thats it... thats it...
Hopes shattered... heart broken....(tsk so emo:/)
time trial over.
i dno why. what was i thinking during the run. i confessed to janell, that recently, for the past 1 month, i havent been serious in cross. its like, i gave up or smth. i didnt realise, until aft time trial. jan said she noticed my give-up attitude by my body language and the way i joke, when others are serious and getting ready to run.
well partly its cos of my injury la, that i didnt run for quite some time, then i kinda gave up cos the whole world was faster than me suddenly, so i wasnt motivated to catch up. i have weak mindset. thats one thing for sure.
during the trial run, at the start line, i was ready next to rinna, then chiong to the front. then i asked myself,"hey why so fast?" i was thinking i would die if i started too fast. now i really regret. i could have just stayed with her. instead, my mind just told me to let everyone overtake me. i was even singing the iloveegg song in my mind. i took this run like any other jog. pathetic attitude.
i didnt even bother to overtake anyone! then i suddenly woke up. woke up from whichever world i was in. i wasnt conscious how impt cross country is in my life. when mr koh announced the positions, i started being so remorseful. i thought, if rinna was 10positions behind me for last Nationals, now why is it that shes now the only sec 3 running when im not even in the team? not even a reserve. how stupid i am. stupid. stupid. i really dno what to do.
WELL, LETS BE HAPPY. LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. TMR'S CROSS COUNTRY! whether i recover in time to run not, im just gonna run my best. Lets pray that i'll be in top 20 and that my run will be wayyyyyyyy better than the trial run! :D
i just dont know what to do. i need some guidance from God.

the sound of me running around, being super busy with admin and publicity (and abit of programme) for Love With A Cause. As u noe, im so lovely and lovable so i have been loving with a cause by helping my valentine, Dr William Tan, who winked at me while i was running with him when he was wearing the sunglasses. oh well, he thought i couldnt see his eyes but i was running next to him so could see abit of his eyes from the side. HAHA.
anws, FINALLY ITS OVER!!! oops. Merrilyn sad i must be positive and shld say ''yay! its a success!'' man... homework piling up! i only did math, and now im blogging.
but well! despite the workload and running abt to stay on task, we HAD FUN!
all of us were going either cranky or blur like funnily blur....
i stole a packet of potato chips! not really stole but cos mrs goh sponsored the chips then sam allowed me to take it!:D teehee....
angela and sam didnt bathe and they just washed their hair! hahaha... stank the whole bamboo courtyard. at 5am, me, abigail lee, glenda, angela, sam and ms wong, were crapping.
glenda told lame jokes like"EH COME JOIN US AND EAT LOLLIPOPS. NAH TAKE THIS. NOW U SUCK LIKE US, HAHAHA"
now that was fantastically lame. actly i dno what to blog abt so im just crapping up, seriously.
ms ho was being cranky, and ms su was like moody, sometimes funny sometimes scary. most of the time funny. she was like singing her favourite Maroon 5 song, and when jia min wanted to change the song for dedication, jia min was like "ms su, can u change to click 5?'' ms su, in her sleepy mood, was like'' but..but... i want my maroon 5!!!!"haha so cute.

ABIGAIL. thanks for your muffin, u gave me at the right time, i was freaking hungry, too tired to go find food. but ur muffin got squashed! i sat on it i think. hahha but it was eaten though!

ms ho let the emcees eat in LT! hahaha i was shocked though. i ate nachos there and her niece stole my nachos! thanks to abi, who gave some to her..haha nvm... she was so cute, abi was like '' no.. no.. u can only eat the small ones... small piece for small girl'' she was like'' okay". she was reaching for the small one then suddenly change direction to take the big one! naughty esther. (:
Let me tell u that teachers have weird characters. (hope they wont read this) ms ho told jeanne that she wanted to meet the four of us": me angela colette and jeanne in the morning to discuss abt closing ceremony. so we waited for her infront of the finance office cos she was suppoed to go there.
we sat on the floor outside FO.
discussing abt script.
ms ho came, ''good location girls.'' with the straight forward look.
she entered the FO.
jeanne, so smart. she said'' why did she say that? was she being serious?''
colette: í think she was being sarcastic.
angela: ya, we were supposed to do our duty at BC!
me: omg, lets go to BC now, shucks. shes super angry.
*and we went to BC*
IN THE END, ms ho smsed jeanne to meet at LT. we found out that she was serious abt us choosing a gd location. cos she was really gonna walk past there. ms ho laughed! '' eh i praise you all leh! thats why i thought, eh how come i praise u all, then i came out the place was empty? u all ran away'' she was supeer funny. then we were focusing on our script when she suddenly she interrupted and said ''eh I GOT SWEET FOR U GUYS.'' *thew the Skittles at us.
the four of us stone, stared at her.
ms ho: eh why u all stare at me? open lah!
we: shook our heads
ms ho: eh i buy for u leh!
colette: is it supposed to be a test?
me: we arent supposed to eat here. are u trying to trick us?
ms ho: eh! what trick! i give u permission to eat!
angela: duwan, we'll get booked.
HAHAHA.
then jeanne, being the nicest one who dares to open it, said " aiya i open u eat lahh.''
ms ho laughed, then colette said'' aiya i open la then i eat.''
HAH SO WE ALL ATE. so funnnnnn!
WE GOT MUCH FREEEE FOOD. HAHA not being freeloader la pls! they come to me, so i receive with open arms. hahaha!
EHHHH
i just thought of smth to say!

