I shall try once my teaching's done on May 10.

The Man in the Glass

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
and the world makes you king for a day.
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
and see what that man has to say.

For it isn’t your father or mother or wife
whose judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
is the one staring back from the glass.

You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
and think you’re a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eyes.

He’s the fellow to please — never mind all the rest,
For he’s with you clear to the end;
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

- The Man In The Glass, Peter Wimbrow

I saw Ankita like-ing this on someone's Facebook note.
I like it too.


My friend in the mirror used to smile most of the time.
But now, she's frowning silently.

Project What's After SPM

Check it out at http://www.whatsafterspm.blogspot.com/

It's a project to spread the word about the abundance of opportunities and things we can do after SPM, especially for people without internet access. A really good idea. They need people to help out though.

You can:

1. Write about what you've done after SPM. (Extended Deadline: 30 April 2009)

2. Contribute some money.

3. Volunteer to help translate into Malay/Chinese. (Work starts after the English edition is done.)
4. Publicize it by telling your friends/seniors/ur uncle/aunty about it or forwarding it via email or posting it on your blog or spreading the word in your own creative way. ;)

I think I'll write in, later. Now busy. :(

Messed up

my mind is.




I have to organize my thoughts.

Articles I liked recently

• Interview with Jane Elliot

• The Disadvantages of an Elite Education

• Hannah Yeoh: The best is yet to come - Haha. So similar to ACJC's motto.
  

Equality essay rant

Edmund Burke said,
"The only thing necessary for the perpetuation of evil

is for good people to do nothing."

I'm tired of fixing my equality essay. It's rather idealistic, informative and unconvincing, slightly contradicting, and gaseous(new way of describing a not-so-good essay!). And to think that I've submitted it to USP already... Whatever lah. I'll leave that to chance.

In any case, while I was reading some racism kind of stuff, I found out about Jane Elliot. She introduced the blue/brown-eyes exercise which makes people experience what it's like to be on the inferior end of racism/male-ism(can't think of the word now).

I think I should read up more about racism and inequality stuff if I were to do a good equality essay. Sigh. Writing's not my thing lah.

Maybe after I'm done with letters to colleges, I'll do it.

For now, I've got my hands full.



Aiyo.. How am I gonna do many many essays when I enter uni later...
