It may not be easy

It was really terrible at school today...

After Combined Humans period, I wanted to get a few minutes of sleep by resting my head on the table before Mother Tounge class started. I was suddenly awoken by a commotion, and I stood up and saw Viknesh lying on the ground in agony, and then I tried to help him up. I thought that he had a very serious fall

****** said he would bring him to the sick bay. Kashfun and I immediately went out of the class and we saw Mr Lak, our principal. We reported the incident to him.

Then we were sort of stared pretty maliciously by some people. It was only until when Brendan told me that Viknesh did not fall, but got beaten up, and as a result I indirectly sabotaged the 3 other classmates.

Apparently Viknesh was trying to tell ****** mother's name to the whole class... ****** then started to beat him up followed by ****** and ******* who joined him and started beating him together...

I knew nothing of these when i reported this to Mr Lak...and very badly, I regret that decision as I would have prefered to have known the truth before reporting it...

I am not sure if I did the right thing by reporting it. Was I seriously overreacting? Should I have left the issue for themselves to settle it? I kept pondering over it during chinese class. When school got dismissed I kinda saw ******* with a yellow form, which made me think all the more that not reporting it was a better option.

But today when i flipped through my social studies text book before the incident, I caught the words on the page where "what a good leader should be", I saw the words:"Doing what is right instead of what is popular and pleasing to the crowd"

Moral Courage, it is not easy to display a sense of it. Going against the crowd will only lend you in deep shame.

What is courage?? Being brave? Not scared of doing a particular feat like bungee jumping?

i don't think so...................................

Courage is that you are scared of doing something, but you still do it anyway, conquering your own fear of the consequences.

I was feeling pretty down throughout the school time.......thinking of how i may be rejected in class.

But I put all that away, consoling myself that this is my line of duty, and I am expected to deal with this kind of shit.

Anyways, went to the airport to see my friends again. When I arrived at Burger King i realized that there was no one there at all. I used the payphone to phone up Roderick, and he, Terence zhaoed school (=.=) to go out with Olivia and Sharon to Parkway Parade and have fun. They joined me about half and hour later..

Played cards as usual while poor Oli had to work her shift...talked a lot of bullshit while Roderick was showing alot of PDA, which kind of made me and Terence feel weird...We did not stay long as Roderick had to go for his Japanese Language class and i had to go home too.


I slept pretty early...like at about 8 pm...grateful to God that no matter how much my class may hate or reject me, I still have this group of my friends to be with, and that is all that matters to me, :D
