02 Jam!

Woohoo, I've figured out that I should play a game that requires higher level of skill. Compared to AuditionSEA, I think O2 Jam requires a higher level of skill. It requires two hands coordination and so on. I'm like downloading it and the download rate is like a snail!

Oh no, I don't know why. No matter how much I hate feelings I have for Miss Tan, I still prefer Chemistry to Physics. I think there's like no way I can sleep during Chemistry ok! I mean, Chemistry is so interesting! Just that we got a super niao teacher who gets on our nerves and laugh at her own jokes, that are not funny. Zzz

She was super crappy during Chemistry test today! I mean, she totally like just threw the papers on everyone's table -_- And we don't even know when to start since she didn't even say START and when we ask whether we could start, she said,"You're not supposed to ask questions! I won't answer your questions!" And when we have queries about a certain question, she'll say,"I won't answer your question! Just read what the question says! Don't you understand English!?" -_-

Yay, Chemistry rocks right.. Zzz..

Imagine if the paper has some error, and we spotted it and we ask her about it and she just brush us off like what she did today, then how? Everyone in the class get that question wrong? That's so absurd right! I mean, maybe she just doesn't like answering our questions because she always think that they're stupid and useless and we're asking questions for the sake of asking. She thinks our question didn't go through our brain (probably) and that we're out to irritate her and waste her time! But if we don't ask questions, how are we supposed to learn!?

Oh well, and because L said that his friend used correction tape in the test and she marked wrongly and he asked her about it, she said that he changed the thing when she returned the papers. So bloody unfair right.. I was telling Shikai, Peggy and others to NOT USE their correction tapes or fluids if not our marks would probably just get eaten up by her! :(

When she collects our scripts, she snatches them away one loh! I've never seen a teacher that's like tuned to 'grumpy' mood 24/7 alright.. Sigh

I think I'll probably die for Geography test, there was one question that I don't even know what it wants and I think I gave really crappy answers. Argh!

But I felt accomplished today in some sense as I managed to understand the (Sings the song)

x = -b (+/-) Square root of (b squared minus 4ac)
______________________________________________
2a

X EQUALS TO NEGATIVE B, PLUS OR MINUS THE SQUARE ROOT OF, B SQUARED MINUS FOUR A C, ALL IS OVER 2A!

Hahaha, I can't bear to bring myself to sing the song out loud and do those actions that Junjie always does in class -_- Hahaha!

Oh well, I love

DEAD POETS SOCIETY!!

It's a fantastically great show! You should watch it yea!

It's a 1989 Academy-award winning show yea!

It's a bout a conservative and autocratic boys prep school, it tells the story of an English professor who inspires his students to change their lives of conformity through his teaching of poetry and literature.

The story is set at the fictional Welton Academy in Vermont and was filmed at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware. The script was written based on the author's life at Montgomery Bell Academy, an all boys preparatory school in Nashville, Tennessee.

Information from Wikipedia

Seven boys, Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), Knox Overstreet (Josh Charles), Charlie Dalton (Gale Hansen), Richard Cameron (Dylan Kussman), Steven Meeks (Allelon Ruggiero) and Gerard Pitts (James Waterston) attend the prestigious Welton Academy prep school, which is based on four principles: Tradition, Honor, Discipline and Excellence. According to the boys, the four pillars of "Hellton" are Travesty, Horror, Decadence, and Excrement.

On the first day of class, new English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) tells the students that they can call him "O Captain! My Captain!" (the title of a Walt Whitman poem) if they feel daring. His first lesson is unorthodox by Welton standards, whistling the 1812 Overture and taking them out of the classroom to focus on the idea of carpe diem (Latin for 'seize the day') by looking at the pictures of former Welton students in a trophy case. In a later class Keating has Neil read the introduction to their poetry textbook, a staid, dry essay entitled "Understanding Poetry" by the fictional academic Dr. J. Evans Pritchard, Ph. D., which describes how to place the quality of a poem on a scale, and rate it with a number. Keating finds the idea of such mathematical literary criticism ridiculous and encourages his pupils to rip the introductory essay out of their textbooks. After a brief reaction of disbelief, they do so gleefully as Keating congratulates them with the memorable line "Begone, J. Evans Pritchard, Ph. D." He later has the students stand on his desk as a reminder to look at the world in a different way, just as Henry David Thoreau intended when he wrote, "The universe is wider than our views of it" (Walden).

The rest of the movie is a process of awakening, in which the boys (and the audience) discover that authority can and must always act as a guide, but the only place where one can find out one's true identity is within oneself. To that end, the boys secretly revive an old literary club in which Keating had been a member, called the Dead Poets Society. One of the boys, Charlie Dalton, takes his new personal freedom too far and publishes an article in the school flyer that proposes girls be allowed at Welton. The article implies that the reason for the proposed change is to give the boys pleasure. When the faculty learns of it, he is paddled and interrogated about the others involved. Charlie says he acted alone.

This free thinking brings trouble for one of the boys, Neil. He decides to pursue acting, which he loves and excels at, rather than medicine, the career his strict father (Kurtwood Smith) had chosen for him. Keating urges Neil to tell his father how he feels before appearing in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in which Neil wins the role of Puck. Neil feels unable to and lies to Keating, saying that his father is still unhappy with his acting but is letting him keep the role as long as he keeps up his studies, too. But Neil's father finds out the truth. After Neil's performance his father remains unimpressed and Neil is taken home instead of returning to school with everyone else.

Infuriated by this affront to his authority, Neil's father plans to pull him out of Welton and to enroll him in Braden Military School to prepare him for Harvard University and a career in medicine. Unable to cope with his feelings and equally unable to tell his father about his passion for acting, Neil commits suicide with his father's revolver.

As a consequence of Neil's suicide, Nolan, the headmaster, holds an investigation into the tragedy. Nolan gets help from one of the students, Richard Cameron. When Charlie Dalton finds out that Cameron has squealed on them, he furiously attacks his former friend, and is expelled from Welton.

Neil's father takes no responsibility for his son's death and instead holds Keating responsible. All the boys, but Todd, confess what Keating has taught them, but forced by his strict father, Todd regretfully signs a written confession casting blame on his former teacher. Keating is accused of inciting the boys to restart the Dead Poets Society, and is fired even though they recreated it themselves.

In the film's dramatic conclusion, the boys return to English class following Keating's termination. The class is now being temporarily taught by Nolan, who has the boys read from the very Pritchard essay they had ripped out at the start of the semester. As the lesson drones on, Keating enters the room to retrieve a few belongings. On his way out, Todd apologizes to Keating for having signed the confession, citing the force exercised by the Academy. Keating acknowledges this. Nolan sternly orders Todd to be quiet and demands that Keating leave at once. As he exits the door, Keating is startled to hear "O Captain! My Captain!" being called out by Todd, who has stood on his desk as Keating bid him to do earlier, demonstrating the new perspective Keating has taught him. Furious, Nolan warns Todd to sit down immediately or face expulsion, only to be interrupted as, one after another, nearly half of the students stand on their desks calling out "O Captain! My Captain!" as a form of salute. One student who does not rebel is Cameron (the snitch). The looks in the boys' eyes reveal that the life lessons Keating wanted to impart to them through poetry will be taken to heart. With tears in his eyes, Keating says: "Thank you, boys. Thank you," and then walks out of the classroom for good.
