as promos approach, school days seem to take on this exhausting relaxation.
an oxymoron indeed, but that is the effect.
they pile on the work, shove sheets at you and are constantly badgering you to hand this up, hand that up and buzzing on and on in your ear that promos are coming in four weeks. but yet at the same time, they don't seem to do anything.
maybe this is attributed by the fact that there was chem spa today.
so since half the school was empty, more than half the math lect was empty, it didn't seem as though there was any school.

hmm, there is so much to look forward to in the future.
yet there is so much fear and trepidation.
the glaring realities of failed test papers (i got 6/37 for my econs essay! grawr!) and the daunting enormity of alevels; although many years down the road, in retrospect, alevels were probably just an insignificant speck of a milestone in our lives.
it half makes me want to dive back into the past and hibernate there, re-emerging as a Rip Van Wrinkle (or is it Winkle?) with more control and awareness.

but back to the future.
the future's just like those colourful square brainteaser boxes.
so pretty and simple at a glance, but so damn hard to manoeuvre.
and in the end it never turns out the way we want it to be.
but like i said, there's so much to look forward to.
if we just forget about those power-suits and totebags and fat paychecks alongside happy tottering kids and lovely husbands, there's certainly alot more to live for and experience.
so short-term it is.
like i certainly hope it's acjc holding the champion trophy for squash next year.
and i certainly wish and hope and YEARN to get promoted without having to take supplementary papers.
and a good old warm friendships and camaraderie.
but then again, even with short-term in mind, it may or may not exist.

i am feeling extremely silly of late.
disjointed thoughts coupled with awful grades does not produce a very soothing effect.

on a much lighter note, a certain someone has been rather amusing of late with her constant mispronunciations.
personally, i reckon she's really nice.
and abit more entertaining rather than irksome.
i think students don't necessarily not like her.
just like we learnt in e8.
humour is evoked in subverted expectations of archetypes.
so her mispronouncing words couple with her very unique sense of dressing evokes much humour, thus laughter in us, because of the subverted expectations.
i do feel rather bad sometimes because i really do think she's a nice woman.
really.
