Prom....

A: Hey! Prom's in 1 week time... Aren't you excited? Have you bought everything yet?

B: Yup..I've got my dress. It's a long white toga dress and I've bought my shoes and accessories and stuff.But, I don't feel excited though...

A: Why? It's prom...

B: So? I don't have a partner.

A: Then go find one. Ask someone. Why don't you ask that one?

B: Er...ask someone? The only person I'll ask is that one...But he already has a date. And if I snatch him from his date, the whole school will know and I will be known as 'The Prom Date Snatcher'. And I don't want that to happen ...I want to graduate from high school with a 'clean' name.

A: O right...He sang to that girl during assembly....How romantic...(aw...)So you're going single?

B: Yes. What's wrong with going single? I don't mind...(said in a cool fashion. but actually deep inside' I WANT a prom date! I don't want to go alone~T_T)

A: err...okay then. But it's your senior year. It sucks going single... Why don't you ask your bro's friend?

B: Didn't I say so that I will not ask anyone except that one. Well.. unless my bro's friend asks me within this week...I'm not going to ask anyone...(even though I kinda want someone) But then we won't have anything to talk about except HKU...lol

A:.....

B:.....

And so, the conversation goes on and will continue till prom is over I guess. Does it really matter id I have a prom date or not? Well I guess for guys, it's kinda shameful because people will assume that no girl wants to go with you or you got rejected. But for girls, we can just hang our with our girlfriends and dance to Beyonce's "All the Single Ladies"... Who knows maybe he will ask me to dance with him on that day itself, when he sees me all glamored up.

Numbers...

Who invented numbers??

Having my external papers now and I'm trying to cram all the info in my head. Why? Because I want that 7...no, those 7s...I want that 40 (or more than 40 also can...) And why do I want those 7 s or 40? Because my future depends on it... well...okay...the uni that I want to go requires me to have it... I might sound a bit narrow-minded, saying that my future depends on the numbers but it is kin

d of true. At least now I think it's true. Have been doing IB for nearly 2 years and its down to this. I have

to get those 7s or else all my effort spent on staying-up-late, no-korean-drama....all of those will be wasted. Including the time I spent on my EE....noooo...

It's kind of ironic how we, humans, invent numbers and then are manipulated by it. You have to get at least 2100 in order to fulfill the basic requirements, some unis require you to have at least 118 for TOE

FL (the total's 120 btw) in order to prove that you're proficient in English...

And then besides education stuff, we, humans, are manipulated by numbers when we're judged based on our economic wealth. Wealthier people get more privileges than less wealthy ones just because they can pay the amount of cash required. Again cash = numbers.

O and now in school, I'm the oldest among the student body...lol. And so I get kind of sensitive when people ask me about my age...Again, age= numbers..(Maybe that's why I don't have a prom date...lol

)

So yea...I guess humans are conquered by numbers after all...Now is and in the future will...
