} even when your hope is gone

the other day yajie told me that my blog sounded very COMMUNIST because of all my self-reminders to WORK HARD. haha. in case you were wondering, it didnt happen. i havent been working any harder. when the time comes, i will do it, but for now i will stay in lalaland... 8)

today we met our new gp teacher, mr soh. he is very old. and small. so imagine my surprise when i found out that he is not the small quiet old man i thought he would be, cos HE CANT SEEM TO STOP TALKING. WTH.

imagine this. you are in a gp class, your teacher walks in, and starts talking about working hard and putting your heart and soul into your studies so you can get a scholarship. then he starts talking about the different scholarships that you can get, but oh of course the best one is the president scholarship, etc etc.

and then he somehow goes on to talk about gp, and the application question, so you THINK he is finally getting back on track. but NOOOO oh no, he suddenly asks 'do you know why you have to do the AQ?' and oh surprise surprise, its about scholars again, who werent able to think and speak their minds. so now they develop the application question to help us to THINK. right. anyway. so he goes on about the scholarships and the government positions again and how you can go high up if you study hard...

so then FINALLY he gets to the real lesson, and he tells you about the passage you need to read. but oh no before you can even read he takes another 20 mins talking about his own view on the topic. and does the same AFTER you've read the passage. and afterwards he tells off the class for not bringing up our opinions BUT he goes on anyway.

its like he really loves hearing his own voice or something. which he probably does i think.

and THEN, right when it was lunch time, just as he was about to dismiss us, one person asked a question and he had to take 10 mins just to answer it. (most of his answer wasnt relevant.)

so can you imagine how my gp class is like now? good. you just wasted 5 mins of your life.

and throughout the whole 1hr 40 mins i just wanted to GRAB him and SHAKE him and tell him 'STOP TALKING. DAMN IT, JUST STOP.' but of course i cant do that cos he is too small and old.

btw, yes he is a total ministry lapdog, not surprising since he used to work there as a policymaker. (he even told us that lee kuan yew used to be his idol...) he is the reason for students' suffering. yet another reason why he deserves to be told to SHUT UP BLOODY STOP TALKING.

hahaha. i guess its actually funny if i dont think so much about how irritating it is.

well i was going to blog some more about how school is really starting to suck a lot but i realise that theres already a lot of negativity around cos everyone is so damn stressed out. so i will just keep that to myself and just post a song which i hope will bring some cheer / inspiration / encouragement to you all.

move along - all-american rejects

go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
when you fall everyone sins
another day and you've had your fill of sinking
with the life held in your
hands are shaking cold
these hands are meant to hold

speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
move along, move along, like i know you do
and even when your hope is gone
move along, move along just to make it through
move along
move along

so a day when you've lost yourself completely
could be a night when your life ends
such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
all the pain held in your
hands are shaking cold
your hands are mine to hold

speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
move along, move along like i know you do
and even when your hope is gone
move along, move along just to make it through
move along
go on, go on, go on, go on

when everything is wrong we move along
go on, go on, go on, go on
when everything is wrong we move along
along, along, along

when all you got to keep is strong
move along, move along like i know you do
and even when your hope is gone
move along, move along just to make it through

move along
go on, go on, go on, go on
right back what is wrong
we move along
