Kids' shoes are cleaner that that of an adult. That is what many adults think.
You board the MRT, and you see 3 irritating little kids running around, screaming at the top of their voice. AFter a while some people start to get off the train, and there are some empty seats around. You sit down first, and tries to sit. The mother sits down too and the kids follow. But now there is a problem, there are not enough seats for the kids. They all want to sit, so two of them share one seat, squishing the innocent you beside them. Kids, being kids, can never stay still for more than 3 seconds. Soon, in the already very cramp seat, the kids start to jerk around as they accidently poke each other and some of them starts squealing. They did not bother taking their shoes off. You open your eyes, only to find that you are beside the squealing little pigs - i mean kids, but there's not much different, is there? Both squeal, squish each other, and make a hell lot of noise.
Now the parent points to something outside the window. At once the kids stand on the seat and points at a distant object, yelling to the kid at the other side. Maybe the kid even starts jumping about. One steps on another's toe. The kid starts wailing, and kicking the other kid. Now they get into a fight, kicking at everything - including you - with their shoes.
Finally the train stops again, and saves you from the ordeal.
Now I always find it very irritating when the kids act like that. Espacially when the kids stand on the seat and jump around WITH THEIR SHOES ON. Plus, the parents do nothing to stop them. The seats don't belong to them, does it? And I don't see why kids are allowed to do that in the first place. The shoes of kids ARE NOT in anyway cleaner than that of an adult. In fact it might even be dirtier. Yes I agree that sometimes parents do carry their kids around, so they don't quite walk around as much as adults do, but when they DO walk, they go around stepping in mud, running in water, so i don't see why their shoes are considered cleaner! Or perhaps the parents just don't care.

Interference with Evolution?
I've been thinking about this. We have been interfering with the evolution of many animals, but also our own.
A long time ago i read this book talking about what is evolution (i believe it talked a lot more, but this is all i remembered). They used lizards as examples. Lizard species X have two different colours. Bright orange and green. Bright orange allows predators to easily spot the lizards (disregarding other issues such as bright orange meaning the presence of poison etc), while green makes it harder. So it would mean that more green lizards would survive to reproduce, so as time passes the lizards with better camouflaging skills would survive and be able to reproduce, so species X, originally consisting lizards with 2 colours, would evolve into green lizards.
The reason why i linked this with the human evolution is that as our medical skills improve, more and more people with weaker immunity survives and reproduces, so it affects the evolution of humans. Originally, humans are suppose to evolve and have better immunity, but because our medical skills have improved, but because of our improved medical skills, human might not grow to have stronger immunity. And consider this also. In war, the soldiers who die are usually those healthy ones, for weaker ones are unable to battle. So stronger people actually have higher chances of dying.
So stronger people die, and weaker people survive. What will humans evolve into?
This is just my personal thoughts. I am not saying that we should not improve our medical skills.

I can't believe I haven't posted all holiday... ... never mind. I've been listening to Sick Puppies' songs recently, but i'm unable to get their songs online. Even if i can i some time feel very guilty. After all, getting the songs from the net is illegal and it's bad. The authors don't benefit from it. Today was rather boring, school, a couple of old games, then did a bit hw, then watched TV. Not a very nice start for the first day of the term. Never mind, these things will never change, so there's not point talking bout them. I went to watch Narnia, Prince Caspian during the holidays. I can't really remember what was in the book so i don't really have any comments, but one thing i hate about the Narnia series is that they try so hard, they fight so hard, but in the end Aslan comes and save everyone. "YAY". Some parts of the Narnia is really illogical, like when they grow old in Narnia but when they return to their original world their thinking was still the same as before. Hey, even if ur physical body changed, your mind didn't right? They could still remember what they did in Narnia after all. I've found out recently (I know I'm slow...) that i am the logical type of person. I don't like illogical things. I have a habit of creating a story in my head since very young, and i have been insisting to be as logical as i could have been. I like english, but my english isn't very good. To me, english is the illogical type of thing. In school i'm better at things that actually require logic, like Math and Science. I like math, really. I like the satisfaction i get when i solve a really hard problem. I'll stop here for now, I'll continue some time later (I know I'm talking to the wall. No one has ever visited this blog)

Improvements
Well my life isn't as bad as before, and i finally understood what my seniors meant when they say that your life will get so stressful your CCA would be a way to destress. Back when i was in primary school my school work was not stressful at all my CCA seemed to be stressful, but now, school work is so much more stressful that my cca my cca seemed so relax. my friend lost her phone today, but some honest HCI guy returned it to her. Life isn't fair. i lost my phone a week ago and no one returned it to me, while my friend lost her phone today, and that guy returned it to her today... ... Sighs

Stressed Out
I'm sorta sick and tired of my life. I mean -- i keep losing my things and stuff like that. i lost my watter bottle, then my watch, then my phone. and after that, i borrowed my mom's phone and sorta spoiled it. all those ridiculous things that are happening in my life is giving me more stress than my school work. back when i was 12 i didn't face so much stress even thought i had to face a major exam. even the day before the exam i did not feel much stress. but now -- i'm sec 1 and i'm feeling so much more stress. i don't know why everything bad seemed to happen at the same time. i am going to meet my cousin on sunday and i have to do a project on saturday, meaning that i would have to skip my tution and cello lesson. normally i would have changed my cello lesson to sunday but i'm going out... ... my parents insist that i can only go if my cello teacher confirms that the lessons are charged by how many you go, not how many there are in a month... ... i lost my phone, spoiled the second one... ... how on earth am i suppose to contact her

I WILL BE DEAD MEAT BY TOMORROW
don't expect some pieces over here. i'm writing about my life, and yes, i'm no better than dead. I LOST MY PHONE. my parents have warned me over and over again not to loose my phone or i won't get a new one cause my current phone cost about 200++ sgd. if i'm not dead, what am i? they will find out sooner or later that i lost my phone. i'm still wishing that i will be able to find it tomorrow. i knew that i was still with me when i went to the computer lab with my friend today, as i was still playing my game on the phone, but i couldn't remember what happened after that. i might have left it in the computer lab, lost it on the way to my classroom, or simply left it in my classroom. i went to the computer lab after school to look for my phone, bu tit was locked. so there is still this little amount of chance that it is still in the computer lab. if i lost it on the way to my classroom, i would say i just got a free ticket to hell, as there is almost 0% chance of getting it back. the possibility that i left it in class is about 10 or 20% as my friend called my phone when we were standing outside the classroom (it was locked) and we heard nothing. so what's going to happen to me? i don't know. i'm rather surprised that i am still tying in 'proper' (i'm being as proper as i can be) english. normally, if i'm feeling as pissed as i am now, i wuld b typin liddat.

Some thoughts
Actually to me, I don't really like Singapore's primary school education system. It's like you can just score by memorizing and memorizing. Just after the exams you can forget all that you've learn. For schools that force pupils to memorize compositions, I think that it's even more pointless. Writing, to me, is a kind of enjoyment, not a chore. But if someone made me memorize compositions when I was young, I'll think that writing compositions is a chore. I don't have my own style, I'm just rewriting something that someone else has written. You might say that you get high marks and things like that, but is going to school just about scoring in exams? Is writing just about scoring in exams? I don't enjoy writing Chinese compositions, particularly because it has little room for imagination. It is a chore to me. Totally meaning less since I can't really express myself in those compositions. In my school, writing Chinese compositions is just memorizing good phrases, not actually enjoying it. What, I always ask myself, is the point in doing that?
