been wanting to type this for quite some time already but i thought i should save it for today.
anw, today marked the end of the 48th national inter-school track & field championships. well, i guess everything went well, though i must admit that it hurts to lose the top4 placing (the girls, that is). yujia came back from a bad start to finish 3rd in her 100m race. raman, lynette and andre battled their hearts out for their 800m and 1500m races. the girls came in 3rd for 4x100m and 2nd for 4x400m. well done.
after prize presentation, people were cheering, some were singing school song, others doing their victory laps while we were busy taking photos. then it dawned on me that this would be the last time i'll be part of this atmosphere. it has been a long way since i started track in river valley high. it had been hard, training was never easy, but it gave me a goal, gave me something to work towards. now that track is gone, i seem to have lost something close to me, lost half my life. i feel kind of useless without it. but life goes on. i need to find something new.
something for me to fight for.
for now, i guess this is it...
goodbye choa chu kang stadium, goodbye gombak stadium
goodbye baton, goodbye starting blocks
goodbye spikes
goodbye track & field
