hey you guys.. i know you didn't manage to make the finals for ACG, but i think that it's the effort that counts. I never would have thought our class would have made it soooooo far!! Way to go! Congrats! Just wish I could have joined you guys (anyone up for twister during the holidays??). Dear Brandon: Please take care of your leg and come back to chinese soon, laoshi misses you.
Also, I hope all of you have taken the opportunity to get tix for The Yellow Brick Road!!! Since so many people in our class are involved in drama I think its only right that we make a class outing of it and go for the performance together! YAy*! Yes yes, propaganda, I know. I feel like a fat cow. My partner can't lift me. Tragic isn't it?
But anyway, once again, congrats you guys!

Tuesday, October 21, 2003
hello all. it is the night before results. about 11 more hours of ignorant bliss, although the bliss might be changing to sweaty and nail-biting panic soon. to carry on the vein of jc-based entries:
(to the assembled j1s waiting in the hall under her thrall)
creffield:
friends, acsians and staff members,
put down your handphones and listen.
i come to bury 1ah not to praise them.
the evil that they have done will not live after them,
all exam scripts will be interred with what is left of them.
so let it be with 1ah, as the scholarship class they claim they
hath done their promos to the best of their ability.
if it were so, their promos are but a grievious fault,
and grieviously hath 1ah answered for it.
(pause as the bodies are carried in)
... ...
sigh.
the method of death? who knows. i find ashley's idea that creffield lines us up in a row and shout 'one, two, three, four, BASTARD ON THE CROSS, fire!' impious, and yet plausible and gruesomely fascinating. O_o
all the same, to any fellow classmates out there, i wish you all the very best of luck for tomorrow.
to ashley, luke, nana, amadeo and j-bo: thanks for the support after mr mash's class. really. =)
Monday, October 20, 2003

together we shall create AHHH - a horrific haunted house hokay?
mr ngoei is right when he says our class actually posesses the contacts and spirit (ok, i added that in) to make a successful haunted house...but it's all a matter of....
willingness and not ability to.....*hahah* :)

Tuesday, October 14, 2003
wow, been away for a couple of days and the class blog is so... populated. very good :) ahaha anyway ccab camp wasn't as bad as perceived. was actually quite fun and enriching minus all the exhaustion and bruises. woke up at one today... really had this deep sleep that i think nothing could have woke me from. yah. anyway stella umm... i can't tell you how much more irresponsible i am than you. maybe also because i'm quite blur. and xiangwei... its perfectly human to feel like that. we all do sometimes. anyway i guess this post has no point, don't want to flood here with descriptions of camp which would go on my own blog. its out of point like many of jon's posts of course. and AH c'mon blog more! don't let this class blog turn into the xiangwei-jon war blog yah? bye, love yall guys.
i shan't even begin with hi. well but if i don't i'll feel uncomfortable for being so disrespectful. so hi. have you ever got suddenly outta the blue felt a sense of frustration and just pure anger at everyone seep into you suddenly? and no i'm not talking about PMS. it's just this helplessness and burning anger combined with violence that suddenly brews within you. well that's how i'm feeling now. i'm an angry teenager. don't get me wrong or anything. i don't wanna kill. just feel so...argh ANGRY. i have no idea what i'm angry about and no idea why i'm angry. maybe it's due to the pent-up or supressed feelings for such a long time. maybe it's just something i go throught every month (although i seriously doubt that). but now i just feel angry. i just feel so bradon-ish now. wanting to communicate but unable to communicate properly. bleahs.
help.
Monday, October 13, 2003
i'm so tired... i really am.
and i would like to talk about my ccab experience
(not really)
but..i'm so tired..
and i'm getting so sad..
cos after all that... when i got into the car..
i realised that my squash badge must have fallen out of my pocket.
aiyar..it's just a badge...but.. after all that, (whatever brutal training that xw was talkin about),
i'm still so....irresponsible.
hello. i am currently in xiang wei's house working on our marvellous history society board thing whatever. Even though I am in a place of enlightenment and intellectual stimulation, i find myself unable to gather the inspiration neccessary to write a long blog. In fact, i think that someone has kidnapped my inspiration and taken it somewhere. But what sense is there in taking my inspiration? Taking it makes he who takes it not richer, but makes me poor indeed. I have come to miss my inspiration the past few days, as I have been suffering from mental breakdown and physical trauma from bloody ice skating. Stupid blisters are damn irritating I cant even wear shoes properl and whenever I try and cross my legs the blood gets on my pants. stupid thingd can you just go away.
