Today was the day Yishun Town Secondary School celebrated teacher's day with the usual concert put up by students. I forgot to take any photos, because, simply put, the standard of the Graduating Class' Performance section has increased dramatically...
When it was the year for my class to perform, people would be impressed with just a song and a dance like my class. (My class was chosen as the grand finale) But this year, wow, not only are the song choices better, dance better and girls better-looking (=P), but its just that overall the mood of the whole thing has increased dramatically, like break dancing, hip hop, etc etc... it was splendid, better than anything i had glimpsed in my 5 years of life in that demented place. Or maybe, things just look better sitting on CHAIRS at the back of the hall on those prestigious Alumni Chairs as compared to sitting cross-legged on the floor, which is a major pain in the a**.
Anyway, caught up with some of my teachers and friends after that... Also saw the horror-of horror, Mr Ong KW... He who made my DNT class have no June Holidays at all.. Or Sep Hols too, i think... Or saturdays as well... Half-day holidays dont exist for him as well, as he'll insist we go back to do our folios...
As much as i hated him back then, as i shook his hand today and told him what course i am pursuing in RP, i can't help but remember the conversation i had with my good pal, kennie, a while back... In that conversation, we realised that after graduation, everything that we hated suddenly feels so important to us...
In the past, I hated going to school because it was too binding, do this, do that kinda thing... People telling us what to do everywhere. Now, however, i have freedom in poly, i can choose if i want to go to school or not... If i dont go to school, no one will care, because it's my future that i am messing up.
Also, life without school rules feels a little directionless... in the past, in sec school, there was time tables for us to follow, now there is nothing. We do what we want, when we want, where we want... Sure, it seems fun for awhile, but after awhile, i started feeling like lost sheep...
So maybe, rules are better for us after all...
Either way, i enjoyed today... =)

I... Am... Legend...
I just finished watching I Am Legend, starring Will Smith. For the first time in many many years, I had tears in my eyes...
Many of us have gone through a phase of saying "We're lonely, nobody cares or loves us." I, too, have gone through such a phase, because it just seems "cool" to be "emo or gothy", seems "cool" to think that we are alone "wandering the earth till the end of time".
It took me this movie, this splendid movie which i rate 9.5/10, -0.5 because i felt it was too short, to realise that what i did in that phase was stupid. Yes, i said i was lonely, yes, i said i was unloved. But i knew that any moment, i could reach out for the phone to message someone, chat on msn with my friends, with people who care for me.
In the movie, New York city is being quarantined and everyone has to leave, except the character Will is playing. He, pushed his family away from the city for their safety so that he could fight the "zombie virus" alone...
The only companion he had was a dog... and some mannequins, can u believe that? mannequins...
And the dog, dies halfway through the movie... That, dear readers, is true loneliness... I'm not saying that we're never lonely, of course, fact is, im lonely right now, but i know that if i wanted to, i could call some of my friends to go out with me... Will's character on the other hand doesnt even have that option.
What indeed is loneliness?

boo hooo...
Interesting day today... My sister cried today... Why? Because i refused to buy lunch for her... -.-
then she started screaming abt how "Don't say that your family don't love you when you are the one who don't love your family."
For once, i backed out of this argument and just kept quiet, because i know that she's right. I don't give a rat's fuck abt my family. As far as im concerned, as long as they give me pocket money for as long as i need it and provide me with somewhere to sleep, then im fine.
its really quite funny how my sister established her position. you see, yesterday night, she asked me to go buy dinner, but i said "later" because i wasnt hungry yet. Since she was hungry, she went to buy lor, so she bought my share too. Nice right? ya, i agree, even though i didnt ask her to.
So today, she used that as a "weapon", u know, lol.. so li hai... she said "I bought dinner for u last night u also cant buy lunch for me today." lol...
Its not my fault that that fat whore gets hungry so fast. i told her "if u want me to buy for u, then wait until im hungry, then ill buy for both of us." but she insisted i go just to buy for her, which got a firm "No" from me.
God, i can be such an asshole sometimes, right? yep.. but that's what makes me, me.... take it or leave it.

Confusing stars for satellites.
One word for today. Uneventful.
Basically, nothing interesting happened at all.
I read up on more background information of FateStayNight, because me and one of my friends are gonna start writing a FSN story soon. It'll probably be interesting then, but quite boring to research on. I think i did more research today than i did in the whole semester 1.
Asides from that, really, nothing... zzzzz...

Explaining innocence?
I watched a movie today, Harold And Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay. There was one scene in which the 2 titular characters were arrested for something which they did not commit, which led me to think abt my own scenario...
Recently, i was accused of betrayal from a friend whom expected an explanation about what i did. Normally, i would give an explanation, no problem at all. But in this case, i was totally innocent which was why i had a lack of response, because seriously, im innocent, what do i have to explain?
It's just like in the TV shows, the innocent guys will explain to the cops that they were innocent, but it will usualy end up pointless because no one will believe them anyway, so i thought to myself "I know i'm innocent. I didn't do anything, i don't owe anyone any explanation."
Ok, back to pointless day to day kinda things. The movie was pretty good, made me laugh abit here and there, something i need, cuz i just cant seem to recover from my shitty illness.
Also finished Tsubasa chronicles Season 1 this morning (finally -.-), i realised after downloading TCS1 for abt 5 times in 2 years, that i have never finished watching it mainly because in the middle of it, somewhere near episode 10, theres this really really boring patch. I always stop there... However, since its the hols now and i have nothing else better to do, i braved through the boring patch and finished it, which was good, cuz the ending parts were pretty good... dont think ill download the other seasons though... zzz....
I think ill get started on an anime kennie gave me. School Rumble... Would start on Clannad first but my friend said its kinda sad and emo, which im not in the mood for these days, so school rumble it is.... =)
