"This was the first time in my life that so many things would never happen again"

Forgot to mention that Ice Skating @ Kallang with Gaby, Angela, Vidhya and Tricia on Wednesday was an improvement from the last time in P6 during Megan's birthday party. Didn't fall as many times so that's a good thing right? Spent the last 2 days mentally preparing myself for Term 3, by watching stupid vidoes on Youtube, reading, writing about things no one really cares about, and searching for pointless facts on Google. Oh, and I also found out, who I was name after.


Martin Leach (born 11 January 1959 in New Zealand), is a convicted rapist and double murderer, and has been described as one of, if not the Northern Territory's (Australia) worst killer.
On 20 June 1983, an eighteen year old local woman, Janice Carnegie, and her fifteen year old cousin, Charmaine Aviet, were swimming at a popular recreational waterhole at Berry Springs. Leach watched the girls for some time, before forcing them at knifepoint to accompany him to a nearby gully.
He stabbed Janice in the stomach when she attempted to reach for Leach's knife. Following the stabbing, he then raped her. He stabbed and killed Charmaine, then stabbed Janice in the neck; a pathologist testified it probably took her 5 to 10 minutes to die. Their naked bodies were later found bound and gagged in a shallow grave.
I think my dad told me about this when I was much younger, but it never occurred to me to go and Google it. She's apparently my dad's childhood friend, or something along those lines. I also realized why my dad doesn't allow me to go overseas with friends, when I asked for the sake of the future. 

Going back to Wednesday, Angela asked me why I created a blog, and come to think of it, my ridiculous response actually made sense. HAHA. 
" In case I get into a car accident, and lose my memory. Then I'll be able to read all my previous posts and gain some memory back, and know who were the ones who were close to me." 
Okay, maybe it doesn't make much sense.