Anyway I am here to extol my wondrous piece of work called the South-East Asian History Board. Now i know that self-praise is sometimes useless, but it is safe to say that I (and Xiang Wei) have really outdone myself this time. Did you know that i sacrificed an entire day of academic learning to labour on this project of love? I have poured my blood, sweat, tears and my very soul into this work of art. It is indeed a thing of beauty. The design is immaculate, the pictures relevant and truly picturesque (i cant think of any other word) and the board is damn nice lah. Oh yah I must acknowledge the work of my uh assistant Xiang Wei who has had quite an influence in this project. He will no doubt blog about this soon. Whatever he writes, dont believe him.
Okay moving on, i have come to regret taking my inspiration for granted. Now you know that inspiration, in man and woman, is the very jewel of their souls. I knew not of the times it spent away from me. unaware that without it i would be incapacitated and left a mumbling heap of gibberish, but now i fully realize the importance of my inspiration. I no longer possess the ability to drone on and on about random, useless topics and can no longer type long blogs. To whoever has my inspiration, please give it back to me because without it, iam incapable of writing nonsense. Oh in addition, my quest to find my lost inspiration is so ardous and demanding that I have no choice but to take a leave of absence from school for two full days. In this time, i shall encounter great peril and tribulations, as i seek to complete my mission. Of course, i wish i was in school, absorbing knowledge and benefitting from a wonderful and brilliant Singaporean education, but sadly i must forego this privilege temporarily until my creativity is recovered. Do not mourn for me, for if i never return from this trip I have gone to a better place.
Actually what Josh said is right, ot doesnt really feel like the end of the promos because i never really studied during the promos and im kind of doing the same now so it like feels the same. And a school by any other name would smell as sweet. Now i have no idea what that has to do with anything.
Okay Xiang Wei has disappeared to his room and the work beckons me; it summons me. I am compelled to follow, for what are we if not creatures of work, beasts of burden? I shall see you all soon. Do not weep, do not cry, for I shall return.
blahblah blooblee nehneh =p
like, whatever! VV *rolls eyes*
haha... =p sian lah! dun talk so much nonsense... overdoing it ... no kick liao
*yawn*
does anyone else feel like promos isnt over yet... so much to do still bleh
school doesnt feel like school anymore.
Sunday, October 12, 2003
Once again i am back, just as i promised my fellow classmates. For this entry today, i have decided to adopt a different approach. I must confess that i have been doing plenty of self-reflection on my part and have thus come to the conclusion that it is my fault above all else that no one else here is blogging. It is indeed my fault that i have been too profound in my language, expounding thoughts too complicated for the simplistic minds to comprehend. Therefore, today i am glad to announce that i shall sink to your levels, in an attempt to try my very best to change the primitive animal in all of you. Like ToTAlly ok? =)
Anyway, today i would like to discuss the topic of plagiarism. Plagiarism, as defined by www.dicitionary.com, is the act of plagiarising. Plagiairising would include taking other peoples' words and ideas and passing them off as your own. Now before i proceed any further, you might all be wondering why tonight, am i discussing this topic in particular. Has all the Project Work finally gone to my head? Am i being Crazy? No i'm not of course. The reason would be simply because i have had a rather disturbing experience recently. You see, not naming specific names or anything, i have typed out a short commentary for some certain project which was for some certain open house on the 18th of this month for some certain society which i belong to. ( and no i'm not talking about bowling.) Well no big deal right? Except that you see, after i had typed out that short commentary for that particular project which was for that open house which showcased that scoiety that i belonged to, a certain someone had actually altered my commentary. Now of course, that wouldn't be half that bad except that this certain someone, had actually changed it without even attempting to inform me, and it wasn't as though i was 5 hundred million miles away. i was in the very same building about 10 metres away from him. So as you can see, i was greatly insulted when i found out. Now, I am certainly not against improvements, and would gladly encourage comments or opinions which might make my work better. However, by acting on his own, he has clearly shown utter disrespect for my work and me. No matter how enlightened i might be, i would never EVER EVER attempt to insult another person's work like that. On this note, i must state that i am greatly offended and insulted. If that person is reading this, well, i hope you would realise that it clearly has upsetted me greatly, and you should start begging for my forgiveness soon.
