So those are my results for the prelims; nothing fantastic, but it ain’t bad either =)
Other than that, rumours were flying through the corridors of my English essay scoring 29/30. Well, those rumours were true, but almost the whole level knew before I did! Unfair as it may be, here’s the essay for those whom I promised I’d put it up here 
Q5. Elitism
Perfectionism is so prevalent in
today’s culture; everything must be perfect. From the smooth asphalt roads to the perfectly sculpted buildings, a
city must be so perfect, that anything less is short of a disaster. Such is the world of today, where springs of
elitism and fountains of professionalism never run dry. However much we take for granted our
existence as sentient beings with the comfortable lifestyles we lead, we can
never deny the fact that the human race is elite; superior to all other species
and yet still striving towards perfection.
In the process of creations, we
evolved from apes, our common grandfather shared with chimpanzees, orang-utans,
and even gorillas.
Darwin
calls it ‘natural selection’, while others marvel at the work of God’s hand in
this miraculous accident which produced a race so elite, that the world would
soon be transformed.
In the billions and trillions of
years of creation, Earth has never undergone so great a transformation in such
a short period of time. In just thirty
thousand years, Man has scarred the face of the Earth with huge chunks of
concrete blocks and heavy black strips of asphalt, marvelling at their own
ingenuity. The elite race which does so
much for itself cares absolutely nothing for the place in which they reside.
A conscience soon developed, but
too long after these apes became conscious that they were different and set
apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Efforts to save the Earth were introduced and magnified, but the elite
race still cares too much for self-benefit and takes nature for granted. The strive toward perfection is inherent in
every step of the way; from urbanisation to industrialisation to globalisation. The primitive instinct was never left behind;
humans needed to make themselves glorified amongst all other animals. They separated themselves from nature
entirely, only using it as a tool for beautifying the dullness of the huge
filed littered with metal and concrete blocks.
Then developed the race for
power. During the first two world wars,
all sorts of weaponry and ammunition were invented. The modern commercial jet aeroplane is
derived from the killing machine that could fly. Nuclear fission and fusion were used to
invent the ultimate killing machines; the atomic and nuclear bombs. Such was the extent of elitism; nations
scrambled over one another to create weapons of mass destructions only to
impress the others, and to be even more elite. The elite of the elite race start to emerge and fight for the glory of
ultimate superiority.
There are so many ways in which
the human race is entangled in the vice-like grip of elitism. Take for example the biomedical industry,
which now attempts to “play God” and tamper with creation itself. Morality and ethics are pushed aside in the
name of scientific progress, and cloning was made possible. Not long after, the cells of an embryo were
used to cure disease. Self-sufficiency
is the ultimate goal of this craze for elitism; in the future, many talk about
‘designer babies’ which are ordered to exact specification and desire of a
parent. They mimic God in their toying
with the fabric of life; genes, DNA, chromosome, and alleles. Is the human race elite enough to replace him
entirely with a science lab? The
scientists certainly seem to think so.
Yet the astrophysicists have a
different one. They seek neither to
replace God, nor tamper with his creation, but to fathom his omnipresent,
omnipotent, and omniscient God with Mathematics. Grand Unified Theories and Theories of
Everything (GUTs and TOEs) were suggested due to the first discovery of the
undesirable link between electricity and magnetism. Einstein started a craze to fathom God’s
thoughts, and was followed through by many others; Fleming, Lenz, Hawking, the
end is endless. The human race thinks
itself capable of understanding creation and the creator itself, and Man
overestimates his elitism by far. We were
made superior, but all thoughts tend toward elitism.
Such is the human race. Elitism personified, magnified, and embodied,
in every individual with a sentient mind. Superiority runs through our arteries and veins, perfectionism tingles
with very nerve impulse transmitted by every neuron, but our mind is filled to
the brim of its capacity with elitism. Our race was made superior, and we have made it elite. How far do we have from ultimate perfection?
Yep, that’s all folks! Well, these prelims rawked, I got a scholarship for SJII with my 8 points, and I’ll be going there with Weijin & Ian Chai (at this stage I don’t know who else is confirmed going in, cuz of all those stupid indecisive ppl)…
I want to watch HSM2!!! Haven’t as of yet, but I will soon… EVENTUALLY =P
Oh yeah, to all my darling juniors =) I’ll be seeing yall around in school, even though I’m leaving, ya? Things like LLTC or Peer Support 
will surely bring me back to SJI, my second home (:
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we’re gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won’t be coming back
No more hanging out cause we’re on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don’t have another day
Cause we’re moving on and we can’t slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn’t know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
We would get so excited and we’d get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life’s not fair
And this is how it feels
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won’t interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it’s not goodbye
Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly
And this is how it feels
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it’s like we’re women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us ’round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it’s not goodbye
Keep on thinking it’s a time to fly
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come Whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever
Graduation -Vitamin C
In the years to come
Will you think about these moments that we shared
In the years to come
Are you gonna think it over
And how we lived each day with no regrets
Nothing lasts forever though we want it to
The road ahead hold different dreams for me and you
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though its the hardest thing to say
I’ll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
But don’t you cry
Because a true love never dies
In a year from now
Maybe there’ll be things we’ll wish we’d never said
In a year from now
Maybe we’ll see each other, standing on the same street corner though it rains
Each and every end is always written in the stars
If only i could stop the World i’d make this last
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it’s the hardest thing to say
I’ll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
But don’t you cry
Because a true love never dies
And when you need my arms to run into
I’ll come for you
Nothing will ever change the way I feel
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it’s the hardest thing to say
I’ll miss your love in every way
So say goodbye
Because a true love never dies
Two very nice songs to keep in mind when you miss someone =) But I gotta go sleep now, so good luck to all those taking ‘O’s, happy mugging, and all the best for those receiving results or posting!
God bless,
