Impermanence

I used to feel so much warmth from EP, IG... The family I had there once meant the world to me. I can't seem to find the feeling anywhere anymore. Maybe, things just pass. The world works like that. Good feelings will always go away in the end - there is no point having too much hope in it lasting. Nothing lasts. This reminds me of the Black and White guards of Impermanence. Life isn't permanent either.

What is consciousness exactly. Is it just an illusion? Or what? Is it a tangible matter? Now I have read a lot on philosophy, psychology and metaphysics, all the different theories and concepts seemed to have jumbled up in my brain.

Sigh

Remembering Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Our Founding Father

Remembering Mr Lee Kuan Yew, Our Founding Father

schools honouring Mr Lee

As Monday, 23 March 2015 dawns, Singapore in thrust into a state of grief and sorrow as all over the country, Singaporeans mourn the loss of our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Dr Hang, our Principal, started off the morning assembly with a speech regarding the passing of Mr Lee. Unusually silent, the school stood still and quiet as Dr Hang spoke. In the eyes of all Singaporeans, Mr Lee was a respectable man of resilience who led our nation to what we are today. Without him, Singapore would probably be a island of hardship. When we were expelled from Malaysia, we had literally NOTHING. No natural resources, no manpower... low quality of education etc... ( sorry if i got anything wrong, I'm very, very ashamed to say that I do not, sometimes, pay attention in History class ) It was Mr Lee, who step by step, led us to modern Singapore.

Many of us take what Singapore has today for granted. Not every country has such clean streets. Not in every country can you see beautiful stretches of green lawn. The trees lining the road. Not every country provides education to all children. Not every country has clean water drinkable right from the tap.

The flag is flown at half-mast today. After the singing of the national anthem and taking the pledge, one minute of silence is observed as the school reflects on the life and contributions of Mr Lee to our nation.





Don't worry, Mr Lee! You might no longer exist physically but you, your spirit... Everything, will exist forever in all Singaporeans' hearts. Your legacy will live on. Singaporean children will be learning about you in history. How you have been an excellent leader and pioneer. How much energy you dedicated to Singapore. <Mr Lee's Red Box> This. Is how much Mr Lee did for us. I nearly cried reading.



You've worked hard, Mr Lee.

Ya shoulda have a good rest. Don't worry about us :) We will not let you down.

One thing for sure - You'll be terribly missed by all.

Homework, Homework and Homework

I shouldn't actually be complaining since I chose to come to NUS High ( and it's probably like this in every other school just that they ain't half as bad ) BUT still, it's human nature hence I have to rant a bit. It's the March holidays!!! You probably think I'd be off on a vacation or in the cinemas enjoying myself. Alas, you're utterly wrong! Instead, I'm confined the chair in front of my desk trying to finish up homework by the truckloads and get some revision done for the oncoming term, which teachers have warned won't be the least bit pleasant.

Above is my yucky Chemistry schedule for Term 2 D:

And that's ONLY Chemistry. Don't forget Japanese ( Yes, there are exams for third language ), Mathematical Olympiad, ( and yes, there are exams for Math Olympiad too ), Physics, Biology, Chinese, Math ( how can I forget that ) and English!!! God bless there isn't exams for Humanities. ( Compensating for that we have a bunch more of tests and projects for continual acessment )

all our modules

It'd be too exaggerating to say that I won't be able to survive all this but seriously, I feel like dropping dead on the spot whenever I think of this, which is, unfortunately, once every few minutes. Right now I'm struggling with Chemistry revision alongside with family crap.

Hold on a minute while I organize and analyse my homework.

 So it seems that I'm left with a stupid Math project, a MO assignment, Chemistry workbook and self-study IT worksheet and revision for the various subjects.

 ARGHHH

 Regarding the Math project, I wonder if any of you reading this can bother to help me out a bit? I'd be doing Pierre de Fermat and his famous Fermat's Last Theorem, which I'm not that familiar with and I need some help to come out with a worked example and solution ( that's the requirements for my project but frankly speaking I have no freaking idea how to come up with a worked example for FERMAT'S LAST THEOREM ).

 Any kind soul out there? Probably not.

Never mind, I'll just have to sort it out myself then.

Come one let's walk hand in hand on the highway to Hell

Come on let's walk hand in hand on the highway to Hell!

Does anyone want to hold my hand and accompany me on my journey?

I bet not. But that's al right. I would prefer to be alone. You know it. I'm a sociopath. Hehe I don't care. I'm a moron. I guess I inherited that from my parents. I've never seen anyone who can be as horrible as them.

Ewww. I can't believe I'm so bad :(

I really think my parents are horrible though.

I don't want to be with them :(

Take me away.
