Wow. If my blog was a puddle of water, there would have been a dengue breakout already. Sry for not updating my blog. xp. Cos I didn’t have much time and I didn’t feel like updating in the past month or so. Many things happened in the past month, so I guess I’ll just touch on a few.

You might have already received the news that I have transferred to the sprints section of TnF. this is due to the unfortunate closure of the throws section. =( omg, it was so sad lar. but im not the worst affected actually. many people were affected more. like that sec 1 who was committed to throws, and had some long-term leg injuries. he didn’t and doesn’t hav much choices. hope he feels ok. and Jack too. Jack is the most senior and committed thrower to have been affected (sec 4s get to finish their last year). after such a long period of hard work, and then having to switch, its not easy. Jack joined scouts 01 and I, after a long and hard decision, decided to stay in TnF, in a different section. So I had to learn everything starting from the very basics. and since sprinting required very different parts of the body, I had quite a hard time adjusting to their training. I’ve improved slightly, and will continue to work hard! I hav to thank a lot of the TnF pple who helped me greatly, in one way or another. especially Dedrick, who has been teaching, providing me advice, and encouraged me a lot. (ok, I’ll work on my technique, leg power, and confidence!) Thank you!

Oh yea, recently, we had our NAPFA test. I got 29 points. Could’ve gotten 30 if not for my pullups. but im glad I got gold. =D (will try to get 30 points next year!)

(Oh no I cant remember what happened, maybe the exams killed too many of my brain cells... will update here if i remember any)

Random, philosophical section (read this to get a possible headache)
Part 1

I saw Wan Jing saying that she’s a liar. and I randomly thought…
In what situations can someone call himself/ herself a liar?

-A person who speaks the truth, wouldn’t say that he is a liar. (A truthful person would tell the truth that he speaks the truth.)
-A person who tells lies, wouldn’t say that he is a liar. (A liar would not say that he does not tell the truth.)

Therefore, no one can say that they are liars!

However,
This is assuming that a person ALWAYS speaks the truth/ tells lies. (which is not practical in real-life)

Nevertheless, Wan Jing, I believe you are not a liar! =D

Part 2

This part is on why we shouldnt lie.
1. You should do only those actions that conform to rules that you could will to be adopted universally.
2. If you were to lie, you would be following the rule: "It is permissible to lie."
3. This rule could not be adopted universally because it would be self-defeating; people would stop believing one another, then it would be useless to lie. (and the rule would be useless, since it might be a lie)
4. So, you should not lie.

This is adapted from my sec 2 philo course.
