The Calm before the storm.....

Ever heard of the story of Noah's Ark?About how God told Noah to build an Ark to contain loads of livestocks and animals to keep them safe from the big flood?Sometimes, I imagine...what was the building of the Ark process like? Was it like...ermm..Noah and his family were happily gathering tools to make the world's first anti-flood container....hmm....or should we picture it like this.....
-Noah works really hard to gather the tools while his wife was busy preparing orange juice to
quench his thirst
-Noah's kids would be happily playing around with some animals
-Noah's wife baked some cakes while the kids feed the animals
-They had a little hut near the ship,they sleep there and they were enjoying the sunset....

Reminds you of....ermm....Evan Almighty?....Quite so yeah??
SO here's the thing..we often recognize a fact which is quite obvious to all of us...that..
WE SHOULD ALL STRESS BEFORE EXAMS COME! The usual things that students do are:
*They ask their classmates if any of them have started studying...so that they can get ahead of their classmates....a form of KIASU-ism
*They ask their lecturers about past chapters...a form of lack of concentration when the lecturer was teaching those chapters
*They ask their classmates how long do they study...another form of KIASU-ism
*They ask how long do they sleep in a day....a way to know how a smart student becomes smart
*They ask what they have been eating....another way to know how a smart student becomes smart
*and ofcourse....we have idiots who like to annoy their classmates around....which is..
A FORM OF NUISANCE and DISTURBANCE to distract the entire class MUAHAHA!
This was on a Friday..why most of us are awake?Mr John, our Physics lecturer..who appeared to be teaching during the last period of Friday once commented on how surprisingly awake we are on Fridays.It's because.....we all can't wait to go back...So we have Zhen Jiang scratching his head while pondering on some concepts and Victor drinking like a thirsty bear,waiting to go back to Johor to see his girlfriend.Like the background suggests....let there be light...from above...
Then appeared disturbers like me who loves capturing things that are "caught in the moment"..It appears Chai Yang thought he was some Hong Kong celebrity trying to shoo me off like how Edison Chen shoo paparazzis off....Then, like I said...people are always awake on Fridays...so wide awake..Chao Lin stood up like a stalwart..a young student eager to learn...a young man yearning to know every piece of knowledge he needs....but most of all.....a restless student who only thinks of Friday evening playtime...
Certain students...though exams coming...they just can't help but to give themselves pleasure first before going the hard road...Like Tze Herng...he prefers to call his fictional girlfriend as early as possible to book a table in Friday's..though it was still 45 minutes before Physics is over...and ofcourse...paparazzis like me do get some warm reception..thanks to people like Victor who willingly smile at me and pose with his infamous side fringe that Mrs. Banu asked him to cut so he can arrive earlier for her classes...(I wonder what does that gotta do with arriving late -_-)..Nonetheless...give Ferng Lin some credit....he studies....even when I distracts him..at least he manages to...
Then, we have some unsung champions...who were supposed to do their homework and assignments at home...Nonetheless, people like Theng Fei fits the bill, for being able to concentrate lectures while managing his assignments. Not to mention, Ferng Lin does that too! LOL! We have a genius like Wei Jian..pondering on Mr John's lessons...thinking about how to discover a PERPETUAL ENERGY SOURCE.....or maybe build a TESLA Coil with me...or maybe thinking about what Friday Night Movie that TV3(TV Tiga,local channel) gotta offer for that day...
Sure....of the lot who did not pay much attention...there are still people ....people who are yearning to learn...not the type that I commented about Chao Lin standing up halfway during lectures. But ofcourse, we have Chiun Xin (in specs) asking lotsa questions about WHY? WHAT ?HOW?....so now we know how we make use of those..WH-questions that we had been taught by our teachers since primary school..Then,we have people like Alisha(In yellow), feels irritated by the concepts...showing some annoying face..asking questions disturbing Ferng Lin...while Sue Flyn(...on her right)...were busy compiling questions in her head to bombard Mr. John...endlessly..fearlessly...Ahh...not to mention...we have people like Wei Loong who often dreams himself away from lessons....thinking trials could be as near as the next meal that he was gonna have that day..but wait up....it's still far away..most importantly...it's a Friday,he would say.."Wonder how much I've saved up for the week?Sufficient for clubbing tonight?Sufficient for extra beer sessions?Enough money for ciggarettes?Damn...stressnya...."
Finally...no matter what happens....at whatever situations...we should stand up for the undisputed champion..bigger than champs like Theng Fei. The Undisputed Champ would be Mr. John...the most patient lecturer/teacher I've ever encountered in the entire college...As stereotypical as you may think, you could be thinking...hey..patient lecturers...they are no good! They let u rest....teach u a little and expects you to study alone and move on....but this one is different..he makes you think...like erm...."When people ask you who is your class rep?You can't just say our class rep is class rep..you have to tell the name..."...INCREDIBLE! how he related it to the F=ma formula...

There we go....trials coming up...it's just the calm before the storm....let's do some summary..
We are.............Noah
The ARK is ....Studies....(How much capacity will be taken and left to store every needed knowledge)
The Flood is...EXAMS lor....
God is......God...as always =)

So what should I do?
Gotta start building my "ARK"........1,2,3...1,2,3....1,2,3....1,2,3....!
