Things I've Realised: Self-Interest

There are people in ACJC who don't clear their plates away from the canteen tables after they have finished their meals.

Other than showing off their laziness and utter lack of responsibility it also reveals something far more interesting.

These people are dumb.

When you leave plates with unfinished food out on the tables, it will attract all the wild untamed creatures that inhabit ACJC, such as pigeons, rats or even cockroaches. Do you want to be enjoying your lunch amidst bird droppings? Or perhaps to stare at the decaying remains of an insect while you dine? Maybe even watching a rodent scuttle by your plate of food?

I thought not.

Clear your plates away. The cleaners won't always be there for you. Not like it's very difficult to do in the first place.

I'm A Moron!

No matter what the length of the school holiday may be, students will always leave their homework till the very very very VERY end.

It's as if we have this idea in our minds. "Consequences be damned! I'm going to sit here and vegetate, doing nothing at all, even though I'm bored out of my mind and could use this time constructively to do work that I'm not very sure about, brushing up on previous topics, while at the same time learning new ones! FREEDOMMMMM! RAHHHHH!"

Then the day before school reopens, they find themselves rifling through knee-deep piles of paper that have have been covered with a fine layer of dust formed over the 2 months of neglect. At this point, they curse and swear, berating their own foolishness. They raise clenched fists to the sky, knuckles bone-white, nails piercing their own flesh, vowing, to never again, go through this torment and anguish. The following holiday, they promise, will be different.

But they know it will not be so.

Because they are dumb.

Things I've Realised #1

Because school isn't the only time that you gain knowledge.

I've learned things through observation of my surroundings, research to fulfill my own interest, or even just through living my life. I would consider some of this lessons to be more invaluable than quite a few things that I'm being taught in school.

Anyway, let us begin. We shall delve deep into the unknown, plunge our hands inside, squeeze, fondle, grope, caress, and finally, rip out whatever gem of knowledge we may find within the crevices of my cerebellum.

Here is the Fortune Cookie Of Truth you have uncovered.

Chinese women of my grandmother's generation all have the same hairstyle.

Have you been enlightened?
