The 8th Ball

After a day of not much productive studying, what would PM4 do?

Play Pool of course!

I don't even know how this fascination with the "sport" came by, but it definitely started off with the guys in class. They would go off to the top of Asia Cafe during any free period. Two hour break? Pool la! Fed up of studying? Pool! Just feel like it? Pool! And pretty soon, the girls would occasionally join in, with some of us being more eager regulars.

Our Physics teacher even seems to encourage us playing pool. Since it involves the applications of Physics. You would have estimate the trajectory of the ball so it rebounds at the right angle, or apply the right amount of force to prevent your white ball from following the target ball into the hole. The element of luck is also needed when making uncertain shots.

The one setback would be coming out of the area smelling of smoke. Or finding yourself stranded there when a storm hits.

Hail pool, and how it has dominated much of PM4's break times. And to many more games to come!
