so what if you didn't? (this is regarding not getting into UWC thanks to the MOE's restricting policies stating that Singaporeans who have received/were granted prior permission to study in an International school, cannot/will not be allowed to receive said permission for a second time)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:28:47 PM)

--Bats Jr.-- a.k.a.Feedback boy. 213. M PaP-->my favorite lyricist says: (10:28:51 PM)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:29:05 PM)

--Bats Jr.-- a.k.a.Feedback boy. 213. M PaP-->my favorite lyricist says: (10:29:15 PM)
and you are saving so much on school so your parents will have more money for your uni (undeniable fact)

THIS IS WHERE I CONTINUE TALKING TO SNAKES AND LADDERS (I.E NAVJOTE):

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:30:23 PM)
and i do not agree with the smarter than everyone in my class

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:30:25 PM)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:30:26 PM)

snakes and ladders says: (10:30:54 PM)

snakes and ladders says: (10:31:05 PM)

snakes and ladders says: (10:31:19 PM)
why're you studying? is it why most ppl do, to just get a grade

snakes and ladders says: (10:31:25 PM)
or do you genuinely enjoy what you're doing

snakes and ladders says: (10:31:34 PM)
do you like reading the lit texts you've got

snakes and ladders says: (10:31:37 PM)
the history you're studying

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:31:53 PM)
i've never really asked myself that

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:32:07 PM)
i seem to do it just to get good grades. i like history. and bio. usually

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:32:10 PM)
so i do that cuz i want to

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:32:11 PM)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:32:13 PM)
cuz i wanna do well

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:32:23 PM)
english i don't like most of the books she's prescribed

snakes and ladders says: (10:32:23 PM)
yea

snakes and ladders says: (10:32:25 PM)
and then its fun

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:32:27 PM)
it's gonna be a chore

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:32:30 PM)
sometimes it's a chore

snakes and ladders says: (10:32:40 PM)
haha, doing books you dont like its a chore?

snakes and ladders says: (10:32:43 PM)
no its fun actually

snakes and ladders says: (10:32:48 PM)
pointing out how stupid they are (that is so true!)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:33:22 PM)
haha a body looks nice
Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:33:26 PM)
before you dissect it (to quote a bitch who once said it to me)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:33:31 PM)
similarly

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:33:51 PM)
a book is only so good until the point comes where you have to delve deeper than deep into it

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:34:03 PM)
even beyond the mind of the author

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:34:10 PM)
and what he might have actually been thinking

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:34:11 PM)
or not thinking at all

snakes and ladders says: (10:34:15 PM)
no no no no, i thought that too, actually its really fun!

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:34:29 PM)
i wish i had as positive an outlook as you do/did

snakes and ladders says: (10:34:29 PM)
coz if you think about it, you're making commentary about human life, human behaviour

snakes and ladders says: (10:34:33 PM)
thats really interesting

snakes and ladders says: (10:34:38 PM)
nah its simple

snakes and ladders says: (10:34:51 PM)
think about the power you have when you go through a book

snakes and ladders says: (10:34:59 PM)
you're saying this is what ppl are like

snakes and ladders says: (10:35:00 PM)
this is what they do

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:36:19 PM)
that's true

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:36:34 PM)
but i reckon it is more torturous than pleasurable

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:36:38 PM)
mostly

snakes and ladders says: (10:36:41 PM)
haha why!

snakes and ladders says: (10:36:48 PM)
if you take it at a good pace

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:36:53 PM)
i am making an assumption

snakes and ladders says: (10:36:54 PM)
discuss it, have fun criticising it

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:36:56 PM)
i am pessimistic

snakes and ladders says: (10:37:01 PM)
its more fun than you think it will be :)

snakes and ladders says: (10:37:12 PM)
you musn't be afraid to be an academic nerd

snakes and ladders says: (10:37:17 PM)
and by that i dont mean one who studies all the time

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:37:19 PM)
i'm not at all

snakes and ladders says: (10:37:23 PM)
i mean one who enjoys what you do

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:37:24 PM)
i want to go to a good university

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:37:32 PM)
and i want to pursue a challenging field

snakes and ladders says: (10:37:38 PM)
a real nerds one who loves his work, who relates it to everything

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:37:40 PM)
so i can't sit around bumming and complaining, i know that (this is where we are both talking about completely different things but what Navjote said is very agreeable to)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:37:45 PM)
but i am also being realistic

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:37:52 PM)
i agree totally (finally acknowledges - SORRY NAVJOTE!)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:38:02 PM)
but you know, there is always a dark side to everything (This is the point i become too Sith-ish)

snakes and ladders says: (10:38:21 PM)
yea i know haha (its my job to be optimistic i cant tell you its gonna suck or you'll really think it does!!)

snakes and ladders says: (10:38:31 PM)
haha its gonna be hard hard work!! (No duh!)

snakes and ladders says: (10:38:38 PM)
but it doesnt need to be hell

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:38:46 PM)
haha that's true

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:38:49 PM)
i am saying

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:38:57 PM)
it is a good/bad/whatever balance of both

snakes and ladders says: (10:39:08 PM)
always is :)

snakes and ladders says: (10:39:17 PM)
good wldn't be good without bad

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:39:21 PM)
true true

THEN WE GO TOTALLY OFF-POINT:

snakes and ladders says: (10:39:49 PM)
Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-cultural country that sits in/at? the heart of Asia.

snakes and ladders says: (10:39:53 PM)

snakes and ladders says: (10:40:00 PM)

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:52:33 PM)
is a better word

Maya - You once revered me, exalted me...and now, you castigate me. says: (10:52:44 PM)
situated in.

Sooo let's get on with talking about my day.

IN A NOT-QUITE-NUTSHELL:

9.30 am - I wake up
11 am - A time (Not everyone needs to know)
1pm - Leave for School (I left late because I only had one test - French)
1.45 - 2.15 - I do the test and finish early. Only to later realise I had left out 18 marks and the VP didn't allow the 3 of us geniiii to do it though we had time to spare. Bastard.
3.45 - 4.45 - Dean of University of British Columbia talks to us about it (The University, obviously)
5pm - Arrive at NLB for Volunteer work and David Davidar Book-Reading
8.30 - Arrive home and head the the Optician to purchase my Monthly Contact Lens and get a new case and look at pretty perspective new spectacles with pretty flowery design on the side
9 - Dinner and TV
10.30 - IM-ing, Facebook, E-mail, Magazine
11 - Bath! FINALLY.

ALSO, I am very upset with the lack of purple-ness in my hair despite applying quite a bit of Cassis Purple Hairdye last night. I shall do it again a little more meticulously and this time I will actually use up the entire contents of the bottle(s). And with the help of someone (Anna).

AND I decided to increase the font-size after late-realisation ("finally" you must all be thinking) that my font-size is painfully small and people must be getting the idea that I'm trying to make their eyesight as bad as mine - SO SORRY ABOUT THAT!

AND FYI. I WROTE THE LYRICS OF THAT SONG/THINGAMAJIGJIG IN THE PREVIOUS POST, JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING.
