rv carrots rock my everyday :D

12 april was a big day for the carrots.yes.nationals sch xc champs.i'll like to blog abt that day first b4 saying how i feel and stuff.

so we came out at 10am.ate sth light and went to change to track suit and slept.i felt super scared that time cuz i wasn't reali sure whether i wanted to run or not.however,i carried on with the thought that i'll shine.at 12,we wore our full track suit and went to the canteen for lunch.the teachers looked at us like some kinda stars la.damn funny.they were discussing abt it within themselves at the teachers' tables.anw,we set off at 1 plus after msek talked to us.reached turf city at 130 ard there.did the usual stuff like finding a place to rest and going to the toilets to shit and pee.that's lame.

c boys went off first,followed by c girls,then b boys,and then b girls.i hate to b the last in the team to race.i liked it better last yr when we raced first cuz we'll get to c the others race.so ya.

b girls reported at ard 410.race started at 430.so we lined up in position 9.we flagged off soon.i started steadily,making sure not to over exert myself since there was the slope to deal with.i looked ard for carrots and spotted leena.i told myself that if i were to run well,leena would b my target.i followed her butt.my eyes nvr left her butt.(haha)cuz that's what mrlee said.follw the butt and run well.the slope was tedious,no doubt abt that.i felt almost dead at the top of the slope as i sprinted down another one,leading me to the pancake flat tarmac road.i dunno y la,but i saw the whole bunch of competitors running on the right side of the road.the left side was damn empty and so i ran on the left.i picked up pace steadily and caught up with leena at the bend to the grass patch.i was damn happy but slowly,i started to lag behind.it was diff to kp up with hiong kia la,cuz she was fast.she chased many and was the first to come in for rv.i dunno my timing but i think i ran 16 plus.i was super satisfied.i also worked on my home stretch where i sprinted like there's no tmr.after i reached the finishing line,i cried.i cried.those were tears of joy cuz everything finally ended.emilynoob came and brought water for me to drink.YAY!ps and fann waited for me outside.i walked out with a sense of achievement,thinking that this season was indeed a fruitful one.

disappointed as i was,i did not blame anyone for the results.i told myself that if there was anyone to blame,it would be the team itself.if the team won sth,it was the team,the 8 who contributed to the victory.although we din win anyth,we ACHIEVED sth.we came in close tgt.and that was sth which we felt reali happy abt.nvm abt the medals and trophy,we had achieved our goal as A TEAM.like what the noob said on her blog,if u had reached yr limits,that was it.i mean,no matter how hard u try to push yourself,yr limits will still be there.but many said to challenge yrself,challenge yr limits.that's possible.if i were to surpass my limits,i would be glad,happy,satisfied and accomplished.oh yes.CONGRATS TO YUXIN WHO GOT 20TH POSITION IN C DIV GIRLS INDIV!

to the c girls hu read this:u do not have to feel guilty abt anything okay?if u feel disappointed,that's perfectly normal.but pls dun blame yrself for the whole year.the race was alr over,no use frowning over it,feeling guilty abt it anymore.the past c div girls DO NOT blame u for not coming in 1st,2nd,3rd or whatever shit.we are more than glad that u have alr tried yr best.i noe this is the first time u are taking part in such a impt race.but what matters is tat u brought home sth,that is nvr ever giving up.i've seen u girls hyperventilating during trgs,crying when u cannot keep up with the sets/intervals.and then i wonder to myself once,y r u all working so hard?i came up with an answer on 12 april.u all wanted to bring home sth tangible,sth worth being proud of,sth like a medal,a trophy.pls,dun ever think the seniors blame u.u have done yr best,that's what matters.u had run ur life out.that's what matters.okay?cheer up and we'll show them what carrots are actually made of next year when u all join b div.not just juice and fibre,carrots are made of strength.

this year's nats dun seeem to hav that kinda ambience like last yr.i jus feel different.i dunno why though.

mid year's ard the corner and i hate it.

this is a super long post.haha.

***CARROTS.LET'S BOUNCE BACK NEXT YEAR AND SHOW THEM WHAT WE ARE MADE OF.NOT JUST JUICE AND FIBRE,CARROTS ARE MADE OF STRENGTH***

sch was hectic as ever and i dun feel good abt it.nationals is approaching like next week which is pretty soon.mrtan and mrlee hasn't confirmed the six who will be running yet.anw,had trg today at turf which was a bit hiong.cuz we picked up our pace 3 times during that 3.7km run.it wasn't easy,but i tried.i din want to let myself down again.i worked on my home stretch and i think i did it today.i felt accomplished :D

tests last week were okay.history was not good.bio was fine but i made stupid mistakes.chem was okay but i cant gauge my score for it.so HECK and i'll see how i fare.mid yr is round the fing corner and i dun like it.everything is pushed 1 week backward.sec 3s mid yr will end on 28/4 which is super early can.like a sian la.after that,i'll be goin to obs with frens and i hope it better be fun.i'm missing the highlight of rv life,sec 3 adventure camp.okay la,mrtan scared we get injured or sick,so din wan us to go.nationals is definitely more impt.

goin for social mtg tmr at yujia's house.the only sec 3s going are janice and i only la.the others all go camp leaders' trg at changi.haha.plus the senior citizens(sec 4s) and sec 2s.

charlene created a new term for mugging,which is drinking water.according to fagort,charlene said so cuz u use a mug to drink water.that's lame.but anw,i just followed it.hehe.

i was talking to one of my juniors on friday when we were going home after self-trg.she said that ip was stressful.tb not used.many many notes given.reflections written every week.projects given frequently.learning abt stocks and cpf in maths class.havin 'effective communications' and 'dance' in their timetables.omg.spare me.i would nvr like these.
