Gary Jules - Mad World lyrics
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one new me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
Okay, updated the second time for the year. Probably the last post before the OBS trip to Pulau Ubin on Monday. Hope I get into Residential. After all, it's time to slack after the mind-boggling, time-consuming tests. Updated much of the admins except for the shoutbox. I'll be back on next week Friday, the eve of my birthday. Ha, so dao3 mei2. Bye dudes.

Hi. Probably the first time blogging here in the year 2004. For me, the years have been getting darker and darker. Let's face it - IP, the crappiest system in CHS and somehow the MOE is pleased with it. Unknowingly, Raffles family has copied our programme and supposedly fell into the same trap as well. In 2004, it was rather a slack year, with the usual buds in class. Today, I stand in a class full of nerds and the most degrading race is of course, the "melvins". I'm not criticising Melvin here, but using his character as a reference point. Melvins, to me, are a bunch of hooligans, funny, supposedly-slack, but they're actually mugging like a bullet-train straight from hell at their homes. Of course, there are good nerds and bad nerds. Nerds who fakishly want to act cool and act normal. But in layman terms, they can't. They want to be part of the group, they want to be part of the "dudes", but they just can't. Some do not even ask for coolness, like CCB. However, he still has problems in his personality expressing himself as a real GUY. But we can understand since his family is quite angmoh and he's quite influenced by sisters who say "DUH" in the feminine way.
Yeah. I despise people with angmoh backgrounds. However, there are exceptions like Galven. But of course, there are people who can't even speak or write Chinese. These are the ones I loathe. Okay, getting back to 2004, let's see. I'm in 3I, the class many people thought we are the best in our consortium, Ortus. Yes, we are best in studies, but no, I feel that we are not united. Some people like new Malaysian scholars like JunJie don't speak up at all, and when he askes people something, he covers his mouth and walks in a secretive way. I mean, is talking during FREE TIME illegal? And there are a lot of oddities in the class like Wilson who behaves violently over small things, who didn't even know how I'M GONNA feel when he put invisible ink on my shirt without any warning or some kinds. I mean, I don't know you well, and you suddenly pour invisible ink on my shirt for that many times, what kind of action should I take? You react violently over small things, what makes you think I won't?
Okay, in 3I, my form teacher is Ong (cannot type full name, you never know Google results will show), quite okay-looking. Well, much better-looking than other female teachers anyway. But she just put too much damn make-up. Wait for 10 more years then her skin will probably be like NgM (cannot type full name.....). She's quite generous in giving ACE points too.....3 OP for no talk in class in Term 1. LOL. Kills the shit out of me. Other teachers are okay. But there's two I'm gonna remark on. Alethea somehow tries to talk like Esther-Cheong style on her first lesson. I mean, we don't know you, why did you talk like that? It sounds like a small quiet girl trying to get the hip group's attention to get into the "circle". Limth is probably the best teacher I've seen so far. I mean, did you see any teacher who actually thought about the welfare of the students such that he gives a 15-min style of homework? And did you see any teacher who actually BOTHERS to file in new worksheets for you? And he has to do this for like 5-7 classes! Unfortunately, there are still others who take him for granted just way too much beyond his tolerance. Well, hopes he will win for the Best Teacher Award. (okay, but I didn't get the form, who would anyway?)
This year I have also adopted some kind of personality slant back in the Sec 1 era, the crazy part of me. I talk crazily online to some of my old schoolmates etc. But when it's something serious, I get serious. I don't act crazy in inapt situations. I'm not a jabroni-baloney who seeks attention by talking crap, being the teacher's pet or do controversial things to get others' attention. No, no, no, that's not the PIE I'm talking about. (whoa, let's listen to The Rock - Pie) However, some people like Kevin and some others said I look and act too cute for a hardworking guy who excels in most areas. Crap. Do I act cute???? Yes I do at times, but not so much....now even Sin Hwee is agreeing on the point. Dog-gone it. Hmm, talking so much about the busy school-life, let's get on to volleyball.
Well, my volleyball skills are becoming lousier. I do not want to play as fast forward. I'm not that tall and I don't jump high. I think the new Coach puts too much high hopes on me. I probably want to switch back to a lousy main forward or back to a lousy reserve or maybe a waterboy. I think Coach chose me because of my immense strength. Considering the fact that I've managed to move the very heavy old school bell in our CHS Archives Museum which took about 8-9 Indians to move it (according to Edwin), that is. But still, the jagged green copper edges on the below of the jar cut my fingers and one has turned blue-black. And no, it doesn't contain starch. Minkai and Xingzhou the duo have also recently began to participate more actively in volleyball and I'm very happy to see that. (Well, I've always though XZ is a slacker) Okay, I think that's about it. Oh ya, Winston forgot to put my blog's name under his links. Oh well. I'm not a really close friend anwyay. Hopefully, I'll update the blog's music and links by next weekend. Until then, thank you for spending your ample time reading this longest post of the year, thank you for supporting hylden.blogspot.com for all these months, vanakam, hastalavista, let's put this simple: Bye.
