Life is never boring. We learn something new everyday. Just like today, a realisation striked me. I had never found myself as dumb as today. Why hadn't I realised that earlier?
Phy Lesson (16 Aug )
Mr Blunden's joke (note..if you are an epping boy..dun be offended by it..it is only a joke)
On the Big Night Out, our physics teacher, Bundan, was one of the Cheltenham representatives. One of the Epping boys questioned him:
"Didn't you use to go to Epping Boys?"
"Err...yeah.." Mr Blunden replied, suspicious of what was to come.
"Why are you on the Cheltenham's side?" the boys advanced in his questions.
"Well..." Mr Blunden paused, " Coz i started at the bottom and have now worked my way up "
Sorry not a very good joke. It was the way he recounted it in phy which had made us all laugh. Most surprisingly, he was for the very first lesson in the yr able to teach us something apart from his jokes.
Maestro extract
As I rose from the bed, the sun broke below the heaving clouds: a rare, golden light drenching, saturating the town. Always these deft, elemental touches move me: light breaking throughh clouds, rain spattering on roofs, pink sunsets. As I gazed across the town I was overcome by nostalgia ... and regret that I had not taken more notice, kept a better record of those beautiful years. Never again will time move as slowly as it did then, and never again would there be so much to be discovered, to be touched and tasted for the first time.
And now it was too late: once we begin to sense our childhoods, we are no longer children. And decisions have been made -- by omission, neglect, inertia --that cannot be unmade. (pg 149)
(This is infact the two paragraphs before the last extract. )
How best should I sum up this week? It was fairly..stressful? or busy? It was hard to get into the study habit again. It had been so long since the half yrly.
I rewrote my eng essay..rewrote and rewrote..still don't like it. Hey! (for those of you who have read maestro) Isn't this one of the themes?
Tykani,...thx for notes ..copying etc....Good luck with your site. Wonder if i can have a look at your group work.
Dammit...what will our lunch time be like next yr? Looks like we really won't see each other much. Today,...I stayed the the lib. I was going to revise my chem. But, i ended up reading The Farseekers.
Haha..one day, i will find out who kitty is.
yep, sam. thx. I know. There are so many people who care. In many ways, i am lucky.
Some people in my chem class are planning to change to Mr Scolley's class. Well...i considered it too..But, nah, better to stick with a responsible teacher who does not have a deep knowledge than..a more experienced teacher who doesn't even bother to mark class test.
It was in fact...to be honest a fairly dull week. There is this problem between Oli and i again, pong. I didn't want to talk to her ...coz..all that comes out was so....'insincere'...pretence. Bet you are not looking at this, oli. Anyway, this will pass..it always does.
