Jumping onto a cloud of faith.

Dear fellow folks, you have chose to come forth and read this online parchment dating back to the early past.

Once upon a time, long before now, there was a hopeful teenager by the name of Chao2 Chao1. He lived in the sub-urban town known as Jurong in the tiny tweeny nation Singapore. He always had average performance in the schools he attended. Never was he in the limelight nor was he anything close to popular. Despite living an ordinary life for 16 years, he made up his mind fast and became focusing on the short-term goals he wanted to achieve. In one year's January, he entered Jurong Junior College. "Again...I will start anew. I'll be better than the best I've ever been in the previous institution," he told himself.

Perhaps it was his good fate, the college reaccepted him among hundreds of students vying to get into the school even though Chao Chao's results were below par. JJC was so lively and enjoyable that attending the school each day was not a chore but a pleasure. He felt light-hearted because there were adequate facilities for his interest(i.e high jump) and the tutors were excellent. Chao Chao was different. While other students were busy having fun, he was always critically thinking about his own life. "I'm going to run my own race," a voice inside him echoed. Everything felt so right that he had forgotten the taste of a setback. And somewhere else in the school, she was there. Chao2 Chao2 remembered once she was hanging around with her friends beyond the high jump set-up and he totally lost his concentration! Love is so strange. She only spoke to him for countable times yet he likes her ! At the moment Chao Chao finds encouragement in her spoken words.

*Reality*At only 1.70m, I am at huge disadvantage competing in high jump. But I ain't stopping. Others may beat me and become cocky, but my willpower is unsurpassable. Secondary school track has really shaped me. My training and seniors brought other sch's outstanding trackers into my life. I know they are the top grade of their league. I think that's what challenge me in track. Not to beat people in my school but those from other JCs.

Yeah yesterday I did weights in the gym. I did some sort of split boundings with a bar and weights on my shoulders. I couldn't placed the cushion piece properly and went on doing the boundings and my shoulder-neck is muscle-sore now...

Chao took a bus to West Coast RC this afternoon and alighted 1 stop before the actual destination and he hurried his steps through the HDB void decks and suffered the blast of drizzling rain. Tau Pok called me for the game but there were so many friends there! First from Tanglin there was Tau Pok, Jeric, Guo Lun, Wei Wen, Benson, Gary and YongZen(in one far table). Then there was Edmund and his friend who's from JJ too. It was like a big party of friends ! Also on the way to RC I was trailing behind Mayleng, Peiwoon and Lynette. N0thing beats gathering with old friends... There's a closeness between me and them that cannot be replaced. True, folks? Benson was the pro among us with his mighty private cue stick. He's ridiculously accurate although I managed to bring my balls down to 2(excluding 8-ball) in a 1v1 game with him. He's quite a good guy. How come I didn't get to socialise with him in all my 4 years in TSS??? Zhao Qing the killer didn't go...lucky me...or else my feet will get bombarded by his laser-guided zooming white ball again lMa()

Thanks Kaini ! U msged me when I was typing this. I can go back and train with my juniors at Tanglin tml which means I'm not going JJ for those bored-to-death talks. The long talks in the hall are No. 1 in my most-hateful list for JJ.
