June Hols all over.

hihi!

It's been a while since I last blogged. In fact, it's only been a few days. But my overall blogging rate has dropped tremendously and so has the posts' quality and quantity. No choice. June holidays was a really busy one. Busy but fruitful. Never have I had such a wonderful June Holidays. Everyday, save 2 days, I had something to do, usually lasting all the way from sunrise to beyond sunset. It was at times tiring, it was at times boring, but in the end, I have to admit that I have done a lot this holiday. So much that till now, I still have some homework left undone. But no worries, I should be able to finish them. Let's see...

Homework left:
1. Physics mug waves, EM waves, sound waves, kinetics (all to be done today/tml)
2. ERP (to be done on next Thur/Fri)
3. Du zhe (read a bit here and there...)
4. English social advocacy presentation (next Thur/Fri/Sat/Sun)
5. Math assignment (today)
6. Read History notes (here and there...)

It seems like a long list, but it can be finished and it will be finished.

Well, as usual (actually Michael reminded me about this), I shall do a goals list for the coming semester. Hope I will able to achieve most of these...
1. Improve on my English Summary, Compre and Compo... (3.6)
2. Improve on my Chinese Summary and Compre (3.6)
3. Maintain 4.0 for all sciences
4. To get a 3.6 in Math, hopefully around 75
5. To get a 4.0 for history and SS (hard...)
6. Do well for RICO concert!

Hm. Seems to be all. The list seems rather academic and mark-based. But well, let's try to achieve this!

I did do an IBN reflection. But I shall go through a few times to see whether any violates IBN copyright issues before posting it... Hmm... ya i guess that's all. Looking forward to seeing 3B again!

Hope I can start my blog going again!

世界上最后一个温暖

六月假期来临了，男孩整天无所事事，呆在家里显得很闷，又没什么心情做功课，就打算参与一项筹款活动。一来可以看看世界，二来可以帮助那些体弱多病的人。星期天早晨，男孩带着兴奋不已的心情，来到了乌节路，开始了筹款活动。

起初，男孩非常热情。他不断地向路过的人们筹钱，如有人问他是为了什么而筹款，他都会耐心地向他们解释清楚。虽然没什么人捐钱，但男孩并没灰心。学校老师说过，“皇天不负有心人”。男孩坚持相信，只要努力，一定可以为慈善做出贡献的。只要奋斗，没有任何事是无法完成的。至少男孩是这么想的。

时间一分一秒地流失，男孩开始放弃了。原来，人类美他想象中的完美，人类并没有老师讲的那么温暖。三小时过去了，还是只有那几个人愿意捐钱，而且他们有的是因为不要男孩再来打扰他们才捐的，并不是真心要帮助那些病人。男孩摇动了一下罐子，只听到几枚硬币在罐子的底层滑来滑去，偶尔，硬币会碰到一起，发出一阵“砰”的声音。但除此以外，罐子是沉默的。男孩也一样沉默了。乌节路的热闹跟男孩与罐子的平静成了明显的对比。男孩垂头丧气。

突然，一群青少年走了过来，看到男孩，哈哈大笑起来。其中有一个男子甚至把罐子抢了过来，将它摇动几下。罐子发出那可怜的声响。男子笑得更大声了，“只有那几枚硬币？我抢来做什么？”。说毕，将罐子丢在地上，转头跟着其他的青少年走了。虽然他的那句话在五节路的吵杂声中不怎么突出，整个过程也不怎么久，但那句话对男孩来说是那么的震耳欲聋，一直在男孩的脑海中重复着。男孩的心像被一个石头击中了，流下来的血虽然是透明的，但它如同胶水，永远永远刻画在男孩的心中，无法清除。那句话跟男孩已经成为了同样的物体。

男孩叹气，身靠墙壁，蹲了下来。这是男孩的第一次。是他不幸，还是真是如此？他第一次接触世界，接触社会，就感觉到世界之冷漠，生活之残酷。

男孩记得老师曾说过，人类是一种需要陪伴，需要关照，需要爱情的动物。人类之所以有今天的成就，不只是因为人类会动脑，也因为他会跟别人相处，有难时跟别人求助，别人有难时就伸出援手。这样的互相帮助，使人类不断地发展。人类通过沟通，通过请教，不断不断地进步，不断不断地改善。随着科技的发展，世界已变小了。要到朋友家去，不再需要走漫长的路，只需要大量汽车，就可以快速抵达。要跟外地亲戚交往，只需打一通长头电话，就可以跟亲戚谈天说地。这也就是所谓的“全球化”。

但是，在“全球化”的这段期间，我们真的“全球化”了吗？还是“全球化”只是表面上的形象呢？男孩开始怀疑老师所说的话。男孩开始理解了现实，事实。世界并没有什么“互相帮助”的一回事。世界上并没有真正的朋友。要成功，要胜利，就只能靠自己。世界中，“温暖”这两个字眼是不存在的。至少现在的世界是如此。至少“全球化”的世界是如此。而过去的“温暖”早已被冷漠，孤单给代替了。这个事实永远永远不会改变。

