Hey Joe

SPM results are out. No surprise then, that I am disposed to be rather more communicative today than I have been as of late, especially considering the way in which this event concerns myself. My results are as follows:

BM: B+ (surprisingly)
Bible Knowledge: B+ (to my eternal shame)
Moral: B (much wasted effort here)
Sejarah: C (again, a surprise as I'd expected an E at most)

Bio:A-
Chem:A-
Physics:A
English: A+ (I'd probably have self-harmed if I'd gotten any less)
Mod Math: A

aaaand.....

Addmaths: A-

I know. Those of you who've gotten an A or higher for addmaths will be wondering what all the fuss is about, but us lesser mortals are disposed to be quite content -happy even- with an A-. Especially in view of the fact that I failed addmaths in my trials.

So screw you Additional Mathematics. I WIN.

Also....a post I found on a friend's blog.

To all who read, apply this to your own situation

"To any student who thinks its the end of the world coz of a low TER, you missed the point of CAE. You have 2 choices:

1) Pity yourself

OR

2) WAKE UP

I didn't train any of you to become the typical man with their "Die la, die la" nonsense. RISE above your challenges. Look for ALTERNATIVES. Champions are MOULDED by HARD... KNOCKS. There are no problems in life, just solutions waiting to be applied."

~A Wise Lecturer

Twilight. It's that gay.

Hail.

It feels like a long time since my last post- I'd yet to start college back then. The past few weeks have been...interesting, to say the least. So far college is everything I'd hoped it would be, except maybe for the compulsory community service.

Lit class in particular is something I enjoy. Not just for the literature, but for the society as well. It has been a blessing in that respect: for some reason, I take to my fellow literature students more easily than others. Probably because the only people who take English Lit. are people like myself. It's been quite humbling as well. I was used to being one of the best in English back in secondary school but that is no longer the case. At best, I'm amongst equals. Also...10 marks out of 20 for poem analysis?!? I thought I was pretty good before, but the marks don't seem to agree. Maybe you could give me some lessons, Weng Yee? :p

And oh yes. My Bio teacher definitely deserves a mention. Very good teacher, with a wicked sense of humour.

Also, to my friends: Dann, Sze and Zhi Yan, it's been a pleasure. Loathe as I am to admit it, I'll miss you crazy people.

Other things that have happened in the intervening weeks include:

Book list for English Lit.

1.Jane Eyre!
2.Wide Sargasso Sea
3.The Oxford Anthology of English Poetry Volume II: Blake to Heaney
4.King Lear
5.Hamlet
6.Great Expectations
7.Life of Pi
8.The Wife of Bath's Prologue and Tale

This ought to be interesting. Don't know anything about 2 and 8 but I approve of 1 and 7! Not least because I've already read them and I like! Especially 1. :) Then there's Dickens, Shakespeare and poetry...Not sure what to think of those yet.

FREEEEDOOOO- Whait...wut?

Hello blog. You missed me? No, I'm not friggin' anthropomorphosising you- oh wait...

Anyway. SPM is over, in case you failed to notice all the sudden outbreak of insanity and inane joy amongst the mid-teens. Or was that zombies? O.o

DUN DUN DUUUUUN...

Still getting used to it. Some parts of my brain still insist that it's time to study at so and so o'clock. The perversity! I could have done with that before SPM....

Cloak and Dagger

Quote from a friend (I think you'll like this, Weng Yee):

To be living a synthetic life, wearing synthetic masks, but feeling real emotions... A bewildering and painful contradiction.

Anyway the wind blows...

...doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Back from graduation day, or in my vernacular, Much Ado About Nothing. No teary farewells or last-minute displays of solidarity for me, thanks. I've had done with this place, and I'm glad of it.

So. Insert over-sentimental reminiscing about the past here, 'cause I won't.
