Today, more so than before, the influence of the media has to be moderated. Comment.

more so than before - now compared to the past

influence - negative impact

media - new media (internet, television)

moderated - controlled

1. More accessible - no limits - more vulnerable to influence

2. New media allows freedom of expression - not limited to elite - protect people from harmful information

3. Reliance on the media

4. Immediacy of interaction

5. Individual rights to freedom of expression

6. Destroys original creations

Do you agree that the internet has changed our lives for the better?

It has been many years since the internet has been around, which has undeniably impacted the individual of today's modern society. Being pervasive and ubiquitous, the internet has become an important tool society uses in everyday life. While this revolutionary change does has its negative consequences, the internet has not only empowered many, but has also improve the lives of many.

The internet has provided entertainment for many. Being widespread and easily accessible through computers and even mobile phones, the internet can be utilized by almost anybody. The internet provides a spectrum of entertainment, ranging from watching videos on Youtube to playing online games on Miniclip. Contrary to traditional forms of media, the internet allows the individual to save money by allowing the individual to have access to such forms of entertainment for absolutely no cost at all.

Communication has improved tremendously through the aid of the internet. The internet provides immediate interaction to users online. This has been used by many to interact with others. Firms utilize the internet to host conferences for subordinates located all over the world while teenagers access social websites and instant messaging programmes such as Facebook to interact with their friends. This has eliminated geographical constraints allowing the world to be interconnected.

Freedom to express oneself has bettered the lives of many. Through the use of websites such as forums and weblogs, the ordinary person is able to express himself and make himself heard. This trend is seemingly common today as a weblog is used commonly as a tool for expression. Famous celebrity bloggers in Singapore such as Xiaxue have gained overnight fame due to the internet through the sharing of their expertise. By sharing views and information online, people would become more knowledgeable improving their lives.

The internet also serves the function of providing information. Being highly accessible from all locations regardless of race, gender or class allows anybody to acquire knowledge by going online to search for information. Search sites such as Google facilitate this as online citizens access the large bank of information sprawled out online. This information results in the education of more people, making them more marketable and competitive in the economy with new skills, improving their lives.

Despite all the benefits presented to society, internet does have its downside as it leads to addiction. Over-reliance on the internet for entertainment be it in the form of games or videos could result in addiction. A lack of self-control would result in the individual getting hooked on the internet. In South Korea, a couple was too engrossed in taking care of their virtual baby that they forgot to care for their baby in real life. With proper discipline, the internet can be abused by addicts to worsen their lives.

The internet can also be abused easily. Free authorship enables anybody with access to the internet to post content of their choice. This content is usually unregulated due to its sheer amount. This enables people with malicious agenda to use the internet to spread harmful information. Terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda have utilized the internet to teach individuals how to construct bombs, threatening the safety of society. Propagating such information on the internet is easy and it may have a negative influence on viewers.

In retrospect, while the internet poses danger to society if it not is handled properly, internet has greatly improved the lives of many ranging from a common person chatting with his overseas friend to a suppressed citizen of a country voicing his views online.

"The fight against crime can never be won." Discuss. (TPJC 2009 Promotional Examination)

Napolean Bonaparte said over two hundred years ago, "The infectiousness of crime is like that of the plague." Even today, this statement holds true. At least several cases of crime can be found reported daily on the newspaper. However, even with law enforcers like the police force, crime is still everywhere. One would thus ask whether the pursuit of completely eradicating or at least minimizing the actions of criminals against the public good is still feasible. Yet, while one may argue that crime is impossible to stop, it can however be greatly minimized.

A key reason why the fight against crime cannot be won is due to the ballooning numbers of new criminals appearing. Poverty is a cause of crime such as theft or robbery, whereby the criminal is forced to commit such crimes in order to survive or support his family. With little aid given to the poor, they would eventually be forced to commit such crimes. If the poor are not provided sufficient financial aid, more and more of them will steal thus making the fight against crime an uphill battle. Crime rates tend to be higher in countries with poorer citizens such as Nigeria as opposed to countries of higher affluence such as European nations.

Furthermore, the fight against crime cannot be won due to the sheer numbers of criminals. Despite having advanced technology to stop criminals such as cameras installed in shops to prevent shop theft or forensic investigators to track down a murderer, law enforcers at times are severely outnumbered by criminals whereby they are unable to stop crime. Criminals are often so many that the police force with limited resources are unable to find and apprehend them. Riots and protests demonstrate how a small police force is of little use to overcome criminals from wrecking havoc.

