![]() 1s20 is the best academic class in srjc... thats what i heard... well, i guess i am not the one whom contributed to this achievement. as i look at my results, i am really worried for next year, what if i do not make it for A levels? then all my dreams will be down to nothing. goodness... well, thanks for joa's encouragement... theres still 2 months for me to catch up with the rest. i will try, be positive, to believe in myself, be optimistic and confident. that is what a pilot need to do. as taken from the movie top gun : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Viper: In case some of you are wondering who the best is they are up here on this plaque. [turns to Maverick] Viper: Do you think your name will be on that plaque? Maverick: Yes sir. Viper: That's pretty arrogant, considering the company you're in. Maverick: Yes sir. Viper: I like that in a pilot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- confidence; easier said than done. at least for now, my school has allowed me to fly. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am finally able to catch up with my course mates already... but i will be way behind again... so i need to push myself more, i need to prove to myself that i can do it, that i am going to be a fighter pilot the next time. perhaps i am being too arrogant... well... as i was talking the bus home from school today, i have come to a very negative conclusion on singaporeans today, not everybody, but the elderly... i was at the school's bus stop when bus 153 came. there was many people there, especially the elderly. so when the bus came to a stop, i allowed the people to go in front of me... i was already the last person to board the bus, but as you guys might experience, especially in singapore, people do not only board the bus from the front of the bus door, but also the sides of it. there was about 20 people at that moment, can you imagine the chaos that was going on? they say, the older you get, the wiser you become... well not for this old lady. before i could een step foot on the edge of the pavement of the bus stop, she pushed herself forward, BODY-BUTTED me to the side... you have heard of HEADBUTTS, not BODY-BUTTS correct? yea thats what she did, and another old lady, held me back with her hands and squeezed into the bus door... THE WHOLE "ORDEAL", I WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE BUS DOOR AT ALL... goodness... taking about being wise... instead of getting a seat, they went to stand at the bus door and blocked everyone... WOW. honestly, i cannot help but think about how singapore is heading with these people. perhaps they belong to the "older" generation where you might need to "fight to survive"? i find such behaviour very childish, especially so when you are supposed to be wise for a person of their age. as i made my way to the back of the bus, the two old ladies cursed as my bag NUDGED them. goodness. if you talk about respect, man, at least for today, my respect for the elderly has significantly dropped. i alighted and boarded the bus 139 back home, and i felt the pinch of reality, the brief "look" into the future, the whole bus had all its seats occupied, all its seats occupied with people aged 50 and above. talking about an ageing population... i was the only person that is 17 there... i am worried... really worried about my future as an working adult in singapore, can you imagine the pressure that we are going to face to support this ageing population? I AM NOT ANTI ELDERLY, I AM JUST WORRRIED ABOUT MY FUTURE AND PERHPAS, IF I GET MARRIED, MY CHILDREN'S FUTURE... once again, i am thinking too much again... i think. my mother was very random yesterday, she was reading the papers as i spent some time talking to her. guess what, she went to dig up some old newspaper and told me to read an article that talks about the feeling of a parent's feelings. to cut the long story short, they have an unfilial son that listens to his wife so much, that he disowns his own parents, and heck them. but treats his wife's parents as if they were his own. then my mother, looked at me with those bloodshot eyes... said... "you better not bring home a wife that is like this, later i get disowned by you" i paused, looked at her, and said " the problem that lies with your son now is not whether he brings home the correct wife and daughter in law, but whether he can find a girlfriend first..." my mom, looked at me... and went back to read the papers... i do not understand the reason for such a gesture... well... thats my mom... i think i am falling...in... please tag!
