March fact : march used to be the first month of the year. i heard it on the radio and realised then that another fact i read made sense after that.

february 29th, it happens only once in four years right, and why is there an extra day in the second month and not like and the end of the year? well, february 29th IS the end of the year in the past, because march was first!

the fact was : a calendar year is exactly 365days, 5 hours, 48 mins and 46s . so, every four years, the 5hours 48 mins and 46s make up a day - february 29th!

happy feb 29th fuji syuusuke! even though its not this year, happy feb 28th + 17hours plus.

and btw, if a calender year is as the statistics, february 29th would only be 23 hours, 15min and 4 sec. long as the extra time from the four years do not add up to 24 hours.

am i that anti-social? looking through photos, i realise that im not exactly appearing in them very much. i like photos, but most of them not of people. we took a MBTI personality test and guess what :
' quiet, serious, earn success by thoroughness and dependability. Practical, matter-of-fact, realistic, and responsible. Decide logically what should be done and work toward it steadily, regardless of distractions. Takes pleasure in making everything orderly and organized - their work, their home, their life. Values tradition s and loyalty'

i guess for the most part it is true, except for the 'regardless of distractions' part. i started reading a novel 4 days before my assessment week, and here i am watching upcoming movie trailers and blogging when i should be studyoing my chem and physics. back to being anti-social. i have long accepted the fact that i am one, and rather stand out than get squashed in the crowd. isn't that why i'd rather be the one offending people with my 'matter-of factly' attitude than please them? pleasing people is just so much trouble. but some people go out of their way to please people, and i do do that.at times. if i don't do it to you, then you know that you are either on my black list or just an aquaintance. teachers in school keep telling you how important reflections and we are to write reflections for something we did wrong, and when we think of doing reflections, we think of 'we should be sorry of our actions'. but lots of people reflect. by blogging, some people are actually reflecting on their day, their emotions, while some others are just typing crap. i reflect everyday, and that causes me to stone and waste much time. so would it be better to just sit around and reflect or stop reflecting and use the time to do more important things, time which i can use to complete projects which i started on or even think of starting.i procrastinate. too much. and even though i tell myself to just do it and get over with. sometimes there are people i don't exactly get along with, but still treat them better than others. probably because they quote from wen loong and gang ' dare to be different'. its good to be different. isnt' that why people hate it when they are being copied, or imitated?

irony : people want to be different yet the same. different such that they can stand out as an individual,not as a clone, not as a shadow. the same out of insecurities of the fear of being alone. i know some of my strengths and weaknesses and try to change them, but with minimal effort. i don't like trouble and that could be counted as a weakness, and a strength at the same time. i'm blabbering off like some demented teen with social issues and i don't know if its a strength or a weakness so im just going to stop right here.

nope. not yet. i do miss some people. like they say 'you don't know good it is till its gone.' i am no cold-hard bitch. just a logical, matter of factly girl, who rather think than produce facial expressions.do keep in touch.

dang. im blogging when im not supposed to be blogging, especially when i have a ih article evaluation to finish tonight. ass week coming up, under 21 matches still quite horrible, and i still get pissed with the class everyday. WHEN WILL IT STOP? when someone is gone then yes. or maybe still no.

nothing else on.

i've been wanting to post about lots of issues, but i never seem to have this discipline of sitting down for a while to talk about my thoughts.so thus far, you don't get to read many posts. i'll try to remember the next time. but don't count on it. so here's my thought for the day:

1. dressing appropriately in school and why do the teachers nag so much? well. first i would like to say that one of the reasons that i don't really like my juniors is because they are seriously having this attitude problem. i don't blame them though. just blame peer/social/western influence. and that we are of a different generation. this is what i concluded: its generation thing with the uniform. i look at the year before me seniors, their uniforms are actually more tucked in than our batch, and our batch is more tucked in than this year's juniors. as time goes by, the age at which we start bowing to social /peer/ western influence is getting younger. we want to be 'cool' by learning from our seniors (how cliche: seniors should always set a good example / be a role models for your juniors !) just to be popular, among our own peers. be the one to 'start the trend'. people will start following you, and it'll feel good (for the desperate attention seekers). back to my point. that's why our shirts are all coming untucked.earlier.

but there's a line between appropriately dressed and just plain untidy poser wanna-be(in my terms). appropriateness such that you are presentable , and can actually face people outside , giving a first impression that you aren't an asshole. shirt tucked in, but tucked in meaning i don't see the ends. i mean, different people are comfortable with varying lengths of their shirt. not everyone can stand tucking in their shirts all the way. when the end sticks out, it just looks horrible. for the bottoms, so long as it isn't slipping off the butt/boxers/underwear/thong/g-string, showing butt-cracks and whatnot that people don't desire to see even if you have a hot ass. skirts. just make sure you don't look like a whore/slut/hooker.

as for the teacher nagging part. im going back to refer to the point of generation. they are much older than us, more conservative. they think of they're own school days of the meanest discipline masters they could ever have, and obey all rules.and they don't exactly care about the school's fashion statement.just tuck it in. EVEN if it looks neat tucked in. i mean. for tucked out shirts, we could have ran about, jumped up and down, waved our hands in the air, and didn't notice our shirts coming untucked. and then the teacher walks pasts so coincidentally and starts the nagging. but students, at least TRY to 'tuck in' such that it doesn't come out and waste teacher's salivas and protect our ears.teachers, so long as it looks neat. leave it be.

i would like to applaude the nerds though. although i shouldn't be stereotyping them. but they're the group of people who don't conform to the trends, and actually dress in their own way. in other words, brave enough to dress differently and ignore all the idiots. and we, the ever must-look-the -same-dolls syndrome, condone such individuality as a bad thing.shame on us. although i don't think it'll ever change. it's just human nature.

2. shutting ips out of a' div tournaments, competitions and syfs. in my opinion, that's just trying to tell us 'don't get a cca. you won't be able to do anything like win medals or the claim to fame. just mug.if you do join the cca.waste your time training/practicing. there's nothing to practice for anyway.' so what. even if it was our choice to go to ip, didn't we come to experience MORE? why would it be unfair for the other JCs not having ip? if the ips are actually younger, wouldnt' they be less experienced as the jc students when competing? as foe the concern of ips having more experience when they reach JC level to compete, the JC students just have to work harder to claim medals from students of the same age as them.


feel free to retort. im outta juice.

school started. nothing new. besides being in ip2 and not ip1. and damn new stuff to learn. not very enthusiastic about that part.im desperately still trying to change my bad habits and am not successful as yet. i shall strive harder i suppose. and better time management. dang. that's hard.

five books in five days. that's what i have accomplished. shortest being 270 pages and longest is 401 pages. all paperback.

another thing i've realized for 2006, it was the year i read the most books, or even had a healthy interest in reading. well, i doubt i'll have the time for it next year. im gonna miss it.the sitting down reading tiny words at funny angles, not caring about what's happening around me, letting hours float by without care, and losing myself in the world that made my imagination run wild. goodbye.for now.
