Saturday, June 26, 2004 [[*old men lectures]]


Relating the events of friday:

::echoes::

Literature Paper 1 and 3. I think I screwed up big time despite studying till 4 am the night before. Sigh, I guess the important thing was that I tried my best at it...whatever will be, will be. *balls to it ya, haha* After the paper, I was chillin in the council room, laughing at poor friends who had CL A and CL B: Halim, Khai, Joy and Tracy. When Gughan was done with his chemistry lesson, he met up with me and we changed into our running gear and left our stuff in the council room, running to Chinese High from CJC, stopping over at SJI and then Serene Center.

At SJI, we said hi to a couple of teachers. Bro Mike wasn't free though, so we couldn't protest the 'girls-in-SJI' issue with him. Afterall, our catch phrase is "Becoming MEN of faith and service"... Didn't see no mention of women inside right? Josephians, revolt! Anyway, back to the encounter in SJI. On our way out, we saw Mr Ghani, the good old lab tech who used to set up my lab apparatus back when i was doing triple science lab sessions, and he said hi and we started talking...for a long time. He gave us a lecture including, but not limited to, economics, history and family values. He started off with telling us he was on his way to KK hospital since he just had a new grand-daughter... Naturally Gughan and I congratulated him and he went on to say that he had 11 grandchildren at only age 60...and he outlined why. After his pre u studies he went to India and married at age 19. Then he proceeded to tell us why we can't do that today. With today's economy we can't afford that. Then he told us in his time he could buy alot of things with 10 bucks, whereas 50 bucks isn't even worth much now. Then he lectured us on filial piety, before somehow morphing the conversation into an account of World War 1, 2 and 3. He even placed WW1 as Hitler taking over the world, then WW2 as the current Iraq/USA feud...He then went on to speculate WW3... God, he was giving us wrong information man! During several points of the conversation, Gughan and I stole looks at each other and we both wanted to laugh out loud, but were biting our lips out of respect for the guy. Hilarious stuff, really.
