1E2 Book of Legends
The Legend of the Last 15 Minutes
Introduction
Have you ever thought of what you could ever do and fulfill the best in someone’s life in 15 minutes? Or how bad you can hurt someone’s feelings in 15 minutes? Now, take a moment to reflect…
Thirty years ago, in a small village in China, lived a girl called Ah Zai. She was very friendly and hardworking. As her family was very poor, she had to help her mother who was very weak and frail, at her noodle stall early in the morning. She had a brother named En Sheng, who was a gambling addict. He was a totally different character from the sister as he always asked his mother for money instead of helping to earn them.
Body + Climax
One day, while Ah Zai was at work, En Sheng came back home from the gambling den. He was in a bad mood as he had lost all his money while gambling. As he was searching the drawers for money, he saw his mother taking out some money from a biscuit tin. “Give me the money, you old woman! “ He shouted angrily. ”No! You’ve taken almost all my money away! I won’t give it to you!” The mother shouted as she broke into tears. As soon as she finished saying her sentence, En Sheng started to grab the tin that was held tightly in his mother’s arms.
He was so desperate, that he knocked his mother against the edge of the table so badly that blood was gushing out of her head. She was lying with pain on the floor. En Sheng took no pity of her, and left with the tin of money. Ah Zai was on her way back from work, and she saw En Sheng walking out angrily. She suspected that something was amiss, and immediately ran into the house, and she broke down into tears when she saw her mother lying on the floor. She ran towards her, and knelt before her, carried her and brought her straight to the clinic.
As her mother was gasping for her last breath to stay alive, she had a sudden flashback of what En Sheng did to her with the last 15 minutes she had with him; En Sheng hurt her feelings by scolding her and calling her a bad mum, beat her up for the sake of money, and ignored her pleading to save her life, and left her fighting with her life.
Ending
The sudden thought of the last 15 minutes with Ah Zai; she hugged her mother and cried hysterically, lifted her mother up and rushed her to the clinic. Along the way, she fell down on stones and even injured herself just to try to save her.
After thinking of what En Sheng and Ah Zai had done to her, she put on a smile and left the world. She closed her eyes and tears were rolling down her face. But at the end of the day, she left the world happily because she managed to spend her last moments with Ah Zai in her arms. Her peaceful departure from the world was a sign of forgiveness for her son, En Sheng.
From this story, we can learn that money doesn’t outweigh kinship, and we should always learn to forgive and forget.

Helloooo~Long time no post.[: So now posting,in the com lab.:DD
MY HOLIDAY...
From 8th June to 15th June,My family and I went to Taiwan~It's really nice there.I was really excited,because thye last time i actually sat on an airplane was the time i went to Hong Kong in 2002 or 2003.Overall,i enjoyed being in Taiwan.One of the reason is mainly because the bubble tea is so much nicer then the ones in Singapore.:P
Besides this trip,I spent most of my time rotting at home.Hahas.Some days,I met up with ChuaXinRui to do our Maths project.Sometimes,I meet up with my friends like YingXuan,Alicia and YiXuan.
One of the days,I decided to cut my fringe,just to welcome school reopening.[: It's weird at first,but i got used to it.:D
H1N1,
It's so scary,when 800 over people in Singapore are affected.If you are affected or had came in contact with people who have H1N1,you'll have to be self-quarantine.You can't get out of the house.I can imagine that it'll be real boring.Now,everyone just have to practise good personal hygiene,so that we will not contract H1N1.

Hellos!!I will be posting my 4 days 3 night camp at Changi today.Pardon me if i had left out any of the events.I couldn't really remember much so i'll just write what i can remember.:)
1st day-
Su Yee and me reached school at about 11.20am.I thought we were late as many people were there already.As i sat down,one of the facilitators started talking to us,also briefing about camp.When the bus arrived,we then set off to our destination.When we reached there,we placed our bags in our bunk and then went to our meeting place to play some ice-breaker games.The facilators who were in charge of 1E2 took the chance to introduce themselves.One of the games was called 'Electric Current',where u have to hold the person's hand sitting beside you.Unfortunately,sitting on my right hand side was a boy.I didn't wanted to hold his hand so one of the facilitators came over to us and then pull our hands together.Luckily,the game didn't last long.Dinner was outdoor cooking.We cooked maggie.It was fun!!:) Su Yee and i ate the maggie and said it was nice.After that,we had to wait for a while for the other class's girls to bathe finish before we bathe.We are also told taht there was supper.As i was tired,i missed supper and went back to the bunk with some girls.Surprisingly,i couldn't sleep.So my friends and i stayed up till 3am plus,chattering.
2nd day-
I didn't know why,but i was super hyper,even though i did not sleep early last night.We went for the NE hike.It was tiring,i can tell you.I was moaning all the way.Hahas.The first destination was the Changi Chapel and Museum.As i stepped into the place,it was very quiet.I look through all the displays and find that it as quite interesting."Maybe History isn't so bad after all."I thought as i browsed through another display.Having looking through all the displays,we gathered outside for break.After that,we continued our journey.Our next stop was Johor Battery.[Sorry if i spelled it wrongly.]We ate out lunch there.We then walked to our third destination-Changi Beach.It was a nice view of the sea.:) The wind was strong.The facs then asked us to write our reflections in the booklet.Hiking back to our camp site was tiring.I got sunburnt.When i got back to our bunk,i then realised that my soap and spoon were lost.I searched for it but to no avail.When it was the time to bathe,i had to use Su Yee's soap.And dinner,i had no chioce but to use the fork to eat.It was hard for me as we were eating rice.Back to the bunk,i just lied down and within minutes,i slept like a pig.[But i didn't snore.]Hahas.:DD
3rd day-
I woke up at around 5++ as Pricillia's alarm clock woke me up.-.- I couldn't go back to sleep so i talked with my friends.Breakfast was okay.After that,the activity was High Elements and Low Elements.I didn't do the High Elements as there was no time.I heaved a sigh of relief.The Low Elements were also quite fun.:) Lunch soon came and passed.It was time for rafting.The instructor taught us how to tie knots,because we would have to tie our own raft later.After teaching us all the knots we should know,my class was being seperated into 2 groups.Few minutes later,you could see us busy tying the knots.A lot of people forgot the steps and they just have to call Daryl.Hahas.He could actually remember all the steps for the knots.After much of our hard work,we finally finished our raft.But before we actually sit on the raft and float away from shore,we will have to test if our life jacket is okay.The instructor told us to hold each and other's hand to make a circle.We then floated on the water.It was fun.After everyone got onto the shore safely,the first batch of people got onto the raft and then use the oak to row the raft.At that time,i realised that one of the strings were loose.I wanted to tell the instructor but they had already went into the sea.When it was the time for the second batch of people to get onto the raft,one of the teachers told us that we had to go back.I was dissapointed as i did not have a chance to sit on the raft.As usual,we had to rush to the bunk to get out bathing stuff as we only have 1 hour to bathe and there are so many people.Dinner was nice.:) The teacher who called us to go back during our rafting session asked us to stay back.She explained that the reason we could not go rafting was because of the bad weather.Went back to the bunk.I could actually fall asleep within seconds.:)
4th day-
As we woke up,we ate our breakfast and took our bags to assemble in front of the canteen.We had to clean up the area.1E2 got the toilets.We cleaned the toilet as fast as possible.After finishing the toilet,we again assembled in front of the canteen to wait for our turn for photo-taking.After another briefing,we went up the bus and went back to Zhenghua.It was a memorable camp.:)
