Hi.

Training today. Quite slack... at least it was for drills and campcraft. Maybe its because of bad weather. But the PT today was kinda 'hiong', the back sprain has not fully recover yet anyway. Then the NDP rehearsal was basically marching around the field, and in the end everyone got their boots dirty. But i found the practice useful.

After training went to canteen to have lunch, then went to basketball court to play basketball with yize, yw, zy, wl, my and ym. I was damn lousy at it, in fact the lousiest player there... Too bad ws, yh and hh did not come. Played for about 1 and a half hours before taking 171 home with yw, zy and danny.

Reached home, slacked, sleeped, bathed... Then went out with mother to BPP(again!) But finally something interesting happened today. After buying all the stuff we needed, we went to Guardian to find my brother. Then i saw a fight(or rather a squabble). 3 days ago was racial harmony day, and today i saw this exchange of curses between a family of malay and a chinese woman in her mid-30s. Not sure how it started, but when i notice the squabble the woman was screaming at a malay man. Then the man walked away and a malay woman came. She then went away too and a younger malay teenager came forward. The woman continued to hurl curses, the teenager was somehow very 'pai seh' and he pointed to the group of people standing outside guardian and watching them. Sure enough, there was about 10+ people who stopped and watched. But the woman did not care, she kept on scolding. The teenager gave up and the malay family left the pharmacy. The crowd soon dispersed.

I'm not sure how it started, but from their arguments i think this was how it went:
The woman was shopping. The malay family had their kids running around the shop and thier parents could not be bothered to stop them. As they run around they obstructed the woman's path, and she had to say 'excuse me' several times. She got pretty pissed off and started lamenting to the family. The family 'bu shuang' so they quarreled...
Anyway nothing really happened, no one was injured.

So that's about it today. By the way i still don't feel like doing my homework, but i plan to at least complete li jie wen da tonight. Okay, bye for now.
