Just lost my wallet in school today. Sian my $s, cards and everything. Y I always so dumb and forgetful!!!
Anyway the camp is over so I shall post something about it. For those curious, it’s just a camp lar. Activities wise the camp is quite boring honestly due to the tight schedule which led to lack of sleep and also got many talks and very little play games session lar. But it is not totally bad because you get to interact with many people from many different schools and a chance to find some long lost friends.
Quite unlucky didn’t manage to find any long lost friends (Which is 1 of my 2 main motives for even joining this in the first place, the other is to skip 1 week school and regain my energy but too bad the camp is not relaxing). As usual I’m back to my usual anti-social quiet self. I dun noe how my camp mates view me but they are a good bunch of people overall. I guess I just dun noe how to communicate well haha but nvm.
I am not sure if I should post about my experiences in the camp here, Maybe I will. By editing this post in a future date. Nobody is interested so I can take my time :).

Missing School Uniform Days?
Yesterday night, while asking somebody about the homework we are supposed to do in order to get the 1 activity point, we also happen to talk about missing the precious school uniform days.
Hmm, after the O’levels, many students choose their next path mainly with considerations like say – their future ambitions in mind. But how many students actually choose their next school base on 1 thing: the precious chance to wear a school uniform for possibly the last time for about 2–3 years? It’s something worth pondering about.
Yes, I do miss the school uniform days after entering a polytechnic & this remind me of a great song called 二十二岁的心情 by Singaporean singer Hong Shao Xuan (I hope I don’t get his name wrongly.) & it’s really a nice song since I mentioned it. I tried to find the disc that contain the song but couldn’t find it. A search on Google & YouTube returned either 0 results or complete irrelevant stuffs.
I finally managed to find the disc today! I’m going to listen to the song & type out the lyrics below since I can’t find the it on the web. I hope I don’t type the lyrics out wrongly :).

我又回到这熟悉的地方
走在我十五六岁走过的路上
忘不了大家一起走过的草场
手牵着手的那种天真模样
我又回到这熟悉的地方
用二十二岁的心情把过去想想
少年往事毕竟不能说忘就忘
还有什么比年轻更辉煌
校园的钟声叮当叮当的响
把我带回从前的挥霍无知的地方
校园的钟声叮当叮当的响
有很多年轻的笑声正在荡漾
他们天南地北无所不谈
不知道他们明天还记不记得对方
我又回到这熟悉的地方
多年的友谊都在记忆收藏
有空的时候我也会拿出来看看
想一想当年真挚真诚的伙伴

Perfect Boredom Solutions & Some Sad Recalls
Yes! I think I had found the cure to boredom. By randomly picking some books & correcting their mistakes with a mechanical pencil by referring to their respective errata list provided by their publisher’s website, I am able to keep myself occupied for a long amount of time today.
Anyway, I’m going to do something different tomorrow. I’m going to start studying for a subject that I failed in my O’levels back then prior to entering this school. I have always been a lazy student, especially more so in my previous school. I never/rarely studied, do any home works, nor pay much attention in class since I am unable to look at the white board clearly (due to me not wearing spectacles). Still I managed to scrape through each year somehow. My luck seems to finally run out when the O’levels result are released, getting mainly Bs & failing a very important subject by 1 grade.
I went around different polytechnics to appeal & it’s not a fun process. Talking to teachers at different polytechnics to ask for advices, writing appeal letters and so on. There is 1 particular teacher I met at 1 of the schools I believe I will never forget. She told me, in a cocky manner, that it’s totally impossible for any polytechnic to accept me & advise me not to waste any time trying to appeal at other polytechnics for any courses and just go to ITE and get a NITEC & come back 2 years later. By saying that it also means to me that she is discriminating against a big group of people & that could potentially get her into more troubles. Anyway I could only blame myself for not studying hard & I’m really lucky again when 1 of the polytechnics accepted my appeal. While it isn’t a course I liked, I’m sure it will lead me somewhere. After all the fine line between different subject areas are getting blurrier nowadays =).
To put some of these sad memories behind me, I must retake this subject as a private candidate this year & hopefully pass it. Good-bye.

My Sister Never Ending School Problems
Today my sister is rather unhappy, something bad happened to her at university again.
It appears that during her team presentation on their project proposal for a compulsory computing related module that all students regardless of course need to take. Some particular team that is very skilled in computing stuffs, for some reasons best known to themselves, decide to cause my sister’s team troubles as they keep asking questions, giving comments about how bad they feel the proposal is & such. In the end, it turns into some huge spirited discussions with my sister worrying a lot as her whole team only had very basic computing knowledge like surfing The Internet for example. Luckily, as the spirited discussions heats up, the attacking team kind of overstepped their expertise area & went into some advanced mathematical stuffs & my sister’s team, having 2 extremely talented project mates in mathematics, took the opportunity to counter back & end up causing huge shame to them. The professor stopped the presentation around that time.
I think my sister has been rather unlucky in her past 1-2 years of university, just last year alone, she had two incidents that severely affected her grades. One of them caused by some weird project mate, who virtually never participate in the project at all & during the final presentation, finally appeared & shouted vulgarities & so on to anybody who attempted to ask questions. Thus ruining the whole team efforts, especially when grades were given on a team basis. It does puzzle me on why there were such students who do not even mind his own grades being affected at all as long as he could sabotage somebody. For the second incident, some project mates plagiarised & the whole team is penalised heavily. My sister & some of her project mates who did not plagiarise did perform some checks on their own but did not manage to find anything suspicious. They tried to explain it to the committee but it seems to be ignored unfortunately. Who simply just replied with they should have checked their fellow project mates works for plagiarism, which they did :(. There were just too many resources available in the world. Sigh…
Judging from what my sister’s experienced, it seems to me that a university is not such a nice place to be in but I guess that not my worry since I do not think I could even make it to university at all. =)
