common test finally over. but the last paper was horrible. physics, supposedly my forte, was probably the worst paper done out of all the 5 subjects. chem, my other life saviour, is probably screwed as well. mr low walked past me today and told me i did badly. simple as that. maths. didnt spend time and effort revising, confirm fail. i told mr tan straight, 'this time i'm gonna disappoint you'. so there you go, 3 of the subjects that made my ABB for CT1 is probably going to turn out horrible... econs and gp... don't wanna talk about it...
overall conclusion? totally flunked my entire CT. how wonderful.

wrist breaking from all that writing
brains failing from all that thinking
but all this hold little importance to me right now, for i have bigger things to worry about. my hamstring isn't looking good, at all. nationals starting next friday. 4x100m heats. i'm doubtful if i can even make it to the starting line right now.
fail all my cts for all i care, i just want my leg to recover...
if my hamstring were to tear, let it be the moment just after i cross the finishing line... after my very last race... my very last nationals.

the past week have yet been another "mug-whenever-you-can" week. it's pure mugging training-madness. gone were the days when i can watch anime and read my manga. and play tennis.
and my hamstring still feels wierd as i'm typing this.
been mugging at kap for at least 10 days straight. lunch have been either mc donalds student meal or onigiri from cold storage. getting sick of them already. but the seaweed shaker fries was good, though i must admit it's unhealthy.
i dunno what to expect for the upcoming common test. seriously, i'm sick of studying already. i don't mind giving up now and quitting jc once and for all. the only thing that's been keeping me going is the thought that all my efforts up till now will go to waste if i do that. so... like what they always say, hang in there. argh.

if i had pushed that little bit harder during training just now, it would have spelt doom and my track season would have ended today.
my hamstring almost snapped today. that was damn close...
ice, tiger balm, rest, elevate, compress, heal. we have a certain jc to beat for 4x100m on the 5th of july if we want to qualify for the finals. and of course we want it. badly.
yup, the start list's out. looking forward to my 200m race where i'll be racing against an old teammate, and 2 other pretty fast fellas. kai sheng's in my 400m heat and he'll be way too far ahead for me to chase. oh well, just whack. same goes for 4x400m. i want finals!
excited.

just read justin's recent entry and somehow, i'm very much affected by what he said.
i admit im at fault for having the thought that nj track guys team will not shine, when we're up against schools like rjc, hci, acjc, vjc, schools with excellent track records, with runners clocking timings far from our personal best. just 2 days ago, i was counting, along with the other 4x100m runners, how many schools can we lose to and will we ever manage a top 8. now when i think about it, that's dumb. if we always have such a mentality, we're never gonna make it.
and i sincerely apologise for that.
some captain i am huh?
i used to think that unlike soccer and basketball, victory and defeat on the track is always clear, judging from the timings the runners clock. all these while, i've felt intimidated, simply by looking at numbers which probably meant nothing at all. "you've already lost half the battle if you think you'll never beat that". you'll never know what might happen on the day of the competition itself. 4x100m especially. even singapore sports school can get disqualified during last year's nationals 4x100m 'b' division boys race. and catholic high's 'c' divison boys 4x800m team overtook sports school at the last stretch during saa schools' relay to deny them the gold medal. and acjc's 4x400m team did exactly the same thing just the day before.
what i'm trying to say is, we're no different. one thing is for sure - we're not weak. we've been slogging out guts out on the track for years, and we have the capabilties of creating an upset. we've got throwers who probably throw 100 discuses a day, we've got runners who pon lessons to train, who train despite falling sick, we've seen guys coming close to winning. we've produced speed demons like dian xiang last year and yu cheng the year before. this year ain't gonna be different. either that or it will be better.
5th-18th july. choa chu kang stadium. we've got races to win and pbs to break
just whack.

just caught home united vs. gombak united an hour ago. the first half of the match was boring but the second half had me on the edge of my seat most of the time. there was once gombak took 3 shots at home united's goal in less than a second, but the solid defence blocked them all out.
ok that aside. it's been another lousy week, not that my life had ever been interesting anyway.
the 4x100m look pretty decent now. looking to break the 46.15 clocked by ben, dx, me and leon last year.
track retreat went pretty smoothly. played my first dota game and second lan game after that. not gonna play it again, not because of the game but because of certain other issues. pool after that, before heading out to adrian's (old) house to stay over. and i must say his old house is CREEPY. mirrors eveywhere, of all shapes and sizes. i think there were more than 10. when i woke up the first thing i saw was my reflection in the mirror. and not to mention an old, creepy toilet, creaky doors and this 'snoopy' plushie with a smile that makes it seem like a voodoo doll. i'm never going to step into that house again.
swift 4x100m race this sunday. i'm ready.
nationals in 2 weeks. bring it on.
1 week to common test. die.

changed blogskin finally. haha, havent had to time to draw, except during a certain lecture where i spent the first half drawing and the second half... erm... somewhere else. that lecture was simply too boring...
anw, chose this blogskin not because i'm a fan of vincent valentine (though i must admit i like his dark and mysterious character), but the fact that the skin captivated me the moment i saw it.
oh man i feel like playing final fantasy. i'm getting bored of granado espada already... so far it's been some mindless 0-100 leveling.
oh well, before ffXIII comes out i'll guess i have to mug hard...
