I seriously think my classmate Weijun has a problem. He skipped the first 5 weeks of school, and when he finally comes back, refuses to do anything to help himself. And he has the balls to scold me when I don't want to help him pass a project he's supposed to do to another friend to do it for him. And this isn't the first time. Last semester he skipped school a lot. He would have been debarred if we, his classmates, didn't sign attendance and suckered the lecturers into believing he was actually in school. I even had to help him write a letter to our school's director to get him out of trouble. It's seriously quite f**ked up.

When he came back on this Monday, we all expected him to actually do something to help himself. He went to see one of the lecturers in charge of the module he was supposed to drop, so that he could take it. Chow and I followed him, helped him get the parts required for a project that he was supposed to do, and then after Chow left, I waited 40mins for him to meet the lecturer, missed God knows how many buses, and when I finally got on board the bus around 5.30pm it was so crowded I had to stand when I was so tired. And tomorrow he's supposed to hand in his project or something, because he's going off to Taiwan with his mom until the end of the term. Can anyone believe the balls he has? To come school for only 3 days out of 49 days of school, and then fly off to Taiwan for a holiday? And just because of that he wants to hand his project to one of his friends to do and submit for him. He knew on Monday that he had to do it, as he is flying off to Taiwan on Thursday, but he doesn't. I don't know what he has a brain for. It's an obvious waste of a brain. Even today I accompanied him to send his laptop to the MeL service center to get it sent to Toshiba for repairs, due to damage caused by water spillage. And the bastard even asks me to do the insurance claim for him. What the hell? It's your laptop, and you ask your friend to do it for you? And then you lose your temper when people don't want to help you anymore.

All along he's been getting people to do stuff for him, signing attendance, doing projects and other stuff so that he can skip school. He doesn't seem to want to help himself. And I'm seriously annoyed by such people. I don't know how they're going to survive when they go out to work or National Service. Reliance on people is good, just so that you don't cross the line by asking too much. Others have their own things to do as well. You can't expect someone to be always there to help you, as you have to help yourself in order for people to see your difficulties and who'll then help you. The world can be yours if only you'll put in effort. You can't skive all the way and expect things to happen for you at your command. Helping Weijun all the time has made him too dependant on others. He has to learn his lesson. He needs to know that he has to put in effort, or else there will be nothing left for him.
