Just when I thought I had run out of things to blog about, fate (or Ka as Roland Deschain would say) throws me two unnerving and interesting bus rides to spice up my life.
On-board 197, there was this man, of age 40-50 I guess, who kept on whistling the tune of birds intermittently. I thought it was okay at first, but when you have to stay on a bus for 30 minutes for more, it becomes not okay. If I were the Bus Uncle, I might have gone up to his face and bellowed “I have stress, you have stress so why are whistling?”
Next came 21, dubbed the Ghost Bus. I went up the bus to find a scene right out of a movie; it was like the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean I” when the captain of the Black Pearl told Elizabeth to start believing in ghost stories because she was in one; basically, it felt like a ghost story – save for the atmosphere. The lights of the bus were flickering and went out intermittently (note the intermittent events that keep happening).
Stolen from Shi Yun:
slacker (lvl1) – do nothing, never listen in lecture, flip notes before exam
smart slacker (lvl1.5) – similar to slacker, but somehow does irritatingly well in everything, hated by lvl 2, 3, 4 and 5. otherwise termed ‘closet mugger’, ‘secret mugger’, ‘damn gay guy’ (according to VS ppl), ‘smart as*’ etc. etc.
normal (lvl 2) – sometimes do tutorial, sometimes never do, will study a bit before exams.
mugger (lvl3) – will do tutorial, die die will study by doing tys, 100% study like siao before exams
super mugger (lvl 4) – confirm do tutorial & tys & past-year exam papers of your school, study like no tmr for exams. (ie. sleep max 4hrs/day. mug during break. turn down all movie/outing invitations to stay at home to mug. mug in the toilet, during meals, on the bus, and even dream about maths when you are sleeping)
ultimate mugger (lvl 5 = highest lvl attainable, for now, until i think of what other stuff an ultimate mugger can do…) – do tutorials and tys and past year papers a few times until you can memorise the qn and get full marks, still 3 mths before ANY exam, by hook or by crook (ie. trade, buy, bribe, beg, steal etc. etc.) get other schools’ papers and THEIR past year papers and SOLUTIONS and NOTES etc. etc. then try everything and eventually write your own notes that comprises of EVERYTHING you need to know (includiung stuff that only has 1% chance of coming out in exams, examples – fully explained, tough problems and 5 possible solutions to each of them, must-have summary, and an essential content page cause the notes will be thicker than Sloman’s book ^^) to get 100% (not just A) for every subject (yes, including GP). Oh and btw, the ultimate mugger will guard his/her notes in a safe and won’t give anybody else his/her notes to ensure that he/she enjoys major ownage over the whole school. ^^ oh and max sleeping time is still 4 hours, but minimum is 0…
I guess I am at level 2…
To end off, Happy Birthday Mum!
