DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO WHEN WE FINISH OUR A LEVELS/V.C.E/WHATEVER EXAMS THAT WOULD SECURE OUR FUTURE?
With the economic recession and no light at the end this dark,dark dark tunnel, The renting cost of castles in Ireland has fallen dramatically due to a low demand and oversupply(this is due to the fact the winds haven't done enough of knocking castles down. Plus, the walls are starting to ooze green slime.)
We should rent a castle and battle fairies,unicorns,zombies,hormones and the apocalypse while doing a cross cultural event of sorts.
IS THAT NOT THE BEST IDEA EVER.

School is fun.
Must remember to stop being geeky and replying that the best part of school is lessons.
It is simply not done.

To Bag: Is to make fun of
To Wag:To pon
New lingo that I'm slowly picking up but not using because let's face it, I never did pick up the Singapore one either. This has attracted flak from the general public.
Me:What is our attire for tomorrow?
The General Public:-is agahst- You don't say attire. Attire is so formal! You can say what are we wearing tomorrow.
Have also picked up a habit of asking "How was your weekend." and then actually answering the same question (so far my answers have been nothing spectacular)
This used to be a rhetorical question, asked with a wry smile and an ironic gleam.
A satisfactory reply would have been an eyeroll and then "Did you finish the chemistry/biology/math homework?"
No,nothing makes sense anymore.

Me:...but it's genetically impossible for Asians to have blue eyes!
Sri Lankan Dude:Isn't that being racist to your own race?
And during class
Teacher:-holding up a piece of good work-...and you have to put in that much effort to get a good grade.
Asian Dude:What grade did he get?
Teacher:An A+
Asian Dude:That's like an Asian A.
Reflectionwise
"Does growing old daunt you?"
An innocent (or not so, you can never tell) question thrown to the middle-ager but all the same, there is never quite a time as being 16-years old.
Not quite jaded, still room for mistakes. Standing on the cusp of adult-hood, leaning over but not falling in. There is still purpose in rebellion even for the most frivolous of reasons (no, I'm not putting the hair out of my eye.)
Everything is intensified, overblown and OMG-worthy. Emotions explode implode, sideways,slantways and always.
"想当年..."
No one has the same story of youth(unless you're a Meg Cabot novel.).
Otherwise
While it is always best to believe in yourself, a little help from others can be a huge blessing
