==============================
Work Work....
Finally endured a week of stress and pressure, not explaining much as to why though. Hmm.. Yesterday(Friday), was the worse: Napha Test!
I know in my heart my failing event of Standing Broad Jump, And no matter how intimidating pull ups are, they're no match for SMJ's horror. LoL.. Nah, it's just a case of bad technique and fear of letting myself go. I'll keep on practising though. Pull ups were the funniest, everyone(not everyone) was cheating. You just keep pulling, no matter what, and somewhere in time you'll feel Jie Sheng's hand on your back, in an attempt to set u straight and free from swaying, but in fact, was pushing you up. Then there's Thomas jumping, and stretching in front of the teacher trying to cover the crime.
What I did was worse, I kicked the wall and everything in sight, that includes the bench right at my foot, creating a big bang. LoL! Thomas said Mr Ng CT(Teacher in charge of the Pull Ups Station) failed to hide his grin when he heard that noise, but still pretended dumb.
SBJ was really normal this year, not that frightening anymore.. And thanks to Dorae(who was the Data Logger for my class), helped me faked a C. =) Not to mention, she helped a lot more poor souls too. =)
Sit and Reach was the only breeze i encountered all these years. 59cm, yeah~! Xuan Yu was like rubber lah, he stretched to reach the limit of 63, it was O.O for all of us.
Ran the Shuttle Run at 9.7s, cool cool cool. lol, dont know if it's my max, but as long as it's A. Who cares. Anyway, thank goodness we ran shuttle run at the track, i might have slipped and fall if we were doing in on concrete ground, cant find any shoes in my home that offer good grip.
Sit Ups, managed a 46, though they were not of standard ones. only 3/4 to recovery position, i came up le. Wee~!
2.4!!!! OMG.. Once the whistle(i actually i forgot what was the cue) went off, I started dashing. And yesh, this means im at the wrong pace. Barely halfway through my first round, i realised i couldnt make it at this speed for six rounds. And I'm supposed to accompany kent. Shit, where's Kent!?!?!? I dont dare to look back, just reduce my speed and pace it around there. Still I was running at 5:30 for my third run, that makes 1:50s per round, which means I'll get my B if i keep going at this pace.
But practically I was alone lah, then from like the second or the third round, i was together with another stranger and sorta kept my spirits up because i felt so "un'cast-away'" anymore. He sped off eventually, darn! LOL. After which, no one passed me to join up with me but instead, past me to pass me, I was like eh.. "someone behind??? come join me leh!!" i just had to keep going.
but my negativity just keeps striking. "wah two more rounds leh, slow down lah", "you're tired, give up, run another day when you're more fresh and ready lah", "you'll not make it under 11:50 de, stop for a while, walk lah.", What prevented me for pulling out or stopping for a rest was my friends at the edge of the track. Every half a round, i get motivational call-outs from my friends telling me to jia you, counting down for me and dismissed the inner demons from successfully stopping me. Thanks to Shu Zhen, Yun Jia, Sophie, and Denise and those whom i failed to recall. =) Wee, First time for my life, just kept pacing at the same speed, going ALONE, and i realised something I just kept running, never check my stop watch at all. haha..! But sians, when i completed my run, i took a couple of steps and then looked at my stop watch, clocked it and it was at 12.05, disappointed though i was running at one of my max already. Was like: huh.. hmm.. nvm loh.. haha!
Didnt hold much hopes but when the official timing was released, I was practically riding a cloud when i heard Yun Jie announced Willy:11:39!!!! WeEEeEeeee!!! Not all surprising for many people, but a morale booster for me~! lalala~!
So determined for the run for the first time, combated myself into saying "4 rounds left, good timing for first two rounds" instead of "sh*t, 4 more rounds ahhhhhhhh". Chose to view the glass as half filled then half empty. A lil proud of myself lah.
And after the run, which was the last item of the day, i just went around lying down and stretching and cooling down. So Shuang! weee.. I felt more energetic after the run, although somehow I caught a flu. Haha.. So happy. However, not long after, I felt all moody again, mind processing lots of things that have and have yet to happen. rather stress and worn out mentally. Then kena "cordially invited" by simin to join her and kent at the kBox. hehe.. Think they too tired bah, keep singing until 12+ still no conclusion. So I advised them to stop the night and make the decision tomorrow(which essentially today). I dont know how things went though, shall find out when i meet kent and cheng in half an hour's time. Speaking of which, im zoning out of here, running late.
Will update more when i get home and free this weekend.
bewilderment got the best of me.
till then;
