if Love could slow down time, we’d be trapped in eternity

So this morning started with a blast - GP CT. Compo followed by Compre.

Compo was a total shock. None of the 12 questions that came out were related to homosexuality, which was what I studied. I can still tell you Lawrence King, a 15 year old boy, was shot twice and killed on 12 February this year because he asked his friend to be his Valentine. That friend was the one who shot him. He was from E.O. Green School in Oxnard, California.

Anyway I just regurgitated some environmental facts and did question 3. After speaking to a few people who wrote the question, I realized we had very different interpretations of the question. I’m quite sure I’m screwed. And I’m serious. I know when I’ll do well and when I won’t. This was just crap. I didn’t answer the question. I talked about algae blooms for goodness sakes, and how we can like introduce giant catfish into China lakes to eat up the algae… Something along that line.

Compre passage was understandable. I remember vaguely encountering it in Time a few months back. Not sure if I cut it out and pasted into my 2 giant books of Time, Newsweek and newspaper articles. But I’ve never been good in Compre. AQ killed everyone.

Match support was exciting, but now my throat hurts. Just hope I have enough voice for tomorrow. I can still talk, but it’s very mian2 qiang3 if you know what I mean. We won Badminton guys and girls, but lost tennis guys and girls. It was a little disappointing, considering we expected to win tennis. Oh well, like I said, you win some you lose some. Badminton was very exciting though. But I think what I took away from the match was more than just the pride of our players clinching the trophy. I really admire the JJC councilors, as in really really. There are only 25 of them, but not all of them were at the match. However the JJC supporters were really high and hyper, from the moment they entered Toa Payoh Sports Hall (all screaming and shouting and cheering), to even after prize giving. They just kept cheering and cheering and dancing along to the background music.

Even the councilor were really nice people. Really high and hyper too. I guess it’s infectious.

I started to wonder, why can’t we be like that too?

That’s something to wonder about. Maybe it’s the fear we all have inside. The fear of embarrassment, of stepping out of your comfort zone and taking that first step to getting high to get others high. And being the rather closed minded people we are, I think that’s why we’re as united or synchronized as the JJC people. Their school spirit is amazing. And there are only 25 of them, proving that quantity does not equal quality.

Kudos to them! Respect, respect.

Oh no, getting emo again! Went on a downloading spree yesterday and almost emo-ed. I think I got more addicted to music last night, which was bad cos we were all supposed to be studying GP. I really don’t feel like going for the last two days of school. It’s not totally pointless, but I’m missing lessons again tomorrow cos of basketball MS. Eh? I’m only missing 1 1/2 of GP ^^” darn it…

Crying for 3 days in a row was something quite new to me. I think it was stress and hormones put altogether? But I’m thankful for having such supportive friends at school. I don’t think I’d have been able to survive the days. Yi Tyng, Zhi Xian, Chloe, Joelynn, classmates, and other councilors who showed care - thank you!

And of course I’m extremely grateful for that patient understanding someone who tolerates the maximum and minimum points of my sine-graph-like behaviors. I’m really, really thankful =)

I’ve got an overdue math assignment AND physics tutorial which I have absolutely no idea how to do. Yay.

My room is in a mess =]
