We had the council election speeches today... I brought along a friendship bracelet to do inthe hall, but the teachers began a crackdown on the people not paying attention to the speeches, so I decided not to risk it... sigh... there went another oppourunity to do something like that... Mainly, all the IP speeches were good... esp Keith and Andre. Call me biased... I don't care...Keith sang "Lean on Me" and he was damn good... I didn't know he could sing that well. Andre's speech was, well, typical Andre. But it was good, pretty motivational... I'm still trying to find the right term for it. As for the J1 debators who were running, they were pretty good as well... must have been all those debate sessions, huh? About 85% of the rest sucked. Especially one batch... but I shan't mention which. Lots of people did a William Hung impersonation, which wasn't very impressive... especially since it was cliched, some others sang... which was either very good or very bad. Btw, Aqilah did a wonderful job whacking those candidates. :P:P:P she was one of the few reasons why I didn't skip the rest of the speeches... cos I wanted to see how she'd deal out her next whacks... :D Anyway, I wrote the following poem during a bad stretch of timewhere I felt there were hardly any good campaigners:
I'm bored. It's true.
You're all putting me to sleep
I'm tired, trying to decide, which candidates to keep
Please tell me very honestly
is this all a joke?
Cos from the way it's sounding
This election's all a joke.
True enough there's some of you
Who are rather good.
But these are diamonds and brilliant gems
Few and far between
You can't sing and you can't dance
You certainly can't speak
So in the words of Simon Cowell
What have you got to say?
The 34th council of NJ
Is doomed to bits I think
And so unless by some freak miracle
This impression will not change.
After that I had to dash around school first for the tour guide breifing for tomorrow's IP preview, then to print out and rectify the flyer for Germna, also for tomorrow's preview. Then I had to go off to ACJC for the finals of the B and C div finals and prize presentation. UWC won the B-div championship tittle... I think they deserved it... they were up against st Nick's... There's just something about those st. Nick's debators that just puts me off... I don't know what it is... they seem nice enough, so it just seems unfounded. Wei Ge was tied for 10th place with some other Crescent debator, and we all got a tiny little trophy... somehow, despite what everyone says, i don't think I even deserved it... cos I didn't even speak once... ah well, I'll just take stuff as they come...
After the whole thing, I went off with Alex and Annbel to Holland V for dinner. And my parents had to call up just as we reached there that they were coming to pick me up. Typical. And then they scolded me for not prioritizing my stuff properly... cos I told them that I have to train for track and field meet with my other classmates... and stuff like that... allthe evils of missing maths tuition and chinese tuition came up... so the long and short of it is that I can't rain this weekend, and I don't even think they'll let me watch next week's A div debate finals.... Sorry Alex... :P
I'm really starting to feel that there's this rift growing between me and my parents... I know that they want to do what's best for me... it was ok last year and the many years before that... but since I've been going out after all the debate stuff they start nagging me about my priorities inlife... blah blah... and they're kind of starting to stifle me and think I haven't really grown up yet and can't be trusted... maybe I can't but still... they won't stop treating me as a 12 year old... it's really sad, cos I hate disagreeing and arguing with the ones I love, especially when its my parents... and most of the time, I'm starting to feel emotionally drained and tired trying to make myself maintain my grade, and keep peace with my parents.... and I've been tired this wek esp when ultra-hyper Annabel is around :P:P:P... anyway, I'll keep this in mind:
Wherever you are
Whatever you do,
the fact is there, pure and simple
My hand will cover you.
-God
PS: that wasn't a direct quote from Him.... that was what I came up with, with, of course, guidance from Him :P