男孩的眼泪不禁夺眶而出。他站了起来，走了。罐子依然在地上。但男孩已经不管了。因为世界的温暖无论怎么找都不会再有，永远永远都不会再有。

在路上

那是一个秋天的下午。天空中下着细雨，雨点一滴一滴落在男孩的肩上。男孩望着黑乎乎的天空，又一次独自一人从校门走了出来。当时，男孩唯一拥有的朋友就是孤单。跟孤单一起度过下午的那种感觉是多么的熟悉，男孩可说已经习惯了那种感觉。虽说路上有许多跟他一样走路回家的学生，但他们对男孩来说都比孤单还要陌生。学生们各走各路，除了穿上的校服是相似的，其余样样都不同。

走啊走啊，雨开始下得更大了。只见狂风与暴雨交叉在一起。男孩没带雨伞，孤单也没带雨伞，男孩无奈，只好加快脚步，希望能在日落前回家。但男孩毕竟还小，无论如何伸长腿，都无法像大人那样迈大步。因此，男孩被雨淋得湿透了。冰冷的感觉是那么的难受，那么的刻苦。但男孩也没办法。虽说路上有许多学生带着雨伞，但他们对男孩来说都比孤单还要陌生。因此，男孩并没有跟他们借用雨伞。当时的男孩是多么希望他唯一拥有的朋友，孤单，会抽出一把雨伞来，为他遮雨，只可惜那种美好的感觉只能在脑海里浮现。

又走了一会儿，男孩遇到一些比男孩年龄较大的年轻人。年轻人看到男孩吃力地走着，不禁哈哈大笑起来。男孩认识他们。他们就是邻校的那群流氓，整天逃学到这儿抽烟。男孩曾见过他们抢走老婆婆的钱包，但由于无力去抵抗，也害怕得罪他们，只好眼睁睁地看着老婆婆被欺负。这次，男孩又一次当作没听见，一直往前走。但年轻人并没有轻易放过男孩，跑了上来，将男孩推倒，同时还在男孩背后踩了几下。男孩“砰”的一声跌倒在地上，血一滴一滴地从额头上流下男孩的脸庞。当时路上有许多跟他一样的学生，但男孩对他们来说都比孤单还陌生。因此，他们并没有来帮男孩。

过了好一阵，男孩还是无力爬起来。那时候的痛苦是多么的难以描述。学生们都已经回到家里了，唯有男孩和孤单还未回家。男孩看太阳快要下山了，用尽力气爬了起来，又一次与孤单一起奋斗。男孩要回家。家是他唯一的目标，但那目标对男孩来说却是多么的遥远，多么的难以实现。虽说路上还有几个在回家途中的工作人士，但他们对男孩来说都比孤单还要陌生。因此，男孩并没有跟他们求助，他们也没有伸出援手。

时间一分一秒地流失，男孩还是挣扎着。天已经开始黑了。男孩开始慌了。如果不在日落前回家，那么男孩很可能就会迷失方向。男孩开始跑了起来。但是沉重的书包缕缕地将他绊倒。男孩咬紧牙关，继续奋斗着。当时路上有不少路灯照亮了男孩的去路，但它们对男孩来说都比孤单还要陌生。因此，男孩并没有跟它们求助。

最终，男孩终于实现目标了。他又一次回到家了。当时的男孩已筋疲力尽，一回到家就跌倒在地上，睡着了。男孩一睡睡到天亮。太阳又一次升起。男孩又一次起床。这次的目标是学校。这个目标跟昨晚的目标一样的遥远。但男孩已经习惯了。男孩已经习惯跟孤单在一起，男孩已经习惯生活在一个无人的世界，男孩已经习惯走无人的路。男孩知道路程是遥远的，而要走完这条路，靠的只有自己与孤单两人。

男孩又一次背起沉重的书包，准备与孤单一起走那遥远的路。

Zzz...

This is bad. Won only 4/7 games. ahh... First time in history I have not won 5 or more. at least in secondary school. The onli other time i won only 4 was when i was P3 and P5 i think. 2 times b4 this and repeated this year again. And what's more, out of the 4 games i won, onli 1 (against Ernest) was a big challenge or at least a close game, the other 3 I won were rather expected cuz my the opponent was much less strong. that technically makes it onli 1 win out of 4 instead of the normal 2 wins out of 4 or sometimes even 3. sigh.

And to add to that, 2 of them that I lost were rather close, especially the third game. and the last game, I was leading and I threw my lead away in a manner too easy for my opponent. haix. The last game should have been a comfortable victory. I thought I made a good start to the game. actly i did, but my mid game was crap so ya.

haix. nvm. luckily, we still managed to achieve an overall 2nd, winning Dunman narrowly. (RI 5,4,4 : Dunman 5,4,3) lol. and congrats to the junior section too. Yiheng and Alan won themselves a trophy and so did Hong Bo in the open cat. Junior cat also won 2nd place and there were not really many close competitors in that one so ya. it's the first time in the history of RIweiqi that we achieved 2 2nds in qiuping. When I was in sec 1, it was open 2nd, junior 3rd. In sec 2, it was open 3rd, junior 2nd. So that can be viewed as an improvement but that is definitely not enough. I have seen an improvement in myself. Last time, I wouldnt have stood a chance at all against a HCI guy but this time at least I was really close in 1, losing out onli because of tie1 mu4 and i can really say that my opening is really beginning to take shape as seen in the last game. The thing now is to improve on my midgame, determining how best to win without the most risks which I failed to do in my last game.

k. no use crying over spilt milk now. just need to start improving. hope that next competition will be better. =)
