I'm not for prejudice. If I hate, I hate everyone equally. Posted at 01:39 AM
Composure fails me right now. And so does modesty, but heck, I am; hands down, not entirely satisfied with The Argosy 2004. I'm sooooooo not satisfied. My sorry arse is probably on the verge of getting shoved into a candy floss machine by Her Serene Highness (HSH) Grand Duchess of Everything Siva Prasanna on Monday. This is so my luck.
Reasons:
-wtf happened to my front cover.....muy facil! the printer LOST it. with that said, they even LOST the sense to actually tell us they LOST it. and they LOST the sense too in telling us they were creating a horrendous, space disorientated new front cover. like, hello...it's a school mag. school people judge books by their cover. how thick can you get.
-they LOST...yet again, my 2004 wira debate report, and jac's 2004 rotary debate report. ignorant pricks.
-HSH siva prasanna told us to do major editting for my colour pages and i suppose i'd comply to that. some of the captions for the graphic pages were...forgive me...not meeting the standard of quality wittiness and/or maturity. i'm sorry, but, oh God i'm just not feeling them. just not. and we were SUPPOSED to edit them...being the ignoramous of the printers they are, they didn't hand us back the original copies for editting. how THICKER blood can get when your sieve of reliability cannot even hold water.....
-whoever it was whom was BRILLIANT enough to edit my 5th Formers' Farewell-cum-Grad Nite report was stupid enough to have completely ERASED the writer's name at the end AND was BRAINY enough to have added sooooo many grammatical glitches that now I'm even embarrased to admit it my own work. Ay, Dios mio...
-HSH siva prasanna's complaining why each page has a background...how oldskool can you get. what do you expect, every article to be printed on blank recycled paper?!
-i still am stunned with absolutely insensitivity by some of the manual cut-and-paste graphic pages' captions. just stunned...
-my name on the editorial board member page was spelled WRONGLY.
-and i reckon there are some other blunders i'd comment on but thing is, i still haven't gotten my copy, only flipped through friends'. and if that much of mistakes i could remember even from a random flipping session, God help me once i've really read through it properly.
Even still, this year's mag does have a difference to the past-years' issues. only the differences are not at a balanced state. be that as it may, we did a good job at the attempt. we really did. i'm not entirely horrified, i'm just...stunned. changes take time. time should not be kept waiting though. i just hope this year's batch propose a new graphic director QUICK. there's a handful i need to teach and they should start extra extra early this year. extra early.
p.s.: those insolent humans out there who're gonna try to make me take my words back i'd say, FORGET IT. i've grown to be 'mature' enough to stick my tongue out to remarks like, "*rollseyes*...braggart..." or "you're not being modest...dismodest (?) people go to hell..." because you know what, i'm through with silly little pig-tailed girls who come up with such pathetic come backs just to make do with the attempt in undoing me. FORGET IT. go pick on someone your own [low] level...
"my mouth, my consent. my words, my meaning, my understanding. if i want to run over the edge of Land's End's cliff thinking i can fly, who are YOU to stop me..."

*~kudos to MGS' BM Debate Team for getting 1st runner up district level. They did well. La primero tiempo I watched a Malay debate on stage. More confined to ethics and extreme composure. More poetic. But I suppose the too-diplomatic presentations leaves sarcasm out of the question. the opposing team...ugh...gaylords. where has the sanctity within mankind gone to...
*~rotary debate finals...2nd speaker andersons won best speaker...otra vez. 2nd speaker of andersons stole my closing line "if i could preach anymore i would, but time clearly doth not permit me." 2nd speaker was better this round but best speaker...again??. oeuvay...
*~"The Offence Littering Should Be Addressed by Punishment Rather than Education". no offence, but i reckon sri putera should have won with the fact that sam tet was speaking particularly along the lines of how horrible and dispeakable littering is but failed to mention, howsoever WHY and HOW punishment works best to address litterbugs. yes, sweet wrapper = piles of sweet wrappers in sewage = baby mosquitoes = dengue, malaria, fever, but thou failed miserably to mention about fines, jail sentences and so forth strengthing your point as to WHY and HOW punishment works better...mon dieu!
*~"The Problem of the Tsunami is the Responsibility of Indivicual Countries, Not the Whole World". MGS is so jinxed. this is just utterly wrong. we speculated that. WE SPECULATED TSUNAMI MOTIONS WERE COMING OUT. but we were only watching amidst the mary-sunshine of make-up girls audience in vain. just in vain. and the motion was fair. but, alas, this year's rotary requirements were merely presentation and delivery despite the facts and figures battling on stage. adjudicators were more focused on style and delivery. ah, the irony of it...
*~they got a brand new, prettier trophy this year. ooooh, the shiny chrome trophy. oh it must feel good and do wonders to the beholder...
-----my coffee mug has been stolen and so has the contents of it. this calls for revenge.

. I left my coffee mug in my room in the morning before school and coming back, only peeped to see about a fifth of my soured bitter goodness (!) was in droplets all over the table and stereo. Not bothering to find out why, I cleaned up...then only about half an hour later it hit me that I had to go dump the mug into the sink at least *rollseyes*. I'm forgetful nowadays. Sickening. So yeah, only when I picked it up, this critter was struggling and had half of its body above the depths of oh-so-delicious coffee turned bad. HAH!...guess I'm not the only one in the family lovin' it.
