Badminton

Yesterday guess where I've been at 4:30-6:30? Ans: Badminton Court. Now I have a extra class at Saturday-Badminton. I'm not good at badminton, in fact, I don't even know how to get started! But that's not the point I have to go there. It seems that my body is too weak that I have to join a sport quickly...or else.

I tried to talk out of it, because I do not like sports. But, If I didn't, I won't be surfing the Internet on the weekends. So,(sigh) I have to go no matter what. When I went there, I have to warm up, and I'm pretty sure I must have twisted a bone or two. After that, It's group sorting time. I ended up in the boring-est group, which we have to try to start a ball (or those furry thingies). I always did something wrong and then the teachers come to correct me. I'm stuck in this for about two hours. But the group didn't turn out that bad, the others were worse. I was exhausted. I haven't sweat like this for....months. After that, It was competing time. I found out that hitting a ball is much easier than starting a ball. That lasted for about half an hour then the class is done.

When I went home, my stomach began to ache. It probably was because I drank some water when I was doing some hard exercise. Then, it got nasty. It ached so much that I had to punch it to get the pain away. And today...I had a flu. I may be because of I slept at 12:00 yesterday.. or it amy be the symtomps that the flu (which I always have) might be gone. Whatever it is, I've learnt something after I went to the badminton calss.

1.How to start a ball

2.Do not drink water during exercises

3.Badminton may bring me flu (or might cure my flu)

Victory!!

The Public Speaking had just ended yesterday. Guess which place I am???? 2nd! Second place!!! I've had lost to a Indian (Not American Indians, Indian Indians) at the second part. What was the second part about?? It goes like this. The judges give you a title without letting the others know then use your skills to talk about it in the other room so no contestant would hear what is the title. You get 4 minutes to think, and 3 minutes to speak. I had to talk about transportation, and believe me, it wasn't pretty. I only spoke about 5 sentences, then I'm blank. It's really hard to think of a paragraph in 4 minutes. I don't know how the other ones did it, I just couldn't. I guess I would just have to practise and practise until I get 1st place.



So I got a second place trophy. I wasn't dissapointed that I only got the second place trophy. Why? Because they are all the same! Only the colors and the words have changed. The hieght and size remain the same. I'll show you a picture of the trophy.

See, small isn't it? Probably because the school has ran out of money to the trophies! Oh, yeah. The Chinese Speech Competition's result would be known at Monday. I think I know who would win. (A teacher told to somebody then he kepps spreading to others). I need to put this trophy in a bag. I would need it on Monday.

Se ya soon!

The contest...is about to come

What contest? Public speaking (duh) and Chinese Speech Contest (Is is it's name?). They are close.... I mean real close. The Chinese Speech Contest is at the 8th of April and the Public Speaking is at the 10th of April, which is only a week away.

I'm more stressed than the others, cause I've gotta memorize two long texts, at once! It's really hard, even without my memory shortage. 2 of them are one and a half pages long. Even if I memorized them all, I still have to put in it 'different accents' and stuff. But there is one good thing. That is I don't have to have do the spelling on every Friday which I always fail until the competition ends!

Now the thing I'm worried about is the Chinese Speech Competition. It's only 5 days away and I'm not even done with the last part. I really need to memorize it all or I will get a free ticket to listen a speech of responsibility and laziness. It's either listen, or memorize. Now the teachers are guiding us to a way to win. But there are 8 people taking part of the competition in our class, and there are only 6 prizes.

The point taking part of the competion isn't not only about the prizes, but it is about the training of bravery and courage. O.o
