adept de la revolution

Remember last year when I was into the whole LOOP NYC craze? I checked out their (massively outdated and rarely updated) website and wowee! They've got some nice travel totes and duffle. Their book totes are looking good too! I used to crave for the Alice Tote for obvious reasons but the friggin thing was $80 when I saw it at Far East. I'm sorry but I will never pay that amount of cash for a LOOP bag. :D() This and its tote variation was also very much sought after.

For now, I'm just satisfied with the awesome guitar sling bag that I've got.

zomg. what the hell is this!??!

I like stalking reading the LJs of random LJ people of whom I'm distantly connected with. I mean, we're all within six degrees (or less!) with each other afterall. Well then, would I be willing to wait a whole year to then be possibly marticulated into a US university of my choice? (This goes with assuming that I get a least an ABB.) I don't mind working for one year before enrolling with my A Level results rather than with my Prelim and projected results. The thing is that no matter what, I can't afford to go overseas without a scholarship and the chances of me getting one is near zero because the numbers are just piled against me. (Ugh, don't get me started on the whole scholarship issue. I have mixed feelings about it, but the bottom line is that I don't mind about selling my soul to the devil in order to persue what I want. Period.) Utilitarian? No, I don't think so. Hahaha, right now would be the appropriate moment to quote someone but nah, I shan't.

So do I wait one year for a stab at something I might not get or just settle with NUS. HAHAHA. I guess the answer will have to wait til I get my results. I know my parents are fine with me working for a year instead of studying. I don't mind either. I can always go back to Kobal's office and wrangle the $1200 salary again. Sigh, there I go again, putting all my eggs into one basket.

Something FKoh said made me think. zomg I'm thinking!!! We're competing on a fucking national standard, not just school standard. So please understand my behest at being pissed off with my grades even though most of the class did 'worse'. I'm panicking. Honestly. In my own inert way, I am. I know that just 'panickin' won't do me anything but I need to panic. My own self-made adrenaline rush - I just need to hit the right parameter. (Hello, BNW reference anyone?)

Fahy brought Socrates into the class today. Argh! I can't find any excerpt of the dialogue between Socrates and Protarchus on hedonism. Well obviously the whol excerpt was presented to us to detect the philosophical intricacies of the speech of Mustapha Mond and the Savage. (I always want to just call him "John", but that's not right at all.) He was critisizing the class, and Singapore in general about how we all needed to be prompted because we weren't responding as he wanted. Sorry but I like to keep my thoughts to myself Oh well. Still, I'm just grateful he thrusted the photocopied pages of the dialogue in front of us. if there's anything I like about philosphy, it would be the logic-process of the Socratic method. Fahy has an uncanny method of making me think, or at least have the desire to think. JTan does it too, but with a more painful and more laborious method. Haha, but really, he's like an old grand-daddyish old man under that annoying chauvanist persona. Or rather, he has acute schizophrenia then.

I'VE FOUND IT.

( Protarchus vs Socrates round 1 )

Did anyone realize that this was some what a reversal of the Mond/Savage dialogue?

Still, I wouldn't dare to embark on a philosophy major in unversity. My brain would explode. I don't think I deal too well with logic and reasoning. Haha.

σῶμα / sôma, literally "body", used in the context of emancipation.

Oh hey. Soma.

GP was... GP was very bleh today. I actually spaced out during the summary analysis and was jolted back to reality when JTan unceremoniously called on me to painstakingly try to paraphrase points. I am a dunce lah. Xiao an was trying to convince me to go the after-prom party at DXO with tantalizing offers like Chivas Regal(s) at $120 only, but what clinched the deal was the fact that his band's going to perform! That means Wenseng and Melvin too! So tell me now, how can I not go and support them? Though, it'd be a be tricky getting into the club. :D()() Xiao An said that he might be emceeing too, ahha to which I said "why don't I write your script again?" HAHAHAH. Cackling cacaphony of clarinets anyone? I think I traumatized him with the alliteration gone crazy script of Con Fuoco IV.

Rarr! wtf, it's already been 2 weeks and I haven't gotten my CISCO prize yet. I'm deathly afraid that Bro Paul will actually give it to me during the graduation ceremony. wtf, no thank you. I'd like to just take it and run away. =A=;;;

PSST HANS. I THINK MY D/D IS LOST IN THE MAIL????????
