I'm melting....
IT HAS BEEN SWELTERING HOT FOR THE PAST WEEKS. AND, they are building a huge estate smack in front of ours, thereafter SEALING US IN LIKE PRISONERS. No ventilation people. I think we'll rack up exborbitant electricity bills from aircon.
School has started for the week, and i'm happy to say that there are supposedly only 2/4 common tests to be taken, and there is 1 module that we don't need to sit for and examination after the semester. Rejoice!!
ATRM was interesting, although I got a bit lost. LAM was just... confusing...
Bcomm was... intriuging, and CEM was just boring. We need to clock another 40 hours, this time for events! Damn. French was very interesting today, its been a long long time since I was ever interested in another language. I think I was over the whole 'add more skills to your resume' thing during JC. I really regret wasting 2 years of my life there, not only did it NOT help me in anyway, it resulted in me experiencing everything all wrong.
Let me explain myself. Looking at my poly friends and classmates now, I see them get very excited over many things. Like attending camps, getting to know seniors and freshies, learning a new language, volunteering for as many events as possible to pad their resumes. But the thing is, I've pretty much been through everything before, and I also know that in the end, its not worth it. I hear them saying things that I chanted during my JC times, and I try to keep my cynism to myself because I can't bear to tell them that what is in their plans with never happen.
Seniors? They help you to help themselves, they don't give a shit after they graduate. There is a vast world of a difference between juniors and friends after all. Juniors, they make use of you, pretend to me chummy to gain the admiration of friends. But there is never anything that they are willing to do for you in return. Camps. Hate to say this, but JJ organises camps like they're operating a camp school. Things at NP aren't that bad yet, but its obvious that its like heading where JJ is right now.
Do you know where the irony is? They organised tonnes of camps and encourage leaders leaders and more LEADERS to be 'nurtured'. My darlings, every single person from JJ is a 'leader'. Leaders are supposed to lead aren't they? Now let's take a look at this situation, WHO ARE WE LEADING? Oh yes, we forgot the importance of teamwork! How silly. No team members to lead!
Leaders are easy to culcate. Seriously. There is so much less challenges that leaders face compared to what team players have to deal with. The problem is that nobody thought of training us to be good team players. Do they think that we will be promoted right to the top the moment we graduate? Aren't 'player' skills and team EQ so much more important to help establish our footing during the initial period? Oh wait, JC's think JC students are the top right? Of COURSE they'll be the top. Team players? Aren't they supposed to be the stupid people? From ITE or Poly or whatever?
I am a very blunt person, but I am truthful. This is the mindset of most if not all of JC students out there. My friends were (are) like that, and sad to say, so was I.
Ironic isn't it? I'm a stupid person now!
I used to feel the need to explain myself to every person I told I was a JC drop out. But why? So that they won't think that I'm stupid? WHY? My friends are one of the cleverest people I know. From Poly TRM. (YES! POLY! Shocking isn't it?) And I am glad to say that I am not that far behind either. Its all a matter of security and confidence I like to think.
Confidence in yourself. Enough to no longer feel the need to defend your decisions.

Unwelcome visitors
That man has finally gone, thank GOD. Hated the 2 whole weeks when he decided to camp at our doorstep. Freakin ridiculous that I had to sneak my way out of the house and dash back into the house everytime I go out. -.- Extremely assholic irritant that man.
Watched a super hilarious comedy with gfs like rich tai-tais with nothing better to do on a Wednesday, had high tea. (woooo~) But my very pleasant day was marred by a call from home saying that HE can smashed our flower pots outside the house. FUCK!! My finger was hovering over the dial button with 999 already keyed in. Damn him.
Life after cruise seems boring to the extreme. Have been wasting my time playing Latale (a not so cute and more complicated game compared to Maple). And now... back to Latale. -.-
I need a life.
