child see that he/she has options. To listen and learn, or to venture away and be hardened by the world itself. I suppose it would not be totally effective but it allows the child to respect the parents. that's just my theory but I sometimes wonder why don't I run away from home like the rest? Why do I try to study so hard when others can just make it without education? Why bother? After a long while it occured that I had a great amount of respect for my dad. And because of that it binds me to this household because I feel a need to help my dad simply because he does so much just for the household. Not for himself. He works 2 jobs, sacrificing the 5 days only work days. Both a stable job and a part time taxi driver. I guess, it took time to see these sacrifices see as to all my little childhood crimes in Pri 5. But all that effort is worth it after all. He gained my respect and that itself disciplined me. I try to follow his values in life and be a dream catcher of sorts. To be the one who achieves the dreams he set out for me.
