HOLY SHIT I AM GROWING OLD BEFORE MY TIME

You Are 24 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

I took this 6 months ago and I was still 14 i believe. Shit!

Abby's blog reminded me to re-take the quiz, btw.

the blind man is singing in Irish
He get his money in a tin dish
He just a corner serenader
once upon a time he could've made her, could've made her


Lyrics from Dire Straits (still in my opinion the best rock band EVER, up there with Queen and Nirvana)

That could be me. Siggggghhhhhh....

In one fell swoop I will shatter the chains of tradition, and prove to the world that I have no life.

I will blog because I'm happy.

I am inexplicably happy - it's like there are a million things that happened today, none of which would justify having a good day (in fact it was rather terrible, adding to the inexplicability) on its own, and ...

I guess in total it just makes you happy, which, as I have established in previous, angst-filled diatribes, is rare. The world is good, creation is good, and wonderful and colourful and even processed air feels alive, like there's a little song and a little story in every note of a cricket's call

or the sound of the TV outside, that's someone's story too. And all the little stories they add up and you can feel them humming on the air, and with a contented sigh you let back your strained eyes and know for sure that your story... MY story... is up there, in the air, and somewhere is making someone else happy as well.

"Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education."
- Bertrand Russell

Actually, mostly because I'm just bitter about my GP marks and need to rant about something.



I can't muster enough vitriol to bitch about the school anymore. Actually, i think school really is kind of great. I really enjoy it. Education, on the other hand, just sucks. I wish we could come to school and not learn anything... I don't believe in learning anyway.

Ryan D suggested to me earlier today that we should just be given straight As for our 'A' levels in the true spirit of the raffles programme, because they've already assumed for the 'O' levels that we're the top 3 percent of Singapore, academically and thus going a step further isn't such a logical leap. Sounds like a good scheme to me.

So CTs were bad.

Somehow I wish I cared more about them. My studies are in shambles, but I don't think i'm quite agitated enough to do anything about them. Siggghhhh... It seems like everyone else has been shocked into a state of frantic mugging.

The last few days have ground my willpower down completely. I think i'm caught in a self-destructive cycle... when I can't find energy to do anything else, I practice. It cleans the soul, I think. When I practice, I have even less energy to do anything else. Net result : homework suffers.
Is it better to have a clean soul and be a failure at life?
