1st week of school 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE.

(i know this is very late)

This will be my first post of 2012!

So I will be blogging about first day of school,

timetable, Adam Khoo workshop etc.

And prolly be typing things that are debatable too.

Cos I've been wanting to type it for a long time

but recently i feel more like voicing out.

I like my cashmere top ! Bought it from Bugis Street 2nd level Girl Shop

I think it's only $16

There are, well, some changes to school.

Like how my class is NO LONGER on 5th floor (YAYNESS)

and my co form is Lily Koh.

I don't really mind her and I expected to get someone as strict as her anyway

Cos our class conduct not very good hehe.

There are 2 days in which we end school at 250pm,

and now one period is 40 mins.

I feel that it's weird to have one period as 40 minutes.

Cos it's troublesome to count.

Adam Khoo workshop was beneficial and I like our instructors.

This is already my second time attending and it still is interesting.

Somehow it's more of like a self-discovery journey la i think.

But i think I already know a lot about myself and being in this just reminded me who I am.

I know a lot of people benefited too.

If you didn't right, it's probably because you don't let yourself benefit.

We can find the best speakers, the best teachers or anyone that can help you.

But if you don't allow them to help you, then I guess you can't be helped.

And how do we allow someone to help us?

When we change our mindset and actually want to learn.

It's like everytime if we don't do well,

It's probably because we do not allow ourselves too anyway.

And a lot of people cried.

And when ytd ( last day) when everyone crying cos of the mic session,

one parent playing iPad. #isalutethee

Ok let's talk about this.

Is it really that Gen Y is too pampered/spoilt?

Idk if I talked about this in my blog but I did share it with people.

I know a lot of people have been throwing insults and criticising OUR GENERATION.

For various reasons,

like we don't give up our seats.

we don't dress 'properly'

we are rude to our parents

we hang out after school.

THE LIST GOES ON.

Ok since I'm from gen Y, people will think I'm just protecting my own G.

Well then that's when you are judging. lol noob.

I'm just gonna try to establish some understanding and hope that people can stop bashing us with nasty remarks, cos honestly we are all human and we don't like hearing things that hurt us/accuse us.

Well, only if you allow me to explain.

If you are reading with a mind like

' This girl confirm say things that don't make sense. '

'Aiya read also waste time.'

Then fine, whatever.

I don't need you to read anyway lol, not my loss.

Actually I quite happy go lucky one these few days..

LOL. No la! eh but really ah, if got guys reading this it's true that when got period girls will pms one ok. we just feel exhausted or easily irritated (especially ppl like me :x ) when on period. So please try to understand sometimes cos cramps can be really painful too.

People say that... we have everything.

iphone ipad ipod Mac Book blahblahblah

and we still ask for more.

NOT THAT I DENY THAT.

But what about the older generation?

All these are luxuries, wants, not needs. and yeah we can make do without them.

But not like you people don't do it too.

Do you see old aunties playing with their ipad or iphones?

YES YOU DO.

There's your answer.

All of us, IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, in this era, WE ALL DO THIS.

Just that some people choose not to buy la.

You know why?

Cos they don't know technology. SIMPLE.

If you know technology, you will be curious by all these gadgets and AT LEAST, in your lifetime, you will touch or even play this gadgets once.

Makes sense right? we are born curious.

and we are ALWAYS curious.

Besides, clothes are also luxury what.

Why do we buy so many then?

why not just wear the same clothing everyday? RIGHT?

Adults also do that what.

Not only Gen Y people are in the shopping mall mah.

People, before you all scold us right, you have to think about yourself you know.

Cos some of these things right, is our generation, learn from older generation one.

E.G. GAMBLING. vulgarities too

hahaha older people if you are reading this you shud be guilty.

Whether or not you got teach your child, your child will still learn, don't learn from you, learn from friends lor.

Friends learn from who? Their relatives lor!

especially during CNY. This is a norm already, all the children gamble. ok la maybe like 70%.

I'm talking about teenagers hor not 8 year old ok.

You all say that GEN Y do stupid things

LIKE: not studying, go out with friends too much etc.

Excuse me, you young that time, never make this kind of mistakes issit?

OR IF YOU REALLY NEVER RIGHT, then you should be a rich person now cos you will be successful in life. Yes?

But that doesn't make you mature if you are successful.

Cos being mature, you need to learn from mistakes and experiences.

So what if we do these things?

everyone makes mistakes.

That's how we grow, and eventually become a mature person.

Do you plan to protect your child and stop your child from doing anything wrong?

YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

You know it's inevitable.

you can't protect them forever.

And once in awhile you got to let them fall to the ground, so that they can learn.

That's how we learn things.

We always have to experience something bad first before we learn the value of something.

TRUE?

Next.

