No 8. I want my 7!!

Huh.....im sure only 1 week of break.

Why slim Why?!?! last year we had at least 2 weeks ++. Oh i guess it's because of the nats junior. It's quite important anyway. hahah hope that got another nice break after Juniors.

Break are nice
Cos breaks are fun
Cos I can relaxed
And do my own stuff

wow. i can write nice poems too =)
--------------

Anw I am quite disappointed with my Napfa result. WASTED!!!

Tell you why. My expectation was >8min. Guess wad my time was?!?!?!??!?

8.00min. ZERO. ZERO. LING. LING.

Screw the 8 mins! I want my lucky 7. The feeling is like if you had gone just slightly slightly faster, the timing would have been much better. Sigh...Now i gotta face my 5 station. One of which (shuttlerun) I have absolutely no confidence in.

Sry but just expressing anger. No offence or putting down is directed to anyone in the world/school or wadeva.

Track Nationals

Well, it went quite smooth for me i can say. Being in the B-div was a whole new experience. Different and very enriching. I am quite glad with my timings fot this year. Managed to sub 10 for 3000m =).

But I feel that everyone was super sway. Seriously.

First, i think wang kwan injured. His knee or smth. Then his bad "aura" spread to GL. Who pulled his precious hamstring. Had to miss the 800m heats. And that is half the nationals gone. Oh wait before that, my knee oso kena. Dun why, the pain was in the knee, then the ITB and TFL got affected. Suddenly my whole leg engulfed in pain. Running was like hell for me. Didn't manged to train for 1500. and hd little 3000m training =( . Ok lets continue. Then I heard Cal Kor and Syafiq also down with injury. That led to the downfall of our 4 x 400m. In the end, the team consisted of 3 sec3s (CX, FK, JT) and 1 sec 4(seow). Lols. We died. Like crap.

Oh yah, still got Alex yeo. Also down like ankle injury. Yeah he had to skip the whole nationals. So sad. I will be like damn emo if i have to miss my 3000. Cos i wont have any race experience. Haiz...

Sorry people. I can feel the pain too. I don't like it too. (I missed my All comers. Not as bad =P )

Anyway. Track final was quite fun. hahah and as usual the dinner was quite screwed at the first part. First there was this controversy whether the restaurant was halal or not. Despite repeated reminders an assurance, Dong Yee/ Syamir and Gang Still left. Claiming that "they don't trust the place" So yah. left only two sec 2s and rest of B div. Of course the RG people too.

But i can say that they chose quite well. Cos this dinner was different from the rest. It was a spread of BUFFET. And they serve very nice food. Whole variety. Hmm. DELECTABLE AND DELICIOUSSSSSS. hahaha. And of course, the pranks and everything. Seow, HZ, GL and Gang. hahahah screwed up but very nice and friendly bunch of Goondoossss.

Yeah Believe it or not. I was raped. RAPED ALRIGHT. Privacy invaded u know that sort of hardcore rape action. ALL SEOW's IDEA. Let me describe it vividly to you....
Seow drag me to the floor. With hao zhi kind assitance, they held my both limbs. Then Gl and WK came in. Pulled off my shirt. Used a stupid PERMANENT MARKER. And freaking wrote some words on my stomach *cannot say*. HAHAH THEN they colour like precios nipples. wah kao. its still there. and I bathed 3 times. WTH mans.

Don't learn from me

hahaha I'm torrenting movies. Pls do not learn from me. I know its bad, but its fun plus they're quality are superb. Haha in total i torrented around 40+ . Somehow I download so many but i haven't watched a single one yet. If you want some of the movies, pass me your hardrive, I give you all. R21 also have.

Haiyoh, so disapointed with my dear, cutie-pie everest. He's timing was UNBELIEVABLE. I also don't know how someone like him can achieve such commendable results. Let's start from heats. 12.30!! My gosh.... *State of shock*. Well, like most athletes says, races are very unpredictable. I guess Evee has to learn to control his emotions. Apparently he was so nervous, it affected him instead of giving up adrenaline rush.

Nvm Evee, still got 2 more years. Hopefully, you will medal by sec 4. Wo Dui Ni He Syamir You Xin Xin!! Strive hard and All the way.

3000m finals

YES!!! My important event is finally OVER!!! HAHA i feel so relaxed. But i think of studies i feel damn stressed. I'm like missing out on all my freaking tests. Today i missed chem test. Thursday I gonna miss Math Ta. wth lah. Back to race details.

Distance: 3000m B-boys
Timing: 9.58 min. I smashed my PB WOOHOO!!!
Position: 6th

Indians have a special talent for running. Think about it, all the top international runners are mostly Negroes. They have this factor in them lah. Their legs are like a stick but full of muscle and energy. And Top 5 today were all indians. I'm a quarter. So that makes 5 1/4 =)

Now for the 1500m on thursday.
------------------------------------------
Today Dong Yee was damn pissed.

Cos he got fired by mr lim for poning school in the morning to race in the afternoon. Plus he changed into some really fashionable shirt and slippers after in came. Slim not happy, say what "A sportsman must wear shoes and a proper shirt" haha so dong yee forced to change.

Then it all started. Dong yee say he wants to quite cross. Syamir heard it, Syamir now also want to quite. He said Slim give up on everybody already. Only left Jonathan and Everest and Joel. Of course he didn't say to slim lah. But he was damn rebellious. I guess he should grow out of it lah. He was shouting all sorts of vulgarities when we lunched. PUBLIC SOMEMORE.

Dad's Half a Century Old

Today is a very special day:

My Dad's 50th birthday!!!

Well, its not really his b-day, next thurs is the real one but we can't celebrate then, so now lor.

