Dr William Tan,the doctor and Olympic athlete who's paralysed waist-down due to Polio visited our school today.he first showed us a 3-minute video of his World Recored where he took part in 10 marathons in 7 continents in 70 days last year.and he told stories of the obstacles he went through and i really admire his determination and perseverance despite all the hurdles and hardships.i mean,here you have someone who can't walk,yet has made a world record taking part in 10 marathons across 7 continents in just 70 days.whereas i,who can walk and am perfectly normal,feel like giving up just because i fail a test or can't play the recorder right or something.i'm not sure if i have the determination or peserverance to continue with the marathon after many obstacles.people nowadays are really pampered and i feel guilty to be one of them.i seriously admire him.i'm really awed by Dr Tan's talk.it really is inspiring and moving.he's set up this Women's Cancer Fund and his aim is $50 000 but so far he's only got $1800.he's selling posters in my school and i want to buy.it's all for a good cause.such a small thing can mean happiness to someone else and i want to do just that.Arra scared me shite out of my wits just now.i was going for music class with Ain and i happened to pass her.she held out her fist in front of my face and opened it.and there was a fake cockroach and of course i thought it was real and so Ain and i screamed our heads off.and Arra laughed at us.i swear i could have killed her.she knew that i'm terrified of cockroaches.i'm going to get back at her.i dont know how yet but i will.and that's a promise.
during recess,Elenna and i went to the library.she used the computer and i sat with her since there were no other available working computers.and Pakcik Dollah was also in the room,cleaning up and all.and he started talking to Elenna,who for some reason,found everything he said funny.then he started talking to me too and i too found it funny for some reason and started laughing along.and we were like that for at least 10 minutes.Pakcik Dollah was fed up cause we laughed so much.haha.he's so cute!and Elenna is my sexah thang!love ya babe!
