Friday01.03.07Emptiness.The tense lull before a storm.The bored hush during a TSD alevel prelim. (think outside LT5)The sorrowful silence after the hurricane has swept through the village. (think 24)How many sounds of quiet are there?About as many as there are shapes of boredom, and then some.
Today, shutupping, i lifted my head from gas laws (which is definitely just as easy as it sounds, considering i couldn't study properly anyway) to note the TSDians around me. Soong Ming walked past (with the rest of the senior class) and asked me why we were all glued to the walls. lol. i realise a lot of people don't realise what we're doing. Yirui said he thought we were memorising lines for seniors, which was why we kept shushing them for concentration. Xiaoxian and nazri pointed out that there weren't any exams around that they could see and as a result it was really hard to know when to shutup. I suppose that's another problem/misunderstanding, yes, but considering the hell we go through to shut up outdoor spaces, i'm willing to take the risk. *thinks about the ip2s coming out of their classrooms to make calls and walk around and talk despite numerous warnings and requests against the very event* yeah. *thinks about grandjunior sprinting through charlotte's piece DESPITE red-and-white cordoning-off tape, TSD EXAMS PLEASE KEEP QUIET signs and numerous TSDians posted around the area to prevent such an occurance* *shudders* sometimes, juniors can honestly be so
dumb. or irritating. i know there're heaps of really nice juniors, the understanding, mature, non-clingy, accomplished onces, or even the kind headed straight for the top. (think althea, beau, june, amelia, fanglin...) it's just so irritating, that the rest put us all to shame. *cross*
anyway, my initial point was that there are many different shapes to boredom. every TSD junior in sight was in a different shape, but the only thing we were conveying was boredom. i could feel it radiating out of each other. we were almost glad when people walked by, making noise, so we'd have something to do. i KNOW Shut Up is really important, and i would kill my juniors if they didn't do a good job, but all the same it's boring. plus i forgot to bring my book, how dumb is THAT.
the good point about Shut Up is that you meet people you don't normally. besides an awful lot of (noisy) juniors, i saw charissa =) , the senior class (yonghong started to do his "laaaaauuuuraaaa" suan-ing before he got cut off by huge SHHHs from the roland and the entire Shut Up crew about 3 letters into the word LOL), yijin, michelle (say this really fast multiple times: one smart fella he felt smart. two smart fellas they felt smart), megan, nazri, nicole, yirui, shi tian, and a whole bunch of other people who have lectures in LT5. i hadn't seen charissa in ages. i miss our class! today cheryl lim was messaging yirui ;) about house comm stuff and i realised i havent talked to yirui in FOREVER! omg! haha mark too. and yeah just alot of people la. and then my phone ran out of battery so i couldn't follow up the impulse to mass sms everyone. lol.
and EQi rated my impulse control pretty high. hm, nicely done. (accordingly, i have problems sharing my thoughts and opinions and my participation in group discussions is limited as a result. now, would anyone like to second that?)
yay. have a gorgeous saturday you guys. i love you may jiaxin michelle michelle michelle christine! *hugs*
