Mrs Look: Why did you all have to come back to school?
Wei Quan: Because we miss you.
Mrs Look: I think you all will drive me to my grave
Me: We have no driving license

school reopening. should be able to finish my hmwk, have to pia though...
nationals nearing, starts on the 7th of july. target for this year: semi-finals for 200, 400, 4x100. finals for 4x400. all not easy to achieve... i mean, the odds are against us for relay, and for 200 and 400, i have to try really hard...
still did not have enough speed endurance... today for training, suppose to do 300m, 200m and then 100m, all out for all 3, but i only lasted the 300 and 200 before i collasp. baton passing... should be okay lar, used to using my right hand already, that's easy. the hard thing is that i have to chase zhenjie =P hope i don't flop xD

this morning, received a letter from njc, saying that i have not been short-listed for their DSA exercise. i didn't know how to describe how i felt at that instant. there's no doubt that i was disappointed over it, but strangely, i felt more motivated than sad. motivated in the sense that i suddenly want to study, and this time the thought of 'i want to do well for 'o' levels and get into njc' is stronger than before. i finally fully understood the meaning of 'shi bai shi chen gong zi mu' (failure is the mother of success)
i'm not gonna let myself down again

nationals is just a few weeks away... in a few weeks time, i need to bring my 400m timing down from 58s to 55s... bah, have to work really hard...
holidays is ending soon, dont have much time left, still have tons of homework not completed. can't seem to get into the mood to do them, still unable to get myself to start serious revision for o levels, somebody help me...
i understand that people feel sad due to various reasons, because they think that they're being unfairly treated, because something bad happens to them, because they feel left out etc. these kind of stuff are just unavoidable, it just have to happen. at this point of time, who do u have to blame? the person who make ur life difficult? or urself? hmmmm, i dunno abt the others but if it was me, i would just blame myself for being stupid, and try and just forget about it...
to someone: dont be feeling so down, cheer up k?

oh anyway, here is a a song which is i like:
Good Charlotte - We Believe
There's a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night
Downtown another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right
Just wanna make this right
We believe(x6)
In this love
We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pain
(So let it be)
There's a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more
We believe(x6)
In this love
We believe(x5)
In this love
So this world is too much for you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I'll be everything you need
In every way
We believe(x6)
In this love
In this love
We believe
In this love
We believe
In this love
We believe
In this love

thinking back, i realised that the last time i ran a 400m race before yesterday's was in... hmmmm... school sports heats last year. then i realised, oh my, it has been THAT long?! hahax.
yesterday's race was pretty okay for me. i like racing at night, it's so cooling, hahax. anyway, my 400m timing was 58.92, a little slower that what i had expected. 400m runners would know that the last 100m is the part where all ur muscles start to fall apart. my last 100m yesterday was kinda horrible. both my legs and arms started to feel really sore and that caused my running to be totally out of form, lolx. think i need to go and build up my triceps, hamstring and calf muscles... haha, the good thing is that the better runners from my heats, like runners from asci, swift and this runner from jb, were all absent xD thus allowing me to come in first in my heats xP but of course i didnt qualify for finals, lolx. zhenjie managed to do a 53.8 and that is like so damn fast, trashing me by 5 secs. he was the second qualifier for the finals, losing to the first person by only a few split seconds. i was like the second fastest from rv and my timing is nowhere near his, oh man...
will be running 4x400 this sat, along with yeowlin, yong hao and darius. zhenjie would be doing his 400m finals so he wouldn't be able to run with us (argh)... well, i wanna aim for a 57, hope i can do it =)

went to watch the cldds play yesterday after a damn tiring training (all trainings damn tiring one). was already damn tired, and still had to walk for a long time trying to look for the theatre, and i really regretted wearing jeans there, cos i was sweating quite badly -_-
anyway the play was kinda interesting, and humourous too. but i was damn pissed by the fact that we had a damn noisy audience, which i believe is made up of mostly sec1s. they just kept screaming like crazy hyenas when the light went off, and made lots of unnessecary noises throughout the play. to be a honest, i was rather pissed off. haha, but nvm lar, their sec1s mah, must understand that they still need time to be more mature.
today went out to orchard to help et hunt for someone's present. met up with tessa, vanessa, weekiat and yipchoon, and waited for them to take neoprints... after that, weekiat and yipchoon left and we wondered around hereens for a long time before finally deciding on the present. (spend a few hours just for one thing -_-)
these few days have been rather tiring, with all the hellish trainings (or in pandians case, trainings where we meet constantine) and all the lessons. sigh...
edited my blog layout. this time, it looks nicer on firefox than on internet explorer, hahax.
