ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. im bugged by flu AGAIN!! grrrrrrrr. of all times. but thankfully, i nipped it in e bud before e onset of fever. went to ngee ann poly to study wif fir... wa, e library soooooo big. a few stories high... and compared with our miserable jj library.... such a stark contrast. of all ppl, we had to bump into his ex gf at e Atrium lor. now i can be prepared for another bout of rumours liao... i oso dun care liao, as long as my conscious is clear. anyway... aishah came over to meet me as well! missed her soooo much. she suggested a class outing during december... weeee, i reali reali hope it'll materialise. haben been in touch wif alot of 2/5ians these recent years... yay, got lotsa plans after e As. gonna party hard! but muz oso find a job to fund my uni fees liao... both my kor n me are enrolling in e same year, so e financial burden is gonna be tremendous. sigh.. very troubling.
tml going to swim wif deniece. it betta not rain!!!!
juz wanna say a big thank u to my study gang, mainly chaoshun, elaine, yingpeng, andrew and sometimes peixuan. they make e mugging sessions so much bearable, though it may be very conducive at times la. home is a horrible horrible place to study so i thank heavens above for blessing me wif such wonderful peeps! and i've got a new nickname by them... APPLE PIE! so goosebump-inducing right? haha... and not forgetting evelyn as well! she's always kind enuff to smuggle me into her club to hog the study room for hours on end and oso treat me to lunch. and she's e onli one i can snack wif w/o feeling guilty.. coz we both have itchy teeth! chocolates and potato chips are a must-have during study sessions.
kor bought a new digicam... panasonic LUMIX!!! weeeee, e Ayumi-endorsed brand. weeet. very clear, and e video is especially shiok. but with that, all my facial blemishes would be "yi lan wu yi" oredi. haha.
i was telling fir that, i dun wan my kids to grow up like e typical chinese kid, spoilt and pampered. i wan them to have a "malay-style" childhood, whereby they can run around without me having to keep an eye on their every move to make sure that they dun fall down or anything. i saw 2 lil malay boys running on grass without their shoes on their own, while their daddy is eating at e foodcourt. they look so carefree, so unafraid of e dirt or bugs lying around. then i saw 2 other kids who were chinese. and they were sitting with their mother, being spoonfed and all. i dun wan my kids to grow up like us chinese, paranoid over everything. i rather them have a fulfilling childhood not packed with tuition classes or enrichment courses at e expense of academic excellence. i reali regret being stuck in this rigid education system of Singapore. no doubt, it makes scholars and achievers outta us but its forgoing alot of other things as well... like happiness, pursuing dreams, nurturing innate talent. at e end of e day, we juz become ppl with a scrap piece of paper for a degree, and we're constantly judged on that piece of junk everywhere we go. sorry but its not my cup of tea. however, im oredi caught in e cogs of e wheel so i can onli go on wif this miserable way of life i have, or else i'll end up wif nutting. e best i can do is to make sure that my offspring doesnt go e same way as i do. and this reali helps to nurture e kinda of attitude we have when we grow up. the chinese are so self-centered and apathetic while e malays care for brotherhood, loyalty and kinship.
sigh. back to mugging...
