Going over the week...
On monday, not many interesting things happened i think. played catching with ka wee, benjamin and vincent. Was really fun. VIncent was last to be caught as usual. Was caught by gerald loh halfway throughout. Haven played it in a long time. Then after that went to training...
On Tuesday: Found out that i needed to do an SS SEQ, so i chionged it after school until about 4.30. Handed it up to Mr Tanchitt, then slacked around in school for awhile. Met tosy and qian nong at coffeeshop after buying a waffle for dinner.
On Wednesday: Nothing much.
Today: A really unfortunate match, we lost the semi finals to st hildas 3-1. Although the first 2 sets were really close. Although i didnt play. However, we must pull ourselves together for the 3/4 placing match next wednesday against shuqun. Coach talked with us until 5. Then went down and wanted to go back with volleyballers, but decided to go back school study with kawee and vincent. After awhile, we decided to play basketball at 6pm. So we played until about 6.40. It was really a fun time, especially cause got alot fun people there and also i haven played something like that in a long time too :)

Sports day:
Sports day was yesterday. Awesome and fabulous. Woke up feeling very great and energised. Rushed to grab a sausage egg mcmuffin for some energy before heading to hougang stadium. The Jaguar house cheering was awesome. Very fun :) Got to know alot of people on the way too that wished me luck. Thanks everyone! Was feeling very nervous for the 800m, cause i know i have trouble making a podium finish, but i made third my least target anyway. I planned to pace Hong koon on the race.
On the 800m track, suddenly not feeling so nervous as last year anymore, probably cause used to it. Gun blasted and i moved off, jogging at a steady speed into first position. But it didnt last long, at around 300m hong koon overtook me. Although i overtook him again at 400m, i ran out of steam already, and only could trial behind him for the rest of the race while he pulled away from me. at around 600m, was overtaken by Aslam from Jaguar too. Finished 3rd at last, but it was still a great race, although it took alot out from me.
Rested during the 100m because 400m would be after that. Sat down and stretched, tried to get some energy flowing through my legs and arms again. Then went to competitors stand to face my opponents. I knew this wasnt going to be easy at all. James and samuel among them. Was less nervous than 800m, probably cause i was pretty tired to think about it. Pushed off when the horn sounded. Tried to pace myself into the first position from the start, but that wasnt going to happen. Saw Samuel brush past me at just the 60m mark, and he led the race for most part. He was pulling away from me until the last 120m. At the last 100m, samuel wasnt showing any sign of slowing down, so i decided not to give up but sprint on my hardest, the cheers and life of jaguar kept me going. Thanks guys :) :). You all have been really awesome. Jaguar for the win! :) at 120m there was around a 6m gap between me and samuel. Sprinted my hardest all the way until the finish line. When samuel slowed down, at the last step, i crossed the line before him, just 20-30cm win only. On the clock it would have been less than 1/10 of a second. And so it was the best race that i have ever ran.
Rested again and braced myself for 4x100m. Was the third runner, last runner was Jasper. Im so sorry for letting the team down, although i gave a headstart, i banged into arifian after i passed the baton and crossed the other line accidentally, warranting a disqualification. Im so sorry everyone... I will make up for it next year. Please forgive me.
Time for the award ceremony. Me and raymond were cheering swee ah! and amazing, fabulous etc. when jaguar shouted jaguar! Awesome! after we won anything. Was really fun. Went up to collect my 800m third and 400m first. Had a very fun chat with seniors while sitting on the grass. Overall it was an amazing time together in the stadium which i will always cherish. :):)
Left the stadium, saw andy and denyse, they wanted to ask me eat lunch. Felt kinda awkward, so declined at first, but they persuaded me in the end, and i brought lionel along so not so awkward too. Chatted with juniors at the bus stop while me and lionel was waiting for bus cause he couldnt walk, and andy and denyse walked to Hg mall. When the bus came, i passed my bag to lionel but i ran to hougang mall instead, dunno why. Then i realised it was a good decision cause my bus card had no money! plus it was a really short run and i didnt waste any time.
Then had double mc spicy at macs. Played chess with lionel while eating. He won me haha but it was still a very fun time.
Then i headed back home first, to bath and change, before heading to church for funline! we were organising it this time too!
Reached church at 3.45 feeling quite blur, but soon instructions were given to carry stuff. Carried blocks of ice in buckets and later watermelons on plates there. The blocks of ice were really difficult to handle cause they were cold and so we put them in pails and carry. a slice of watermelon dropped on the way there too.... so i picked it up and ate a little of it cause was a bit thirsty :x
Then the games began!
First teams had to melt a block of ice with a t shirt in it, then wear the t shirt. The ice were really stubborn so we allowed them to break it on the way if not there will be no time. Then the watermelon station was funny. They were to eat the watermelon and spit the seeds at their CGL faces, although we didnt play it, i know it would have been really fun for the players :).
Then they had to use newspapers and masking tape and make the newspaper into the belt as an 'armor' for later.
Later the real fun began. Teams starting throwing water bombs around to 'destroy' each person's armor. The person would be eliminated when his newspaper 'armor' break and drops. Then the team with the most number of survivors left wins. During that, i obtained a water gun. Then shot at my cg members for fun. Was really fun running around with a water gun shooting and chasing each other. John javier, yu sheng, jared :) wesley :) haha! Then was poured water on by sarah and meilin. haha.
Then after it all cleared up a little, then we celebrated evan's birthday epicly. First she was put cream on her face. Then our cg members, courtesy of john doing it, poured water on her. First time was just directly while valerie or fiona held her. Then next carried her and poured the wter on her. Then we went back to eat the cake. :) Was really fun :).
Went back and chilled out. Long day on sun.
Today:
Woke up at 8.10, then did some maths before leaving at 9 to support XMS climbers at marina square for the boulderactive competition. Very impressive performance and endurance and willpower shown by the climbers there. Great job to all XMS climbers there! You all did great!
Then went with lionel to go bouldering at yishun safra for the first time in my life. Was a quite long train ride there. Took to yishun mrt then took bus forgot what there. Reached there at around 2.15. I had great anticipation for it as i was waiting for something like that for a few weeks now. Costed $13.90 with shoes but lionel paid slightly more than half for me, i feel bad. will try to repay him some day. Was quite disapointed when i found out the bouldering gym was actually quite small. But once inside it was a much different case. It was actually filled with countless routes that one could practise. I took on the rocks for the first time in my life. Traversed around for a warm-up feeling really excited. But i didnt really warm up anything, cause i ended up locking too much. And my arms were already pumped cause i was too tense at the end. Then lionel showed me one of the routes he chartered. Completed my first route for hte first time in my life then. The feeling was really awesome when i finished a really hard move. Even better was when i completed it. Tried out another 4 routes. But could only complete 2 more, before my blister forced me to go on my right shoe only, while climbing with left foot barefoot. I will return to conquer those 2 routes next week. One is the pink tape one and then the other one which lionel set me
Used up alot of chalk too cause my hands are really sweaty
Overall a seriously fun day. Looking forward to something like this next week hopefully ^^.
Arms really very tired and strained now. especially forearms. Hamstrings aching from yesterdays effort too. But my forearms do not feel reall good. Cant even do a pullup. hopefully it recovers soon.