Daphne: shes so lovable and cute:D/ shes so much taller than me. ):
Rinna: shes very nice and friendly, shorter than me/ shes lighter than me!
Janell: shes approachable/ shes super fast that i just hate to run with her HAHA
Hannah: she takes the same bus with me!/ im so jealous of her smooooth hair.
Janine: shes very cute when shes blur!/ i hate to see her skinny legs, so nice.
ahh i will continue the rest when i feel like doing it. im so tired, i slept for 1 1/2 hours during LWAC! AHAH BUT I HAD 16 HRS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT, SIXTEEEEEEN!

GAH.
School starting tmr and I havent finished my hw? Crap, thanks to my supergenius brain for the idea to come back to sch to take my hw on wed, when i was absent... ok initially i thought during the weekends i could do my hw so that i dont have to struggle during the weekdays but OHMYGOOSH, i still have to fill up this Methodist Walk card which i totally couldnt be bothered cos the long weekends are just so lovely that i have to slackslackslack.... but then again. its an anuual thing and my dad said that the money will go back to my own sch, which is true. but aiyo, im still sick la DEYYY. so another brilliant of mine, i asked my dad to donate, WHOO.
so he was like, " here's 32 bucks and fill it up with whatever names you can think of." wah superdad. Now i dont have to go around my house estate to collect donation? (: so like i wrote down my family members' names inlcuding my cat's. haha. cool.
Dr William Tan Challenge is really soon and my lovely MGS friends pls pls pls come and participate! You know I wonder how he can do it, like just go around the track for 24hrs non-stop. Wont he die? i know i would if i were to do it, for sure. but then he has gone around the continents for not sure how many days but he completed countless marathons!!!
wah im so amazed.
Thanks Daphne for the very encouraging heart-shaped letter you made for me! I JUSTJUSTJUST read it and right, Daphne. the handwriting is so yours ... :D
Whens Nationals this yr? When I hear the word Nationals i will freak out and be motivated to run well in the next trg but when the feeling is kept for too long, it will just float by in my mind.
And crossies, your Go Izati, you can do it! somehow isnt working for me anymore unfortunately, cos like im immuned to it la.
My first and last true race before Nationals is on 14 Feb and from now till then, I have to buck up and be at my peak.
Thats impossible.
I have abt 6 trgs to buck up and each trg matters.

This is for those ex-MGS and non-MGS ppl:

Dear Principal/Church Committee
Dear Principal/Church Committee
Love with a Cause
Born to a poverty-stricken family in 1957, Dr William Tan contracted polio at the age of two and became paralyzed waist down. Dr Tan, a brain scientist and medical doctor, is best known for his fund-raising efforts through wheelchair ultra marathons such as the GRAND SLAM world marathons. Over the last 18 years, he has helped raised more than S$18 million for various charity organizations. From being a preschool drop-out to a holder of a first-class honors degree in Physiology, Dr Tan channels his heart, mind and body into building a better world for the less fortunate in our society. Dr Tan is an accomplished sportsman and has raced across the world, struggled through the icy terrain of the Antarctic, and braved all manner of challenges to raise funds for numerous causes, such as in aid of polio-stricken patients, the disabled from Singapore’s Global Flying Hospitals and leukemia research.
In a valiant attempt to raise funds for children’s Cancer Research at NUS, Dr William Tan has volunteered his time, effort and strength to pull a cart around the track at Methodist Girls’ School (MGS). Dr Tan has also pledged to donate to “Grow-a-Seed Fund” at MGS. This 24-hour event held on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 of February, needs YOUR help to make the event a success. By helping us inform your school/church community about this fund-raising event, you will be aiding us greatly in the publicizing of ‘Love with a Cause’. In contributing $8 per ride in the cart, students/church members will undoubtedly be contributing towards Dr Tan’s labour of love and his effort to offer a brighter future for cancer-stricken children in Singapore. For the more athletic ones, they can also cheer Dr Tan on by running or rollerblading alongside him during his rounds on the track (families are also welcomed!). And never fear-far from being a boring event, this challenge promises to be an exciting, fun-filled experience that cannot be missed. Early registration for a ride with Dr Tan is strongly advised so as to avoid any disappointment! However, walk-in participants for the cart event are also welcomed. During the day, refreshments and snacks will be sold. There will also be a promotion, of Dr Tan’s book, “No Journey Too Tough”-a moving retelling of his life story. As Friendship Day coincides with this event, a song dedication booth will be set up for all to dedicate a special song to friends, family, or even Dr Tan, to encourage him on in his journey. So please help spread the word about ‘Love with a Cause’ to all in aid of Dr Tan’s fund-raiser event!
We hope that you will celebrate “Love with a Cause” with us to support Dr William Tan in his challenge to raise funds for the Childhood Cancer Research at NUS. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to email them to lovewithacause@gmail.com. All compilations of response slips/names of participants collected back by the school/church are required to be sent in to lovewithacause@gmail.com by Wednesday 4 February. We look forward to seeing your school/church community at ‘Love with a Cause’! Thank you for your kind support and cooperation.
