  <description>ive just received my prelim results [apologies to those who are still studying...im really sorry for you. really. i am. haha]...hmm shall not disclose them here but suffice to to say they&apos;re mediocre; not worth applauding yet not a major cause for concern, except maybe history. one word that most succintly describes my feelings about this would be &apos;huh&apos;. im suprisingly apathetic of my grades, which is certainly very strange, because exams tend to make me either damn happy or disappointed...okay that statement was academic because quite frankly who doesnt feel either one of those emotions when you look at your marks. but this time around, when i received all my papers and calculated all my grades, i just felt this overwhelming sense of &apos;i dont care&apos;...maybe its because i was expecting more for my lit and history, maybe it was because i knew the prelims didnt matter in the sense that they had no impact whatsoever on my tertiary education path. but instead of feeling...well, &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt;, i felt almost nothing emotionally...my mind just felt so numb...its unexplainable but there you have it.&lt;br /&gt;one of my teachers mentioned that our essays had a &apos;jaded&apos; tone to it, and maybe thats what i felt, and what i am feeling now. my overall attitude during the prelim period was something like &apos;okay, let&apos;s just get through this as quick and painless as possible, i dont want to be here any longer&apos;. i just was waiting for it to end, i was going through the motions perhaps with little or no conviction at all. i mean, sure, during the exams themselves i put in all my effort and effectively drained my brain and dumped the contents onto as many foolscap sheets i could, but the point is that i somehow wasnt really committing myself. some of my lit essays and my gp essay were written absolutely devoid of the passion and excitement i once had in the subjects. i must say that some of these essays did relatively well, i am not proud of them at all, because they do not show me at the best of my abilities and at the very peak of my mental faculties. there was no pride, no soul, and that to me is a carnal sin. literature is by far my favourite subject, but whilst i previously channeled my very life into my writing, i now killed the very heart of my work. exhaustion? maybe. but it was a terrible experience that i really want to forget. these prelims, from a creative and mental point of view, saw me at my nadir, the absolute bottom of my skills. &lt;br /&gt;that being said, though, my prelim results have really managed to galvanize me into some form of action. seeing my results, and comparing them with some people who did really well, i felt a certain degree of...envy? yearning? something like that. all i knew was, &lt;i&gt;i&lt;/i&gt; wanted those good marks; no, i wanted even better grades. i will not say that i did not work and study hard for my prelims, for that i did; but i will readily admit that perhaps i have not studied enough. two people really convinced me of this, and provided me with some encouragement for the a levels. the first was my class teacher, who told us to forget the prelims, they were thing of the past, and to concentrate solely on the coming exams in november. &apos;today is the first day of the rest of the year up to the a levels&apos; he said, and this cannot be any more true. those words really just awakened something in me, because i completely agree and appreciate the fact that i will not be alone in my task. the second person to really convince me to redouble my efforts is my father. his reaction to my results was not skewed towards one extreme; rather it was a pragmatic appraisal of my strengths and weaknesses. instead of agreeing with my lame attempts to justify my grades and place them in a positive light [&apos;but the rest of the level/class had around the same marks...it was really hard&apos;], he chose to identify my flaws and errors i made during the exams, and challenged me to find some way to rectify them. whilst initially i was hostile to this criticism of my shortcomings, i have come to realize that these shortcomings where the very things that were bogging me down. a failure to deal effectively with these problems was what resulted in my substandard performance. as such, i am grateful to both parties for egging me on and daring me to strive for greater heights.&lt;br /&gt;whilst the prelim results have been average and my overall attitude passive at best, i have decided that the time is over for idleness and fooling around. only once before have i decided to put in gargantuan amounts of effort into something, and fittingly, that was during my o levels. then, no one thought id be able to get a good, let alone exceptional grade, but i proved them all wrong. sorry if this sounds like ego boosting, but during that period i was intensely motivated by the fact that both teachers and students underestimated my abilities, and by the desire to prove them all grossly wrong. similarly now, the odds are seemingly against me, as many are dubious as to my potential and capabilities, admittedly with good reason as i have yet to prove them wrong. but now, it is time for me to toil once again and show once and for all that i am not one to be taken lightly. at the risk of sounding so very cliched, playtime is over. the pain begins now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on another note i think singaporeans are tone deaf and completely retarded. great choice for your wild card man.</description>

  <description>to all the stupid idiots who irritated me at the esplanade today [i.e. more or less every stupid singaporean i saw] : i consign you to a life of endless sorrow and desolation. you will be incessantly hounded by your deepest fears and be devoured by the stuff of your nightmares.  you will achieve neither contentment nor closure during the course of your obsolete, depraved existence.  you will die a protracted and most tormenting death, and will perish in agony and in solitude; also in regret and anonymity.  your soul will wither away in the infinite fields of the ungrateful dead, and will be consumed and gorged upon by the nether beings who dwell in the ruinous, most despairing depths of hell.  the memory of your inane, deplorable essence will remain as a blight upon the fields of the dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;other than that the fireworks were not bad...singaporeans please go and die. i have nothing against the country, i just hate the people in it.</description>

