We bow our hearts
We bend our knees
Oh spirit come make us humble
we turn our eyes from evil things
oh Lord we cast down our idols

give us clean hands
give us pure hearts
let us not lift our souls to another
give us clean hands
give pure hearts
let us not lift our souls to another

O God let us be a generation that seeks
that seeks your face O God of Jacob

all the best for the race on sat xies
and netties! u guys, i'm sure, will make ur mark tmr =) just do ur best and place ur trust in the Lord

go team mg!

God is good, all the time
all the time, God is good!

i've learnt how to except things the way they are and i'm starting to love math all over again xD mr ling is so smart. and tricia also! =)

fifty four more days
how are u guys looking at it?

on a personal note, what on earth was wrong with u people today?! i mean, yea 1)mr ng isn't here..2)rachael and jen have some (stupid) enriching geography thing to go to and 3)we were given such a CHAO SUPER EASY workout.

1) it's quite normal for a student to be quite happy over a coach's absence. but our coach is sick..eh hello, SICK ok. and we only have less than 1 1/2 more mths to IT? we shld be praying for him that he'll have a speedy recovery, get back to his feet and train us
2) it's perfectly normal and great to have that opportunity to further your knowledge in geog =) [though u guys looked so reluctant to go..or rather to leave us]
3)ARRGHH!!!! it's not even running??! it's...jogging?! like u know, jog.. taking your time to place one foot in front of another. that's it! today's trg does not even require all your muscles in your body to ache. and..(sorry to say this)u guys wanted to WALK?! personally, i'm so amazed that you guys are so laidback. like, "oh *flutter hands around* it's just nationals. we're pro runners. we'll get top positions. we're pro. God is gonna give us the strength so we dont need to train so hard. what can possibly happen?" ok i exaggerated.blame it on my imagination. yea God will help us..but we shld do our part too. if not everybody will just be excelling in life. but seriously, i thought today's workout wld be twice as long or smth. n u guys even whined about wanting to walk e workout. i'm appalled by your words. you guys are super confident i must say. i should learn from u guys to be so cool and collected about brain wrecking stuff like nationals.

anyway thanks for the memorable training today :)

on the contrary, i think the sec1s are quite nice XD after the run, they all were standing in one straight semi circle row facing the, ahem, seniors while we were silently stretching. i found that so...adorable. innocence of just graduated primary sch kids. oh and before i forget, it's a different story when they open their mouths.

i think the sec1s and sec2s are worlds apart. training with the two different grps in one day seemed like two completely different trgs. one was soo quiet, and when talking, talks about 'intellectual stuff' while the other one crazy la. run so fast..i thought u guys wanted to WALK? your actions and words were as different as the north and south pole.

training in the rain had nvr been so much fun too! hahahaha..it was my first slack training in the rain and i looove the feeling such time a perspire+rainwater drips down my chin. it seemed that each drop represented how much effort i was putting in trg just to break the perspire off the surface of my skin.

quiet, conservative people think a lot more than loud people. their thoughts are more vivid and their thinking is really complex. i'm gonna shut my mouth more. wait. i'll TRY.

so...53 more days to nationals. i sincerely hope u guys will *switch modes* and focus more in training ya? 53 more days of -myliferevolvesaroundXCOUNTRYandxcountryandXcountryalone- okokok? nobody likes to take part in a competition they're not prepared or in top form for. so buck up and trust in the Lord! (i didnt believe mr ng one bit when he said we're progressing on well. i feel that we're kinda more relaxed than last yr and...i dont feel as..ah push away negative thoughts!!)

i'm not sad over my lousy rubbish marks. i know the Lord has a plan for me. for you and for everyone. lowest in her class? so what. God still loves me! xP

You are the way, the truth and the light
We live by FAITH and not by sight for you
We're living ALL for you

let's go mg

since i've chosen this route, i'll respect my old history self and continue with life. i WILL give my best each time during training so i'll not regret it. i WILL look towards my goal and press on. i WILL seek the Lord for strength when i'm weary. i WILL i WILL i WILL. no ifs or buts

sometimes i wished i nvr had joined cross

but there's no turning back now

hey guys. so i'm right. i've been talking cock last night =) i made the trip all the way here to my computer to tell u guys i'm sorry. if u guys haven't read my previous entry, DON'T! haha..

the team really did very well today. really really well. and for those who didnt finish the workout, am pissed with the freaking molten track for being so soft so much so that u need more pressure to overcome the friction of it, blame it on the greenhouse effect! and if u dont get my previous sentence, ask charissa. i'm just repeating what she said.

i loved the last part where we just screamed our lungs out after that great workout! but i found rach's + my voice so squeakily high. hahaha oh well! heck man. i'm so proud of myself today. and obviously, of the rest of the team!

mgx! keep up the cheerleading spirit man! i rmb hearing dan's cheerings for char and me. woah really pushed me a lot knowing there's someone looking at me run haha. then pressured to run faster. thanks for cheering today ya! keep screaming and shouting for the team. it relieves stress too and works ur stomach muscles. then can get ABS.

