Volleyball Virgin No More
Jonathan,Square,Yeong,Leonard,Andrew,Glenn,Hanjie,James and I went to BishanActive (It's my first time there :P) to play beach volleyball after school today!To kill time til 7pm when we were suppose to be in school for our Sports Awards Night.

Square gave me a volleyball crash course before that in school and ouch does my arm hurt!

The sand there is surprisingly very fine and soft to the touch.I've never really played a game of volleyball and it's quite enjoyable actually!All the adrenaline immuned me to the fact that we were all under the blazing hot sun.

When finally seated in the expanse of the Auditorium with the air-con blowing on my sore and reddish skin and a familiar song that was playing in the background which I was singing along to,Mr Goh just had to ruin the atmosphere for me.

It has been about 5 months since we've completed our Sports Night.And a few weeks ago my dad asked me how come we haven't received our Sports Night Medal.I told him we've already asked the teacher and he told us they haven't forget and they WILL give it to us.But being himself,he just had to call the school to ask.

So there I was,sitting myself comfortably,immersing in the heartwarming ambience,when Mr Goh walked up to me and started rambling on and on about how my dad created such a big hullabaloo about the Sports Night Medals by calling the sports teachers (including him) and even the General Office-I knew no such thing!.But with no such justifiable reasons,he began to blame me.His obnoxious tone was pointing the finger at me-what I'm so disapppinted in you lah,medals very important meh,you want your medal,I give you now lah,call teachers,call general office,4 years already you don't trust us meh etc etc.What the knnbccb?!Despite the could-no-longer-swallow-this-accusation me raising my voice and saying It's not me,I wasn't the one who told him to do that,he just asked me some day,he did not relent.Wah you have no idea how much I wanted to just explode like some suicide bomber and tell him straight in his face,"You also know my father for quite some time already,you don't know how he is meh?What he did has nothing to do with me!He is just trying to get some facts right right?If you had been efficient in the first place,would this happen?I'm sure alot of people are wondering too.Even if you're saving to our Grad Night to give out,couldn't you at least inform us?I wonder whose fault it is.If you father stole something,or killed someone,is it your fault?You could say you failed as a son to save him from doing that,but how'd you know what's going through his mind?Then if some guy out there,eg Mas Selamat,killed someone,shouldn't it be your fault too?You didn't contribute your part to make this world a peaceful place to prevent that tragedy from taking place!"

And what impeccable timing he chose to do that-right before the whole thing commenced,with my class and the junior class around with me.He totally ruined my f****** mood.

And the presentation was such a waste of time-50minutes only.Waste the parent's precious time and Shanti's parents who came all the way from Malaysia.

Despite the array of delectable buffet food prepared for us after the presentation,the mouthful swallow of unjust indignation was enough to fill my stomach.