  <description>last week i saw the release of a level results in the school hall...yah i know although there were scenes of crying and etcetc what i noticed the most was the group of people who went on stage for getting 3 or more distinctions. i could like, feel their energy and elation, their joy at doing damn well and in some cases proving to all their stupid idiot classmates that they actually could do something with their lives. &lt;br /&gt;thats when i decided that i would do my utmost best to make sure that i would be one of those people on stage next year. i dont want to fade into some obscure corner, reduced to just a whisper on the cracked lips of the teachers. &apos;oh brandon was this, was that...blahblah...ohillmisshimwontiokayletsturntothenextpageof&lt;br /&gt;ournotes&apos;. dont want. you see, ive realised that this stupid system that all of us are confined in can be broken. i have to power to screw the bloody education system and surpass it, such that i dont need it anymore. the only way to do this is if i get at least 3 As for my stupid A levels. so thats my target. i, brandon chew wei yang, hereby swear to anyone bored enough to read this that i will get at least 3 As for my A levels, and i will be called up on stage to receive my results. failing which, i will kill myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i cant think of anything more to say. ill go look for my inspiration, think it crawled into some corner to rot and die. this entry probably sounds damn ridiculous, and will be even more so in a few days.</description>

  <title>im feeling abit feverish</title>
  <author>groundzero@white-star.com</author>  <link>http://beanshaka.livejournal.com/93563.html</link>
  <description>okay. lets face it. all of us, tall or short, fat or thin, smart or completely stupid, are destined to die. why fight it? sooner or later all of us will die; you will die, i will die. quick! think of someone, anyone. yes, s/he will die. hmm but lets talk about something you dont already know - not only are we meant to die, we also deserve to die. in fact, i think we dont even deserve to live. the human race is a pathetic collection of misfits, a plethora of deformed and mentally dysfunctional beings that defile the very soil they walk on. we are the parasites of the planet, perhaps the universe. as a collective race, we are arrogant, abusive, and disgusting. as individuals, the faults are more specific - obnoxious, disrespectful of virtually anything and everything, etcetc. we are a waste of space. humans are like an extra appendage on a perfect animal - lacking in usefulness, yet a burden on the overall organism. now in case you didnt know, let me say this now : I HATE THE HUMAN RACE. i dont want to be a human being, nor do i particulary cherish the company of human beings. dont take this wrong; i dont want to die or anything, but id rather be an animal, or a plant, or something else. anything but this. ive been able to repress this sentiment quite well, but occasionally i lose all sense of control an logic. this is one of those occasions. right now i feel nothing but abhorrence and a complete distaste for the human race as a whole. no offense to anyone in particular - it is not your fault that you are human. no matter how much we try we are unable to deny nor counter the fact that we are a blemish on the otherwise faultless beauty of reality. every breath we take, every move we make [i love that song] simply put is a nuisance to existence. the earth, the very fabric of consiciousness and the universe, is irritated at our continued prescence and the doggedness of our ability to survive, and i think i am beginning to feel it. this wretched aura of pungent repulsion radiates and resonates in every single populated area i visit, and the fact that i contribute to this aura compounds my hatred. i am afraid that i am unable to tolerate my own existence, my own retarded life here; there is really no point in me being here, or any other human for that matter. even before people open their mouths to speak, even before i have a chance to interpret their movements and behaviour, i feel that i have known them for ages and i am so so exasperated and sick of it. i find that i cannot stand anything anymore, and coupled with the knowledge that there is nothing i can do about this, i fear my thought patterns and overall character will soon begin to degenerate. okay, admittedly my mind has been degenerating since the day i drew breath. the perfect mind is one that has not been conceived yet. the closest thing to that is the mind of a newborn, completely devoid of opinion, of any salient thought and idea. following that, the brain and the mental psyche is eroded and decayed by the deluge of information, of beliefs and paradigms that we are bombarded and inundated with. okay anyway i digress. hmm now what was i talking about...oh right...anyway what i want to say is that i have lost all hope and faith in humanity. i have also realized that in this world, it is impossible to rely on others, to actually trust them completely. the only person you can fully trust is yourself. lets face it humans are selfish by nature, so why fight it? and lets not forget the fact that we are inevitably going to face destruction and elimination. this is not a signal for you to start acting like some stuck up, paranoid idiot, unless you already are one. far from it. what i suggest is that you continue to live life as normally as you can, only that you keep in mind the fact [i think i use the word &apos;fact&apos; too much...must find synonyms] that in the end, the only person you will need to worry about is yourself. but even then, it doesnt really matter because all of us are insignificant, insecure...did i mention a waste of space? i believe i did. we are detritus on the road of life, and soon we will be accordingly swept away and disposed off, as all worthless entities like us deserve. &lt;br /&gt;happy new year.</description>

