::Napfa is coming real sooon, in fact its this thur! Have been trying to train hard for it, and doing some conditioning recently. Its the most important napfa for guys especially, with army looming next year...Think standing broad jump will be my greatest weakness now...I dun seem to grasp the correct technique when it comes to jumping, sometimes there is this phobia in me. I have to jump barefooted for the best results, since when i wear my shoes and socks, i jumped like less than 200cm? Maybe shuttle run pose a problem since i haven did it for a long long time.

But generally, i tink silver is taken for granted (like wad sherman says), and the thing is whether we can make it for the gold. Even people like cai jia shen can get gold and come and show off to me...wad the hell! But year by year, an item will sure screw up and cause me to be contented with silver, hope it doesn't happen again this year. And taking all 6 items at one go is no joke, since its my 1st time doing that. Who wants to enter army early?

Which brings me to the point of my obsession with running recently. Having been running for 7 straight days until fri, when the pain in my calves and hamstring give me no choice but to rest for a while. Throughout these days, i even found out some new routes to explore. R

Ran with sherman on monday around the nj road run route, which was around the terrace houses behing nj. It was around 4 km, but we ran a longer distance than expected...cos of a simple reason : WE LOST OUR WAY! Starting thru the nj side gate, turning right into the terrace houses after bypassing ny, it was the opposite to the usual route, and only sherman knows the way. As we were always surrounded by terraces, the run can be pretty boring and nothing exciting to be seen along the way. And its very hard to get a sense of direction. We made a lot of wrong turns and keep on ending up in th same position, frustration brews...But eventually, we finally reached the nj front gate, yay! Definitely, we ran more than 4 km...

Then for tuesday, ran with sherman again, this time to st nicks, and back. I thought st nicks was quite far from my house, but after running the route thru the other bishan park, and turning right up the slope, i realised that actually st nicks is not far away from our houses, in fact, its quite short. this might be a good route to use for the future. Go furthur and we'll see the chs campus last time at keban baru, when the current campus is undergoing upgrading.

Wednesday continue to run again with puikit, then thursday still got pe somemore. After that still played bball, and when i went back cathigh in the late afternoon, played bball with my juniors again. My legs are still feeling a bit pain, maybe i'm too hiong...the pain has already been there since a few days ago. But when i'm running, its would seem to jus go away for a short while...

Saw a very funny post in puikit's blog about the rationale of gals doing napfa. I seriously see no need for them to take napfa...why do they need these kind of fitness?

Juz came back from this year's 小品比赛, went there to support cathigh's cldds with ashhao and huaming. Seems like the standard has really decreased a lot this year, and i even see schools copying what we did during our days in cathigh. And they still call it chinese drama syf? funny sia, but everything is still the same, still a bit no0b as usual, only the name has changed...i nearly slept while watching the plays as a lot really cannot make it. Aiya, this is 小品 what, can't expect anything good right? Saw some schools copying what we did a few years back, looks like the aftermath effects of 面具 and 如来佛的第六根手指 still hasn't died now. Even heard some terrible misuse of 黄城 soundtracks, the most notable one being 等巴士's kiss the rain, which nearly shocked me...

Our play? Dun remind me, its one of the worst to come out of cldds in recent years, seriously. What's the fun of acting as animals when all of us are pure-blooded humans? chs cldds is really heading for disaster, and we were feeling quite disappointed and worried when we went back last thur to check their progress. The play was not the biggest problem. But the atmosphere was dead, the members were not committed, and there was no passion at all.

The huge influx of PRC is really a great problem, but then, there's nothing we can do about it. Maybe we should really propose a "How to save clddds" plan...I can't believe cldds has turned to become so dead after we left the school. I mean, in our days, although we were always crapping around, playing a fool, or even finding trouble, at least we are enthusiastic enough to do stuff, and the spirit of there. But now...i seriously dunno wad to say.

Even people like victor, whom i've seen him develop all the way since sec 1, told me that he dun wan to leave with regrets, especially when he is the current pres. He told me that he once looked forward to every wed during sec 1 and 2 when we were here, but now, he feels like quitting...I tink i've realised the inbuilt problems of cldds, but it may be a little difficult to solve. They seem to be participating syf for the sake of taking part in it, and even worst, taking past successes for granted. I know we can't expect them to reach the heights of our batch, but they are not even committed in doing it...sigh...

All the best to everyone taking their napfa!::
