If you let me I could, I'd show you how to build your fences	Sunday, January 30, 2011, 5:52 AM a special moment enjoyed with my family A special moment that i enjoyed with my family would most likely be over the festive season, during Christmas and the new year.My grandfather had flown all the way down from Holland(which was suffering from a freezing winter), to celebrate Christmas and the New year with us. During this time we were very peaceful and i enjoyed that time greatly. During that period we enjoyed many things. Especially during Christmas day and boxing day. We had scrumptious food prepared by my mother, and enjoyed opening up the presents the next day. However the most special moment was on new years eve. We walked down to a overpass nearby which had a good position to see the fireworks. There we waited for 15 minutes for a dazzling display of fireworks. Sure enough, they did not disappoint. We watched with awe as the beautiful lights exploded in the distance then cascaded down to earth in a shimmering veil. The fireworks continued to captivate us right till the lat ember floated down. After that we wished each other Happy New Year and began to walk home, not without throwing glances behind, hoping that there would be one more exploding flower lighting up the sky. There were none. "it's OK" i thought to myself, because i knew that next year we would be back, as one family to witness the spectacle again. A picture of the fireworks that day , 1:26 AM something i enjoyed doing alone I enjoy playing sports very much, it being one of the things i enjoy tremendously. Sadly most of them are team sports.(though i do run and cycle by myself). Playing sports is one of those things i love to do, but not when i am alone. it just is not as fun. So what do i enjoy doing by myself? Well my PS3 is one. Sadly, it died...... Yeah, it was prematurely broken. So one of my closest friends left me. Other than that i like to watch TV and surf the net, but i get bored of that easily too. Now i could rattle on about my list of likes but i think i should talk about one thing i like to do. Sleeping. when i sleep it feels like nothing is wrong and all my problems disappear. It is one of the only times where i can relax so much. Just laying down to rest after my devilishly tiring CCA (after school activity. Mine is cross country) is one of the best feelings i can get , 12:17 AM something that happened in school Nothing to write, as per usual. So i have decided to follow what many fellow classmates of mine have done and describe what happened on Friday. So let me paint a picture for you, it was English class, recess just ended so we were chatting away about what transpired. Around half an hour in, my friend Jarryl and I were disturbed in our usual football related discussion by a small jingle, followed by a loud whooping. It turns out that a phone had rang!(our school bans us from turning on our phones) This usually was serious but still not that much as to warrant such excitement. Sure enough the ringing phone belonged to someone called Jing Yuan. That guy is second in class in all academic aspects. Never has he been in any trouble before. Also he is that kind of person who sucks up to teachers, so it was a huge surprise when we discovered it was his phone that rang! What happened next was even more shocking our teacher did NOT even make an effort to investigate, let alone confiscate the phone!!! I absolutely hate it when a teacher thinks that if a student gets good grades he is so much better than the rest of us and he can get away with anything he does! Just my luck that the majority of teachers feel that way. What was good luck though, was that none of my classmates, be it friends or enemies, felt that way. United as one, we voiced our fury at this outrageous injustice. How could a grade on a piece of paper determine that he was above the law!? Everyone felt a sense of betrayal. We protested with our angry cries, as the guilty bowed his head. The whole class was together now, and the only thing that could stop us was that our teacher conducted a fair trial. Later, one of my friends would post in another blog how he marveled at how united we were, and it was true. Finally, our teacher took a look. Tension was in the air. Then my teacher took the phone. IT WAS ON!!! Our teacher confiscated it, impervious to the excuses from Jing Yuan flying thick and fast. I later learnt from a friends blog that Jing Yuan had originally said that he received the call from a telemarketer then stated that he was called by someone in class in a deliberate attempt to sabotage him. What a futile(not to mention pathetic) attempt to deflect the blame onto some innocent. That said I hope Jing Yuan will not have too heavy a punishment, as many of us in class know first hand. I also hope that in the future, teachers may treat us fairly, regardless of grades. But even if we cannot reach that, I know that my class and I will rally together in times of need to repel the cruel hand of injustice. Saturday, January 29, 2011, 11:14 PM something unusual! SOMETHING unusual eh, well lets see, hmmm, Oh! I got it! I am actually sort of, really