Yikes water flies attack ! So many gathering at the ceiling lamp in the very room i'm using the computer ! Occasionally one will fly down and irritate me! These flies only come when the neighbourhood atmosphere is damp and their presence in your house means a big rain is imminent. This reasoning is always true in the sub-urban town where i stay in M'sia.

School today was a fair experience that felt like any other days. The most tiring thing was not the lectures ! but the 5km road run outside the school. I wonder when will my stamina improve significantly...I slowed down to a walk even before reaching the back of Hong Kah Sec...but I continued on ! Jog, run, walk. I couldn't stop for long before chin hong spurred me on while Zul slowed down for the lousy me to catch up with them. It's the longest run I've ever did, because this 32min run is longer than what i spent during x-country runs during my time in sec sch. Chin Hong suggested we run a 5km every week and I thought it would be a good idea since the NAPFA test is drawing nearer although I'm not sure exactly when is it. Faster than 12.00 min will be my target since the fastest I've got in my life is 12.31 larh..haha..SHHHhhh. don't tell anyone i'm from track and field k? OppS.
So shag now that my mind is only telling me "go to sleep man !"
Both calves so tight that I'm afraid cramps will find their way to my legs.
This friday I'm not ready to jump yet, mainly because my shins aren't well conditioned yet.

New song on the board ! This song is just so different from others. The tunes just twist and turn but it still come out smoothly.

homework, portfolio tasks, project work !
It's too much !
I need a 48-hour day !

Apple/Creative news update:

Creative has statistically declared it cannot beat apple in its mp3 players. Sim Wong Foo acknowleged the stiff competition as his company's net profit plunges 72%. He said that his mp3 players are only fit to fight with contenders like iRiver for 2nd place in the mp3 market.
In my own opinion, Creative only creates mp3 players because they saw it as a lucrative product to sell for quick money. Apple had a few years lead and the americans make iPod to satisfy consumers' needs and wishes. That's the reason why poor people like me buy iPod despite its overpriced tag as compared to other mp3 players available.

Friday is here and my flu is still around. This sickness came at the wrong time because I'm losing ground on my school work. I went to maths tutorial twice without doing any work and I hate that same atmosphere I had in pri sch. Nv do work, scared teacher find out and reprimand. This weekend will be damn crucial for me in completing all my work. got chinese essay, PI, maths, physics, chemistry tutorial. When I get sick, everything stops-can't do homework, can't go for track and field...blah!
I wonder how the track trials went. JJ guys are really not putting their talents to good use. They are out there. They can run but just don't have the interest. What's with that? I've realised that good track team <=>good JC. But it's more of the other way round most of the time.
Jian Chao, just let time scourge out the best athletes in JJC. If they want, they'll come.


I saw a flower this morning, and I thought it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen until I gazed upon you*.

Damn it, it's the second day and my flu isn't getting any better...
It must be that I altered my sleeping period drastically on Tuesday when I waited till 2am to watch Friends. I'll bring my training stuffs to sch tmr and if I am still not feeling well, then I'll forget the idea of going to the 100m tracknfield trials. I can run a 13sec flat but I just want to devote all my time to high jump.
National Schs Championships ticking ever so close and the Q. mark is 1.60m ! That's what I can jump over now at best. Let's get over 1.65m before the meet !

Wednesday, April 20

Tomorrow is Thursday ! The first short school day of the week and also one of the only chances I can see the smiley gal ! Ahem. Don't get the wrong idea. Anyway I think only the smiley gal knows she's the one i'm talking about.
PC from 9-10am. After I'll either do interval training or drills.
I want to buy the Nike Jumps dry-fit shirt. It's damn cool. Mich Sng was wearing it and another indian ACJC long jumper had that same shirt. It's total coolness.

sh!t i suddenly forgot what to add..
ahh ! yes the moon !
Just for one episode of Friends IX, i stayed up at night till 2am to catch it. Meanwhile when I was waiting for 2am to arrive, I scanned the surface of the moon with my telescope. It has been quite some weeks since I last aimed my telescope at the moon. Luckily the wind blew the clouds in the right direction and opened a clear sky ;0)

Friends: The One With The Male Nanny
Ross and Rachel was interviewing nannies and this neat guy came to register and got picked by Rachel under the disapproval of Ross. Sally the male nanny was so good in taking care of babies that it irritates Ross who dismissed him as being too sensitive.

I'm just too resourceful when it comes to high jump videos. A total of 70+ videos and counting ! There's simply too much to download !

I would say to her*, "If I could rearrange the alphabets, I will put U and I together."

"Hey, how yer doin' ?" Remember this line? Probably Junwei has something in mind when he sees that. Yes ! Joey Tribbiani is back ! Joey is premiering this thursday at 9pm ! It's a spinoff from Friends the american sitcom that lasted a whopping 10 years from 1994 to 2004. Joey the show is more modern but you won't miss out on Matt Leblanc's wonderful jokes that'll tickle your bones all night. I have watched 20 episodes of Joey already but I'm hungry for more Joey fun !
So just go try watching it. You'll probably be glued to the tv like I once did when I started to like catching every Friends show. If only the characters in Friends won't grow old, then I'll find joy and laughter for years and years by watching their show. I was so touched by the very final episode of Friends which saw the characters going separate ways in the show. Channel five was heavily advertising that last episode and I remember there's one commercial which showed the 6 friends hugging together and Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved" was featured. At one point channel five was giving away tickets to friend's final episode screening and crazy fan me wanted to go so badly but it's for ppl above 18yo :(
One day I'm going to buy season 7 and 8 from the music store in JP and most likely hunt down the rest of the Friends seasons when I have more money. I have seasons 1-7 burned on CDs but I'm going to buy the whole original set of Friends.
For now, I have a good reason to stay awake every night.

