I watched from as distance as this blog frantically calls out to me. 'Save me!', I could make out the words that its html coding was 'mouthing'. Being the magnaimous person I was, I withdrew into its malevolent embrace, in an attempt to stop the rot (or so many has termed the condition of this blog).We had our first ever independent Nan Chiau High School Sports Day today, and congratulations of utmost sincerity I have for those who boldly participated in the events. I believe they include,
#2 Candy Lee Xin Bei
#7 Khoo Yun Zhen Daphne
#11 Lim Huah Yun
#22 Tan Yi bin Alison
#24 Ho Yao Jie Nicholas
#31 Quek Yuen Chai
If memory serves me right, those are all the participants from our humble little class. Though if I had missed out anyone's name, do yourself justice by editing this post.
Our house captain, Yuen Chai, brought us honours by clinching several gold medals, as well as a commendable silver. Although Red House finished sencond at the end of the event, and several points behind eventual champions Yellow House, I think that the efforts that we had put in easily overweigh all the other houses'. And though we came first runner-ups in the 4 times 100 metres baton passing relay, credits must by given to Ho Yao Jie Nicholas and Quek Yuen Chai for their efforts. Kudos to the both of them, and I hereby salute the both of you. -.-^
Mid-Year Examinations are approaching. And like what our dear old mathematics teacher Mr Tan has so often reminded us of (by now it should have been clearly etched in everyone's minds) , we really ought to kill/slay/destroy/annihilate the enemy LAZINESS (oh my, speaking of such a fearsome thing just sent shivers down my spine) .
Many of us do not realised it, but Mr Tan's a veteran in the battlefield. He has 'been there, done that'; and if he claims the enemy's here, then his words aren't meant to be taken lightly (besides, show him some sympathy, he mentions about killing the enemy literally everyday) . I suspect the enemy is using guerilla warfare, acting upon us slowly, bit by bit, and creeping up behind us to carry out a back stab. Such is the fearsome might of the enemy LAZINESS (gosh, don't make me say that word again) . If we are complacent, that enemy will really infest us, and kill us all.
I don't know how many times Mr Goh has said that teachers in the staffroom spectualate that we would bring down the entire level's MSG (perhaps all teachers in the staffroom work as part-time fortune tellers, and all possess a crystal ball) , but we just have to prove them wrong. Action bellows in a voice much deeper than words, and at the upcoming Mid-Year Examinations, I hope we all achieve desirable results.
Good luck everyone!
