The Ninety-first post of a Lifetime

Hohoho! Look look I wanna start off with some pictures! They're cool pictures, and guess what? They aren't from redsports.sg! Hohoho! Won't tell you where I got them from! Hahaha! Yeahhhh aren't I evil? (((:

Let's start the show!

The beginning of the 80mHurdles finals. Don't we look cool? XD Me and Janna are on the far right, if you can't see us.

Look that's the race starting! Oh boy, my start does look horrible, and I look lethargic too. :p

Oh ho! That's me and Janna running the 80mHurdles finals. Look I'm jumping so much higher above the rest~Haha! After 400m finals too!

Heyy this is a picture of Yi Yi and me in the background! On the website, this pictures headlines were "C Div 400m Champion" in bold letters man! Haha! Cool man, Yi Yi!

Lookie lookie! It's me and windy hugging after 400m finals. I have no idea what YiYi is doing though, she looks like she's shovelling something. XDD

Ahh wasn't that nice? Well then, let me tell you what I did today.

We celebrated Janielle and Carolyn's birthday today. We as in Xinyi, Windy, Valerie, Yan Ling and me plus the birthday girls of course. Well, we used unblowable candles so when they tried to blow the candles out, it unfortunately, did not blow out. So we teased them into saying that they weren't going to get their wish because the candle kept relighting haha! Well, they managed it after about 2 minutes of continuous huffing and puffing. Then we ate the cake, had some chips, drank some limited strawberry flavoured f&n (which did not taste all that nice XD) and ended up the party trying to roast marshmallows on top of the birthday candles, burnt part of the cake in the process, watched it melt in awe as it flowed down the side of the cake like lava, mixed some marshmallows in it which we couldn't eat after that because the plastic bottoms of the candles melted into the cake too and finally started to throw chocolate at everybody which ended up with a smear of choc on my left cheek and some in my hair which made it sticky and feel like paper. But of course, we cleared all up in the end. ((:

The Ninetieth Post of a Lifetime

Look! I'm so bored I'm writing another post!
Hahahaha! I don't know what to write now....Let's see...what shall I talk about? There's nothing much I want to share really....Oh wait! there is one very funny incident during the final day of the track nats! Hahaha!
You see, all the competitors had to sit outside the stadium because the inside was really hot. So i was feeling very bored, and put my ticket into the baton I was holding. (You needed a ticket to get into the stadium or else well...you can't get in!) Then oh noes, it's stuck! So I was in pretty deep well...shit if I couldn't get it out again. So I started to blow through it. And after much huffing and puffing I managed to blow the ticket to the other side of the baton.
Unfortunately, Yi Yi, my most impatient juniorXD, took the baton from me and attempted to pull it out. Thus tearing the ticket into half. And as you can infer from the previous sentence, i was now in REALLY, deep shit.
Sooo I gathered up my wits and courage and with the help of Petrina, put the ticket together in such a way that it looked like it had been folded into half. So I walked grandly to the official at the left hand side of the gate with Joy in tow shaking her head, held my torn ticket up high and waved it in front of the official's face and said, "MY ticket." and put my arm elbow deep into the carton which he was holding which was full with hundreds of tickets. And thus I went out through the RIGHT hand side of the gate, collected another new, straight, uncreased and NOT torn ticket with Joy in tow rolling her eyes and walked back to the group of laughing seniors and crazy juniors sitting next to the pillar in the middle of nowhere with blue and white ribbons in their hair. My mission was accomplished! Haha! It was great. And it has not been exaggerated.

I am not a leach. I am but a delightful sponge.

Eeeehhh. I did the maths test paper for fun because Mrs Seet asked me to. Oh my gosh it's so easy man! I think I could have gotten 20 something for that paper mann! And I just had to miss it! Ohhh stupid 80mhurdles! Made me miss my test!
I bought a purple towel yesterday from the supermarket. I am now trying to use a face towel during training because the last time I tried I was too lazy to use it. I prefer to feel the sweat trickling down my nose and onto the track cos I feel really accomplished that way. Boom-de ya-dah!
Ehhh my chest still hurtsss. Hahaha! But I don't wanna see the doctor woohoo! I'm quite high today! I think it's because Canteen Day in church is finally over! I'm so happy! I was one of the MM (Mobile Movers) who had the difficult job of selling cookies and cakes and toasties and got turned down 1 out of 20 times. I think I'm getting skinner no matter what you say Joy!! I can fit into my Levis better than ever before!

