perhaps you never really knew me at all. today is officially the last day of being a secondary 3 student. when i reflect,it has been an eventful and turmultaneous (howdaya spell it?)year. next year we shall have to put aside all our slacky tendencies and strive on for our O'levels. indeed,it won't be smooth sailing ahead but we will get there in the end. oh boy. i am starting to sound physco.better stop. today we got back our report books. i guess my results are ok but not satisfactory. arrgh!james beat me. he was 6th in class. we'll be seeing him next year for sure. washed the dirtiest toilet in the whole school for the clean-up today. we hadta mop the toilet floor with soap, then mop with water,then flood the toilet and use this weird thing to guide the waters to the drain.ahh... draining the toilet. these few days its been nothing but thunderstorms. lightning flashes and thunder... thunders? when i was a young girl i couldn't differentiate between the two. earlier this year,i was conversing with florence when she ENLIGHTENED me. or rather,she woke upa part of my brain that was in a deep slumber. listen:when lightning strikes, it takes some time for thunder to sound. this is because SOUND TAKES THIME TO TRAVEL. even though the speed of sound is like WHOA fast. i know you all must probably be going d-oh!! wasn't i listening during physics? but my physics suck and i have to go back for remedial during the hoildays.*weeps.* but anyway,some food for thought. so: the longer it takes for thunder to sound,the farther away from you it is. that's a useful survivor skill. but its just a thought... don't you go all duh on me. if i never shared this with you, would you have reached the same conclusion without prompting? ok.just a random thought. i don't think anyone named Jack reads my blog but no offense anyways. i think Jack is a rather unfortunate name. seriously. i mean, what with all those negative words/phrases which are pieced together with the word Jack. for instance, Jackas*, Jack-of-all-trades, Jack-in-the-box (the most annoying thing on earth.) sorry..just a random thought, sorry all you Jacks. geez,even that sounds kinda vulgar. ok peeps, gotta run.television. success is a journey, not a destination.
