I am so proud of my recent achievements. Last Saturday I just passed my kayaking one star test. Then for track and field meet, I got 3 medals. 2 golds and a silver. My golds are from inter-PDG 4x100m relay and JC1 girls shot put. Yeps I came in first for shot put among the J1 competitors. My throw was horrid though. Didn't even reach my 7m. I threw 6.75m... three weeks of missing track and field training. I was the first runner for 4x100m. I overtook all runners in the heats and managed to pass my baton first in the finals. The heats was done in a very impressive manner as I left many behind me at the bend. Jeslyn, aj track and field runner didn't manage to overtake me. I am so proud of myself. I think our 4x100m team was great. As for my silver, it came from 8x50m inter-PDG. We miss the gold by 0.1 seconds perhaps. I was the second last runner. Great to have Marian in the team... she is a superb runner.
Some humours of the day: Heard that Miss Low wore AJ PE attire to camouflage so that she doesn't have to do any staff race. Mr Sng waved two blue pompoms to cheer for the staff. Dehai was doing cheer-leading today... can't believe it. Oh yes and his birthday is coming- 5th May same as Candice. How?
I still have not feel too bonded with my class yet. I have to admit that I feel more bonded to the guys than the girls gang. They have already known each other from RV and also from SAJC for first three months. Jolene and Esther seem to fit in perfectly. Just left me and Marian... I guess we are part of the guys clique.
ODAC was great. I feel bonded with them. Especially the girls. Myra and I often initiate fitness self-training. We would run 4km during these self-initiated tranings. OK I have to admit we were jogging very slowly but the perseverence is there. I just made a compact stove, though I used the wrong can and mum nearly made the cloths cathch fire. LOL. Anyway, I will be starting my sports climbing ( rock-climbing but climbing on man-made wall) tomorrow. Hopefully I can get my one star soon. We saw this poster on the ODAC board. It is about a competition that requires a team of 4 of both genders to abseil, cycle, swim, kayak and race in one day. I was so tempted to join! 12June is the competition but I heard that we will be having kayaking 2 star on that day. Anyway, we gave ourselves names of the opposite gender. I am Elias ( initially came up with Edison, Eistein, Elias and mum suggested Edwin and Earnest), Myra is Matthew, Hazel is Henry, Jeremy is Joanna ( he keeps changing names) and Ron decided on Rachel today.
I can't wait to see the 2004IJRCYSec4s. I just want to run to them and give them a big hug when I see them tmr. I am worried that I will cry when I see them, I just miss them too much. Hope that won't happen.

I met up with dehai yesterday- he talked to me about CCA. He tried to ask me to stay in track and field. According to him, there are only 5 J1 throwers now. So is it an obligation for me to stay in track and field? He also added that he thinks ODAC is really tough. He asked if I can take it. My ego was hurt. I blurted "Don't belittle me." He also gave me some advice on how I can cope with JC's workload. Or rather how he thinks I can cope with homework with track and field.
Yes that is one problem that I have to face if my CCA is hectic. However, some of my reasons for quitting track cannot be overcome so easily. For example, how can I overcome my boredom of doing the same things over again for training.
I think I will just take up ODAC. I will perservere its tough trainings and become a stronger person.
*I've been switching on my phone longer than I used to
Waiting for a message, waiting for a call
Waiting for the special somebody to keep me in touch
Waiting in frustration, Waiting too much.*

Yeps, I think I have come to a conclusion. I will be joining ODAC. After talking to Mr Koh, my track and field teacher, I felt so much relaxed and enlightened. He was so nice. He said that I am worried to hurt others feelings by leaving and that is what that may be holding me back. He was not biased... well the field team is indeed lack of female throwers and now I am leaving, I heard that there are two J1s left... anyway, Mr Koh said that he would recommend ODAC. He also said that he will welcome me back anytime. I am so touched by his words. Alright, I have to admit that I teared a few times. I didn't like let my tears fall down though... ok... I know my ego. He also said that I must learn how to manage my time if I am taking up something which I feel would take up a lot fo time. He assured me of his support to join ODAC. I think I really felt like I would respect Mr Koh after the meeting. Thanks Mr Koh. I feel like what has been troubling me this few weeks are taken away by you.
Today I went for the second ODAC training. The first ODAC experience was the "selection" We played some team games, built a tent blind-folded and ran up across then down a four storey block for 8 times. Having muscle aches for two days after. First ODAC training after the selection, we learnt pioneering... that is to tie clove-hitch and lashings. The second training that is today, we built a bridge using the stuff we are taught on the first training. It was so cool! I attempted to cross the bridge closing my eyes but failed.
Oh and I went for AJ idol auditions yesterday. It was horrid. I was second on the list and I chose my song the day itself. Sad to say i didn't practise and prepare myself for the auditions and I couldn't remember the lyrics so I just brought my lyrics up to sing.The judge said that when I sing I have no variation. I was the first to be judged though I am second on the audition list... due to this someone who brought a disc with the original singer singing and I have to go up to perfrom while she waits for the technical stuff to be done. BTW, the song I sang was "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera. Initially I wanted to sing "an jing" by Jay Chou but then there are many who ae going to sing that and my friend who is third on the audition list will be singing that too... so I changed to "beautiful". The councillors have not claled me to confirm that I am in the semi-finals... meaning that I will most likely not be in. I now hope that I will not get in, I don't want to spend time participating and worrying about the songs to sing.
