reflections

well, i decided to write in a new entry out of boredom, and yeah also to reflect a little. during dinner i was discussing with my parents about my decision for the jae. i was saying, what if i didnt get into sa, but got into jj instead? the only reason why i put jjc as my second choice was because, and ONLY because i was an ogl there, else i dont think i would even want to go there in the first place, ok and maybe because xj is going there too=D
i would rather go to nanyang poly if i couldnt get into sajc, because there was this course i really wanted to take there, just that i decided to go to a jc to satisfy my family, i think. yeah, and back to the main subject. i told them, i would like to go to poly if i couldnt make it and they werent very happy. just see their faces and you'd know. *sigh* they were saying if you go to poly to take that course, there will be no future for you in that industry as they rarely take females. furthermore, they said you might not even be able to secure a job in the first place. yeah and so on so forth. they just summed it up saying that they would prefer me to go to a jc then going to poly. AWW CMON. just say that you dont want me to go to a poly, dont say PREFER. gosh, this sucks. plus, they were so discouraging, everything they said was pointing to: YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO TO A POLYTECHNIC. *SIGH*
so i think i really have no choice in this matter. bound to go to a jc no matter what. well my parents have given me alot of freedom throughout my life, so maybe i got a little wilful? always wanting to satisfy myself only? maybe my parents were feeling that since they were very accomodating towards me, i should try to accomodate them for once. o well. guess the case is closed. its like, whenever they talk about my choice for the jae, they rattle(including my sister) on and on about jcs, jcs, jcs. not a single word about polys. heck, they just kicked poly into the rubbish bin and talk happily ever after.DUH.
anyway, i want to talk about someone else. my mother's friend and her o so wonderful daughter(so she claims but i dont think she really is, huh!). well, it so happens that her daughter scored an 11 for her o's. thing is, in the past her daughter was always the underdog in nanhua sec. always going to the bottom class, getting bullied(acadamically), basically a sad life in there. auntie sok eng was then the 'poor mother' who always laments about her daughter's stuggles, yeah blah blah blah. then o levels comes and POP! out comes a score which is... ok fine its a good score i admit. better than me. i got a 13 only. when auntie knew the results, she totally turned into the most IRRITATING person ive ever seen in my life. rank number 3 on the pissed-off board. her daughter was in innova for the first 3 months. now auntie wants her daughter to go to AJC. OMG. SHE CAN GO TO H***. AJC WILL NEVER TAKE HER.C-O-N-F-I-R-M. she's just on the borderline mark, its almost impossible to go in. besides she doesnt have 2 extra points because she's not in there for the first 3 months. also, she doesnt have anything to appeal in to, really. her sports isnt good. ok moving on. seriously, her studies is not good i am sure. going to ajc will only ruin her, ok not too bad, but it puts alot of pressure on a acadamically challenged student who is on the borderline mark.cmon, everyone there has a score of 6-7, why would they bother with a small fry like her... she's a ELEVEN for gods sake.
what else... yeah. anyway she ended up opting to go to jjc. omg. luckily im gone from there. dont think i can stand it. thats because i dont like people following me. im jjc, she's jjc. im badminton, she's badminton. gonna kill me. and many other things i dont care to say. just a few days ago aunite called my mum and was asking about the criteria for taking S paper in jjc. y is she asking? because im in jjc for the first 3 months, she assumes i know. by the way, S paper is for SCHOLARSHIPS. she wants her daughter to take the paper for WHAT? dont tell me its for the scholarship, i give you a 70% its for the name, because S paper is something, like, uh... a sign saying that you are smart because its a hard paper? something like that. more for the fame. practically on the same frequency as ajc.
next, she told me mum that at innova, her teacher asked her daughter what did she get for her o's. the girl said she got 11. then the teacher said: o, so where are you going then? guess what auntie said? she told my mum: the teacher is so rude! she should have asked if my daughter wanted to stay in innova. HEY HEY HEY, earth calling to auntie please. 11 is not such a great score that everyone will hunker for yr attention and try to get you to their jc. besides, i felt that the teacher was not rude, she was being nice. i mean, innova is not a good school, its too new, no reputation and all. she wouldnt expect an 11 to stay here while they were receiving 20 pt students right? anyway, i never liked this auntie from the start, but she's my mum's friend. still have to give her a CERTAIN amount of respect, heh. o yeah, she's really meek. when she calls, you can hardly hear her voice. if you talk to her on the phone sounding sour or grumpy, you can hear her voice SHRINKING from barely audible to inaudible. LOL. ok i think im being rather mean at this part. but you know, when i think of the shrinking part, i laugh like crazy... hee hee hee!=D
yeah... think i better stop here for now. getting too long. tried to standardize my english for this entry, heh, but its so TIRING. i got too used to using chat language... so many errorsT_T. to type and to write is very different ya know? lol ok then... im off. =D
