Yo..Shh im hunting..

Yo.. K crap Man utd lost 3-0 to chelsea... and rooney got some injury.. totally insane... Chelsea is such an arrogant crap team that i kind of resent... when arsenal or liverpool win stuff i dun really like it either, but then at least they dun boast like there's no tomorrow, and dun cheat by having an infinite sum of money to spend on players, resulting in them being entirely financially unsustainable as an club...

I know a few chaps who started supporting chelsea simply becos they are winning now... its quite dumb especially when they start laughing untrue claims like how man utd is lousy and rooney sucks... someone juz told me this : "I AM SUPPORTING CHELSEA NEXT SEASON"..which doesnt make any sense unless they support bad losers...

school life is heating up as usual this time of the year... theres the usual concerts to attend, matches to watch, lecture/review tests to study for, half days to slack, and days before june when ppl actually think they are going to have a great holiday.. (until they discover that common tests are immediately after june) ... lol but this year its common test for year 2s, not mid years, so more slack....haha...

btw did i mention that its definitely a bit more stressful now? and i feel a bit unusual now that i dun have to train everyday... im juz running 3-4 times a week now...training is quite different now... since season is over..

Ok la so i guess for this week or so, ill study for chem lecture test, watch movies, cut hair, and do some conditioning a bit before NAPFA test which is the monday after labour day...

Ive considered the fact that since we are going NS, us guys have to do all 5 items plus 2.4 on the same day... im wondering if i shd relax on some items to conserve energy for 2.4km...

k here are my targets for this years NAPFA..

Pull ups: 10 or 14 (depending if i push myself or conserve energy..)
Sit and reach: 52cm (well i guess this one is just like taking height and weight)
Standing Broad Jump: 255cm (realised i have to work on executing jumps properly)
Sit-Ups: 46 or 56 (i dun think i will chiong this one though..waste energy)
Shuttle Run: 9.0s (i guess ill try not to trip or slide and run straight)
2.4 km: 8:15 mins (this is the final item for the day and i muz not anyhow)

Ok i guess thats about it for now... Ill either go watch the pianist now, or play winning eleven.. cya.

Yo..

it seems that this week wasnt a very pleasant week to me... could consider it as one of the suckiest weeks this year...

Somehow things usually dun turn out as we dream them to turn out as... theres quite a lot to elaborate on this so i rather not.. but anyway i ran 10.5km on my own on saturday, and did it in 42 mins... cos theres was some army guy chasing me behind at bedok reservoir, so i forced myself to stay ahead... it was the fastest time ive run for that route...

Anyway on monday i tot got PE so quite happy... turned out that i struck fever and spent the day and it felt quite sucky..
and tuesday on MC, and
wednesday still had fever, went to sch, had a photog outing at Sakae, ate too much and it felt quite sucky.. suffered the night cos cannot sleep...
Thursday had fever as well as severe diarrhoea in sch, went toilet 9 times from 6am to 4pm.. felt sucky and cannot train.
Friday finally no more fever.. Ole! Still felt a bit weak and cold so nvr train, and went to dance concert.. some concert..
So it was the first week that i couldnt train a bit to prepare for today's national juniors...
sigh.. i had already taken great care to drink tonnes of water, rest, and mentally prepare...knew i wasnt 100% ready but was juz gonna do my best..

All the slower guys didnt turn up for the 5km, leaving mainly the top runners like dash, jeffrey & ee ghim.. somehow something was wrong... after 600m, my mouth was totally dry! I was quite shocked actually but cannot do anything... tried to formulate saliva, but there was totally no saliva... it was like some amazing dehydration after 600m? nvr experienced such a thing before in my life... even running 20km also got no such thing sia...

then i realised when i tried to go faster, blister on both feet began to form... thk not used to Farrell's spikeshoes... usually wear racers.. the blisters were BURNING PAINFUL after a couple of rounds... it was crap! i nvr got blisters running in a dry race before la.. only like after paddling or swimming in the sea before running then got blisters cos got sand...

