Week 9 of Skool

Two more weeks to the so-called hols, but they're chock full of courses. In any case, I have to get past book checking this week, and finish up the Term 1 syllabi.

People passing unwanted comments and not saying it like they mean it still gets on my nerves. Like "My! Aren't you casual today? Going to Orchard?" Just say what you mean and mean what you say, man. And it's called PE attire. You can go sweat in your slacks. I'll be practical, tangjewberrymud.

I have also been staying far too late to be healthy butn there just seems to be too much. Don't know how they do it. Maybe I AM moving too fast.

Quotable quotes by Jasmine Tang

"I didn't do any good!"

"I'm just trying to screw it up!"

Match Point

Had a tennis lesson with Jasmine's dad. He said I had potential, but then again, everyone does.
Learnt the forehand today, and boy it isn't easy. Starting to appreciate how easy Federer makes things look. It's criminal how balletic he is.
Had a fun time with Kimjin and Jasmine anyhow.

Contradictory contradictions

1. I want patience and I want it now!
2. There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.
3. Don't use a big word where a diminutive one will suffice.
4. If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too?
5. Why is abbreviation such a long word?
6. As I have said before, I never repeat myself. Let me repeat again...
7. As long as I can remember, I have had amnesia.
8. Bureaucrats cut red tape, but lengthwise.
9. Did you hear? They took 'gullible' out of the dictionary!
