The long day. closes

firstly. screw Top 3 Achievements. screw it.

anyway. had a tiring day. busy from morn till night.
Morn went science center with my guest and my family of course. and its like right at the other end of singapore. saw the china inventions exibition which was quite boring. actually very. and i was bored out of my nuts and started thinking of rubbish there. After that went IMM for the afternoon for lunch and afterwhich walked around there till like 5pm? 6? not sure.. anyway. after that. went eat dinner.. den came home.. at which i have been on the com till now. Doing what else but the hated T3A. mine quite short. cos i am afterall a great slacker. and haven really did much of anything. argh. this is simply not my cup of T3a... lolz.

real tired. why cant life be easier. why cant ppl stick with tried and tested methods. why dont just ask teachers to write some testimonial. instead of making something so difficult called a School Graduation Cert. seriously, i think it is overrated.. this business of moving away from academic achievements only. not that i am a mugger and believe the only way to greatness is to mug non stop 24/7. Its just, if u can't even get decent grades, i dun see the point in excelling in other stuff. Its like who wants a student who could do every thing in the world but study. It will be like useless. and i certainly dun wan doctors of the future to be some brute who only excelled in sports or something. Like in fantastic 4, Reed Richards said something to the captain of the army or something something like that. like "The quarterback only remained a quarterback while i became one of the greatest minds on earth".. I respect sportsmen, i honour them, its just i really think some of the MOE new policies are overrated. And having been to NZ, which in a way does not put as much emphasis on grades, i dont see anything similar there. i do not see students writing testimonials for themselves, and they did get the world best scorer for the international GCE A levels last yr, didn't they? i may be wrong about everything. but one could have his views cant he?

School should be more a breeze than this is. Life should be easier.

actually planned to try and do my tutorials tonight. but stupid t3a has drained me too much. its too tiring. contacting ppl, writing, boasting, praising oneself. and having have to ask ppl for evidences to support your boasts. i dun understand this. mayb i have been too slack. perhaps if i have worked abit harder last time i would not have ended up this way.

Sometimes i just dream, of a place like narnia, where i do not not learn, but where life is a much more direct route, of adventures and miracles. Not of laws and emptiness. I may be weak, but i would rather wield a sword than my pen. I would rather fight dragons than prove hypothesis. I would rather believe in a flat world than in quantum physics. Call me a fool, "say that i'm a dreamer", but let me tell you, "i am not the only one".. and "perhaps one day, you will join us".. and "the world will live as one"... haha.

its still a long lap to go. but my legs are already hurting. dunno if i could carry myself through all this.. this has to be the toughest battle i ever faced. but i know i must fight on.

“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.”
- Winston Churchill



yeah.. that pretty sums up everything again. without victory over this ogre called A levels. I would be dead.

nth much else..

till nxt time. yeah. and for today at least.. The long day..... closes....
