Just caught a film on star movies called Party Liaison. It was about this guy named Van Wilder and his life in college and stuff. Don't worry i won't spoil the plot for you but if you have the chance, you should watch it. Not just for Tara Reid but it was one of those "inspiring" shows. Probably not the right word to use but nevermind. Its hilarious as well, heh... I was laughing my ass off at some parts of the show. P.S. I think its NC-16 or something like that.
Anyways, i guess its one of those "true stories" like what i remember Bro. Mike mentioning at one of his talks. "True" has two meanings. The first and the more obvious one would be that it actually happened in real life. But that's not the meaning i'm talking about right now. Another meaning of the word "true", is that the underlying story, kind of like the moral of it all, is true. I can't remember the exact words he used to explain this meaning but i know it falls somewhere along these lines. I do know that he did give an example of it. For instance, take the movie Finding Nemo. It was definately not a true story like it actually happened, but it is a true story because it teaches us about friendship and stuff like that. Get it? I don't know... Maybe there wasn't much truth behind the movie thinking about it now. Either that or i just can't find the right words to put it in. Nevermind... I don't think many, or all of you would have understood all this crap i've just wrote, or even bothered to waste your precious time reading this junk.
Another week passes. I was just reading the first few lines of my previous entry and remembered how i felt at that point in time writing the similar opening sentence. Time really flies. Bloody hell its going to be May in a few minutes. That's FOUR whole months gone. It came and left just like that. To me at least. And come to think of it, i've seriously been wasting time. I remember reading emails and stuff about how you shouldn't waste your time. How that after one second passes, you'll never ever get it back. The thought of that sometimes scares me. I'd be like counting to myself, "I just lost one second of my life. Two seconds, three seconds..." Freaky shit...
Lets get down to an update proper. The main highlight of my otherwise so-so week was on wednesday. Two days earlier i realised that it was my turn on wednesday's chinese period to present some conversation topic. Knowing my chinese isn't all that wonderful, i panicked. I missed track training on tuesday just to go home and prepare for it. I dug out my really really old English-Chinese, Chinese-English dictionary and started frantically flipping through just to understand what my topic was really asking for. I had already asked several people in school, who needless to say, have a much better grasp of the language. I just needed to be sure. So after i finally understand what the topic is, the phone rings. Turns out to be vicky on the other line. I took the oppurtunity to ask her for help with the presentation. Doesn't make much sense of a j1 guy asking a sec3 girl for help with chinese does it? Anyways, she helped out a lot. Don't know if she'll read this but thanks again. ;) Thanks also to aaron. Heh... So i work on it all over dinner and after dinner before finally finishing it. Won't say that i was proud of my work, but at least it was more or less done.
The next day we were having a break before the chinese period. So i asked for help from some classmates of mine to "touch up" on my presentation. So much thanks to them as well. So it finally got to the point when i had to stand up in front of not only my own class, but s12 as well and humiliate myself as i tried to present to them something i wasn't even sure of myself. Humiliate myself, i did. It was probably even worse than my o' level chinese orals. Stutter, stammer, stare at the ground, mispronounce, can't even read the damn words, etc. It was horrible. Most probably the worst few minutes of my entire life in sajc were spent standing there. Never felt like such a hopeless loser until then. Ugh...
So there, the highlight of my week.