B div 2nd runner up and C Div team Champion! Woohoo! Now does that rock or does that rock?
C Div was 3rd for 4 by 400m. Hahaha! It's okay what right? I know everyone was expecting us to be champion, but you never know can you? Windy's leg hurt yes, but at least she finished it! Hahah! Then at least Ying Ting maintained the position I well....passed to Yi Yi and she ran her hardest! And we even ran 3 seconds faster than what we ran in the heats! 4:17min with an injured girl! Yeah! Never ending team and fighting spirit yeah? That's the best thing to get from a race. Better than a gold medal I must say ((;
B Div was 2nd for 4 by 100m and 3rd for 4 by 400m. Hahaa we did great St Nick's! It's so cool isn't it? C Div R.gym team champion, A.gym team champion, Trampoline team champion and now Track and Field team champion! Ohh my gosh how cool is that?? Now it's just the swim team left...hahaha! Ah well, no pressure on them of course! XDD Woohoo 2009 is a good year!

The Eighty-seventh Post of a Lifetime

Nervous? Well you should be! Hahahaahaha! Just kidding. In a way.
I'm going to die for Physics test on Friday. Thank goodness Joy is going to teach me tomorrow during the time between our event and the time we rush into the stadium to chop the seats. Or is it zhop? Or jop? I don't know. Let's just say reserve then.
I'm scared we might be disqualified. Argh...if we do then we are so SCREWED. And we'll be mightily embarrased and shammed by the whole Sec 4 cohort. How horrid. Oh noes. Hahaha. Well let's not think about that. We can do it! We'll try our best, and do our best!
"If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, i know I can achieve it." ~ Jesse Jackson. Well, let all the sprinters and throwers competing tomorrow remember this line! If they read it somewhere of course. And I like to share this small poem with you all too!

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

when the road you're trudging seems uphill,

when the funds are low and the debts are high,

and you want to smile but have to sigh,

when care is pressing you down a bit,

rest if you must but do not quit.

Success if failure turned inside out;

the silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

and you can never tell how close you are

it may be near when it seems so far;

so stick to the fight when you're hadest hit-

It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

Well, isn't that nice? Hahaha! All the Way SN!!

The Eighty-sixth Post of a Lifetime

OH HO!
Ern May calculated today the points we could achieve! WE CAN BE THE CHAMPIONS!!! Cedar had 3 runners in 800m and we don't have any, so we only have 4 by 400m left. But we gave the Cedar girls the highest positions for 800m (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and gave them points for 4 by 100m. And guess what, we'd still win cos we know we can beat them in the 4 by 400m finals! Oh yeah! Come on man! It's up to the 4 by 400m runners now!! Oh noes!
Argh plus my chest still hurts...:/ Dunno why. I think it's overstrain cos it's not the muscles. I can't stretch it. It hurts when I walk up the stairs! Can you imagine? How weird. Anywayyy. I have to sleep early tonight. Yoohoo! We can do it SN TRACK AND FIELD!!!Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya!
And I got my phone back!

The Eighty-fifth Post of a Lifetime

I'm tired.
At least i won a medal. 3rd for 400m yay! 6th for 80mHurdles and overall 1st for 4*4oo with a timing of 4:20:94min. Yayy. After the 4*400 my chest hurt like crazy and I need to us e lot of effort to take a deep breath even now. I'm so tired I don't want to blog anymore so goodnight and good run SN

The Eighty-fourth Post of a Lifetime

Let's scratch that previous post. How demoralizing that one is. Hahahaha!
Okay, here's my proposal! I'm going to show the officials, judges and spectators out there just who they're dealing with! What school they're dealing with and what we can be like when we're on full power and bubbling with revenge and anger and goodness knows what.
Well, however, as there is always a hitch to all plans, I have 400m finals at 9.35am and then 80mHurdles finals at 10.05am. How horrid. Well, I have to run from the finishing line (get my medal if I have any) to the call room and report, then stretch and do hurdles. Without even practising a single one. Hmph. Well, that's a problem. I'll just hope for the best and do my best too! I really really wanna make up for the points lost at the relay(RAWR!!!) and maybe get top 4 for both! Then 4 by 400m heats at 3 something I believe. Ah well....please pray for me?

