Skoolz

Today was rather "slack" First, council elections replaced most of the lessons in the morning, and I was sitting at the back the whole while watching and playing chess. When the time to vote came, my brain was still in chess mode, and was given about three seconds to think who to vote... Come to think about it, I didn't really vote as I had intended to, and not too wisely, either, as my votes were determined by the individual candidate's "sincerity", and "willingness to serve the school". I shall not elaborate on the terms in inverted commas here =) Actually, I was thinking... There's this candidate I voted for whom didn't express his "sincerity" that well... But it's okay. Given the opportunity, I believe most people have the potential to perform in what they are commited at. But on the fundamental basis, personality counts the most. And I can no longer tolerate the attitude of some prefects the last time round. (I'm not pointing fingers at any individual...)

Enough of this council nonsense... Does anyone really believe the Student's Council has the power to drastically improve our lives at school?! Looking at the prefects back in secondary school and primary school, I highly doubt so... Not that I have anything against prefects... The Student's Council just does what it is meant to do, nothing more. But... That explains why I was more involved in chess games than what the council nominees say during the elections. Then after that came a massive two-hour break, which I obviously did not intend to spend in the school canteen (the canteen food just sucks). An advantage of being in HCJC is the adjacent Chinese High School, and since one can travel from one campus to another, it is relatively easy to sneak out of one of the gates without bumping into meddlesome people. (Actually, I didn't expect the teachers of the Chinese High School to be so docile and harmless... It turned out that one cannot generalise. Some people are bound to trigger alarms and all that, totally bent on ruining everybody's day.) Thus, a group of us walked out and treated ourselves to a much nicer meal (It turned out to be more groups than I had anticipated).

On the whole, today was rather "slack" as most of the day's lessons were "eaten up"... Why, then, is my mood still so foul? Doesn't life just suck sometimes and you can't explain it? I really need time to "unwind"... I hope this "foul streak" doesn't continue to my birthday, which is a little too soon...
