Higher Chinese Prelim 1?
It can be summed up in 3 words: what the fuck. Overall I think I'd do quite well for Paper 2, but the problem is that a lot of unknown words here and there. For example, I couldn't understand what the fuck was the Chinese version of 'mirage'. Yes, it's the illusion in deserts kinds of thing. Not desserts you prick.
But I got the point anyway, or at least I hope I did.
Which reminds me of the particular comprehension passage on 纯真. It's a song by Mayday(this does not translate to 'help'), and the song just started playing in my head. I couldn't think anymore, so I let myself stagnate. It's a good feeling, yo. Then back to work, and I made off with exactly 80words for summary. I don't even know how many marks I could secure out of the 20 allocated. I don't even know whether I can pass not. Scary.
And Paper 1 was lagi worse. I finished everything in 70mins. Left with 50mins, I started drawing shit(as I did on paper 2) and snails and earthworms. Then with 20more minutes to go, I discovered a fatal error in my letter to my friend about 'Responsibility'. I knew that it was pointless re-writing the whole thing since the process is too tedious already, and face it--there wasn't much time left. So I tried to make everything sound nicer and more to-the-point by adding one sentence. We'd see how that sentence fares in the teachers' jurisdiction of my paper.
And it was unsettling at the 70th minute how the others were spamming words and asking for extra paper, while I was drawing shit and looking awkward. There was no one else as slack as me. My case was unprecedented. I guess I finish stuff too fast. Damn. My brain power doesn't allow tardiness of any sort.
Oh, which reminds me. The comprehension passages set in the paper 2 were all meaningful. It revolves around cornerstones of life, namely optimism, use of tactics, graciousness, and whatnot. I forgot, honestly.
Anyway today was the first training with the Part As. I should feel honoured--I have 2 posts. Part A cum Part D attached spec.: feel honoured to be reading this post. They damn cute. I like them a lot. Their pre-pubescent voices. As in seriously, there's not much of a difference between their voices and that of a child. Never mind. They'd crack soon enough..
Then after training played soccer with LS WX CRY AL(not me lah) SY YC SC and of course me. I managed to score quite a bit so I guess I'm lucky.
Then dinner at J8 Mac. Not the computer system.
SC was talking about some prediction that might come true on 2012. Some astrological chimology, which would result in the destruction of Earth, or at least of Mankind. Man is not kind by the way. Either way, it's quite scary to think about Death, isn't it? I personally went emo and the song aforementioned played in my mind once more. Then I realized one thing.
Perhaps it's not so much about how much life you have left, but how you feel about what's left. If you keep whining and telling others that you don't want to die young, you'd die meaninglessly. Not saying that Death is meaningful, but at least live on meaningfully, and die after having lived the most meaningful life in the universe. I tried to psyche this thought, but the effort was futile.
Either way it isn't healthy to think too much. There's just no point anyway. No matter how much you wish it away, it won't disappear. So act like the threat doesn't exist. This might be called self-delusion, but at least you live a happier life. Right?
Talking about happiness reminds me of my school bookshop. Just the thought of the all-encompassing store induces an unprecedented boner, making me harder than diamonds. I issue you pricks a challenge--does your school bookshop sell you smiley balls? Or $2 rubik's cube? Or sweets(which if taken in large quantity may have an effect similar to that of laxatives)? Or socks, PE pants, PE shirts, school pants?
Mann I love my school bookshop. The mere thought gave me so much excitement I shat in my pants.
No wait, shat is the past perfect tense of shit. Not this warped definition provided by wordnet:
Verb
- S: (v) denounce, tell on, betray, give away, rat, grass, shit, shop, snitch, stag (give away information about somebody) "He told on his classmate who had cheated on the exam"
- S: (v) stool, defecate, shit, take a shit, take a crap, ca-ca, crap, make (have a bowel movement) "The dog had made in the flower beds"
So now you people know that such a word really exists in the English Language. Thank me for this piece of valuable information.
Also, if you have yet to notice, there is only a number which can be spelt according to alphabetical order, and I'd leave it for you to guess.
