Exams are over, relief rushes over me for a split second, before comprehension about what is about to take place next week scares the hell out of me again.
Isnt this a vicious cycle of stress?
We, students undergo this torment everyday, to be exact, our whole life, even as we head on to adult life and into the working world.
Can we ever shake it off?
No.
I just dont understand singapore
they oppress people who write comments of a political agenda yet they do not censure comments that are outright deflamatory towards others, even a school with an illustrious history and a prestigious background.
I admit we ij girls are outspoken, wear our belts on our hips and wear low socks, but doesnt other schools like the MUCH LOVED RGS do that too?
Why purposely, with no good intentions whatsoever, put IJ under "I" in the Singapore encyclopedia and publicly disgrace us in this way by announcing to the whole of singapore and the IMF delegates that we, ij girls, are EASY ON THE OPPOSITE SEX???!!!
IJ girls have boyfriends, so do RGS girls and SCGS girls. Public signs of affection of schoolgirls towards their partners and to the opposite sex can be spotted everywhere around in
singapore but do these girls all wear the IJ uniform???
They describe us like whores and like disgusting, flirtatious girls who are easy to get laid. WHAT RIGHT DO THEY HAVE TO MORALLY WRONG US IN THIS WAY?
Why cant that person writing that comment put himself into the shoes of the parents or even the schoolgirls when he wrote that book. How would he feel as a parent should he chance upon this article who claims that his daughter was easy on the opposite sex? Anger?
Even publishing the singapore encyclopedia is the stupidest idea ever thought of.
Publicly admitting to all our social ills to the IMF delegates?
What a good impressions singapore is making indeed.... -_-"
Singlish words such as GAMEN (government), shiok (delicious) are all printed in it.
Frankly, it's embarrassing.
We, singaporeans, once colonized by the british, fail to speak proper english
and yet we are so proud of speaking such a terrible "language"
singlish makes us unique?! since when?!
singlish=improper english.
I wouldnt be surprised if the IMF delegates threw the encyclopedia down the trashcan
rubbish n gibberish are all printed in it.
if the book actually makes an interesting read, i bet my brittanica encyclopedias seem more appealing thank you very much.
Honestly i feel a sense of attatchment to IJ, it's the school i've been studying in for the past 10 years, it's hard not to feel something for a school that formed much of my adolesence. I would even find it weird when i dont wear my ij uniform next year onwards anymore. It's the only uniform i ever worn.
Hence when people verbally or literally attack ij, it's only right for Ijians to speak up, because we are the ones wearing the uniform, the ones having to put up with the notorious reputation our school seems to be having.Why shouldnt we defend our school?
It's sad that only ex-ij girls are the only ones defending our school
Present IJ girls?!
Sigh.
I watched Steve Irwin's funeral today.
Felt an overwhelming sense of sadness.
I am so used to seeing him on my television screen.
I did cry when i saw and heard Bindi reading a speech for her dad.
shes only 8
yet she was so strong. she didnt even cry
she was smiling so radiantly and said that she would carry on her father's conservation work
i swear i would visit the australian zoo one day
ah goon seems to be lamenting today
but that's only natural
the world is shrouded by unhappiness, unsureness.
surely some of it would affect me.
haha.
<3,
ah goon
