This will be my last entry.
Common test in 2 weeks time.
I will continue after that.
Tagboard messaging for now then. Good luck in studying peeps.

Went back tanglin for 5 hours of chemistry mentoring work. It was rather pleasant this time because there wasn't much questions asked from the sec 4s. Did some inspection on their practical around noon. They were dissolving Mg metal strips into HCL and H2SO4 acid. The instructions were simple but a quarter of them made different silly calculation mistakes... so noob man... could've been more conscious. 1 saturday sepnt just like this... shall attempt chinese essay later... I can do it !

2nd session of the devastating training program. Nothing went wrong except chin hong came up to the empty grandstand to chat with me for a while. This time my hips had a different area in heavy fatigue. My lower leg still suffering from the injury inflicted by yuko's classmate tt day during e soccer game. Our legs just crashed into each other's and the pain is really starting to bother me... But I will persevere, for I can smell thy victory ahead. Jianchao is blasting off the ground again!

Fate.
I met my chemistry tutor 4 times in different places today although there's no tutorials or anything except chem lecture. She was also giggling hard when I told her that :-)
I still don't know how experienced she is in teaching chemistry but I can tell she is trying very hard to make us understand her lessons. How can I get a poor grade for the upcoming common test when she's tried her best for my class?

As Roman Emperor Hadrian said of Rome, 'Brick by brick, my citizens. Brick by brick.

Uh huh. You heard the lady. Die-hard fan keke... I'm grinning from ear to ear all night long man.. Take care of yourself too ya? I know it's wild fun to hang outside from night till dawn but it's also detrimental to health unless i'm invited haha....

No training tmr because there's a compulsory "Xiang Sheng" show in LT5. So train on thurs after yoga and saturday!
I must keep myself awake after 6pm if not no homework will be done...

!!! Private Lee is going down from the onslaught of Air Alert III in JJC !!!
The simple jumps were siong indeed... Is that how he is able to jump 2.0x metres?
My legs just went so jelly-like that jogging 400m for cool down feels like hell on my muscles around the knee area. But hey ! that's only the first jump-conditioning session. There's 15 more weeks ahead.
I will train, whether rain or shine,flood or drought ;)

Good job Tanglin Track team. My 2 training partners got bronzes while the lower sec gals grabbed 1 gold and 2 silvers ! That's a big achievement for an underdog neighbourhood school. Of course, without Mr Tham they wouldn't be in the prize stand.

I can see her, but just couldn't feel her. Separated by an imaginary glass, the feeling is bad. When she logs on to msn, I can't help but to retreat to "appear offline" mode, hoping that her nickname will stay online for as long without noticing me.

Pshhh...hope Nicholas isn't looking at my blog.
He said Yuko was quite pretty in primary school and I was taken back by his words loL...I don't think he meant any thing else by saying that huh...
I'm so bad hor... purposely write this out to attract yuko's attention lol...
K that'll keep her coming back for more juicy info...

Mentoring again on sat morning!
OH! I have to sleep early tonight to compensate for my early waking in the day(3.30am crawled out of bed to study physics). It was worth it.

This week was so busy! Had to do 2 make-up topical tests...Disappointing results i reckon. I really studied at the eleventh hour...So troubled now...There's a super big physics test coming tomorrow. I don't think my brain can eat 3 sets of physics chapters in one night.

Oh the other day:
I watched Cool Runnings, a movie about the first Jamaican bobsled team based on true history. As you know Jamaican is a country in Africa and there's no ice for bobsledding. But still, in the 1970s, the first bobsled team emerged and qualified for the Olympic Winter Games in Canada. My tears welled up in my eyes when in the end, the team had a record-breaking time but crashed through the course because the bobsled had a technical problem. Why? It was partly because theirs was a basic and rickety training bobsled. The Jamaican Olympic Committee did not sponsor the hopeful team a single cent and it was only made possible by full contribution of one of the bobsledders.
It is a very inspiring movie for lost and self-motivated athletes like me.
There are a few things I learned from this movie alone.
- Do you know how the movie portrayed the Jamaican bobsledders being looked down utterly by other contending bobsledders? I call it total humiliation but like my previous coach said abt a junior runner, you must make use of this energy(being humiliated/provoked/anger/despair) to convert into useful energy. That junior's father(i think) passed away before his race but he ran with overwhelming power to win eventually.
- If Jamaica can make it into the Winter Games, every country has an equal chance of participating in absurd sports events.
- Some athletes are never forgotten in history not because they won some huge events, but done a memorable/honourable act.
- Win in your country's,community's and your way. Don't follow others blindly.
The 4 Jamaicans' bobsled stopped short of the finishing line. They embraced each other, got up to their feet and carried the 600 pound bobsled to the end as claps from the overlooking audience by the side grew louder and louder. Ohh I just love the movie. Jamaicans, you have shown me what the true meaning of Olympics is all about.

That's it. Nationals over. Didn't even clear 1.60m. Like I said, I'm aiming for next year. I finally get to see Diwei, Bingyang and David Woon in person!

To end things up, I went to clementi central and ate rotiboy while strolling back to Tanglin sec to retrieve my O lvl cert. It's not too good leaving it there for so long... Quite some of my classmates' ones were still there. The gym wasn't open...The trackers probably all busy going to cck for competition. This is the second time I went to back to my secondary school in 3 days. Amazing !

My dream life.
Owning an extensive house set on a stretch of lush green patch of land. Every morning I will be greeted by the numerous mountains from a distance not far away. I revved up my red Ferrari and zip down the roads to the countryside.

In the winter, the mountains put on their snow as I cast the shadow of my minature plane over them.

Free
The dream within.

If you have anything to say, say it now. How sure are you that you can live another day to tell the tale?
I'm not going to leave this world without accomplishing my dreams.
I brought down the previous template because I feel that the theme is too significant for me. I guess this new one is here to stay, for long.
