Today, for some unforseen reason, I felt that I learned, not in terms of text, but 'outside text' so to speak. I was allowed to think and understand, about what my Chinese teacher was trying to bring across. And during PE, I was able to apply what I learned from soccer (tho it's really basic) into the game. So, what I meant by learning was actually got to do with experience (PE) and ideas (Chinese).
As I said earlier, We had soccer for PE today instead of the tiring and irritating never-ending running, made worst with stations (conditioning). It was pretty fun, although I know I can't kick the ball straight, or curve it. Soccer fans, you know what I mean. In THAT way, I am a soccer-retard. So we were attempting to kick the ball straight, to designated people (of cos, my ball refuse to do so) for the 1st half of PE. In the second part, we had a mini friendly competition. And I was glad I watch the EPL. The rest of the girls are like.. "what's soccer?" When I asked them if they want to play the offside rule, they were completely clueless. I think most of them don't know the basics, but I guess it's no crime in not knowing the rules of the game you are not interested in. Just like I know no shit about tennis, or badminton.
The game was hilarious. But, it was a good game. The fact that the people didn't know the rules was really funny, as it definitely gave me an advantage. the score was a measly 1-0 but what the hell, I had fun so sod it. I opted to be the defender come goalie,seeing as we've got only 4 players in each team, there really wasn't a choice. But I liked my position where I don't get the pressure of having the obligation to score. Plus, my darlings are defenders and goalies ( ok fine, there's mid and forward too...). So, when my teacher told me that we don't need a goalie, i was like "ok, fine" and became riise-like. Where Riise although plays the role of the defender, goes forward and threatens the other team. So me and a girl, I belief her name was Cheryl (not my bestie, cheryl, another one). She and I were passing the balls to one another, and we are able to outwit the opposing team's memeber (maybe cos I feel this burst of adrenaline, propelling me to run, while the others were pretty heavy on their feet). According to my teacher, we were using the 2 to 1 technic (2 player vs 1). And I was able to run with the ball and scoring in the process, tho there is a girl at the net. *gloats*. Sorry peeps, couldn't contain it, it was my first goal.
Also, Girls, being girls, used to games like netball and captain's ball is not used to games like soccer. One major difference. In those 2 hand ball games, one stop to pass the ball to a team mate. However, for soccer, movement is allowed. Dribbling was allowed. So when I had the ball approximately near the opposing team's net, I was looking for someone where I can pass my ball to, so that person can help score. The opposing team was guarding my team mates heavily, and they actually left the net unguarded. When I saw that, I couldn't help laughing and grinning. "oh, ok" I said aloud. "You don't want to guard ur net, and guard my mates, then it's fine with me. I'll feel free to score then." was the underline meaning. I attempted to dribble to the ball, and at the last sec, the girl knew what I was thinking. She ran to the net, and attempted to guard it. I knew I could out-run her, but, I was having reservations. The grass was slippery, and my shoes ain't all that safe. So, as I was running, and tried to kick the ball, I slipped and the other girl had to grab hold of my arm. It's really rotten to have missed a chance in scoring due to slippery grasses, especially when I am not wearing spiked soccer boots. But heck man, it was fun.
Liz: Sorry that I didn't pass the ball to you. It wasn't that I thought you were incapable of handling it, it was just that you were heavily guarded, while Cheryl was always open. Sorry babes. And to sam too (tho i bet she won't know of this entry).
As for Chinese, my teacher was discussing with us on why it is very difficult to master Chinese, as oppose to other subjects. Of cos, we gave the usual arguements, don't know how to read it, don't know how to write it, ain't in alphabets, no environment etc. And we analyse the situation. Most of the difficulties we faced was with the words itself. And my teacher gave us an article which was also his thoughts. It was talking about the Chinese examination style. To my teacher, the problem was it was the examination style. Here's his thoughts:
If one is able to write a full length essay, and do a comprehension, the student is actually equipped with enough words, and is actually considered pretty good. Think English where we are given only an essay, and comprehension to do. Unlike Chinese, English does not have close passage, fill in the brackets with the CORRECT word, multiple choice questions where the meaning of phrases are tested. The whole Chinese examination format emphasize too much importance on the use of the correct word. Thus, leading students to memorise their work instead of developing their skills to write better. His classic example was "We are already pilots and able to fly an aeroplane, but the ministry wants us to take our basic theory at the same time. This conflicting focus, led students to be overly conscious of the word that they use, they have to makes sure it's the CORRECT word." And he compared it with the English essay. For our English essaysd, we make mistakes too, in the form of spelling and grammar. And it's the same with Chinese. But the Chinese system places too much emphasis on the usage of the right word, and students are pressred unneccessarily.