I thk my mental is not strong enough to block out the pain of the blisters.. was unable to maintain any faster speed cos of the pain... A really mentally strong dog might have juz blocked out the pain and run even faster to the extent of gushing blood...(remember yingren in the triathlon for the blood he shed)

aiya at least on my own blog like this i can make my excuses... actually quite disappointed ( like always) since this is probally one of my last races ill be running...which is quite sad cos training has been quite part of college life for long.. wierd not doing it... and so many VJ or non VJ ppl were watching me run like crap...they probally have their own opinions.. When Nabil the pro saw me limping around at the end he asked" what happened?" haha...cant walk for nuts now..

i do hope that ill start doing stuff well when it matters for the rest of the year... there are some months to go... Like A levels for instance.. and other stuff la..

K i go bathe... then i go sit around.. maybe play a winning eleven game?

Yo...

hey the cross country season is over... It juz came and went! it was real fun while it lasted too... In Mr Gi's final debrief for the season, he mentioned there were 3 parts to it... 1st part was high milege with some scattered intervals... 2nd part was an increase of quality trainings, with more intervals... i missed out the entire 2nd part due to injury! I juz came back somewhere during the 3rd part where it was high intensity stuff...

12 April.

I wont forget that day in a hurry... "Go get your Title" was the final word before the A boys race.. it was time to deliver, time to uncover the endurance that worthy champions hold.. from the start, Dashnanth took off in the lead..and so followed everyone else...

The pain and agony of sprinting 4.5km is probally undescribable.. adding to that the pressure for success and unexceptable failure, and it can be unnerving... ACJC, to be fair, really had a good day and ran an excellent race.. Kusal Leon Colin were really pushing the pace, trying to stick to mathew... farrell dex were storming just behind with nabil...

Hwa chong confirmed their status as sneaky dogs by keeping a low profile this entire year... They managed to avoid attention from everyone and sneaked in at the end...examples include xianglong running a crap race in wings, nga ting and samuel running badly in wings too registered as individuals rather than team...

So concluded things.. perhaps we were stunned... its difficult to accept something that u have declared before as failure..and begging to turn back time.. But looking back, was it really failure? Are we failures? us guys and girls have sacrificed, toiled, shed tears, blood, suffered, dunked, swam, picked trash, sung, cheered, joked, failed, succeeded and ran as one.
as a team.

We may have not be champions to ppl who never really cared less, but do we need to prove anything to them?

We are champions because we stand up and lift our heads high even thru disappointments. We may not have done our best, but we did the best we could do for that day... we pick ourselves up after we fall, and look forward.. to ourselves, we are the best team there can ever be.. to our coaches, they may be disappointed with the results, but never disappointed in US.

haha i kinda like the way this human character thing gets introduced into stuff..

yesterday there was another 4C outing... me, boon tat and kenneth watched some pro dude complete the entire game of House of the dead 4 with full life remaining...he headshotted almost everyone.. and we play pool..tried to tail JH but failed...

there was sports day too.. quite fun... k.

Why do you run?

So this is how it feels to lose... i had troubles smiling when we took that photo with the ACJC dudes.. and turf city kind of looked sad... like a setting sun thing or something... but nvm we'll fight back guys..

Yo...

So its done... I thk that this shd be the end of week 3 for term 2... kind of means that 3/10 of the term is over...

erm besides that, i thk that most stuff are going quite smoothly... going lectures and tutorials.. lagging behind tutorials but im still doing them eventually... hanging out with 4C ppl, photog, cross country, and feeling weedy...

rockclimbing has this new person called derrick wong in charge... maybe not so new, but i haven seen him till yesterday...

our photog year 2s will be having their final photog meeting soon... quite sad after a year of helming the photography front in VJ, slacking and eating dinner together while managing to be the "most enthusiastic bunch of VJ photographers" according to Ms Goh...

K lets name the 12 dragon baby gang...

Alvin (prata boss)
Tin Yau (tall boss)
Luke (dota secretary)
Chay Him(chief photog)
Me(catalogue head)
Rou Fang(moneybags)
Kenneth(slacking runner up)
Zhi lei(slacking champion)
Jiayan(occasionally not appearing)
Faiz(occasionally appearing)
the 2 girls(an attempt to balance the gender ratio)

Photog rocks!

