and there's always something to reflect on after a race..Carrots raced at Macritchie this afternoon. the weather was pretty cooling, just that the raindrops could be quite distracting sometimes. other than that, it was the perfect weather to run under.the pace at which i was going was comfortable, thanks Fann for pacing. not sure of my timing, but that's not of utmost importance. during a race, being fast and all that doesn't give you the ultimate happiness. it's the encouragement you give others, regardless of race language or religion, and the support from people that you receive in turn that makes you feel satisfied and motivated. heard how Fann described her sense of achievement after cheering for others as she ran along.. and those words really are what i hold close to my heart.yes the satisfaction is in making a difference.seeing the sec3 juniors getting sad and crying ( over their personal timings i suppose ) after the race, it hurt me a lot. really a lot. at the same time, it reminded me of my batch ( present Iron12) one or two years back. hmm well or rather myself. race timings were my greatest fear each time i took part in one. doing worse than what i had expected brought tears. watching the others comfort those who cried, i had to urge to walk over too but i knew it wouldn't help much especially when i hardly exchanged words with them. this is what i realised over the few years.. deep down, we know that friends' advice and encouragement relieve our pain to a certain extent.. which nobody can deny. however, whether or not we can walk out of the depression depends on ourselves at the end of the day. do we wanna wallow in a pool of self-pity.. or do we wanna pick ourselves up and move on.. the choice is ours to make.haha i know the juniors don't know my blog existed.. but yeah, to the juniors: no matter what happened, you guys put in effort, that's what that matters. jiayou, we'll all be behind you always! cheer up and embrace new challenges as you move along (: Song (my friend) once told me : what doesn't kill you, makes you STRONGER. way to go juniors! (:haha and to all those who ran today.. great run there! rest well (:that's all for today.. take care!plus and minus..--the trend must stop.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELAINE! haha my closest friend in primary school..phew the 3rd school week is over. survived! hahahmm well today was quite an unlucky day for me.1) i left my calculator in the Bio Laboratory. it was maths test right after that.2) i ran all the way to retrieve it and back in 80% speed. but i slipped and fell when i was about to reach the staircase to class (not heaven).3) physics practical after maths. i forgot my calculator again. haha but good thing we didn't need it.haha i guess there's quite a deep cut on my left knee. never had one like this before.. hopefully it won't affect training but i'm having difficulty walking properly now. well haha never mind cows are supposed to be strong so moomoo here will recover soon!oh yes and Peishi (if you're here) do get well soon! although i'm not exactly sure what happened. but yeah get well!the Badminton zonals started yesterday. sad that i wasn't able to catch them play.. looking from the results and hearing from Norine/Lizhu.Marian/Kheng, it was an exciting and great fight for both RV and BB. will try to make it for the subsequent matches. hereby wishing all RV Shuttlers goodie luck and all the best. i love Badminton matches! man i'm like feeling the anxiety as though i'm in the team. jiayou!oh yes and the school track area kinda flooded yesterday due to the heavy downpour. 22cm! wow. also due to the same reason, we couldn't use the track hence we ran in the canteen. acceleration to and fro the length of the canteen for 10 minutes without break! HARDCORE!! haha great job there trackers!the thing that has been making me laugh this week was the 'brilliant' way of speaking invented by Kahlok. he added an 's' to every word in the sentence.e.g " its works!" = it works" hows tos dos this? " = how to do this?heh sorry classmates, for my non-stop laughter during lessons when teachers weren't around. but i think it's truly funny!okies that's alls fors todays.. (:barrier..that will always be there--it's better this way

BRAVO! keep it up guys (:watched i-forgot-its-name-movie hahaha.. the one featuring The Rock. yea it's a very inspiring movie for everyone, be it you're a sportsperson or not. i strongly recommend it because it's worth a watch. learnt lots of stuffs through the speeches and lines, the kind of movies like Coach Carter which i love a lot. leaving the house soon, to welcome my parents back to Singapore together with my aunt and cousins.. haha it's gonna be a super long train ride from Jurong East to Pasir Ris. so what's moomoo gonna do.. KO!haha yup that's all for today.. if there's anyone reading this ha..life's full of tests.. it's through failures that we learn from each--catching my breath

so the first week of school has passed.. hahatoday's a happy day because many people are celebrating their birthdays heh.HAPPY BIRTHDAY to:HuiyiJaniceXiuyiCoach Leehopefully they'll enjoy the last 2.5hours haha..hmm had CCA trials this friday, we spotted a few potential runners! goodie hope they'll join in the Carrots team.i guess most of us had fun during and after the trials, it was a whole day of activities and no lessons haha. looking at my batch, i think everyone was sunburnt because we stood in the sun for like 5 hours to conduct the trials. yesterday was flagday, my class went to Jurong East to ask for donations. hmm quite a lot of people were unfriendly, they could have just said they didn't wanna donate.. instead they just ignored us and walked away. haha all right i don't blame them but just feel that they could be more polite to whoever is doing the flagday.. on the other hand, a few kind souls donated more than once.. notes even. there was this lady who said:" aiya $2 for each person (Huimin and i ) " then she put the note into the bag and smiled. whoa touched.overall it was an improvement for myself as compared to the last flagday i did. the bag/tin was heavier i guess haha yay.today i just spent the whole day at home doing homework and talking to people online.. Sis' ill so we didn't go anywhere. may she recover soon! poor thing she's got diarrhoea too. but watching how she's running around the house with her toys.. i think she's well again hahait'll be another schoolday again tomorrow.. and a long one too.haha okie that's about all take care ( if anyone's here ) (:things always happen for a reason..--we may not understand it now butone day..we will.