Now that i have gotten this off my chest, i must indeed compliment jon on his latest entry. Not only is it an actual copy from that devotions cum baccalaureate guy, it has not the slightest ounce of originality at all. Worst of all, it is incoherent due to the addition of his own phrasing structures. But i do guess it is an improvement over his previous ramblings on the blog page. Jon, keep up the good work!
Sigh, i have just realised what a great number of potential leaders we have in our class, and it seriously bothers me to think that these leaders, our very future pillars of the country, are hence forth as we are even speaking, subjected to physical torture right now. It clearly baffles me as to how the system is working. What we need now are Intellects to rule the country, Not some brute with no brains. This is the technological age. Brute force just don't get you places that it used to anymore. So why are they torturing the precious leaders of tomorrow? whY wHY WHY?? my heart bleeds for you all, and rest assured that i will remember you, in life or death.
All these depressing issues are indeed once again draining my mental strength. Well, i guess that gives me an excuse to end here. Take care and till we next meet again....
Thursday, October 09, 2003
Am i the only one here who's interested in actually promoting unity amongst my fellow classmates and friends? Am i the only noble soul here who actually cares about the future fates of my fellow peers? Because it so happens to seem so, as can be seen from the pathetic response on this very webage itself. Has my language been too complex? Is my phrasing too complicated? Am i being too profound? Is there a need for me to simplify my sentences so that you all may actually comprehend what is going on?
Sigh, all along i convince myself that this aim of enlightening my fellow peers is not a futile and wishful attempt on my part but now..i'm not so sure...
Thanks to you all my inspirations and thoughts have been engulfed by anger, disappointment and regretfulness.
i'll be back....
ps: this is not an attempt to pratice reverse psychology nor is it an attempt to create an excuse for lacking in content. =)
heya..if anyone has a digicam..please bring it tomorrow.. (and sulynn! WHAT COOKIES? shh..)
haha..maybe i should bring a camera to c-cap...(i always thought it was called c camp..?)
i'm so tired. i'm so tired. i'm a car. i'm exhausted.
everyone, enjoy the weekend(end of weakness?) or may i suggest,
Rest in peace.
while i wrest the remnants of my energy
argh!
my goodness. izit me or do my previous blogs seem... short?
sigh. oh well. exams finally over, thank God.
to xw: i think you get prize for longest posts. y not do little writeups about every single ah class member since you seem to be so gd at it? boost your ego. your already inflated ego.
to stella: all the best baking cookies.. can't join you all cos i'd probably blow up the oven and you'd have NO cookies at all. lack of cookies = sad sulynn.
yep. and to my cousin the drummer, the opulent orange and the self-professed vodka drinker, congrats on learning how to skate!!! (although i admit the sight of the three of you trying to walk on ice was plain ludicrous. sorry.) i hope your blisters heal soon.. especially howard's ankle.
let us pray for lenient marking.
Tuesday, October 07, 2003
Good evening once again to my beloved classmates of 1ah. It's good to be back again. I really must apologize for and explain my absence. I see that it has clearly upsetted my ardent fans like Stella who is dying to know what the davidonic theory might hold for her future and how she may use it to achieve enlightenment. I have not failed to deliver Stella, just got delayed in the delivery process. You see, last night I was entrapped within the world of the colonial masters as well as the bloody Japs who decided to get ambitious and conquer SEA. Now that is not really a problem to me, except for the fact that they did so many things and resulted in the change in so many events. Why on earth would this bother me, you would like to know. Well it really doesn't, except for the tiny fact that it means MORE MEMORIZING for me. So once again, I know that you, my fellow followers, are disappointed at my absence. Blame it on the japs. (toshi, no worries, I blame them not you.)
