Decisions

Have you ever wondered about all those actions that you did? Or the ones that you planned to do but pulled out all of a sudden? What about those things that you plan to do in the future? Can you classify them to be either right or wrong? Is there anyway that this can be done? Like can a morally wrong thing be justified to be actually acceptable as human nature? For example, you do something that is frowned upon by the society, but, if it was to give you enjoyment or pleasure for that matter or even some benefits, could it be accepted? The act did benefit you in the end and maybe saved you from going into depression. Then again, it may be something that is against the law or illegal, so does it make it wrong instead? Over here, I feel that we have to consider the certain consequences or after-effects of the action. For example, it may please you, only for a short period of time. but would that be a black mark that would haunt you throughout your entire life? Decisions are really important over here and a single wrong move could lead to disastrous effects. But if the act does not have any positive nor any negative effects, the choice is clear. Don’t do it.

Your actions can have really a huge impact on your future. Suppose you treat you friend rudely and ignore him for a day completely, it’ll be ought to get back together with him. Even if you apologize, its definitely not going to be easy. Well, after having going through life for a couple of years already, we should be able to recognize what will be acceptable and not in certain situations. For example, a joke may not be tolerated by someone who is strict while your parents may just laugh it off. Its all about acting in the context of the situation you are in. However, sometimes, there’s the need to experiment with things to find out more about what is right or not to say or do in a certain place. Decisions can change your life for the worst or the better. So the choice lays in your hands. Choose wisely.

Stuck in the moment(Part Two)

Hi there! Woow..blogging can quite addicting haha. My third post in the third week I started this blog. I shall clap for myself now.:P Many things have happened over the last week and these few days. We had our first class outing of the holidays and I just went swimming today.

The class outing was quite fun and we went to the Nex for it. Joel and I reached there quite early and we saw Megan and Aden over there. We kept walking around the place where they were finally, caught sight of us. Finally haha.:P I guess we were there for around 5 minutes until they noticed. Then, we were feeling kind of bored and we decided to like walk around and go shopping. We didn’t actually shop and just walked around anddd..we almost got lost! Did I forget to mention that I have got lost there before? Oh yah, when I went there sometime ago, I went to the library there and saw a couple PDA-ing. They were so cute! And all those smooching noises could be heard! Awww! I even turned around to have glimpse of what they were doing.:P Guess I was just being curious. Plain curious. But oh well, that’s another story. Then, we saw this NERF tournament of some sort that was taking place over there. I bet I can play better than them.JKJK. But, they kind of good, and, boy, some of them really took it quite seriously. Then, we wanted to go down as it was time for us to meet the rest at the MRT. And we forgot how to go down..argh…we took a considerable amount of time finding the escalator. Well, I think around ten people came for the outing, including myself, and excluding Mr Lee which is actually quite a big number considering the worsening haze condition in Singapore now. We had lunch at Fish n Co aaaaannnddd I was made to sit..well, somewhere. After that, we went to Joel’s KTV and spent quite a bit of time over there. It was really chilly in there and I really should have brought along my sweater. I was close to shivering. Brr.. Well, first I tried playing pool and failed miserably and after that we started singing. I decided to sing along too eh. Well, I guess I was too loud and a few actually heard my horrible voice.XD But oh well, I knew most of the songs and I was bored with nothing else to do, so that seemed like my only option to keep me entertained. After that, we played Truth or Dare-Karaoke Style where if you had the mike when the song was paused, you had to either choose truth or volunteer to do a dare. Well, being adventurous(nah, JK), I chose a dare and I had to sing some ‘’Show you the world’’ song to someone, which I actually didn’t do that well, but hey, I did my best.:) Well, after that I played around and my mum wanted me back home as it was time and I left haha. And I left my earphones there. Great. Well, at least it was found haha. The class outing was really fun overall and maybe it could have been better but the haze situation was there so not that much could be done about it.

And swimming today. I went to the Bishan Swimming Complex with my my parents and my brother and we swam a few laps. Well, I did swim a few, but I had to stop halfway. I really don’t know why, but I can’t swim after swimming for 100m. Well, I luckily dent bang into anyone while I was swimming and I had a really close shave today haha. Did I forget to mention that I saw an old man relieving himself there?XD

Aaaand I shall continue with the the story. Maybe I should stop using the aaands after all.

I found NJC in the Selections’ Book and that’s when everything changed. I immediately notified my parents of my decision of appalling to the school for a place there. They were quite unsure at first, since it was a mixed school and all but I somehow managed to convince them. The next day, we went to NJC and applied for a place with all the relevant documents. The general office then was actually quite deserted and I actually thought that I was the only one going to appeal in to the school. After that, i walked around the campus with my mum and I was really amazed at the size of it. It was really huge! Much, much, much bigger than my SJIJ campus and there was even a cafe there! To tell the truth, NJ really impressed me. After that, we went to the canteen and I found it to be quite big too and it had ten stalls, up from the six that I was used to having at SJIJ. Only the Muslim food stall was open and I had to buy for from there. The food was not that bad actually. When I was returning the plate, I saw the contact number of the basketball captain on a poster posted near there and I saved his number. i really wanted to get into the Basketball CCA in NJ. It was only after I reached home that I started thinking about things. Firstly, NJ was a really competitive school and would I be able to cope with the pressure? Secondly, there was going to be a lot of assignments and projects of that sort. Could I handle those? And a couple more were also raised inside my mind. But isn’t life full of challenges? Well, this was also one and I decided to go for it and prove myself. And aww yeah, my appall was successful and I got into NJ. I was really happy and we immediately went to ACS(I) to withdraw my name from their school so that could allocate my place to another person. We actually met a parent outside whose son was hoping to appeal into the school. Well, maybe I helped him get a place? haha. We gave some form that they gave us to NJ and at last, I could call myself a student of NJC, the first ever Junior College in Singapore! Aww Yeah!XD

