ok, today's thought of the day is inspired by something i saw on my way home. while i was walking home, i passed by the void deck of blk 99 and i saw two kids, presumably siblings, playing at the void deck. nothing unusual right? but i saw them wearing crocs and since my eyes are so sensitive to things that are grotesquely ugly, including my reflection in the mirror in the morning, i saw the crocs. so two kids in crocs playing at the void deck, bad choice of shoes, so what? well, they were wearing socks under their crocs. which leads to this thought of the day: why do you wear socks if you're wearing crocs?
the whole point of crocs to ensure that your feet are well aired so they are comfortable and dont smell at the end of the day. however, when you wear socks, you are effectively cancelling out any good thing that crocs do for you. and crocs on their own are ugly enough, why make it worse by adding socks? so please answer my question: why do ppl wear socks with their crocs. why spend $50 on a pair of ugly silicone sandals that are supposed to give you maximum comfort then ruin it by wearing socks?
anw, back to more mundane things. i failed my maths tutorial test on functions. arrrgh. 7/20. how pathetic. an inauspicious start since it was my first test at RJC. oh well, i guess i can aim for another good progress award. and i did my chem lecture test today. i predict another failure is in store. how lucky, failed second test in RJC. truth is, both tests were really difficult and i had difficulty catching up. which brings me to another dilemma, will i struggle my way through RJC, cancelling out whatever confidence boost my O level results gave me? is RJ's standard too high for me? well, i put both feet in, and there's no turning back now. (do you think TJ will allow me to appeal from RJ?)
im really hoping i dont screw up any more tests. i know first three months is supposed to be slack, but i simply will not accept any more failures. and i resolve to study for tests. i guess i did badly coz i didnt study hard enough. arrrgh. frustration.
so anw, i've been busy lately with the practice for the dance item for founders' day, which in case you havent noticed, has been brought forward this year to march 7. how preposterous. the ironic thing is, this year's founders day entertainment section is counting on us. the day will more or less be prize presentation and speeches. besides the dance, there will only be one cross-talk to count as entertainment. and since i suppose that ahs ppl are not so good at listening to cross-talk, i will have to concede that the council alumni dance is the only thing they will probably be watching.
the dance is going good, just that i dont know if we can finish on time. tomorrow im going back again for another prac at 12noon. just like the good old days. haha. but i have decided i must put those good old days behind and get my act together to take RJC by storm. i think i have been underperforming of late, skipping CCAs, slacking in class, not doing homework and stoning in lectures. that just simply will not do in RJC, so im going to have to pull up my socks and start behaving like a student.
arrrgh, when will my life get brighter? when will i finally start enjoying what i do?
