terrible start to the day.
honestly hate cnm, dunno why i stick with it. guess im just hoping that ill finally take one cnm mod that i'd really really like. unfortunately, that has yet to happen. lol. but i'd just like to say thanks to everyone out there who checked up on me and offered to meet up etc while i was moping about like a depressed gremlin. loll. you know who you are. (: am extremely grateful to have friends like you guys and if i had my way, i'd buy you all mansions and hire hot celebs - i.e. johnny depp for xy and ky (sorry must share lolll. okay nvm, xy can have david tennant instead), both guys from Flight of the Concords for jen, rach will have to make do with rjv (eventho hes not a hot celeb. LOL). thanks guys, spanks for everyone! (:
also, my stupid laptop has been shit to the max. this time the charger's acting up. terrible. have to go get it replaced, so until then im using my mums lappie. tuition tmr, have yet to prepare but at least ive bought the texts! hoorah. will be doing curious incident of the dog at night time, and off centre. seems pretty interesting, and i dread to put the kid through 2 singaporean texts. (not that there's anything wrong with sg lit, i just wish they'd chosen a slightly better selection or variety.) its quite depressing to head to the library only to realise that the "singapore collection" section is like.. 1 bookshelf of english books, and the rest are mainly old chinese magazines, etc. really horrible when there really are a handful of pretty good sgporean writers out there.
its no wonder so many sec sch kids keep saying they hate sg lit because they're mainly introduced to the texts which are somehow or another related to sg's history etc, so studying lit for them is the equivalent of reading a history textbook, albeit in a slightly more pleasant and/or complicated manner. what i'd like to see tested is something like.. i don't know.. cyril wong's poetry or something. lolll. that would be pretty interesting. stuff they could relate to you know. ah well. i mean appreciating sg lit is one thing, and eventually, they would come to accept the more chunkier stuff, but when you first introduce them to sg lit, you've gotta show them why the writing is applicable now, stuff a kid in sec sch would like and relate to. (okay am repeating myself, nevermind.)
like i remember in sec sch, someone once commented that we were lucky that they spared us from doing the sg lit texts for olevels. (we did an anthology of poetry from Britain/US and an arthur miller play) its kinda sad i guess, and i long to see the day pupils actually cheer (okay maybe not that level of enthusiasm lol) when they learn they're gonna be studying a text by a sg author.
on that note, i'm happy to say i'm finally getting into the groove of writing again. lollll. well, trying at least. must complete that bloody novel by end of next yr. havent been working on it, mainly just drabbles and random bouts of poetry. eventually must stop writing slightly perverse stuff. felt a little embarassed asking my grandpa to read through the last collection of poems i had because of the slightly erm.. mature content. okay they're not that perverted, i dont write porn (although i must say some porn lit - eh what are those called huh?) are quite creative. LOLLL. NOT THAT I'VE BEEN READING THAT KINDA STUFF LAHH. but i once casually browsed through. just outta curiosity of course. LOLLLL. (so defensive.) anyway, it was just a little disturbing so i just handed him the poems and was like -okay! just call me once you've read them! loll, terrible. honestly am not a pervert (yes, i can see some of you giving me the raised eyebrows right now, xy is prob raising both of hers) lollll. i just think.. some stuff.. well. okay nevermind. why am i babbling.
alritey. wooh long post today. i know some of you are going through rough spells, but hang in there yea. if ya wanna talk or anything, am here (omg i hope there aren't any creeps reading this), and you know where to find me - (yes, usual hiding place or online loll. so fail.) okay taaa! (:
