Do you know how exhausted I was after this morning's training? I climbed up the stairs to the jjc grandstand from the pe porch and I was panting like there's no tomorrow.
If I half-squat now I can feel my thigh muscles calling for a break. It feels like being trained under Mr Tham in 200m intervals... After strolling a few steps I have to stop and take a breather. My short sprints are poor...need to run more and more to drill myself ! YAH!
Mingzhao going for Swift U-17 high jump tmr at toa payoh...I'm not going to waste my time there...can't win anything there and i have to take like 20 over mrt stops to reach lol...I was told by the swift club's secretary to call him/her again to see if i can join the club and train my high jump ! L0oking forward to it hehe...
Just the right time to sleep now! buai bye!

my web building skill has gone up a level after grace taught me how to host songs for my blog !!
Thanks Grace!
Actually if you ask me to identify grace out of all the track gals, i can't hehe...
I was supposed to train this afternoon to make up for yesterday's, but I caught a bad running nose at around noon. Struggling with the flu to understand the angelfire interface, I turned in at 3pm then woke up at 6+.
See, that's how I waste every single day in June =X

Dumb question
If boy A ran for 5mins in the rain and boy B walked in the same rain for 5mins, who will get drenched with more rainwater or will both get equal amount of water?

I'm thinking of creating a new blogsite specially for my competition results and afterthoughts for each particular competition.
If at any one point I am confident of winning any particular competition, I'll definitely bring my cam down and take some memorable pics, then paste it in my blog !
That may take a long time to materialise though..I will wait.

Results for the 2nd high jump competition of my career.

I was 6th during the National Junior Championships with a height of 1.55m. I wasn't pleased with that at all. National sch championship...at least a 1.65m maybe?

After all that stuff mingzhao said, I'm starting to believe I can get a decent spot in high jump at the inter school national championships this coming july. Come on, I can beat those hwa chong guys in this. My passion brings me the hope I need to clear my own height 1.70m. I've been watching staffan's sequenced videos and I discovered many secrets about his true technique, my technique.

Watch your back hcjc jumpers, look who's competing. Dark horse Jianchao is here to win the event from u dominators ! :) Who can beat me, for I am a follower of the swedish technique. Hehehe...Swedish high jumpers all have a common aspect in their technique that is different from jumpers of the rest of the world. Swedish Vikings rule them all !

Commemorating my completion of FFX-international ! I'd thank Rachel first definitely :) Some fans really cry when they see the ending of any of the Final Fantasy series. I was so touched by the ending of FFVIII, FFXI, and this time, FFX. The cut-scenes are always CG(computer graphics) that is as similar to real-life motion pictures as you can imagine.

[FMV: Yuna continues the sending, on the airship. In the background, the Aeons are floating around, and Sin falls down, exploding in a MASSIVE blanket of yellowish energy that spans a huge distance. The Airship floats above the cloud of yellow. We see the Aeons, floating around, get sent. Sin's fin explodes in a huge burst of energy as well. On Mount Gagazet, the fayths turns to stone, and the pillar of blue energy turns into a ball of water, then vanishes into many water bubbles. In the bubbles, we see images of the people of the dreamworld; Tidus is one of them. Back on the airship, Tidus looks at himself, as he begins to fade. Yuna shakes her head]

Yuna
"No."

Tidus
"Yuna, I have to go."
"I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand."
"Goodbye!"

Wakka
"Hey!"

Rikku
"We're gonna see you again...?"

Kimahri
"Yuna!"

[Yuna runs to Tidus and passes through him. Everyone gasps. He looks at his hands; pyreflies fly up from his body. Yuna, lying down, watches a pyrefly fly up in front of her face. They go into the air. Yuna stands up; their backs are facing each other]


Yuna
"I love you."

[Tidus turns and faces her back, a sad look on his face. Yuna faces forward solemnly. He walks up to her from behind and wraps his partially-fading arms around her. He fades through her body, walking forward. We see a final shot of the group; Kimahri and Lulu are showing little to no emotion, though Lulu does do a small wave. Yuna's still staring forward. Rikku is jumping and waving. Wakka looks sad and dejected, almost like he said/did something wrong. Tidus, burying his anguish, turns around and sprints to the edge of the airship, and jumps off. He floats down through the clouds, and vanishes...we see Braska, Auron, and Jecht. Jecht sticks out his hand; Tidus slaps it]

[Scene change; on a dock in Luca (presumably) looking out to sea. Yuna whistles. She breathes, and whistles again. Lulu walks up the dock]

Remember the boys who got lost in Mount Fraser, Malaysia recently? The following is an excerpt from the article.

"I kept telling the two small ones, do you want to live or die, whenever they were too afraid to walk to a river or when they started crying," he told The Straits Times from his hospital bed in Raub, where the boys were warded for observation.

Raub is sort of my hometown and also where my grandparent's house is situated in. Over 400km from Singapore, that's where I spent my first few years of life there. I learned how to walk there too! The Raub hospital is roughly 2km from my house. Wow thinking about this year's CNY, the fireworks in the town were awesome. There's fireworks of difference scale... every night some rich family will bring some up into the dark sky :)

Another even more recent newspaper article.

When he began his studies at Tanglin Secondary, he was 1.5m tall, and weighed close to 60kg. That qualified the chubby introvert for the TAF club.

The boy who belonged to the Chinese Chess Club while in Tanglin Secondary moved on to the Outdoor Activities Club in Jurong Junior College in 1998.

Hey! I was enrolled in the 2 schs he went! Mr Teo Yen Kai was one of the NUS team who attempted to scale Mount Everest. And he did it! From overweighting in school to conquering Mount Everest, that's a big achievement I supposed.

More significantly, these two articles tugged my heartstrings as both had something related to me.

I had PW meeting in JP Mac... It was a energy-drainer. There were so many aspects to consider that my concentration was hanging on the edge. Our project is very technical in the proposal. All the measurements and calculations must be realistic and acceptable...I guessed we couldn't put ourselves to handling up a poor piece of work to Ms Lang's table.

The FFX-2 game. So girlish and messy. The battle mode interface is hastened up so much. The dress sphere system is so complicated. But the area of the game remained largely unchanged. Most of the locations are still the same as in FFX. Tonight shall play some more if I can go through 10 qns from physics tut. 6

I woke up from a warm sleep,

only to discover that I just gone through a bad dream.

Warm environment induces nightmarish sleep, babies suffer that most.

The dream was in bits and fragments, or as much I remembered.

First it involved me stealing 2 Nokia handphones of diff. model from 2 people I know.

I hid A's handphone in a place after stealing.

When I went back to recover the phone, a funeral was going on nearby.

It was A's funeral.

The next thing I knew was some electromagnetic sort of pulses affected me.

And I came back to reality, or rather, back to my warm and stuffy room.

I still think about the competition yesterday.

I remembered vividly what Ronnie Cai did during the competition.

Almost every movement.

After I was striked off the competition, I put on my JJ track n field shirt.

Ronnie also put on his NYP shirt, commenting, "I'm proud of my school" and giving a smile.

I'm super motivated by him to jump higher now.

His catchphrase has infected me. "I can do it"
