Recovering from shock

Before you start thinking that I've killed myself after the World Cup match or before you start calling me Puay Hock (some already did), I'm going to clarify that you need time to recover from shock.

As if France losing the WC wasn't bad enough, I failed Chemistry groggily on the same day when I went to school. I thought I saw it wrongly because of WC the night before - but hell no, as I discovered on Tuesday. So for those two days, I lived like a zombie trying not to accept either truth.

Actually the failing Chemistry truth wasn't that hard to accept. But the irony (Fe-y) was that I spent like, err.. THE MOST TIME MUGGING CHEM? And this is what I get. A wondrous U for Ultimate. While I hardly mugged Econs and oops, I suddenly am on course to get at least a C or a B.

It proves something - mugging damages your brain.

For all those who failed CTs and got such uber ultimately unrivalled results like mine, let us take heart in this defeat and learn from it. In fact, in circumstances of shock, I kept hearing a certain song in a certain way. Let me post the lyrics up here.

I believe the original was sung by Ronan Keating. The song's called When You Say Nothing At All.

This is MY new version - suited to RJC's context. Enjoy please.


WHEN YOU MUG NOTHING AT ALL
(from YJ to all CT failures, chin up. it's not the end of the world.. there's still promos to fail. and if by then you still haven't got enough for it, there's A levels. I personally wouldn't like to try that though haha)

It's amazing how you think that I'm so damn smart
With long boring lectures, it's the tutors that suck
Try as I may I can never explain
What it means by electrophilic addition.

CHORUS
The frown on your face lets me know that I've failed Chem
There's a truth in your eyes saying that I'll never pass Chem
The touch of your hand says you'll never, ever pass at all
You mug it best... when you mug nothing at all.

All day long I can hear your voice blaring out loud
But as you lecture me, I don't know what's it about
Try as I will I can never define
My notes are blank, and so is my mind..

CHORUS

You mug it best... when you mug nothing at all.


Words of wisdom.