Anw I think it was the most well prepared and best b-day my dad has ever had. I mean it doesn't have any really cool things. It was very homly. We prepared a banner! And we have never done that before! So yah, plus we had delectable feast of STEAMBOAT. Just finished eating, I feel like eating somemore. After that, we had LANA CAKES..eaten so many times but just can't get tired of it =). HAHA I made my dad hold a number "50" sign wherever he goes. Cool.

HAPPY 50th Birthday DAD. Age gracefully and happily.
-----------------------------------------------------
3000m heats tomorrow.
Just thinking about the starting point makes me nervous..After tomorrow, SO MUCH MORE RELAXED. Sigh..i so lonely again. All by myself having to face the terrors of a race.

Stuff that's Stuff

ORA tmr, i don't really know what to expect because I have never been to one. Anw I think I shall go for interval training first.

Ever since my injury, my training sessions has been really erratic. Till the extent I feel so empty within me, like there is something not rite. Some people really dread CCA but no matter how much I dread, it has already become part of my life. Don't want to go, still go. In fact, since sec 1 i had this plan to skip 1 training without excuse. Haven't been able to achieve it though. Because I'm addicted to the sense of satisfaction after training. I like the feeling, feels like you are a top achiever.

What I'm afraid now is that it is beginning to take over my studies. I realised that i dont mind giving up a 3.8 gpa for a gold medal. I know it should be the other way round. But it's just this instinct that bugs me.

Just finished my masterlife testimony. I quite glad it is gonna be over. It is a tough commitment. Because you have one extra hmk everyday. Plus they give you assignments to do.

Heats all over

Just so you know, fortunately I qualified for all....THANK GOD.

Injury wise i think im getting better because the pain is gradually fading away. Thanks to dad's super cool tiger balm cum talcuum powder massage everyday! plus icing of course. Thank lord jesus too for helping me through this tough period/crisis.

Now For m timings:
For 3000m: 10.19
1500m: 4.45

I was really pushing very hard during the 1500m race. Though I could have accelerated faster at the last 300m i guess. Was boxed in at the 1st part too. nevertheless, I qualified as the 15/16 qualifier!!! Wilbert super pro. he qualified as 1st. With a timing of 4.35. LOLz!

Stressed and Burned Out

Really really really stressed and Burned...

My life is very screwed up right now. I wish i could like just turn back time and set a whole new route. My life could have changed...

Firstly, I have a physics test and an English exposition thing tomorrow. Which I feel really unprepared for. I studied 1 hour of physics and i'm still very confused. Science is full of stupid contradictions. Screw it lah

Secondly, My knee....I have nothing to say. But cry. WTH WAD THE SHIT IS WRONG WITH IT. I tried all kinds of remedies and stretched. The stubborn pain just refuses to go away..sighhhhh. Furthermore, track nats is in 5 day. 3000m heats. I feel nervous yet unprepared. Thats the worst feeling you should have for a race. At least if you noe that you are in top form, but just nervous, thats fine. Now it's NO confidence and nervous. Such a feeling it's a torture to the human mind.

Thirdly, 3D interclass deco gone case. The grading is next week rite? I think so. All we have is a few sheet of paper, scribble on some words, and paste. No sign of class decoration/ class effort. Tried getting people to print. And I'm not a designer person, I can't seem to think of any shit.

Fourthly, I have ALOT of things to do for RE and little time left. Some more tomorrow I will only come back at around 8. Plus need to do tuition homework. Wa lao How ?

Fifthly, i just watched some video's on animal cruelty, and i don't feel good. Poor animals. Srsly, it's like damn sad when you watch the videos. SO heart-breaking. just imagine you feel the pain toooooo.....Ouch.

Thinking of any inspiring quotes too cheer myself up. But constantly failing. Cos I think of Nats I feel damn stressed. Track scares me. But i have to face it.

The Emo and Frustrated,
Ben =(

EMO and Happy

i feel emo now.....
Cos I dunno wad's wrong with my knee. Could It be ITB? Could it be A muscle strain? I really hope that it's some pain that goes off within few days. Yah if not for this Sat 3000m may not make it. Sigh...

Aiyah anyway, this is part and parcel of a runner life. Gotta accept it, sometimes you body is just plainly stubborn and then we have to give up an important event or trainings. So nvm, I will try my best to stay positive and hope for the best mans!!!

Another thing to be sad about: MY MALAY CCT IS TMR
I'm don't have that "Xiong You Cheng Zu" feeling (it's okay if you dun understand =D ). Cos I don't have that spark of interest for malay anymore, srsly I did it because my mum says i should have some challenges in my life lol. Haiz...so when i study i just feel like tearing the book apart and flush it down the toilet.

Really feel like quitting. But I found out that success comes with perseverance and patience. Yes but how can I persevere in something i don't enjoy doing. Yah, but I my decision was to go with malay so I'll stick with it. YEAH...
----------------------------------------
On a happier note,
I finally have confidence in my RE project liaoz!! YES! We decided that we shouldn't give tuition if we are focusing on children.

Why?

Think like a primary school kid. Has Tuition ever..ever..ever...appealed to you. In fact, when the tuition teachers rings the doorbell, i bet you cursed and swear. Don't Lie! Cos I did it too....

Haha we are planning a sports programme for the children at the hougang student care service. Apparent their schedule and ours fits quite perfectly. Ms Yang is SUPER friendly and approachable and she was FOR our proposal to conduct a sports programme!!! SO YEAH. We have found out match baby.....

Sigh got interval training tomorrow. Then got malay cct b4 that. Somemore tomorrow lessons are as boring as boredom!!!! Wah lao....
