A Lazy Susan turns one round.

I just had my english exam recently. It was really a dejavu kind of thing. The Composition had that one word thing that i explained in a very chim way. It was on stress and on the spot, i made up a fable. There was once a scientist and a painter. The king of the country asked the scientist to create something for him so the scientist tried everything to make it great but failed misserably and created something he didnt even know what it did. Then there was a painter. He was no one big but one day, he decided to paint something. So he drew the country as an apple in the pupil of the eye. The king saw this and immediately fell in love with the painting. The moral of the story is, sometimes, stress comes because we rue the activity and are pressured to suceed so much that we miss focus on what we are really doing.

Oral exams were a little different. I think i sort of failed for my picture conversation cos it was... well its really stupid. It was a group of people in a HDB carpark staring into blank space, all looking very dazed. And the question was, what do you think they are looking at... I was like.. wtf?? ok i didnt say that but i felt like it.

Before the exam on thurday there was exam mass. Conducting the choir is a real challenge when 2 of them have no confidence in ur conducting and u have guitarists and an organist under your beat... which i still have to work on. It was good fun though. After that, JJ, steven and I were jamming on a guitar and doing all sorts of crap and stuff. For PLTC, Im worried for Nicholas because he's not the strongest drummer and im afraid that he would screw up even though i know i shouldnt. So we are resticted to simple drumming songs to play. So steven suggested that instead of playing all the songs as a band, we can do our own solos. Then Zack had his missconfidence in our leadership qualities but i dont listen to him anymore. I think hes just making excuses to get things done his way so... yea.

Earlier today we had combined cat class. Quite a few people didnt turn up that day including Christopher Tee and others left earlier. John was there though and so was Mitch. What made me have flashbacks was when Kimberly came. Ok i dont like her anymore. She's like 2 yrs history already. Still she looked very good today. I suddenly remembered what it was like to be infatuated and i thought about the days in sec 1 when i was geeky and afraid of girls at that point. Somehow it made me think about the wonders God has done. I mean I ahve changed so much since sec1. So much till some people like Charles cant accept the change. I was sitting with Mitch and Jerome and Yeti. Just like the old times. Now, since so much has changed, I dont think i will ever have that feeling anymore. Maybe i did once earlier this year. Sometime in March but it wasnt the same. Maybe it was better. For now, I plan to lay low for a while. Just see where the Lazy Susan turns to again. And when the chance comes, take my chopsticks and lash out at the food.
