A joyous Experience

Last Thursday was an exuberant day packed with surprises .I was nearly late just by a fraction of a minute and I proceeded to the Parade Square smiling gleefully ( thinking that Lady Luck was shining on me) I sat down down immediately and took out my book to read .Just as I started reading, the bell rang as I put my book back into my bag reluctantly. It was followed by flag raising before the principal gave an pithy speech about the world tilting to the east .I ,instead of paying attention to him , was talking with my friend about random things

Soon ,the talk ended and I returned back to class after penetrating through the crowd .The Chinese teacher asked to finish the 2nd part of our TfU and he gave us a trite and hackneyed speech before let us do our own group discussion . During our presentation ,I came to realise that it was banal and hackneyed .

The PE lesson was more of a relief when we founded out that we are only going to run 100m ,furthermore, we can play floorball before the run .Additionally , our teacher also announced our 2.4km run timing . It was the first I beat the 15 min mark and I was elated. WooHoo! How great is that ! My heart was filled with excitement and anticipation as I took my stick and when up to the hall . We had a hard time organising our teams and eventually ,we started the ball rolling .

It was of great fun and even though we were losing at the start but we manage to turn the scores , hence , we were extremely delighted , maybe slightly petulant. It was our turn to go for the 100m run. By then , I was extremely fatigue and hence I did not do well for my run . My feelings were complicated and they could not be described using word.



The recess bell marks the end of PE and as soon as I was released , I bought a plate of delicious paste and gulped it down fast so that I could have time to rest as well as to change . The rest of day was rather mundane so I should not list them to you. Lastly , my friends and I enjoyed a game of table-tennis. I think that the game was beneficial as it not only trains your reaction time but also help you to bond with your friends. I believed that you should balance study and play so that you would not be overstressed .I truly had a joyous experience.

Exhausted yet Exhilarated

It was a day worth celebration ,it was also one that packed us with anticipation and excitement ,it was the first offical PE lesson of 2010.Woohoo! But now, it was the Mother Tongue lesson ,the most insipid lesson of any day ,particularly today. The teacher was always talk, never stopping just like a radio . I love it when our teacher gives us time for group dicussion – time for me and my friends to chat about things irrelevant to lesson . The Chinese teacher had a funny Malasian accent that many of the “ clowns” like to copy. I counted for the bell to ring in anticipation.

I dashed downstairs and when I heard “ 2.4km run” , my heart sank to the lowest point and I sighed in disappointment . “ Oh my god, don't we always play games ? Why are we running this stupid run today,its such a waste of my precious time.” , I complained to my friends as we strolled to the East Coast Park unwillingly. Walking “far too slowly”-as Mr Xiao had commented,we were punished to do push-up .“ What a exhausting thing to do before such a tiring run , you are one crazy teacher .” , I scolded him in my heart.

Without warning , the starting horn sounded. Everyone sprinted as if they were chased by wild dogs. I knew that they wanted to achieve the best but relax ,it is only the start,it is the long run that really matters. Well, the first round was not that bad and I was not breathing as hard as I've imagined. However ,maybe my pace was too slow and I was overtaken of swarms of sprinters . The second round was hell .Not only did latic acid build up in my legs but my stitch was beginning to ac t up. It was excruciating but being determined ,I told myself how important this is and that I could do it.



Determination and perseverance was what really pulled me past the finishing line . I did it!!! I really did it . I screamed silently in exclaimation to myself when I heard my record timing .The happinss was beyond description .The next second ,I was laying on the grass , too exhausted. I learnt that not only does determination and perseverance help you in time of need but hard work is really was matters . My tremendous amount of training during CCA really paid off. Hard work DOES pays just like our motto said “Nil Sine Labore”

Breathtaking !!!

