I have not blogged for a long long time, partially because I'm lazy to, partially because I have many projects/games to attend to, and partially because everyone else did not blog as well.
Then when I saw everyone's blogs suddenly updated one day, I went all "OMG PEER PRESSURE" and here I am now blogging once again :/
I went to gym today, and chose not to go watch Harry Potter because I did not watch the movies before it, and did not read all the books. Therefore, I was afraid of becoming lost in the myriad of mystical and enchanting elements within the storyline, which simply put, means wasting $8.
So at the gym, leech, Zhihe, Jon Gan and I went to work out and try out all the different equipment, and it was really quite a fun experience.
Training our wrists with 2.5 kg dumbbells, doing assisted chinups when I can do the real thing were all quite funny. leech was playing around with the weights and doing bicep curls with 2.5 kg dumbbells, while the rest of us were doing 5 kg and nearly died doing so. Then the other day we saw Romy (don't know how to spell) doing like one of the heaviest weights (17.5 kg or so) like as if it was a piece of paper he was lifting.
Then our relief teacher was also running on the treadmill and doing weights like they were nothing. Seriously the PE teachers are mad.
And the benefits they get are good too. Let's examine why:
1) They work for as good as half a day
2) They get the same pay as normal subject teachers
3) They get free use of equipment
4) The only teachers who can afford not to care about their students' grades
5) The gym is right next to their office, so they can work out and then go do their work (or lack of it) very conveniently
When I grow up, I'm becoming a PE teacher in RI. It's too good to be true.
And so over the past few days we had some random lessons in which we decided to show off some of our artistic talents: Biology and Social Studies.
During a Biology lab session:

What can I say? Creativity FTW.
I think I'm hitting a dry spot and getting writer's block. Don't really know what to write now. Sad.
P.S. leech is a gay fag.
