MR NG YUKANG WANTS(DEMANDS) ME TO POST HIS JOURNAL ENTRY ON MY BLOG.)This is his journal entry. So the content he wrote is from his perspective, not mine.Have fun reading!!!I had a wonderful night the day before as my cousin just got married and I attended her wedding dinner at Fullerton Hotel. The food there was simply wonderful. The sharks fin, the fried rice, and the roast duck. I also had my first experience of drinking red wine. The taste of the red wine still lingers in my mouth. I wanted a few more cups of it but as I had school the next day, which is today, both my parents did not allow me to drink more than a cup.
When I reached home, it was already 1150pm and I bathe until 1215am before I went to sleep.
The next day is the start of the brand new week. We are supposed to have our English lesson after our physics lesson, but Mrs Yap wasn’t free at that moment, hence we went to take our height and weight. I grew about 1cm to 179cm, and I still weigh around 62kg, which is considered skinny. My wish for the upcoming year is that I can grow fatter so that I’ll look better in more shirts.
After the monotonous day in school, we stayed back in class to kick ball. Our aim is to score goals, when the target was the width of the table. We split into groups of two and started our “match”. We had our classmates looking out for teacher outside the class while we were having fun in class. Soon, it was already 330pm. Most of the classmate left, leaving me with Brandon Phua, Filbert and a few cross country runners in the class to clean up the mess.
We were cleaning up for a few minutes and preparing to go off when Mr Goh Kee Yong came up to the class. Upon looking into our class’s clean state, he decided to pick on other things. He asked us why we weren’t having our self study. We told him we were given the options of whether we want to stay back or not. Of course, we did not choose to have self study. He started the long preach for more than 15 minutes facing just 6 of us. We had no choice but to listen to his speech on how we should study. Of course we know it’s the important year, and we will study, but we also need to relax.
After his long preaching session, he stomped of the class, leaving the 6 of us doing self study until 4 o’clock. It was training time. The C Division Boys were having their own competition while we the B Division Boys had team match. I paired up with Samuel Tsang in doubles and we were anticipating the game with our nemesis doubles, Brandon Ho and Joo Chuen, our junior. The last time we had our match, we won them 3-1. It was really exciting as I did a few stunts saving the “impossible” balls. I stretched and dived and slid. My ankle suffered as a result. Talking back about today’s match, they had better coordination than the last time. However, we were still better. They were leading 2-1 in sets, but we came back and won the forth set. Then it was the deciding set to decide the winner. We won the 1st controversial point with me hitting the ball on the net and it landed at the edge of the table, making it not possible to save. It was a breeze for us. We were leading them with the score of 6-0. It was then my turn to receive Brandon’s service. His service is known to be the best in the Catholic High Team. I made two mistakes in receiving the services. They started to get a few more points and I got panic. Nevertheless, we continued and won the game.
