A fool repeats his mistakes. A smart man learns from his mistakes.
But a genius learns from the mistakes of others.
today's mizuno was quite bad. thankfully twas just a 'fun run'. paced with rachel and i think i wasn't doing my job very well. i prob made her slow down a lot. we got so bored of running, our strides became smaller and smaller till we were 'jogging' for one period of time( at least from my point of view). i dont rmb anything much abt the run except one qn from her :" are we reaching yet?" "yes. rmb that bus stop opp.?" i really thought we were finishing in 200m. turned out to be abt a km more. i hope she doesnt rmb a thing abt that. hahaha then we caught up w darinne(slacker); i dont know why but i had this urge to slow down with her. then when merrilyn suddenly overtook us, SHOOTS MR QUEK IS COMING!! (it was a false alarm. he was abt 2-3min away) darinne SPRINTED off and kept turning back 'come on tiff! come on ! catch up!' siao liao. it was an uphill lor.yao wo de ming. she did 300m in 59s.
sch tmr! yay. hahahaha

Flirtatious Father
Joe burst into the living room and said, "Dad, Mom, I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, Joe's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you.. Your mother and I have been married 30 years. She's a wonderful wife but she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot. Susan is actually your half-sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her."
Joe was heart-broken.
After eight months he eventually started dating girls again.
A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Dianne said yes! We are getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half-sister too, Joe, I am very sorry about this."
Joe was furious!
He finally decided to go to his mother with the news. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I am never going to get married", he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half-sister."
His mother just shook her head. "Don't pay any attention to what he says, dear. He's not really your father.
HAHAHAHA. ok that's not a very edifying story but it's hilarious man. school today was okay until recess but complaining to zhiwei(i think that's her name) helped me cool down a lot :) thanks! she's a good listener.maybe she can overtake wangwang's role =P jk!! i was seething with anger until i went nuts. amanda and jasvir and nicng started playing slapping games(it's not as erotic as it sounds) while teo watched in agony and i eat chicken bryani(whtevr e spelling) then 5 of us went to celebrate the madness of the rain (i'm trying to rearrange the 'it's raining mad' song title) too bad jas was in sch u :D and teo was too embarrassed, as usual. today was a good prefect day. i booked nicng for socks and audrey for eating in class (she was mad la; ate in front of me) it's a record! but i also got booked late for sch. shiyan cautioned me that if im late for sch too many times in rj, i'll get suspended. that's nuts scary.

22 22 22 22. ugh. fine so you DO have the liability to say that. go on. 22. >: (i'd say you are saying the pts i'd get for o's twice. but i can only minus max 2pts for cca. then again 6 pts? hahaha. but it's still early . in dec05, if you told me 6th place? noway. HAHA. but came apr06 and yay. ya... it's only july now ;) (gosh i am good at convincing myself)

HAHAHA. i just received an sms from ahgong ,"you can be a chef" haha! aiyooo. i only helped him 'supervise' the making of pizzas for the youth sunday this morn. sister and faye were the ones making it. i brought it to the oven, took it out when i felt like it. and transported it to joel who would cut it. then i cont eating my nasi lemak. joel made a ham and carbon pizza when we left to watch the choir upstairs. see.guys ARE goners without girls. HA. but who cares. the choir is AWESOME:) lovely voices

firstly, CONGRATS MG SWIM TEAM !
B div 4th
C div 2nd
great job! continue striving for greater heights team! sorry i couldn't go down to support, i had english prelims oral.
i am doing some spring cleaning in my e-mail inbox now. (YA AND I WENT FOR MASSAGE JUST NOW. OH MY GOODNESS I WAS SQUIRMING ALL OVER MY CHAIR EACH TIME HE RUBBED OVER THE SWOLLEN PART OF MY ANKLE. HIS RESPONSE? A SMILE(I CHOOSE TO SEE IT AS A SMIRK). SO SADISTIC:( AND MASSAGING THE CALF IS THE WORSTTTTTT I'VE TO SEE HIM AGAIN TMR..) yes i have that many e-mails. and i realise
1)how sentimental i am...i actually don't delete e-mails that have not much content but just because of one encouraging phrase from the sender(eg. thanks , my dear. shall we remember this together and keep reminding ourselves?), they earned a place in my inbox.
2)i've 'spring cleaned' my inbox abt a million times and i know the contents of the e-mails just by looking at the sender's name and the subject (except for mrq's lah. his e-mails are overwhelming in no.)
(too bad if i'm boring you =p i'm feeling very reflective now)
a particular email:
I'm training now at race pace with rest; wouldn't it be worse when we run w/o rest?
In a race, you will be performing at a different "state" - both physically and psychologically. It happened to many others before. They were able to perform what they were not able to do in training. Even your cross country nationals, you were performning above your training standard.
1)i was feeling so damn good during nationals. i can show you my prove-->ya, sarah, it's the pic of me smiling. but i look constipated. well, that's cos in reality, i was RACING. but when they were preparing their cameras, i grinned; i thought they were taking the picture alr.. haiyah nvr say ' 1 2 3 smile' so i dont know when to smile.
2)i dont know what the hell happened. everything just fell into place. including my mentality(!!) before mrng left, he told me the analogy abt thoughts of a champion. charissa shared it with e team abt it too. i was just feeling that man. no sweat. (ok lah maybe it was kinda too ego a thought =p)
3)TURF CITY IS BEAUTIFUL (it's just like how you always want to impress someone you like. same situation now, just that turfcity is someone)
and then yeah it's the same old line again, i miss mr ng. i was reading an email he sent to me just before cross nationals. rather nostalgic; it brought me back to my lower sec days when mr ng focused a lot on RUNNING FOR CHRIST. now, the running for christ phrase seems rather...superficial. at least for me. it's more like i run for mrq,or run to prove to him. haha come to think about it, theres nth much to prove actually...
"do the race with god in your mind....heart....remembering that you can do absolutely nothing....except thru Christ who strengthens you
although I have not been around...i sense that this year you guys are more prepared than any years before...and I am excited to know the outcome....HMMMM....words of whatever....i guess i ran out of them....no...just want to tell eveyone that those who have the will to train and prepare....and have toiled thru the months of training...you have been picked to represent the school...and your friends...so if you have trained hard for this race....go out there and run to the capacity that you ahve trained yourself to run...nothing less...but something more....for yourself ..for the team....for God....and especially the Sec 4... for MGS....
if i only could...i will fly back to watch the race...i miss all of you very much...how are the sec 1s... good bunch??...please update me on the results...I have been praying for all of you... not everyday...but whenever I miss you guys... and that is quite often....(how sweet is that? :) )
God bless and keep all of you....RUN FOR GOD.....HE IS WITH YOU ALWAYS.

words of wisdom that has finally hit me (cos track has just ended so i've no excuse NOT to not think abt studies) ;
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
i know u probably heard this from a lot of ppl but im gonna tell u anyway that o levels is so much easier than a levels
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
there's a million less things to study
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
hahaha
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
oh oh and i used to think social studies was the worst killer paper ever till i had to take GP
rrrrrrrrrrock. says:
YUCKS!!
i love her. hahaha she has been through exactly what i am going through now! yay. just that her results and mine are really different.
i made a new friend today at tkd (yes, i went back so i can get my black belt by this weekend). he's p2 in nanhua called ASHTON. gosh such a cool name. and hes a real charmer :) he kept turning to smile at me. (maybe it was to his mum..heck) if only my brother was as guai as him.
track finals was an experience; true experience. i guess as what my friends say, it's not about the medal but lessons you bring back home. 'so many mg girls were supporting their hero'. haaha thanks for making my day :)
it's not about me. it's abt Him