The Eighty-third Post of a Lifetime

You have no idea what it's like.
You may all think it's okay when you're comforting us, but it's NOT. It's NOT when you're in our position. We let the team down. We let the people who ran their fastest in the heats to get into the semis down. We let the school down. We let ST NICKS down. We are the ones who are responsible for you to watch the other school's 4*100m finals and St Nicks WON'T be running!It's my fault! It's all my fault! I stumbled when I tried to give the baton to Janna. I slowed the whole team down. I have no idea why Janna is crying, but I think I should be the one to blame. I am the one who made the team get disqualified. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT FEELS. Oh gosh oh damn it. I really really wish I could not have run today. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry I let all of you down. St Nick's won't be running full glory on the 23rd because of me. Oh my gosh I'm so so so sorry. I'm letting all of you go through this humiliation because of me me me me me me. I'm the one to blame I'm sorry. Just sorry.

The Eighty-secondth Post of a Lifetime

How demoralizing...
Actually I don't have any feelings right now. Haha! I was first in heats and now I've been pulled back to 4th in the semis. Really! How gross can it get? Hahahaha! Well...I dunno. Dunno what to say and think. I'm sick again. How annoying. I'm always catching a fever during Nationals. Doc says it's due to stress. But I didn't feel anything! People said I was even excited or maybe even really calm. Anyway, I had fever in the morning so I had to run with it haha! But at least it had gone down a bit. I made another new PB. 63.41s, when I'm sick! Hohoho! But Windy was first with 63.19s. Her new PB too. See how competitve we all are in Secondary Track? If we run the same race on Monday, we'll all be up in one straight line.
80mHurdles on Friday. I'm not nervous, I'm not scared, I'm not excited. I'm just a bit disappointed because I'm not in a good lane. Lane 1, only one opponent next to me to drive me on, and that won't help. Plus, I'm nearer to the gun, and I haven't really practised in a while. I'm running with Shi Qing, well, let's jia you!!
Hahahaha...I'm skipping school tomorrow again. So I'm missing the graded assignment for History and most probably the Maths and Chinese bao zhang du hou gan test too. Woot! (((: Thank goodness.....

The Eighty-first Post of a Lifetime

AHHHH!!!!!
AHHHH!!! I'm first qualifier for 400m semis! AHHHH! Oh my gosh OH NO!!!!
Ahhh! I don't want to be! Then everyone will be saying tomorrow, "Oh look! That's Jessica, the fastest qualifier for 400m! Let's gang up on her and beat the crap outta her!" Oh my gosh, I really pity the fast runners! Of course I'm not fast because Charlene and the others might not have been running all out. But at least I did PB. ((: 63.75s. Ahhhh.....
Well, let's do our best tomorrow for semis then. I won't say I can't do it. Because before the race I said to myself I CAN DO IT out loud! hahaha! It worked I think. I was feeling much better after that. XD
All the way trackers! Believe in God, do your best and let God do the rest!

The Eightieth Post of a Lifetime

Can you believe it? In 2 weeks, it will all be over. It will all be over. Oh my gosh! I'm soo excited! Eeeeeeh!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!! Woohoo! Oh my gosh yesyesyesyesyesyes~~~
There are only 2 heats for 80mHurdles, and the top 8 fastest get into the finals. So I have a chance cos there are only 14 people competing I believe. Come on come on! I'm so packed full of adrenaline today! I feel like running 400m now!
I finally managed to imagine me running 400m at the Nationals. What I told myself was this. Hey, the Nationals is just like any other competition. What's so different between the Nats and SAA? You win medals in both comps, you run with SSP and CG and NYG for both. So what's the difference? And what's so scary about it than the others? Maybe it's because of the air-con reporting room...(:
Honestly, whoever had the idea of haveing an air-con reporting room for the athletes? Because the person who invented that room, definitely was NOT an athlete in his young age. Hahaha! I like 4*400m. It gives me a nice feeling. Sort of. I can feel the fear and the nervousness but it's all overwhelmed by EXCITEMENT. Hey! Just go there and have fun and run like during training. You'll feel loads better. Trust me.
All the way!

