Eternity
Robbie Williams

Close your eyes so your don't hear them

They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try

I'll sing this summer serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
It's true
Someone said the truth will out
I believe without a doubt, in you

You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity...For eternity

Yesterday when you were walking
We talked about your mum and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
We sat and watched the sun go down
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come
And gone to soon

okaaay okaaay leaving crescent in 2 wks. i guess i am pretty happy, not that i hate the school or anything, but for a whole new experience..anyway, dont know why many crescentians hate crescent. i'm not sure who/what exactly they hate...the principal? the teachers? the environment? the other pupils? well, i dont think it would be any different in another school ya know...i know a lot of crescentians think the school is over-posering, inflating our achievements and such. all schools do that. some will say oh those other schools have greater reason to do so. whose fault is it if our school doesnt have that greater reason?and yea our school does come up with the most spastic ideas eg. honour stamps...at least there's a little amusement in our lives eh and we dont have to care about it do we. and i recall very clearly in discussions i once had,friends were saying they wanted to schl to acknowledge our gd pts, not always jumping on us over the slightest infringement of our school rules. and when this honour stamp idea came out in response to our suggestions, everybody thought it was ridiculous. i don't think it is easy to run a school. and one shldnt hate the school because of a particular individual.anyway, haha school is school, the wider society is worse.

okay, whatever. as for me, i'm grateful for the varying personalities i've met in crescent. for the days playing soccer. for some wonderful teachers. for uncle mao!!! uncle mao!!! swoon! ;) i forgot to mention he's totally the cutest! he posed for sally's camera! and willingly obliged all the 4times we asked to have a picture taken with him!For the thrill of running out of school way before dismissal. for the wonderful memories of a terribly spastic 2s2. stoning during ldds meetings. :) oh yea i'll definitely not miss lessons tho!!! mwahaha!! okay, it is still a drag to go to school mwahahah but only coz of its banality but yea, i dont hate crescent. haha. hoho.i hate school, the idea of school. but i cant say i hate crescent. so contradictory eh. but crescent is not an idea. crescent = my friends, my memories, 1/4 of my life. and the bad parts will all be forgotten.

on another note, i bitched about a teacher a little too loudly and she heard me! argh! aww mann....its bothering me quite a bit. i feel like apologising to her! but then that would be quite insincere cos i really cant apologise for feeling upset with her frequent habits of criticising me. okay, maybe a little exaggeration on the frequent part. but i do feel guilty with my cynical view that she criticises me just to get a kick,that she picks on me on purpose cos she can't stand my arrogant attitude,maybe my i-know-everything expression. and you know the best part about the issue, I PREDICTED what she was going to say when i decided to skip the mock exam. i totally predicted it. grr. haha the "you think you're so smart?"was predicted and yea i gotta agree with "you've got no mind of your own is it?" coz i did choose to go with the flow, because i cldnt care too much for challenging it. whatever. now she hates me. haha.

Cat Stevens

It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

today yazzie is annoyed.
why is yazzie annoyed?
yazzie is annoyed because a certain teacher thinks yazzie is overconfident!
yazzie would not mind if yazzie is really overconfident.
for yazzie appreciates truth.
however, yazzie is certain this is not the truth,
as yazzie is shitfuckscared about screwing up in the papers she's supposed to be good at

yazzie would like to say that resting one's head on the table when the teacher is teaching,
does not mean that yazzie is not paying attention.
does not mean that yazzie is overconfident.
and if that certain teacher bothered to open the eyes proper,
that certain teacher would realise that yazzie was actually writing down what she was saying.

yazzie realises she has the tendency to be "extra" and yazzie wonders whether she should make behavioural adjustments to appear more humble. yazzie sometimes wonders what teachers expect - when you keep quiet, they complain: typical singaporean students!Can't think! and when you speak up, they get the impression you're "overconfident". yazzie is indeed vexed.

yazzie was actually on the verge of tears when yazzie told the teacher she was feeling frightened, and the teacher's response was that she was overconfident.how could something be so misinterpreted?

yazzie does not quite understand why she is so affected by the words of this certain teacher, who has once before, also made a similar comment that yazzie's overconfidence will be yazzie's downfall. and all because yazzie, as is obvious, is an extremely disorganised person who keeps on losing her papers and books. Apparantly, the fact that yazzie was not copying notes in the "right" book(due to it being missing),made yazzie overc0nfident.

yazzie is feeling rather upset as she feels she has been unfairly singled out. She does feel better now, though, having vented it out here.yazzie sayss grrrrrrrr...=( yazzie takes criticism badly eh. yazzie hopes these experiences will teach her to take criticism and unfair judgements in her stride.

