Vesak Day 2006
School’s been a bore [nothing new] and I have a ton of homework to complete [nothing new] because I missed quite a lot of lessons [nothing new] and have been too lazy to do any of them in my spare time [nothing new]. I find it more enjoyable to spend my free time resting that clearly my work load. [nothing new]
Anyway, I strained my knee. This is perhaps my first time ever getting any form of injuries that involves my legs. Come to think of it, I hardly ever have any injuries in my life. There was once when I was young when I ate like a whole packet of Strepsils in a day because I thought they were sweets. Immediately after that I got sick and an exceptionally high fever. Actually I was too young than to remember what I had contracted but I remembered visiting a hospital and taking multiple blood tests.
Another time in which something rather serious happened to me was when I was young and I was playing this infantile game called “Crocodile” back in primary school. There were these rolls of planks that we would stand on and the person who stood on the ground had to try to catch us without touching the planks we stood on. If memory doesn’t fail me, I fell on the metal part of the roll of plank squarely on my nose. When I got home, there was a huge scare on my face and my mother was worried that I had broken my nose. I had my first X ray after that and fortunately, my nose didn’t require any surgery or facial reconstruction.
That’s about all I can remember regarding accidents in my sixteen years on this planet. It’s relatively little if you think about it, no broken bones, ruptured spleens or internal bleeding of any sort.
Thursday was the last house committee sleepover before the 2005 batch passes down the torch on Monday. I don’t really know if I am sad or happy about it, I guess a swirl of mixed emotions? I realized that the school is freaking hot at night or at least it is exceptionally humid. I was sweating the moment I step foot into the college. We didn’t have to climb the gate that day because there were people leaving the school after they had watched the C.O concert. After an hour of assembling in the canteen, we finally made our way to the hall to start playing some games. At that point in time I was still too hot to even think about playing any games. Even with the fans all switched on; the place was still comparable to an oven, maybe because the windows were all sealed shut! Besides the temperature, I guess floor ball isn’t my cup of tea, seeing as how it is near impossible for me to even hit the small plastic ball.
However, I did play captains ball later and I ended up being extremely sweaty at 2.00 in the morning. Haha, we went to shower after that and made our way to one of the T1 classrooms to watch Bring it on. Not being a very nocturnal person anymore, I fell asleep at 4.00 or 5.00 in the morning while the rest, I assumed, stayed up the whole night watching other DVDs like Ice age.
Woke up the next day at a pretty early time of 9.00 or 10.00 plus, considering the time i went to sleep, and went to parkway for breakfast. I left soon after that because I had to be home to do physics project with Audrey and Louis. The rest of Vesak day was pretty much spent doing the report, thinking of the demonstration and video-taping the demonstration. It was fun I suppose, but our first experiment was a complete failure. So in the end, we just switched to a different experiment which was fairly easy and I think we should have just used it in the beginning. Haha, had dinner with Audrey and Amanda at Pasta Mania after that even though we were initially suppose to be going Darren’s house to watch some DVDs.