The fight against crime cannot be won due to the vast influence from surrondings. Subtle forms of crime are portrayed in an ordinary person's life everyday. From news about drug smugglers to games revolving around shooting people with guns, people are often under the influence of the media to commit such crimes subconsciously. This was seen in the US where a Viginia tech student, who was influenced by a shooting game, came to school armed with a gun. He killed several innocent schoolmates before shooting himself in the head. Negative influence from the media often results in crimes being committed.

The war against crime can still be won albeit the rise of criminals. Globally, every society has rules and laws for citizens to follow. Should they commit offences or engage in criminal activity, the government would not hesitate to exercise authority to bring these criminals to justice. By apprehending criminals, the number of criminals would drop and at the same time deterring others to commit crimes. By instilling fear into criminals, they would be less likely to commit crimes, winning the war against crime.

The media being a double edged sword, can also help the fight against crime. By promoting values and morals, the media is able to positively change the mindsets of people. Broadcasting cartoons where the good win the evil send the simple message that evil doers will eventually be caught. Life lessons like returning money lost to the police also cultivate a sense of responsibility and civic mindedness to television viewers. Pricking the conscience of someone through the media would allow the person to better decipher right from wrong and make right choices. Therefore, through the positive influence of the media, crime can be curbed.

Lastly, the fight against crime can be won due to post-prison treatment. Instead of letting criminals slip back to their old ways, certain countries government have special programmes to help criminals fit back into society. The yellow ribbon project in Singapore encourages society to give criminals a second chance, allowing them to be employed and to be accepted by their family. Prevention is better and cure and by ensuring that criminals turn over a new leaf after serving their sentence in prison, the number of criminals would fall thus fewer crimes would occur helping the fight against crime.

In retrospect, while it is impossible to fully eradicate crime off the face of the earth, it is still possible to minimize and curb the number of crimes being committed in society. A government would be able to successfully win the fight against crime if it is able to take proper measures to prevent people from turning into criminals and provide help for criminals who wish to turn over a new leaf.

Elitism

2010-12-21T22:04:00.014+08:00

ELITISM

"Everyone has the impulse to be elite." The promotion of one being superior to another and therefore demeaning others is something society commonly witnesses. From a simple laugh at someone who cannot solve a simple Math problem to a rich man mocking a beggar, elitism has pervaded modern society. But is this an issue with all boon with no bane? Perhaps through the elevation of a select group of people over another, due to intellect, wealth or special attributes, other members of society would be harmed in one way or another. Or maybe the elitists themselves are harmed in the very process trying to surpass others in order to gain superiority. How then should this issue be tackled?

WHAT CAUSES ELITISM?

The belief that mighty people can look down on others poorer than them has been present throughout history. In ancient empires, emperors having many concubines while ordinary civilians having only one woman demonstrated how the elite, the royals in this case, could use their power to gain something more. The number of women a person back then could have signaled that person's financial ability to support the people around him. This is no different from today's society. People constantly pursue the goal of the acquisition of wealth in hope that through monetary and material superiority, they would be able to lead better lives compared to others around them. As such, one of the main causes of an elitist mindset is the desire for a better life.

Then again, an elitist may be a person who is highly egocentric and is sore afraid of being controlled. Hitler and the Nazis, who greatly despised the Jews, also had an elitist mindset that all Jews were inferior to them and that they had to be exterminated. Hitler refused to acknowledge that the Jews deserved to live thus in his fight for global domination, he attempted to get rid of all the Jews in the world. Despite his failure, the lives of many innocent people were taken as a result of him thinking that Jews were not worthy of living and that the Aryans had every right to get rid of them.

But perhaps the simplest reason for elitism lies in the very nature of the education system. A meritocratic system like Singapore places heavy emphasis on a person's merits and results, making other traits of a person like race, gender and even age negligible. Thus, Singaporean children from young are taught that in order to succeed, they must study hard to achieve splendid results, or results that are better than others. As children are highly impressionable, they slowly follow suit. This bonanza continues as parents pump loads of cash on exorbitantly priced tuition classes for their kids in hope that their children unleash their full potential to achieve greater results and be valued as part of society.

CONSEQUENCES?

