Crazy Kids
So we had Service Learning yesterday, which was horribly exhausting but fun. We were already expecting a group of really hyper, noisy kids (we had to go to a primary school and carry out some activities for “challenging kids”) but MAN, they were seriously crazy! They screamed and ran and screamed and ran, it made me feel so old when I couldn’t catch up with them. They most probably watch porn as well, judging from the suspicious video they were watching.
Then some guai kids came to join the programme, so I made friends with them instead.
I guess it went better than I thought it would. There was one particular boy who annoyed the crap out of me with his big-talk-but-no-walk, but then again he’s only 10 years old… But my group had really cute kids too. Some of them reminded me of my K1 and K2 friends.
There was one particular kid who was SUPER-DIE-DIE CUTE:
DOMINIC [forgot his surname] YIK GUAN!
He was totally emo at the start of the day, along with his pal Dylan, who was super duper cute as well. I think they were upset with the heat or something, because they kept shielding their faces. SO CUTE!@#@
The next few pictures all consist of Dominic, so bear with me:
Dominic and Jiexin 
Okay, not a very flattering photo but he’s still cute nonetheless
Dominic and Joyin
Dominic and Joyin again.
Both pictures had one of them looking unglam so I had to post both. Haha.
The kid who annoyed me the most, as mentioned above. It also struck me that he looks rather similar to a long-hated enemy, which made me even more annoyed at him. But despite his annoying character, I think he was probably the most moved by us because he kept hovering around us after the programme ended. 
The arts & crafts session
Ugh I’m dead beat, too tired to go into elaboration.
But it really was a fun day, it turned out a lot better than I expected.
I will always remember Dominic!
Quickie
Haven’t been updating lately, it’s mostly just a whole lot of school and more school going on. It’s not too bad, learning econs and doing maths is quite enjoyable, just hate the long hours.
Things yet to be done
1. Apple-picking poem
2. Study for history test
3. Stop hating GP because of the teacher and get down to studying it properly
4. Study Chinese for the A levels? (tentative)
I think it’s stupid and hilarious at the same time when students liken school life to the sufferings of people during the Holocaust or something. Yep, doing promos is definitely like being gassed and feeling the life being sucked out of you. Uh huh, a cramp in the social life is totally like being prosecuted solely for your ethnicity or religion. Totally. I mean, school stresses us out a lot, but I highly doubt that it matches the amount of despair you would feel if you knew that death is imminent.
Anyway, homework to do. So fare thee well.
MEH-HEH!
This quote from The Simpsons encapsulates what I’m feeling now:
“MEH-HEH!”
Thanks, Simpsons. 
Them Again
Those bastard student councilors cleared our lockers again, and the bloody stupid thing is that I actually paid for the bloody locker, just that those bastards were too slow in assigning the locker number so mine was seen as an illegal one.
Bastards.
That’s right, I paid for the locker (Julien and I), something which I bitched about the first time they cleared it. I don’t know where the money goes, but since the school councilors are so bloody anal about this sort of thing, maybe a bit of money will help them to keep the bloody hell away from me.
Another trivial thing that my school loves to harp on and waste energy on is late-comers. I didn’t get into trouble, but Amanda got called up for being late 7 times this year, which I find is quite little over the course of 7 months. They gave her a yellow form and stapled behind was - I couldn’t believe my eyes - a computerized table which logged all her late-comings, along with citations of whether her late-comings were due to a valid reason or not. That is the sort of crap my school wastes resources on. Maybe it’s like this in every school, I don’t know, but maybe the management should stop whining about how students are “wasting electricity” when they should look the rubbish that they’re wasting their money on.
Can you imagine being around 40-50 years old and still having to deal with trivial crap like chasing after teenagers for being late, for having short skirts, for tucking out their shirts? I think that’s truly a shitty life to live. They keep saying that they “don’t enjoy scolding us”, but if you willingly do something so often, over and over again, don’t tell me you are not deriving some sort of perverse pleasure from it.
Speaking of perverse pleasure, there are teachers out there who love to dig apologies out of students just to satisfy their own sick sense of authority. Just yesterday I bumped into the oh-so-loving teacher of terror and hell who taught me [subject] during PAE. I honestly think she’s sick in the mind, she needs to seek help.
My friend and I were walking down the stairs yesterday. We walked on the right, students were walking up the stairs on the left. Teacher of terror and hell was walking behind us. She said,
“Excuse me, girls.”
I didn’t know what the heck she wanted me to do because there wasn’t anywhere else to move except down the stairs - I couldn’t shift to the left because there were a class of students walking up. So I kept walking down.
At the bottom of the stairs, she tapped my shoulder and said,
“Did you know that you 2 girls were blocking the entire stairwell?”
What the fuck? Was she blind and did not see the students walking up the stairs?
And I knew that bloody look on her face - it was the face waiting for an apology. I know it well enough. During PAE, I saw that face 5 times a day because she’s always picking on a poor student for some what-the-fuck reason such as the one above and expects an apology. She wouldn’t budge until she has received one. Literally. She engages in a bloody STARING CONTEST with you and waits, no matter how long, for an apology. I am not exaggerating.
She couldn’t overtake me so now she’s wanting me to apologize for that?
That’s it, it was confirmed - she has a sick desire to abuse her authority. I am serious in saying that she needs mental help, or perhaps just a good kick in the ass.
I gave her a flippant “sorry” to make her go away and I can’t believe she actually accepts apologies which are coerced and insincere. It just makes her so pathetic.
If 30 years from now you’re screaming at teenage girls for having shorts skirts or boys for having hair which touches the collar everyday, you’ll know that you’ve made some wrong turns in life.
They keep wishing that we would stop shortening our skirts or being late for school - I wish they could see how trivial these matters are in the grand scheme of things.
Clearly I’ve unleashed a floodgate of hate for authority.
School really does suck, no matter how immature it sounds.
