Change Your Thinking

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking..


Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.




One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.


His bed was next to the room's only window.





The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.





The men talked for hours on end...


They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..





Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.




The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and colour of the world outside.






The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.


Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colour and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.






As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene..


One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.





Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.





Days, weeks and months passed.





One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.


She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.





As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.






Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside..
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.





It faced a blank wall.





The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.






The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.




She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.




Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.





If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.





'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present .'

Extracted from Kartini's blog... Kartini's reflection ...

On the 9,10,11th of December, that's when we had our Table-Tennis camp in school. There are 10 committees and total of 36 members that turned up for the camp. I can say this camp actually trying to tell us that we got to be discipline at all times as i think Table-Tennis team are lack in and of course more things that we could learn from one another and at the same time enjoy ourselves.

Day one, the committees have to be serious with all of them for the start and of course there were pupils late for the camp and punishments given. Basically, both captains Jasmine and Desmond got to tell them what are the expectations of them in the camp for three days two nights and then we had our ice-breakers like getting to know one another better and we also had our 200 seconds challenge by the teachers. Actually for day one nothing much happening, in the afternoon we start our training at about 3pm to 6pm then bathe, had our dinner and lastly Movie chose by the teachers. A great movie that is strongly recommended to all.

Day two, everyone are suppose to gather at the foyer by 7:30am sharp but however some pupils are late including the committees and so we got to do our punishment together because as mention in day one “One for All, All for One”. So we got to do half squat, push up and sit up over and over as when Jasmine ask them questions they seems like not answering. Afterwards, we move on with our morning PT by running around the school four times and some walk by themselves due to their own reasons. Honestly, during the jog i feel like wanna vomit but i control myself, it really shows me how i really slack a lot as I've not been training all this while. So after jogging we go for our breakfast and i don't wish to eat has i never eat after my jog or any other sports activities but been force to eat a bread.

After breakfast we move on with our wet activity, all committees are suppose to set up all the stations while the rest of them get their dry clothes and get back to the canteen. There's lots of delay in between as we're thinking about their safety during the activities but after all everyone had fun playing with the water that been tie up with the plastic. Most of them keep taking and throw it to everyone around and that including our teacher Ms. Chew that join us in the activities as well and then everyone go wash up get ready for lunch and training at 2pm to 6pm. After training we had our dinner and get ready for our Appreciation Night to our teachers and seniors that turn up. All of us had fun during the night and being very hyper that they dance around in the I&E studio. Then we had our night walk at about 1am to 3am then everyone goes back to sleep.

Day three woke up at 7:30am, we had our PT again and fortunately no one late and we continue with our stretching and jog around school for one round. No one was supposed to walk but Jasmine was mad as there were pupils who walked and while i turned to jog back to get two girls that were left behind as they were walking again because of their own reasons. Then it was my favorite session. It was the Tchoukball activity which we played till 12:30pm. After that, got ready for our training and our friendly match with Bukit View & AMK pri. I played match once and won but think my opponent was such a joker that he didn't play properly as he kept making mistakes. Everything ended at about 5plus. So that was all about the Camp and good job to Jasmine and the rest of the committee members. =)

Jasmine's Reflection...

Okay Okay, what I felt about this camp.. Hmms.. Actually, I didnt put too much hope in this CCA camp because it was my first time organising with some committees a 3D2N Camp which can boost everyone's bonding and everyone's discipling. I was inexperience, you know. I was afraid few people couldnt co-operate and this whole camp will fail . I couldnt care less after I was put in charge cause I knew this is my responsibility, it's my game. I think the more I expect, the more I will be disappointed. I should think this way,"The more I fail, the more experience I'll get." Everyone listened, but even though I couldnt get response many times, I still feel that you all.. get what I was trying to say. To be honest, I was very pissed off every few hours I have to give a lecture, asking questions for at least 4times and not getting a reply after even having a dry throat. I mean its not easy for me but I think it will be even more difficult for you guys if you all disobey me. I wasnt there to punish you all and make you all cry, neither was I there to make you all love me. I was there to bond you all, or rather bond WITH you all. If I had ever disappoint anyone of you, be it this camp or any other things, come up to me and talk nicely with me about it. Believe me, I'll improve myself.

Teachers, I hope I didnt disappoint you all and if I did, come to me and point my mistakes out. I will admit and change and improve and not let my mistakes continue to increase and of course, to learn new things and gain experience.

Everyone in the team has their own strenghths and weaknesses. Those cheerings, those hurrays, those screams, those fun filled times were so loud. Will it continue? Did everyone enjoys? Didnt manage to get everyone stays on the last day due to teacher feeling unwell and matches ending late... I swear I will get everyone to wrap up when sch reopens after our training. No improvements if there are no suggestions. I love this table tennis team, i love my juniors, i love my seniors and the best thing is, I love my teachers-in-charge. (:

I was craving for respect.

I was craving for everything to end when nobody responded.

I was craving for people to help me get you all to respond.

I was craving for your excitement and your enthusiasm and your 100% participation.

I was craving to give up during the camp but nobody knows.