  <description>not feeling too good my head is spinning and there seems to be a little imp in my chest trying to burst out...anyway ive been doing a little thinking...and i have come to the conclusion that i am a paranoid fool. i think too much and too deep into things, and form my own conclusions that i do not believe, yet cannot dismiss. the smallest and slightest of changes to anything mean alot to me. argh its damn hard for me to explain lah...basically i think too much, but even though i know it, i somehow cannot stop myself from doing it. WHY&lt;br /&gt;hmmm seeing that its christmas, lets talk about love. hmm what is love exactly? i think its impossible to define love, much less assign in a fixed meaning and function. love, in my opinion is relative. it varies from person to person. you will not know what love is until you experience it for yourself. it would be damn stupid of me to try and explain this, to explain how you feel love, plus ill look like some fool, so i wont try. what i will do is attempt to introduce to you this idea i have. basically, this idea stems from the question : why does man love? i think that humans are the only species that has this emotion. other animals have no such concept, it is alien to them. certain species eat each other shortly after mating, others leave their children to fend for themselves, etcetc. this is because these animals are governed by the survival instinct, that is, they reproduce and find mates out of neccessity, to facilitate the continuation and prosperity of their species. theirs is the most primal, most basic ideals. &lt;br /&gt;what about humans? we, the alleged king of all beasts, master of the world, the superior beings of the earth, are unusual in the sense that we possess a radical emotional attachment to those which we choose to propogate the seeds of our future with...oh shit that sounded damn disgusting...anywaaay. im losing interest in this topic so ill just get to the main point. in my opinion, love is an artificial emotion created by a mind which believes that it is somehow above all others, and thus reasons that it must develop the relationship between two mates and their offspring to an advanced level, one that surpasses and is an extension of the primitive feelings of lesser beasts. animals were not meant to love, and the same applies to humans. but just as we have created artificial dwellings, body coverings etc, we have succeeded in creating an aritificial emotion that has now become an inherent part of the human mind. arguably, though, it could be said that such a mental evolution is the logical progression as the level of awareness and intelligence of a being increases, as can be seen through the behaviour of higher animals that display a rudimentary understanding of the concept of love. it is my personal opinion, though, that humans have taken this to a grotesquely exaggerated level, such that we are now unable to sever the emotional attachment we have with those who would be our partners and offspring. this is particularly appalling, because we have transformed that which was once survival into a perverse art form that is totally unneccessary to our daily existence, yet has paradoxically come to be an integral part of it. hmm this entry isnt exactly going the way i wanted it to so ill stop here. quite tired anyway. merry christmas everyone. promise ill think of something better to say tomorrow. or sometime soon. whatever. i feel like vomitting cant believe i just wrote all that argh.</description>

  <description>this goes out to a certain person, dont know if you will read this. anyway i dont know what i did, but i dont care anymore because what you have done has pissed me off, really pissed me off. i thought you were nice and a cool person to hang around, but now i think you&apos;re just a fucking shell of a human being. just return to the place where you came from. people like you not only hinder the development of society, but also infect it and propagate the disease that is mental apathy and self-centredness. you cannot possibly call yourself a person of integrity, a person of holiness and religion, a follower of all things good without condemning your soul to the nether regions of hell, where you will most definitely be doomed to if you continue in your stupid attitude. who knows, you might see me along the way, so i can just mock you even more. seriously, just go to hell. the very sight of you sickens me to the core. your face is a leering caricature of a primal race long gone, its features a living reminder that monsters, both on the outside and on the inside, continue to exist. i concede that humans by nature are imperfect, but you have elevated that to an art form, a vice that just screams and mutilates anything in its path. know that if you ever do something like what you did again, compromising my trust, turning your back on me for no apparent reason, i will kill you. i will destroy you. maybe i wont but you will have my eternal undying hatred for the rest of your failed, pathetic, hypocritical life. you are not an asshole by nature, you have just become one, and i pity you because you have allowed society&apos;s perverse values and perceived notions and ideas to permeate your thoughts and dominate your mind, until you have become not an individual, but a slave to the majority, to preconceived ideals. you lack individuality, and are unable to form an independent will of your own. please stop following others blindly and formulate your own opinion for once, because if not you will end up a brainless, weak-minded rat. you have turned your back on me, betrayed all that i have given you, and although that may be qite little, i did not on any occasion give you reason to hate me; i have treated you exactly in the same way you have treated me, and i have not even complained about it. you disgust me, you withered husk. you do not even deserve a name, you do not even deserve to be mentioned. fuck off. &lt;br /&gt;if you think im talking about you, you&apos;re probably wrong because the person im talking about is too stuck up to admit that he is flawed and that the rest of humanity is too. ah that felt good going out now.</description>
