The Comprehensive Guide To Understanding Glennard -- entry #1

in an effort to make myself more transparent, strictly figure of speech
i decided to blog out stuff about me
such that when and if i say something stupid or hurts u in some way
u can say, glennard is like that 1 la, dun take it seriously or dun be bothered

i see a lot of ppl helping out their frens in such ways
but has anyone helped me yet, i think

The Comprehensive Guide To Understanding Glennard -- entry #1

Glennard \ˈglen-ne:(r)d\ n Organism, half shy, half outgoing human male currently still in teenage years. Known to think too much and talk loudly when it thinks a certain point should be reinforced. However, it is capable of being completely quiet and emo ( see EMO--entry ##) when under stress or awkward situations such as in a room full of strangers. Prone to breakdowns. Relatively creative. Considered by the general populace as one who has low self esteem and is generally negative and slacking

Nil Gramends \ i co(u)ldn't fi:nd the `pro-noun-c(i)a-tion \ n Fictional Character. Alter ego of Glennard Sim. Most commonly found online. It is more brave than Glennard in comparison and has done numerous bold and daring deeds, deeds that will never be mentioned by Glennard to any other, besides those involved. Has a long list of infamous actions, most done online. Glennard usually reverts to this character either online, or trying to escape harsh realities of life. Many of the "creative' ideas are created by Glennard when in his alter ego of Nil Gramends, as usually Glennard will think that they suck and don't even try. Perfectionistic a in certain sense



Some of the things Glennard usually says and what he really thinks

I'm Bored

[What he really thinks]

I feel lonely and want someone to talk to, and was hoping that by saying im bored would instantly be a conversation topic.


Don't Want [to do something] lah

[What he really thinks]

I really want to join it but due to some insecurity issue, refuse and use laziness as an excuse.


Bloody Hell

[What he really thinks]


Bloody Hell


I tell u something/ Do u want to listen?, don't want jiu suan le(nevermind)

[What he really thinks]


Im about to tell you something very important which will either give u an advantage or make me feel better and less insecure, so shut up and listen.

exams over

MYE is over
dun feel like celebrating
din put in much effort so dun expect much results
also dun expect myself to be excited about end of exams

ya i know there are people who really tried their best
they deserve to scream when the papers are over
they are the ones who truly felt that the end of mye was a good thing
nt just another passing day
but among those who screamed the loudest, none seem to have put in effort

maybe tts y i wasnt in the really high mood that day
but i put on the clown's mask
and tried to play the fool
maybe i wasnt even close
hope no one notices

my results are nothing to be proud of either
the only 1 i can think of is probably 8/10 for the first part of cl paper 2
the one with a passage den feel in the blanks
usually i just get a 4 or 3/10
but nothing else really

i din get to see my compo today
i tried personal recount in a long time
it was quite dramatic
if i dun get gd results, i probably wont risk personal recount again

np day
raining again
no hiccups
gd

An Old Essay keeping it here so i can remember next time

Write about an occasion when you were given some good advice and how you reacted to it.

“This could be your big break!” those words kept ringing in my ears. I could still remember that event clearly. I was spray-painting a wall about two blocks away from my school. The piece was almost done when I heard someone shout behind me, ” stop!” that voice was vaguely familiar, but my mind couldn’t process it that moment. Escaping was the only thought in my mind, I even dropped my spray can and bolted towards the nearest exit. At first, I was able to put some distance between him and I, but he soon caught up because I had difficulty breathing through my gas mask.

In a few seconds, the brutish man held on to my arm and shoulder, threatening to report the incident to the police. He said that he would only give me the slip if I took off the gas mask which covered my face. I hesitated for a moment, but after weighing my options, took off the mask. Both of us were shocked as we recognized each other. He was once my Art teacher who was promoted to be a senior lecturer at the Arts Academy. He dragged me back to the scene of the crime and gathered all my spray cans. He said that my piece was the greatest work of art he has ever seen from a teenager and wanted to give me a scholarship to the Academy. For the second time in one day, my jaw dropped. Never in a million years had I expected graffiti to be rewarding. It has only served as a form of self-expression until this point in time. He gave me his hand phone number and told me to give him my decision in a week’s time. He advised me to take this opportunity and make a name for myself.

With a box of spray cans in my arms, I walked home, deep in thought of the slightest possibility of my parents accepting the proposal. My parents were respected doctors who treated family like an army. They were people of science and worked with fixed formulas, unlike myself, who needed creative space to work to my fullest potential. I’m an underground hip-hop and graffiti fan, while my parents followed the National Geographic like it was the Bible. In short, we are the polar opposite of each other.

As I opened the door, part of me was hoping that my parents would accept my decision, while another part was trying to forget the incident. I wrote everything that happened today in my diary, hoping that it would only lighten my mood. I also tried to recall all the good times I had with my family, but it all seemed to turn sour. In a fit of anger and disappointment, I tore out the pages from my diary and threw it away, thinking of giving up and not letting my parents know at all

For the next six days, my world turned upside down. Everything and everyone just seemed to be in my way. My parents decided to take the day off and spend some time cleaning the house, surprising me as they had never let the cleanliness of the house, or anything else as a matter f fact, to obstruct their work. I went into my room, drawing my art pieces when my parents entered and showed me the pages of diary, which I tore out. They said that all they want is for me to be happy. For the first time, I saw their understanding side and a single tear rolled down my cheek as they said.” follow your dreams.”

In the next few years, I graduated as valedictorian of my batch in Arts Academy. My parents also amassed a small fortune, which they used to build a school for orphans, where I was one of the teachers. The school also has a mural facing the gate, the same one that I never completed back as a teenager, still incomplete, with the words written at the side. “ Follow your dreams.”