Now, I have realized that my last brilliant entry has stirred up err quite a long of response from you guys. Not to worry, it is all part of my masterplan to actually encourage the development of this process called 'Thinking' within each of your minds. This would definitely aid in the enlightenment process which you all seek to follow in order to become like me. It comes across to me that err some people might perceive my last blog as a 'willful act of defiance' to the beliefs of modesty and an outrage display of arrogance. However, please be assured that my very main aim of the blog is to help people achieve enlightenment. If my blog has offended anyone of you, I would like to apologize - for being honest. Being the master comprehender of human nature, I also understand that jealousy would reign in the hearts of many after reading my blog. This can be seen from the continual references to insignificant things such as my e-mail address as well as undermining my important and significant role by stating that I am non-inspiring and retarded. I am appalled at the belief by a certain individual that my blog served the purpose of OFFENDING him. I must emphasize that this is not so. My blog serves only the purpose of telling the truth and as such, the truth shall set all of you free. I must also state that I understand your desperate measures to try and create flaws in me so as to 'humanize' me and make me seem more accessible to you. However, for your own sake, it is my wish that you discontinue whatever jealousy developed as a result of me as it might serve to impede your pursuit of enlightenment.
Before I proceed any further, it is essential first that I provide a response to stella's statement of how I had given a long introduction about the Davidonic theory but ended up criticizing the Calebism belief. Now, narrow-minded and short-sighted people would believe that I was gone out of point and becoming a err "davidoFF". In actual reality, if you had the foresight and saw the development of the large picture, you would realize that I am actually preparing the grounds for the introduction of my Davidonic Principles. Just like how modern historians provide revised views of the different ideologies, I was only revising the theory of Calebism as opposed to actually critizing it. Furthermore, by contrast of the Calebian theory, The Davidonic theory will serve to shine out and become more prominent.
The Davidonic Theory is not a theory in theory. Rather, it is an attitude and a culture which should be developed and adopted by all. Unfortunately, like Mazzini's ideological writings, it is only appealing to the upper half of the intellectual class due to its profound nature and complexness. However even so, it must be noted that not all who are willing are able to apply and adopt this culture in their lives. This may be due to a spectrum of political, social and econmic reasons as seen below:
Political
There is a discouraging of the belief by governments. This is due to the fact that the Davidonists are a group of people who have been enlightened and see no need for education institutes which might hinder their development into a greater being. Therefore, the government is afraid that all the teachers might be jobless if such a movement is encouraged and cause massive uneployments.
Economic
A Davidonist, being the great intellect and businessman, always reaps immense profits and revenue. Since only a minority of the population will eventually become true davidonists, there is a general discouragement to the potential Davidonic candidates from the other unfortunate souls who are unable to achieve Davidonism. This is because they are afraid of having a disparity of wealth and capital.
Social
Due to the exclusive nature of Davidonism, this incurs jealousies within the hearts of the unsuitable but willing candidates. Thus, in an attempt to ensure that no other potential candidate is able to attain DAvidonic enlightenment, they cite lies that being a Davidonist would lead to the degeneration and development of unhealthy morals such as "egoism" and " arrogance". This perception of the true Davidonist is just but a lie, due to the raging jealousy and envious nature of the incompetentcy of others to develop into a true blue Davidonist.
Well what do you know, i believe that my econs Ten year series is shouting out to me to be scribbled upon again. It brings me great reluctance, as much as i know it brings you great disappointment, to end here now. I will be back.
I know that you all are dying to praise me for my valiant efforts to educate the masses but due to the large amounts of praise e-mails that I might be receiving from other sources for just being me, I would advise you to publish the praises out on the blog page as opposed to sending me mail. Thank You for your kind Cooperation.
hahaha...er... i know my communication skills really suck lar..
should i change my name to miss communication?
sorry jon, i was referring to xiang wei's LOOOOONg intro about davidonists...
but he started criticising calebists instead..
hahaha..so, i wanna call him a..
davidOFF. like, davidoff perfume..hahaa..eau de skUNk.
hahaha
do you know that xw's email is pogreen?
i always thought it was some pong pong fruit..
but it's like PO-GREEN. u know, like a PO-box?
