Wow, 56 more days and we're on the battle field. Currently, all of us are planning the strategies to deal with our enemy and what am I doing now?! SLACKING!
Gosh, this isn't right. So it's the last post before O level and I want to say byebye to all of you. Don't miss me alright. Just bear with it for just another 2 more months and I'll be back!
I didn't wear any ethnic costume today. Aww, sorry for not wearing and thanks for those who wore them today. :D
Alright, I think this is my first and my last post of the month. I wont TRY to post something on my blog as it's obvious that nobody is reading it except for me. So.. enough of crap, I will start typing the main thing now.
*Do help me check my tenses and spelling errors because I want to improve my writing skills through blogging. :D
Alright. Just now my father was scolding me that why do I have to wait for them to wake me up for school everyday when I have an alarm just beside me. He even told me how he had managed to wake up everyday when he was a child. Come on, Daddy. How can you compare your generation to ours?
During their generation, there were no alarm nor were there "chauffeurs" to bring you to school. My father lived in a kampong, so he surely didn't have the money to buy alarm clock or even have a chauffeur! My grandparents disregard studies because they thought that their children could just go to work when they were able to. There was no age limit to work during their time. So, when my father was probably 12 years old or older, he could go to collect eggs from the nearby farm or sell penang laska outside the school. With earning just about 50 bucks could feed the whole family for a week or two.
Let's compare with our generation. We have advanced technology - computer, hand phone and of course, digital alarm clock. It's DIGITAL, you see. We have "chauffeurs" (our parents) to bring us to school every single day and even if you wake up late, you will still reach school on time. Studies are the main priority in our life and parents have always been competing with other parents and they have always been emphasizing that if we don't study well enough, we will surely lose out and probably cannot get a job in the future. And if we don't get a well-paid job like my parents right now, you will not earn enough money for the family. Due to the inflation, even 2000 bucks is not enough to pay for the house, electrical bills, water bills, school fees, tuition fees and etc. So how can they compare their generation with ours?
Yes, the reason why parents always emphasising how important are studies right now and comparing their times to ours is because they do not want us or the next generation to suffer. I know, I know... I've heard this for more than a billion time. However, if they just saw us playing facebook games for about 15 minutes only, they started nagging non-stop again.
"Stop playing! Go do your homework!" Mother screamed. Father began nagging how playing facebook games will affect your studies and that you will never score well for any examinations. Come on again, it's just 15 minutes of playing time. When we are studying real hard, they will never see. But when we are playing, they will just nice come in to our rooms and catch us red-handed and started nagging again. Why not give us some compliments when they see us studying?
And seriously, they should stop nagging and stop telling what job we will be getting if we don't study now. So do the parents mean that graduates will have a well paid job for sure? I tell you, even an illiterate man can become a CEO of a successful company. And even graduates from university can't get a single job. It's all about your strength and talent for something.
Hence, in the nutshell (is it relevant here), parents should just stop comparing their generation with ours because all these reasons do not have a valid proof. I can assure you that in the next 20 years, maybe all the Singaporeans will get a degree for the good universities and more than 65% of them will manage to get a PHD. And maybe even some of them don't have a job. Get it?
Oh my god, I can't believe it! Holiday is going to be over in 2 days time! Or maybe 1 and a half day. Felt as though I have not accomplished anything during this holiday. -.- Aww, nevermind. I will chiong again when school reopens.
Went to Jia Min's house with Josephine yesterday. That place is totally awesome! I was quite worried because her house is on the 46th floor and I'm quite scared of heights.
Took about 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach her house. Super far! Erm, and Jia Min went down to take us up. The lift was scary. Because it shot up so fast till my ears were blocked.
Okay skipped a lot of parts. Reached Jia Min's doorstep. Stepped into her house and it's beautiful! All white haha. And the scenery was superb! :D But I didn't dare to go near to her window.
I saw the sea, the buildings, the little tiny cars on the road, the congested traffic somewhere on the highway. It's a pity that we didn't stay till the night to watch sunset. Haha!
Ate lunch and then Zhi Ming, Zheng Yong and Xuan Zhen came from the rooftop. And they started playing the piano and guitar. Nice~~~ I want to learn how to play the guitar. And Zheng Yong was like kept asking Zhi Ming to teach me but he didn't want? I don't know. Anyway, after William came, Josephine, Jia Min and I went to the rooftop while they went home.
I guessed I nearly fainted when I went up to the 50th floor. Because when you look straight, you can see Indonesia... Or Malaysia? I lost my sense of direction. :P And when I looked down a little bit, I was going to puke because I felt as though I was going to drop down. OHMYGOD! Meanwhile, Josephine was so relaxed and she was talking to the trees around.
Josephine wanted to walk from block G to block A (I think), but I don't want so we went back down to first floor. So paiseh because I was totally wobbling there already.
After that, we went to Bukit Merah Library. Borrowed a book (:D) and went home with Josephine. And I walked home from Ten Mile Junction! Yay, challenge myself haha.
Anyway, holiday is here and I'm not going to play because of the stupid major exam I'm taking end of the year. So yeah, only study groups, exercising and a few times of outings are allowed. If not, I'm going to study at home till wee hours. Haha, not so hardworking la! At least after midnight probably.
