*slaps self*

I find myself daydreaming during the chem paper for about 20 minutes. As a result, I just barely finish the paper, even having to cheat abit. That being said, I think I'll be free for 3 months next year, so if anyone wants to hire this *friendly*,*responsible* and *hardworking* man for any job paying more than $500, gimme a call.

And even if I do scrape into a JC for 3 months, traveling from kambangan to yishun, jurong or serangoon isn't exactly an exciting prospect.

There seems to be a conspiracy in the school. Apparently, the school board is collecting $15 a term for so-called "printing costs". What bitches. There are 1553 students in the school. Assuming every single student gets duressed, coerced and hassled into paying up, that's $23 295. dividing by the standard rate of 5 cents per page, that's 465900 pages total, or 300 pages per student per term.Mulitplying again, that's $93180, 1200 pages per year. Since printing is done in bulk, that makes the pages go down to about 3.5 cents per page. I'm sure as hell we don't receive that much material. I doubt the Sec4s even received 1000 pages in 2 years. I'll do a rough count for class 4H for the whole class the whole year.

EL- $50
CL- $25
History- $20 (exam papers are 4 pages long)
Lit- $50 ( "written work" taken into account)
Emaths- $150 (exam papers are long)
Amaths- $80 (blame mr phua's notes. Sec 3 produced about $0 from Ms Loo)
Physics- $100
Chemistry- $200

That adds up to $675, and I'm sure most of you would agree that I overcut most of the costs here. Above that, VS is a government school and still collects school fees, so how can it add up to so much. In addition to that, all the past year exam papers were paid for by ourselves outside of these costs. So where does the extra money go? If it went to rising electricity costs, they shouldn't have labeled it printing costs. Even then, Victorians have proven that they can save electricity. And besides, how high can the costs go. Max I expect is $8000 a month, which is almost certainly not true. And even then, costs decrease during holiday periods so how can this be true? With the support of the government, this shouldn't be a problem. VS is also one of the best government schools in the country, so how can we blame this on the ministry not supporting us? There is foul play here, and these are the suspects.

1) Ang Pow Chew. Much hated principal of Victoria School. Even since he became the principal, the ranking has gone down, down, down and down. So maybe he wants so suck as much money from us as he can and leave VS as a neighbourhood school. Sly moves from a rafflesian. As if his 5-digit salary is not enough. He dosent even have children to support. What an ass.

2) OM Chia. Almost as inadequate as the above person, all the does is shout at people every day and not much else. has gotten so bored that he tried to go diving in the school's eco pond once. Again, another holder of a fat paycheck and also a container of bullshit. The only argument people might have against that is that "How can he be smart anough to embezzle funds?" Maybe he's smarter than he looks. He's doing this so he can say Ang put him up to it. Also, being a formaer policeman of the CID*gasp*, of course he would know how to worm his way out of punishment.

3) Mr Maran. Normal people look out for their enemies. Wise men also look out for their friends. Go figure.

4) Sagar Ghandi. Another much-hated figure in the school. No harm suspecting the wicked of a wicked act.

5) The staff, who do not feel they are being paid enough. Fair enough. Their salary is being pocketed by the first 2 suspects anyway.
