The Tainted World of Man

Today is a nice day. Yeah today was fine. Until chinese lesson, when we saw the fat teacher walk into the classroom, i quickly erased my perception of how he was like cause of how i learnt he was from other people. And luckily i did. Because he was just as hatable as people say he is. He spoke his speech so fluently, jumping from things he dislikes to i'm a nice guy to i can be an angel and a demon, obviously he spent much time before he came to school to write this speech. I can imagine at home in front of his mirror, trying to memorize the speech. Recollection of his speech. "ok, have i been to this class? Well if i haven't, let me tell you a few things that work for me. The classes that i've taught know that i can make life very miserable for them. *some text missing* Some of you guys like to play transformers, you like to move the table, but make sure after the lesson you move them back. I'm a very nice guy, the guys who've played pool with me will know. I can be an angel, alright, similarly i can be a devil, alrite, i'm a guy with no life, i stay at home thinking of ways to make students' lives miserable.'' And some more, i write this to compare with other people who've been relieved by him, is it the same? haha. Anyway, i was just thinking, what the heck, he's only a relief teacher, haha.

Anyway, for the whole lesson i was talking to ray and yh about cs,we've been playing cs pretty much recently, (with darren) and of course, being the computer gurus, they totally owned me, which they deny so. Then suddenly the fat teacher said aloud, you know who plays good pool in this school? Immediately my head turned, haha, i thought he would refer to us, since he got owned, but he said Mr Foo and some other technician. I was totally dumbstruck. Oh my goodness, the OM, a pool player? Then the fat teacher continued to say that he got cleared by Mr Foo once. Oh my goodness, so much for making Mr Foo respect me. Anyway, i'll find an opportunity for me to be able to gain his respect. Anyway, got back the chinese test results, and i got 66.6 if converted to 100% I was still kinda amazed, haiya, i don't really know how to get an a1, its just so, you know, something like impromtu. On the lesson having the test i still wished we didn't have the test. We just got in and did the test, i didn't have the test mood. Anyway, i'm already very lucky to be my postion now, i should be! I mean, if i can't even get a B, my mum would definitely disown me, of course, not disown, just be really really mad. She's already unhappy that i don't get As for Chinese. Anyway, its really difficult for me to get A for Chinese in final-years, i mean, i just can't get a good mark for Compo. Teck tells me i write like i talk, but i find it totally difficult to write a chinese compo, i guess that's how difficult Chinese inclined people feel when they write an english compo. Anyway, they were talking about the Chinese o' level release of results. Then i was telling teck, if i didn't get an A1, i'd probably retake it. I mean c'mon, Chinese is compulsory to be in one of those 6, if you get a B3 its like, you already know half of your result, must well make it an A and give yourself something better to hope for!

Anyway, got back English compre results and i got 32/50, i was so surprised, i didn't even do it properly. I mean, i read the passage once and rushed to finish the questions and for the summary, i did a draft just to show ms wong some respect and also to kill time, and i still got 32, i should have passed only. Yeah, and anyway, ray was telling me how he didn't do this one properly and he got 37, haha.

Anyway, for the whole of the 2 periods, i simply chatted with ray, a rather enlightening chat. I've finally understood Communism. I mean, when ray lent me the Communist Manifesto, what i understood was the exploitation of the working class by the bourgeoisie. To put the message across simply, the working class are paid the amount they work per hour, and the goods they produce earn money for the bourgeoisie, or the upper class, the Manifesto, says that all the surplus that goes to the capitalist as profits is in reality the "property" of the working class who created that wealth. By right, the money that the bourgeoisie earn are produced by the workers but yet they enjoy much more. So i found out he wasn't emphasizing on this point. I mean, mainly, Communism is about restoring the dignity of working back to the workers. I mean, men work just for money, for the profits, for the sake of working and not for the leisure. Men have changed, under capitalism. He told me workers in the Argentinian factory just come and work, and the knock off whenever they please, they elect a manager, and they receive the amount of money they work for. I dunno, but whatever he said, i really agreed, i've forgotten what he said, i guess i'll update this post again, what he said today turned me communist. I mean, he really hit the spot, but i guess i don't want to be involved with this, i guess i'm ok with everything. Then he talked about how unfair the Americans were, i mean, communist men were elected in several countries thru the democratic system but yet the US used their might to take away these people. We're living in such a corrupted and tainted society. What men want are power over others, riches and everlasting wealth, when will they stop fighting and realise everlasting wealth awaits above?

Anyway, after school, me kenenth and teck siang had lunch outside. And they were telling me about the pool parlour at Park Lane, i've never been there before, you need to be 16. But they told me you need just one ic for one group to enter, to get a table, each need to give their ics. And they told me there was a challenger's table, whereby the winner takes the table, the loser punches the table ( as in pay for the table) And there was actually a queue, for challenges. they told me about who they beat, who they lost, who wei zhou beat, and so on and so for. But i guess if i went it wouldn't be a big problem for me, they told me the standard there wasn't sky high. Anyway, teck told me last week that wei zhou asked them how come i didn't want to go to Park Lane, and Kenneth said haiya, he so easily get psyched, go there confirm cannot play well. Now kenneth knows i'm so vulnerable. Then i spent like 10 mins telling teck how kenneth can psyche me. I mean, kenneth know's my weakest link, that's my psychological barrier. I mean, you may look at this post and think, haiya what psychology? When you play pool, just don't listen to your opponent talk la, so simple, just concentrate! It doesn't work this way. Another unexplored area in this world, how the mind works. I mean, you don't conciously know that you're being affected psychologically. I mean, even little things people say affects me. Like when i play with kenneth, he just cannot keep quiet, especially against me, the worst of all psychos is like, when i face a fairly simple shot, they he'll say, this shot confirm in one, it's hexun's favorite shot. Then in my mind, i'll think, "what's he playing at? He's trying to psycho me? Haha, i'm not that easily psyched. '' and what follows is a miss. Then he'll pretend to be shocked. Haiya, its normal already, kenneth himself knows he cannot really win me if he doesn't psycho me.

I mean, you don't know how the mind works. Sticks and stone can break my bones but words can never hurt me, haha, what am i talking about? Anyway, when kenneth says something, i'll look expressionless and i'll seem unaffected, but maybe somewhere in my brain, a sensitive nerve explodes and gives me a misjudgement on the ball i hit, because in cuesports, especially snooker, it requires undivided attention, i wish psychologists could work on cuesports, i'll tell my mum leter. Anyway, kenneth himself admits his presence at the table when he's against me psychos me. Last time at wei zhou's house, he told me that he wanted to play the last match against me, a serious match. Then during one of my shots, he went to sit down, saying he didn't want to psycho me, haha, so you see the power of psychology?

Anyway, went to church after lunch to discuss about some event in dec cause i'm in the committee. Then i was just sitting there quietly saying nothing while they began talking and talking. I just can't help being shy. Anyway, they were also talking about the o level chi stuff and how higher chinese is important. Then i think back to my primary school days when i was in EM1, i dropped to EM2 because i didn't get a band 2 for english, i missed by 1 mark. What a joke, i dropped because of english, and because of one mark. And my mum went to meet the teacher and the teacher wouldn't let me cause he said i was lazy and i loved to play soccer. haiya, what to do, its only a mark and the teacher doesn't allow. My whole class dropped out except 2 who continued, haha, and i could have made it, if i got 1 more mark for english, i mean other people didn't mark the mark for other subjects, like chinese, which is understandable if the teacher doesn't allow continuation but mine is english! By 1 mark!!!! I wish he was more loving and compassionate and kind. If not i would have taken my mother tongue already.haiya....

Its friday, enjoy your weekend!
