lol. kristy is such a 'foooool'. heheh. she wrote an entry but didn't publish it. she saved it as a draft. so being the kind beautiful soul that i am, i decided to publish it for her! (many apologies if it wasn't meant to be published, but i saw no reason not to.)
next time you want to post something, it's the orange button. lol.
haven't been blogging here for a while now :( aww. i feel swamped over by the math test. and over at my class blog, we were actually nostalgic that this would be our last ever test in ny. :( come to think of it, it is very depressing. throughout four years, we thought those dreaded drats of tests would never end, but now that the last one is coming up... shrug. i don't know.
i hope tomorrow won't be a leng chang, even though we're just the student helpers and such. and let's 'hope/pray' together for huiyu to be able to miao her darling. then june must remember to bring shades for me! :D yay. the movie tomorrow's cancelled --- it's really too troublesome to meet i guess. what with cinemas being filled to the brim. i'm just scared it ends up a replica of monday. boo!
hmm. in the book talk that wen ting deluded herself to be interesting (actually it was not bad just that i was feeling fidgety and restless on the top step in lt1), the taiwan writer touched on the issue of world poverty. though he didn't force-feed us with solutions like donate donate donate! or even embed guilt in us, i felt that he should have. because, many people especially the youths in singapore are too sheltered for their own good. it really takes something of immense magnitude to make us sit up and stare. the less fortunate -- which interpreted simply means we are where we are, who we are just because we were lucky and born into the right homes, met the right people, established the right connections. basically, struck gold.
it seems funny how people preach for social equality and yet have double standards for it. what does it mean? does it mean that all the neighbours down your row of houses or in your hdb block earn the same amount every month? social equality is not a faraway ideal, it is a non-existent ideal. as long as humans continue to be greedy (it's in human nature), there will never come a day where there is social equality and no world poverty.
the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer.
when i grow up, i'm going to fix that.
-wai yee-
