Alrite, I've sorta done up the webpage a bit, but due to lack of practice, I can't do any really fancy stuff, yet... Wonder if the red looks too bright...

Aniwaez, juz earlier today, I got booked in skool for long hair. My teecher came and lecture me and told me to get a haircut. Sheesh, sometimes, I think the world is really too tight with rules! I mean, in so what if I have long hair? Everyone's free to choose what they want to do! Or are they? Hell, who cares? But then again, I do. I can ignore everything, but I can't ignore the fact that I am on scholarship, and I do have to give a damn in avoiding trouble.So I'm forced, to cut my hair, by this weekend, even though I've got my commontests coming up and I haven't started preparing...

Those pple juz wun listen to reason. And when you think you can get away when you grow up, you suddenly find that they are more rules to replace the older ones that have been lost. With freedom comes restrictions. You're free, but only becoz you are bounded by some rules. Give anyone too much freedom, next thing you know, he's broken the law, and he's in jail. Try to stay on an island, you are free, but yet you are bounded, by rules of survival and man, to feel lonely, to need civilisation and protection, and even if you get pass all that, eventually some explorer will find the island, and claim it, and pple will flock to it. Isn't nearly the whole world charted on maps already? Even a bird cannot be free forever, some day it will be shot by man, killed by predators, or grow tired and have to rest. No one can break lose from the chains of freedom, except maybe the occasional solitary wiseman, who have nothing, and desire nothing.

So what is freedom then? All that is left of freedom is an illusion, given to satisfy men's minds, to make them deluded and think they can do anything they want, and in so doing, be happy and ignorant. It is a tool. Maybe once, long time ago, there was real freedom, freedom to do anything you want, limited only by the laws of sciences and the scope of your imagination. But there is none now. All that is left is a ratrace for money and power. The very thing that men think will give them freedom will instead weigh them down and prevent them from acheiving the heights of freedom. Ironic isn't it? But perhaps that is better. Left to toy with one's own imagination with the power of absolute freedom, and given the current mentality of mankind, I shudder to think what will happen. Maybe some rules are to be followed after all, juz maybe. And maybe I shall cut my hair, if that way is better...

Well, here I am again, filling diz journal up, and I guess, it's a darn good way to rant and rave about the world... Whoever who created the song "Life is a rollercoaster" is obviously very wrong... It's much more exciting than that! The past 2 days haf given me more excitement and surprises to think about than I need to for the rest of the week. I mean, after getting past maths, I'm pounced on by surprise by my Physics teacher who wants to see our work... Surprisingly, despite numerous times of standing within a few inches of my 'empty' worksheet, she was blind to the fact that I did nothing. And as for Bio, once again, I survived unscathe...

Then comes today, the greatest surprise, or shock, hit me... I had my O Level CL Oral today and I din knoe it till diz morning!! It took me two periods to recover from initial shock, only to enter a state of semi-panic for the rest of the day. As I spent 2 hours waiting for my turn, we discussed on how the teacher would kill us, on how sadistic she looked, and maniacal her laugh was, and what topics would come out. We even went as far as to describe ourselves as knights of knowledge, off to another battle... All the while my stomach was flipping butterflies, and I bet even a triple turn coaster couldn't beat that. Now wouldn't you call that a harrowing experience?

"Life is a rollercoaster
Just gotta ride it"

Oh well, excitement is all around you, you juz hafta find it, so why bother with rollercoasters?
Cheers!!

Hmm... Interesting... Here I am, working hard at a webpage I know have no use at all except for personal amusement and public entertainment, and yet I conform... Must be that David... Oh well, today's the 1st day of skool, same old formalities, same old frenz, same old teechers, wat else could you ask for? Everything's the same, including the fact that i still haven't finished my homework, or started for that matter... I copied so hard last nite, wasted all the time of my last day of hols, and guess what? I still can't finish my work... Isn't that sho boring?

Sometimes, I think life is like an RPG with lotsa luck, coz now I'm past the 1st level, being fried by my maths teecher, and on to the next, being murdered by my bio teecher... Wonder how she'll do it... Hmm... Maybe she'll bore me to death, or tell corny jokes till I beg for mercy? What ever it is, the very thought makes me shudder, so much so that I dun feel like doing my work... Ok ok, I think that's all for my first entry, I gotta start planning for commontest, I haven't started preparing yet... YES, I KNOW, it's next week, but hey, I'm not called slacker for nothing right? Oh yar, I still gotta make up the 5 excuse letters I owe library and get 'em sign... Till next time!! If ever...
