ohyay

I absolutely have nothing to do, and here I am, sitting at home to rot.

Geez.

Spent the whole day doing nothing. There was one point in my life that would have grabbed this opportunity to do nothing with both hands, and teeth too, if need be, but now?

Damn, I make myself sound so ancient.

Okay, that point in my life was during the exams period. Practically every exams period. And no, in case you’re wondering, I’m not willing to switch this nothingness for mugging. Not for my life. I’m not that crazy.

The most memorable thing I remember doing today was cutting my hair. Right. Pathetic, isn’t it?

I was sure the hairdresser hacked off a fair bit of hair, but no, there isn’t much difference. I’m not going to tell you the procedure of how she cut my hair, as if this post isn’t boring as hell already.

Going to East Coast Park with Amelia, JiaWen and Pearlyn tomorrow. Whew. If not, I’ll probably be wasting the day away, like what I did today. I’m hoping it doesn’t rain, I like the sun. But life’s unpredictable, like the stupid weather pattern. You can’t tell when it’s going to be sunny, or when you’ll have a storm. So it’s best to be prepared for every of life’s storms, bring an umbrella everywhere. Which I never do.

Today was pretty sunny out, which pissed me off. I’m stuck at home, with no life whatsoever, and the sun has to be shining. Instead of out in the sun enjoying myself, I’m sitting around doing nothing. Such a waste of time.

You know, sometimes it seems that we don’t have enough time to do the things we want, and sometimes we have so much time on hand that we don’t know what to do with it. Haven’t we thought of the phrase “if I could go back in time” none too often? Or sometimes we seem to have all the time in the world, and we abuse it?

Sheesh, what’s happening to me?

Oh yeah, I remember the CME paper we took yesterday. Was it yesterday? I can’t really remember, due to the fact that I have such a busy social life that I simply can’t keep track of anything that’s so minor.

Right. If I had any social life, I wouldn’t be sitting here and staring at the oh-so-attractive computer screen. Instead, I’d be off clubbing somewhere…

Wait. CLUBBING? What clubbing? Bet my life I’ll get bounced out even before I step foot inside. Is it possible to throw someone out from a club even before they have entered? I’m not so sure myself, and no, I wouldn’t want to risk trying. I’m having trouble with the school rules as it is, and I’m not that sure that the law is going to be my best buddy anytime soon.

Just remembered that my mum wanted me to be a lawyer when I was a kid. Right. The only circumstance that involves me with the law is when I’m on the wrong side of it. Well, better become chummy with the future lawyers-to-be so that they can save my ass when I get into trouble next time.

Okay, back to CME. I get distracted easily, so pardon me, although I don’t really care if anyone’s annoyed that I got sidetracked.

I was practically laughing when I started doing the CME paper. I’m sure the setters had no intentions of being so funny, in fact, I think they (assuming that it’s set by more than a person) are trying their best to make it as serious as possible, and failed miserably. We finished the paper in like, ten to fifteen minutes. Sorry, it’s mean to laugh at people, and yeah, I ought to be given capital punishment for the sins that I’ve committed, but hell, who cares?

The first question was MCQ, and something like, “Why do parents stick their noses in their child’s business?” That’s rephrasing the question in my own words. Rephrasing, as you know, is just stating again in another way. Basically, it has the same meaning, except that the teachers were far to polite to put it that way.

Of course, there was the option: “Because parents care about their children”, which is bound to be the right answer. The standard answer. And of course, there is the option: “Because parents want to control their children”.

I was tempted to choose the latter as the answer. And that, if each wrong answer was awarded a demerit point, would give me a negative five.

CME is about trying to guess the way adults think so that we can fill in the blanks with THEIR answer. So we’re supposed to go, “Oh, I’m so goddamn grateful that my parents know every little thing about me and isn’t it good that they stole my privacy?”

Then there was the fill-in-the-blanks question. I remember the last question. Something like: “Practising ______ makes us strong blahblahblah whattheshit”.

Honestly, I can’t believe what some people wrote. So damn amusing! Olivia wrote “judo”. Like, judo?! Then Pearleen wrote “deterrence”, something she remembered from the Social Studies textbook. And Daniel wrote “sex”.

Right.

Yeah, I bet the teachers are going to be so appreciative of the immense amount of humor in the paper. Not. Don’t think that they’ll roll off their chairs or whatever they’re sitting on when they see it. In fact, their reaction would most likely to be, “What are kids thinking of nowadays? Is this what we teach them in school? This is so not funny.” Then getting into a hissy fit because those weren’t the answers that they want. And when they’re done with marking the papers and start giving them back, they’re also going to dish out the disappointed look that’s meant to wreck guilt in us. Then they’ll start giving little speeches like, “I’m saddened that you can give me such embarrassing answers. Judo? Deterrence? Sex? When did you learn those? Did I teach you to write that?” But nope, it won’t work.

Sorry, imagination running wild.

There’s also the structured questions, if you can call them that. They give you this situation, and you just write down your responses, like a survey. Except that this is no survey. It’s a deadly test.

There was this situation in the paper. Girl and guy dating. Guy wants more. Girl in dilemma. Then asked us how we would persuade her to say no. I wrote something like, “Just tell him firmly that she doesn’t want to” when all I want to write is “Tell that asshole to go to hell”. But I doubt the teachers would be very appreciative of my choice of words. But the former doesn’t convey everything the latter does. Which is why I’m utterly disappointed in myself for not saying, in this case, writing, what I really feel.

Okay, there’s at least a thousand words in this post. Not bad, considering that I have nothing to blog about in the first place. All this is simply crap. Geez, I don’t know I can be so good at talking nonsense.
