the martin story

random

hi world. haha. had the languages paper le.

english for me was super dramatic(surely is) or 'romantic' i would say. haha. perhaps no one could feel it my way.

alright. months ago.......(haha)
i just gotta know roy. it was the very first assignments in class. we were asked to form groups and write descriptive paragraphs, any topics. so being ke kiang i tried to write racism descriptively. haha. den roy came, and asked, '' Hm, what do you know about racism?''
'' In the States, there is this segregation of the blacks and whites in.....'' I was stuck. didn't know what to say
'' Heard of Martin Luther King?''
'' Sort of'' (I meant very minimal. haha. was still thinking i was smart enough)
He then taught me things about him, and i was impressed. haha. very.
he couldn't be in SIM studying Managing Literature, studied law.... for nothing. haha. rofl.

Then after a few days i sort of looked up Martin online due to inspiration. haha.

Then a few weeks before exams, he asked me to write discursive as he feels i should to as my writing style fits discursive. seriously, i couldn't believe i still doubt him. man, was i that bad.

paper day. 1. Alone- write it in a discursive essay. lol. total shock. i saw the other questions and they are super difficult to write. i wrote discursive not because of roy's comment, but because of choicelessness. then during my planning....i had this really clear flashback. MARTIN LUTHER KING. He stood alone to his belief. man. that was the breakthrough. i had ideas like history of Japan and stuff like these.... haha. and i wrote like never before. never been so happy after english papers.

haha. perhaps i couldn't express how i feel in words. i just feel lost positively.
now he's leaving in a few days' time. couldn't have missed him more.

chinese today. dun mention it again. woke it in a wrong note(dunno how many octaves away). had stomachache and this pain in the neck due to lousy sleeping positions i heard. argh! irritating. couldn't ignore the pain a second during the papers. i couldn't bend my neck down. so the whole time for both papers i was in very awkward positions. zz. but anyway, chinese paper 2 was surprisingly not that hard. i think its scorable if no careless mistake.

i just love school each day. after exams.
