It has been a long, long time. Longer than the engagement of Manech and Mathilde in "A Very Long Engagement". Longer than we all care to remember. Because the truth is we don't care about the results. Oh yes, and I just remembered that later today we are all supposed to go to our schools to collect our "O" level Higher Chinese results. For some, "O" level results.
Good luck to all those who need it. =)
Anyway, recently I haven't been thinking about many things, least of all collecting the HCL results. After all, RJC is a place which keeps your brains occupied but your tutorials empty all the time (or for me anyway). I've been busy with these three things lately:
1) Overthrowing Paul Yap as CT Rep
Having called himself St. Paul the Yap, he is currently trying to turn over a new leaf and trying to avoid being bad to a particular person. However, we all know that his plan is a terrible failure. St. Paul the Yap has also got himself involved in some scandals lately, but I'll leave the lurid details out in case he kills me next Monday. You just have to know that there's certainly something up his sleeve that he won't admit. Therefore, why have a saint as a CT Rep when he doesn't meet the expectations of a saint?
See, a saint is not supposed to buaya or be bad to people! But he is!! So as I am one to stand up for justice, I have already planned a rebellion against him. St. Paul had better not hope to have another class elections because I am going to overthrow him! Now I might not be running for it myself, but we are gathering manpower to find a suitable candidate to pull him down. After all, with him organising class activities for ulterior motives, we should really replace him! Hurhurhur!
I bet you think I'm evil like a devil, contrary to St. Paul the Yap who's a saint. Then again, you'd probably think the worst of me so I cannot possibly fall short of your expectations right? I can only exceed your expectations and get better. That is why I think I'd be more effective than St. Paul. I sleep in most classes, talk cock in the rest of them, don't do my tutorials, am very evil to certain people and am VERY proficient in only ONE language - the swear language. Now you know why I worry about my HCL (3rd language after Swear and English) "O" level results?
2) No lift policy
In light of the fact that I can move faster than most lifts, I have this tendency to avoid lifts and that is taking me a lot of extra time. Some call the policy NLP but I think it sounds crude to a certain extent so we'll just leave it at the full thing called "no lift policy". I'm sure you all would know that I haven't taken the lift ever since I set foot in RJC - and if you don't, now you do. It's part of the plan of keeping fit and the other part is just to know RJC stairs inside out. That way if you play catching or hide-and-seek in RJC with me, you'd probably get pwned.
Which is what I did to my class yesterday, though they accused me of cheating. Ya right they are just jealous that I know places in RJC that they didn't know of. I could hide behind doors, sneak into tutorial rooms and camp outside the library but they being so weak couldn't even find me. Next time put in more effort and take less lifts.. and maybe that will help your cause A LOT. This applies to everyone who intends to play hide-and-seek in RJC, or better yet catching. The stairs are bloody useful so get to know them today!
3) Super cool Bayley-Waddle
Last but not least, I've been taking some time to view the interhouse competition in RJC. The results are as follows, bloody pathetic if you ask me:
1. Buckle-Buckley (82 points)
2. Moor-Tarbet (73 points)
3. Morrison-Richardson (72 points)
4. Hadley-Hullett (60 points)
5. Bayley-Waddle (58 points)
Do you think it's super cool to be bottom and holding everyone up? Now this is what takes up the most time, because I spend the most time wondering what can I do to improve Bayley-Waddle. After all, being a former vice-captain in RI, I always like to stick my nose into house affairs, though I don't do it directly and shamelessly. I just go home, stare at the blank wall and wonder what went wrong. Especially since our exco look quite capable except for this little guy called ******* but never mind.
It just makes me more resolved to revive the house that's downed. I believe YH might be interested in this too. Since we did it last year in RI, I see no reason why we cannot do it again! Therefore those from the other houses are encouraged to buck up NOW before we come in and kick your arse. All right I'm just talking rubbish you don't have to take that seriously. Think I'll go waste some more time later by staring at the blank wall.
As you can see, I've been occupying myself with these three super time-wasters. I think I'm leading a fulfilling life but then again, I think that isn't the point. The point is that between all these I suddenly recall that I've to get back my HCL (Higher Chinese Language, not that shit acid in Chem labs) results and everything must take a backseat for now. You have to be mentally prepared.
Thus, to mentally brace yourself for HCL results, always be damn pessimistic. Expect to score an F9 so when you get a D7 you'll be like "WHOA I AM DAMN GOOD! I EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS BY 2 GRADES!" And then you'll just make yourself much happier, don't you think. Rather than expect an A1 and get A2, then you'll be like, "shit how could I miss that A1." It's all a matter of perspective and meeting expectations, and the lower you set your expectations, the lower your probability of being disappointed. So stop mocking at pessimists, they're probably happier than you are. Kind of an Fe-y, but who the heck cares. =)
If lowering expectations does not help you in preparing to receive your results, I'm afraid nothing can. TCS cannot help you all the time by providing alternative suggestions, you'd have to think them up yourself for today because I don't have much time to make idle chat here. I'm just here to express my wonderment at how fast time flies.
It seemed like only yesterday when TPH （大家尊敬的陈培福老师）was still teaching me Higher Chinese. Man, he was one of the best Higher Chinese teachers teaching the Sec 4 level. Okay there were only three but he was like, the best. I still remember some of his famous quotes:
“你除了买零食之外，会做什么？” (at CZ for his famous antics of selling snacks)
“你怎么那样放肆！” (to *** who was wanking in class. asking for it man)
“你们所有没有做功课的，都给我站起来！” (standard phrase of his. then he'll confiscate all your EZ-link cards so you cannot go home without finishing his homework. bloody cunning bastard)
“你们都不是女生，为什么站不直？！” (puay hock's quite a pervert, if you know him well)
“来，我们去请教班上的聪明人，张锐。” (when zhang rui self-declared himself damn smart and gained the disrespect of the rest of us in Chinese class, that china fagut)
“聪明人是不会撞柱子的。” (zhang rui getting jacked and suanned by tph. because of his famous habit of banging into posts while playing games/walking on the road while trying to see chiobu)
There are, of course, still a lot more that I would list but due to time constraints, I'll leave it at this. You can view the rest at the PCB blog archives.. some really old stuff that I written/typed so long ago. Even longer than waiting for "O" level results.
Anyway.. who can ever forget TPH's most famous line, something (other than pinching their necks) which he used against the people who were basically lazy to do his homework or study for Chinese tests. I was one of them. And in case you were wondering, yes it is me who's standing beside him.
Man, I really miss Chinese lessons!!!!!!! ARGH!! When we had those days where he would just pelt us incessantly with 公函s and 私函s, it was so damn fun (compared to getting silly Chemistry rubbish, like who the heck cares about whether 4s comes before 3d or whatever). Then after the "O" levels came the record attendance days, another part of my RI life which I would never forget. Those bastards love me so much they decided to make attendance taking so much easier. But I believe it's the after-effects of the "O" levels on 31st October, the Monday of the same week. (Tuesday was a damn holiday.)
And of course, the Chinese compositions and letters I used to write. Even long after school had closed, I was still writing them to my beloved teacher. If only I'll get an A1 back today.
From here we can conclude that so much has passed in so little time, and thus time must really fly like some bird. Not just any ordinary bird, perhaps like a sailbird since that's the fastest bird in air (Pri 4 Science textbook, wrong not my fault). But no matter what, it is important you never forget your roots. And therefore to end off, I'd just like to say that I love being Chinese very much and good luck to everyone getting back results for "O" levels!