You all say that we don't know how fortunate we are, that we are all so shallow. Last time only have 5 stones, now we all got iphone.

Yeah it's true. This is true, cos technology wasn't great then.

but think about it.

IF YOU WERE IN OUR SHOES,

If you were raised in the exact same era, environment as us,

Wouldn't you want to have these gadgets to play with too?

People who don't think about it and immediately come up with an answer no, well clearly you are not thinking deep enough.

Imagine if everyone has an iPhone,

You play their games.

You like their games. But go home you no iPhone, can't play.

You like how iPhone is so convenient.

You are from an average family, got schooling, 5 room flat, parents working. And you are a teenager.

You sure you won't ask for something like that from your parents?

Cos you will be thinking 'my friends have I also want. and besides, my family CAN afford it.'

and to your parents, it's not a big sum of money.

you will probably find it hard to imagine,

because older people now, THEY ENVY us.

they envy our education,environment.

If they were to go back in time, they would study properly.

That's what a lot of people would say.

But if you put yourselves in our shoes, then you would know that our decisions are just normal.

I can't really explain this well, it all depends on how well you can imagine.

Oh yeah, another thing.

When I was at sball chalet macs, everyone didn't clear their trays and left.

And then the table beside mine, (i was left alone cos i was waiting for a friend) one guy (corporate office worker) said in chinese:

" Nowadays the students hor, don't know how to keep their own trays one. Everytime must wait for other people to come and wait on them. So immature."

ERHEM. bitch.

Somemore right, IS PURPOSELY SAY LOUD LOUD FOR ME TO HEAR. since I'm alone la and im supposed to clear like 8 fucking trays.

1st thing: DID I SAY I WON'T CLEAR?

no i didn't. my friends won't clear, nvm. I clear for them. Cos I don't want to trouble the cleaners too.

2nd thing: WHY MUST YOU GIVE ME THAT CONDESCENDING LOOK ON YOUR BITCH FACE?

now that is immature. You say so much right, and since you so mature, YOU COME CLEAR LOR. If you really mean what you said, then why don't you set a good example and clear?

And stop bitching about people? Huh?

3rd thing: Why you seem so arrogant? Not like last time you learnt to keep your own trays right? I bet after awhile then you start learning cos maybe ur parents or someone told you so.

4th thing: WHY MAKE A GENERALISATION?

"nowadays the students..."

Wah, eh ah beng, you so sure that everyone is like that is it?

You got an eye on every furniture, infrastructure, leaf, and can make sure that everyone in gen Y don't keep their trays?

No? Then stop judging, bitch.

COME ON MAN.

What is this?

Are you sure that sometimes the younger ones are immature?

It certain cases, the older one can be more immature.

Like the above guy.

IT DOESN'T MEAN IF YOU ARE OLDER, YOU ARE MORE MATURE.

Doesn't mean you are an adult, you can criticise anyone on any mistakes they do.

Cos you probably made the same mistake before. noob.

You don't have a right to.

But what you can do, is tell people nicely to keep their trays la.

WOULD IT HURT TO BE NICE?

If you told me politely to keep the trays pronto, I will.

One thing about people is that we find it hard to be nice.

So nvm, I pissed, not at my friends, but at this guy.

But still, I sms my friends that they shouldn't leave their trays behind.

Cos I want them to learn how to keep their trays. I always do.

and I will feel bad for the aunty if she had to clear all the trays too.

So, I stare at this guy, this guy still smiling at his colleague with that evil glint in his eye.

Then I stood up. Clear 4 trays at a time.

I'm not doing this just because someone said something about me.

I'm doing this to show him that there are people, who can do the right things.

But obviously with that airhead of his he won't be able to think this deep and think until like that right? My predicted reaction is that he will do that jibai face again and smile sacarstically to his colleague and talk about me.

He will probably say in chinese " Wait until people say already then will clear."

AND YES THAT HAPPENED.

Yes I heard it.

Yes I predicted it.

It's not hard to predict you know.

This kind of people right, with this kind of character, will always have the same kind of behaviour.

They will confirm suck up to their boss one.

They are suckers for money.

They like to criticise people.

They like to judge.

They themselves, are not very responsible too.

I wonder if readers agree with me.

Up to this point. Cos I think it's a very long post already.

It's wordy but I hope I didn't bore you out.

Conclusion:

I know that sometimes we teenagers are really stupid and immature, but everyone is once like that. Everyone makes mistakes. And you can't just judge people if you don't know our background or environment. So can people stop judging us?

Can people stop saying nasty things about us?

Can people try to see the good side of us?

If you keep focusing on the bad side, you will only see the bad side.

Alright, im done. BYEBYE PEEPS.

Let this world be a happy place.

I hope we can all learn to be more understanding :)