hahaha.. i've heard of black mail, but not green mail.
perhaps one day xiang wei will..elucidate?
hahaha..wait, that should be elaborate?
hmm.. the elusive xiang wei elucidating.... aiyoh.
anyway!!!! i must tell you about how i was walking along holland v this afternoon.
when all of a sudden, i saw these two, (pardon me if my descriptive skills are cliche/story line is anti-climatic)
black. dark clothes. wind. blowing.
flapping. cloaks. two. dark ladies.
from a distance. but not too far.
cars horning. a shriek. me. cars screeching.
junction. stop. stare.
from a junction, not too far.
i saw mrs Creffield,
and ms Ganga.
and they looked like,
the mafia.
ha-ha-ha. ok, not funy. my bro wants to play with the comp..ta! (and it's not meant to rhyme or anything lar.. please don't do some critique on me.. sigh. jus reeks of my poor communication skills.)
oh ya, did u know that if you draw the radioactive logo on your hands...
you'll be able to obtain nuclear arms?
hehz.
oh no. my brother is peeking at the post!!!
stephen: is that true! coooool! then i can get nuclear arms and bust down the whole house.
and now he's hopping around saying, i wanna get nuclear arms!!!
woe is me. so much for the afterglow.
oh well, he's chasing my mom around now with his mummified-like (nuclear) arms.

Sunday, October 05, 2003
Good evening my dear fellow and highly esteemed classmates and jon. haha. I have finally arrived in ONE piece and in the RIGHT mood to blog. (my com decided to have a rest the day before and i wasn't feeling in the right mood to blog yesterday-- no inspiration.) Well anyway the time has come to impress you guys with my breath-taking brillance which i have so decided to bestow upon you at the risk of failing my promos. (such a good excuse no?)
Ok so i admit.. i once thought that blogging was for LOSERS and pathetic little wimps who looked like shripmy aliens *jon* and could not articulate themselves clearly in words *brandon* but rather in animalistic grunts. Well you might be wondering then that in that case..What on earth am i doing here? What has exactly possesed me to degenerate to the level of tomato-faced shrimped boys and such. What happened to all the prestige and high level of intelligence that you ALL thought that was inherent in me all these while? Fret not my dearest and most intelligent classmates, and jon, i'm glad to say that it is still quite in me. The reason i'm here is because i have decided to promote class spirit and unity, at the expense of dengeration. By golly, if u guys aren't touched by now i don't know what else could move those hearts of stone.
Now, i was asking myself the other day one very important question.( on the day my com decided to have a fling with the cyber girls and was unwilling to spare me some of its time) Why should i write this? Am i sick? Do i need to subject myself to this process of karthasis to let out whatever pent up feelings of supression i have unconsciously and unwittingly accumulated? It is then that i realised the question that i should have been asking myself instead. "Why should i NOT write it?", as in the words of our dearly and most-respected sir blunden. Being the self-sacrificial person that i always am, i realised that main reason i had to write it, if not for anything else, is to expound my theories on life and try my best to get even the most unlikely possible candidates to receive the enlightenment. so therefore, jon, there is still hope for you, fear not and thank me not, for i am most willing to share with the less fortunate. Of course, another reason why i'm here would be to join in the discussion and post irrelevant stuff like song lyrics and what have you not but that's hardly a significant reason at all.
Now before you all think that this blog is just another one of the nature of "Jacking Jon", (notice the alliteration jon? i'm catching up fast.) i must clarify that it is indeed not. No doubt J.J is an extremely easy and hardly challenging task to perform, reaping tremendous amounts of delights, this blog is unfortunately not all about doing that, sorry to disappoint you all, especially michelle.( you will get your revenge some day mich, but u'll just have to bear with it for the moment and BALANCE within yourself the BLooming hatred and Bursting distaste you have for jon at the moment.) This blog shall explore the benefits and truths to the Jonstonian theory, synthesizing it with the defects of the Brandonian and Calebain theorms, and eventually result in the creation of an entirely new ideologly - the principles of the Davidonic belif.