As a result of this change in mindset and perspective, elitism has reshaped our society, changing many fundamental aspects of our lives such that we fail to notice them. Elitism does have its benefits as through the want to surpass others, people would tend to strive harder to achieve their goals. Research has shown that through competition, an athlete would be able to surpass not only his competitors, but also his own personal limits. Hence, the want to do better than others to not to feel inferior pushes people to excel and even thrive. In fear of being surpassed, elitists would push themselves pass their own limits.

But there is likewise a downside to elitism. Not only is elitism similar to favoritism, it also widens social gaps between people. Elitism in itself is a form of favoritism towards oneself rather than to others. This is mainly due to an elevated status, greater amount of wealth or even a higher level intelligence. This belief that one is superior to others would result in unfair treatment between people of different social groups. Parents often threaten their children when they do not study, telling them that they may become future roadsweepers or toilet cleaners. Children, being young and impressionable, would naively believe these threats and have the desire not to be a "low class" person but rather someone with a high social status. By subtly mocking others who are less fortunate, elitists who are either rich or educated draw a clear line between them and the poor or less educated. Society consequently gets segregated and the rich-poor gap widens. In certain countries, this problem may balloon resulting in riots and protests, causing societal instability.

But perhaps the most pervasive and widespread effect of elitism is the looking down of the non-elite. Elitists generally are warmly accepted in society as they are of a certain value however non-elitists are not treated the same way. Seen as being weak and helpless, others would then take advantage of this and make use of them. This stereotype results in the non-elite losing confidence in themselves, blaming their lack of ability as the cause for their downfall. As a result, this stereotype could shortchange society of many potential prodigies, who were not taken seriously due to their lack of present skill.

Elitism also causes the elite to be less satisfied with themselves. Through the never ending want to be better than others, the elite would constantly try to upgrade themselves in order to surpass the rest. While this may seem beneficial to the individual, acquiring knowledge and wealth to better his life, the entire process may prove detrimental resulting in escalated amounts of stress and unhappiness as a result of attempting to be superior. Thus, by trying to satisfy the elitist's want to be better than others, they risk adding undue amounts of pressure on themselves.

So now what?

In order for elitism to beneficial and not harmful to the elite, society must first be able to accept one another's differences and use these differences to benefit each other. Through diversity, understanding and feeling for others who are less fortunate or are not elite would allow everyone to be able to be able to live harmoniously without having to feel inferior to another. Despite this posing to be a seemingly difficult scenario, so long as the elite are willing to foster new bonds with the non-elite, the gap between these two social groups would be shrunk. Elitists too have to form their boundaries and know their limits to how elite they should be and compete only in moderation. This would prevent elitists from being compulsive yet at the same time encouraging friendly and healthy competition. Therefore, there is no harm in elitism unless it is inappropriately used.

Library Outing

2010-12-01T08:44:00.004+08:00

So I met up with Zach at 10 at Marine Parade Library. As usual, he cycled there and came over all sweaty but nonetheless, he still made it on time. Somehow regardless of how much you miss a person, you'll never ever tell him you do straight in front of him

Lucky for us, we found a nice spot at the third floor of the library. Unluckily, we did not get a spot close to a vacant power source. This spelt trouble as we searched high and low for the next power source. Why must NLB attach covers to existing power sources, making the few remaining ones so scarce? Oh well, it must be one of those lousy "go green" campaigns again. Seriously, what's new.

Just as about we were about to study, Zach's friend came along. First impressions last and he really resembled my former form teacher, Mr Thiru, just that he was a lot hairier. In case you haven't realised, Zach had set me up for this "blind date" with his friend who I am not the least bit familiar with.

Like all "study sessions", we started talking. First about physics, then maths, then economics, then... you get the point? But as I took out my laptop to get down to serious business, he was still rattling on with Renesh. I personally would not have minded their conversation if not for a man with the word security stamped at the back of his shirt wasn't hovering around our area.

Soon, after they had enough chit chat, they got down to work. But good things never last long. Zach took out a deck of cards, Pokemon I think, and cheekily asked

Zach: Did you bring your cards?

Renesh: No, What the... I thought we came here to study?

Suddenly, something told me that Zach's friend was someone different, someone willing to shoulder responsibility despite the horrible influence Zach was being yesterday.

This gut instinct of Renesh was disproved within the next minute as he flashed out his mobile phone to start playing some game, probably pokemon perhaps...

