IT'S 29th February, Leap Year.
Hahaha well it feels like any other day though Suyi was going around shaking hands and wishing us happy leap year. So it's friday and this week definitely passed even faster. It's been quite and eventful week altogether, weird things happening in school and out of school. I'm touched by many people and happy to hear positive remarks from the PE Dept about my team :) Was speaking to Grace after school today and we both agreed how different the team is this year. Everyone is motivated to train hard, and really get something we deserve and expected of us. It's been quite a while since NJ Track was the glory of the school. I hope this would be the year for the team. Even though the odds are really against us this year, we've just gotta keep working hard and dismiss any negative thoughts. Time trial tmr at Botanics again, BOO. Not when I'm done with a cough.

It's a Monday night and I'm up doing research for GP on Poverty. Makes me realise just how lucky we are, really. Sometimes it's good to just sit and reflect and what's going on in our lives all these years. How we have either wasted our time or spent it meaningfully. Conflicts are normal I guess, but can they be resolved if both parties can't seem to sit down and thrash things out? I really don't seem to understand what's going in their minds, neither can I act as a mediator to get things in the right path. Okay, I just pray hard that everything would be alright. I want you to be back with us.

Singapore will be hosting the Youth Olympics in 2010!!!! :D
YAY I think it's gonna be quite exciting and I'm really looking forward to it. Anyway, I'm really very very happy cause my juniors' appeal were successful and so they're staying!!! :D It really brightened my day once I received the news last night, so the picture taken on tuesday for memory won't be the last one! :) And Yenfang, Emily and Peng Jie got into canoeing too, WOO.
Speaking of Tuesday, omg I think I'll never ever forget that disgusting day which I felt so upset the whole day plus training was such a killer under the hot sun. Did 800m*5 and a 400m all out after that. Just broke down and collapsed the minute I crossed the finishing line and I think I made some of teammates very worried. But that day convinced of the power of a strong mentality. As much as I was so tired and my head was spinning, I still gave it my best shot and of course it felt good (: Was pretty touched when I can't rber who said that next time when there is an additional part to the workout, we should all do it not just a few of us cos "one for all, all for one". That's part of our track cheer. Yeah I can feel the team spirit growing, esp in the cross team. It's just like how I felt so sad that some of them can't stay after the posting results were out and it made me very gloomy for mon and tues. It was only 1.5 months that we trained tgt but somehow I already treated them as part of the team. So thankfully, they're back with us :D And Kahswee's way of thanking me was to get me all wet today. THANK ALOT HUH, and Aaron was in cahoots too and hit the waterbomb on the head, so painful! My goodness, I went home with my hair all wet :X But nevermind, it's just for fun or so they claimed.
Tmr's Road Run and I'm excited too! :) Everyone's given an electronic number tag this year and it makes me think of Nats. All the best to everyone who's running! May Solaris do well as always :D

It's Sunday again, probably the only time in the week you find me online. It's been yet another hectic week but with Valentine's Day on Thursday making things alot better (: It was the most memorable and special V day, a really really sweet day, thanks to all those who brightened up my day. And JEAH for the first lovely surprise the minute I reached school. I was so touched I couldn't stop smiling to myself. Then came those pretty sunflowers-my favourite, I love them! Thanks so much :D Even though there was training on Vday I think it was probably one of those really happy days of mine. Sometimes you just get more joy giving than receiving. It felt really good to hear positive feedback of the cookies baked, since I stayed up for the first time till 2am. Hahaha and even though I thought that there'll be leftovers, since baked 200 over cookies, the trackkers managed to finish it eventually :) Track dinner at Bukit Timah Food Centre was good, the food and company. Heh got really talkative juniors in the team this year and I think that's good, keeps the spirit high like currently. I really wish we can fight for their places and let them stay in NJ, else wednesday onwards trainings gonna be very different without them. Ahh and and I miss the foursome :( Saturdays ain't gonna be the same again.
GP Tuition this morning, did a compre on Happiness. It was a very meaningful passage and made me conclude that I'm really a very happy person. It mentioned about how talking to people will make one happy, no wonder I love talking so much!! :D And also how one feel happier if you're not focus on being happy but gain pleasures from helping others etc. It's true and I think that just makes my life alot more meaningful too.
Anyway, National School Cross Country is confirmed already, 23 April. This year it'll be held at Botanic Gardens. The new route is.... I don't know how to describe, just weird for a race. All the narrow pathways and steep slopes, gosh I really hope this year would be a good one. Was looking through the past NJ achievements for Cross and it's been 4 long years since we obtained a 4th or better. And if we could break the trend this year, I think it'll really mark a good end to my running 'career'. Just as much as I really am starting to dread running these days, I am also motivated to run my best this last year. And I know I'm starting to improve already. At least I havent peaked yet, peaked in January last year and when Nats came, I was somewhat drained. Blahhhh Road Run this Friday and I'm not running. But I'm still excited over it, being able to cheer for my friends as they run their best. It's not often I get this privilege. And at the same time, I get to look out for potential runners for the Cross team too. So nothing to lose over not running anyway. Maybe I've lost my fighting spirit but as the aim of the Road Run states to promote group particiption and team spirit, and not to test the student's athletic prowess. Good luck to all those running! :) And Vanessa, I'm really sorry.

