mega drained...

waa finished at 5 today. had my first lit lesson. luckily PE today was indoors and it wasn't some 8-round run or wateva if not i would have just ko-ed for my lit lesson. anyway my lit teacher is ms ng e-ching... she's from china if i'm not wrong has an accent but her english is mega pro... wth her vocab stuns all of us. ever heard of e word 'mordant'? wth is that?!! she's damn pro. besides, she's rather funny and cool too... she understands ppl sleep in class and won't get angry. she allows eating in class. plus she admits she probably won't catch ppl who sms in class cos she's unobservant. she writes competition-standard chinese calligraphy plus she has a parrot named 'koro'... which apparently is a disease that older men get that makes something smaller. -.- quote from her handout:"Hell knows no fury like a teacher whose lesson has been scorned. A white slip and much wrath will descend upon the absconder with lightning speed." bleh lit teacher indeed.

first lesson. we got a diagnostic essay, an ongoing poetry portfolio, literary vocab notebook, and a chunk of info on our scheme of work this year: othello, pride & prejudice and poetry. it seems really fun but really heavy too... but yea definitely e most interesting subject i've had so far... along with KI. gosh so my two fav subjects are lit and KI, if i discount e apprehension of e immense workload coming along with it. wat kind of career do u tink i'll take up if my fav subjects are lit and ki? philosopher!!! waaa i come up with a new kind of governmental policy (solomon really did this for his philo essay u know... he dubbed his new theory Solomonism. something which involved him being king or something those lines. rather convincing argument...) and rule alongside with Brilliant and Genius. LOLZ wat am i talking about... spouting nonsense.

but seriously... dono if i'll be able to cope with so much work from lit. and all my lit lessons are at 4... which make my tues and thurs end at 5 which really sucks. but somehow if i get thru all this... i'll probably be the proudest of my work in lit and ki. things that i'll wanna keep will be stuff that i did in these two subjects... ahh determination!!

bleh ben goh i'm so relieved that at least u think along e same lines as me... even tho my imagination is so much more incredible. u dream of being an actor in a show... i imagine being a character in a fantasy novel. with magic to command!! dragons to ride!! swords to fight, creatures to talk to... wat others are there. shallow? definitely not. (maybe i'm disagreeing only cos i feel this way also but i'll argue from a logical point of view ok?) to be so practical, mature and so grownup (especially if its for image alone), to give up childhood joy and thrill from imagination and fantasy, to shun the flutterings of exhilaration when we see something so beautiful yet so impossible... now dats shallow. our imagination is e limit yea? practicality's e one holding us back from utopia.

anyway to more concrete stuff... i was so tired today. and so thankful for the ppl who just were there. to talk to me, eat with me, walk with me to the bus stop... when i ate with someone, e time just seemed to pass and i was refreshed. when i walked e dreaded long walk in e drizzle to e bus stop opposite j8 with someone, it suddenly seemed much nearer and more manageable. suddenly, when i was so tired out by e day, e small nice things that ppl do become so much more obvious and i really appreciate e little things so much more.

in conclusion, 7 hours of lesson = headache. lolz expect to hear this kind of bitching every tuesday.
