Hi guys.
The 4X100 Relays Heats were held today.I must say that I was shocked that my team qualified into the finals with the best timing, as we weren't meant to be. A team that comprised of a hurdler, a gymanst, a long dist runner, and a thrower. LOL.
I was desperately finding a pair of spike shoes before my relay, as i was wearing a pair of bloodi basketball shoes that weigh a ton, but to no avail. I was size 12... almost everyone was wearing a size 9 shoe, only 2 or 3 wore a size 10 shoe. bloodi. hell... so i had to run with the elephant shoes.
And they placed me as the last runner when i am only the 2nd fastest in the team, in terms of speed (fastest was no doubt lawerence chan, the hurdler) ...I Dunno why they put me as last runner for... they claim that it was a strategy haha. When I got the baton I just blasted like a crap shit. Could feel that my technique was really screwed up haha..
it was bloodi pressurizing, as the last runners of the other lanes were all sprinters with proper spike shoes. One look at me the audience could tell that the king kong wearing basketball shoes was no doubt a thrower who literally tore the track apart by running in such an explosive and violent manner, without ani proper technique. Perhaps I was too heavy, and my feet was too big for sprinting, but after all i came into track becauz of my running initially, not my throwing ;) maybe i have some genes in running haha!
.aniwae i juz whacked, attempted to do my best with my weakened ankle, and we all came in first. My teammates had good coordination, and they were pretty focused as such they had contributed greatly to this success. (:
and.....I felt a little strain in my ankle after the 100 metres. but nvm.
heres the most interesting part

GOOD DAY one and all. After a series of excruciating attempts, I have finally proven the theory that stupidity is indeed boundless. Upon analysing the actions and feelings of an exceptionally f**ked up individual, I have discovered that there has been a remarkable breakthrough in the degree of stupidity that could possible be displayed by humans. The degree of stupidity is so overwhelming, that it is way beyond the horizon of present knowledge to investigate the reasons behind this unexplainable phenomenon.
Perhaps you are under the impression that I am a highly intelligent individual,perfect and flawless, who just can't help but reject those who are way inferior to me in terms of intelligence. Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. CAUZ I am actually a dumbass and I do not have the right to criticize others. So how did I exactly came out with the conclusion human beings have created new boundaries for the degree of stupid, and more importantly which lucky individual was the one who made this possible? The answer could be found in the next paragraph.
It is through SELF-REFLECTION AND REALIZATION
Once there was a dedicated dumb ass who trained realli hard in his field event. On the 11th of April 2005 Monday, A competition was supposed to be held in school. However, due to a heavy rain the competiton was postponed to Thursday. The guy was pretty disappointed, for he has been looking forward to this date for quite some time. The competitors left and went home, but this dumbass went to embark on an intensive weights training session instead, thinking that this would further increase his chance of winning on the competition date. Sadly he overtrained, and a torrent of injuries followed. His chance of winning the competition was actually one of the highest, but because of this incident, it has reduced to 0%. In the end he competed today, got only third, and worsened his injury.
this f**ker is just so f**king stupid.

Today marks the day of a new beginning.... well perhaps not a very good day to begin with.
Initially, I was supposed to take part in the sportsday competition for my throwing event today, but unfortunately there was a heavy downpour. Damn, you couldn't imagine how shittified i felt. I have fully prepared myself, mentally and physically, to give my best shot, and yet my fate is controlled by an uncontrollable factor, the freaking weather. tmd. As such, the competition is postponed to Thursday 4.30p.m. and I'll have to wait and just hope for the best.
Though I have lost out so much...because of my injury. And I am currently still injured ... Though others have said that i would not make it again..... I shall fight.....I wunt surrender until i have put in my best effort. I will never be defeated by myself.
I have thought over and over again.... is it worth paying so much attention to friendships which aren't mutual? All the pain will only intensify as time goes by... I guess sometimes we people care too much about such relationships. When you have such a mentality,your mood and state of mind will totally be dependent on how your friends treat you. Why would you leave the remote control for your life in the hands of your friends? especially friends that have made u felt depressed, whether directly or indirectly? I have seen enough of this crap... from now on the control will remain in my hands. Clinging on to a one-sided friendship would never improve the situation. It only makes matters worst. Lead a life that is based on your own principles...and not a life that is based on your friends.
Ppl..... i have decided to go full blast on my training. In other words I will be growing even bigger den what i was in sec 2, which will inevitably give me a scarier outlook. And I will be sacrificing my social life to balance my training and studies.
Sacrifice. You have to do it in order to achieve your goals, your dreams.
For those who have been constantly keeping in contact with me, thank you for being a part of my life, thank you for all your invaluable advise. I will try my best to catch up with ya from time to time (: , i promise.
As for now.... my greatest concern is actually my injury. will it worsen or not.? i have to be really careful and know my limits. I have suffered too much too much. I really hope history will never repeat itself again.
Nationals will be in July. I guess after the competitions I will put in my 110% effort to trim down, haha dun wanna be a brock lesnar. yea and life shld resume as per normal i hope?
what i try to do might not be what I'm able to do.
a morning glory in your presence...

hmmmm the National Junior Athletic Championships is finally over... haha.. the pressure is off and i'm feel much better now. Four years after i stepped into the game, I finally learnt how to accept defeat and move on in life. Accepting a defeat graciously is the one of the most precious lessons I have ever learnt. I attained second in this comp. Nevertheless I had strived to do my best.
Perhaps i could have performed better and emerge as the champion instead? perhaps I could have thrashed everyone flat if I had not been injured in the first place? Hundreds of could have. There is no point looking back anymore, finding excuses for your defeat.
The champion deserved it. he was none other den scott wong, my closest training partner in school. I guessed we did put on a really great fight. haha. I though i have won the competition, until the last ball, he suddenly got a good grasp of his technique and blasted a 14.52metres. beating me by 3 cm. haha.. well at least it is my good friend who won it, and not some other guy :P
1st Scott: 13.12, 12.20, 12.10, 14.52
2nd Me: 12.33, 13.44, 14.24, 14.49
3rd Renhao: 11.33, 11.21, 12+, 13.34
4th Poon: 11.51, fault, 13.21, 12.22
5th Jon: 11.6, 12.1, 12.2, 12.6
good job team in attaining the first 5 positions. We are really bastards man. swept awae all the positions ;)
My teamates and coach didn't expect me to throw such a distance, mainly because i have been injured for an extremely long period time. Even i have only expected myself to hit a 12m. Well seems like it all went pretty well instead.
In 3 mths time, it would be the Nationals.
My technique is totally horrendous, I have totally lost it ever since i had this injury... all i am currently relying on is my strength. I gotta find a way to improve it...
Track and field... It has been my passion ever since I was sec 1.
I fought really really hard for my goal with perserverence and determination, and finally achieved it in sec 2.
I was overwhelmmed with joy.
The day after the nationals, I spent no time in resting.
Instead I continued training. I looked forward and set an audacious goal for myself.
as a result - I overtrained and suffered a really bad injury..
Pain and regret is all i felt.why have i been so foolish?
For 1 3/4 yrs i suffered in silence.
my dreams are shattered to billions of pieces.
It wasn't easy to withstand the pain of falling straight down to the ground, after spending all your effort climbing up to the highest point of a ladder.
Shattered as i may be... i slowly learnt...important lessons..many lessons...most importantly, Winning is not everything.
I attempt to stand up again.
Though with bones and joints twice as weak as before, but with a mind and heart twice as strong as before.
Once again... i will climb to the top again.
