That's Life

In view of the huge number of takers of the 17D/16N Pulau Tekong Delight package, I suddenly feel emo. Like about how school has ended and I have nothing to do. So I present 'Percy Phang's Perspectives'. It's about RJ by the way.

If I could change things throughout the 2 years, I definitely would. To say that the 2 years were very enjoyable would be incorrect but perhaps memorable would be a better word. I'm still feeling very very very pissed off for skipping the second trial. Especially when it was because of bruised ego. And I knew I could have got it. Oh yeah I would definitely have studied organic chem much harder. It wasn't organic chem that killed me it was basically my own laziness. And I should have kept my mouth shut about her.

Hmmm I still remember walking into RJ for the first time in 2006. My OGL hadn't called me, actually she did but I was out, I was totally lost and believe it or not I was very apprehensive about meeting girls. I mean let's face it RI didn't exactly provide me many opportunites to meet girls and well RINCC gave us this stupid stereotype of RJ girls as primeval, grunting cavewomen who could shout louder and stronger than us weaklings masquerading as defenders of our nations. Anyway yeah well I didn't think the girls in my OG were great but well I was desperate, seeing as how I had just escaped from the testosterone-mushed institution from next door. Haha yes I was young and desperate. BUT my OGL was hot. Haha I still think she is. Gabrielle from tennis. Hmm apparently her nickname was Biceps but I think she should be called Babe haha. Braces and thunder thighhhhhhs.

Anyway then I went to S03G. Truth was, I am not a Science person. Ok I guess I can study science if I put my heart to it but truth was the Bio was killer. The Chem was pretty bad too. Heh and I didn't really like many of my classmates. Plus the class was segragated. Still is I believe. Heh then I switached to LHME. Went to A01E - Arts Junkyard, according to Chongzhi. Well stayed there for a day before becoming far too insecure about dropping both sciences for arts subjects so I went to S07A, taking LCME. Well I don't think any of you know this but I didn't like Vadi at first. Haha strange eh being pretty pally with him for the rest of 2006. Bet you couldn't tell. But then I think he sort of saw a bit of himself in me. A bit of a maverick. Scraped through promos. I told myself I would study harder heh but well you know what happens with this kind of promises.

Anyway 2007 rolled around. And in a flash yeah the workload started to get heavier. And well I started talking to more of my classmates. In 2006 I only talked to Linus and Longkuan. In 2007 started talking to more people like Lim Min, Crunch, Cheryl, Chloe, Jie Liang. Well maybe beacuse they sat behind me. I still remember my good old seat, nearest to the door. Heh. I still remember Monday's timetable of Econs, Lit, Maths lec and Lit. I remember the bell ringing at 1230 sharp and Puay Miao exiting the room and me feeling kind of lonely in class despite the chirping chatter all around me. Sometimes we went out to J8 for lunch but the feeling wasn't there. Truth is, I didn't feel close to all of them at all at the start of the year. Ok lah I guess I got closer as the year went on but I still couldn't help sensing that there was a great divide. And yes I was a total jerk to most of the girls in class and yes I also knew that many of you disliked me but to be honest I wasn't really bothered. You win some you lose some. Plus there are always repercussions of playing the clown.

Heh then I started to sort of dread knowing the date, knowing that with each day the great tests were slowly approaching. I could have done so much better, prepared so much more and been more confident. I can't help feeling that I've sort of let down Mr Kok, whom I really owe a big thanks for scheduling all those revision lessons and consultations for me and Longkuan. Well I think I did improve after that but I could have done a whole lot more. I could have done my tutorials on time.

Ok emo time over. Hmm I hope this time things work out.
