Misunderstood

Just finished exam yesterday. After 3 weeks of studying hard (erm... not really) and intense stress, I finally have something and time to post something here.

I am not going to talk about how I did my papers, but about a post on a friend's blog. Though it was written a few days ago, due to intense study, I just saw the post today. From my understanding, she felt some regret of coming here to study because people seems to misunderstand her, not knowing the actual person she is, and insulting her for being something she thinks she's not (I hope she is not talking about me).

I sometimes feel what she felt too. Whether in NTU or not, I sometimes feel people around me don't really understand me. People seems to misunderstand my actions, thoughts and words. What I am in people's eyes is not really who I am. Is it because of my lacking of communication skills? Or maybe different people interpret things differently? I don't know.

Sometimes I meant to be joking, but end up it become an insult, and being branded as "rude". Sometimes I do something what I think has nothing wrong about it, it is deemed inappropriate by others (I think this applies to what we usually called "bad habits" as well).

The appropriateness of what we do, think or say is determined by the people around us, not by ourselves. If people say you are rude, then you are rude. If people say you are insulting them, then you are insulting them. Some people here ask me why I went to a independent school, and enter university earlier than them. "Why you spend your parents' money to study in school?" "Why you want to come one (or two) year(s) earlier than us?"... I know they are joking, but I don't feel happy, or rather, I feel offended by it. It seems that they are questioning my qualifications to enter the university.

For those who are offended by my actions, thoughts and words, please don't keep it in mind. I am really sorry about it. I didn't mean to insult you. I don't like to insult people, nor do I like to be insulted by others. Please accept my sincere apology, OK?

7S1/7S2 加油！！

睡梦中，突然想起一首歌。一首充满回忆的歌。

我想，过了很多、很多年后，当我们又同聚，或偶然碰面时，我们会是怎样。搞不好有一天我在扫街时，看到一张报纸，报导着一项科研突破，还有一张熟悉的脸孔。我把报纸拾起，告诉大家这个人我认识...

两年前，我面临一个重要的抉择。在父母的劝告下，我放弃可能成为学会执委的机会，选择了学校开办的先修联班。父母希望我将来能到新加坡升学，达成这个期望最直接的路线是考一张高中统考文凭。进先修联无非是想要多一个保障，万一统考考得不好，就多读一年考STPM。

就这样，我加入了这个只有35个人的大家庭。有些人想考完统考再作打算；有些则立志考完STPM进国立大学继续深造。无论如何，先修联（一）的我们都需要上准备统考和第二年STPM的课程。

• 黑鞋是我们的传统标记。
• 我们课室和高三课室隔着一段不大不小的距离，近在眼前，远在楼边...
• 我们在卫生股长的领导和恐吓之下，努力地打扫课室，而赢得了班级整洁比赛全年总冠军。（希望他不会找我算帐，我不要变成沙丁罐头里的沙丁鱼...)
• 我们比其他班幸福，因为班上有三架冷气机（其他班只有两架），这第三架冷气机确保我们上课时不会中暑。
• 我们有5K：KL、KJ、KT、KC 和 KHL。
• 我们时常有机会听演唱会，班上有唱歌唱到走音的歌手，还有笑声震天的维尼熊、搞笑的大炳和倾国倾城的世界小姐。
• 我们有专业的摄影师、预言家（答案是A！）、超级球迷、不满船长的水手（Q: Why not? A: Why yes?）...
• 我们每个星期三有2个小时的体育节。
• 我们还有金鱼、蜜蜂、大牛、阿兔、Foo 和 Hoo，再加上整天潜水然后突然咬人的鳄鱼。

转眼间，应付统考后，又是分道扬镳的时候了。虽然有些很确定会留下来，我们还是依依不舍地向每个人送别，因为统考成绩还没出，谁留谁走还不成定局。

先修联（二），卫生股长升级成了班长，维尼熊成了学会主席...

我们在储藏室上课，大家都被STPM的杀气压得喘不过来，没有开演唱会，体育节缩短成40分钟。

班上有14位同学离开了，不过我们欢迎碧仪的到来（22）
一月，摄影师走了（21）
二月，联（一）财政飞往犀鸟之乡（20）
四月，北极熊去UTAR，小帅哥去实验室（18）
五月，诗晴、世界小姐、小帅哥和财政（就是俊轩咯）前往新加坡升学（15）
八月，伟锋跑去了台湾(14)

最后，班上剩下14个英雄美女努力奋斗，准备STPM。班长数学很强，报考包括MLT和物理在内的5科。主席带领可爱的学会财政和她的好姐妹报考生物等4科，其他的报考物理等4科。

亲爱的7S1/7S2：
我们尝过甜酸苦辣，一起去NTV7寻找天使，也去了国会大厦；虽然7S2时很多都离开了，包括我自己，不过我相信我们都不会后悔选择先修联，也永远不会忘 记我们那段美好的回忆。7S1是我中学生涯最棒的一年，也是最难忘的一年；感谢你们陪伴我度过这一年。For 7S2: We went to SMK Chong Hwa in April and May to sit for MUET, and now you guys are going there in less than 2 weeks time to sit for STPM. Work hard, but don't work too hard... Wish you guys all the best in STPM!! 加油！！其他人也一起加油吧！！

7S1/7S2 Forever!!!
