Sports dayyyy!!! Finally, no school no mugging no cramming no sitting and listening to tutorials which are totally too fast to catch up.. Had to wake up soooo early.. Urgh... But was real fun.. Our class got second for the 4x400 girls relay!! Was quite funny.. When our class was running, all the supporters kept on running across the field and back to support when the runners were halfway around.. Teachers also ran and ms lim's and mr chin's team quite fast.. Surprisingly faster.. So in the end they won first.

Played volleyball later.. Cannot play volleyball!! Can't serve!! Never ever goes straight!! Out of the whole game, only hit the ball like 3 times.. Yup, but there were quite a few good players. So was a CLOSE match.. 23-25.. Considering none of us has any volleyball experience quite good already la.. Heheh.. Yes t31 combined class rawkz! Went to support the floorball people after that. Damn nice ta watch.. Then felt like we had all that class spirit with all that cheering.. Didn't win anything also.. But everyone had fun. So it was good. Especially sijia!! Wahaha with all that "toilet jalan jalan" drama.. Funneh....

Prize presentation was like.. everyone was so bored we were all doing nonsense.. Taking pictures.. Especially of those sleepy people *evil evil grinz* =P.. Then at one stage, we felt the ground vibrate but it's not the phone type of vibrate.. So we were all like.. O_o.. Looked at each other and burst out laughing.. Damn silly haha.. Then after the prize presentation, sey was like playing with melia's trophy (hm.. k they've gone quite cheapo this year so it's more like a gigantic coin kinda thing).. Haha.. She was like putting it on the palm of her hands and started clapping nonstop while getting her palmprints all over that shiny thing..

Went to eat lunch at tp with sijia, gerald, xiwei and jiacheng.. xw had to leave for training.. so the rest of us went to watch star wars 3!!! Yay!!! Damn nice!!! And found out sijia was a big big big rotiboy fan.. Heheh.. Urgh.. But then have to sit through it again on sunday.. Hate watching the same show twice.. It's not fun when I already know the story..

Argh... no time to practise chess!!! Still got a bit la.. But I'm feeling too lazy to! Oh no.. This is bad.. And of all days it had to be vesak day. Want to go kbox!!! Now have to wait till after gp exam. Bleah. And what if I get stuck in the bottom few last boards?? Then it's even more malu with all the ij people all at the top boards (you guys better get there k.. =P) What if I get 0?? Or I get 1 point because of a bye?! Freaking out!!! Why did I agree to go??? =S.. I'm damn scared of losing.

SPOILERS

It was so damn cool!!! My gosh!! Especially evil evil anakin! So wonderfully evil! Haha.. But just his evil expression only.. And the way he walked evilly with that evil glint with the whole evil army behind him!! The power and control he had. So cool. *winkz*

But what was nice is his character development. It's sometimes quite reflective of when you're being caught in between two groups of people. Sometimes, your loyalties lie on both sides but by being loyal to one side, you betray the other. It's hard because either way, no matter what you do, there will always be the guilty feeling. Of betrayal. It's just not nice to carry around. Sometimes it's just damn confusing. Choices are so tough when the stakes are so high, especially when it means ruining one friendship for the sake of another. Of course things don't turn out so drastic usually, but there is always that risk.

It just seemed like circumstances forced him to join the dark side. What yoda said about letting go what was close to him is just too much to ask. Life is all about forming attachments - commitments to your goals, dreams and passions as well as a sense of responsibility, no matter how big or small, to the people around you. Without forming attachments to things, places and people, life somehow loses its colour and zest.. Even monks, who are supposed to have no attachment to material goods and desires, still have spiritual attachments to those whom they worship as well as to their physical and mental training.. It's what keeps them going.
By doing so, yoda only made him even more determined not to let go because he was so dissatisfied with the answer. It made him desperately seek so hard for an answer, which eventually, he found laid in the dark side. But, all this is really ironic because the reason why he turned to the dark side was to ensure Padme could live through giving birth. However, that was the cause of why she died. It was because he couldn't tolerate the fact that Padme was against him going to the dark side so he killed her. Maybe, if he didn't believe in those dreams and joined forces with the sith lord, his dreams would not have come true.

Thinking about that also leads to something else. Can you imagine if we were allowed to see into the future.. And we see ourselves as a certain person with a certain personality, character and image.. Then the reason why we see ourselves like that is because we were given the chance to see our future.. And if we weren't given such an opportunity, things might have been different..?
For instance, lets say an aesthetically challenged person was given such a chance, and they see themselves as an older but still aesthetically challenged person.. Then the person may not be bothered to put in effort in improving their looks as he/she think it is hopeless.. Then in the end, he/she would be the very person they saw in the future.. This as opposed to if that person didn't see the future.. Then the person may feel like he/she should do something about their looks and exercises more, eats better dadada.. Then in the end, the person may ultimately look really good in the future.. So, the fact that they have looked into the future have caused really big changes.. Hmm...

Ya, so back to star wars.. Yoda is so funky!! So old and small-sized yet he can execute all those clean, deadly moves with such speed, strength and confidence. K, I am now a yoda supporter wahaha! Shall learn how he talks and must try to master drawing him.. But maybe after "A"s.. YODA RAWKS!! And of course EVIL ANAKIN RAWKS TOO!! Haha.. only the evil expression. Not the evil killing part.
