Today damn hectic lar...
Morning rushed to school for training because I know I have lil time to spend since I'm supposed to meet my PW group at 11 in jurong east.
Jogged 4 rounds as I promised myself because I was about to discontinue after 2nd lap as my flu side effect set in. Every morning training it's like this for me-initial breathing difficulty then the passages start to open after warm-up laps. Then far far away walking to the pe porch from the gate was a gal who i figured out as yuko...haaha..I was abit surprised because I've never seen her coming for practice so early although I'm always earlier for my training :) My shins got damn worked up liao at this moment but I still carried on with the workout i had in mind with the pain. In fact this whole training was done in frenzy slack mode... only did 3x30m sprints and 3x30 fall starts. Then I couldn't resist the temptation of doing some basic jumps on the mattress behind LT 5. 3 pe teachers including the new one walked past and I was waiting for them to comment on what i was doing...but they just walked past.
Wee kiat and I did cool down laps but before we finished the first lap we both agreed to end everything haha...we're both drained out...in different ways. Actually I wanted to say goodbye to yuko but i guessed better not 'cause she's listening so attentively to her senior for pattern guidance.

Went home, had a quick bath and packed my ass and got outta of e house soon after. By now it's 11am sharp. I'm getting tired writing every event in my day now too...
Let's just say I saw yuko going up e escalator with azman and gang in the library with half the tkd club ppl. Then saw yijia in entertainment center. Next saw yuko going down e escalator when i came back to e book haven. I call it book haven for its generous collection of national geographic mags. I picked 2 of them, one runners' world and one with a cover page abt olympics history. 2 guy friends n I had to wait blankly for 6pm for e "donor" so that we can print from the microfilms. The lady at the printing area kept saying must wait till 6pm for "donor" or so the word sounded from her mouth. We're so baffled because it makes no sense as what she means. I nearly left the library without my laptop hehee...my sis will peel my skin off if i lost the computer that stores all her university work. I left it at e printing area =X

mz said his coach got him high jump spikes in just 8days from ordering date till receival date. How come mine is slower? I need to familarise my feet with the shoes before the competition. It's a whopping S$136 including shipping costs so let's just hope nothing goes wrong.
My middle-dist spikes is almost falling apart le... AlL thanks to my super sprinting and jumping hah..
mz and i got e same high jump spikes lor...we're gonna fight alongside in the nationals man!

If there's a will, there's a way. I never gave up on trying to get the music on the kingdom of heaven's theatrical trailer and I finally ripped the music off the trailer using a trial video to audio converter program. Sounds too technical? In layman's term I simply spent the whole sunday trying to extract a music sheet from a trailer =)

Sophea smsed me later at night about tomorrow's training at 8am but I have to report for pre-U seminar by 9.30 in the school concourse!
I still went enthusiastically for the training and only to be rewarded with super tight calves and ankles after the warm-up rounds...
Basically I wasted the whole training because my mild flu rendered me unable to continue with long recovery run.
Then chiong through 3 sets of 20 pumpings, 20 squats, 20 sit-ups, 10 calve raises, 10 back stretches.
9.10am
Ran half a round for cool down on the track before dying down to a stop.
9.15am
Stretching exercises
9.20am
Bathed without soap and some more got my left sock and shoe totally soaked. Still wore them all day till 6pm. Guess what happened to my left foot sole? It creased like an 80 year old grandma's face. I had to limp my way in the house and finally whipped out a hair-blower to drive off the water.

Hall 12 usher at the pre-u seminar isn't that fun with all the sweat I churned out. All I get at the end of the day is one cheapskate cup of coffee. I'm not going on friday again la...waste my prreeeciouusss time. I've got a competition to prepare yer know? I know I'm gonna eat the dust in the open event but I still have to fight all the way with pride since i'm representing JJC!

Did you know I almost missed the entire blockbuster Seabiscuit on starhub preview channel? Heng i caught the last 50 mins of it. It's a good movie but I'm not sure why i'm saying this because i've not watched it before haha....Maybe I like movies involving triumphs of people or characters, which in this case is the legendary american horse Seabiscuit.

Gombak Stadium 6.30pm my field event. anyone wants to come see how i bite the dust?

"Home"
Michael Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home


Hmmm lovely tune and lyrics

my god..yuko and her bro..it's too much of a coincidence that they will appear on e psc nite show tomorrow in different sections of it. If her bro's dance team wins e round and yuko walks away with pockets full of cash, that'll be the best !

Today's track training was bad before, during and after the session.
Before- Had to rush finish an gp essay outline in e library before 3pm so that I'll have enough time to train my jumps.

