number two hundred and sixty-nine
happy lunar new year to ALL. bet many of you folks out there got lots of cashies from your ang pows. go on, go spend them on clothes and bags and flip-flops and what-not. you're RICH.
ME? i got to go to SYDNEY. while you people were slugging away in singapore doing your visiting or whatever you do during cny, i was probably riding the waves in palm beach. =D
this sydney trip was a REALLY awesome-ly fun one. it's sort of surreal out there. people are just chilling out (summer time there), enjoying their lives. unlike singapore, where every day is a rat race where you work your ass off. or study your ass off for the matter of fact. so it's a real good breather to just go somewhere faraway and relax.
sydney has B-E-A-U-tiful beaches. seriously. they're not crummy beds of sand with bubbles of god-knows-what on the surface, and driftwood floating all over. the beaches there are WHOA. the distance from where the wave meets the water to the other side of the shore is already so friggin long. and the water is crystal clear, and cool. very cool.
but what really struck me was how the students there pass their days. it's not as hectic as singapore, but the students are still able to provide substantial results. and what's more, they study RELEVANT stuff, relevant to what career they wann pursue in the future. unlike singapore where you mug away at differentiation and trigometry. but we don't really have to use them next time. unless you aspire to be a math teacher.
if only i could take a plane there in the morning for school, and be back here after school. wouldn't it be nice?
and thanks to the trip, i'm now addicted to punk rock music. i hear it almost everyday EVERYWHERE i go. probably because it's summer, and summer is the season of punk and rock. don't ask me why.
back to reality. you know, one could feel the SIAN-NESS and the i'm-back-to-this-shit feeling when the plane landed in changi airport. seriously.
so vj had the cross country today. pretty much screwed up. so many competitive people. pfft, slow then say right? yeah. i practically walked the remaining 2km? i think. the full route was 4.8km by the way.
okay, maybe not 2km. 2km is ridiculous.
so i guess that's all for now. since i have so much free time and i'm not going to use it to study for bio or chem or econs or trigo, i'll go change me blogskin BECAUSE SOMEBODEH WHO PROMISED ME A SEPHIROTH SKIN HAS NOT MADE ONE FOR ME.
lol. ciao.
"the grass is greener on the other side. but the troll might just bite my ass off."
so come on, tell me.
