Imitation is....

the sincerest form of flattery, but depending on how you see it. Certain individuals see it as downright plagiarism. Myself, I see it as a social experiment, with the potential results an amusement to my own selfish needs. But whatever it is, it must be some kind of fad, like William Hung or handphones or Friendster accounts.

The gist here is, we're not alone(apparently), and some individuals want to jump on the bandwagon. Eventually, F4Arocks ain't gonna be the only class blog in this town(seriously, I bet we're not the first ones, but we're aware of our own existence only; other school's class blogs are probably howling about us, had they existed or even heard of us, some time ago). Now we're the ones howling about originality. Well, to that, I can say, it's our identity we'll keep, and an identity we'll preserve. Anyone else's class blog can stay, but personally, I doubt the longevity, owing to some psychosocial 'instability'.

Anyway, Agan suggested we put a counter on this blog; copy his blog's counter and paste it on this blog's template. Easier said than done, Agan. It worked anyway, but it had your counts on it, so it was pretty redundant. So I went websurfing, looking for a decent counter to add to our class blog. Which I did; if you scroll down to the bottom of this blog, you'll see the counter. I hope you like it. Flames probably don't agree with everyone else. Oh, and those with mad HTML skills, you're welcome to tamper with our class blog(F4A guys ONLY!), put in some lovely bells and whistles, and generally build up our own identity.

Today's the eve of our country's Independence Day. Which translates into a long-winded assembly featuring speeches, loud singing, 'she-males' and a performance by Malaysia's 4th ranked school band! YEAH! That last bit was the best, in my opinion. It never hurts to taste some of the grandeur that made them Malaysia's 4th best. Then we had 'window' seats to watch the unveiling of a football-field-sized 'Jalur Gemilang'. Well, almost football-field-sized. Anything beats having BM. Then we had Add Maths, which featured a long lecture by Mr. James on the disparity of our Add Math test marks. Personally, I can't believe Chan pwned me. Next time, Chan, next time! Anyway, as I've said, the disparity of marks wasn't supposed to be reflecting an 'A' class(oh, here we go again). Then Mr. James handed out some project guidelines for us, and extended the deadline to NEXT Friday. And every school seemed to have obtained the answer. Goody, I'm gonna start asking key individuals around.

Then we had PE, some people played street soccer, some people played Bball. I was content to sit an watch Jon, Agan, Ivan and the others do lay-ups; my thighs were still killing me from the previous taekwondo workout. After that was History. Man, we set a record in History. Apparently our class has the most disappointing marks ever in an 'A' class. Score one point to infamy for F4A 2k5. Booyah! Later was boring, boring English. Not that I hate it or anything, but, there seems to be plenty of exercises every English lesson. Especially essays. Well, at least my vocab gets a good workout.

The week-long holidays were okay, I suppose. Everyone's got post-holiday syndrome(undone homework, forgotten assignments, etc). And it'll be National Day tomorrow, which means, another day of holiday! Oh joy! Whatever.

Oh, and it was Ikhwan's birthday yesterday. We all sang 'Happy Birthday', as usual. Another birthday coming up this Friday, guys!
