i have seriously done nothing this past weekend. and the past two weeks plus next week are supposedly the busiest weeks of this term. due to all those bloody projects and deadlines which i do not appreciate. clarification, i do not appreciate school at all. well if the ministry or some authority reads this and takes me out of school to give my place to some poor kid, i'll feel more worthy and accomplished for having done a good deed, for someone who would actually appreciate school.
but you know what?fat hope. because school is compulsory for all children in singapore. primary school i believe so. but we are obliged to go to school when we come from a family who can afford it. or even if we can't, someone will help put your kids in school. but why do we need everyone to be educated? there's just going to be so much competition out there in the future.

which brings me to another point on an article i read about in the newspaper about people hitting hundred years old. i'm one of them to wish not to live till that long. why? although i'm only 16, i still have a long way to go right? but you see, my body ain't exactly that young no matter how many people tell me that i am. creaking joints, leg problems, it'll get worse in the future. but it's still better than some others out there who'd rather have my body right? and i would have to agree with the columnists views as well nearer the back of today's lifestyle paper on the same article. well it's true isn't it. but i believe that the statistics of the number of people reaching hundred will drop soon. these old people featured have gone through the hardest of times, suffered, experienced, and i would say much more satisfied than many of us now. our generation are spoilt, aren't willing to suffer hardships, and will probably die early due to the high levels of stress created by the over-competitive environment (and the unsastisfactory life they will lead even though they have acquired the bunglow, Merc, Big Fat Company and own an island somewhere in the world). well that's my theory. oh and i have to mention another. when you're big-fat-rich-at-the-top-successful (and most probably mean), there's surely someone who would be jealous and there goes the headline "Assasination attempt successful on XXX CEO of XXX PTE LTD."

i am a selfish little kid who wrote this selfish little post and i don't regret it. one has got to let the pressure out of the pot..before the broth overflows and creates a mess.

Good Luck to prelim takers!