Monday- 2am- Friends IX
Tuesday- 2am- Friends IX
Wednesday- 2am- Friends IX
Thursday- 9pm- Joey (Premiere)
Friday
- 8.30pm Smallville IV
- 10pm Survivor X
- 2.15am Friends IX

It was the last day of the Natl Jr. Championships and also a fruitful experience for me in my high jump debut. First I learned what will roughly happen during the competition, those procedures and then I got to know three other jumpers ! One from CJC and two other from ACJC. Till today I still won't say ACJC guys are guai lan ppl, because every one I've seen have good attitude.
Anyway I came in sixth. But in other words though, I'm the lousiest jumper haha... Yep. Only six of us went for the event early in the morning.
It was really an eye-opener for me because I had the chance to witness the "famous" Mike Loh attempt 2.02m though having three futile tries. The way he participated in e competition is damn damn damn dao. Q mark was 1.50m and he passed/skipped every height till 1.89m before clearing it on 2nd attempt. Next he requested for 2.02m and then it's over. I want to be like that ex-Rafflesian ! I cleared 1.50 and 1.55 on first attempt and failed both chances on 1.60m. The curve portion of my run-up was on a damp ground which didn't really gave me the courage to accelerate towards the bar.

I will practise my double arm swing in future trainings and in the meantime try to achieve better results with my old technique.



Strictly speaking, I'm the only JJCian to make it into the final 8 ! CHin hong couldn't qualify and Darren was 10th. Hehe...I know my placing isn't rightfully top 8, but just to make myself happy marh.. haha... I think my biggest disadvantage is not having an actual coach. I'll try seeking WINGS club and SWIFT club out for trainings if they accept me but chances are low.
And the SG Sports Sch secured a top 3 placing in nearly every event they took part in. They're supposed to be the best, so nothing surprising to mention about.
If there is one thing Gombak Stadium lacks, that is water cooler. The nearest vending machine is situated in the mrt station and I was forced to drink from the toilet's basin tap.

My eyes were on Michelle Sng almost all the time this afternoon because she pretty chio and has sexy long legs. Plus, she's a legendary high jumper in sg. She is on her way to breaking the singapore national women's high jump record. Along with her who came to the meet was Poh Seng Song whom Singapore credited him for running past the finishing line to win the 4x100m bronze placing in the last SEA games.

hAI! just 5hours have passed since my last entry and I thought I missed out something real important.

It's about yesterday afternoon where I went to turf city to support our jj x-country runners in their biggest event- national schs x-country
I had quite high hopes for the boys because their 5km timings are quite competitive but in the end only wilson came in 19 followed closely behind by other teammates. Darren the newcomer in the jj team came in last but i believe in his potential. he's serious and damn muscular la.. reminds me of a tanglin tracker's build.
Valerie gave me and chin hong her digi cam so that we can take photos of e runners when they are finishing. The most funny thing is that I only captured 5 out of the 6 guys. Then I kept thinking until I asked chin hong who I missed out... Wilson, Sophea, Soch Chea, Kenny, Darren.
OH Akrum ! he came in third just ahead of soch chea as i recalled..that's why I couldn't shoot fast enuff =X
There was 2 hua yi gals i was looking out for during the event because they were featured in the newspaper and have unrivalled timings of 16mins+ And thanks to my luck i saw one of them crossing the finish point. I bet'cha are the treasure of that neighbourhood sch...

After everything was over we walked so far out of turf city and waited in eternity for 154 to get to clementi central. We were told Mr Ang will give us all a treat *yum-yum* No one except me knows how to get to the s-11 food court situated deep inside the area. More than half the track team was following me and I was so stressed when we walked deeper and closer to the intended dining venue. Imagine what will they'll do to me if I led them to the wrong place. Some other JJ ppl were joining us and a spotted 2 ACJC and one RJC gal dining with us too. But nonetheless Mr Ang paid for everything on the 3 tables occupied by nearly 30 of us. Now this is what I call a good character to treat people not even related to us..
waw ! skool rox today !

'cause I went for track meeting after morning assembly which turned out to be a double-birthday celebration for 2 of my seniors. Savoured a slice of chocolate cake and no...yuko don't drool now k? haha..the seniors are so active and fun ! It's so fun being with them... but quite a no. of them not running for e team anymore because they opted to study.

'cause my c maths is finally catching up with what e teacher is teaching and I'll try not to let go of this study momentum

'cause stanley, ce rong, eddy and OMG yuko have chosen the same pc time slot as mine !

'cause my teacher for the last lesson let us off half an hour earlier at 1.00pm. She gave so much privileges to my class in the 1st 3 mths and now lor :)
