Of Greener Grass and Escapades

I would like to recount a delightful tale with all of you

One fine bright and sunny Thursday, a couple of innocent S72 guys and girls made their way to a certain placed called tchs for a meal. As usual, they bought their favourite fish and chips, a fresh piece of dory fish fillet fried to a crsip golden brown perfection with bread crumbs. However, there was a certain adventurous group who, instead, purchased a chicken cutlet, a gernerous portion of chicken fried golden brown, much like it's fish counterpart.
And so, they began to dine happily, engaged in lighthearted talk.
All of a sudden, came a yelp of surprise. Upon an innocent S72ian's plate lay a curious organsism. Initially dismissed as something of little importance, it was later closely examied to have segmented parts and was white in colour and about 1.5cm long.

Maggot.

Maggot, common name for any wormlike larva of a fly, especially the larvae of those flies that lay their eggs in decaying materials, such as carrion, or in living tissues. The living or rotting material furnishes heat for the rotting of the eggs and food for the newly hatched maggots. Certain blowfly maggots (see Flesh Fly) were once used in surgery to remove, by ingestion, both bacteria and injured tissue in deep wounds.
---

And hence, the little organsism was identified.
Unperturbed by the rare discovery, we continued to consume our food blissfully, savouring each bite. And then, the chicken cutlet was flipped over only to reveal a large mass of white stuff.
And so it was that the stall was avoided.

Today, a few weeks later, I returned to the aftermath of the scene to once again enjoy the fish and chips that was so tasty and fresh in days past.

Alas, after swallowing my final slice, I found that I could eat no more.

Damn man the thing still freaks me out. Wtf freaking maggots in the damn food?! KAO! No more man.
Not bitten, already shy.

On to another part of my mouthwatering entry...

===

Yesterday, an aquaintance of mine called Moe, had decided to abandon his most precious pearl. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly on good terms with Moe and we've had many disagreements in the past, but I still nonetheless feel a certain concern over the entire incident.
You see, his pearl, and others like it, have always been the centre point of my life, with my everyday mindset revolving around it. I do believe however, that a certain friend of his, known only as "big door", was trying to make an impact on Moe. Curious it is how some people feel the need to make an impact on everthing they do, for good or ill. To achieve this end, "big door" had stolen Moe's pearl in a bid to be remembered.

Ok wtf I can't go on like that.

So basically, the point I'm driving it is that I think it's damn lame for MOE to be ripping of the PEARLS system. I'm not pro-PEARLS or something but as it is now, Spore's sports suck. YeAh it freaking sucks. And it's not like our eductaion is on a serious decline either, so I totally don't understand why they wana take out PEARLS.
As it is now, most people are joining CCAs for the sake of getting PEARLS points. Yeah, I guess it's lame forcing yourself to join something you're not interested in. But hey, isn't that where most interets spark? You have to admit that a normal average person won't normally take time off slack time to go join something new right? At least with the PEARLS system these people would actually be forced into something they have mild interest it, and perhaps, develop an even greater interest for it. Moreover, joining a CCA also build alot of friendships and teamwork, stuff you don't get out of textbooks. Honestly, if you can't get anything our of CCA now, who the hell would join? Probably only suckers like me who really like their sport and can't stand work. I'd estimate that probably 1 out of 3 people would quit their CCA. And come next year, probably noone would join any CCA at all. Seriously, who would choose gruelling PTs over slack free time all day, taking your time to do homework (latter dosen't apply to all ;P)?
Ok, so they retained the CCA systems of secondary and primary schools, but so what? With no more emphasis being placed on JCs to perform in their CCAs, they would no longer feel pressured perform well and so, would probably eliminate their intake of sports appeal. As such, there would be even less incentive to perform in CCAs in secondary schools, leading to a decline in CCA standard there. In addition, this domino effect would probably extend even further unto primary schools.
And the removal of CIP.
Honestly, who actually spontaneously starts doing CIP work until forced? I'm not saying everyone does CIP out of obligation, I'm just convinced that if you're not forced to start, you probably never will.
Why the hell take it out?

Haha. I tell you, it's all a ruse for Mr "big door" to make a mark on MOE during his term as Education Minister.

Lame ass.

Ok, how many times in your life can you look back and think, "hey, that person's such a bastard?" Ok, well, many times I know, but for the sake of this entry, lets just say it's a rare occasion.

Well, today, I'd like to talk about one such bastard.

The regretful bastard.

As the name suggests, this is a type of bastard who likes to regret. Granted, we all love to regret, but hey, this is bastard-class regret I'm talking about. Ok, so anyway, I met this bastard on the 28th of February. As everyone was joyously celebrating their expected (and some unexpected) grades, this bastard was sulking at the corner. "Oh no!" You must think. "Poor thing!" Nay my friends. It's not that he didn't get he wanted. It's just that he didn't get something spectacular.

(If the person reads this he would know who I'm talking about. But hey, I'm trying to wake you up you bastard)

Well, ever had the feeling where once you got something you wanted, you wish you COULD HAVE worked that little bit harder to get that something extra? You know, like getting 7 or 8 points and wish you had memorised that extra SS text for 6 points? I suppose it's normal, but you must understand, you get what you deserve. So how? Always do your best. Serious. If you actually did your best then you would truly have no stupid regrets like the abovementioned. Besides, in such a situation, you should also consider how you MAY have fucked up this or that paper to get an even lower grade. So? Thank your stupid lucky stars man. You got what you wanted. Be satisfied. Asking for more only makes you unappreciative of what you have and it ALSO makes you look like a bastard.

Geez.
