i went out with my 0309 batch today. all along i always knew how different our worlds were. in their world, dropping out of school is a norm. in ours, getting B is below average. in theirs, not smoking is a virtue. in ours, vulgarities are a vice. today simply served to reinforce that point. watching gokusen reminds me of what i'm supposed to do for these ppl. but as i watch the episodes and let the warmth of idealism wash over me, i can't help but counter with cold cynicism.
as if it is so easy to change a person. as if good intentions are so easily known. as if sincerity and dedication so easily touch hearts. as if all (or even most) of them are good, nice and virtuous people hiding behind facades of rowdiness. as if most of them are really just misunderstood.
but we are called to have faith. and so we must. at least we had to. now that they've pop-ed... oh well. ok la i'm not actually THAT cynical. just that gokusen was really too unreal.
i bought my new bike today <3 it is a sleek and beautiful thing. white, classy and savvy. just wondering how to break e news to dad. lolz mentally rehearsing all my defenses. oh wellZ. bought already la shoganeiii so just let the storm come. the trick is to tell him on a good day la. i just quite scared he find out on his own.
AND I'M DAMN ANGRY ugh. it got first blood-ed within hours O.o i put it in the cab and the cab boot cut my seat sobz. stupid driver. went over the bump so fast wth. so i didn't wanna risk another time after dinner so i cycled home. from geylang! powerfullll. lolz not bad la followed tugmun's instructions just go straight all e way and poof i appeared in serangoon. niceeee. very possible healthy lifestyle~
interesting times! our oc ordered one of our specs to leopard crawl through the mud puddle in the last 4km of our 24km a few days ago because he refused to go through the puddles. and the best thing was: he actually did it. so yes he got pissed. he complained to TO. 2IC got to know, now CO knows yada yada yada. so there's a possibility of summary trial, which is damn interesting. ok la it'll prob be bad for us too... spillover effects. but it's worth it la. watching oc learn his lesson. then again i'm quite scared to plan stuff in my lull now... strong sense of deja vu. shit happens in sept.
