The "Bus Paradox."
I came up with the term Bus Paradox to describe a weird behaviour that i have observed for many years.
You queue for a bus at the bus interchange. When the bus comes, you get onto it. In the distant away, someone sees the bus and starts running for it as the bus driver closes the bus door. (This is the first of the conflicting behaviour)
When the bus driver sees it, he opens the door to let the person catch up. The person, upon seeing this, slows back down to a walk.
Don't you think that this is a weird behaviour? i do think so. Does opening the bus door give anyone a signal meaning "It's okay, you can slow down and waste everyone's time."?
hmm.. if i was the bus driver and i saw the person walking, i'd close the door again and drive away.

"According to our records, your child/ward, FOO JIE MIN, has been absent for 2 classes in the current semester"
LIES. I was absent once and partial once, and i know FOR SURE that does not warrant a letter of absence. And further more, it's the faci's fault. he saw me in class, he talked to me, asked me questions but he still marked me as ABSENT when i left class early.
What the funk, man??
And seriously, when are the year 2 and year 3 gonna get sent home? When it was 9 cases only, i was like "wah, good. ssent home then can slack."
But now it's 57 cases! im genuinely starting to be worried for my health, man.
To non-rpians reading, yes, WE ARE THE FIRST H1N1 CLUSTER in the country. Our school alone accounts for 10% of the country's h1n1 case. When is the P gonna send us home?? Are we year 2 and 3 somehow more immune than the year 1? why the preferential treatment, dude?

Oh, oh oh oh~~
Had a good night today. After school, went to CWP with wei liang, adam and joyhan. Catched up on old times. Woam Shing was supposed to go too, but she got some IG thing going on, so it was just us boys.
Traded stories about new classes. Lots of teasing, lots of jokes and lots of good fun.
awesome night.

Weary
So, about my class. I still don't like them.
But ive come to the conclusion i should just heck care and just do my work when i know how to do it. (partly because i cant afford to partial anymore, lol)
Life's been pretty stagnant... I was walking home today after the third UT of the week and i thought to myself, "Hey, it would be a great idea to take photos of my way home and compile it into a video with Canon In D as the background music!" (yeah i know, i have weird thoughts.)
So, along my way home, i imagined taking photos as i went along. And all of a sudden, in the imagination-photo i took, there was a girl in it. Another craving for a soulmate? perhaps... but what to do =/
Yeah, ive pretty much made peace with myself recently... Things going badly is now part and parcel of my life, and i just learn to take it. Alone? sure, whatever. Hateful class? yeah, uh huh...

AWOL
the reason i have been AWOL from blogging for so long, is simply because i have nothing to blog about.
Everyone knows i usually dont like the holidays and crave going back to school to see my friends. But this time, im dreading to go back to school as well, its like getting caught between a rock and a hard place, where neither situation actually makes me happier.
Life for me has been on a gradual decline. My best mates are moving on in the world. Poly friends settling with their new class, sec sch friends finding their feet in the real world. Me? I'm still stuck in childhood. No real life experience, so to speak.
While people are out there in america, trying to analyze the market to see how they can help, im here sitting in my chair analyzing the auction house in world of warcraft to see how i can make a quick buck.
While others are out working for money, im here spending money.
And i know some of you are thinking "whats so difficult? just go out and find a job." But the truth is that, i cant handle going out. I dread this.... hideousness that is me setting foot in the world. I always try my best to please everyone but usually end up making people dislike me. Its almost as if nothing i do is right anymore.