The No-Nonsense Guide to Globalisation
by Wayne Ellwood

Globalisation: it’s a buzzword you can’t escape. For some it’s the ticket to a democratic world of instant communications and global prosperity. For others it’s a money-mad juggernaut, spinning wildly out of control, threatening both cultural and biological diversity.

Today the Western consumer model has seeped into every corner of the globe while gaps in wealth, food security and social provision continue to grow. The No-Nonsense Guide to Globalisation traces the journey towards a borderless world. And in the process it shows that the promise of globalisation is seductive, powerful, and ultimately hollow.

one of the more lucid books on globalisation.read it.


[ I got a lifetime in | Yasmeen | 6:22 PM ]



Not entirely practical, but an interesting read nonetheless!i do agree with some of what the writer says, such as, in idleness the greatest ideas come to us. the writer however has missed the part that very hard work is needed to work on the ideas we get from idleness!imagine- he's making craploads of money from writing abt how to be idle and telling pple guilt-free idleness is ok!

The virtue of idleness

From the Bible on, moralists and nags have promoted the benefits of hard work and early rising. They are mistaken, argues Tom Hodgkinson. For breathing space to create and time to reflect, indolence is essential. He offers a guide to easy living, pleasurable illness, and effortless sex

national day celebration today was fun! haha! ooo yazzie has become a patriotic singaporean!
haha! well...nah not really. maybe maybe not. that might be true, but is quite irrelevant to the fact that today's national day celebration was fun, since it is possible to sing and wave flags madly when you dont really do it for why you are supposed to do it.just our last yr together.just had too much energy to spare. just the fact that we,frens and i, are living someplace together.maybe for more than those reasons?i don't know.and oh yes!the red ties look beautiful with our polo t!everyone was commenting on how great we all looked!haha!

ate at seoul garden with 11 others!had to wait 2 damn hrs at taka!coz seoul garden was too full..so reserved then went away to stone.was so tired.slept on hari's lap!avie,abidah bumped into us while we were camping at basement 2!walked arnd..bought earrings for nurul cos she'll turn 16 this sunday!! and di bought a famous amos cookie cake!dint eat that much at S.g.. yet felt so blaoted. cldnt eat the meat and seafood stuff anymore so stuffed myself with icecream!bloated now.burp.ohyes!took neoprints!they look lovely!

and excerpts from it:
 
So why are mean girls mean?

Consultant psychiatrist Brian Yeo said this is a common group behaviour among girls, and it stems from their need to congregate and belong in a group.

The girls find their strength in numbers and this 'popular girls culture', as he calls it, includes being collectively mean towards other girls.

The current Miss Singapore Universe, Ms Sandy Chua, a former Katong Convent student, threw up another reason.

She reckons some girls behave this way because they might want to draw attention away from their own inadequacies.

'These girls put others down and highlight others' faults so that they feel better about themselves,' the 19-year-old beauty queen said.

i hate the fact that i'm such an incapable useless fool.i hate the fact that i'm gonna die a failure. my views are becoming more and more twisted and contradictory as the days pass.i'm becoming more and more ignorant.i can't control the sudden surge of sadness that overwhelms me a lot of the time. or the sudden hyperactiveness that comes unexpectedly after periods of overwhelming sadness. it's quite bad for my studies, since when experiencing the former emotion, i go to sleep, and while experiencing the latter, i can't sit still.this makes me feel all the worse, cos here i am with all these opportunities, and instead of seizing them, i stone and stone and feel like shit.

i hate school. i know it's being very selfish of me.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1239824,00.html


parts of it:

The March 6 memo, prepared for Mr Rumsfeld explained that what may look like torture is not really torture at all. It states that: if someone "knows that severe pain will result from his actions, if causing such harm is not his objective, he lacks the requisite specific intent even though the defendant did not act in good faith".

What this means in understandable English is that if a parent, in his anxiety to know where his son goes after choir practice, does something that will cause severe pain to his son, it is only "torture" if the causing of that severe pain is his objective. If his objective is something else - such as finding out where his son goes after choir practice - then it is not torture.

Mr Rumsfeld's memo goes on: "a defendant" (by which he means a concerned parent) "is guilty of torture only if he acts with the express purpose of inflicting severe pain or suffering on a person within his control".

