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.