but not really, semi enjoying blogging. I had this sudden epiphany, this afternoon. I was touching up on some of my others blogs when I thought that blogging was not such a bad thing to do. Sure, it did no beat sports or some other things i enjoy, but, on a rainy day with nothing to do blogging is actually quite fun! Maybe I might blog after my school project! LAZY CAT!!! ON to other things! Due to the lack of fresh ideas I am going to have to resort to the lowest low, writing about my daily life. So bear with me and i will try to get us to a two hundred and fifty word a fast as possible. Well it was Saturday and i was feeling inclined to drop my work and fall asleep. Did i mention i love sleeping? Anyway i was woken up by the screeching of my two sisters. That is not very rare or unusual, as they scream all the time, but then i caught a smell not unlike motor oil. I had a quick glance and guess what! black smoke, albeit a little, was seeping out of the fan adjuster(controls the speed of the fan). Thankfully it was just a bit old and nothing serious, and was patched up fine b the repairmen, but it served as a stark reminder how everyday appliances can malfunction sometimes, so keep alert! Anyway thanks for bearing with me! See you soon! , 1:55 AM Date and time Whoever is reading this, its seems like the time is wrong on my blogs but unfortunately I have no idea how to change it. Sorry :( , 1:53 AM Scare Tactics - Rat Monster Check out the funny video!! Friday, January 28, 2011, 11:11 PM Race at Bedok reservoir. The 60th SAA cross country. (a problem i encountered and how i solved it) This post is about a problem i faced and how I managed it. My school CCA is cross-country running. In my school, cross-country is the most prestigious CCA. We train very hard, almost five days a week are dedicated to running at reservoirs or tracks. The SAA cross country is one of the smaller, less important races leading up to the mother of all races, The Nationals. Still these smaller races were perfect for gauging how you were doing and in what areas you needed to improve on. . So, on Saturday, 22nd of January, i felt like crawling into some hole and hide until the race was over. I was a bag of nerves. i met up with my team at Bedok reservoir, the venue, and prepared. Truthfully, i cannot remember a thing before the race, it all passed in a blur. Tension was in the air as we lined up to jog to the starting point. A huge minute floated by and we braced ourselves. I was dimly aware that someone was saying something over the loud speakers, then i saw a hand raise into the air. It was holding something, a foghorn. At that precise moment all i could hear was the collective intake of breath by a few hundred boys(more or less two hundred). Then the hand pressed down and the race was on. I was so nervous that I got off to a bad start, which was what i had avoiding. My legs felt like lead. I felt a burning sensation but i willed myself to go on. I needed to keep going. I spotted one of my team members in front and tried my best to keep up. However.When i ran about 3km, i started to falter. I was close to despair then. The past few weeks I had felt great, in training i was steadily improving, yet today i just could not go on. I wanted to stop badly but still i slogged on. . The problem was that i felt as if I was on fire.I was so tired and my mind was numb. At some points my legs seemed to move on their own. Time was ticking slowly. I then realized i was around 500m out from the finish line. Then for some reason i turned around and saw that one of my team members had caught up with me. Seeing one of my team members gave me an epiphany. I had ran a bad race, but there was still a chance to make it better, however slight. I owed it to my coach, my team members and my school to do better. I started to run, too pick up speed. My teammate must had the same thought as he ran with me in a sprint to the finish. We overtook many racers but i felt that it was not enough to make up for my botched start. Sure enough, i had only manged to finish at 56th. This was a major disappointment and a big problem for my fitness, as I realized that I was not ready yet. But then I realized a way to solve this problem, i was going to train as hard as i could, 100% commitment. I was going to push myself to the limit with my fellow team mates. That was the only way of solving the problem Thursday, January 6, 2011, 7:52 PM my first blog Hi guys, This is the first time i am blogging. I would have never even thought about doing this if not for my school project which, using threats of failing English, bullies many fellow students into doing this. I don't even know what to write. I am just going to talk about my thoughts on blogging, even though i know nobody will bother reading this rubbish. I feel that blogging is a way to express feelings and thoughts. There is a degree of risk as you can get a lot of flak from what you post but life is without risks. A lot of people blog i guess, and I am gonna have to blog a few more times. Maybe i'll get used to this stuff. One day.		thedeceptionist Vanity isn't a sin, a little narcissm wouldn't hurt.
