ACC > BBB
“Haha, yah so funny, my toes are laughing.”
— Some funny-haired dude in Mos Burger
My toes are laughing? What kind of saying is that? But as random and stupid as it sounded, we found it so funny that we think it ought to become a trend. Instead of typing “LOL” or “ROFL”, type “MTAL” please.

In an attempt to make my JC life a more fulfilling one, I’m probably biting off more than I can chew. Currently I’m awaiting the results of the model UN interview and contemplating about taking up on H3 Lit, both of which are probably crazily stressful and energy-consuming. But then again there’s still the possibility of not getting into the model UN thing / But then again H3 Lit probably won’t be an additional push to my A level cert.
I’m happy with my promos results, but…
Me: Mummy, I got 60 plus rank points for promos!
Mum: Ohmigod that’s really good! What are your grades?
Me: 3 Bs and 3 Ds.
Mum: Bs? Why not As?
Me: …
Mum: An A actually surpasses a number of Bs you know. ACC is better than BBB.
Me: Oh, really. *starts tuning out*
Mum: Yep. Your sister got an A for GP you know.
Me: Yep, I know. *still tuning out*
Mum: And I thought you wanted an A for Econs?
Me: Yep, I did. *dum dee dum dum*
I was kind of surprised actually, she isn’t usually the type of mum who is unsatisfied with every single grade no matter how good it is, she’s usually happy for me. And she seemed very skeptical about H3 Lit, I’m assuming it’s because I won’t be able to handle it due to my ‘bad grades’. But I’m glad that I’m not the only one, seems like all my friends’ mums have identical reactions. Oh well, mums…
Free from Shackles!
Well it’s official – my teeth are finally free from its cruel metal shackles!
Instead, I’ll be a retainer face pretty soon, so I’m enjoying my free teeth for the time being. It felt so incredibly weird when they were taken off – I felt like a 100 year old grandma with no teeth. The brackets on your teeth pushes your lips out so your lips don’t really feel your gums for 2 whole years, but now that the brackets are gone, my lips and gums are in direct contact all the time so all I’m feeling are my gums actually. I’ve missed you, dear gums!
By the way, why is the word ‘gums’ being underlined in red while I’m typing this? I’m pretty sure the word ‘gums’ exists right?
I’m very tired of listening to people complain about their good, no scratch that, fantastic marks that they had gotten for their exams.
“Wah lau, 80 is so low leh,” or “Eh it’s not high okay, I got so many careless mistakes!” or “Aiyah, this idiot in my class got 91 okay! I so wanted to beat him!” and the works. They’re just boasting about their good results in the disguise of a complaint, as Joyin said.
The typical response from people listening to this complaint would be, “Hello, you got 80 okay, that’s damn good, I only got 60!” which is exactly what they want to hear because it feeds their ego like a monkey being fed 30 bananas. I suggest this response:
Asshole: Ugh, I could’ve gotten 90 instead of 80 if I didn’t have so many careless mistakes!
Suggested response: Yeah I know what you mean, 80 marks upon 100?! That’s like, unheard of, man. I mean, that’s like so many questions done wrong lah. My class’s average is 87, so you better buck up. I think you might retain.
I’d like to see their faces if I said that.
