Lights please, AJC.
As mentioned in one of blog posts a few days back (on Wednesday), I mentioned that AJC students are easily contented, like how poor people would be contented with just normal, simple fare. As long as it's enough to fill their stomachs, it's OK.
Beggars can't be choosers.
But if you deprive beggars of what they feed on, if you trample on their dignity, you're fucked. I remember LDW mentioned something about how you cannot give beggars like 5 cents, they will spit on you.
This is a clear example of how I'm spitting on AJC:
Yep, that was the scene at the canteen, 7.20AM in the morning.
Anyone in a school would know that corridor lights are normally switched on because schools don't particularly enjoy having their students missing classes because of retarded things like 'tripped in the dark', so why is it so dark in AJC?
Because..
...the school no money pay electrical bills.
No, the power tripped or something along those lines.
Which brings to mind what happens when you live in slightly older houses, where the fuse/electrical/whatever-you-call-it box is just beside the door. Whenever you experience a blackout, you check that box to see which switch flipped, and thus locate the faulty area.
My house used to take many trips, and I've learnt a thing or two.
Now I've moved into a newer house, and the box is in the 'bomb shelter', and we don't need to refer to it at all.
I guess you guys can't really get my point yet. My point is--AJC is freaking old. I don't know what went wrong back then but to have your electricity fail during the preliminary examinations itself is quite epic already. What's worse is this complete blackout days after the first fiasco which is the aforementioned preliminary examinations. Did the administrator actually think that the first case is an isolated incident and that power trips will not occur in the future?
Well, that's a dangerous way of thinking and apparently they are proven wrong. And since they are, I do hope they will look into this and ensure that we can take our A levels without fear of running out of cool air provided by the air-conditioners (since I'm bound to break out in cold sweat, this doesn't really affect me but I'm just speaking for the general population), or time-management provided by the digital clock (the teacher had to update the time he wrote with a marker on the whiteboard every 5 minutes), and no lights (contrary to popular belief, our roof is still standing and doing its best to block out natural sunlight and if AJC can't provide us with artificial light maybe they should look into solar power, ie removal of the roof).
Really, just provide us with standard examination conditions observed by other JCs in Singapore., and I'd lose a lot of reason to hate AJC. Maybe this is a form of psychological warfare, to instill within us an effect similar to the Stockholm syndrome. We're all trapped in AJC, they threaten us with retarded shit like the lack of electricity (a basic human right), and then they give it back to us during the examinations so that we feel indebted to them even though they were the ones who should provide us with it in the first place.
Really clever, AJC, really clever. I saw through this, so too bad for you, administration!
-shakes fist at everyone in the General Office-
Well this is quite off-topic but I'm going to write it down anyway since I uploaded the pictures already. Has anyone been to Stadium before? As in the Circle Line MRT station 'Stadium'. It can be quite intimidating actually. I've been through there once when I was going home after witnessing the burning of the 'Olympic' fire, and on several other occasions and I've always found the colour mix of the walls very intriguing. I've never alighted there though so I've never experienced just how intriguing it actually is.
It actually is more intriguing than the walls itself.
Well, if you're a stuntman and you're looking for a challenge, here's one. Try sliding down this:
I'm pretty sure that's at least 3 storeys high. When the escalator was bringing me up I was freaked out by the fact that if I lost my footing and my grip I will fall back down and die.
So I held on tightly and tried to lean forward.
I don't understand why it's built as such and I find it totally freaky.
Makes a good treadmill though (;