Now please note that due to the fact that i am afraid the overwhelm you guys all at once with ALL my theories, i shall be breaking it up into several entries. It might seem to you all like i am actually stalling for time so as to come up with these theories themselves as well as to have something to write about in my next few entries but please do NOT be fooled. it is purely and entirely for your sakes that i have chose not to dump everything on you at this moment.
Getting along with it, today i shall explore the truths to Calebism. Calebism advocates, according to the Jonstonian, the proper handling of social etiquette and social relations between the opposite sexes. The ideology states that it should only tends to occur specifically in the prescence of 3 girls. This is it's flaw. Under careful examination and scrutiny of a true blue Calebist, i have noted and found the following:
a) A true calebist is able to, given ANY amounts of the opposite gender, make an equally strong sweeping sexist statement, and thus eliciting an equally or if not huger response. He does not only limit himself to 3 girls. He sees each girl as a potential victim and tries his best. (well maybe a super pretty girl would engender a greater effort on his part).
b) A true calebist, if failing to gain attention for his previous table, although i daresay that that's highly unlikely, will move to the next table and PURPOSELY jack himself, in hope of greater success. *especially if there are girls in the next table, so as to generate sympathy.*
well i would go on to point out more flaws but unfortunately my work is beckoning me. Therefore, i have hoped that i have achieved my aim of at least enlightening you lot by just the slightest bit. it is my wish that you guys might join me someday in terms of my intellectual standard. yes jon, it is a realistic goal, strive for that!
In closing, since this is my VIRGIN debut, and in an attempt to blend myself in with the general masses and make myself less perfect and more humane, i shall end with the the lyrics of one of my favourite song. Unlike the other lyrics posted here, this actually means something.
I'm trying the best that i can
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble,
when you're perfect in everyway.
Can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better lookin' each day.
To Know me is to Love me,
I must be a heck of a man.
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble,
but i'm doin the best that i can.
That's all folks. Please feel free to send your compliments and praises to pogreen@hotmail.com. Unconstructive comments will be ignored. Have fun mugging~~~

dreaming of the stars...
the best philosophies lie in music.
When the going starts to get rough
And you feel like you've had enough
Let the music take control of your soul
Take a chance and do what you feel
Your a force they cannot live without it
You gotta break the chain yeah yeah
There's a passion inside
An inner strength that drives
Can't nobody take that away from you
It's the greatest high
You set the floor on fire when you come alive
but rooted on the ground.
differentiate secx to get secxtanx.
forgot what i wanted to say, think ill remember tomorrow.
general solution of cos is 2n[pi] plusminus alpha, where alpha is the principle value in radians.

the johnstonians.
also fondly refered to as jon-stonin-agains
the johnstonians are endearing to one and all but the complexities of such men, or rather, boys, are characterised by the paradoxical nature of the relationship.
on one hand, they are constantly put-down, or shut-up.
a typical example would be as such, "shut up jon." (this is usually said in the same distasteful tone as "shut up howard") perhaps it is the short, swift, spurt of saliva between syllables that popularises this phrase but this essay attempts to do justice to the most terrible treatment of the creature we refer to as..er,...mm... oh ya, jon ong. or is it ong jon. perhaps, we'll never know.
on one hand, you are appalled at the manner he flings insults at you: so rapid, so rude, so.. real indeed, the truth hurts. but how does he do it? how does he so effectively pinpoint your true insecurities and and..and... jonathan ong - i'll never forget the day you had to be half naked to act as a servant for the film that we were making for mr welch and i merely mentioned that you had no butt and it's not like it's a bad thing or anything or i meant it as an insult ok besides it's like you're a guy so u don't have to worry about perky butts and pinchable butts and no butts about it i don't think it was nice of you to say that i was flat.
a typical conversation goes as such:
victim: should i go running?
johnstonian(without hesitation): yes!! you're fat!!
victim: ....
o monstrous monstrous! this perpetrator of disharmony unconsciously redeems himself through music, and more recently, vis a vis a-musing(or should it be, thru many musings?). since his *addiction*, allow me to use the word, negative connotations and all, he has skillfully revived the 'ah!!!', bringing us back to yonder 90 days as we relish in the rhythms of his guitar - the best anti-dote-thesis for beaten brows after {mrs} Geetha lessons.
so do we admire him for his baseness? his rudimentary speech? his genuine tone? his HONESTY? perhaps we should have named him Frank.
