Hm...today I've found a new respect for Mr. Rice. He's our Head of computing. Previously I got pretty annoyed cause he froze all usage of coms in the boarding house, but today at assembly finally he showed us how to use the eMacs, or more specifically how to save stuff onto your own server space. And he managed to make me actually half-like the Macs =) But most of all, he's the school's timetabler. If you ask me, making individual timetables for teachers and students is a very complex job.

Anyway, has anyone of you heard the way hardcore S(a certain country's people) and H(a certain country's people) talk? I know like quite a number S- in the boarding house, and if I listen to them any longer I SHALL GO MAD. I feel like cursing...must release some of my pent up temper here, couldn't tell them off cause 1. I don't want to make enemies so soon. 2. I'm not ex0dus =) Damn they get on my nerves. They talk like stupid crass, crude, uneducated people with every syllable followed by a LAh Ah MAh LOr or something else stupid. I mean okay, most people do that, but if you overdo it you'll sound like them. And not only that, they are so loud and noisy with no regard for anyone else in the room. And they read their mail out loud! Damn no one wants to hear it! Shut up! My apologies to any S- reading this. I'm only referring to this particular group, no offence to others.

I tell you. Everyday breakfast tea lunch dinner computer room I have to suffer through conversations that sound like:

"Eh my ma and pa osso send me mail lorrrr"
"Aieeyo don't listen to her laaaaa, so like a smelly poot-poot pig"
"O my goaaaad"
"Don't laaaaaaaa, I don't like it lorrrrrr"
"Aieeyo, I tell you aaaa"
"By the time they shake shake backside also out of the school lorrrrrr"
"Aieeyo, poot-poot leaaaaa"
(and you can imagine the accent they use lah, wait till I get back, I'll start ranting more)

And so much more. But I don't want to drive you guys crazy either. Somebody help me please.
*sob. H- just have the Cantonese styled accent when speaking English, but okay, I respect that. But oh goodness I expected S- to be different cause the people there speak English and emphasise English so much. I try not to make judgements on the majority of the S- people based on these few, but man it's hard.

That's all for now, I have a lot more to write, but I can't concentrate. Because of the above-mentioned. In fact we're all in the computer room now and I was typing down what they said as soon as they spoke it. So enough there of my duties as a scribe. JUst imagine having to listen to this kind of speech all day. Anyway, I think my grammar's gone all awry as well. My biggest and most inconvenient shortcoming, especially now that I'm in boarding, is that I'm absolutely unable to concentrate on anything I'm doing if there's noise around. Even slight noise.

And the thing is, it's close to impossible to find silence and privacy in boarding.

I hope I get a room of my own next semester. I hope. I hope. I hope.
