And so, I really died with regards to one of the three subjects which was returned.
English, Physics, Geography... which of them seemed like the subject which would totally pwn my ass off? If you know me well enough, or even if you don't know me that well, you can probably see one of the three subjects sticking out like a sore thumb, and indeed it is lucky contestant number 2, Physics.
Score? 37/80, which pulled my initial Physics GPA of 3.6 (I was actually rather shocked at this) to 2.8, and bringing me down quite a bit. But its not the pulling down of the overall that makes me sad. With regards to my classmates 99% of the time they become sad because of the overall being pulled down (i.e. Jon Gan, who got sad because he HYPOTHESIZED that there would be moderation and because he minus one mark he won't get to the next grade -.-), but for me it's a sort of different case. My overall GPA can go to hell for all I care, but a red mark in my APR doesn't look good, and obviously I don't like it.
I have never gotten such a red mark before on any of my APRs over the four years, and I do not like it to have started at Secondary 4. It marks an ominous beginning to JC life, and of course it's not exactly pleasing to my parents. Which is why I feel sad. However, mistakes have already been committed and there is nothing that I can do to change these mistakes, so in the Spirit of Ivan™, I shall look forward to the future... with no Physics. LOL.
Yea, I'm probably going to drop Physics. I seriously suck at it -.-
Oh, and if they moderate the Physics marks, they better moderate the EOY marks and not the overall. This way I can actually avoid a red mark and make things look all fine and dandy :)
On to the next issue, it's something totally random but it struck me as a rather pertinent issue, which is rather disgusting. JQ and I were taking the bus home one day and then this old man comes along to sit next to this moderately attractive RJC girl and he was shifting his eyes like as if he had Parkinson's disease in the eyes. So JQ and I laughed like shit as we were observing from behind how this old man was desperately trying to get a good look of the girl. Pity the girl though, it's quite a sad case to be ogled at by old men on the bus and not by real men of her age.
Anyway, I shrugged it off as a one-time case. But as time went on, I realised that such things were actually happening pretty often. Such as today. This old man had this super perverted face as he chose to sit next to this attractive lady in front of me (why does everything happen in front of me -.-) instead of some blatantly vacant seats. Yea, and you can guess what was going on. To make things worse, ANOTHER old man sitting in front of the lady turned around to stare. And not stare like as if he was preparing to turn his head around the moment the lady looked up, but stared like a BISHAN GAY. For at least I swear to God 5-10 seconds he was just looking at her and examining all her body features. Even though I am a male myself and I understand such tendencies to want to look at attractive people, sometimes we do have to place ourselves in their shoes and think about how they feel at the incessant ogling taking place. Even from my position I kind of sympathize with them, and seriously it does seem quite disgusting to me to ogle. I mean a glance or a look is fine, but STARING. Holy shit that's gone abit overboard already.
ivan fed the world.