special thanks to charissa ong too! =D she stood(ran) by me for the whole entire workout and kept asking if she shld slow down. MAN! charissa i wanted to tell u but i forgot. you're just naturally fast so dont think you're running too fast and wont have enough energy to finish the rest of the workout when you're way in front of me. that's where u belong man. but hey! i'll train harder and try to run next to u so u wont feel 'so extra lah!' hahaha.

jing! dont feel so sad abt today's trg :) you're just sick. but it's alright man. after cny, jing will pull up her shoes and burn the track again. rest well for now!

living each day with no regrets
doing my 101% in all i do
rejoicing in the Lord always!
-3 things-

tmr's friday. so what do i do? go for gb meeting again and be superficial? i dont think it's fair to the other gb people, officers, teachers, and myself..including God. maybe i'll write a letter by next next wk, after obs. i hate doing things half way and having to bluff through my teeth that 'i'm not very sure whether i'm quitting gb'. it sucks. sorry guys. but u really mean the world to me..ok part of the world. esp the skylarkians. u guys were always there for me and nvr once had you all forsaken me..during gb meetings that is. heh

Prefect's Installation 2005. congrats to all u prefects out there =)

while singing 'bless this sch' (it's really stupid) but yvonne told me she doesn't have to look at the lyrics anymore since it's already her 9th time singing it. and i thought abt the retrospect of the past few yrs (9yrs?) sec3 already man... NINETH yr in mgs. wow wow wow wow. was just pondering what life wld be like when i graduate from here. where wld i move off to? where will i heading towards? what wld i do with my life? where wld i be working at? so many graduated seniors told me they miss this (stupid boring) sch and yearn to go back. is mgs really a very secure, protected, lovable place? i didnt really ponder over it. but i guess i shld. i left abt...1 yr and 7 more mths in this sch. sigh! i better enjoy every single day in sch :) actually i am enjoying sch. kind of lah..i adore e x pple =) i feel so attached to this team. i dont know what i'll do without u guys. i'll miss trg with mgx after sec4>.< i dont even know if i'll cont training in jc. like renuka and esther =D i love u guys!

feel like ending with this:
Life is the hardest teacher
Who first gives the test
Then comes the lessons
Which we must digest

extracted it from someone's blog =)
if u come here, thanks!

oh yea! c div netties
great job done todaaaaaay!!!! continue winning schs after schs and win the championship title k! =D

i shall place my trust in God and not think too much

i used to look forward to trg cos i found sch a real chore and it was really stressful.

juniors just came in on monday. guess what..i'm starting to look forward to sch.

sigh. eunice is gone. so many others are gone too. i still cant believe HE had to make that decision. sigh sigh sigh. i miss u. i really miss all of u that arent here for trg. without u guys, mgx isnt a complete team =( it's gonna be tough going on the journey alone. oh well. now to handle the sec1s.....sigh. STRESSED LAH.

nvm there's still studies and God to lean on! and i just saw a super amusing version2 of some song on x. haha! xies really have a lot of imagination and are really GOOD song writers =D whatever they're called. we've been editing many songs. it's time we been given professional training. we shld start venturing into that area and not just run all day long

sch is a lot pressurising compared to sec2 now... i think i'm quite determined to quit gb. it's just a matter of how i'm going to put that fact across in front of the teachers' faces. they saw me grew up from p2 to sec3. it's like, they were the ones that saw me, moulded me, guided me to be what a person i am now. then when i have my character moulded and corrected, i leave the family that i had been leaning and learning from. it's like, so..betray-ish? but do i really have a choice? sheeeeeeeet. i feel super female dog now. ok gb aside.

X NATIONALS. i think mgs rocks la..but do they have to put interhouse track SO CLOSE to natls?! what the heck man. it's like...heats few days b4 nationals. then finals are 2 days AFTER nationals. yes. we runners need no rest cos we're robots technically for running -.- what crap. e 12 chosen pple are gonna be so drained out man. actually, it's everybody in x that is gonna be drained out. the one for all, all for one policy really is a trait in x. even if we're not gonna represent sch for nationals, we still get as hard workouts as the pple that are running. then when the season is off, we cool down and running becomes a leisure. oh yea! this wk's trg has been rocking my shoes man. we still run till we're so tired to even breathe properly but in the really fun way. yay! ok x natls 13th april. route is 3.67km. rmbed that. shld i join 800m =D or 3000m. OH WAIT. i dont feel like joining 3000m anymore..it's so xies. but then i'll be so xtra if i dont join >.< thing ="D">

n today's swimming meeting is horrible and painful. they just had to remind me to start trg again. i dont wannt 135run and 246swim. cos 1stly, i'd die. 2ndly, i dont want to go ALL E WAY to sicc to train and die. 3rdly, it's so malu to go back to train. mrs ong's THREE-is-good answering method. i'm putting what she says to use.

arrghh. i prob shldnt have joined x in sec1? and i shld have reasoned out with my dad that i shldnt stop swimming cos of psle. sigh. cant help it. xcountry has captured my heart.

God bless and all the best in sch!
