Today is Saturday and we had school. Yup…sad right? We had assembly also. Boring right? Yup. In old fashion STK tradition, we were scolded early in the morning. Depressing right? Yup. My class was put in charge of cleaning the toilet. Grievous right? Yup. Only ten guys including me were present in school so now girls to clean the girls toilet. Guess who had to do it? Yup. Actually, no… because I was decorating my class so I didn’t help with the toilet.

After we finished our work we were bored, tired and rowdy. Some of us decided to play paper football. Some went to chat with others. Me? I used the left over polystyrene board to make a poodle… I lied, I made an airplane. You know, those cheap one dollar glider planes you used to buy when you were a kid? I made one. Weigh the tip of the nose with staples, and adjusted the flaps on the wings and …TA DA!!! Instant fun!!

IT WAS SUCH GREAT FUN!!! AHHHHHH!!! HAHA…WE LAUNCHED THE FIRST PROTOTYPE FROM THE 2ND FLOOR OF THE PRE-U BLOCK AND IT WAS FANTASTIC FUN!! THE FIRST TIME IT NOSE-DIVED. WITH AN ADDITION OF A SMALLER WING AT THE TAIL, IT FLEW SO WELL!! THE PLANE WASN’T WELL BUILT BUT IT WAS THE WIND THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!! THANK GOD FOR THE WIND!! THE SECOND FLIGHT WAS AMAZING, THE WIND KEPT IT UP FOR A WHILE AND WE WERE JUST SO ENTERTAINED BY THAT PIECE OF POLYSTYRENE FLOATING IN FRONT OF US!!! IT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAKE US ALL EXCITED BUT TOO FAR FROM OUR REACH!!

Then the inevitable happened. I learned in physics that for a projectile to have a maximum horizontal range, it must be launch 45 degrees from the horizontal. So I did that. And guess what? The plan did a back flip up and onto the? Roof. Sad. haih. Now what? it was so excruciatingly boring.

SO WE MADE ANOTHER ONE!!

THIS TIME IT WAS LIGHTER!!! I was a bit worried that it was too light and it would be blown away like a plastic bag without direction. But guess what? It out did it’s predecessor by being both aero-dynamic and light-weight!! FOR IT’S FIRST FLIGHT, IT WENT DOWN A BIT, IT CAUGHT THE WIND AND FLEW HIGHER AND HIGHER AND HIGHER AND…. onto the roof. Sad… We were so sad. Then Kim Wei told us that he saw our plane in the drain…

THE FIRST PLANE HAD BEEN BLOWN DOWN FROM THE ROOF!! WOOHOO!!

WE RUSHED DOWN AND LAUNCHED IT FOR THE LAST TIME!! IT CAUGHT THE WIND AND YEE-HAA!!! IT WAS AIRBORNE!! and then it landed on the 2nd floor. Then we all went home.

It was a great experience. When is it when a group of guys get all excited over something as a plane that can fly? Only when they’re a bunch of kindergarten kids. We were a bunch of 19 and 20 year olds. It was childhood re-lived.

Childhood, when attitudes, personality, race, age and religion didn’t matter. All that mattered was that a polystyrene plane caught the wind and flew.

Ever tried going east so much that you end up on the west side? Well, that adequately describes my life now. Actually, it doesn’t. It just describes my attitude towards blogging. So many things have happen. I’m aiming for a 90 movie when I die. Not multi-season serial drama show that comes in a set of 16 DVDs and another 32 “the making of” DVDs. If you get what I mean. Simply put, when I die and my life flashes before me, let’s keep the playback short and sweet. Drama-mamas you’re fired.

Henceforth, for the coming blog entries I will be reminiscing the past by parsing information from ancient blog entries. I will highlight the good, the bad and the lame. For everything in between, hastalavista baby, eat-pasta-in-a-big-car baby, I’ve-got-no-student-visa baby. Let me thesaurusly explain, expound, make known in-depthly.

I/Cheng Yee/2nd son of my father, will take old/ancient/advance-in-age blog posts and filter them. Removing/deleting/subtracting all unnecessary information/knowledge/facts.

The month of May has brought many surprises. Mostly unpleasant and rude ones. What I’m referring to is Lower Six Orientation, Registration and Teacher’s Day. I know that the dust has for the most part settled down and it’s rather not nice of me to bring it up. But, it is only now that I am confident enough that my response would not be biased nor rash.

Here’s my what I’ve to say:

I am just as guilty if not more. I was angry at the terrible attitudes of certain individuals. That was right. Because No one should ever close an eye. But as the anger raged on, I didn’t deal with it. What followed later was bitterness, more anger and unforgiveness. Yucky stuff. Worst still I said something to the effect of cursing the counseling unit with earlier death. I gave up so much of myself to the extent of speaking death.

So in short, the ugliness of others have revealed my true heart which was much more wicked. Because those that do not know light cannot be blame for being in the dark. But those who know light, yet choose to be in the dark are guilty. And I for one, have chosen the wrong path. I am regretful and now seek the path of light.

I thank God for everything. Because it wasn’t the ugliness of others that made me unhappy. It was the wickedness that I held onto that made me unhappy. To have realised this by God’s grace is by far a greater treasure.

p.s. the story of Daniel in the Bible was a great inspiration. Even though we was taken as prisoner of war, he served his king faithfully while not compromising with God. His ability to forgive and love is amazing.
