MAAF 2010.
Normally in poor countries, people are easily satisfied. As long as they have the basic amenities like food, clothes, water, housing, electricity, they are contented and thus happy.People always talk badly about North Korea and how their quality of life is low because of their poor whatever-economics-term-you-wish-to-describe-them-with, but they forget that the North Koreans hardly protests against anything.
We can all agree that what we don't know makes us more ignorant about what we're missing out on, and this ignorance is bliss because our lives suck only when juxtaposed with the lives of others.
In short, what I'm trying to say is that all AJC people should be quite easily satisfied, as we were never given much in the first place. However, this also means that when something very basic, very essential is taken away from us, we feel the pain even more.
I felt the pain just now.
How are students supposed to take their examinations without proper ventilation? OK the story is, we had our Bio MCQ at 1PM earlier on in the hall. Perfectly normal, it wasn't that warm, but the fact remains that the power tripped.
Right now, I'd be content with AJC if the lights don't drop from above while we're doing our A levels. I just hope the electricity will be working and the school building remains intact.
AJC will collapse some day. Best to steer clear, seriously.
Guys, be educated. Make an informed choice. DO NOT COME TO AJC. It's time for this school to end, seriously. Just don't come, and the school would have to close due to no intake.
I saw this grandmother and her grandson on the bus just now. I thought that that was a warm and beautiful picture, so I took it. It was poorly taken because I was too close to them and couldn't get a clear shot without being too obvious. This is probably the best I can do:
Which brings to mind the obstinacy of people. We all need someone to rely on every now and then, but we don't show it because unlike children, we have developed a retarded sentiment, otherwise known as pride.
Yea well, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm not the boy in the picture, and I can't bring myself to be. There's something about this festive season that always affects me so, sorry if I've PMS-ed on you some way or another. What I expressed at that given time is and will remain real, but those feelings are hardly expressed because they make me child-like.
'persistence in vision' from 4 years back.
But just because I don't act like a child doesn't mean I don't feel like one. And liquid courage never did and never would help me loosen my inhibitions nor express myself better.
It's not that you pissed me off or anything. It's just that I decided to be truthful for a change.
Here's a random picture I took of the moon anyway.
It's interesting how we've all turned to electronic lanterns that cannot burn. Sure, it comes with sound effects and is a much safer way to celebrate, but isn't it like eating away at what used to be the norm? Having a candle-lit dinner, I mean lantern, makes us more careful when handling the lanterns because we don't want it to burn it before the night is over.
Kids these days simply smash their 'lanterns' on the floor, onto other people's lanterns, onto other peoples' faces, as if their lanterns are like swords. Like that fun meh? What about the thrill and subsequently a sense of loss one gets when seeing his/her lantern burning up in flames?
Why is it sometimes called 'Mid-Autumn Festival' and sometimes, 'Lantern Festival'?
Why doesn't anybody send congratulatory messages for this festive occasion?
I need virgin blood on my dick.
Random thoughts.
