the sound of waves,
lapping the shore.
just like the songs you used to sing.
the gentle breeze,
caressing my face.
reminds me of you.
i see the sunset,
with your head on my shoulders.
your hand in mine,
we would have been so happy.
together.

a few pics. realised i havent blogged in ages.

my 41 SAR kakis! at the party at jasons house last week. damn fun lah! :D they're going to get their 3SG rank in a week then go to wallaby in november. what an exciting life they lead. compared to my 8-5 mugging day. =X







hmm stupid random photo i took with jason's bdae prezzie. :P



playhouse is in a week. i hope we can pull it off. stressed. oh well. not gonna be as good as the m2s or the other years, but i want it to be respectable. :) i love the m2s play. AHHHH.

even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart, i love you too much to make you stay, baby fly away...

a collection of funny stuff for the week, or at least an accumulation of stuff which i've always wanted to post up but never had the time.



such an oxymoron. who'd buy insurance from china?!

oh before that,



for that special someone out there who adores hairy legs. HAHAHAHA.
thanks to jason ong for modelling too! :)

intelligence attracts. it may not apply to everyone, but i am very sure that the converse is true, in fact, more true than my first statement. stupidity is repulsive. due to a recent spate of events, i HAVE to get this off my chest, in a bid to preserve my own sanity.

this house firmly believes that stupidity is not a fault of nature.

"no lah, my son sibei stupid one lah. maths hor, teacher count the marks wrong for the paper he also dunno. supposed to get 50 marks the teacher put 48 he also count wrong like teacher. he say teacher give him extra 1 more mark so he dont want to tell teacher."

when we were born into this world, we were born naked. it was fair. not the skin colour, but everyone began as a naked baby. at the age of 6 and a half, anxious parents would be queuing outisde schools, waiting to enrol their little devillish darlings into dream schools like ACS for the boys, MGS for the girls and Nanyang for those that were in between.

it marked our virgin step into the long and ardous Singapore Education System, which in my humble opinion is a well lubricated old prostitute's cb, having taken in countless innocent virgin boys (and girls) in the many batches before and those who are soon to come.

first point of contention. they love to claim the incompetency of their primary school. oh, umm, i had many pregnant science teachers, butchy discipline mistresses, menopausally-anal chinese teachers (you wonder if they are straight) and a never endless train of relief teachers. now, if your lover was bad in bed, what would you have done? sit in bed and mope after every session?!

if you loved yourself enough, you'd have the guts to complain. it's our national pasttime, presenttime and futuretime anyway. really. what are mums for? write in to the school! write in to the press! talk to the principal and find out what's wrong! complain to MOE. or jump ship and transfer school!

there are so many alternatives, yet none of the these routes are taken. parents would rather allow their kids to BECOME stupid (BECOME because i believe that they were never stupid to begin with) and then blame it on the school. its an easy excuse anyway. it was as if you knew your maid was doing it with the bangla workers, but you dont teach her how to use a condom. and when she comes crying to you that she's pregnant, (mum, i got already), you turn around and say hey, its not my fault. it was the bangla's fault. the parents didnt do their part!

the kids also are partly to blame. up till now, science has yet to prove a gene coding for stupidity. do tell me if its ever found though, i bet i can isolate it in many of the DNA strands of fat bumbling idiots.

when it comes to learning, there are two approaches. you can be harworking or you can be lazy. usually the apathetic "stupid" ones choose to be lazy. their reasoning goes along the lines of i didnt do well the last test when i tried to study, so i am stupid. well. if i am stupid, then there's no need to work hard anymore. its like equating one side of the equation to zero. end of story. no matter how many times you increase your effort, the results are not visible.

what they do not perceive, or choose not to believe is that they actually didnt try hard enough the first time. if multiple tries still result in terrible grades, then something is wrong, not with your intelligence (unless you were born with a congenital brain defect, like no grey matter or something), but with the methods. surely, if certain methods are not working, then its time to change them. if your underwear is too tight, naturally you'd buy bigger ones? unless impotency is one of your to-be-achieved on your new year's resolution, it really boils down to apathy. students apathetic towards their studies are just pathetic.

other alternatives. the traditional rote learning method. i think i have two good friends who serve as very good examples. having come from a school in timbuktu (i.e. the author has never heard of that school prior to interaction with them) called Radin Mas Primary School, they are not your typical smart students. but hey, they got into RI GEP. (and dun give me that bullshit that GEPpers are not stupid, what IQ EQ. pui. social skills of people-people interaction are a different set of skills from mental capacity altogether. we are debating intelligence here. and they'd always say AHH RI boys have low EQ, and they cannot interact with people. what about Goh Chok Tong? is he not a proud alumnus of the school. then they'd say, no lah, majority of the RI boys cannot connect well with others, they are arrogant and yaya papaya, not street smart. first and foremost, they have the right to be arrogant. why? do they not have the substance? you have to get at least a 261 in PSLE to get in okay. cannot connect well with others... and hence low EQ. now, others is a very broad term. can humans speak dog language? its an unfair comparison! we do not connect well with people of different backgrounds. thats a norm. but slowly, we will. mind you, in a social setting, i don't think a gaggle of eloquent singlish speaking changkat changi students are your perfect examples of high EQ students that the singapore education system is proud of. in the end, we rafflesians are still the ones who can keep up a conversation)

i digressed. the main point that i was trying to illustrate was that despite coming from a lousy school, if you have the drive and the willpower to succeed above what is expected of you, no matter what adversities that may come your way, you'd work your way out of it. get a tuition teacher, approach teachers for remedials etc. theres definitely a way out. and now, these two Radin Martians are proud winners of the PM Book Prize and they happen to sit beside me in the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine LT29 during lectures. from rags to riches lah.

and how did they do it? with their wonderful photographic memory. so if all else fails, turn to rote learning. memorisation and regurgitation equips you with facts and knowledge which can be metabolised to intelligence eventually. i just have yet to isolate the enzyme.

okay, i've said all that i've wanted to. its such a relief. truthfully, i just find lazy people claiming to be stupid a major turnoff. its an excuse, a pathetic excuse. we were all equipped with functional brains and neurons. unless you have an extra 21st chromosome or some congenital defect, i do not see why there should be stupid people out there. i cant believe i've wasted so much time on a person who told me he'd fail his maths paper despite me spending so many hours tutoring him. its just pure anger. i have better things to do, and if you arent even going to save yourself, why should i bother?

i bet his genetic code contains 24 chromosomes. and the 24th chromosome contains genes that all code for laziness and stupidity.

get out of my elite uncaring face.©
