Determined. ;D / 12.7.09
I’ve learnt to takes things lightly ever since I entered VJC. Not only towards academics, more importantly, sports. Daddy decided that I didn’t have to work so hard in my sports. Just at the right time, I got pushed by some girl during cross country, which caused me a fracture at an angulated part of my wrist. It’s quite unique, I must say, and the doctor said I would have some deformity or something like that in my left wrist.

I remembered (oh sheez, I needa shit, but I’m in the car right now ;D) crying real bad when I felt extreme pain in my left wrist. I remembered that after I fell down, people stepped on my glasses. I remembered persevering. I remembered picking myself up, as I continued running. It was quite a painful experience, but I’m sure that not many people would’ve gone through such an experience, and I’m glad to say that, it’s a good thing that this happened. It made me realise how determined I am in running, the spirit I have in myself. However, as I ran over the bridge, I couldn’t take the pain any longer, it was pretty much unbearable. (a comment here. The first aid people are useless, I have no idea what to do with me. They couldn’t even comfort me. And I was quite sure they didn’t know how much pain I felt. They were pretty much useless. Sorry for that.) I stopped and rested there. I saw my other classmates, looking at me while was sitting down, and I felt good. Though it was really painful. I was having spasms. I couldn’t stand up, cause I would feel like fainting. After I rested enough, I tried standing up, so that I could walk back to the school, but my limbs were too weak to, I couldn’t even stand up properly. At that time, the only thing I could think of was my upcoming competitions. One more month to inter school cross country, a little bit more than a month to prepare for biathlon. 2 more months to inter school swimming. I really didn’t know how to react. Then, my cross coach comforted me by saying that there isn’t any swelling, so it shouldn’t be a fracture. As I had to go over the bridge, back to school, (but I had no strength to even walk) my coach carried me on her back, and she ran. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE, THANK YOU MS NG! Haha, then dawn made me laugh a little after that, cause she said she couldn’t catch up with ms ng, when walking/running over the bridge. Later, my form teacher took over, and carried me to the ambulance corner. And the guy gave me some thing to inhale, and he wrapped my wrist. But when I got to the hospital, the doctor shaked his head. “tsk tsk tsk, who help you wrap one ah?” HAHAHA, he’s good. I’ve been with him for almost a year now, so yeah. But I still prefer Dr Roger Tian. :D

So during my 3 months of rest and recuperation, I gained some weight, and I was also hoping that all my previous injuries would have healed. (it includes my knee injury, my cold shoulder, and my forearm injury) But I was wrong. I still experienced some pain during the trainings in June Holiday. That’s why I decided to go for morning trainings only. And that’s also the reason why I try to relax while swimming, not to give myself unnecessary pressure. Because I know that, if I try to swim fast, my arms will be in pain, and I don’t want that to happen. So, counting, I’ve had the arm injuries for a year now, and it only went away like 2 weeks before last year’s interschool comp. But I came back after the competition.

I’ve received comments about my putting on of weight, and I’ve became, gradually, more conscious about my thighs, and etc. Hahaha, it’s quite saddening to know that your thighs are bigger. But they’re not bigger because they’re muscles, but because they’re fats. My body’s a lipid depot, so yeah, you get the idea. Today, I realised how important strengthening is. So, I’m going to set aside some time for strengthening, at the expense of giving up my English tuition. :( I still think I need to lose some weight. With my converse shoes, I took my weight at the hospital yesterday, and it was 40.5 kg. So I’m around 40 kg, which is quite good. I hope I can maintain that weight, for like another 6 months.

There’s one more very important thing I need to mention, besides me the only one in class who haven’t done any homework yet. It concerns the review tests. This past 5 weeks have been quite a fulfilling one for me, despite me getting hooked onto Fahrenheit and hana kimi. And there are many people I would like to thank, people who’ve helped me in many ways, either through encouragements, or helping me with my work. So here they are:

Dawnie Seow
Dawnie seow! AIYA, don’t be depressed okay! Everyone’s feeling the same. Besides, I still have like a huge pile of homework left undone, so I’m super doomed. :O Yes, you’ve always been my “encourager” and my “pusher”. So, how can you cry?! You’re the cheerful one! Please!

Cat, the bear has cat ears!
Hmm, thanks for answering my questions, and well making me feel better over the phone, although you may not know it. And congrats on the award! + don’t say that your results are not good. Come on!

Boss Andrew/chee yang
HAH, I must say you’ve really helped me a lot, and I mean A LOT. Don’t be depressed over the math rt okay! I’m sure you’ll do fine! ;D

Le Yuan prime
(I know you wont see this) But still, haha, whee we’re sitting in the same table! Means I’m going to share seats with you! Oh and your Indian accent! Thanks for helping me with my chemistry, and other subjects, but less of those.

Hmm well, and other people such as Zhen Ting, Maryanne, Andrew, Yan, Girlfriend, for helping me out! Thank you.

Okay, I finally feel at ease.

Oh yes, I’ve been watching hana kimi over the past two days. I feel that I can relate a lot to it. In terms of sports. The Quan in the show is currently trying to get himself back into high jump, and he’s challenged by his arch rival. It kind of inspired me to work hard to get myself back into form, be it running or swimming. (Okay, running’s like totally OFF.) He’s got some knee injury, and despite that, he still continued jumping. That’s the kind of spirit I want to see in myself! (not the injury part, cause I’ve been doing that for one whole year, and in the end, my injury still hasn’t healed) I’m determined.
