Bio prac was horrible today..our bio teacher, mrs khoo kept scolding us for no reason…she’s so particular abt everything...we were instructed to measure 3 cm of water in the beaker and she even went ard measuring everyone’s water level…scolded pple with 2.5 cm and even for those with 3cm, she wanted more than 3..whats wrong? Then for the rest of prac, we were made to keep dead silent….guess classes under her wld have experienced how her lessons are….mr gerald yee isn’t in sch today and he didn’t assign any work…first time we enjoyed gp lessons! Haha…read abt yee ching’s blog abt her gp lesson..thought it was meaningful, so decided to extract it for more pple to read…hope u dun mind, ching J…

“gp today was so interesting. teacher questioned about our purpose.. it started like this :

we had to write the question and answer it and then question the answer.

socrates(the philosopher): why are you in tb21?

me: for gp lesson.

socrates: why do you go for the lesson?

me: it's in my timetable.

socrates: why is it in your timetable?

me: it's a sub tt i take.

socrates: why do you take the sub?

me: it's compulsory for university admission.

socrates: why do you want to enter u?

me: to get a degree.

socrates: why do you want a degree?

me: to get a good job.

socrates: why do you want to get a job?

me: to get money.

socrates: why do you need money

me: to survive.

socrates: why do you need to survive?

i stopped there.. and it was time up. looking back, it would be so hard to answer that question.. why do we need to survive?? now that i think of it, the best ans tt i can think of is.. I SURVIVE FOR GOD, MY FRIENDS, AND MY FAMILY.

Have you ever questioned your purpose? it's time for me to rethink again.. it's only when we have a purpose then we can live life for it rite? why is the whole world, education system so materialistic that my answer to socrates's question is so similiar to all others in the gp class…..”

Guess that exercise could really make us reflect on our purpose in life…realized recently that more pple are getting paranoid abt their purpose..maybe becos this yr is yr 2 and we’ll be moving on to a diff phase of our life nxt life…esp now that the pace of j2 life is fast, a lot of us wld be confused and lose their way in life…have heard many talks and seminars where lecturers been telling us to find our purpose in life so as to make it meaningful…but I guess sometimes its just could be harder than expected, esp when we are made to grow up in this society…I’m not here to give a lecture on the finding ur purpose, just hope to remind u pple out there to take a step out of ur busy schedule and reflect on the meaning of ur existence….

Tml will be a short day…wldn’t want weekend to come cause I can foresee the load of stuff that I need to complete…and love matters seminar this sat too……ciao