Oh ya anyway next week, on 12th april specifically, is National Cross Country....at turf city in bukit timah... the slogan this year is "live to be your best".... its a day when dreams are realised and history is made... whats it gonna be in 2006? its time for victoria to helm the front and stay there! After 6 months of sweat, blood, grit, it all comes down to this day...
Victoria, Anglo-chinese, Raffles, Who wants the title more?



Oh ya so its game on! next week is going to be cool... cross on wed, sports day on thurs, good friday on friday, 4c outing on sat, and easter on sunday...

oh ya i submitted a photo for that NUS montage competition.. wonder how it'll fare... didnt really go with the theme , "Behind the Seen" but i used it anyway...its a picture of palawan beach... the first time that 05S17 went there to play...

Ive been observing the year 1s and ive noticed a growing trend of tension as they are realising that school work exists! haha but actually they'll all have no problems at the end of the day cos they're smart...

Ok anyway so i think thats about it this week..

Embrace the Pace

btw pity benjamin didnt come online so cannot play winning eleven today.. but nvm Arsenal vs Man Utd is coming up, and Man utd's gonna take the high flyers down...

Yo..
time is flying like a dog... seems like this week and last week was a couple of days ago.. (well it is)... but u know wad i mean...

Im listening to clocks now... maybe thats why i started talking about time... anyway i let Joel listen to "on fire" and "half life" and somehow he didnt really like it! said that it wasnt his taste...

Oh ya so wad else did i do? i did a bio SPA... so got 1 more SPA left to go before i can discard practicals for good... im playing in chem practicals now.. except for physics of course... since thats the last SPA...

i read lik khian's blog about how he got the photo with felicia chin... so now im editing that photo to see if i can improve it...

Speaking of photos, i think im going to join a photog competition... as in submitting a photo... its about time since ive spent a while taking photos last year... its the NUS Montage competition 2006...

And National cross country is coming up on april 12... training has intensified greatly.. for instance today we did 4.5km followed by another 4.5km and 5X slopes followed by another 4.5km followed by a 300m dash...
i have no problems about doing it but it seems my knee/shins and stuff need a lot more rest than im giving them...so cannot anyhow strain.. like now my left knee feels sore... and quite happy that VJ has a power packed team of 7-8 other runners... any of them is capable of making the top 10 i thk... great news...


Ok tomorrow im organising another 4C outing and i hope that at least 5-6 ppl turn up...

And yesterday there was musicfest...

sat with the cross team, and joel pangseied me anyway so i didnt have to pangsei him...and now i can suan him too...tin yau, alvin were the photographers so no need to pangsei them...someone also asked me to go musicfest with her but i had to pangsei so as not to pangsei everyone else... pity couldnt find a ticket for leonard to go since he has nvr been to musicfest be4..and i even saw michelle, (my pool partner that day we played and won) around.. shd have told leo to ask michelle for tickets...

Hmm... i realised that i have a problem watching the singing categories usually... cos somehow i had comments for most of the vocalists... pepper, who was joel's old classmate, was by far the best there... ok i thk i shall not comment about them in written form... anyway the judges were a bit anyhow... they anyhow judge... especially the dance when i tot jing lin's and brian's grps were better than that irritating year 1 dance girls... their dance was more like cheerleading la.. and their attire was quite sucky...

the band category was quite outstanding compared to last year's.. quite a great improvement...and lianghong and nigel won it so quite happy too.. the camels were great as usual, but lianghong and nigel totally showed/exposed their sheer skill and technique at the drums and guitar in the solos... so though the John Mayor song was less lively or songish than "Have a nice day", they won..

i dun like dark gloomy suicidal evilish and wadever that compells the individual to paint black rings around eyes to look like dogs, so im quite happy that the bandits were mediocre...

the popularity vote thing was wierd as it went to some person called christabel issit i cant remember... im still wondering how she garnered so many votes... could it be that she or her friends bought those pre paid cards and flooded 91709065 with solo 3? quite puzzling cos i tot Blaze and the camels were by far the most popular ones... especially since my CCA voted 750 times for Blaze...

the emcees were imran, a talented speaker, and priya, some TSD person from Jolie's school, SAC...

this is a relatively long post cos its sat afternoon and im quite free... i go bathe, eat dinner and watch a show or something now.. k bb..
