oh okay, i hope you're fine
there's been a lot that i've not updated about. i shall attempt to do it now. ah well, last minute stuff is what i do ALWAYS
last sunday: met up with jacob. was awesome awesome awesome to meet up and chat and talk nonsense after such a long time. since i hardly have the time to do anything this year, i might as well get it done before things kick into full gear (hah, as if they haven't already. i really mean higher than full gear, which is highly possible in mjc) so i resolve to meet up with people that i haven't met all before the month before block test. huda is first up on my list, so huda you must must call me! and then oke and ranjani and eileena and all the ppl who mean much to me but i have neglected. i'm a terrible friend. period.
monday: raised a flag for an empty assembly plaza, but went ok nonetheless. day was boring otherwise.
wednesday: band practice, went through phantom, which i adore, and carmen which i don't quite like although it sounds nice. i get this feeling that its a bit disjointed. junior's fear of vincent has increased even more because he tested them on scales. hope james and chelsea and geraldine didn't die when he did it one by one haha. he's not that bad really, he's quite a good soul and a very good clarinettist.
friday: half day. had lion dance in the morning which i didn't see that much of. after which we had lessons during which i was half dead and sleepy and whiny. then the concert, in which MCS and ICS really rocked, and when Yijun sang like a goddess and Evelyn in CO looked and sounded very nice on stage. then came this whole dialogue on chinese which i didn't understand cos they didn't provide translations. justin did that for us and we found out they were talking about love, which totally baffled me because i don't quite get what it has to do with new year. after that i went for a swenson's outing with 7 others from class, which proved to be enjoyable and quite an adventure to some of us haha. i want the WHOLE CLASS to go out next time. would be more fun. aft block test maybe?
what took the cake during the week was the student dialogue. seriously, i pity the SC that has to put up with ridiculous and DOWNRIGHT RETARDED suggestions which, sadly, came from the J2s. shouldn't we, as the seniors of the school have more brains? some of the most ridiculous suggestions i've heard in my entire life?
1.
build bridges to better connect the school. i thought we should ALL know by now how much a problem it would pose in terms of COST and ENGINEERING THE DAMN THING. AND you have to hire an architect to make sure that it doesn't bring the building tumbling down on us as its being built. just making sure it is stucturally sound is one thing. then after that the school has to make us pay for it because it'll be probably over budget.
2.
the western food is too oily. if you don't like the food, don't eat it. i've never tasted the food from there, BUT i do know that there are people who like the western food in school, and need a western food fix once a week. now, you can always oycott the western food stall to get your point across and place your money somewhere else like the noodles stall or buy sandwiches from the snacks stall or fruits, since you're such a health nut. ugh.
3.
water heaters in the sports complex. the suggestion isn't stupid, or retarded, and i understand the fact that people like to bathe with warm water. but the thing is really that if they were to undertake the project of installing a water heater in the shower area, again WE'D HAVE TO PAY. its not like we all of us are rolling in money, and its just not practical, because of the cost and the energy water heaters consume, thus translating to higher electricity bill for the school and a bigger hole in our pockets. geography students take heed! energy = burning of fossil fuels = pollution. besides, a little cold water never killed anyone. perhaps the heaters that use solar panels for energy would be a better idea, like we had in prcs. only downside is that they don't function when there is no sun, and that they are a bit expensive. but quite a good investment if you ask me.
there were of course some very good and valid suggestions. like the school is leaking. which is true. it makes things slippery and dangerous. and the plate size thing. and study tables.
if only some students would be more satisfied with things we have, and learn to distinguish between what we actually need and what we want. it is a school for pete's sake, not a hotel, so we can't exactly have everything we want now can we? i hope next year's student dialogue would be much better, and that people ask for practical things, not just anything. then again i had better be resigned to the fact that some people will be irrational even if you don't want them to be, or try not to make them be that way.
watched starwars. realised that it was a tragedy, which i didn't notice when i watched part of it last year with the rest of last year's j1s during learning journey. it is really sad, now that i think of it. the tragic hero is of course anakin skywalker, a great jedi, the chosen one, who falls into evil because of being naive, his aspirations and because of his great love for his wife. i used to think that star wars was some science fiction mumbo jumbo, but it really is deeper than that when you look past the surface. appreciate it better after i looked at it again. reading twice, or in this case, watching twice, really helps sometimes.
my dad is whining to use the computer. therefore i will get lost.
