I just changed my French class from Saturday mornings to the afternoons. Julie recommended it really; it’s faster and the people are funner. (There goes my engrish) She was very happy to discover that there was a Julie in her first French class and likes calling me zchooolie. Anyway, she’s a very sporty person, completely [...]

Six Feet Off the Ground

Yesterday felt as if it was going to be long and draggy. It started off horribly, since there was just half an inch of milk left in the carton, that some git left behind. I’m the kind of peron who needs to have their cereal taking a bath in a decent level of milk. I’m [...]
Just a Little Unwell

I am one of those rare people who can proudly declare that they’ve never taken an MC during JC. (That sentence reads very awkwardly, doesn’t it?) I had my horrible allergy days, but I never actually caught anything. But since starting work at SJI, I’ve fallen sick twice. And not one of those 24 hour [...]
I Can See Clearly Now

This has not been a good start to the week. I had a good Easter; met up with old friends and bummed around. But instead of slowly easing myself into the swimming pool of work, I have been shoved in violently, as I am every Monday. Don’t get me wrong, my workload is comparatively light [...]
Tears on My Pillow

I am such a sentimental loser. I tried throwing my notes away yesterday (it never struck me before just how much there were) and I found that I couldn’t. Well, actually, I managed to junk the econs and SEA history ones quite joyfully (I’m sorry about that Ms Goh. I know how much effort you [...]
Back to School

I went back to vj yesterday. It was good seeing the teachers and everything, because despite the fake grass, I was reassured that in essence, the school had stayed the same. Which really won’t be true come the end of the year, with so many of them leaving. But seriously…the fake grass does not look [...]
Something Rotten

Protests are an integral part of the democratic machine. The government in Singapore likes pretending that by banning protests (what bureaucrat in their right mind would approve a application to protest?) they are protecting the country’s stability. This is getting the logic all bakwards. Protests are a litmus test for instability, discontent and government screw-ups. [...]
You Don’t Say

Chinese New Year is a time when people ask you obvious questions and make prosaic remarks based on stereotypes. I realised that this occurs most intensely during that festive period, but for the longest duration between the time you step out of your last A level paper and the day you matriculate. This is a [...]
Something Beautiful

Feeling disappointed after getting back the results from a major exam had become a norm for me. So when the A-levels came out, I felt an even more powerful burst of happiness than the fart after the first JG’s round. I never expected that this huge thing would come to me; not after all the [...]
His Girl Friday

A lot of things are happening tomorrow. I have to go for a parent teacher meeting. I am going to get my A level results back. The second round of the JGs is at 2030hours. On one hand, enough time has passed for me to lower my expectations and be able to deal with any [...]