His spirit was strong but his ~~fats~~ flesh was weak

Okay, so we got really tired of the library and decided to go out for lunch at 1 to the nearby Parkway Parade, a place where I used to frequent during my VS days... *teary eyes*. Being the irresponsible teenagers we were, we left all our not-so-valuable stuff on the tables to "chope" our seats while taking our valubles along with us. Technically we didn't break any rules because we didn't leave any valuables behind. It was indeed a pleasant feeling to bask under the sun while walking there after sitting in a chilly air-conditioned building for nearly three hours as we started talking about random things under the sun.

We finally decided on eating Macs (spell it backwards, joke!) and things got a little funny there. Zach decided to conveniently leave the two of us alone while he went to the toilet. To prevent further awkwardness, both he and I whipped out our mobile phones in a pathetic attempt to act that we were genuinely busy socializing with others by pressing buttons on our phones to "communicate" with others.

If you hadn't realised, Macs (spell it backwards, again) has reused one of its old gimmicks to attract more ~~victims~~ customers, the amalgamation of Monopoly and Macs. Being the typical kiasu Singaporean I am, I decided to upsize my meal to get more coupons in an attempt to actually win something. Previously, I have won nothing spectacular but a plain old sausage mcmuffin. As expected, all four coupons were "property cards" meant for collection. Zach and Renesh however, weren't as unlucky as they each won a 1 for 1 Singapore flyer voucher. Not that that was anything impressive, but at least it beat strips of card with words with no meaning on it.

The rest of the afternoon was rather uneventful with me trying to focus by listening to the radio while studying, muting the live distraction in front of me.

Maybe its this very sense of nostalgia of studying I miss so very much, oh well, sometimes company really matters.

By the way, I'm going to Keith's house with Leuven to study... Right, who am I trying to kid. We're probably going to side track and play pool. I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow if not we'll get trapped in his house until 8 like the last time -_-"

It has been about a year since I've blogged, so hopefully I'll continue updating this blog, even if no one reads it.

Sometimes, I wonder why man presents himself problems when he can solve it by acting responsibly in the first place.

Its late and I can't think of anything better to write, so pray hard for my next post. JUST KIDDING =D

Random Thought

2009-04-28T21:09:00.003+08:00

Juz wondering, would any (kind) soul read my blog if i were to revive it??? =)

2008-08-13T16:42:00.002+08:00

I came 2 school 2dae at around 6.40. As usual, i decided to take the lift as i was way tooo lethargic to climb up 6 flights of stairs. Just as i got in, this short pants guy came... I thought 2 myself "His class is oni on the 4th floor and he is taking the lift?" It kindof pissed me off lor. Rawr.

Physics was kindof boring. We did some dumb practise paper which was pretty hard (Hmm, for me at least!) Aw Yong, the lazy slob, asked reg no. 39-15 to go write their answers on the board. Jordan as usual wrote like a 100 word essay for a 3 mark PHYSICS question. No1 was listening to Aw Yong speak and he got realli pissed, it went like tat.

Aw Yong: *stares angrily at Si Hao(dunno why)*"I'm bloody trying to teach u physics here"
Si Hao: *veri blur look*
Aw Yong: "I'm goin 2 throw the marker at u *pauses* even if it flies out of the window!". Loled at wad he said.

During maths, since no 1 was listening to WLM, we started cracking ms lim jokes (btw, she is a teacher with a plastic or glass eye...)

Q. Why is ms lim a bad teacher?
A. Cause she has oni one pupil (hahaha)

Q. Wad class does ms lim hate
A. 2I(lolol)

During chem, quek was asking me why i din take lit. So i shouted "Why lit(wai lit, chem teacher's name)!". O shit, got myself in deep deep trouble. Stupid quek larh.

Can't blog anymore cause mum yelling and brother is standing beside me waiting to hog the com. Byes!

W0NG L1 M3Ng

2008-08-12T16:08:00.004+08:00

Wow, one wk since i last touched the keyboard to blog. O well, nth exciting happened 2dae

WLM came into class and started talking about trigonometric graphs. Somehow Herman could actually understand wad she was blabbering about and i didn't. Lol. Somehow for no rhyme of reason, WLM became dam pissy (because she was talking about "periods") and started scolding the class. Krishen, the unlucky victim, was targeted and got told off by her. It went something like this

WLM: Krishen, i'm goin 2 call ur mum now

Krishen: WAD?

