HEBE'S BIRTHDAY! (though it doesn't affect me in any way.. haha xD)
the march holidays had gone past in a whiz.
road marshalling for the bike rally was a fruitful but extremely tiring experience.
besides standing like a lone idiot and waving the red flag for 3 hours in the morning, i could remember myself falling asleep several times in the day like many others, on the sofa at NTU and on the bus whenever we got the chances to because apparently all of us didn't really have a good sufficient sleep the night before spent on the cold hard floor of the NTU's sports hall.
i also got drenched in the rain which came while i was marshalling at my second station, then the entire event was called off due to the rain and we the road marshals ended up being trapped on the bus...
however, despite the unpleasant episode, i had gained alot more from volunteering in the event.
besides getting to make new friends, i met jasmine, my very nice sec 2 classmate! :D
we wanted to exchange our phone nos but in the end we didn't manage to cos we got separated onto different buses the next day and we never met again. :(
but nvm, at least i know which sch she is in now. :)
went for the guitar prac which hit the record of our longest guitar prac ever- 5 hours
i also had an one-day guitar camp which earned me several big orh cheys around the upper parts of my both ankles.
then finally we had our guest performance at RP last sat.
some peeks at our practice/holding room@RP
the section 3 girls :)
the third row's section 3 girls :))
section 3 and percussion girls :D
hmm so, the new term has started, with much dread.
but as my pd tutor puts it, it is already our third last term in aj.
hmm sounds pretty good and encouraging.. ;)
hmm but how about that it also means only 200 plus days left to A levels?
*panic* ahhhhhh......HHH :O
it's really time to start my study quest on this very night.
it's really time to start my study quest on this very night.
the midnight oil, i shall burn.
tmr's guitar prac is cancelled! :D
but it also means an extended guitar prac next wed. :(
going for the nus open house tmr.
then at night, i have to sleep over at ntu for the bike rally event the flollowing day which will most probably take place until late evening.
so my weekend is already filled = no time to do homework
xP
the schedule for next week is equally packed too, which is largely dominated by guitar. (pracs, camp and concert)
chem extra lesson and maths makeup lecture also come and ka-jiao my precious holidays too. :(
march hols = tons of homework to do and tests to study for
i was trying to draft out my homework cum study plan for the holidays.
and i faced immense difficulty in trying to figure out a way to squeeze so many things within a span of much >7 days of proper holidays i have.
:(
i think i got deeply influenced by nive.
now i have come to develop a penchant for pastamania's pastas.
we just had our second lunch indulgence at bishan's pastamania today after school.
we had been looking forward to our next pasta lunch ever since our first one but it was postponed time and time again due to unforeseen circumstances.
and today, FINALLY we got to eat it again! :D
nive's a fan of al funghi while my favourite is teriwasa tori.
we couldn't resist the temptation so we ordered the same pastas again. haha:)

***Childish Indulgence Gives Me Happiness***
i feel very happy and accomplished today.
not because school ended quite early today.
not because i'm "enjoying" writing my 16 mark geog essay now.
not because i know that every lesson will be shortened by 5 mins tmr.
IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE FINALLY COMPLETED THE LAST NAPFA TEST OF MY LIFE!!
the 2.4 km run this morning wasn't a breeze. in fact, it was a really really painful one.
but i managed to pull through and it was the feeling at the completion of it (and after my stomach cramps had eased..) that was the sweetest.
and the bonus was i had my personal best timing and got a C! :O
thanks to those who had helped me, guided me, encouraged me and cheered me on and chewps who ran the last lap with me.
and also special thanks to the extremely nice xue en who wrote down and passed her "wu lin mi ji" to me a day before the run.
this is what it says... **beneficial for those who can't run and have weak stamina like me too!**
16 TORCHES TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE DARK!
1) THINK ABOUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT RUNNING
2) IT'S THE LAST FINAL 2.4 RUN ALR!
3) NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER NEVER THINK OF GIVING UP.
4) DON'T NEED TO BE THE BEST, BUT U CAN DO UR BEST.
5) SQUEEZE TO THE FRONT AT THE START AND RUN WITH THE VERY FAST PPL
6) TAKE A DEEP BREATH B4 U START AND BREATHE DEEPLY SUBSEQUENTLY WHEN U FEEL OUT OF BREATH.
7) STRETCHING AND WARM UP PROPERLY
8) WHENEVER U FEEL LIKE GIVING UP, LOOK AT THE SKY AND SMILE. THEN TELL URSELF "JIAYOU!"
9) IT IS TOUGH, IT IS TIRING BUT U MUST CONQUER IT AND NOT LET IT CONQUER U INSTEAD
10) COUNT UP, DUN COUNT DOWN (after running 1st round, tell urself "i ran 1 round le" not "huh? still have 5 runs?!")
11) TELL URSELF IT'S THE LAST TIME U ARE EVER GOING TO RUN 6 ROUNDS. after this no more afternoon pe!
12) IT'S PURELY DETERMINATION, NOTHING TO DO WITH PHYSICAL HEALTH
13) BELIEVE IN URSELF
14) U WILL FEEL GOOD AFTER U RUN WITH ALL UR MIGHT
15) DUN FEEL STRESSED OUT. IT'S JUST A 2.4 RUN.
16) THINK OF OTHER THINGS TO DISTRACT URSELF (eg eyecandy, subjects' qns, concepts, gp qns, maths challenging qns etc)

i have come to realise that running is more than just what it is.
the concepts of running can be applied to other things in life too.
on the whole, i have learnt three important lessons in life
- i dun need to aspire to be the best but i can always strive to be the best in myself.
- if others can do it, i can do it too! but what if others can't do it.. does that mean that i can't do it too? no! that where my mindset, whether positive or negative, plays a vital part. it dictates the way you think.
- determination does wonders!
