TitleAn intrusion of privacy?

Many may be wondering about my sudden disappearance for the past two days. It has been brought to my attention that many of my offline aquaintances and schoolmates are starting to discover this domain and this had gone to an extent that I cannot openly express myself here any more. How on earth can I peacefully write something in this journal only to hear my friends discussing about what I had written on the next school day? My sole purpose of even setting up this domain is to seek solace as well as to escape from my offline life. However, I am unable to do this when this journal has actually been read by people whom I know offline.

From what I heard, some classmate had discovered this journal and had started to spread the news around. Even people from other classes and the Arts Faculty had discovered this and I am getting really frustrated about it. It makes me feel extremely uncomfortable knowing that people who know me are actually reading about my private life. For two and a half years, I happily owned this domain, which went completely unnoticed by offline aquaintances. However, when I am faced with such a predicament, I really don’t know what to do. To whomever who had spread the word around, I shall personally track you done and castrate you. Some day.

If you are reading this, and you are someone who had been referred here by someone in Tampines JC, please do me a favour and read the disclaimer. If you agree with the terms mentioned regarding Journal privacy, good. But if you disagree with what had been mentioned, I request that you disappear immediately. Not that I am trying to be rude or unfriendly, but you’ll have to understand that this is my domain, my space which I had paid for, so please respect my decision(s).

Just a note to Clara, Steffe and Erica (Xiaowugui), the above doesn’t apply to you :)

Anyway, the A’Level Chinese paper was a complete fiasco, especially paper 1 which consisted of the essay component. When I glanced through the first option question, I panicked and the trepidation increased when I went on the browse through the second question. By the time I finished reading through all the questions, I didn’t even dare to look at the paper any longer. I had to face the awful fact that I couldn’t think of an essay outline for all the four questions. Furthermore, the air conditioning in the examination venue was so freezing cold that I could barely think. As a last resort, I randomly selected a question and began to write complete rubbish, or whatever which came into my mind at that moment. Luckily, the second paper was better than the first, but I definitely can’t count on passing this exam…

My grandmother’s birthday celebrations was quite eventful, but I shall cover the details another day. This entry is getting far too long…

Styrofoam >> Your idea of “lame” is merely your perception. Although this may be the internet, but this is my domain which I have paid for, and I have the right to express myself about things like this. In this case, it so happens that you have a different opinion from mine. However, you seem to have a problem with what I had spoken about in my journal. As mentioned in the disclaimer: if you have a problem with anything mentioned, you are most welcome to disappear. Nobody is forcing you to read this journal, and nobody is forcing you to have the same opinion as me.
