So glad. Today I learnt a new way of jumping. The super spinner for high jump. I'm gonna practise till I get it right. Apparently, my teacher, kenneth chai, is super good at these kind of weird techniques. Now, my shoulder hurts from jumping cos I whacked the bar. But still, its so cool.

Whoopee. I got first for long jump. The bad thing is I didnt break my personal best. Perhaps I was too tired already after running around the whole day. The next bad thing is that my points gained for the house will be given to those who dont turn up. To cover back for the deficit they've caused. Its just like in a soccer game. The ball is yours but then your opponent comes over and tackle you. He gets the ball but you're sitting on the bench, watching this whole process. You know it was very obvious that your teammate could have very well protected the ball effortlessly. This was how I felt when I marked attendance. Its worse than proposing to a guy. Maybe. Well, I guess what he said was correct, don't come for the events. Because it is too painful to watch. In front of your eyes, you see points being deducted just because they were irresponsible. And when you practise like mad, run with all your guts, deep down, I'm just covering it up for someone else. I guess I'm about the few that feel this way in my house. Not that I'm saying others dont, maybe not as much as me. Seriously, for those that dont turn up without a valid reason, I would like to show them the faces of those runners, who vomit their lungs out, just to participate and GET ONE POINT. Yes, I agree with him that this is a painful to watch. I feel it so much because I can see the effort put in by them. All runners for 200m j2 boys got LAST. So? Does that mean that they're not as good as those that got first? I really think it takes a lot of guts to sign up for an event, knowing that you will jolly well lose and yet still put in your best. I really admire these people. I mean its so easy to sign up for a race, knowing that you'll win or at least get top 8. Is it easy to go and lose? I guess I'm doing this by signing up for high jump. I finally understand how it feels. I'm so proud of the J1's. They end up participating, except this mad runner, joshua who can really WIN! Thank you to all participating. I really appreciate it, although you'll never read this. From the bottom of my heart, Sagi wouldn't be this far if it wasn't for you.

Everyday, I'm like super tired. But then seeing how...
Ming Han ran for 1500m till he strained both muscle
Heng Qian coming all the way down from suntec to run in her event
Wai Ching, as nerdy as he looks, getting first for 1500m
Amaluna, making me laugh
Hidayatul willing joined my reserve killer team to sub all substitutes
Regine, Serene, Ting Shu, Valerie staying throughout the whole day helping me
Ryan and Vithya, doing my cheerleading
Starsky and Geraldine, calling up all j1's to inform them to run
Winston, for putting up with my nonsensical attitude of ups and downs
2 house teachers encouragement
and more...

MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT.
