~The Road Less Taken~

Hi Tim,

Irrelevant message 1:
Could you just run by me again the url of the blog that this is supposed to
be on? I'm sorry I seem to have misplaced it. Ok thats a lie , I never
remembered it (how terrible).

Irrelevant Message 2:
I'm sorry for having to bother you when its so busy for you (you know the hw
thing) but daniel was saying you were still keeping stuff so.... yeah.

I really want to send pics acrosss... just not sure how to do it without
jamming anyone's mailbox. Have to admit, my sis did take some good pictures.

Just had a dream about BB last nite, somehow I was wearing slippers and Mr
Sim in sunglasses. Really, really weird. Of course there were other people
around, like Kenneth, Tim blah blah.

Looking through my drafts (cos this was saved in my draft for half a day) I
found an unsent letter supposedly for Mr Simon Lai (Awards, start of the
year, get to know thing).

Otherwise school here has been slack. Quite lar, but dunno why I seem to be
short on time always. Most of the homework is copying from the textbook
(ahem, sociology, biology) and others are plain repetitive (ahem physics).
not really their fault i guess, more like me choosing the wrong classes. US
history is surprisingly ok - at least a bit of thinking, calculus is
challenging (implicit diff now), journalism is nerve wracking when youre out
of ideas (sch newspaper eh) and the PE class (I got stuck in the only one
that is slack - some building teamwork thing).

Snippets from school. Its PE class, and I find out that theres this Israeli
guy who is also in my Physics class who has stayed in Singapore for 7 years
(at Peck Hay, near ACS(J)). Then it turns ot someone in my US history class
has actually been to Singapore before (like whoa) and was saying its so sad
there are Muslim insurgents causing trouble in Thailand as it is really a
nice place (for current events - but she though it was in the Middle
east?!?) Then the Math teacher, Mr (Huff + C) (the integral thing) says that
some people who come from middle school are really smart but they never used
their brains in middle school (cos it was brainless) and coming to high
school was more brain work. I almost choked. In Journalism, I turned in some
crappy draft 1.1 about how the school newspaper is getting its new name. The
teacher said se liked my 'voice' but totally agreed with me that many parts
were completely irrelavant. Weekends are spent travelling (this week it was
new Hampshire lakes region)so hw has to be done before then. Not impossible,
but cuts a lot of hw time. realised I somehow didn't bring a protractor
here.

I finally wrote to Loo the same day I last wrote here, but I can't remember
whether I wrote to Sandra Sim.

and lastly, the friends I've made thus far. Theres Luke, whose been here
for 2 years, he's either 17 or 18, he drives a really old jeep with a German
flag (yes daryl(s)?) It has a name, but its not particularly decent (the
name, that is). Then theres Gabriel (gabe) who is also new, he's hispanic
and in the year lower than mine. He plays drums for the marching band and
hates math. There's also Keith, from Utah (but not a Mormon - just in case
daniel is wondering). He's probably what people in S'pore would think an
average american kid is - shoulder length hair, does all the high fives
stuff, skateboards, drives, thats keith. Theres also Dell (short for
Waddell) from Nebraska, where they do crazy stuff after scoring goals in
soccer (I'll show when I get back). The only trouble is that my parents
don't want me hanging out with them after school, which is a major prob.
