just a few more days before i head back to sch. sigh, how exciting. after just two weeks of idling around and not speaking much french, i think i have degenerated in most senses of e word.
isnt it amazing how time flies when ure having fun, or rather, when ure on hols? i hate the fact that all too soon, i wld have to get back to studying. argh, its just loathsome beyond words. and to make things worse, i cant seem to find e discipline to mug as hard as i ought to.
i thought that i cld put e hols to gd use, during which i planned to cram and mull over stuff tt require attention; but i ended up having more activities than expected. when e 3rd grp of sporeans left early last week, i cleared up some work and studied a little. thankfully so, as after that , i didnt touch my notes for 1 whole week. i had a blast of a time tho, so theres no regret. it was sybaritic to watch a french play and final dest 3 ( 10 euros down e drain wth), club, shop, booze and eat well for 7 days straight. but now, as i feel the need to tighten the purse strings, and the need to loosen the jeans, its all i cld do to counter the hollow empty feeling and the woeful realisation that its time to plummet back to earth again.
it was just 4 months ago when i pined away for e comforts of home,family and friends. and by divine intervention, i must say that ive settled down so much better now that i begin to appreciate studying here. sure, the lazy bastards of the french can annoy e hell out of me with their retarded penchant for strikes, and of coz, the lack of constant (sporean) company can really drain me emotionally at times. but when push comes to a shove, u wld just kick and keep ur head above the water, unless ure made of tofu or smth. i recall commenting months ago that no matter what, sporeans wld always be e ppl to fall back on when ure overseas, or smth to that effect. of course, its comforting to know tat they wld always be there when u need to speak singlish, and wat can beat the tacit understanding that all sporeans love, and are willing to go in search of gd food? i dunno if im any closer to eating my words now, but having gone out a lot more with a french/dutch friend recently and another norwegian/danish friend the past few days, i realise that e foreigners/caucasians are not that bad after all. ive not had much serious heart-to-heart talk over here, and thus i was very surprised and gratified that i cld engage in intellectual stimulation till e wee hours of e morn when e danish guy stayed over. it felt surreal to chat about everything, ranging from issues in the spiritual and social arena to mental, emotional and personal spheres. somehow, it makes me relook at circumstances from a different angle, and i appreciate at times, the advantages of taking the road less travelled. i think id be more willing to hang out more with the american/italian/mexican bunch now, instead of coming up with excuses not to go out with them. sadly, all these ppl wld not be staying here as long as i do.
ive actually meant for this post to be a mild one, but just chatting with this asshole at the same time on msn has managed to draw my ire and made me so fucking mad rite now. and so im gunning for a no-holds-barred diatribe rite here. simmer in heat silently? forget it.
bloody pharquer, you have quite some cheek i must say. firstly, i think im doing u a favour by putting u up when u wanna come to paris. but dun think i do not notice that tts e only reason why u sent ur 1st virginal msg to me. message me only when u want me to help u eh? balls to u understand. now, im not one who wld reject u outright, no matter how inconvenienced i wld be. but, bearing in mind the fact that ure one huge lumbering jackass who's asking to impose upon me, you shld jolly well have the decency to play e niceties game at least, even tho i can see thru your pathetic efforts at making small talk and enquiring about my well-being here. fuck u understand. i wasnt born yesterday, and u, cheapskate of a cuntface, shld have known better than to run me down with talk of your superior london education. so you think that that all tt ive mentioned was just a rehash of being sour-fruits at not being able to study in e uk? fine by me, u dickhead of an anglophile. if u wanna be so blindly loyal, go ahead. and if france is so pathetic in ur eyes, why bother to come visit? just stay in ur london,with ur eyesore of a big ben, ur krispy kremes and harrods, ur picadilly circus, westminster abbey, leicester square and oxford street and bond street and watever fuck shit u have. go fuckternise with ur whole gang of red-haired freckled british yobs with that fugly pallor and just stuff urself silly with ur high tea and scones,fish and chips and pork pies. and oh, dun forget the stiff upper lip alrite? while ure at it, enrobe urself in burberry's and gambol around ur oh-so-high-and-mighty fuckingham palace. perhaps u might be knighted by queenie eliz herself!! oooh, isnt it exciting to be among the ranks of sir elton john and mick jagger?? but pls, do remember to switch ur sporean accent to that phony british one tt positively reminds me of poseurs of yesteryears.
and yes, u do think the world of IC and UOLs. sure, go ahead and think that, no one's stopping u.but i draw the line when u keep comparing the french and english system. sure, the uk's education system is reknown and 'cool' by ur own words, but while e french counterpart might pale in comparison in the popularity charts, it doesnt translate into a lack of academic rigour. getting into IC doesnt mean ure so smart or anything ok? its not difficult to gain entry into top uk unis save for oxbridge. going by statistics, in e history of psc and other scholars studyin in france since e 1970s, only abt 5 managed to gain entry into the top grandes ecoles. compare that to the truckloads of sporeans gaining entry into IC and other UOLs, surely that says smth? u may say that the french system is old and too difficult, fine by me, but bring a uk-trained engineer and french one to the test, wld e latter necessarily lose out? and if spore weren't formerly a britsh colony, and if we hadnt adopt the british education system, we might be talking abt another playing field entirely. that english is increasingly becoming the lingua franca is just an opportune wave that comes along now, and one that english-speaking countries have the luck to ride on... know ur limits, asshole, if not u can start looking around for cheap accom. i do not owe u anything..
Raunchy!!! I like!! haha :)