The Seventy-ninth Post of a Lifetime

ARGH!
I have a lot of emotions rolling around me, but I just don't know what they are. I don't know if they're anger, fear, depression...jealousy? I have no idea. But I know that I'm not feeling satisfied right now. And that all I care about is....nothing but studies. I want to improve. But I have no idea why, right now, I just don't really give a damn for sports. That's very unlike me I know. But....that's to put it simply. Or maybe, it's because I'm just so darn tired. I don't feel like running next week. I just can't believe it's next WEEK. Okay, it's not even a week now. It's 6 days for me. I can't believe it's been a year since 2008 Nats. It's going to happen all over again. And I don't really like it.
Plus, I have no idea why I don't like track anymore! Urgh what's wrong with me?? This is the thing I don't really like about myself. I'm really really indecisive. And I have PMS like all day. Like in the morning I'm happy-go-lucky. In the afternoon I'm normal. And in the evening, silent, frowning, and withdrawn.
Like what the hell, is this puberty!?
Ahh! Even my use of vocab has changed! I'm speaking like an....ah lian? Noooo....what should I do? I'm tired, I have a speech tomorrow, the science report is due tomorrow, and we haven't even done the experiment yet. We're so dead meat.
What a screwed up life I've got.

The Seventy-eighth Post of a Lifetime

Woohoo!! Very highh today!!!
Ahahahahahaha! Hahahaahaha! I can't stop laughing! And I managed to speak Chinese for the whole of track training today! Oh my gosh, I didn't know Chinese was so fun! iT'S SUPERR FUNNY when you insult someone in Chinese. And because I can't pronounce the words properly it'll take a while for the words to sink in before my victim will realise what I was trying to say and by that time I would have had ample time to make my escape! HAHAHA!! The best surprise attack mann!
I'm going to support gym tomorrow. The whole day from 7.30 to 6.30. That's 11 hours stuck in a stadium. But at least I can go to J8 and get coloured markers and paper and do encouragement cards. ((: Ahhhhh........nationals. I want to quit track for track and join tramp! Woohoo! Woohoo!
But of course in reality. That will never ever happen. Ms Lim will never ever let me go rawr>.<

The Seventy-seventh Post of a Lifetime

Ohh lookie there! Look at the pictures! hahaha! I look satisfied...((: Yi Yi looks nervous.. My location of the pictures failed though....Boohoo

The Seventy-sixth Post of a Lifetime

Ahhhh......
Track camp = not so very fruitful as last year. Less trainings, not really that fun because it was only one night. )): And the motivational talk was slightly rushed, plus I didn't get much encouragement notes.)); Boohoo. Ah well, at least I got some nice ones! Quality, not quantity! Actually, I didn't really write much myself.
There was a cockroach in the band room, and we spent quite a lot of time trying to sweep it away alive until Ms Lim came to see what the fuss was about and asked us to wack it then sweep it. Unfortunately we failed, and it ran away in between the drums. haha! At least nothing crawled into me sleeping bag in the middle of the night.
Oh yeah. I had a good sleep, until someone snored so loudly she woke me up. Then I went back to sleep until Joy woke me up at 6am to write encouragement notes, but in the end we didn't. Then I tried to wake Windy up, and turned out that we woke the wrong person up and woke 4 other people in the process. :/ Epic failure...
We managed to do our PB for 4*100m todayy! 53,63s you know! Faster than what we ran int he SPH relay with other schools! Amazing isn't it? Haha quite. Anyway, I am quite tired so I think I'll go to bed now.

The Seventy-fifth Post of a Lifetime

Team champion for tramp.
Yay.
However, not so yay either.
I managed to do the most fabulous routine in a week! I joined everything, jumped high, blahblahblah. Ms Lim was standing by watching, and we all got a shock when I only got 7.1 out of 8. Ms Lim said that the marks were marked down, in other words, they gave me lower points than they should have. In other words, I couldn't win even though I could have been second.
It's dumb! Stupid! Disgusting! How can people be like this?! We all trained so hard for 6 months, we had tonnes of stress, failed exams because we didn't have time to study, gave up our leisure hours for training, and it's all ruined by some people who sit by and watch and give you a lower score because they don't like your coach and wants other schools to win for a change. All our hardwork is ruined! Gone down the drain in a blink of an eye! Arrgh I can't get over it! It sucks!! RAWR!
