No remorse.
Sunday, July 1, 2007
Some events of note the past few days:
We went to play pool, which is becoming something of a tradition during holidays.
Form teacher: "And so, Thursday and Friday will be holiday due to staff training."
Julian: *face brightens up* "Eh Cheng Han, want to pool?"
Cheng Han aka Leech: *face brightens up in the exact same way as Julian* "Ya ok! Call everyone else!"
Julian: "Eh Ivan you free?"
Ivan: "I'm always free." - This is actually a fact. People say I'm busy playing, but usually thats bullshit. I'm always free to go out to play etc. Of course this is subject to my lovely parents giving their oh-so-powerful permission. But this shows that I am rather sad because of the fact that I'm always free. Oh well =/
Went for our DMP module, which is to learn 3D modelling and animation with Maya. I give up.
The lovely module gave me a headache on my very first lesson. The way they can do things is interesting, yea sure. DOING the bloody thing is a pain in the ass. I don't want to elaborate further, or else I would be reminded of this scar in my ass which will remain forever. Ten more weeks to go, yay!
Oh and I am downloading Maya using torrent LOL. Watermark gone FTW (Y)
And then this is about today, oh wait yesterday -.- As I am writing this post, it is 3.15 am in the morning. Oh well normal time for me I guess.
Zhihe, Jon Gan, Chee Yang, and I went to build our Greenwave project prototype. Jason did not come because of competition.
Jon Gan, Chee Yang and I got into the school by climbing over the school gate because we were lazy to walk one big round to get to the main entrance. Then we went into the seminar room through the window, sneaking all the time to make sure nobody was looking. At this time I am pretty sure. My future job: ninja.
Anyway we built a prototype thing. And well as expected of the Dark League, we failed lol. So we spotted this hamster cage thing that would have worked well with our prototype. Therefore we put the two together, and voila it was working quite okay.
Then, tragedy struck.
The boys from the other seminar room where we got the hamster cage from came to tell us that that was their hamster cage. We were all going "Shit shit, what shall we do? Should we pay them? Run away? How? How?! HOW?!?!" So we were basically quite panicky, especially Jon Gan, because he probably had the greatest conscience among us. So we offered to pay those guys in the end.
Tragedy No. 2 struck.
They explained to us that it was not being used, because the hamster in it actually died, so they were keeping it as a memento. Even my heart of bloody titanium was kind of dented abit by that. That hamster cage was priceless, but we just scavenged it for our project.
Imagine this:
You are dead. You are buried underground, with a gravestone above you. Somebody comes along and says, "Hey isn't that a marble gravestone? That's expensive man! Let's take it!" And they proceed to smash up your gravestone so they can take the marble. Damn... that hurts.
Then the boys said it was okay in the end, so we went away while apologizing. Afterwards, Jon Gan was going on about this remorse thing, and it was really kind of bad for us to do such a thing. Then he went on to say that assassins are stronger mentally rather than physically because they can kill WITHOUT REMORSE.
Strangely, at that point in time, everyone was kind of feeling remorseful except me. I was actually telling Jon Gan to feel no remorse, otherwise we will just keep getting dragged back by that. Which further substantiates my point. My future job: ninja.
Well, it is indeed sad what we did, but what's done is done. Call me an asshole or whatever, but it's actually a blessing in disguise that we took the cage, because then the boys would be able to move on without missing the hamster. Strictly my opinion though, others might think otherwise. I don't know.
Anyway let's just hope that their sacrifice was worth it, and our project would be a success. As much of an asshole as I am, I still want to say sorry for what we did, which was inexcusable.
*switches tempo*
Floor hockey training was held today as well, with the usual drills. But we actually had a soccer game as a warmup. Damn I LOVE this. We are actually getting CIP hours, and helping these children to train them up, while simultaneously doing something that we love very much - both soccer and floor hockey of course.
Everyone was lively, everyone was excited, and I think everyone had fun. And if everyone is having fun, then I say that the goal is accomplished. I hope everyone will have fun next week as well!
Anyway let's end this marathon blogpost off with a picture that I took from the seminar room.

It was actually Raffles Got Talent, but I kind of peeled off part of the G so it read Raffles CoT* Talent. It seems cooler this way, and gets rid of the broken English. Works well both ways, don't you think?
*If you do not know what CoT is, then it is not for you to know. Heh.
ivan fed the world.