In conclusion, (or because it's getting late and we have math!!)
three step guide to becoming a john-stonin-again:
1. the bart simpson haircut
2. indulge in poetry. and music.
3. swagger around in a slick jacket - bright blue and yellow has proven to be the most effective.
Only pretty girls may apply - to stand in line.
(er...must be Christian and prepared to play second fiddle to his guitar; hmm..maybe you could harmonise?)
h a h a
i a m i n a w e of b r a n d o n ' s e l o q u e n c e and,
to mimic jon's long ago post,
what we have just witnessed is *clear e v i d e n c e*
that pupils of our it-savvy generation employ "blogging" as
means to achieve closure.
is this also known as c a t h a r s i s?
i was very sad when i read jon's entry on othello..
i dunno.. thinking abt what brandon said abt, enjoying the book,
i think i ultimately, believe it or not, (yes, u most probably will), adore the subjects
we're studying in school now. AND,
jon!! don't try to hide it leh.. we know that u're actually in love with desdemona lar.
are our minds but sponges, and our pleasures expunged when we indulge in u-know-what?
hmmm..there's a reason why we should adopt the blog title as our mantra...heheheheheh.
*grin* learn from yesterday (could fit in with brandon's view on consistency), live for today (yes, now we all know that philosophical rambling on the gift, i.e. the present) and HOPE FOR TOMORROW!!! hahaha.
i love that quote C: and kudos to everyone for producing that wonderful booklet of othello notes!!! yes, it's amazing what we can do as a class!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to mister koh: hehe...can u c? i'm trying to be clear,concise,coherent, hehe. failing again. blah!

all of you just stop mugging now. seriously. if you havent realized by now, mugging is totally useless, and if you havent been paying attention or reading notes for the past few months, there's really nothing you can do to help it now. and im sure most of you have been reading notes for the past few months anyway, albeit in varying degrees and amounts, and that's why you all will pass the promos, cos there is this wonderful thing called CONSISTENCY, and this other thing called INHERENT GENIUS which will get you through. but if you do insist on continuing to study and attempt to absorb whatever knowledge you might have missed, please dont study for the sake of studying. try and acutally enjoy the subject you're studying, try to maintain a casual, happy manner when you read and study. the knowledge enters your head much easier. okay, maybe stuff like othello seems like damn useless and stuff, but if you juts chill for a while, and try your best to enjoy the play, and not memorize quotes like mad, it will seem so much more interesting.
anyway we're halfway there so like, can relax man. actually i gave up before the thing started. dont you realize that STUDYING IS FUTILE. surrender now.

BECAUSEI'MCOMPLILINGYOUROTHELLONOTES!!!!!!!!
sigh.
been a pleasure.
is it my imagination or is the font bigger? goodness knows, i may be delusional. ah yes brandon's right... i was wondering about that. for some reason i haven't really started actually studying econs yet... and its umm 12 am yes. hopefully all the understanding and tests throughout the year are supposedly sufficient to aid me in the econs paper tomorrow, umm today. and haha jon guess what we were doing when you were blogging and the rest mugging... we were... yes you guessed it folks, playing bridge/daidee once again. strange how we don't play it that much throughout the year and play it more near or during exams. maybe its a way of destressing. anyway had a nice interesting talk with yina brandon and po yew this evening at starbucks. was erm supposed to be studying econs but i think we got rather distracted. i think its not very good... i shouldn't be slacking so badly so near the exams. wrong time anyway. but i think its a bad time for exams too... or i'm in the wrong mood. in a terrible funk these days... just feel terribly... down... wrong... strange. ohwell... what to do... there's exams to be handled, if not i'm just going to flunk out and go poly. if they'll take me that is. or sit for probationarys... oh no... i'm having thoughts and visions of doom. oh but that's subjective too isn't it. oops oops rambling on the class blog at midnight before econs paper isn't right... must... go revise some more concepts. okay... cheerios everyone good luck for econs, though no one would read this before the paper haha, and the rest of the papers yea? love ya all and take care :)
