ok so finally syf is over. after months of preparations. we got a gold. so did mgs, st nicks, and a few other schools as well. Ri got honours. Dunman High got honours. but NANYANG got honours as well. and CHINESE HIGH got gold. something's wrong here. it should be the other way around. omg. how can chinese high be on par with us. they are like way above us.

i'm not pissed that we didn't get honours. sure it would have been nice to have those two extra words behind our gold. but we got what we deserved. chinese high didn't. they deserved more. and nanyang didn't deserve the honours.

here's the thing. we managed to procure a copy of the grading sheet a few minutes before the results (don't ask how), and we saw that between a regular gold and an honours gold is a difference of five points. so just 5 more points to our score and we can get an honours already. so what is it about nanyang's performance that gave them the extra edge, and what is it about chinese high that pulled them down? no one knows except the judges.

so now i'm ponning school (legally i'm on mc) trying to catch up with homework. stupid la. so much work. and common test starts next week. omg.

speaking of which, for those who dion't already know, here's the difference between a common test and a mid year exam. it has nothing to do with percentages. it has very little to do with psychological destressing. it has everything to do with the fact that we have to be in school the whole day for common test. for example. i think on the tuesday. the first paper is history. second paper is core maths. which is at 12 50. however, those not taking history (and that's most of the ib cohort) have to be in school at 8. therefore we'll be stuck in school for about 5 hours and are supposed to spend it studying. how fun.

oh well. life sucks. what to do. better start on homework.

crap i want that deuter bag.

"Green Day - Holiday"

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

"The representative from California has the floor"
Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday (feedback continues into boulevard of broken dreams)