During- Feet are like glued to the ground. Can't elevate myself. I think my run-up towards the bar isn't bouncy enough to wake up the leg muscles for the jump.

After- There is this furniture store behind LT5 which stores my precious high jump equipment and it is used to keep the lion dance club's drums and whatnot. The lion dance ppl were practising when i was going to get the mattresses and stuff. I knew they took the one and only key guarded by the p.e department so I just went from e other door they opened. I loaned kok sin and andy from a Odac senior who was making them do monkey bar pull ups. The 3 of us carried e first matt. and xiang jing mobilised the entire odac j1 to help carry e 2nd one haha...Of course only e guys helped n gals watched... eh? Why i wrote so much?
Okay, so when i finally gave up e session because my shin splints came back unfortunately, the lion dance club have went home with e key ! Then Mr Ang asked me to find them, but c'mon la..how am i going to do tt? So I couldn't help but abandoned e mattresses and equipment outside the storeroom. No one will steal those home and make them into beds la...anyway i'll still need it anytime soon during e holidays and those pe teachers won't come to school as much as i know...

PHew...i wrote so much about my bad term-ending school day. I attained 17.5/25 for my maths lecture test worh... miss lang said my class highest is only around 18 :)
I saw tee yien's 2.5 marks on his paper...aiyo...i just hope all my friends don't get upset getting failing marks because your performance for a test may not show the best of you. Just make sure you know you can do it, and do it well the next time.

Then PW tut. with beloved miss lang. I like my pw group ! We know when to make fun and when to chiong the paperwork. Haha today lynn crapped too much and john glorified that with a phrase, "In Lynn's world it is always OOPS" OOPS stands for "out of point sia". Yeah I remember my geo teacher in sec school who used to stamp a "OOP" chop on our work when the point we give is irrelevent to answering the qn. Then everyone will go, "wah lao, tio so much OOP" when they got back their test papers.

PHy tutorial was pure slack lesson. I paid a conservative amt of attention to mr oh because the qns he went through were of minor concern to me. I just crapped with nicholas by my side and vooooom! it was nearing e end of the lesson liao ! Most importantly the $1.30 cadbury choc saved my stomach from hunger.

And if a shark came up and tried to bite you
You could say 'I'm chocolate - I invite you'
Wouldn't it be nice?

Btw there's another cadbury commercial that is not shown on sg tv. It's related to soccer so let's hope it "swims like that shark" to singapore soon haha...

Yikes it's 18 past 12am already before i realised it!

Hoh0hor... yuko if u dun come tmr i'll hit on ur weakness e next time i see u hehe :) I'm gonna treat you personal best heights tomorrow, i.e i'm going to set e bar at my best record.

Possess me, Staffan Strand !
Long live the Staffan technique.
I bet he's proud of himself cuz someone so far across the world is learning to use his technique !
Opps I'm entering the "crapping" level.
Btw my thighs are getting bigger and all high jump olympianShall stop cause' I came back to the comp just to unplug my iPod but look wad i'm doin' now? Nah..you guys won't blame me right?
The whole study system is out of order... this whole blog is out of order ! *Learned this from Joey in Friends ;=)

I'm such a bad guy. My sec sch classmate asked me to go out with a teacher who used to teach me, yeah for some of u who know it's Mr Ivan Lee. My reason for not going out was the load of work I had to complete. But now Vesak Day's 4pm already and I haven't sit on my study chair for a moment. Later got to start the chinese essay ! The amount of work I complete is inversely proportional to the time I can train my high jump. More work done on time means I need not spend time catching up with work and thus allowing time for cca. I'm born in December and that's prolly why I like to do things during the eleventh hour even though I have planned well ahead of schedule.

erm I think I have to go down to ntu with my class on friday for the pre-U seminar briefing. I'm a Hall 12 usher ! So I'm not sure I can have my training session on friday :( So sok chin your presence may not be needed at e track afterall ..sigh... we shall see how this week will progress.
My shins are getting stronger! urgh! Now just need to inject some strengthening elements into my training workout and muhahaaaa...you'll see a superman jumping !
For people who like classical kind of music and majestic trailers, visit the url link below. I just can't find the music played in this trailer !

Again let me refresh the milestone i set for my cca performance this year.
To achieve a personal best height of 1.70m in my pet event, high jump.
I really need to catch up with high jumpers in the rest of the world. Those who joined the IAAF World Youth Championships at age 16 or 17 can hit extreme heights like 2.25m ! Fighting with S'pore jumpers isn't that challenging. Fight with the best and I'll bypass the local ones easily.

