Umtata High School Song

To homes amongst the mountains
To homes beside the sea
To rolling hills and valleys
Of country wide and free
We'll take our happy memories
Of this, our noble school
Of sports, of friends, of studies
Of days both bright and full.

'Tis here the great traditions
Of this our land we've learned
Of courage, kindness, freedom
Of tolerance and love
Lord give us grace to carry
Whenever we may be-----
School's teaching and her golden rule
"The Truth Above All Things"



I'd like to thank annonymous for the rest of the lyrics.. I couldn't have done it with out you... and hey... someone actually reads my blog

Where is the Umtata High school song?

I have searched all over the interweb for Umtata High's school song and I found nothing. So my next post will be of the school song followed the school hymn... They will both be written to the best of my memory which i should duly point out is not the best of memories.... so please do comment so i could fix errors that may occur

ROBBED at CPUT, Bellville Campus

I got robbed AGAIN, this time within the confines of Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Bellville Campus, a place where i thought i was safe.

Well let me tell you what happened this time

I was walking to wards the train station on a Sunday afternoon around 16:30, the sun was still up. A coloured guy approached me and and was asking for direction inside Belhar, I responded, I do not know where it is you want to go but there is belhar (as i pointed him there). He then asked is it safe for a guy llike him to be walking in there, I responded i guess so. Take note I did not stop, i kept walking.

Suddenly he grabbed my Jacket and pulled out a knife.. I think it was chef's knife, (i just googled types of knives). He then asked me to empty my pockets, I reached for my pants' pockets because thats where the least valuable stuff were, but on my right hand jacket pocket there was a bulge, unfortunately it was my cellphone a Sony Ericsson WT19i, it fell, he took it and he ran into what looked like a white 2001 VW POLO Classic, it was driven by a darked skinned guy, (Black, or Coloured),

So I ran after the car and went to freedom square residence, where i found a Security Guard (fiddling with his Blackberry) i told him to call the front gate to stop a white Polo, after wasting precious seconds redailling and stuff he finally got through to the front gate, where he was told the polo had just left., so i cried because i loved my phone and when i got to the police station, they told me i had to report it at another police station...


Ad that the story of how i got Robbed

Who am i?

I hope this article turns out well as I am writing it on my Android... (which reminds me I have to write a review about it... From a broke man's view) Back to today's blog...

Previously I have written about events, thoughts, observations and maybe some other stuff... Does that say who I am? Yes it does... I have always believed the signs of a person's true self is always reflected in what they do.

Social Media
This form of communication has helped quite a handful of people a mouthpiece... Now we no longer have the cool kids corner.... Anyone can be a cool kid... with enough imagination of course, Facebook... You could make up your life and everyone will click "like"

Paranoia

I feeling a bit paranoid... it is as if I am fighting against someone who does not want me to win. I find it sad that it is then where i try to perform at my best. I know that the objective of an opponent but school was never meant to be like this... was it?

For example, for a school project i formed a group with Sotho speaking people and when we meet the dialect chances to Sotho and i am left out of the loop. I never liked group project because i suck at this social game... yeah life is really becoming like "Survivor". My inability to socialise has led me to struggle to find group mates for group project.
I have to take the blame, as i think it is up to me to reach out if i do not come out of my shell i tend to suffer in the end.

back to the group with the Sotho's well being a lazy person I chose to take the least responsibility in the group and opt to do the planning

Planning is not as hard as it sounds.. all planning can be cooked just list whatever has been done on a timeline, and lie as to when the undone work will be completed.

taking a laissez faire approach would backfire. Because their standards are quite low I too was subjected to their low marks... and you can tell on some1s face when they do not want to win.

Oh the paranoia part of the story... because i do not attend all group meetings and i do the least work i felt a little tension when i would pitch... and now they just ask for the work i did for them to keep. I think they are planning to kick me out. hence collecting all my work so they would not have something to present, as none of the can effectively use planning software. The last report they handed in gave us a below par score... and the one they were about to submit what looked below par a mile away report. Now I'm left burning the midnight oil tryna improve the document.

All my experience in the schooling system has taught me that presentation is key to all. If it looks good it probably is good.

The scene above was when Megamind :'D met Hal, in their last battle quote below

Megamind: You dare challenge Megamind?!

Titan: This town isn't big enough for two supervillains!

Megamind: Oh, you're a villain all right! Just not a SUPER one!

Titan: Oh yeah? What's the difference?

Megamind: PRESENTATION!

[Cue fantastic over-the-top lightshow]

But you do need some content too so i feel like I'm doing all the work.. :'(

Okay... Today not good

Obviously what could I have expected I allowed laziness to creep in, I dropped the ball. It's good I found the problem early, hopefully I can nip it in the bud (first time using that expression I've heard it so many times though)

Well you must be wondering "What am I on about" got more Mid-term results and they are not going my way...

Having shared academic hustle stories with a good friend a few weeks back I feel inspired to go all out, No sleep again today... Yesterday I had no sleep but was not very productive... Tonight I grab the bull by the balls

On an unrelated matter I have two articles in the pipes

A Laugh or 2

Blogging mostly about fairly serious stuff, it's nice to occasionally share a joke or two.
Back in high school I used to read the "The Chiel" section on the "Daily Despatch", especially the "Tailpiece", it was my sunshine on gloomy days. Here in Cape Town "Tavern of the Seas" by David Biggs is an awesome substitute.
Here's the funny bit:
A man pulled out his phone on a crowded bus and started a noisy conversation with his wife
    "Hello, honey, it's Mark. I'm on the bus. Yes, I love you too. No. I had to work a bit late. No. I really did, I didn't go to the pub. No, I wouldn't go visiting anybody else. You know that. There's only you. I'll be home a bit late, so don't worry..."
     And on and on.
     Eventually a woman sitting opposite him shouted in a sexy voice: "Hey, Mark, get off that bloody telephone and come back to bed!"
Lol I wish I could do something like that, but I'd probably get beat up
