Awesome
Today, I probably had the most awesome 2 hours spent in class.
The first half of the class had to perform story telling, with the latter class on the following week.
Seeing how much I enjoyed myself, you'll probably know that my turn comes next Thursday.
It was so dam cool.
I was so frigging nervous and scared too.
XD
Thanks to them though, I have a good mind of my story going...
Particularly to Wai wan for giving me the inspiration. lol.
Moreover, I have a pretty cool story telling teacher too.
The first teacher that doesn't really mind when I talk about Batman in class. Even when I said I was going to use it as exam material.
She simply said,"You and your Batman ah, Jia Hao."
Awesome.
So darn Awesome.
I'll enjoy next Thursday's class too.

Fight.
In order to appreciate the awesomeness of fighting, watch the follow videos. Best in order.
Tim Slyvia is a former Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) Champion in the heavy wight division, defending it 2 times. He has a record of 24 wins and 6 losses.
Fedor V.S. Tim Slyvia
Kevin Randleman is another former UFC heavy champion, and even won against "Cro cop" once.
Fedor V.S. Kevin Randleman
And this, is a compilation of how Awesome Fedor is.
Fedor Highlights
And the best part of the fights? They show good sportsmanship, and not throwing vulgarities after losing a fight. Not like WWE.
WWE's fake anyway.

Hatred
I didn't plan to blog.
I mean, I didn't plan to blog tonight. I forgot what I wanted to blog about initially.
Until I read this... post. About hating homo sapiens.
To quote Asakura Yoh, the main protaganist in Shaman King.
"You know, I don't like humans that much either.
Grandpa told me once... that Humans are like cancerous cells. Those cells satsify their appetite by eating other surrounding cells and they increase quickly. They keep eating healthy cells and increase more and more. So in the end, they ruin their environment and destroy themselves.
Nowadays, its too late to change this behaviour. But humans will ruin the planet unless someone fixes the situation.
And that someone, is the Shaman King."
At times, it is pointless to know people. Knowing people that will eventually hurt other people,cause them harm, and finally, one day, you will realise.
"Are they really worth helping?
If I help them... Will they hurt other people in the future?"
Going on, reading, looking from this point of view, would this mean that not improving the life of mankind is the best solution to the world's problem? Since helping people will only cause hurt to other people in the end.
After all,
"Murder is the way of nature, of all living things." - Terry Goodkind
We live to hurt other living things so that we can survive.
So, ultimately, what is the point of helping people in the first place?
Why should I help?
Because, in the end, it doesn't matter what other people do. So as long as I don't hurt other people, and help them instead, it doesn't matter
There is no way I can make a difference to all the starfish that rests on the sandy shores instead of the bottom of the sea if I help them. There is no way I can make a difference for all the humans that are hurting everyone if I try to help.
But I can make a difference for that one starfish by throwing it back into the sea where it can survive.
There's a reason why I avoid some people. There's a reason why I avoid letting my friends know some people.
There's a reason why I chose to teach children as well.
In the end, "Enemies are the price of honor." - Terry Goodkind

P.S. After finish one essay, I'd say I have enough practice and mood to write the one I'm supposed to.

Flame
Today, I went to the child care centre as part of my module requirements.
I was at the 4 year old classroom, hanging out with the kids until they were starting with their meal time.
I was tasked to record down the way they eat for... future purposes and personal knowledge.
Just as they grabbed the first piece of honeydew, and the tip of my pen touching the foolscap paper, an alarm rang.
Not the sharp, high pitch, or the soft melodious tune from your phone that wakes you up.
It is the loud, angry and bloody irritating alarm that tells you it is a fire drill.
Yes. The same alarm that stopped us from having our meal in recess one year ago.
After the teacher announced there was a fire, the kids stood up from their chairs, shouted, "FIRE!" and ran orderly out of the classroom, grinning happily.
The teacher looked at me and was like, "They are so happy that there's a fire drill compared to having a class!"
What can I say?
They move faster than Marists. I can tell you that.

Teacher
To quote Haim Ginott,
"I have come to a frightening conclusion. I am the decisive element in my classroom. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or de-humanized."
This literally translates to the fact that to a child, a teacher is their god.
My goal is to be the Boss of their god.
You can call me Zeus, or Ra, or both from now on.

Passion.
One of the people I respect in this world are people who have ideals.
People who have a certain interest, a certain passion and is willing to go for it no matter what.
I respect people who are able to focus everything on to that single ideal, and pursue it to be the best they can.
I respect people who have passion.
My brother in law has a passion to teach.
My senior has a passion in Muay Thai.
My friends has a passion into taking care of children.
My juniors has the unbelievable passion in archery.
I have a passion to fight.
Do you?

Repeat.
This song is played on loop in my head.
Damn you, Guitar Hero.
Misery Business - Paramore
I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top
She's got a body like an hourglass that's tickin like a clock
It's a matter of time before we all run out...
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months
She finally set him free
I told him I can't lie he was the only one for me
Two weeks and we had caught on fire
She's got it out for me
But I wear the biggest smile
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him right now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving...
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now
But God does it feel so good
Cause I got him where I want him now
And if you could then you know you would
Cause God it just feels so...
It just feels so good
