I don't think I'm in a mood for studying at all after two completely uneventful days which She-Who-Must-Burn-In-Hell has mercilessly engage us in. (Note to Candilam, froggie: The school new block (not the Annex) is linking up with the main building. As such, the walls between the new block and the second staircase would be demolished and pathways contructed. Result: No lessons.)

Yesterday
The Day After Tomorrow was aired in the hall. Form threes, fours and sixes filled the hall - heads stuck up in every single chair. Moved to the floor and blocked the central hallway. TDAT = absolute rubbish. If I didn't have to submit a movie review, I would have treasure the time and got some beauty sleep. After a 30-minute break, we were back for the behind-the-scenes. I couldn't bear watching the director, who was also the screen playwright, who was also the creator of the story doing an almost-monologue on the screen. Honestly, I have never seen a movie worse than this. Even the behind-the-scenes - supposed to be the most entertaining - was a bore. How good could this be?

That brought us to 12 pm.

After lunch we had to do the movie review. I was so merciful that I wrote I liked the special effects (which I don't find fascinating at all). My English teacher, also my form mistress, may have chosen the dvd. I didn't want to piss her off, possibly causing her to bad-mouth me in Parents' Day.

Today
A metro radio creative director (Chan siu chee), also a past student, came and gave us a lecture on careers development. I couldn't get much out of her other than how to be a DJ and DJ interview tips. I admired her excellent voice though and her courage to stand there to do a humourous monologue for 2 whole hours. I believe I was being entertained.

Next was a talk concerning energy saving given by a middle-aged man from the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, which I have almost no memory of, because presumably, I dozed off.

After lunch we have another environment talk. I wasn't sure where this lady came from. She was loud and she had this irritating accent that somehow delayed my dozing-off. She talked about the green school and award and something else like LPG. I would recommend using cantonese. In that way I could have gotten asleep sooner. The highlight of the talk was the Q & A sessions. She was giving out cushions for your wrist to lie on when you use the mouse. I'm not even sure what that is called in cantonese. But whatever. People, including me, were eager to get one. So everyone was excited and waved to answer the questions. It was a complete turn-off when my friend got one and I got to get a closer look at it. Both Yu ma and I lost our last and least intention to raise our hands.

My time deserved to be used in a better way than this.


Do you realise I keep complaining about life?

My old weblog
I have three words to describe it - messy, messy messy! This is why I'm starting a new one!