And I totally agree. We should elimate the write 'correct' words part from our exams, close passage(where they attempt to trick us with words with close meanings), fill in the blanks, mulitple choices, are pretty redundant. But i must admit, I do see the rationale in it. However, this system is more harmful than good. It provides an additioal obstacles to the students, and remove their passion for the language from the start, making us abhor it totally now. Singapore, speak. Although they say they are changing the system in 2006, but we don't know how so. The examination format needs serious re-thinking and analysis.
That's all for today folks. I'll write later~

That's what a normal JC student would be facing, unless one is exceptionally brilliant.. which I muz confess, I am not. Neither am I the intellectual Adrian Mole claims to be. MUGGING! ECONS! LIT! NAPOLEON! BUREACRACY!! These words are flashing in my mind. Note tt i said napoleaon and bureaucracy instead of hist. That's cos Hist gets the chunkier part.
I just got a reality check. A lil late, I muz say. And i totally regret it. 3 weeks 3 weeks 3 weeks!!!!! Limited time, and maximum syllabus. I am really screwed. Yes, pls say it in my face. I AM SCREWED! I was hyperventilating earlier on when I had that reality check. It made worst when I failed the Hist test which I thought I had grasp well. Note word: THOUGHT. ARGH! It's really depressing and demoralising that i should fail my test NOW.
I doesn't help when I am an ARTs student. Humanities=memorising=stress=white hair=death= almost impossible. I must absolutely mug. I promise myself that. I wanna promote. Failure is not an option. Less slp.. argh! I've been dealing with little slp for the last couple of days. Totally not advisable. I am a wreck, even up til now. I've been a wreck for a couple of hours, where I suffered thru school and tuition. Hopefully i can slp well enuf tonight. I need to MUG tmr.. not thaat i haven't start mugging, that is. But i need to pay attention to what i am mugging. Now, that's what i meant. Sorry peeps, PW's gotta wait. Period. I am not willing to compromise my promos with PW, esp when i have so lil time.
To DEE (if she ever reads this of cos): Hmm, thanx for offering to accompany me to the police. But I think i gotta warn this guy 1st, and if he persist, then i'll contact the police. But as i told lotsa ppl, i need to get that courage to call him to piss off. Thanx anyway..
Also, don't think i've got the time to update. only taggy i guess. Besides, my com's got Veed (virus-ed). so lesser time to update. anyway, gtg ppl

Geez,
how cld she.. *pretends to be wounded*. Alrite, Cher darling, feel free to post any of ur entries here la(tho u may think "wad e..?!") haha.. ppl, to access cher's blog, go to www.superduperlurrrve.blogspot.com -->i helped to think of the name *beams*.. ok fine, only the luRRRve part i guess.. but still...!!! it's better than fag queen eh cher?
To maril (and other readers interested to know): sigh, i wld call the police la, but the freaking coward uses private no. i do hope the police is able to trace. That perv dared to call again last nite, or this morn. can u belief his cheek? at midnight. damn.. he is getting bolder. makes me wanna punch him. As for changing the no. i'm thinking of the inconvenience man. besides, i love my nos. home and handphone. However, I do have one problem. I did badmouth a couple of ppl when i was in sec2, including ahem, my stepdad. Gosh, i do uber regret it now. The past is coming to haunt me. I really do wanna tell him to "GO TO HELL!" really! Sigh.. guess i shld give him ample warning eh..
That shit head called last night (as mentioned above). he really is a coward (and i am thinking am i bigger coward still, for not telling him to sod off, sigh~) he really is getting daring. he actually calls more often and at night. Of cos he asked for my mom again, thinking its mt name, sorry freak, that ain't my name. So i told him the truth, that she was slping. muahahaha.. Y i sae he is a coward. when i picked up the phone, the other side was silent. I had to repeat my 'hello' 3-4 times b4 that coward dares to ask for me, or my mom. wadever. hey, maybe u can help me write a script to tell him to go to hell the next time he calls. Gosh, thrice in a week. How lucky will i get? and how thick is he? can't he get the hint?!
