Tiring weekend.
What a tiring weekend it was. I m totally drained of all energies i have. Gotta have more bananas. I used up all the energies i stored over these three days all through tiring physical activities. Let's see, friday after school i went bballing with zhi long in sch. Not really that tiring but it did used up some form of energy. The time we had in the court was quite fun though. In fact, its always fun to play bball.
Yesterday, saturday was the TAS Inter-school Biathlon. Went out early in the morning round 9 plus to meet Xiang Un and the rest at eunos to grab some bite b4 Adeline's mom kindly sent all of us to East Coast Park where the event was being held. The actual thing was in the afternoon rd 2pm but we were there round 1230pm to prepare and warm up. The currents were quite strong yesterday, in fact, it caused the line marking the swim route to be out of place till we have to swim from buoy to buoy. The swim part was really the worst. I started off fine till this guy kept on blocking and kicking me throughout the whole thing. What's worse is that the waves were really strong and its really tough to even hold out. I got out of water as one of the last, maybe the last, i don't know. Quite bad but I still carried on. The first few hundred metres of the 5km run was the next toughest after the swim. I felt my lungs bursting any moment. Its only after the 1st km that i got used to the breathing and managed to hold out till the end. I think i m the last of all i guess, given that there are only 20 individuals and 13 relay teams in my wave. At the very least i am happy that i completed the thing. One happy thing is that one of ACJC's team made it to 3rd place for the relay which comprise of one of the swimmers and one of the crossers. After the whole thing, we the lifeguards and xiang un's friend went to Cathay for some sinful and yet delicious food, Ben's and Jerry's ice-cream. Thinking of those ice-cream, i m still drooling.*slurps*
Today is also tiring for me, i slept for 8 hrs since last night and i even took 2 naps of an hr each, one in the morning and 1 in the afternoon after i got home. I actually went to play badminton with my family after lunch today, which, in fact, drain me out even more instead of me resting. That explains the second nap. I am still feeling tired, gosh, i think it has been really long since i exerted so much. I got to train more i guess, my stamina has really dropped and NAPFA is in 1 and half weeks!
Got to rush homework and rest early. Hope it will be a great week in school this coming week.
Lost?
PW results are released earlier today. It was sure a big woo-ha for the J2s all over Singapore and not just us. Everyone around me seem very excited to know about their grades, the fruits of their hard work over 8 months. For me, i want to know the results but i did not feel any anxiety, excitement or anything, maybe its due to my over-confidence. At the very least the scoldings, strictness of Miss Lim Oon Hua, our repeated complains, our overnight burn-outs doing WR and jokes within the group paid off. All members of my group received an A! Most people in Ms Lim's class did well and bagged an A. Somehow, we still have to thank her despite her strictness and sometimes unreasonable demands.
Life lately seems to be really rocky, i feel like i m swimming out there in the sea, trying to keep my head out of water while going towards my goal. Emotional roller-coaster ride may also be another word to describe. Somehow, i seem to put too much things in my head. Zhi Long seems to be right, i shld really relax a bit. However, i find that i m really not myself lately. I have lost my concentration in a lot of things that i do. This seems really bad, its like when u play and have fun, u think bout work and during work u think otherwise and slack. In the very end, nothing seems to be done. Some dilemma going here isn't it? Growing up somehow dun seem to be as easy as many other may say.
Competition for us lifeguards is also coming up in end june and we are already training hard for it. At least i m able to contribute in a way or another though i m not in the first team. Gotta really admit that i m juz not tt fast and good. at the very least i m going to do well in my rope throw, I will meet my target somehow.
I found this quite inspiring quote from a friend's blog and it is:
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent.
Somehow, i agree with what it says. Think bout it.
