CHEMISTRY SPA IS FINALLY OVER! ALL OVER! NEVER GONNA APPEAR IN MY LIFE AGAIN!
haha, but it was stupid anyway, when everyone already knew the question even before we stepped into the lab.
and there's still bio SPA tml...

comon tests are arriving really soon. and human nature is slowly beginning to show. people suddenly starting to be nice to those who really excel in a certain subject, and they totally ignore you when u ask a question because they know you won't do well anyway. mug clubs starting to form, some join because they really need someone to study with, while others simply wanna take advantage of the smarties inside the club. people starting to behave weirdly, ponning lectures and tutorials, having absolutely no respect for even their own subjects tutors, only to come back begging them when they're short of 1 or two marks to get an 'A'. people trying to act as if they don't care and will do badly when they actually rush home everyday and mug like crazy. i mean there's nothing wrong with wanting to study and scoring good grades, why do people have to hide the fact that they are doing that? just because they don't wanna be labelled as muggers because muggers usually look like nerds? nver mind, these are all human nature. who knows? maybe i belong to one of those too, at least i've skipped 2 lectures already because of the stupid LT5 having no aircon. you're actually studying in a bomb shelter!

saw a bunch of intellectually challenged kids in bedok burger king today which totally changed my mood for the better. it was really cool how their teacher brought them there and asked them if they had 4 dollars to buy a students meal. if they had, they could go to the counter themselves and buy them and for those who don't the teacher will help to pay for them. and they were having a lot of fun as they were eating, with absolutely no sign of stress for exams or academic problems. not only that, that treat each other damn nicely, sharing food and drinks and talking and joking. contrast that to the ugly side of humans that's hovering all around us... why can't people just be like them? without worries, having fun together and friendship is like the most important thing in their life. this is something we really ought to learn from them... makes me think of the time spent in cambodia with the kids at hope village. althought they are comparatively less smart than the kids in singapore, but nobody in the village looks down on anyone. everyone is equal and everyone is everyone's friend. no competition (except in games), no backstabbing, only a simple and happy life.

this is something VJ seriously lacks. how many times have we heard the teacher going up there to appeal to "students taking at least one 's' paper"? asking them to go for this seminar, that seminar, this talk, that sharing session, to hand up this form and that form. so those not taking 's' papers are dead issit? i'm sure everyone knows, there's a whole lot of scholarships out there that do not require an 's' paper, yet the school doesn't recognise this fact. all they know is 's' paper= smart... no 's' paper = leave you to die. and teachers are starting to hand scholarship stuff to selected students secretly, not even giving the rest a chance to know what issit about exactly. what is this man? shouldn't the school treat everyone with equality? we try to stop racial discrimination, sexual discrimination, but what's this about the academic discrimination? by the time someone without an 's' paper does enought to score 4 'A's, all the chances for him would already have been gone... seriosuly, VJC sucks at this.
