Lets see... i'm me, i'm Boon. Stop mistaking me for bryan, people, our talking methods are world's apart.
To put it practically, i have retained my place in my big family of uncles and aunties.Getting 14 points was a good thing, they were all calling me and praising me to high heavens. After all.. my paternal cousin got 21 points for L1R5, while the older one went ITE. So even if i suck outside in the real world, i'm like the best in my family. Its always good to hear relatives praise you over something so insignificant... makes you laugh at them, and feel good about yourself.
As for my maternal side cousin, HooHah, i beat her too.. she got 19 points. Her mother was pretty snobbish at first. Saying her daughter can reach VJC, but i told her: "we'll see".. and, we finally saw it.
Its really pretty sad that bryan's blog is frequented by 2 people most of the time. I never fail to switch on my com every morning, even when my nose is has some trickling mucus on it... like now.
Joke of the week. lee hak boon (CHS principal) was like trolling over how bad we have done for O levels. saying that we are the worst of our time. Hell, he even say that some of us might feel sad after getting the results. What kind of principal says that? And.. when the results came out, everyone was jumping around, with a joker's expression on their faces, WE ARE HAPPY, DAMMIT. You should have seen hak boon's face when he totally expected a cold and sad aftermath.
Joke of the year 2005. Art is never a good subject to take. I'll tell ya why, its heavy in politics, stuff like biasness, favourism, cheating gets out of hand in there. CHS employed an old hag of doom, who remarkably claimed herself as the "walking batik expert" If you don't know batik, it is some sort of design done on silk in Malay tradition. This old hag charged extensively, about 200 to 300 bucks a person. And she adores marcus huang, my self-proclaimed biatchy rival. God knows what actually happen between both of them *snigger* There are a total of 4 students in the entire art class, other than me and marcus, you do not have to worry about the details of the other 2 yet. You see, this batik expert taught CHS last year's batch of 7 sec4 art students and they ALL did batik, and they ALL got A1, so she starts to shoot her mouth off like nobody's business. We, the new students suffered in her new-found pride. She goes like: "do batik and get A1, do anything else and you die". Fine. Whatever.
It become decided later. 3 students will do batik, 1 will do painting, and yes, marcus got the painting, since she said she have "incredible confidence in dear marcus in producing a perfect painting" fine, i accept it, marcus WAS after all good in painting. But why the hell do i have to do batik, i opted out, but she screwed me in the face: "Jeremiah, if you don't do batik, there is nothing else you can do" Great, so now i'm some useless art student who can't even hold a freakin pencil? I told her i didn't care and i wanna do painting. So she gave in.
In case you haven't known, she gives us the ideas. She gave marcus a splendid chinese opera suggestion and got that ass workin right away. She gave the other 2 batik opinions and they work up too. She gave me nothing(!) and said she have to figure out what i'm going to draw first so she ask me to go home and think about it too. i thought about ideas, lots of them, but they got rejected, everyone of them, said they were too childish, too simple, fine, but her ideas were worse off. She said " Get a camera, take a picture of the students running at the track and paint it, you are done" GREAT IDEA, huh? stupid old hag.
Our project started on april or may, for the time period of may to august, i did nothing, i got nowhere, i just kept drawing hoping i find something, but nothing, she changed my idea to handicapped youths, then to handicapped elderly, then to retarded youths. For christ sake, i almost became retarded myself. I was almost going to get my ass handed to me when she said, "you are hopeless, jeremiah, just draw and hand it up, i don't care." Hopeless indeed, i threw a tantrum, told the official art teacher that i'm not coming back to this class anymore but i will continue the painting, I took all my stuff home, including the bulky canvas board. You know what, my father is prolly the best art guy around, he's ranked a frickin' 1st in Nanyang academy of fine arts in his year. He became my teacher at home, and we sat down every night to discuss of a whole new idea. I got to work and everyday, after school, i rushed home to paint till 11.00 at night. I ain't complaining, its my home and i can grab a drink while painting, listen to some songs and stuff. So it's cool.
Its not bragging, but perhaps i should let people who know me, know me more, my parents first met in nanyang academy of fine arts, and i have not attended one freakin art school before. I was just given a bunch of papers everyday when i was in Kindergarden when i had nothing to do, i drew power rangers, then batman, then Predator and alien, then i drew my parents. i even tried to win a girl's heart during kindergarden by drawing her a PINK ranger. Sure enough, she allowed me to kiss her forehead, but i don't know where the heck she is now. I'm not lying, seriously. I'm confident to say that i got my parents genes.
And so, i painted up the final painting and submitted it, 2 batik, 2 paintings in my art class. And the cream of the joke... O level results came out and we were shown a slide before getting the results back. 50% distinction in ART, 100% passes. meaning only 2 got A1. Turns out that me and marcus were the ones, the other 2 casulties of the old hag's ignorance and stupidity did not get an A1. meaning they have wasted time on it. Why? batik is incredibly difficult and requires a hell lot of time. Try painting a cloth with hot wax, you will prolly cry and get a backache since you can't move too much or the wax might go all over the place.
That why, i would be exciting to see her stupid face if she knows her batik just failed to net an A1, walking batik expert indeed, old hag. And her judgement of me being hopeless was obviously wrong, she honestly didn't know who she was up against, i can tell ya that. My 2 years in art elective was a horrible one, any advice to those who plan to take art in JC or secondary, think again, its not just about drawing and handin' it up, there's more to it.. Much, much more...
