Frantic Weather

What's wrong with the weather these few days? It is crazily humid and hot. The most interesting thing is at night and morning, it is extremely hot but in the afternoon, it is very breezy. It is quite the opposite compared to the normal days. Usually it is cooling at night and in the morning while it is sunny and hot in the afternoon. However, this doesn't come often. I think it happens countries, this weather is nothing. In temperate countries, temperature can go as high as 40 degrees celsius or higher and it can also go as low as below 0 degree celsius. The temperature range is so huge! But most probably, people living in temperate countries are used to this kind of like once a year. But it came a little late this year. Usually, it comes around the late april but this time, it is near mid-may. Though it is really hot nowadays, compare it to those in the temperate countries, this weather is nothing as it happens all year long. But in singapore, this hot weather seem to happen only once a year. It is so hot that yesterday night, the air-conditioning in my house is insufficient to keep us comfortable and cool. We had to get another 2 more fans so that the temperature is lowered and we can feel more comfortable. Today morning, when i stepped out of the room, i thought i had just walked into an oven. It was freaking warm! Usually, in the morning, i will switch on the heater before i bath but today, i don't have to. Without switching on the heater, the water is already warm enough. When i was bathing, i turn the tap to the extreme end where cold water will flow out. This shows the heat craze then. When i open my wardrobe, take out my shirt, it felt like i just took it out from the oven. The whole flat was entirely heated up! For the whole morning, i was crazy for air-conditioning. Thankfully, it started to rain around 8am. The temperature was lowered and it was much more comfortable. The weather was so hot that within a few hours, puddles of water on the ground were dried up. Well, this weather is somehow unbearable to me. I feel so sticky and hot and i am sweating like a flowing tap. It is totally insane!

为什么好人没好报？

Why doesn't kind souls in the world receive remuneration? It is very saddening... No matter whether it is in reality or in television shows, kind souls always tend to suffer and do not receive remuneration. Of course, it does not apply to all kind souls. But to what i see the most, it is so. Isn't this disappointing? Today when i was buying drink at the stall at the CC, i heard this auntie talking to another auntie. "好人终是没好报" During then, i realise how true is this statement. It just seems so unfair. Well, i am not discouraging people to kind-hearted but i am just trying to express this unfairness which cannot be change. Well, it is not a bad thing to be kind-hearted but do they deserve such unfair treatment? Most probably, for their whole life, they care for others, put others in front of themselves but yet, all they receive are sufferings. Shouldn't they deserve some remunerations? Maybe like what some others said. "好人是来还上世人欠下的债" But is that really so? Definitely, we don't know. But if it is really so, that is their previous life, it should be related to this life. It is just like the parents paying the child's debts. Parents are innocent and they don't have to pay for their child's mistake. Similarly, this life innocent and it should not be paying back the mistakes that are done in the previous life. Then, why is it so unfair to the kind souls? I can't explain, neither can i understand. Maybe no one can explain it too. But i really wish to know. To me, it is always so heartbreaking to hear that kind souls are suffering but there is no way i could lend a helping hand or nothing i could do. And all i can do most of the times is to stand there praying hard in my heart that the kind soul could feel better. However, it does not provide much help. Most probably it acts as an psychological support or encouragement but it does not help to improve the situation after all. To me, kind souls do deserve appropriate remuneration as their kind-heartiness is not something everyone has and is something that we should respect.








总而言之，叔叔，您是好人啊。。。

Back from Motivational Camp

Yesterday, i came back from the motivational camp. In conclusion, i was hardly motivated. This camp is more of a leadership camp than a motivational camp. Personally, the games they organised aren't that bad but it does not fit the motive of being a motivational camp. The workshop is the only thing that i feel it motivating me. And i do learn something from the workshop and i felt enlighten by what the speaker had said. Most probably, motivational camp has to come from workshops but in this camp, there is only one workshop which most probably make it insufficient for such camp. If someone ask me whether i enjoyed myself, i might most probably say maybe. Firstly, i was bitten my mosquitoes all over which is something i expected but i didn't know it will be this bad. Secondly, in the morning of the second day, i was desperately hoping to go home which shows how much i want to leave the place. Thirdly, once i came back to Singapore, even when the wind blew across, i thought it was a mosquito and started to scratch here and there. Really terrible. Well, maybe because i am badly spoilt by the great environment in singapore without mosquitoes and when i get to malaysia which has a lot of mosquitoes, i just start to grumble. However, comparing this campsite to the rest of the campsite i ever went to, this is considered one of the best (other than the mosquitoes). It has beds which are quite comfortable and the food is fine. Also, among the 3 activities, casualty challenge and the kite making were the best. Casualty challenge requires teamwork among members and the activities are quite similar to the ones we had during the secondary 3 camp so maybe that's why we managed to get on quite fast. Kite flying was a pair work by me and jolyn. We had to make a kite and it was quite a failure. After making the kite, we had to fly it. I released it and jolyn ran with it hopefully it will fly. But it failed. We tried a lot of times, and failed as many times but we kept of laughing and laughing at our failures. We tried to modify it until it will succeed but not a single try succeed and sadly, we don't have that many tries, therefore we just have to give up since the activity has ended. Well, the camp fire was not that high compared to the secondary 3 one. Maybe due to time constraint. If there was more time, the camp fire might have been better. This camp isn't a total failure but i feel that it does not meet the purpose of being a motivational camp. Maybe there should be more workshops so that the camp will be more motivating to the secondary 4 and 5 students who are facing their o levels.
