Eternal torment: The Search

Thursday, August 17, 2006

I just realised I'm like 10 posts away from my 100th post.

Anyways, for the past few days, I've been cramming for soil science. Ok, and failing terribly. TV has been taking a prime slot in my life. From SI2 (xiao di di and xiao mei mei are really something. Deaf I tell ya...) to reruns of Holland V to channel surfing: oh gawd. Couch potato madness!!!

I've just realised how different poly is from sec sch in terms of teaching. I've been perusing the notes and have been unable to find the asnwers for the past year exam papers. (Brings back good ol' memories of the TYS)

It's really independant learning. While i do like the whole study at your own pace etc, it irks me when you can't get answers asap. So now I'm trying my best to get notes on the nitrogen cycles etc.

Oh well. Just a couple of hours left before I move on to hydroponics. I'm gonna skip religious class because I'm not gonna waste my time listening to why casual sex is wrong and stuff like that. Bah humbug.

Still, my mum was telling me yesterday that MOE and MOH will be working together to find out which students are HIV carriers. And the letters will be sent to the student's institution to inform them.

I'm not sure about the legitamacy of the above mentioned but if it's true, all I can say is that all efforts to get the young people tested will go out the window. Seriously, most young people will stop going for checks. I do understand that the govt is trying to curb Hiv infection from spreading but it's the wrong approach.

I say schools should instead adopt a more proactive stand and inform the students about the HIV check up clinics/ centres whatachmacallit. I know there's one in Penang Lane (I have no idea where that is). And the govt needs to make support groups for HIV patients and their families more prominent.

We can't control our youths sexual drives but we can somehow teach them how to practise safe sex. Still, there's nothing that we can do officially for msm until homosexuality is legalised. It's basic human rights! Damn, i can't wait until the old fuddy duddies die then perhaps we can change the world. People need to understand that like LOVE, HIV doesn't discriminate. I'm all for same sex love! Love is love. PERIOD.
( I feel like my old self again!)

Anyways...I'm WAY excited about tmr!
