The Doctor's Newest Horseshit.

This entry was created on Monday, March 30, 2009, at 11:26 PM.

I almost forgot. With effect from today the school gates are to be closed at 7.20am and anyone who arrives after that will be considered late. What a fine example of horseshit. This is the letter we got last Friday.

Daily Closure of School gates at 7.20 am

Pleased (No, we are not pleased to be informed at all) be informed that with effect from Monday 30 March 2009, the school gates will be closed at 7.20 am. Our morning assembly commences promptly at 7.25 am sharp everyday and students are expected to be at the assembly ground or classroom block for reading before this (If we are indeed expected to arrive before "7.25 am", then that means I could strut in at 7.24 am and at the 59th second and no one could say a damn thing, right?). To facilitate a conducive environment for silent reading or reflection (also known as sleeping while pretending to do something else constructive), students are strongly encouraged, to arrive early so that they do not cause a distraction to others who are already settled down and reading.

Students who arrive after 7.20 am will be considered late and actions will be taken against students who are repeatedly late for school. (Okay. First you say that we are "strongly encouraged to arrive early", but you're going to punish us if we do not fulfill your expectations? Right...)

We hope you will encourage (I don't see how "encourage" fits in when you are going to use oppression and force anyway) your child/ward to come to school early.

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this. (I'm not about to welcome your factitious thanks at all)

Excuse me, if you may. Well, even if you are not intending to excuse me at all, I'm going to say it anyway. Firstly, I must mention that even 5 minutes of sleep is very, very precious to me. Silent reading and reflection is bullshit. Secondly, we are not "a distraction to others". If anyone's a distraction, it's the nutty principal. His redundant 20-minute speeches after every morning assembly is a waste of time and is better spent doing other miscellaneous things like taking a piss and sleeping. Heck, I'm not even sure if his speeches are good enough to be labelled "redundant" or demoted to "bullshit", because from the first day of school I hadn't heard a word of what the man on the platform from 15 odd feet away is saying. I can't even study. I would be asked to put my things away and stand up. Why? Because I don't bother to pretend to listen to bullcrap. Gee.

I wonder if any other school's has faced greater ludicrousness than this latest abominable change by a very unsound person indeed?

The span of 3 days.

On Saturday was Lydia's birthday celebration at a chalet. Jingjing and Danette and I shared a present for her (To Kill A Mockingbird Yorknotes and 1 bumblebee finger puppet) and made her a card hee. Danette introduced a card game I had never came across before and mighty fun it was! Everyone was pointing fingers at each other with goggly eyes trying to remember the nicknames and that was just hilarious! Then there was some blow wind blow game and whacko. For night weather it was bloody sweltering. It's the kind of weather that conspicuously reminds you of eminent global warming and the kind that makes you wished you didn't live in Singapore.

On Sunday I had lunch. Then I had 8 packets of Hello Panda at one go. Then I had dinner of rice and pork and vegetables. Then I saw more pork in the kitchen and took some of it with an extra plate of rice. I wasn't all that hungry actually, but... oh well.

The 3 hours of the Literature course was a drag. I could've cried tears of sheer boredom. When Jingjing said she'd rather have CCA than that, I concured readily.

More nigahiga!

I haven't had any adult to be really pissed off with for a long while until today so I suppose I should rant. But before that I must mention that there's a hell lot of ants on the wall on my left and I want to squish and squash them all to nothingness, but I want to eat more chocolate later so I don't want to dirty my hands with them. My sister just came back from her trip to Italy and she brought home loads of chocolate. My mother just came home from work and had with her 2 triangle boxes Toberone chocolate.

Awesome!

Anyway, back to the original topic. Now, let's give the witch a little sobriquet to go by. How about Mrs Gigolow?

Today I went for one of the Prize Winners' rehearsal, and at the end of it when we were dismissed I told her that I had tuition and hence will not be ale to attend the rehearsal this Thursday. That fairly innocent one-liner was all it took Mrs Gigolow to berate me with paragraphs of lectures. "NONONO SCHOOL REHEARSAL IS THE FIRST PRIORITY! TUITION IS NOT AN EXCUSE TO SKIP THE REHEARSAL, YOU KNOW? WE ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT THE REHEARSALS BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS SO YOU SHOULD ALREADY MAKE ARRANGEMENTS! YOU'LL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE OR CANCEL YOUR TUITION! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO COME TELL YOUR PARENTS TO WRITE A LETTER SAYING THAT YOU DON'T WANT THE PRIZE!" et cetera. She basically repeated twice of everything and it did nothing else but antagonised me further. What the hell is your problem? Will it kill to miss one half-hour session out of five? Will the principal chop off one of your fingers or something if I don't come on Thursday?

You may be itching to inquire, do I hate her now? No, but I now possess a profound distaste for Mrs Gigolow. Do I wish to stick a penknife into her? I wouldn't mind actually, but her blood might be cat shit or something so I think I'd rather not.

Apparently, she's a tai tai, here meaning 'a skinny hag with a belly and an anal, scrunched-up face, who's married to a rich man'. She kind of looks like one too; she has got a face which you want to rob and punch and while you're at it, stab her in the gut. I don't mean to kill her, just give her a lot of pain to writhe and moan about, you know?

2 more reads.

I read Slumdog Millionaire, originally published as Q&A, yesterday. It was pretty good. I'd like to watch the movie someday. I started on The Reader today and just finished chapter 7 of part one. So far the story has been very dry, like To Kill A Mockingbird. However I try to believe it'll end up quite well. I hope. It cost me about $14.

Ottavo.

The reason for my extended inactivity is attributed to a faulty computer. It was rather exasperating to have it conk out a mere month after it's repair, but there was little I could do to salvage the situation. Hence, I have been surviving on the bare basics of internet entertainment for the past couple of days. I tried to abstain from logging into accounts for fear of viruses etc. lurking within neglected depths of a borrowed computer, but as you may witness now that resolution has faltered.

Last week or so it greatly heartened me to know I had been able to score reasonably well on tests I studied for only in the mornings of the actual dates scheduled. Perhaps it only counts for E.Maths, I'm not too sure if I'll do as well for a Social Studies essay test I started studying for only during recess.

I must admit the results of the Cheering Competition was slightly disappointing for myself. I genuinely believe they do not justify the time and efforts poured in, but then again, when are they ever an accurate measurement of achievements? That, I suppose, is one evidence that men are not born equal. Oh well, 2nd place will have to suffice, then.

Cross Country was as usual, a drag and unimpressionable. All I got out of it were aches and pulled muscles for no less than two days. The latter was severe enough to make me grimace and stop in my tracks halfway up the staircase.

I enjoyed the Parent-teacher Meeting on Saturday! I got to skip an hour and half of CCA, and of course receive my result slip for Term 1 and listen to whatever my teachers have to say. What golly fun!

My CA1 marks were fairly decent. 5 distinctions, okay. Only 0.8 marks away from the E.Maths max mark, cool. Having the same CA1 ave mark as the max mark for Combined Humanities? That's a pleasant first, and an unexpected one at that. Spiffy.

It's the marvellous one-week March holiday, however I'll still have to go to school from Monday to Saturday. I find it ridiculous to have three 5-hour CCA sessions in a week, give or take the upcoming SYF. We play the two same songs all the time, sit there, and get fat. It's quite selfish of the teachers to expect everyone to self-sacrifice. It's time holidays started being holidays.