WLM: Yes Krishen, take out ur handphone and call ur mum now

Krishen: *stutters* No, ma'am, i was trying 2 ask u a question

WLM:*Taos him and stretches her hand out to grab krishen's phone to call his mum*

Whole class: *Silent*

Ok, so after tat no1 dared to talk(duh). She started scolding us again... Pointing out the nuisances in our class. Wei ron, DARYL(yes, i 2 have 2 agree!) and Lewis.(???)

Raphie had 2 leave early for oral so we had like an hr of free time. Played chinese chess with raplh, wei lun (i mention ur name oredi ar!), ason and qq(qi quan). Lol, i nearly shaved ralph botak. Hahaz.

I'm realli glad 2morrow chinese will be cut short due 2 SS exam.

2008-08-05T17:13:00.005+08:00

Weee, it was a realli exciting day 2dae cause there was PE!!!. Half the class was playing floor ball and the other half playing soccer. Naturally, i took to using a stick than rather my clumsy feet. It was like Jason, Bjorn and me VS Kin tuck, Wee bian and er, some1 else =X. We owned in the first game, beating them 9-1. Somehow all the goals were scored by Jason. Lol. I got lucky in the second game and scored like 2 goals against them.
The next period was history and thiru came into the class looking rather annoyed cause he got ticked of by mr maran for releasing us early. Pee Youfff, is letting us off for early recess a crime? O well, i shouldn't elaborate any further cause it is quite evident on Jordan's blog. Haha. We didn't continue watching hotel rwanda but we were watching some other video about the Jewish prosecution. OK now for the sick bit. Everyone was stunned when we saw (on the movie!) 2 Nazi soldiers throw a man on his wheelchair off his balcony which was 4 storeys high. Tat truly gave me the creeps.
Nothing much about recess though. Had a maths "test" (in inverted commas cause WLM was helping us with all the questions). English was rather boring too cause we did oni a compre on china. haha.
Quek, Weebian and I had 2 stay back for oral. I had half an hr 2 burn so i was walking aimlessly around the whole school. When i stepped into the library i saw this

Haha. It doesn't even make sense la. Rather self-explainitory though after seeing who wrote it. Must as well say dun read in the library or dun pee in thee toilet. -_-". Anyway it realli made my day!

I met up with wee bian and quek outside the HOD office. I was forced by both of them to call Mdm Ho to ask her about our oral. Before that, wee bian was having pre-oral blues and was asking

"Can we 3 oral 2gether"

"No tat sounds realli wrong"

Trust quek to pollute that sentence. Darn, both quek and wee bian were fighting over who was to go first so naturally i became last. So much for all the sai kang. During the oral, i realli felt uneasy when the mike was placed in front of me. Rather creepy, like i was giving some speech or something. O well, at least Mdm Ow was rather nice and empathised with me.

Back home, i was sitting with timotty on the bus. He was talking about double dating some gurl(I shall not say hu!)

So why not u take the test!

No.1 If u wanna ask a gal out for a date wad would u say?
No.2 Would you bring a flower/flowers?
No.3 What if she wanted it to be a "hang out" session instead of a date?
No.4 Where would u bring her out to? (pls no dirty thoughts)
No.5 What if she ignored you completely?
No.6 Would you ask her out for another date?

As you can imagine, he was giving all the weird answers. O well, i guess i'm probably either 2 romantic (gosh, i'm boasting!) or he's 2 serious (maybe lor)

Hope you can tag after reading. Thx

Speech Dae!!!

2008-08-04T16:24:00.004+08:00

Ok, I couldn't realli blog on Saturday so I'm doin it now. SPEECG DAE!!!(dunno why i'm so excited.)

So here goes, the BB boys were SUPPOSED to report to school at 1.15 but timotty wanted us to be there by 12.30. And guess wad, he wasn't even there until 1. ZZZ. Claimed he was at KFC wif saba n jek-kai. Anyway, we were all in the auditorium shining our boots with bok chong's kiwi and alwin's water bottle. IT WAS CHAOTIC.

"pass the kiwi here".

"Screw you, tats my bottle larh".

"Oi why u splash the water here?"

Ok, i tink u roughly get the picture. So, we gathered beside the hostel at 3. Ian was trying to boost our morale by trying, yes TRYING, to be funny. "If some1 faints, we must all faint 2gether. If someone marches with his butt shaking, we must also follow." Brr, even though the sun was shining, i somewhat felt cold. O yeah, he cracked officer herman's joke. "If you see a pretty girl continue looking straight, u dun look, i look 4 u." Outdated eh? Btw the joke was told a year ago...

