A sunday web log

Blog is the portmanteau of web log. Yea tats the word - portmanteau. Cant recall this word until i google it. Blog is jus a word from the combined sound of 2 words seriously. Haha oops, the title was inspired by an email.

Quite alright, i mean, at least u are able to continue reading, despite its length. U know some paragraphs can be too cheem to read? It is like i cant scan to get the gist. I cant read with pleasure, got to read word by word and repeatedly to understand the writer. and of cos this chemistry varies from individuals to individuals. Some texts are perfectly engaging for some, but jus alien and unattractive for others. This one's alright for me. and of cos i can read mine easily. Interesting, jus when a dear fren commented blogging abt more factual stuff. This one's totally. Ahh, from his story, i realised i haven been blogging names that much. Prolly cos the social circle is much more diverse now, even with the mentioning of names, there isnt relevance. The sunday email is able to. For a targeted grp of readers. Am i becoming more mysterious, more hidey? Shucks.

Anyhow, right right. Of cos not a blog. It is an email. Not bad that it is his hobby to share his story to a specific grp of readers. Sry sceptical abt the comments exchanging portion. Isnt that the reason it is not a blog which allow comments to be posted anyway? u can even have private comments but i wonder how many will reply the email?

24°C afternoon. Cold and wet sunday afternoon. Cooling. Floods. Sighz.

Got thru another chpt of the course. Totally not in the studying zone anymore. All becos of that crap finance. I dont understand why it takes 1.5mths to make that payment, which stops me from getting the exam date. Sigh all these are exactly the reasons why i stop complaining. Seriously it isnt gg to change anything. Im at their mercy. I would have @#$&* everyday if i dont let it go. If i fail this, even tho they r to be blamed cos of this ridiculous time lapse, it is really not gonna change the outcome. Exactly why one can only control one's actions and not the environment or other actions. Might as well be zen. Wat to do?

Breathe in....wat a wonderful whiff of fresh air. It is really good to write freely. Writing for oneself is definitely different from writing for others. The style will definitely change too, as u think of the reader while u write. Nobody gg to judge the texts, unlike those docs at work, kenna lots of tracked changes. Tho it is good to know what and where r the changes, it can be quite demoralising. But actually one doesnt need to be depressed over the corrections cos it is either "it is jus his preferred way of writing and phrasing it la" or "argh , tats right, why did i make that mistake" or "ooohhh, tats new, i didnt know it". All these better than not reading at all, the poor editor will be tracking the changes for nothing.

It is almost the end of apr. Lets look forward to a happy labour day. Oyasumi nasai!!

Les miserables

Talking abt miserable. Took a long bus trip with bro and we were mostly reminiscing sec sch days tho our yrs apart forbid us to be in the same 4-year batch. Not the bus ride but the miserable sch rules tho nostalgic, fun enuff to be in our conversational topics. It has been years since i took bus 30. Our amazing discipline master is indeed famed for his values. wonder why we were all so obedient. Or were we? Mostly i would say.

 1. Hairbands can only be black or dark blue for girls. Without hairbands u will kenna the sha gua tou with super short fringe above the brows.
 2. guys can only have side parting, no centre parting is allowed.
 3. Shirt cannot be tucked out with more than 2 fingers width. so exact!
 4. Skirts must be of such lengths that the entire knees are covered, else u are gg to wear his spare ones which reach down to the ankles.
 5. No ankle socks. He doesnt call those socks.
 6. Canvas shoes have to be all white. U know sometimes bata sell those with red and blue lines on the rubber strip. We have to liquid paper those off if the shoe polish failed to cover it well. No sport shoes allowed.
 7. Watch face cannot be bigger than the wrist size. No wonder most of the thin pple wear specs. 8. No sling bags. Only backpacks allowed. Why ah?

The most incredible work is to lead a grp of prefects to have such mindsets, dutifully carrying out his orders. My bros said the peer support leaders used to be the harmless black ants while the prefects r the red army ants. Apt. They only introduced the PSLs in my last year, but they are basically much hipper than the prim and proper prefects. The PSLs focus mainly on team bonding and to be more outspoken. Vaguely rmb those activities they tried to motivate the bookwormy students to participate. Tough job.

 The dm has his own ways of ensuring discipline. Like he will question why students nv bow and greet him even tho they really din see him. Greet without bowing also will be questioned. Like he will randomly ask u to show him ur fingernails. Like he will pass u a pair of scissors to unpick the hemline so that the skirt can cover the knees, seriously half of the knees also cannot. Like he will after morning assembly, speak into the mic "4A 班 的 学生从后面倒数地第四位，刚才没有开口唱国歌. " we will all be like omg, he has eyes all over the parade square. Faint. The next few days u know why the volume is louder. imba right. Salute him.

Gosh, thinking back, we must be first from the bottom in the fashion industry. Hideous. Very strong personality i would say, not easy to maintain such old chinese sch culture, with definitely new teachers voting to loosen the rules. Anyway still thank him for allowing us to experience such rules in the millenia, seriously wont find it anywhere now. We were such good antique students. N he is the legendary dm. 

Watched les miserables - the movie this time, 2 wks back alr. U really need a real good home theatre to have at least 50% of the ambience in a musical theatre. cant fight the live band, the powerful singers n somehow the level of echo thru the mic is jus nice in the theatre. The volume n tone at the different sections play important roles, differentiating the various versions on u-tube. Not bad still, n i finally declare hugh jackman as my idol after takuya kimura. Alr in my A list for wolverine.Charming. Like the other 2 tracks too, other than the much famed "i dreamed a dream". cheered me on for a quick night run.

One day more! Another day, another destiny. This never-ending road to Calvary; These men who seem to know my crime Will surely come a second time. One day more! ........... Tomorrow we'll discover What our God in Heaven has in store! One more dawn One more day One day more!

Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted..

 Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes!
