A twist and turn
It's the french open! 2 days ago, i was delighted! Simon won in straight sets after a 1st-round-5-set-match. It's been a long time since he played and won comfortably. However, 2nite, i feel so terrible. Simon lost in straight sets to the guy he won 2 years bac to win a tournament. I totally do not blame him. He was injured. He was sort of limping towards the end of the game. @ least he did not give up and would rather concede the match than to retire due to injury. He really has good sportsmanship! He is so fragile that 1 little injury may cause a great impact to his body and that's wat worries me the most. I am afraid that his injury is too serious that he have to miss the next tournament. he was already down with flu now he has an addition knee injury! omg! y is it so unfair! y is he so unlucky? i really hope that he recovers and i wanna let him know that he has my support! Hope all French dont blame him too and dont dislike him too. he too feels sad! JiaYou, Simon!

4r5 class gathering
R5 class gathering
It was a really long time since we had a 4r5 gathering. Yesterday, most of the 4r5 classmates gathered together to celebrate chongmin's and vincent's b'dae. We has alot of fun! Firstly, after skool, i met vincent, phil, zhipeng and leon(he looks alot like my brother).then, we went to tampines mall to lunch, shop for stuff and met the rest, youming, yijie, panbin, junjie. After tat we headed striaght to sherlyn's hs. We met liyi and lionel there too. After settling down, sheryln went to fetch aileen while, yijie, youming and i prepared the cake for vincent(he totally didnt know that we were celebrating for him too). As expected, when we brought the cake out, he was totally shocked. Then he and the rest of the girls played around the cake by smashing some cakes onto each other's face. Quite fun though. After tat, yijie, phil and i started wrapping vincent's b'dae present(a lollipop) with newspapers into a ball. Then while he was opening it, phil scared him as though there was sth scary or disgusting inside. All shud see vincent's reaction @ tat time. it was really hilarious. His action @ that time while opening the present bcame a little sissy.haha! Ltr, we decided to use the same trick on chongmin again since our plan on vincent worked. The only difference was that cm's ball was bigger but had nothing inside. Ltr, yijie and i went to the pool area while the rest chose to remain @ the hs. soon, sherlyn n youming joined us and soon again we phoned the guys to briing everything down to the bbq pit. Kenny, dominic, oliver, kangsoon n huiqi then joined us. chongmin finally arrived while sherlyn n youming went to fetch jinye n rick n ordered extra food too. Ltr, when they finally reached, we told chongmin to open her 'ball', while youming went on to prepare the cake. chongmin opened the 'ball' too fast that i have to convinced her that she dropped her present in the bin to store time for the cake to be ready. i have to even ask the rest to help. she looked a little worried too! hahaha! Then, we brought the cake out, sang the b'dae song and finally 'revealed her b'dae' present. I can tell that she was very shocked. Almost exactly the same as vincent! i was even praised for my good 'acting' skills! cool! I bet she felt very touched. After that, we begin eating and having our grp talks. then, we began our class tradition and started gambling @ the clubhouse. We left until the clubhouse was abt to close. Next, we tried fitting everyone into the lift. the lift did close but the, to our horror, the lift did not take us to level 12 but instead keep falling to to the 1st level. It was a coaster ride, it kept sinking our it reached lvl3. As soon as the lift opened, we rushed out of the lift and took the other 1 in 2 separate lifts. then, we settled in sherlyn's hs and we started our small talks again. Surprisingly, rick n oliver wanted to learn tennis and i told them tat i wanted too n our coach was Sherlyn. Yay! @ least i found some tennis partners, After tat, we took another group photo and then we headed home. Oliver kenny and dominic i think took a cab home while the rest tagged along in my mum's car for a lift to the kg. mrt. Can anyone imagine, we fitted 11 people and 2 dogs in a car! tat's so amazing! aft tat, went home to watch survivor.

OB topic: perception
Perception
We've recently touched on the topic, Perception, and i feel that this topic is very relavent and i could not agree more to the content. People tend to be bias to the people they favour and against the people they dislike. I feel that this is totally true! In the booklet, it states that this perception of thinking is called the attribution error. It is difficult for 1 to put oneself in someone else's perception especially when we have to judge against the 1 that we favour, but i know we still have to try so if not, others will judge your perception as a bias 1. so, try to put yourself in the different perception before making a comment. 1 incident that occured to me recently was the Fernando Verdasco incident. While watching tennis in my parent's room, i commented about him being vain as he is probably is one of the very very few guys who style their hair(his is a mohawk style) before every match. And i mean style and not tidy. Even the top6 in world did not style their hair, so why should he? Is he attending a party or what? However, i was then rebuked back by my mum saying that he was jus his personality of wanting the crowd to c the best of him. She also said that i should not critise him jus bcoz i dislike him. However, towards my favourite tennis player i would be very protective of any critics. Therefore, i realised that i have a bias view. To me, many issues or comment made contains biasness and we should be vigilant enough to spot it so as to not let these comment affect us.