Why so many people esp. gals start saying I act dao? I'm just not responding to greetings because I am thinking of much more impt. things.I'll try to be more active in future.
Sigh... I couldn't see her* during her PC timeslot. She* didn't go? Instead I had a severe calve muscle cramp when I was playing vball with my classmates after my afternoon training... The cramp was so terrible that all the stretches I did couldn't ease the sharp pain. But as long my shins don't hurt, nothing's a big problem.

PHy test 26/36 ! That's not quite my dream score.

woah they've reorganised the neopets stockmarket a little..If you think neopets is a child's game, think again.Can you make your account worth 1 million in 3 months easily? I've done it hehe...I don't have much games in all my computers at home because I've played enough to realise that playing too much is all bad and nothing good. I might as well play with maths formulae and physics ideas. Nah...I'm not a fully-fledged nerd either. I indulge in playing LOTR: The Return of The King on my ps2. This game is a wonderful piece of work that encompasses actual movie cut-scenes to reward the played-like-hell-to-win player. There's also exclusive interviews of Sam and Gandalf as well as concept art of the movie. Original soundtracks are also played at the right time during the game.

Well life in JJ has gotten really dry for me...Too much important work lining one after another for me to complete and the training jump results aren't encouraging as well. Last friday I had only cleared 1.50 for a couple of times and that's it. I've decided to re-condition myself again since the shins aren't showing any signs of recovery/relief. I will probably train on thursday instead of wednesday since my training programme from now on will be a significant steer from other track members'. And one more reason... "ahem" got PC on thursday at 4.30pm.Enough said. You get the point.

If there is one thing I find unfairness relating to my studies, it will be the marking scheme of chemistry. I did a assignment test and there were those titration qns and results. I find it weird that if you had a mistake from the start but left the final answer in correct sig. fig./deci. pl, you get the mark because of a rule called "error carried forward" ! This is so ridiculous la ! There were 5 qns and I scored 3 correctly and so was my friend except he got the last 2 qns correct as well even though it was wrong??But he got 8/10 but I had 5/10 !?!?! Something is so wrong man...This is not SPA, where the error comes from your own experiment.
Damn it... 1st chem assignment test 7/10, then 5/10. The third one I don't know what to expect under such stupid marking scheme ! I'm going to climb up the academic rankings in JJ silently and wow others ! If trackers from RJC and ACJC can juggle both track and studies, why can't I? Being in JJ will not be the lame excuse i'll give! I'm so worked up right now ! arghh...!

16-21 March
Seminar on High Jump
Development - Practical
& Workshop

I missed it!!!!! Kao... I wonder how helpful that would've been to me !
But I'm aware of my next competition in June. I didn't know I still have a chance to participate in High Jump U-17 category...I'll try my luck...again.

Friends... I need friends. Both the real-life friends around me and the tv sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S ! I'm buying the season 7 this weekend. Yeah..going to reward myself with that for doing so much homework.

It was JJC Talentime yesterday! The perfomers were so damn great. Lynn assigned me as the photographer and I took no less than a hundred pics hehe... She had to do away with the old pics in her cam to free up memory space for the final shots with our civics and maths tutor, Ms Lang. She was the reason my class(almost all 25 of us) went for the show.

I rushed for track training, attended Talentime at 7pm, had "dinper"(dinner cum supper lol) at 10 and missed Smallville !!! ArgH. I saw the commercials abt this coming episode in which a teenage guy can run faster than Clark Kent. Last night was fun...haha y winked and smiled at me and i returned her. Her smile's so kawaii !

Track training was a blast ! 4x200m each under 33secs. 100m dash after all the runs at 13.40s. I ran my lungs out and the giddiness set in for a while. Now it's the sleepiness that is bothering me ! *Yawns* Today woke up at 4am to do some work and attended school from 7.30am to 6pm. Physical Conditioning(PC) tomorrow? Thinking of that makes me more tired.

I'm looking forward to this friday's jump session that my head is already on friday while the rest of my body is stuck on the days before friday..
My head too eager to welcome friday...
Every night i'm like thinking of stefan's jump technique. then my mind goes off track and again ponders on when i'm going to greet yuk0 e first time. i kept sensing she knows which guy in jj is me 'cause she seemed to be giving me that uncertain look. maybe she does tt to all other guys i dunn0 haha... hope she don't see this hehe..

'cause it's easy, once you know how it's done...
you can't stop now it's already began.
The tunes of one particular song keep ringing in my ears.
Jerk It Out by The Caesars
It's so hip-hop that I listened to it 10 times a day and simply want to put my hands in the clouds and shake as if i'm in the iPod Shuffle commercial.