This is a very important post. An important milestone in my life. I am typing on this blog like a diary only. I wonder who reads my blog anyway?
Recently. I have finally found my life's destiny. What i want to do for the rest of my life.
And that is to make others smile :). A genuine smile. Brings warmth to my heart.
About a week ago, i read a random post on six billion secrets. It went something like this:
One day a man jumped off golden gate bridge, when the police searched his house, they found a note saying : If anyone smiles at me today, i will not jump. And i have since then smiled to everyone.
This 3 simple sentence, changed my life.
about 3 days ago. I was back on six billion secrets, searching for that post again. And i found it. And i have since then realised that a simple smile can actually make a huge difference. I had some plans :)
Yesterday, On the way back, i decided to try out my plan, which was to smile to at least 5 strangers on the way back. I felt really awkward, but i just know i had to like do it. First uncle i smiled to, didnt respond back, probably because i wasnt smiling really widely and he didnt know that i was smiling at him. Second was a lady, i smiled but she lost eye contact with me when i smiled... The third, was crossing the last road back to my house. I saw a frail old lady crossing the street. I waited for awhile until she came near, then i called out 'auntie!' to her and smiled, even though i didnt know her. Seeing her bright smile and gesture back, i was overwhelmed with emotions. And that is what i plan to do for the rest of my life.
Recently in school, i felt that our friendship wasn't as strong as i thought it would be, maybe after all i am just a friend to you. But i wont hold it against anyone ba. If i want your friendship, maybe i should spend the time to go and earn it. But maybe sometimes our personalities do not allow us to be good friends, but only border on being acquaintances, despite the time we spent together. But with others, we are able to be good friends in just so little time. Or at least i think we are good friends. I have many friends. But just how many out of them are my good friends? I know there might be others out there who really are for me, but sometimes its really hard to deal with this. Maybe we are not to be good friends after all. But being acquaintances with you is my honour :)

Been spending alot of time procrastinating. Not really in the mood to study, every time i open the textbook its like i read it before already, so i feel sian-ed and close it.
Most of the time i spend procrastinating is on playing Dota. Over this sat and sun i'll been playing like 3 hours of it everyday. Its and unhealthy obsession.. Argh
Maybe 2 games is fine. Like 1 and a half hours is enough ba. But 3-4 games is to much, i should be more disciplined. And set my priorities in life right
Disney songs like You'll be in my heart, I can go the distance, At the beginning really encourage me greatly, at least hearing those lyrics gives me hope that sec 3 life is not that bad after all, at least friends will be there for you, will anyone be there for me though?
Results arent really improving. I have not failed any tests yet, but the average of all my tests is just 60. If my father knows it he will surely hit the roof. Man its such a hard climb up. Plus i dont even understand half of logarithms. Theres a long way to go ba.

On removable cast now, able to remove it at home, its just a plaster secured by bandages on my leg.
Ah cant run for 200m and 100m on sports heats liao. Its just two days away, even a miracle would not enable me to run for it. And even if i really do, i won't be on full form too. Looks like i must take up 800m on sports day too. If not will be running 400m only, i wont be good, must take up a few more events!
800m is a foreign event to me though, and i don't think i will be practising for it, so the first time i run it will be on sports day itself. I like a good challenge though:)
Results getting back are quite disappointing. Studied hard for it, but in the end the results reaped are not so desirable. I feel like working harder, but when i actually care to spent the time on those subjects, the results arent coming in. I wan to give up sometimes, but i know my dreams are tied to my results like a lifeline. For my dreams, i must still persevere, regardless of results. Hard work won't go unnoticed. Or at least i try to comfort myself with that.
A good day out with friends will do me alot of good :)