Couldn't be clearer. If your intention is to extract information, you cannot be accused of torture.

aside from Darcy, i'm quite in love with Manmohan Singh..see that picture of him on the front page of this week's economist! isnt he SOOO cute? yea sharmeen and the other RMUNers reminded me he's only 70.he's just so bloody kuchikuchi cute, he looks so deep and unassuming and soo...nice. i like him!

me: huh.
dad:your ambition.
me:dont know
dad:journalist?teacher...lawyer?you can talk what, debate and all.
me:not interested.
dad:why dont you work with young kids?kindergarten teacher?

i mean. i dont know if the kindergarten teacher part was a joke.not that i mind young kids, but eeee, it'll be not too teach them to sing or whatever u noe?but anyway, i sorta see the fact that he cld think that i might wanna be a kindergarten teacher as an insult.maybe he thinks im stupid and lacking the intellectual ability to do anything else.or maybe he's a chauvinist. :/

ah yes. exam marks.pretty bad.but not THAT bad.
B3 for english.expected, but was slightly disappointed after realising how easy it was to have gotten an A2 at the very least.dont really care abt the compre part, but was more disappointed abt the essay/brochure. the essay was deemed as having an interesting view point which was quite unexpected coz i thot it was off-topic, but anyways, it sucked that i got marked down on language, for both the brochure and essay, bcoz i failed to use enough good vocabulary according to ms azlin.:/ ohwell, i shall make a conscious effort to use big words.

malay b3(i remain confident of attaining the 0.5marks that will give me a 64.75,thereby giving me a b3)

lit A2.21/25, 18/25, 18/25, 14/25. the 14 was deserved since it was dead shallow.

hist-ss A2.despite receiving praise for my analysis, i received only 7/13marks for my first ss essay, coz i failed to elaborate on the points earlier in the essay.funny thing was i thot i had over-elaborated.hist was higher than expected for essays.

phys-chem C6.this one was damn bloody scrwed.chem wasnt THAT bad, but phys was HORRIBLE. thing was, i actually found it rather easy.

math, a 9 as usual.

bio, b4. this was horrible, largely due to the essays. absolutely disappointed abt this paper, coz it wasnt that i didnt know the answers.esp that drug question, where i stopped at 7points bcoz it was 7marks, and it turned out to be o.5marks a point. :/really really screwed this paper up when i shldnt have.

overall, i dont feel too bad, bcoz i didnt put in too much effort.esp, math and phys, which i barely touched. but nevertheless, i was rather disappointed with the horrible phys marks. and bio.i figure i shld start working from now.i always say that, but i happen to be just abt the laziest swine in the whole world.but i really must improve loads by prelims man.

it's quite...amazing..since i was walking from the row of class b wards then suddenly i felt hot air and i looked through the wards and discovered they had no airconditioning.it's very weird that the wards of diff classes are on the same floor...coz the whole corridor outside the b wards was cool and then u walk somemore and its like two completely diff places. and all in the same straight row. it's quite extraordinary.i never knew. i mean i cant say anything, its like shucks poor things, yet u think where do u draw the line? what reasoning would you use to say that they deserve aircons which are costly to maintain?(i cant believe i used the word "deserve".)i recall a pap person...maybe it was the biglee himself..saying that the govt shld not be excessively responsible in looking after the people's medical needs, since what spurred pple to work was the thought of wanting comfort in their older years. somewhere along those lines anyway.

i just watched the Nick Berg video on The Memory Hole..and if you go there to check it out check the prisoner abuse fotos too..god.i was covering my mouth in preparation for the execution part.i'm quite embarrassed to say it wasnt that bad. but it was like slaughtering a chicken.i just hope the guy dint feel that much pain.and i cant stand that those bastards were Allahuakbar-ing away.honestly fuckers.and i know that even if it was a completely different situation and the wrongful parties were screaming in the name of freedom, or in the name of jesus or whatever, i would have felt just as annoyed."when you take away one innocent life, it's like taking away the life of all mankind"if you all are so holy and all, you shld figure that justice belongs only to god you know?(and not that i really believe this)(not that i am against courts)who the fucks gave you the right to decide who's innocent and who's not?Allahuakbar your way to hell.(not that i really believe in hell)yea well maybe i shld sympathise with the executioners?im sure it felt good to be God, to take away his life and swing his head proudly in the air.i wonder if you felt his pain at all?i wonder if you pictured him being your brother?i wonder if you pictured you and him exchanging pleasantries on the train?or were you so sure of your cause?did God send you a msg saying it was the right course of action?

it's very painful, no? knowing that these people have blood the same colour as yours,the same needs as you.what happened?am i capable of that?i think yea we all are, we do it every day, with our usual bitchiness we sting others not caring abt the pain they feel,doing it to make ourselves feel good,to get back.it's not that different.

it seems the more you love, the more you hate.you love your people so much it drives you to do crazy things,kill innocents. you love your brother so much you seek revenge for his death.

