for those who keep tellin me not to blog in chinese - click:
chieng不知不觉过了一个月。我在六月假期大部分没有什么休息到。只是在拼命地读BT2。很sian...
六月头一个星期,我去了济南:玩得非常开心。至少离开了新加坡,在那里我认识到了一群很友善的中国朋友。其实,中国学生并非我们想象中的那么坏。我们虽然只在那间学校待短短两天,但是他们的热情却令我们很惊讶。他们似乎非常非常地欢迎我们到他们学校参观,了解他们学校的上课情形。很乐于和我们交朋友。在中国,汽水比啤酒还要贵,但他们还是不吝啬地请我们喝。我们第二天要离开的时候,他们也把他们最珍惜的东西送给我们当作见面礼。我收到了一本记事簿。听说那是他们那一班以前赢了比赛后得到的奖。他们自己不舍得用却送给了我们。看到他们那么的友善,自己感到惭愧。试想如果这些学生到了新加坡,我们新加坡学生又会以什么样的眼光看待他们呢?是瞧不起他们吗?
我也认识几位一起参加这次旅游的学生。比起去年,这团队的学生彼此之间较少陌生感。大家都相处得很好,一路上有说有笑的。回来新加坡后,我们还是有出去看电影啦、吃饭等。
玩了一个星期后,我恶梦开始了。接下来的三个星期,我几乎每天都到捷恩家读书。幸好还有玩一些羽毛球,篮球之类的,不然实在很无聊。我花了两个星期读物理。我也不知怎么搞的,花了那么久的时间读物理。自然的,我已较少的时间读完化学、数学和经济。我没心情读书,但我一想到时间不多了,BT2 就在几天后,况且BT2后又未必有时间再温习这些内容,我就苦读。
偏偏就在这几个星期内,发生了一连串不愉快的事。我离开了城市丰收,跟朋友有争执。我不是在指那些因为琐碎的小事而你争我打,而是牵连到一大堆东西的问题,我过去,我经历过的事。虽然当时在别人面前我装着没事,但我很难受。我很烦。我已经有考试得应付了,我为什么在这个时候还要管这些问题?我尝试搁置它们,但没用。我读书的当儿,它就偏偏浮在我脑海中。强颜欢笑不是一件好玩的事。在面对这些问题时,我不能跟任何人诉苦。因为谁知道了也帮了我,知道了也未必是件好事,反而把事情弄得更复杂、更那难堪。
我被我的孤寂淹没了。我这几天的情绪很不稳定。时不时就发脾气。一下子开心,一下子忧愁。我控制不了我情绪。你讲我pms也好,mood swing也好,可是我真的控制不了。我也不想啊!谁不想开开心心过日子?谁不想无论遇到什么问题都往好的方面去想?我很想找人讲话但谁那么得空?我又要谈什么?我能说什么?还不是那些无谓的事,"How's your block test results?", "What are we doing for tutorial tmr?", "Why you look in a daze?", "What's the next lesson?" 这些问题你听了觉得熟悉吗?我讲话离不开这些话题,在讲废话。我前几天虽然十一点多就睡但我还是很累。请你,请你千万不要因为读了这些后,突然开始对我说话,还是打电话或什么的。That's not what I want. 我只不过在尝试发泄罢了。
One month has passed, I spent most of my time in the June hols just studying like mad... very sian.
First week of june, i went to jinan for a tour, a holiday of some sort. Had lots of fun there, at least i was away from singapore. away from all the crap. There I made quite a few chinese friends who were very friendly. I realised they don't really fit the stereotypes we assume of them. Although it was just a 2-day visit, but they really treated us very well. It was as if we were very very important guests. And they were very eager to show us their school campus and school life there. They were very eager to befriend us. In china, soft drinks are more expensive than beer. Even so, they still treated us soft drinks during meals. When we were leaving, there was a gift exchange. They gave us something that was very important/precious to them. I received a notebook. I heard that it was actually won by the class in a competition. The whole class didn't bear to use it. But yet they gave it to us. Seeing how friendly they are, i feel awkward. I realise that if these people were actually in Singapore, i cannot imagine the stares they will get.. or how people will despise them etc...
The group of students on this tour, compared to last year, were more friendly. Everyone hit off quite well, this made the trip pretty enjoyable. Even after returning to Singapore, we still have some outings to watch movie, and eat.
After all the fun, my nightmare began. The following 3 weeks were basically spent at Moses' house studying. At least we played a bit of badminton and basketball, or else it would really be very dreadful. I spent 2 weeks studying physics. I don't know why but i actually took such a long time to study physics... This obviously meant that i spent much lesser time on chem, maths and econs... I really was in no mood to study... but the thought that bt2 was in just a few days time scared me. I realised there wasnt much time after bt2 to go through these topics in again. I just force myself to...
These few weeks weren't exactly very fun. I left City Harvest, and so-called quarrel with a friend. I'm not talking about trival matters that spark off quarrels... but those that have many implications, about my past, what happened to me. I tried to put on a front, but i am very frustrated. I don't understand why i have to deal with all this when i cant even handle my exams. I tried to put them aside, but they just keep popping back into my head. Putting on a happy front isn't fun. i cant tell anyone... cause no one can help me... the more people know, the more complicated the issue becomes... the more awkward it becomes...
i am overwhelmed. i am getting very impatient. My mood fluctuates like mad. i flare up easily. i can be happy a moment, and sad the next. i cant get a hold of myself. u can say i having pms, or mood swing, or whatever, but i din ask for it.. k... i just want a happy life... be positive about everything.. but i barely can... i wan to talk to someone but who? who's so free? even if there is, what am i to tok about? all the time i just ask stupid qns like "how's your block test results?, "what are we doing for tut tmr?", "why you look in a daze?", "what's the next lesson?" i find myself toking rubbish... for the past few days i've been sleeping at about 11 but i still feel tired... pls dun suddenly tok to me, or call me after reading this... that's not what i want... i'm just trying to vent my feelings... if it helps...
