Chapter 12- the world's ending
Today is monday. Today was supposed to be an ordinary long and draggy monday, but it wasn't, there was the world championship debate finals... Everytime i thought of it, my stomach plunges into a poooool of nervousness, and this increases my heartbeat rate. So after reccess was physics and the more i attend physics lessons, the more i give myself an opportunity to hate mr ng. He should just pack up his bags and head home. I can't stand his lessons. I wanted to just lay my head down and study myself at home, but if there aren't many people doing that, i cannot be one of them, so i forced myself to keep my head up.. but i still didn't absorb much. Next was the world championship debate finals. I had already written my opening speech and whatever yuan hong said, i had to somehow fit my speech in to answer his question. As we already guessed what they were going to say, i could prepare myself. But what yuan hong said wasn't much of what we expected, but i still tried to fit my speech in and still not miss any point at all. I was quite nervous actually. I think my speech had too many points and some points were quite profound. My mum told me to change the words like children are susceptible to environmental influences. I agreed but i was too lazy to change them. Most of these were found in my mum's psychology textbook actually, that's why they sounded so profound..I didn't deliver as well as i was supposed to, i didn't deliver the penguin story.. But it all doesn't matter. But Peera's group was repeating what they had been saying since the first speaker said it. Parents must be there to guide their children, children cannot make all the decisions, children these days turn to drug abuse and leaving home. How many times did they repeat that? Firstly, they made it sound that we said that we should let children make all decisions and that we should kick the parents away. WE STATED CLEARLY THAT CHILDREN SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MOVE WITHIN WELL_DEFINED BOUDRIES OF ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR!!! But they kept saying it again and again. That's probably why latif was left with nothing to say, firstly, because he didn't prepare himself, secondly, he isn't very good speaking in public, thirdly, robelle's group kept repeating the same points but we didn't want latif to repeat exactly what i said.
So after school, i just told the yh kenneth and teck siang i was in a pooling mood because i watched the mosconi cup yesterday night and i've got the feel. When we went today, yuan hong beat my surprisingly 3 times in snooker. This was his day. Then kenneth proceeded to challenge some students from st andrews sec, a tag team game. I played horribly, that's why we lost. I knew although kenneth didn't say so, he blamed me for it. Then kenneth decided to tag with teck siang instead, and he said i wasn't on form today. But i told him i needed to redeem myself after showing everyone how nooby i was. But it was only appropriate for kenneth to decline tagging me and tag teck siang instead. I was definitely unhappy of being left on the bench, on the sidelines. But it turned out teck siang suffered the same fate as me and he played horribly as well, thankfully, they won, but just by luck. I decided to set a game for myself and asked them for a last game, this time, i decided to tag yuan hong. Yuan hong is a good player, but he doesn't seem to play seriously, he laughs all the time. But because of this wrong perception, that he isn't a good player, you feel pissed when he beats you, because he is quite a good player. This time, with an element of good playing alongside me, we played very very well, and i told yuan hong he was playing great today. He almost got the last ball in but it unluckily hit the jaw of the mid-pocket and missed, but it was great effort. They missed a couple more and it was my turn this time. The eight ball was right down the bottom half of the table. And my cue-ball was at the top half of the table. The eight ball was in the middle, and near the cushions. For this kind of shots, people like kenneth, teck siang and yh would surely try to double it. but i tried to go for the cut. I positioned myself and feathered a few times, then positioned my cue to the left side of the cue ball to create a left spin, then, the final draw back of my cue and i struck the cueball, it spun leftwards and so thinly sliced the eightball, sending it rolling sweetly into the bottom left pocket. WIOWWWIWWW, ok we won.