and yet, what is love but another superficiality?just like everything else...just like everything else...love is just lust or making yourself feel good.do i "love" my friends.i wld do things for them w/o thinking, and why?i suspect just bcoz i "feel" it's an obligation as a friend.i hang arnd with them to ease my loneliness, to laugh. they make you feel better abt yourself. so isnt love for friends or whoever ultimately and expression of the love you have for yourself?

i used to be able to do last minute mugging quite passionately.not this time arnd..just this weariness and i just knock off w/o studying proper,even if im not that tired.but anyways, its making me quite scared, esp math,an f9 again in all likelihood.i really want to try to study.esp since it's only a few months till its over.i wldnt forgive myself if i do badly for the prelims or o's.it'll probably make me feel even more worthless.and i cant stand that i effectively screw up all my compositions during exams.it horrendous. esp since i do exposititary essays(which cld reveal ur stupidity if u screw it up), because the stories they give are usually quite retarded.it just sucks. i cant write sense in an hr, which usually becomes half an hr after all those crushed papers.

we're just force-fed into accepting info,"knowledge". i know a lot of pple actually memorise stuff,hist textbooks and all, but wld they have the knowledge deep in their hearts, do they reason with the logic provided,imagine possibilities in their minds,u noe all that...we never really get to fully appreciate what we learn coz we never get the chance to discuss and see beyond what there seems to be.

lala
first time in wks feeling really quite happy. :)
hoorah :) just in time for my 16th burfday!

ohdearohdear. i really dont want to grow up. i mean i dont really want to stay a kid but i dont really want to grow up too. i know age is just a number. but i feel it's just a little too fast ya know?i just don't feel ready.

i guess part of the reason for my happiness is the arrival of a new FANTASY! and it's wonderful that all my very closest friends are in it too...and today was like the good ol' days...me,Vie,Siva,Bidah,Josh all crapping and laughing like loonies,mostly about R-rated stuff...haha okay here's the new fantasy--in abt 10 yrs time, we will rent some kind of ship, sail the seven seas,while selling Ramli burgers to passing ships,we'll fish and just explore and chill.saritha will provide us with the muzikk!josh will make the Ramli burgers, avie, well she'll prolly direct the ship and make a documentary. abidah is supposed to model on the ship.bwaaha.haha.gaya can fish muahaha.I'll just write or talk to the fish or something.

This fantasy and goal of sorts is making me feel alive! it's like every moment of this dreaded life you have to create a new story for yourself to survive, to feel good about waking up each day. i guess that's why pple talk abt the importance of having goals. but perhaps to pple like me,like us, a goal like getting to a good jc and such, will not do. we need bigger dreams, fantasies so unreal to others, but so real to ourselves. Fantasies which keep us going. first of all...we have to try and keep in touch :)i don't know if it's the same for everyone else...but i get the feeling that my grp of close buds from sec 2...we're all escapists of sorts...hah.


all this talking about perspective...makes me think of Anil's Ghost(this story set during sri lankan civil war)...how it ends as Ananda sees through the eyes of the giant statue Buddha who overlooks the fields. he reconstructs the broken pieces of the Buddha's face and when it is completed, he climbs up the ladder, and looks into the mirror held up for him so that he can paint the Buddha's eyes(since it wasnt right to look directly into the eyes while the painting of the eyes was incomplete)When he looks into the mirror, he looks beyond, sees the world the statue would see forever-the birds the trees the mountains. he feels the wind, hears the sounds.he sees the world from this new angle.and you realise it's an angle of beauty, not truth...if you read the book...it's about Anil's obsession with finding justice for Sailor, it's about Sarath's love for history, Gamini's realisation of his realationship with his brother -- all essentially to do with truth. though of course Anil's Ghost is not only about truth.nothing is solved in the book. does this mean truth is something so unreachable, and we should just settle for beauty?or perhaps that truth is in beauty...i dont know. It's just such a beautiful book. i will read it again. and again.i wish i could discuss the book with someone...

majorly majorly slacking. physics test tomorrow. only done like 1/4 chpts. shit.

i am a horrible person.
was horribly mean to azlin today damn sarcastic.
feel bothered by the fact that i was such a bitch.

aside from that, i just can't let things settle
always so bloody persistent
i know sometimes it seems as if i just want things my way
but believe me, it goes deeper than that.

i feel like shit all over again.
only now i know nothing's worth the tears which are as useless as the skin,body,soul,mind.

i wasnt numb then.

there's still the turmoil and i dont think words will come to the rescue now.

i don't know why i have to be so difficult. so easily affected.

smile.