All my cravings... do you all understand? But I survived, we survived. You all were the ones that slowly erased my cravings, helped me to get through. Please get this into your head,"Captains are not your parents/guardians, they don't feed you w whatever you all need/want. They are there only as your friend and hopefully, good role models. We make mistakes too, but we will never know unless you point it out to us."

This camp wasnt tough but it was enjoyable. I failed to make this camp a disciplined one but I hope the next cca camp organised by next cca captains will be able to achieve what I had once failed.

I learnt sth. "I will never fail what I shouldnt have failed"

-I dont wish to say,"I will TRY not to fail....." because I know TRYing never help.

So sec 1s/2s had laser combat tdy and sec3s and some sec2s had paintball tdy . :D Oh well, i shall only update about paintball . (: Paintball is like a counterstrike game whereby you have to hide yourself and your objective is not kill pple, is to hit down the cones set up. (: Opponents will try to hit you and hit the cone so everyone has to be alert in the game and give their 100% participation. Also, you have to find sth to hide , so that you wont get hit. When the impact of the paintball hit you, it really really hurts ok. But lucky you got a thick protective vest on and a protective face mask. Its really useful. If you got hit on your neck or knuckles or scalp or the uncovered areas, omy, it do hurt. Haha. Dont worry, it wont kill. We were divided into 3 grps of 5. A, B and C . Team C won, rawks manzx ! Haha :D So yeahs, after hitting the cones down, you will have to run for the flag and run back to your starting pt tgt w the whole grp to consider winning. The otehr grp would have to carry a fake "bomb" and so call plant it below a built "helicopter". So yeahs, diff grp diff target. But objectives are actually same same la. By the way, if you are hit and there is a splat of paint on any part of your body, you are considered out of the game. To get back in, you just have to run back to your starting pt, give the wooden planks a slight tap and then you are back in agn. (: Easy right? Haha. So, each round we were given 80 bullets to shoot. We always managed to complete w/o having to finish our bullets. So, its quite fun actually. The whole thing lasted for maybe 2hrs at most. Quite short. Thats all for Paintball .
Anyway, lets wish Kenneth a speedy recovering of his knee. He will miss out trainings but its okay, as long as he is gna join us again. He is so brave, lets cheer for him. WOOHOOS ! :D haha. So yeahs, practically thats all for tdy paintball. Laser combat idk but from what i have heard, its quite fun yeahs? (:

Pool outing details:
Either on late Nov or on the 3rd week of Dec (after the week of our CCA camp 9,10,11 Dec). 8 tables will be reserved for that day from morning 11am to 2pm. Total bill will be $64, so we would have to divide it among ourselves. I have got 22 pple who are interested in this outing, so yeahs, actually each person dont have to pay more than $5, its a good deal, so grab this opportunity to learn new things ! :D Dont zibi at homeee ~ And if you want more after playing for 2 hrs, you can continue but you would have to pay for $4 per hour until 5pm latest. The place is located along townshend road, jalan berseh, #02-02 New world centre, opposite an old market. Downstair will be a Macdonald. Pple can have their lunch there or go market. Transportation might not be provided, so we would have to meet at AMK hub and take a direct bus there. (: You are not gna wear your sch uni or pe attire because for the first time in life, you are not allowed to do so. You must be in your home clothes and preferrably not so revealing for it is air-conditioned. Nearest MRT station will be Farrer Park. Its near Mustafa also . (: Thats all for the Pool Outing briefing . Those that have not confirmed with tehir parents, please confirm it before Sept holidays or the next training session which will be in term 4 most likely. So yeahs, it would be good for you all to come to try out new stuffs and a great learning experience. (: oh yeahs, those gng thr, please put on your best behaviour and act like secondary students.

Nth much alr, Happy 44th Birthday , SINGAPORE ! :D (9 Aug 09)

No accidents happened today . But 5 balls dented today, 1 ball flew up . Same old complaints from coach again. Leaving w/o permission, not serious and stuffs like that. Irritating some times but we all should understand. Today was.... slightly lousier than previous training in terms of attitude and skills I suppose? Everyone seems to forget what to do uhs? I noticed that we have been skipping our regular warm-ups and PTs. Haha. Enjoy life uhs? Maybe Thurs do PT yeahs, and warm up start. Or maybe no warm ups because half the hall was taken up by Badminton players. Anw, the PT I/Cs are always late or absent. Then the equipment I/C didnt seem to be doing their job. Maybe Yun Jie did. But what the ... is teck kai doing uhs. Always late one, people set up finish alr ehs. Aiyoyo. Nvmds, can improve one . (:
Coach had said tdy that Kenneth, Teck Kai next training onwards late(Meaning reached later than coach) by 1 min, have to run a round in hall. 1 min=1 round uhs. No bargaining. Haha. Everyone be witness . That was all for today training . And, next time can donn't step on balls again ?? Hais .

SEP will be PaintBall, 1 session. Held in September perhaps. Must really enjoy, don't waste money. And, should be quite fun . It will be MIX team k . Thats all. Adios ! (:
