Yesterday's track was tiring, but alright if you pushed yourself. The bad part is that Mr Tan called it 'light workout'. Is he bonkers? In what way is 4x200m, 2 sets, considered 'light training'? And... tmr, we're going to do what he calls 'heavy training', 'speed runs' and 600m time trials. I foresee doom approaching. Oh yeah, yday, we ran an extra half a round because the half we ran when ruixin fell wasn't counted. Poor ruixin. But she got to skip 2 runs. And in a way, i was glad of the break. But of course, i'm not glad she fell, though i think she was, if not for the embarrassment. Today... Woke up pretty fast today. I think my dad learnt a new way to wake me up which made me exceedingly annoyed. I must learn to be more careful. Gah. Its surprising how quickly my senses became alert once i realise my dad grabbed my hp. I snatched it back before he could do anything, but he refused to let go, so i just tugged it out of his grasp. And he had to tell my mum his new way of waking me up. And my mum had to jump to stupid conclusions, resulting in my mood for the rest of the day. I was kind of sleepy the whole oftoday. Fell asleep in Bea Tan's car without eating breakfast. Got to school, fell asleep until someone woke me up cos we had to take the pledge. Sat through lessons groggily, after lunch, finished the english work quickly and fell asleep while waiting for the teacher to start her lesson again. Wencen had to poke me to wake me up. Surprisingly, i didn't fall asleep during french. Got home from 3rd lang and fell asleep til dinner. I have concluded i cannot sleep at 1.
Argh! What's wrong with me today? I'm totally out of it la. Sigh... I guess i just don't take to certain things too well. But aeriously, i cannot take it la. I'm just... not that kind, and i hate to be thought of as one of those, since i never did think highly of that kind. Other stuff doesn't really help either. I mean... Rubbish! I'm getting sick and tired of the whole thing alr. And getting back certain marks during french today did wonders to help my mood. I'm seriously considering dropping 3rd lang, although i know i never will take the step to do it. Firstly cause i wanted to learn 3rd lang myself, secondly cause i just don't like quitting stuff halfway. Thirdly cause french is alright, but i need to mug for the exams in order to do reasonably well, which is sth i'm totally not doing now. Oh yeah. Just rmbed. I'm supposed to msg wencen. Right. Sigh... I need to put it out of my mind alr. But how??? I think its going to bother me until i get them to say otherwise. I just cannot bear to have people say... because i dislike...
Track today was terrible! It's only slightly more than a week to nationals. -hyperventilates- I know some people found it easy la okay? Lets just say i had a stomachache the entire time, and felt like throwing up before starting each 200m set. (infact, i did throw up after the 1st 200m run. thankfully, no one noticed.) You see, Abby msged me after recess today, (wait a minute, isn't my hp supposed to be off? Oh yeah, i checked it after school didn't i? -grins-) saying that there was a bus provided which came at 2.30, so we had to assemble at the foyer at 2.25. This gave me 25 extra mins, cos if not for the bus, we would usually have to leave at about 2.00 in order to make it in time. (Cos 156 takes a horrendously long time to come.) Since i skipped breakfast and recess, though i managed to eat my breakfast some other time, i decided to eat lunch. i ate lunch at about 2.10, finished lunch at about 2.15, and left school at about 2.30. Reached RJ at about 2.40? I really can't remember. Maybe 2.50. So we started track later than usual. By the end of warm ups i alr had a stomachache. Ble! Despite the initially cool weather, i still found it horrible. Of course, it became worse later in the afternoon, but that is irrelevant at this point in time. Oh did i mention we had to stretch on the track? Which is not nice cos your hands turn red and spotchey, cos of the track bits. When stretching i alr felt like vomitting, and i kindly told everybody! =P Anyway, i learnt a lesson. Never eat lunch, recess or breakfast. Just don't eat. It's probably better. I was so uncomfortable during track that my average timing dropped. Grrrr! And i didn't finish the whole workout. Sighhhh. Admittedly, the workout today was tougher than wednesday's or friday's training. to me. i don't know about the others. But still... I could have, and should have, finished the workout instead of doing 6/8, like i always do. I guess my willpower's still a little weak, but skipping the last one wasn't my fault. Jane and Xinqi told me not to run, in fact, Jane said it so loudly that afterwards, Abby wondered what happened and asked me why Jane didn't want me to run/seemed against me runnning. It was kind of sad. I wanted to finish the second set. It would have done lots for me cos i don't think i've finished a single set of 4 this June. Anyway, even though i was feeling weird and not performing up to my usual standard, Mr Tan didn't seem to notice, instead, he told me that for the 4x400, we'll be sticking to the same team, Ruixin, Xinqi, Chloe, me! I guess that kind of made the remainder of training better, but still... if Irmelia is faster than me, I think i would rather her run. She might make the difference between RG getting a 3rd or a 4th. I'm feeling less confident about my 400m already. Anyway, Mr Tan's decision, i'll just see how it goes la. It would be nice to run in the same relay as Xinqi, Chloe and Ruixin again, for old time's sake. Although it wasn't so long ago. Seems like a year though. Oh well... that's all i have to say for today i guess? Oh and that i intend to sleep early today. Prob by 10.30 or sth. There's only math hw today. Yay!
Madoc's Rune In this fateful hour I place all Heaven with its power And the sun with its brightness And the snow with its whiteness And the fire with all the strength it hath And the lightning with its rapid wrath And the wind with its swiftness along its path And the sea with its deepness And the rocks with its steepness And the earth with its starkness All this i place With God's Almighty help and grace Between myself and the powers of darkness...
"Pieces" I tried to be perfect But nothing was worth it I dont believe it makes me real I thought itd be easy But no one believes me I meant all the things I said
If you believe its in my soul Id say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That Im trying to let you know That Im better off on my own
This place is so empty My thoughts are so tempting I dont know how it got so bad Sometimes its so crazy That nothing can save me But its the only thing that I have
If you believe its in my soul Id say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That Im trying to let you know That Im better off on my own
I tried to be perfect It just wasnt worth it Nothing could ever be so wrong Its hard to believe me It never gets easy I guess I knew that all along
If you believe its in my soul Id say all the words that I know Just to see if it would show That Im trying to let you know That Im better off on my own
Its a nice song. But its kind of depressing. I don't know. Its just alright i guess. I like the mash "Boulevard of Broken Songs" by Greenday, Oasis and Travis too. But its weirdly depressing too. But i don't get depressed listening to it. So nvm.
Track training today was nice. It wasn't tiring. All we had to do was: warm up. 100m striding around the curves. (stride 100m, walk 100m.) After striding/walking 2 rounds, (which basically means we only strided 4 times) we walked around to the 200m starting line. There, it was more shady than any other part of the track, so we were happy to walk around there. We did light speed training. 3 times! Slack! Then, dear Mr Tan told us we had to run a 600m time trial. Like... thanks a lot! But the sprinters had to run first. And they had to do a 200m time trial. I infinitely prefer a 600m time trial cos its loads slower and you don't have to start fast. Xinqi flagged the 200m runners, i think there were five of them. It was over all too soon for us, though not for them. We didn't want to run 600m in the sweltering heat. The fastest was Jane, but then, she was the oldest there. 29.2_ i think. Even yunnie, who finished the latest, got a 30.something timing. Argh! The sprinters are zai! They were lucky there were 5 of them running. For us poor 600m time trial runners, there were but 3 of us. Xinqi, Ruixin, Me! Ruixin and I paced each other, and decided to tail xinqi for as long as we could. Which was about 100m. =) Then, we decided to try and let the distance between Xinqi and the two of us not increase by more than 3m per 100m. Did i mention she was alr about 3m ahead of us? No? Okay. Anyway, it was quite a relaxed run, where we didn't need to push until the last 100m when our legs became tired. Xinqi clocked 1min 58 secs sth or other, which she whined about being a 1 sec deprovement from her PB. Ruixin clocked 2mins and 3.00 secs seeing that she was always a better sprinter than me, i clocked 2 mins and 3.33 secs. yay. that's approximately a 6 sec improvement from my PB which was done many months ago probably in March. Hah! I improved! And i pushed less this time. =) After which, Mr Tan gave us a half an hr break, which ended up becoming a 45-50 min break, seeing that he was so preoccupied with the hurdlers. We, the 3 of us and Jane + Hushu, did 200m sets. but only 1 set, and 3 times. Yay! slackness! Clocked 34s mostly, which isn't very good, but that's what our entire group aimed for and got. And Mr Tan said between 33-36. So yeah. That was all for training, besides cooldown. SLACKNESS! But due to that nice long break in between, our training ended at 5.30, when it usually ends at 5. And that was excluding cooldown and heated discussions about the annoyance: homework! we. the sec 1s, have the same hw, except that some mainstream classes only need to do a total of 6 pieces for the poetry and prose anthology, while we do 8. Then again, another class has to do 20, so i shan't complain. Walked out to the bus stop with Chloe, Hushu, Chewmin, Cheryl, Yunhui and someone else. Is it ruixin? Can't remember. Maybe it was Xinqi. But she isn't so mad as to dash across the zebra crossing and the main road, getting herself to the opposite side(the J8 side) in a few seconds, although the greenman was already flashing dangerously when they saw it and reached the zebra crossing. that, is what i call... suicide. And 5 of them did it! Even yunhui, future SL to be. Track is going to be overrun with SLs!So they left me by myself on the other side of the road, cause i didn't intend to cross the road, walk to J8 and cross the overhead bridge to get back to the same side i started from just to walk with them a few more metres. Besides, i would've missed my bus. I crossed the road sanely like any sane person would do and ran across the zebra crossing for fun. Then i started walking at a brisk pace. I walked 3 steps and i saw a 88. The 88 passed by me at a snail's pace. Then, I just knew on my instinct that there was a 156 behind. So i turned and what do i see? A 156. Before i could even start running, it passed by me! Not wanting to wait another 20 mins for the dratted bus, I decided to chase it. Why is the bus-stop so far? I had to run like 100m striding or sth just to catch the stupid bus. Of course, this time i was wearing culottes. Thankfully, a lot of people boarded and got off the bus, so although i reached the bus-stop approximately 5-10 secs after the bus, i still had plenty of time to board it. =) Okay... gtg buy new sch shoes cos my mum threw away those that i'm emotionally attached to and have 3 holes each. Bye!
My dear brother sang this song throughout lunch. How nice of him.

Hello. I have neglected my blog shamefully. Yes chloe, i'll blog. Honestly, i never even came here since the last time i tagged. Wow! What activity, i'm flattered. I wonder how you all got here. I really should pay the person for helping me to advertise my blog. =) I actually wanted to blog today, but i thought my blog abandoned. Oh well... Track training. Today's track training was nice. I finished the entire workout! Whee!!!! I'm happy! I've been happy the whole day, so yeah. The weather was better than it usually is, however, it was more humid than usual. I shall just be thankful that it wasn't 38 degrees, like in Beijing, as my dad who just returned from there today very kindly informed me. Usually, for track, our workout is standard. Like this: Warm-ups, drills, easy striding, and sets. Sets today was the only difference. Instead of doing the usual 2 sets of 200mx4, we did 2 sets of 200mx3 and a 400m! It felt surprisingly easier, or perhaps i just felt hyper, i dno. Happy! I finished it.
Hello someone! you should feel honoured! I dedicated a whole section of my post to you. more than you'd ever deserve. Well, just bug off and leave my blog alone will you? thank you. cos i seriously couldn't care less about your opinion. Whoever you are, please be less immature? honestly, i don't think i really wonder who you are, cos fairly few people know my blog address. I can't help having my suspicions, can i? Anyway, just don't come back again.
Hello chloe! I finally blogged. I found both lah. Just not the one i wanted. =) Okay. We'll carry out the plan we discussed yeah? Do you suppose they would censor "hell" if i put it here? No? That's a very very nice phrase. but anyway, you don't have to say anything, though i thank you a lot for that. Just dao the silly person. What a waste of our time. Unless you're bored, then we can be entertained by the weird someone person. Anyway, God bless you too. Take care yeah? Make sure you follow our plan. I started it alr. =)