An eventful day, after all those cny visitings, hearing relatives comment how dark I've become, how much weight I lost, spent the day meeting up with many people! I'm quite amazed myself, how I meet up with different friends in one day (: Had GP tuition early in the morning at 9am, before lunching and shopping around with Usarin. Hahah that girl finally got a new schoolbag after so long and she's so happy over it, all thanks to me! And she introduced this 97% Fat Free Yoghurt to me and we each had a cup. Man I realised trackers are very very health conscious! Anyway, met up with Cindy after that and we chilled at Starbucks. I realised that in Singapore we're really considered quite safe, as compared to Australia. Plus the weather here is not as hot there too. Heh anw thanks for the top and the drink, sorry we couldn't spend much time together :( Met up with Aaron at Holland V there after, walked up and down to find somewhere to sit and talk but Coffee Bean and Starbucks were both packed. So we ended up at Burger King :/ I conclude Holland V really is quite boring. It's just filled with restaurants etc, so much for my decision. Yeahh so well, had a really good chat as usual since I'm always so talkative. But I was quite surprised since I never really sat down to talk to him before haha. Yenfang arrived some time later, gosh she's so much tanner now after all the canoeing trainings! Yup so we chatted for quite long before proceeding to Sushi Tei for dinner. And either they were both very tired or very shy cos everytime I stopped talking, there was this awkward silence among us. Hahaha weird :P It was quite amusing having 2 childish friends and Aaron is how lame please! But think this dinner was quite cool since we're all of different ages, 17,18,19. Haha ohh and when they told me it takes 4 rounds of the track to burn off the fats from 1 pineapple tart, I was stunned. That means 16 rounds for me since I ate 4 =X
Ahhh so school reopens tmr, I'm quite looking forward to it after this long boring break. And just like I've told my friends, I'll start to be focused and not slack anymore starting from tmr! :) This time I'm serious and I'll try my best to keep to my promise! Hahaha and maybe less msging cos last month my bills really burst, like triple the original plan's cost. Daddy was quite angry last night cause I msged more than ever, even worst than last year :/ How I wished I had student plan then I won't even be incurring all these extra cost. Rahh no idea how I'm gonna cut down since I kind of enjoy smsing my good friends!:P Plus those track relays too. Oh well, hopefully this month won't be as bad..