On a happier note, it's my week break (whoope doo~). But i guess it ain't much to cheer about. its suppose for me to study. which i think i will.. hard! i can do it! one problemo, where?! i cannot study at home, i tried todae, and only got slpy while doing my econs tys. This really does prove that i cannot study at home, no matter wad my parents belief. it's just too tempting to procrastinate and do other things. Instead of reading my hist, i went to watch volleyball in chn 23. haha.. CUTE GUY! the men's volleyball, argentina vs Aussie. Oh gosh. nosebleed. the aussie guy. Argentinians look too count dracular for my taste. haha. and they are sooooo freaking tall. *gulps*
Volleyball have stopped! until after promos. Yeah and sigh. i am really starting to like volleyball more, besides, helps me lose wt *winks*, but, i guess time ain't on my side, esp after sch when i am so tired. and waiting for my cca to start is really exasperating.
Argh! am really bored now. in my dad's place. Home's computer is still eek! Virus-ed! argh. and i can't blog nor emails at home. sigh sigh. so ppl, pardon the few updates coming ur way. not that i dun want to. I can't. unless u can tell me how to handle my virus. I am always getting virus!! argh! so irritating!!!
Shall stop here i guess. SMile ppl~

From this title, it's really easy to deduce wad I am sooo gonna rant and rave about. AGENDA: perverts!. Argh.. these ppl are so irritatingly sickening, and i feel like puking when i think of them. Gosh, am i like a pervert attracter or smth? Or is there a post it sticker on my forehead that says "harass me.." Shit u u assholes!!! *makes a rude gesture* First that hotel big shot (remember that LRT guy?), den this cowardly phone harasser. I stress the Word COWARDLY.. which he is..
It started out simple enough. It happened approx 3yrs ago, when i was that angsty youth of 14, where i hated everything. It was on saturday morning, and I was slping soundly, when my phone rang which woke me up. I picked up the phone. thinking it was my parents (they sometimes call to wake me up or take an prder for my breakfast). So this guy asked for my mom's name, ME--> that's her initials btw. It sounded really like my name, so as I was still semi aslp, I thought he was looking for me, so I said "what?" I don't exactly remember wad happened but we talked for about an hr. (argh.. i'm mega uber stupid!). Our converation *shudders*, mine was simply innocent enuf, ranting and complaining about bitches in my school. While he to give sound advice. Thinking back, I so wanted to puke. That old pervie.. Damnation!
His side of the conversation however is not sooo innocent. Body parts.. like duh~~~.. typical eh.. That freak~. So I was pretty unnerved (and v.polite at tt time), and I REALLY wanted to get off the phone, but i Just didn't know how. So u now know, how i ended up talking to him for an hr. So, i had to rush to sch, so i told him call back next time. So he did call. Approx once a yr.. and this time, i tried to find excuses to hang up the phone, There was once when i was washing my face when he called. And with a foamy face, i told him to call back later. He didn't. Prob afriad tt i'll ask someone else to pick up the phone. There is a couple of times when he called when i siad i was busy or not free or slping. So last nite he decided to call me again. YOU BASTARD! As usual, i was taking a nap. So, this guy i think he asked for my mom again.. but as usual, i heard it as my name. He sound really like my dr. uncle. Same voice. So i thought it was my uncle calling regarding my back problem. (i get freqent back prbs). So when he said " how r u?" i was like huh? talking bout my back izzit? So totally not sure. So i Said ok la. Den i realised it ain't my uncle! it's That sick moron who tells me his name is AT! sadly, i can't track his no. it's private no. irritating coward. he ask y i sounded like tt. So i told him rather irritably, that he woke me up from my slp.
AT: So how can i cheer u up.
me: by putting the phone down and lemme slp (hidden meaning: piss off)
AT: Huh, putting the phone down ah. Let's talk la. So how r u?
me: *thinking. how many time he must ask tt??!!!* ok la... *in a ultra slpy voice. ther were frequent pauses in the conversation, i refuse to speak unless neccessary.. monosyllabus is recommened*
AT: ok la.. i'll call another time
me: ok.. call another dae *thinking.. call another yr, decade. best still, don't!*
So we put down the phone. Hrs later, he called again! THAT NERVE. i recognise that voice! But this time, i heard him say "ME pls" ah ha! so i told him to hold and told my mom to pick up the phone. It is after all her name.. And it ain't right for me to ans her calls *winks*. However, that coward put down the phone. Stupid coward. Now i hope his cowardise will gimme the courage to ask him to SOD OFF!. Any recommended ideas??? Pls just tell me. I soooo need to know. That freaking bastard!!!!!!!!!!
Pissed OFF u sucker~

my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder,
all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter,
she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.
