Went to catch I'm Not Stupid Too with two of my joker classmates, a.k.a friendz... in case of any internal strife!! Anyway, it had been a long time since the feeling of desperation of catching a particular movie was in me and it jus happened that i caught it with them.
Well, the reason for watching the movie would sound familar to many of my school friends... Once again, it started with the topic of watching movie, which was brought up by our dear Sarah while dinnering. And then, GUESS WHAT, the FAMOUS PHRASE RETURNED!!!! "TODAY LA!" So, the hype was created it generated plenty of commotion. SMall one though. And well, sarah ended up in cine meeting her friends and leaving the two indo companions including me to make it threesome!
Fortunately, the decision was to enjoy I'M NOT STUPID TOO and not some other joker movies. And that brought me to the touching, meaningful, enlightening and comical story that Jack Neo had created.
It started with these two joker teenagers who were brought up in two contrasting family backgrounds, but with similar problems - A raw diamond without a proper polishing process. And the story moved on with a further elaboration of their backgrounds which resulted in tears flooding the theatre. (warning: this is absolutely true. The probability of crying is 95% and the S.D value is a mere 1.23456789% and based on a sample size of ard 75 people.) The description here might sound vague to many who haven watched it, but once you watched it, it is apparent that no one can resist the temptation to let your tears flow freely as the movie progressed.
The best thing about this movie was the ability to relate to what majority of us had gone through, a certain extent with a R2 value of 85%. And well, we were once a teenager and all we need were ATTENTION, RECOGNITION AND COMMENDATION and it was clear that such stuff were lacking.
It was not because our family and peers do not recognise our ability but it was more of a case whereby it became challenging to recognise people's ability publicly, for fear of several reasons:
1) Sign of weakness
2) Confidence level of other grew while yours may reduce (Chinese saying, Zhang ta ren shi qi, mie zhi ji wei feng) = Praising others to raise their morale, while reducing your own confidence
3) Inferiority
4) Spare the rod, spoil the child, believing that using rod is the only method that will improve the ability of people (In the 1960s to 70s)
Such things will definitely happen, if the compliments are supported by ulterior motives. However, what happens if you have sincerely and truthfully commend on the efforts of the others? Try thinking from the other perspective, How will you feel when someone not only recognise your ability and express their admiration literally to ya? When you have extensively provide an excellent service to people and they in reply, say stuff like, "you are really great man or Well done, is nice to have you assisting me in all these," and who would you feel?
Wouldn't you go an extra mile to provide a much better service for the others? And i firmly believe that you are able to relate to such incident be it while working or running an errand for your mum or lecturer.
However, people are always expecting their others to do it before they will follow. As such, it is easy to find reasons to excuse yourself from commending on the others. And if such cases happened, will anyone go an extra mile to do a much better job?
What comes around goes around. Humans are war-blooded animals. They will understand who are kind to them and who are not. Expressing admiration and offering commendations sincerely and truthfully will only enhance your image as a magnanimous person and not a sore loser. JUs try it out for a day and you will be surprised by the impact.

Yesterdae was over and is time to look forward to tomorrow. Yeah, i have been carryin this principle with me throughout these three years and well, in a flash of time, i had completed my poly life, discountin the exam period. Really damn fun man. Of course there were some regrets in Poly. Like wat my friends a.k.a classmates had discussed few days back, there were things which we were supposed to do but din manage to complete it, or even started it.
First on the list:
1) Getting a partner
Well, i remembered clearly that my seniors once told me, "any relationship brought forward from sec will bound to break up due to the temptation. And best, it is super easy to get a gf."
And indeed, the first was fulfilled. But the latter? Quite disappointing to say so.
2) Self-discipline worsen
Ya, this is very true man. As we are able to take advantage of the flexibility of the modules, our level of self-discipline reduced and this resulted in alot of promises or resolutions that i have promised myself leaving unfill.
3) Not learning the SP School Song!
Sound dumb indeed. The point is this, this will be the memento that i will carry throughout my life as what my primary school song and secondary school song had given me - wonderful memories. Maybe one day they will make it compulsory to sing school song every monday upon reaching sch?
And only for those who are late for class? Coolz...
Three regrets for 3 years. SOund reasonable though

Well well, there is an end to everything and indeed, we have arrived at the terminal of our current stage and is embarking onto the part of our lives. It is hard to believe so that we are year 3s and going to truthfully become a part of the society and contribute more heavily to the economy.
I can always remember the first time i came in contact with the students of SP. It was during our orientation and unfortunately, i kinda forgotten who were my facs. Oh, ya i remember them now. ANyway, it doesn't matter. The last day of the orientation always ended up by asking us to contribute socially to the society on the behalf of the sch. Well, morally we did something good. But was it a waste of time? It remains debatable.
Nxt, was the time i headed to this funny leadership camp on cruise with the rest of SB class reps and etc. Met quite a no. of jokers over there. And most of them, of course are still in existence, and well in fact is all. They include people like Pingz, Hadi, Robin and Zul and
many many more (adapted from shelby Singh). That was great experience as we spent our time building our relationship and network with that, it propelled us to the nxt stage of life.