And in the next episode, haha, I shall talk about the orientation that I had. Till then, bye!:)

Stuck in the moment

Now, I actually have been thinking about how things were last year. For example, like how school was, what my thoughts were, how I viewed myself, my opinion on things and well, basically everything. Many things, if not all have changed from that time. I have changed too as a person, maybe for the better or the worse. My outlook on life maybe changed, the things that kept me going and the things that I used to cherish. Everything. Except, for some, that can never, ever be changed. Last year was a totally new year for me as I came into secondary school for the first time. Let me rewind back to last year.:)

Well, to be honest, I never ever thought that I would come to NJ in P6, even after my PSLE results were released. The first few schools that were being considered by me, or my parents for that matter, were RI, ACS(I), Victoria, SJI and Anderson. There those schools were my options. Well, more schools were actually added on to that list by me after a while, but NJC was never considered by me. I didn’t even know that NJC ever existed then. I actually had flipped through the Secondary Schools selections book many times, but, no, I had never seen NJC there. My posting results came, and I was posted to ACS(I). I reported there on the first day with my parents, and, we were apparently late After that, I visited the school four more times. The day after the posting results, my parents came again with me to sign something and a few days later, I went there, alone. They were selling the uniforms that day and I just wanted to walk around the school to familiarize myself with it. I remember that I didn’t wander off too far and just got my uniform sizes without buying anything. The next day, I went to the school again with my parents and we really toured the school compound this time. We didn’t actually go everywhere but we went to the areas like the canteen and the main school building. Did I forget to mention that ACS(I) was huge?:P To me, then, ACS(I) looked like a dream school with its facilities and all but, it was only after I reached home, that I really started to think about which school I should go to. I looked at the orientation package(or smth, I can’t remember><) that they had given me on the day after the posting. The school fees and the list of the subjects taught were there, including some other stuff like booklets, if I’m not wrong. Suddenly, I felt the urge to look through the selections book one more time. I flipped through and looked for any school that looked appealing. Well, that was when, I first found NJC.

Now, I feel like putting in some To Be Continued thing haha.

Well, first, here, I shall put in a self-intro of myself. I’m Praveen Viji, 14 years of age from Singapore. I’m from this really awesome school called National Junior College (NJC) and from this awesome class, JH201. Liverpool blood runs in my veins and YOLO.

So well, here it goes,

To Be Continued.

Back to square one.

Hieeee!! Haha maybe I sound too enthu about creating my third blog and posting in it for the first time.
This blog is synced with my e-mail but not with the one that I use mainly for communication purposes etc. This will make it even harder for people to find this blog.:P

The June holidays just started, and sadly, to say, I haven’t started on any of my homework yet. I guess none of the days so far have been productive actually and I really got to be kore focussed over the next few days. Reading Julius Cesar is another thing that I have to tackle. I have actually heard some people saying that the book is boring and all, but honestly, to me, its quite interesting. I mean like, although the English used may be really dry, the plot is quite captivating(?). Like, at the end of the book, can you find an actual hero? Or an actual villain?

The last week has been boring and I haven’t actually had that much entertainment. Like apart from the football gossip and the random things on twitter? Nah, not much. I gamed quite a lot actually but I studied a lot too. It never feels like I studied even though I put in all those hours of hard work everyday. It doesn’t fell like the holidays but more like…, the hellidays.

Now, to the competition I had on last Saturday. My team was named the ‘Elephants’ and we had to bowl for 14 overs first against the Raq’s. We did quite well and limited the hard-hitting team to 51 runs which was a huge feat. We also got four of them out. Well, I hope we bat well next week and beat them in the end. We batted against the Sixers and scored 49 runs in 14 overs with all the batsmen out. I contributed 23 runs out of that and scored two boundaries which were five runs each. I got out though as my ball just dropped before the boundary during the last over. It was a good match actually, and I’m not actually that pleased with my performance. I’m sure that I can do much better.:)

Liverpool seems to be doing great in the transfer window so far and we have been linked to quite a number of players actually, and we seem to be close to completing the deals for most of them. I hope no one leaves though, as we had a brilliant team last season with many players improving. Aspas is reported to be heading to Anfield today to undergo a medical before signing for us. Yay! The Ajax duo of Christian Erikson and haha idk the other guy’s name are also close to signing for us. Or at least that’s what the newspapers say. I hope that the rumors are true though.:) Henrik Mhyktarian, I think and the Sporting defender and Papa have been heavily linked with us. Hope they can become done deals by the end of the summer!:)

Some things just go back to square one. Some things don’t last. Some things are lost. Some things are broken. Some things hurt. Some things just can’t wait to happen again. Some people have feelings. Some people don't. Some people just fall, unknowingly. Some people use this. Some people use this for gain. Some people’s love just ain’t that strong. Some people may just let go. Some people may just get angry at the slightest of things. Some people overreact. Some people never want to lose it. Some people may disappoint, but they never want to lose it. Some people just are unaware of how they make others feel as result of their actions. Some people, just, heartlessly, leave.

But these are the things that make up Life. So cherish all these moments. Peace.
