My eldest sista made pasta for lunch today! It's marvelous with all those melting cheese and intriguing tomato pasta sauce on it. Halfway eating that, suddenly I kept thinking what happened during gp tut. yesterday.

We were having the SDU speed-dating activity and David was matched with me. Huiqin was with Shaun and the gentle Miss Tan asked Shaun what he has to say about his date. He started off by saying Huiqin was a very vocal person(she's a hardcore ogl, u see). Then Miss Tan urges Shaun to say something more... Shaun added, "She's a pleasant girl..." And the whole class goes "ohhhh 0000". Then the more hilarious thing happened. Shaun flunked his hands up a little and commented with a joking expression in his face, " Aaalright I lied. hah.." The whole class burst into maniac laughter. I just love my class even more!

The NUS dance team @ the psc show rox !!! They've got the speed, the flow and whole lot of energy. I'll bet 10 on them winning the finals tonight. OH no..they got 3rd..

So much maths due next week. I don't want to disappoint Miss Lang. And Ms Zhang in my chemistry too!

I went through so bad things this week. So many unlucky events...Vexing man. Training weren't as good as I thought. What's the matter with me?
Let's talk abt my new drink. U pour hot water into cup with lipton teabag and add some milk. Walaaa! It becomes my fave drink. Mz asking me to go cck stadium to train jumps with him...k lor i'll just go see what I can learn from him..

It was a ridiculous day at first but Miss Eleen Tan came in for our last lesson and saved the day with her interesting globalisation game. I admit I was red-eyed when another team won us by a significant margin but the feeling is real bad... Chem SPA in the first lesson was a display of my stupidity and nervousness that ruined it all. Wasn't it a leisure activity? I want Jacuzzi(Physics kind of SPA lol) next time man..SPA not shuang one..

Tomorrow is thursday. I'm going to do jumps! On friday as well! Lately I've been discovering something real bad in me...I'm becoming a attention seeker! Every time during training, if there are gals around, I will want their eyes on me!...But I'm another kind of attention seeker. I only try to impress gals when I know I have something to flaunt, in this case my jumps... But this doesn't make me less guilty of being one, right?
This is also why sometimes I can't concentrate on my jumps. I keep thinking ppl are looking at me and I've got to do it right to win attention.
So tmr...I've just keep all eyes on the crossbar and think of what I should do to clear the advancing heights.


"Day by day he gazed upon her. Day by day he sighed with passion."

YESH...I managed to overcome my greatest phobia in high jump, that is doing standing high jump. It's sort of a standing backflip and clearing over a bar. This afternoon I successfully cleared 1.35m ! It's almost as high as my chest level but I remembered he told me not to think so much and just do the 2 movements to clear the bar. I failed so many times as I raised the bar by 5cm each time from 1.20m. But I wanted something out of this training. A breakthrough. At least this will keep me in high spirits for the rest of the week if it can't set my mentality right for the competition in exactly 2 weeks' time.

The next thing I want to accomplish is doing "Jian Dao Jiao" or known as scissors jump over 1.50m to renew my old personal best(pb) of 1.45m. My jump records are in the scroll word strip found on the horizontal column below(just above your Window Start button). I'm not trying to make my readers feel they're stupid but I'm just helpful hah...

And ermm...I've got a new GP tutor for the rest of the year! She's Miss Eleen Tan the new teacher posted to JJC. In my opinion, she can teach more effectively than Mr Carl Ng because she's got the gentle yet demanding image which I can accept very easily.

8.40pm. Not bathed yet. Bye.

Skipped track this morning's track to let my legs recover from

Argh flu! ARRGGGHHH! Makes me so weak now. I trained too much on wednesday. It felt so wrong during training these days...I'm out of energy even before finishing the drills. I guess I need some time to accustom to the new volume of training procedure given by him. He rawks man..Gonna print his pic out and place it right in front of my file to remind myself constantly that I can do what he can.

Ouchh! I knocked my hand against e corner edge of e table and it hurts so bad when I rub tt area i got hurt. It kinda swell up a bit too.
Bad day...so bad man...

Thanks Sharon for giving me a handshake to cheer me on for the nationals championships. I'll try my best! No promises on medal though.

www.jumpychao.blogspot.com is my new site! It's just a summary of all the track n field competitions I went so that I can track my progress in jumping.

So...the monday i've been waiting for finally came huh. The last time I had such a training was like in june 2004? But this was different. Totally awesome la...I can't put those feelings into words man..
Tomorrow there's 2 main things to do. First go watch the Asian TnF Championships, then I have to muster courage to call swift club to ask about training. But training @ gombak is good enough already...Let's see how things work out :)
Now i'm tipping the scales at 56kg n maybe 171cm? Must grow taller to balance the frame of an Asian high jumper!

"You don't throw a life away just because he is banged up a little", Tom Smith from the movie Seabiscuit.
I watched the movie 3 times on the SCV Preview Channel. It's not just about the American legend horse, it about second chances in life and the never-give-up spirit.

The Olympic motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius."
These three Latin words mean "Swifter, Higher, Stronger." Baron de Coubertin borrowed the motto from Father Henri Martin Dideon, the headmaster of Arcueil College in Paris. Father Dideon used the motto to describe the great achievements of the athletes at his school. Coubertin felt it could be used to describe the goals of great athletes all over the World.

Altius is what I must become.

"Pass The Flame" is the Olympic Torch Relay 2004 song.

IMO, boy A theoretically will receive the same amount of rainwater as boy B, because they are in the same rain for the same period of time. However practically when boy B runs, he will swing his arms and this creates a larger body surface in contact with the rain as compared to boy B. So I think boy A receives more rain than boy B.
Yuko what u think eh?
