Q: What is the ultimate torture?
A: 10 sets of 40m of high knee lifts with coach (aka pandian) shouting "HIGHER! HIGHER!" continuously, after a warm up that had taken half my life away.
Q: What is one thing i enjoy a lot?
A: Going home to sleep after pandian's training

had 2.4 km run ytd. my results wasn't satisfying at all. 9 mins 54 seconds, a mere 6 seconds improvement from my personal best of 10mins, a timing which i clocked when i was in sec2. last year, i did 10mins as well, but i told myself it's ok because i had just recovered from my injury.
seriously, 9:54 shouldn't be the timing i should be doing now... i definitely have to ability to go better... so why didn't i? muscles aching? weather too hot? no one to pace me? or is it simply the fact that i'm not mentally strong enough... i shouldn't have slowed down for the 3rd and 4th lap just because my leg was feeling sore, now i regretted it, haix.
hahax nvm lar, i'll look on the bright side, at least i got an A for the run. finally i got a gold for napfa again, after achieving only a silver last year. haha.

haha as usual for chem lesson today i was desperately arguing with miss ong over a lot of my answers, hoping that she would reward me half a mark so that i can get a 70%. however i still could succeed and my mark still remained at 69.5833333333%. but when she gave us the list to check our scores, it wrote 70%, so i guess the chem department decided to round it up, lolx. yay, a2 for chem. as for a.maths, mr. ang, being a niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee person, added 3 marks for my paper! haha! 3 method marks, and that means got a1 for a.maths! whoo!
however, lit was disappointing lar, just a c5, though i had expected it to be lower because i didn't really study for it...
for napfa test today, felt that i did ok... here are my scores:
Sit-ups: 44 (purposely lag de, dont want to waste energy)
Pull-ups: 9 (=D)
Standing Broad Jump: 250cm (ok lar)
Shuttle Run: 9.5s (not bad)
Sit and Reach: 40cm (argh! wth!)
Yep, i got all As except for sit-and-reach, a C! haix. but i was rather happy with my pull-ups performance. for the pass month or so i've been training for pull-up almost everyday, and that really paid-off. today i managed a 9, then i was shocked when i realised that i could do more, haha but i didnt, dont wanna waste energy.
for training today, we were told to choose the events we want to run for track. haha, i got 200m and 400m, yay!
i'm aching like mad now. back, abs, hamstring, quads all aching. sian -_-

haix results so far have been fairly ok, though they were not up to my expectations...
Results so far:
EL paper 2 : 30/50 (lousy)
HCL: 59.25/100 (WTH!)
Chem: 69.58 (circled some questions to ask OHH to check, hope can get 70)
Physics: 65/100 (mr. soh took back our papers to add marks)
E.Maths: 78/100 (lousy)
A.Maths: 71.25/100 (could have done better)
for chem i really hope can get 1 mark leh, coz i think the chem department only round the marks to 1 d.p. I rmb last year i got 69.7 -_-
as for both maths, a lot of careless mistakes, cost me quite a number of marks, haix...
recently starting to play/like table tennis, but wq doesn't teach me, call me to observe and learn myself -_- nvm, but i dont think i have much time to play this year...
napfa test tmr, and my muscles are aching like mad! die lar, think tmr i will probably fail shuttle run becaue of this...

went for track training today. havent been running for quite a while already so i expected my performance today to be bad, and it was.
the track was rather wet as it had rained very heavily just before training started. ran three rounds for warm-up before coach arrived, apparently he wasn't told about us having training today and he just woke up when xinying called him -_-. for training, we were told that it was just practising baton passing, so i thought it wouldn't be not so tiring. i was wrong. i couldn't complete the training. maybe i shouldn't use the word 'complete'. coach just told us to keep practising again and again. i forgot how many times i practised before i finally could not take it anymore and stopped. was feeling very not used to it yet, as in, i just feel very weak and could not go on.
well anyway, i hope i can get my fitness back real soon, competition is just a month++ away. not much time to train, need to go strengthen my weak leg muscles xD
oh btw, yeow lin will be joining us for training for track season. now we have another strong runner =)

haix, today is friday the 13th and something unhapy did happened. it happened in the morning in class before morning assembly. we were crapping as usual in class until someone started teasing me about something. then after a while another someone joined in at added a lot of crap. anyway it was just some childish stuff but i was already quite pissed about it as it has been going on for some time. i had already warned them a million times go around saying stuff abt me that is not true and they keep saying it until more and more people believes (especially one of them who goes around spreading). to the two someones: u all think u know me very well is it? no, so i hope u just cut the crap. anyway, one of the someones tell me to just admit 'it' lar and that got me pissed cos i already emphasised time and again that there is nothing already and that someone sound like he/she knows everything liddat. for a moment i lost my temper and went up to that someone and slammed the table with all my might. and he/she kept quiet.
i apologise for startling the class, my fault for losing my temper. just wanna tell the two someones that i rarely get pissed and the two someones have really gone too far. dont worry, 1 minute after that happened i already qi4 xiao1 liao. i'm not longer angry about that incident anymore, but what still pisses me off is that one of the someone still doesn't admit that he/she is wrong and blamed it on the other someone for starting it. for goodness sake u're already how old liao? be more mature can?
heck lar, i'll just take it that that never happened. anyway, though today is friday the 13th, the results i got back today were rather satisfying. i'm still short of half a mark to get a2 for my chem and i asked a lot of questions when going through the paper today xD. then ohh ask me to circle out the questions then she go confirm whether correct anot. hope i can get that half a mark which will determine if i get b3 or a2. for physics i got 78/120, a b3 and that's the highest in class -_-" seriously lar, 4k, we need to buck up. the physics paper is can do de lor... we'll need to work harder... for maths, i'm totally disappointed. 78/100. crap lar, i was at least hoping for 80+... havent got back the others but heard that we did badly for hcl...
tmr training start liao, havent been running for some time...
edited: hmm on second thoughts i wasn't really angry at that time. maybe i appeared to be angry bah, i was trying not to be. i just wanna shut someone's big mouth up, that's all

finally the mid-yr exams have come to an end. whew, can take a break liao, for now. a.maths paper was rather managable lar, not as hard as i expected it to be (cos i heard it was set by ng hai guan). well anyway, hope i can get a low l1r5 this time..
after the paper today, went to causeway point to eat at seoul garden with laysze, nalan, kaixuan, des and et. i forgot to bring $$$ so had to borrow from des, hahax. stayed at seoul garden from like 1 - 4 (was it?), ate quite a lot lar, though des claimed that it was too little for him. after that, wandered around causeway pt from a while before heading home.
and i had been very lucky on my way home. i was listening to my mp3 and walking home and there was this place where i hard to cross the railway track. then when i was crossing halfway i suddenly noticed that the barrier was down and the cars had stopped and i was like uh-oh. but lucky i was early cos the train on zoomed pass ard 15 secs after i crossed the track, if i had been 15 secs later i might not have heard the train coming =X
haha anw i'm alive so yar, lolx. training gonna resume soon. only have 1.5 months to train for track season cos cross season ended late. i doubt that's enough time for us if we really wanna do well...

haix wat a BAD day lar. chemistry is like suppose to be one of my better subjects lor. if i want a low L1R5 i'm suppose to ace my chem paper. BUT, my stupid flu purposely got worse today. it was still okay during paper 1 which i think i did rather well. then halfway during paper 2 it was like argh! my nose kept leaking and i kept sneezing. in the end i didnt even have the energy to think! i'm not even sure wat i wrote made sense lor. i hope it does though...
gone... my hopes of getting L1R5 below 20 fading away very quickly... sigh...
