 no journey too tough "If you're ever feeling down and out, and you want to give up, because it feels like the world is just throwing one stone after another at you, check out a wheelchair basketball game. Shoot, check out any sport for people with a disability. The athletes aren't superhumans, they're people like you and me. With the difference that they've overcome an obstacle that many would believe to mean the end of the world. It's not the end of the world if you don't let it be. I find it helps put things in perspective.As one Paralympic slogan stated, triumph of the human spirit." -*Luotonen Today's inspirational talk in the assembly hall by Dr William Tan was inspirational. Of course, Ms Chan emphasized a lot on his multiple achievements throughout his life, of how he struggled against all odds. But it was his own testimony which led us to believe in what hard work it is, but we need to never give up, never surrender .
Support the Paralympics! <3 Though we may face setbacks in our life like his first marathon try at the continent of Antarctica (Singapore's Snow City is not good enough to prepare him for his Guinness World Record!) we needa still strive and move, forward. Yeah. ______________________________________________ I wish I could gain confidence and inspiration from this like Jolyne could, as she was involved in an epic drama which resulted in her sobbing hysterically while shaking the callused hand of the famed Dr Tan. But right now I'm like feeling part emo, part numb. At least the impact isn't so bad because I'm not letting myself feel it. I think I won't talk about it. But it's about my mom scolding me about time management which reminded me of how I'm working in Sec two and actually studying for every recent test that I can but still failing at some stuff. Also about how I didn't practise piano today, how it was my fault for eating my lunch which I "couldn't give a shit" about, honestly at 4.30pm when I rushed back and immediately started tuition at 3.15pm, basically tolerating the entire math session with her which helped me improve hopefully but blackened her mood. And she simply shut the bible and said fine, you don't want to read? Then go sleep. And next time just pick up the phone and call your friend because you are wasting time msn-ing her. Why can't you do that? And don't make it seem like you're the victim here. Stop putting the blame on others. Next time, time manage properly and don't leave your homework for last. Group project? ...so late then do. If I find that you're not keeping up in some areas, I shall have to confiscate this (points at laptop) and your phone, because you seem to be messaging a lot. Fine, I just did. Seriously. There is no point in continuing the tragic heartwarming tale of a mother-daughter relationship like this. Make up your own fairytales, Mummy Dearest. "thou shalt not waste time on tears in sec two" QOTD. But please. Let the images speak to you and inspire. And just ditch reading the words after the yellow line.  Hope to make it to the finish line of Secondary Two in
