JingJie just came over. He's still here. & he made my dad ramble on & on. My bro & him took the chinese papers yesterday. With me. Just dat I've got another paper to it. It got my parents so worked up. Elites elites elites. Elites are shit.
Of coz one of the uptmost pressing issue is the chinese i take or higher chinese higher? As in like is the former better than the latter or is it the other way round? Anyone with common sense will know that one who studies the basic characters as well as the orginial form of lit, then its the best of its form. But my mom isnt convinced. Coz her stupid sick friend told her her own daughter's higher chinese is better than mine.
I feel like stuffing my lit books up her sickening ass, kidney failure or no kidney failure. such provoking little asses. The whole family.
I memorised my books, learn the words, write the characters. If i shown her the books, I doubt if she knows what the hell the book's grapping about. I ddint initially. It was as good as alien. But once you get the hang of it, it stays. I'll like to see if her oh-so-high-chinese even comes close to mine!
Well now the dragonlday's satisfied. Coz the son cant compete with that ass. 1. she's in arts. 2.he's nt interested in chinese. So the daughter takes the field. Now that's another
Uniquely Singapore trend you see. Mothers compete using diamonds, household incomes, latest design AND their kids' studies.
To perfect the art, firstly you've got to learn to express yourself subtly. You got to learn to booast without coming outright. For eg, if your girl gets into RGS, you start by "my girl's skool is
soooooo far! I told her not to go le! But she
insists lei!" In actual fact, who's the one who
absolutely insists? The friend will counter with "Oh where huh? My boy's also lei! Bukit timah lei! That Hwa Chong lor! Aiyo!" Then the one with girl says "Oh! Mine is central la! Only RGS mah!" Then the Hwa Chong one wins coz her's is BOY lei.
Like how my dad has won his friends coz his SON is in JC, is in SCIENCE stream. According to him, when we graduated from secondary skools, we competed with any AhMao AhGou to squeeze into our shit JC. Now HE got to compete with ALL the top elites for that precious place in U. Coz we've squeezed our way into the supposedly Singapore's top 20%. Amongst this top, its all narrowed down to simply a few ten thousands. To fight for that place in any of the U place is to fight nails and tooth. You do whatever you think of!
& coz the SON is in SCIENCE, its harder for him to get in. I'm in the soft lousy stream, so I can get the lousy seats in that haven easily? well, I know there are people who will say "Oh I wanted to go so-&-so, where-&-where. But they send me to this lousy place". If that person has distinctions for both languages, I'll stuff my lofty arty-farty comments up my nostrils.
Science and shit. Elites and shit. Its all shit.
