Let's just say that I'm putting on some weight and it's high time I start sweating out on the court again. Panting after 15mins of skipping rope is a sure sign that I've not been working out much, although i know it's quite a precendent for me to laze around no matter the conditions. The juniors' skills are on a rapid amelioration, too fast for me to keep up. It's pretty clear by now that any sec 3 who is still unable to beat me is lacking behind the normal standards.
Chemistry practical today hasn't been the best I've had, with blatant mistakes marring every image that i strive to create infront of the examiner. I can't believe that it slipped my mind; Even the most simple task of reading off a thermometer could go wrong! Well besides that mundane exercise, the rest of the day ran rather smoothly. I had my first chemistry lesson with a single snide remark from the teacher.
The inspiration speech during assembly in class didn't appeal to me at all. It just felt like someone's been boasting about all his achievements and telling the audience that he is not; that he is trying to portray the idea that his achievements did not come without effort. It's quite clear, of course. Who on earth gets things without effort. It's like emphasising on a theme that everyone is already familiar with so that the accentuation would have an impact on his audience. Too bad singaporeans are all too aquainted with such pompous and vociferous boasting.
