It's been long. I've been too lazy to come online.
The prelims have ended last week, and the A's are 6 weeks away.
Not too long ago, I was on the train and what I saw enraged me. There were two groups of disabled people. One was a group of 4 mutes/deaf, and another, a small group of mentally disabled people.
People on the train were starring at the mutes as though they were aliens. So what if they communicated with sign language and some strange noise gets "emitted" once in a while? Does it give you the right to stare, and bitch? It's rude.
And worse still, this group of ITE students were bitching and laughing at the mentally disabled kids. They were speaking in their mother tongue. I happen to understand their mother tongue and it's extremely disgusting to hear such comments made about the mentally disabled. You people are no better off!
But the interesting thing is that before one of the mentally disabled kids, before getting off the train, pointed at the group of ITE students and said something which i could not make out. haha.. it was so cute in a way. haha..
And here is another incident that pissed me off. I was at the Toa Payoh branch of NTUC last week. It was one plus in the afternoon. Strangely, the place was pretty packed. The people there pissed the hell out of me. Groups of old ladies hogged the isle, talking and oblivious of their surroundings. Some smelled like they bred dogs in their hair. Others were office workers, taking their own sweet time to choose stuff, and walking as though their nails would chip off if they walked a little faster. And when they bumped into colleagues, they would stop and talk, just like the old ladies. Educated people mind you. Educated people doing that.
I bought only 2 items and so went to the express counter. And what do I see? People with baskets at the express counter! ok, i forgive you. maybe the other queues were too long. But the stupid cashiers, all of them, were taking their own sweet time keying in purchases, scanning items, packing slowly. If the place is empty, by all means, go ahead and take your time. But the place was packed, the queues were so long one might think free money was being distributed at the counters! Gosh.
No wonder the service industry in Singapore is bad.
Bah.

It's been a long time. How is everyone?
GP prelims over but prelims for all other subjects are coming. A levels are coming. Army is coming. Life is ending.
I've somehow lost the will to do anything. I feel like falling into a comatose and die!! Math is not as easy as I found it to be. Long gone are the days I could do questions off hand. My A grade for math has slowly slipped to an E. And the prelim practice papers are not helping one bit. Plus, sources from ACJC and SAJC said that their papers were tough. I'm hopeless. I feel like wallowing into self pity and die!! This afternoon, I broke down while doing math. I don't know why.
From a lesson learnt,I must learn not to wallow in self pity. I must be strong and take control. Listen to Il Divo. It calms the soul.
Bless the people who have lost their lives. Many disasters have been happening around the world. Plane crashes, typhoons. What is happening? Probably this is the inner voice of life-the chaos, misery, turmoil.
Wake up Shawn! Look around you! People are dying, studying. What about you? Do something! You don't want to end up nowhere, crying and frustrated. You don't want no E's and O's on your cert. Hell no! AAA and at least a B3 for GP!
whoever said growing up is a process, I would like to raise my hand as the exception. It doesn't really evolve slowly and unnoticeably. One bright sunny morning, when you're not looking, it hits you square in the face! And *tadaa*. All the evil and unhappiness and the destroyed utopia you thought you lived in. Ahhh, the lovely pains of growing up. Or growing old.
