I've hit a new low.

This is terrible.
It's after the exams,
I've just gotten a ton (okay, maybe not A TON) of publicity,
and I've run out of things to blog about.

Better yet, I've gotten back the first of my results.
Social Studies.

3285

You can see my results,
I've highlighted it in red.

I barely passed. bloody hell.
This, from a student who was the top of the class
a year ago. Scoring A1s and haggling with the teacher
for that few extra marks.

For the fun of it.


How did I ever get into this state?
I blame the teachers.
Simply because, its so easy to blame them.

Well,
simply because I can.
That, and because I'm a disgruntled teenager.

When in doubt, blame the 3rd party.
Although not surprising,
my results are deeply troubling.

Which lead me to the realization that,
I've lost interest in Social Studies.
The one subject in school that provided sitmulation
of an intellectual level
(English is too easy. Math and Science bah... Memory work)
and I've lost interest.

Which then lead me to the realization that
the Social Studies classes in school have usually degenerated
into displays of stupidity by the loud mouthed idiots in my class.

With 3/4 of the lesson wasted on the teacher
(Who allegedly holds a Masters in god knows what)
Explaining general knowledge questions to the
few loud mouthed idiots in the class.

Typical example:
*We're studying on the topic of Singapore's aging population their healthcare needs*
"Cher! What is CPF?"

"Cher! When can you withdraw money form your CPF!"

"Cher! CPF No money how?"


Instead of intelligent questions,
or gathering round for an intellectual debate in class.
The Social Studies lessons has been reduced to the state
where it should be renamed
"Social Science: How much of a dipshit can you be?"

Seriously,
I still remember previous years,
where the lesson was dominated by the
intellectual discussions of me and Han Yang (aka Joe Hahn aka T.H.Y.)
I got a kick out of ridiculing the idiots in class.

Apparently, I was being disruptive and obstructing
the students who really 'needed help'.

Screw, one wonders why I haven't massacred them yet.
Perhaps, oen day I will.
Just to be nice and do the world a favour.
How's that for helping?

Note:
No new development of the Charles/Caitlin Lee VS Darthsid the depressive and amoral teen.
Bah! I was hoping for something more dramatic to tide me over this dry spell.
It seems that I'll have to make do with posting crap instead.

Right after my induction to LEWD summore.
How to take over the blogosphere liddat?!

P.S.:
To all my readers out there, I know there's quite a few of you.
Go post something on the tagboard or the comments leh...
And if you're a moron, don't worry.
I promise to be very gentle...

haha. not a bad entry in lieu of your not having any blogging material. shaping up after entering lewd, i see!

lol.

wongcheok: Of course. Us LEWD members have an uncanny ability to make mountains out of molehills.

Sid: That's why I dismissed Social Studies at an early age. Most secondary schools students simply aren't equipped to ask the right questions. Anyway, if I were you, I'd keep an eye on Math and Science. They separate the men from the boys at a later stage in your academic life. :)

Sigh. It must be the teachers who are marking the students down. I did even worse than you, believe it or not.

Yes! It's not our fault. It's theirs.

Cheok said...

heh. the men cant do math and science for nuts?

lol.

Wongcheok:
Oh yea, we are after all, LEWD.

adrian:
Math and Science..
But I dowan to be engineer leh..

wulu:
Yep! The first thing I do after I've got my O level results would be to pee all over their heads
and run off!

It's okay.. As my geography teacher tells us, (right after the whole levels fails the geography paper)
it's only the mid year exams.

It's their fault not ours.
Damn right!

wongcheok:
I was rather thinking about pursuing a degree in mass comunications.
I'd serously love to be able to talk down to the masses.

math and science? Why would I want to be able to memorise something when
I can refer to the textbook?

Dude, you can't construct Death Stars without a solid background in physics. Of course, if you can get minions to do it for you, that's fine too. I am, however, more of a hands-on sort of Evil Genius. :)

Constructions of Death Stars are easy..
I just relay orders for a moon-shaped-thingy-ma-bob-that-has-to-be-big-to-look-intimidating-so-that-the-rebel-scum-will-fear-me-that-shoots-laser.

I relay that to Vader, and vader relays that to my minions.
Who will get their tracheas crushed if they disagree or cannot comply with my specific intructions.

Being a tyrannical emperor is sweet!