Just returned from a 45inutes long run. Quite a different feeling running without the team cause 45mins seems so long. Plus the roads had very few cars, streets were relatively empty, shops were mostly closed. So I just ran from Boon Lay to Chinese Garden, chose another route back since all roads were linked in Singapore but haha I got ended up in some unfamiliar place and for a moment I thought I was lost. So I just kept running until I saw the familiar block of flats. Heh it was quite scary cos I blacked out afetr my run, and I was so worried there was no one around to save me! Haha such morbid thoughts on Chinese New year :X
So Day 1 of CNY is over, seems just like another day for me apart from the goodies, card games, mahjong etc. I resisted all temptation to eat any junk food at all, and merely drank plain water at granny's house! Haha also because I don't like soft drinks. And they served drinks in 100ml cups which I found so amusing since it was so small and could barely contain much water at all. Anyway, the festive mood really sank in towards the evening when more people arrived. Like 50 over people in a 5 room flat. Haha it was quite suffocating that I had to walk out of the house occasionally for some fresh air. Heh relatives coming over to my house today, time to play a good host :) Ahhh and surprisingly, I lost weight. Like the clothes I bought just a few weeks back are too loose now. Anyway here's just a picture of my brother and I we took yesterday cause my bro was happy with his 'change of wardrobe! HAHA he has really grown alot, vertically. And shrank horizontally. Hahaha.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
My class, after the inter-house fashion parade starring Zac (: CNY concert wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, quite entertaining in fact. Short and sweet, we ended at ten and I was greeted with a PASS for my Physics test which Mr Yong wrote 'OK'. Hahah yay I finally passed my first test in J2!
Went out with Twin after that and we had retail therapy. I love spending time together, makes us both very happy:D So managed to get what I wanted despite it being last minute shopping. It always feels good to spend money but it'll be the last time since we both realised that we'll probably not gonna shop anymore after CNY since we'll be busy training and studying etc. Town was crowded as expected, and I bumped into many Crescentians like NICOLE!!! Haha we shall meet up after you terms yah! :) Speaking of Crescent, Kahswee brought the yearbook for me today and it's nicer than the last year. Didn't really look through it properly so maybe I'll borrow from my cousin or smtg. That evil Kahswee kept imitating how I said my speech saying it was not inspiring at all and laughed at me for smiling so widely cause there was this picture of me hugging my friend after we knew our O'level results! TSKTSK. Ahhh I wannna take a second look at the yearbook!!
So we'll welcome the Rat year in about 6 hours time and hope this year would be better. Chinese new year is just a little too early this time round, like I don't feel the festive mood at all. Neither am I looking forward to those CNY goodies cause somehow I don't seem to like it anymore. Haha and yesterday when I told the cross-ers not too eat so much junk food and eat organic goodies instead, they gave me the "you are crazy" look. Hahah yeah I was kidding. Oh well, I hope everyone's fitness will still remain alright even after this long break. Yes the long break is finally here and I cannot be more happy. (:

Saturday, the best day of the week.
Spent the past days with my very good friends make school life much more enjoyable. Talentime on Friday was so much better than last year, something that was really worth my time :) Although I couldnt stop yakking away, and so couldnt Miaoqun, poor Edmund and Adrian had to tolerate us since they were seperated by the 2 of us. HAHAH.
The foursome went out for lunch and chit chat again after training :) I think because of them, I love saturdays so much. We just sat at the grandstand for hours after trng, talking and talking. The guys made Qiulin and I waste our brain juice trying hard to break codes that they created. Haha I should just make a code like QEAL and ask them to uncode it too. Lunch at PS and we went for Secret Recipe for nice chocolates cakes. It was so sinful but tasted very very good! Just one slice made me very happy but I guess it's the great company too. And through all those conversations, I found out more and opened up more and at least now they know the truth instead of the impression they previously had. Maybe letting things out is a good thing! He surprised me when he said that he could tell I was very troubled even though I was always smiling etc etc. HAHA anyway sorry Adrian, I didnt mean to push you onto the road yesterday!! It was accidental?! Hahah so dont take it to heart k :) So we chatted till 3.20pm before realising how late I was for my tuition that I had to walk to Orchard Plaza in the drizzle. But thank EA for walking me there, I'm very touched! Like having 2 bodyguards to protect me, haha. Sometimes I really wished everyday could be like Saturdays!! I think I'm such a talkative person. And even at night I can spend the whole time smsing my good friends and my mum commented how I can stay up smsing instead of going to sleep when I was already so tired :X
Reunion dinner steamboat tonight with family, Gwen's here again! Hahah that means I won't be able to concentrate on my work again :P Doesnt matter, hopefully Phys and Maths Tests this week would be manageable. Ahh I havent passed any test this year YET, how sad. But on a lighter note, Jie bought Royce chocolates :D