Fruitful day at school

As usual ,I woke up early in morning , preparing to go to school after eating breakfast . That day,I arrived at school earlier as I was late the day before . Reaching the classroom, I went to my sit ,depositing my bag before I chatted with my friends . Time flies and soon ,it was time for us to get to the hall for assembly. We followed the usual procedures before watching an unique performance – Wushu . It was stunning to a lot of people but not to me because I had seen this countless times to me.
It was following by the CDE-TTT lesson ,one that usually would have been the time for friends to “ communicate” ( I mean chatting) . It is also one that we do not need to do anything . However ,this lesson is the odd one out ,it was not at all insipid. Its theme is Resilience . We were asked to write down our characteristics and personalities . I ,or rather most of class ,was not serious about the lesson and I briefly jotted the answers. Just as I as anticipating for the insipid lesson to end, a short video was shown on the screen . It was an inspirational one which describes how Nick Vujicic , a man without any limbs .It was ironic that he was benign and optimistic unlike some other people with disabilities who are morose and desperate death-seekers .

During Recess ,I reflected on the lesson today as I was truly touched by his optimisim and courage to live on. I learnt that my biggest weakness is petulance and I would learn to take the humble pie more oftenly. The only difference of a glass half full of water and a glass half empty of water is how you look at it. Life is full of the unexpected so do not be discouraged by any obstacle and remember-NEVER give up. I truly had a fruitful day.

Fun and Laughters

Life is full of fun and without fun everyone will be dull and boring. Science research shows it takes more muscles to frown than to smile and a funny man will make more friends than someone who is not . Fun can be shared and enjoyed by many people and for example , when we play a game we have fun. Jokes are a main source of fun and it is like a explosion ,spreading to everyone near you .

Students like us face numerous stress from CCA, homework and now even TfU . Everyday , we endure the insipid lessons through out the day but there is always a lesson that will make everyone laugh till their jaws drop(I don't mean it literally). It is the lesson that everyone anticipate and looks forward to ... the English lesson .The lesson started with ,of course , the greeting -it is not solemn everyone tense to laugh as we greeted. Beneficial lesson is going to start as we jotted down the “ chime” words ( difficult ones ) which I believe to be quite “ important” .

The highlight of day is the reading of story by Mr Hamilton using a foreign accent – Chinese , American or the funniest of , Indian. Its quite an insult to them but they were not only not insulted, but they also laughed ,Oh my God ,Isn't that an irony? Often ,the clowns in our class would have been laughing out loud ( I bet the class opposite would have heard us !).

Just as I thought that that would the joke of the day, something funnier happened. One of the clowns which I have mentioned pulled the chair of an innocent, quiet boy but instead of him falling down, the “bully” fell .Isn't that ridiculous? Such a joke and an irony! I could just could not stop laughing... haha! Oh ,did I forget to tell you why? It is because of another friend of his who is trying to make fun of him.

Stay Happy ;)

Sympathy turns Astray

Looking at the mirror,a faint scar still lies on my left cheek ...

Yesterday was the worst day of my life ,although nothing absolutely disastrous happen but something minor did which thought me an important life-lesson. Finally found seats after penetrating through the crowd , my family and I sat down. The table was filled with empty bowls and plates with a messy array of utensil as we waved our hands for the cleaner to clear our table. “What a day”,i sighed as I felt as impatient as a guy who has not slept for a day wanting to go to bed .
To kill time, my brother glanced all around ,searching for things that would give us a good laugh . Curiosity struck me as he whispered “Look !” , to me, smiling joyously. Everyone's eyes were fixated at one man but instead of escaping everyone's sight ,he continued his “activity”. “That should make an excellent story”, my brother commented. He was a relatively short , extremely skinny,tanned guy who do not seemed like he had anything to eat for two or three days,gulping down whatever that is left over on the plates of a table. “Where did all your sympathy and compassion go?” , I scolded my brother with my face red angrily , “Furthermore ,why did you make such a sarcastic remark?”,I added.
I could not control myself and people near me was stunned that those words actually came out of a mouth of a secondary school student. Some of them even had their head down ,obviously ashamed of themselves. However,the “beggar”(as some of the bystanders called him ) did not bother much about us ,only taking a brief peek. With a big tray of fruit in my hand and a big smile hanging on my face ,i slowly approached him. I held the fruit with both hands and served it to him .Just then,without warning,he dealt a hard punch to my face .My face hurts but my heart hurt even more. My heart was “bleeding”as if it had been pricked by thousands and thousands of needles and fresh tears roll down my eyes .My parents dragged me away ,worrying that he will hurt me further .
I will never forget this lesson.
