hi all, i've just dined. it probably is gonna take me a while to digest all the junk i've consumed. that's definitely not how healthy living goes.


i spoke to a mate a while before my dinner. we talked, or rather lamented about the general paper (gp). he's been flunking his gp, so have i. so what exactly is the problem? according to him, his tutor found his arguments unacceptable because they were too original and creative. well, i always thought a good essay is one that is idiosyncratic to oneself and well..new(word bank's draining)! paradoxically, this is what gp education, or generally eduction is not looking for. in gp, we are expected to write in a manner that is logical(i guess this isnt contentious), CONVENTIONAL and mundane. examples required are those from mindless news. in fact, we arent really arguing. we are just stating/regurgitating what the majority might potentially argue or have contended before. then, i've raised this to my tutor(just as an equiry because this isn't going to change overnight for people like you and i who're right under the roof top of education conformity), and i believe so might have some of those out there. the replies would have been: this is just how the system works or if you wanna your A, write in the GPish way. very well then, friend(the one mentioned above), i guess we've just gotta adapt and start getting our As back. that route begins with...passing gp.



i liked today. i was out with ivanho in the afternoon revising for block tests. for two guys, we talked a lot. frankly, i've truly enjoyed his companionship. some cool photos to share:

well guys, that's about all. oh i plan to change the way i blog. the way i've been blogging has been really casual. it's about time to the style, but it'll be a gradual process.

psychedelically yours(i'll just end off with my blog header if i havent got any discreet things to address)