With that, Pingz u this joker, became of one my best buddies in sch and together with him, we went into some ventures. And well, he led me into them! To be truthful, it was a moment that remained to be unforgettable. Indeed, the stuff that we had undergone through were something that would and will increase our personal value relative to others. It was then we both realised that, "hey, i think i kinda have no interest in DBA. I prefer numbers. Seriously, it turns me on!!!!"
I had no idea why we both had the same idea. Maybe at that moment we were destined to be faggots in actions. (remind me of another story...!!!). And then, we jumped ship! - from Virgo to Gemini!
One of the ventures that we had. He was still quite skinny at that time though! Now i realised it.
Well, anyway we jumped. And into another funny class full of funny jokering fantastically crappy cockster and anything that is related to nonsensical u can dump it to them. Initially, things were jus normal. One couldn't feel any emotional attached to the class yet. And that was the time where our ventures were still on and well, skipping classes became a norm. That even brought me further from the class.
Ya, now it was time for a story. It started in morning while we were having FA. I was wearing a pink girdano polo tee and a small little frog on my left side of the chest. (Pretty in trend during that time). And well, 30 min had passed when a joker came in. And well, he was my so-called gay partner. The worst thing was, HE WORE PINK TOO! And for the rest of the day, we had to walk around the sch in seperation to avoid controversial remarks which would be detrimental to our reputation. thats was pretty faggotish! I MUST ADMIT!!!
Quite a number of jokes circulated ard this funny class. And it seems that everyday there was a joke of the day and it was just like those quote of the day u seen on webby that generated randomly. Well, guess who is the joker? I showed u the photo.
(clue: He is a guy)
And well, joker rite? Fancy a guy doing a GEISHA dance in a computer lab where neighbouring labs were able to see through to this place.
And there was a so-called disciple of his! And at this moment in time, he is kinda caught with horny virus and Huo Huo Huo bacteria.
(Clue: The one with an additional action!!!)
Then, i also met another guy, who coincidentally had the same kind of eyes. Though he might be smaller. Which i would raise both hands to agree with that. And for your info, don judge a book by its cover, and in this scenario, is don judge the wealth by his look. Shall not elaborate on it!!!!
(No clue given. You are thinking what i'm thinking!)
wait, i need to clarify something. U might be thinkin that the guy behind him is me. Because he kept appearing in each photo!!! hahaha... But well he is owner of the camera ma!!! And who is he? Another charismatic joker who had been doing all the responsible job for the class. Without him, we would have no notes. Without him, We would not have th photos. And well, without we migh not have all the gatherings maN!! here is a close loook once more!
(Style rite? Yeah it is!!!)
Lets see, ya i rememeber another one. This guy is really a book that can nv be judge by its cover. I notice a significant change in him. Or if not, maybe he is finally showing his true colour. It just happens that he is able to tell me all the bet amount for toto from system 7 8 and 9 which i don even know in the first place. And he even tried to calculate the probability of striking with each system. Din noe that he is so PRO in it!!!!
JUs tell me, who looked the most decent here?
And nxt, there was this guy who had nv failed to study. And last time, maybe he was an introvert. But after years of influence and hanging out, (well, there was this chinese proverb called, near good become good, near dark become dark), and well now his actions became fantastically funny.Coolz... But sorry tim, i don have ur close up photo! but nevertheless, i want to show u all his photo! (Now i got it)
funny rite?!!!!!!
( The one on the furthest rite is the study fellow and the one who cannot been seen is my
woodlands Khaki yeah !!!)
And well, one more guy and i shall move on. It is this big size, (but it is proportionate) guy who had always tried his best to acc me home. That was jus putting it in a nicer form. Well, he lives woodlands and so do I! so? But afterall, a guy who loved to speak humorously and without him, i think i would left alone always (for 5 min at least). And i realised something, i seldom took photo with ya huh???
(who is the biggest size?) (reiterate again, is proportionate!!!)
Well well, and come on. It is time to talk about some other funny people ard. Yeah first one to talk about is this little pussy that nv failed to pussify people.
"It's amazing to hear people talking pussy.... Without saying a word, u can make people laugh huh!"
(Jus see who has the most pussified look)
And nxt, a lady damn fierce one... Even i initially also scared of her. But nowadays, she seems to have gained enlightenment and became more calm, like lake.
Now is abit hard to guess, coz she is nice now... Well,definitely not the jap ghost!!!! ARGHHHH!!!!
Sorry, thats pretty cold i noe... But talking abt the jap ghost, is pretty funny. She is also another one that acc me home after sch provided she is free and afterall, she lives somewherre along that line... so??? Anyway, if u guys happened to know of director lookin for a geisha role, go ahead to look for her. She is willing to. But of course, not to that extend... don think so much!
Now show u another joker a.k.a Ah MA. Seriously............
Does she look Ah MA???
But she is really funny. Straight forward cockster who talked without worrying whether will hurt people. And tats the spirit man! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Abit tired now... Can i update later on?? cannot tahan... spend an hr doing this.. reminds me of sec COMPOSITION WRITING
(clue: He is a guy)