So the thing started and there weren't any major screw ups until the marching off. A gust of wind started blowing out flags and they covered our eyes making it realli hard for us to march. After the whole thing, we went to the hostel canteen 2 eat, and guess who i saw, DING ni. Wakaka. The first thing alwin did when he saw her was tell her that he 4got to hand in last yr's hw. LOL.

The whole darn thing ended at 5 and i had 2 emo on the bus cause no1 else was taking the 43. Sobs. To sum it up, speech day "is the only day ms sheika (correct spelling?) wears a skirt" [from timotty].

Revived again

2008-08-01T19:31:00.002+08:00

Ok, i finally managed to fix this dumb blog. Hmmph, a pity no "ah long" like themes which i could use so i used this 1 instead. Looks kindof emo by the way. Haha.

My day today was realli cool, our class spent 3 whole periods of geog just counting waves at east coast park, o trust ron tan =P. We like took 15 minutes to walk to the beach cause everyone was dwadelling except for ron tan (haha, enthu kia!). We were counting the number of waves in a minute and taking photos of ron tan in the sea getting wet. Cause no one was realli interested, we spent the next half an hour slacking around and buying drinks from the hawker centre. While queueing up, arr b (aka bjorn) was yelling "Wah lau, there is bird shit on my pants!!! It was what jon had described a radioactive greenish blob of shit which somewhat looked like kaya. Arr b was not the only one, tay wei ron sat on brown shit which he claimed was mud...

O well, what an eventful day. Hope that there would be cool weather for tomorrow's speech day and the GOH wun b late =P. Remember to tag and link me =D

Ok, this is me after my "Redo". Ok wadeva.

On saturday my family decided to go to ikea (YAY!) so i tagged along, mainly because of the ikea meat balls (yumm...) O well. We looked around and i took some random shots of things there.

Somewhere down the alley (alley? lol)
Some fanciful light (reminds me of my DNT projects)
YUM, IKEA FOOD!!!!

Changed my skin

2008-01-25T14:12:00.000+08:00

Wee. Today went even better than i had expected.

Firstly. HALF DAY. No 1 could concentrate during chinese lesson (xD). Every1 waiting for the 9.00am bell to ring. Every1 but chia was having a good time. I think he kindof hated it cause he couldn't blow his whistle.

Secondly, i got my new specs (YAY!). It was regtangular ( not like my round 1s) and i looked quite queer. O well. Now you guys cant call me roundie, ball etc...

Ecstatic

2008-01-24T20:14:00.000+08:00

Yup. The one and only word to describe my physics teacher. Ecstatic

Nothing beats the way he entertains us with his everyday "live" performance and making a fool out of himself... Don't believe me? Ask any1 in 3C, and u wished u didn't even ask.

Slack. Another good word to describe my history teacher.

Mr thiru has thought us only 1 lesson this pass 1 month. Yes? Can't believe either huh. I really wonder what he meant when "70% of the sec4s 2007 got distinction" with him teaching. xD I'm praying he'll wake up and start teaching us properly.

Week1: Spent 2 whole periods just writing down every body's parents email
Week 2: Tipusam
Week 3: Gave report books to general office
Week 4: (Now,) Tried solving a Rubik's cube

Boerd

2008-01-22T15:17:00.000+08:00

Boerd

The one and only word to describe the last 2 periods of today.

Maths and Geography.

Trying ever so hard not to dose off, Mrs Wong and Mr Tan were talking endlessly trying their very best to bore all the students out.

But, life wasn't that bad. Earlier in the morning, timotty was teaching louis how to solve the rubik's cube. I seriously thought that it was far harder solving that than a logarithm question. (xD)

Recess was fun. Eugene (class monitor) pissed a prefect off and the prefect's faced blushed bright red as he scolded him. Eugene gave his "blur" look which made the prefect retreat unwillingly.

Also, when I was on the 55, Leroy was emo-ing. Beats me. Mirza told me that he "didn't like crowded buses" so I couldn't believe it until he got off a single deck 55 when he saw another 55 double deck go pass in the opposite direction. Weird huh...

First Day in School

2008-01-02T16:33:00.000+08:00
