20th January 2008

It was such a tiring day for me today. I went to my friend's house to celebrate his birthday. When i got to his house, there was already a lot of people there already. I wanted to swim but they wanted to play soccer  so i suggested playing soccer than going for a swim. It was agreed on and down we went to the street soccer court after changing. We played soccer till we lost track of time. By the time we stopped, it was almost evening. We hurriedly went to the pool and jumped in. When i jumped in, i forgot to take of my spectacles and it came of my face and sank to the bottom of the pool. At that time, i was panicky. I did not have goggles and the pool was three metres deep. After a long period of decision making, i decided to sink down to the bottom of the pool to pick up my spectacles. I swam exactly right on top of the spot and sank down. I reached the bottom of the pool, picked up my spectacles with my feet and started going up. I was nearly at the surface when my air ran out. Luckily i managed to reach the surface before i died. From that day onwards, i learnt never to jump in a pool without googles.

On the sixteen of january, after school, Jun Yong, Eugene, Kumar and Howard came to my house to do a project on the subject, design and technology. When we reached my house, Howard spotted the table-tennis table and started asking if he could play. I agreed but only after doing the project. While we were doing the project, all of us contributed including Howard but Howard's attention span was short and was easily distracted. After finishing our project, we played table tennis as promised. Even Kumar joined in even though he was not good at it. Out of all the people who came to my house, Howard is by far the most formidable out of all of them. After which we played soccer. Howard is a very good goal-keeper. At about 6 o'clock, Jun Yong kicked the ball over to the neighbour's house. We went to retrieve it and Howard played with the neighbours dog. Though it was the first time i worked with Howard, i find that he is a person who puts his heart into his work and play.

On the seventeenth of january, i had choir practice. However, on that day, i was more excited than usual. I was more excited as the secondary one students that made it into choir will be attending today and i was very excited to be a senior. After lunch, i did my homework in the library before going to the music room. When Choir practice started, i was shocked to see so many secondary one students in our midst. That practice, the choir was at almost full strength and the music we made to me was one of the best. On that day, we learnt four new songs which were taken from the phantom of the opera. That day to me was one of the best choir practice i have attended as it was the only practice which had the full strength of the choir and i could hear the choirs real potential.
