ms ong had an one hour pep talk with us trackkers today.
well, it sure was enriching??
haha maybe not enriching,
but it put me into thinkin abt my plans for the team.
we're not exactly a team,
cos we just a bunch of crescentians fufilling the numbers in track,
and that doesnt automatically make us a team!
[haha i thot abt what dr stockmann said when ms ong said that
'just because a mass of organisms have the human shape,
they dont automatically become a people']
hahha. so i guess the same applies for track!
but after what i call a motivational talk..
i think, we've got a future!! =)
things are definitely going to change.
and throughout this week
the only thing that's in my mind is TRACK, TRACK and TRACK.
somehow TRACK just take precedence over my studies now.
i dunno why,
suddenly feel so attached to track.
hahah so silly of me.
but it really got me thinking that yes,
we are not even a team!
i mean like look,
most ple are coming just to get attendence,
but not cos they're really passionate abt track.
i dont deny having the same sentiments at times ;)
haha its unavoidable i guess.
so from now till i step down,
let's see ive got till june?
but after april, which means in one mths time,
trng for me will cease already.
so in a way ive got one more mth to work on team unity.
hmm it sure is going to be tough!
BUT, after my Nats,
ive decided i shall work on the team,
and not physically but think of ways to bond trackkers tgt!
and i really long chat with ms ong today aft trng.
we evaluated everything.
what has been going wrong for track.
why seniors are not close to juniors.
whereas in other ccas as she mentioned.
juniors wave frantically at seniors.
haha its pretty hilarious =D
and when she told the team abt my rxn abt attendence,
i just felt SO embarressed!
haha never knew i looked that silly =/
but well its just to crack things up.
haha i wonder if what ms ong said today had any impact on trackers.
i rly hope in their minds
they're thinking yes we ought to do smtg as a TEAM.
so as ms ong and i were chatting abt the track team...
she asked me a question
which i found it hard to answer.
'As the captain of the team, do you think you have done much?
What do you think you can do to improve the team's mentality?'
something like this.
well, i was pretty taken aback and dumbfounded.
many things ran through my head.
i mean 4 yrs in crescent
definitely ive gone thru alot,
seen the diff attitudes of trackkers
and yes done a fare bit?
but i din know of she meant i wasnt working hard enough for the team
or whatever.
haha so i just expressed my true feelings.
and i felt so good
when she said "you're a freaking hardworking PDA!"
hahah so flattered.
cos she realised i knew the sec ones data quite a bit.
quoting an example from sports day like who came in 1st etc.
hahahaha. it does feel good when ple praise u occassionally.
haha maybe ive been deprived of praises a captain?
haha i dunno. but doesnt matter.
i just wanna do things for the welfare of trackers.
its my last yr i cld serve the team
and i wanna make full use of it
and bring it to a high standard, and the others cld cont.
ambitious it may sound,
but im gonna work hard tgt with ms ong ;)
whtr it will be successful or not,
it all depends on everyone.
but i do believe we all want a strong and united team,
don't we?
and i believe the ple im working with are a great bunch of ple!
hahah when ms ong asked what we'll miss most when we leave crescent.
the first thing i thought was really FRIENDS.
altho she said no one mentioned it,
i do think everyone was thinking about the ple which make up the team.
despite the tumulous journey,
the amt of perspiration we sweated out,
we all knew we cldnt have done so much wo those arnd us.
im certain abt it.
u or me may not say it out loud,
but we know friends are the one in track which makes out the bestest thing! =)
haha so everyone out there,
start encouraging youe trackkers from today.
track is not about each individual,
[altho it maybe during races]
but a simple 'jiayou' is all it takes
to really push sumone to run faster.
i think it works,
cos elvira ran faster when amanda, mich and i cheered on her.
u see, it does helps =)
i like to hear it too!!! =DD
grins-
haha yupp so lets work towards a BONDED track team ok?
we're going to work as a team,
its no longer going to be just I.
hahha. i have faith. (:
CG FOREVER
[centre of gravity! hahah]
i love track. crescent track. really i do (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NU ER AMANDA!
