WOOTS it's been 1.5 months yo.

been missing couple of trgs during the mye. yea everything has gone worse. my academic results n track as well. plus contracted some sore eye virus which forced me to miss more trgs. which will then explain why i did so badly for e all comers trial run on sun. )=

anyway we did relay trg today! like FINALLY HAHA! wasnt really tt smooth but well all of e relay members will work on it ((: yupp. ohoh get my new spikes as well. BLUE BLUE BLUE STRIKING SHINY BLUE SPIKES =/. hopefully it will bring me to further improvement in terms of timing n technique.

n jiayuan is back. hahas.

CONGRATS SZE MIN FOR COMING IN 1ST IN 100H
AND SITI TOO FOR COMING IN THIRD
AND FINALLY ME FOR COMING IN SECOND IN 400M from the back hurh hurh

hahaha anyway i wasnt that sad after all. and my finals timing was like 2 sec slower than my heats =/ zzz. yea i guess i wasnt focused enough and yea i practicallly just went there and run producing such WOW result tsktsk :P

2007-04-11T07:43:00.000-07:00

pathetically i was the only sec 4 who went for today's trg at the stadium.

haha but trg was considered kind of fun; rahimah amanda and i did intervals in preparation for 400m this sat... until...

it's like a bowling ball crashing into the bowling pins
this person who dont even know the simple rule of running on a track suddenly came right into my lane and WHAM!
and the best part was i was running behind or close beside him on another lane and i m clueless what in the world was he thinking to actually change his jogging lane

and wow he's a student; not as if he's an old man or sth...but well old man does have a better sense of direction. godness gracious...

for a moment i was running and the next thing was i found myself on the ground.
i think my left shoulder gained the impact followed by my chin and cheek. so yea i think i fell side ways

after which i got up with my cheek and chin feeling so soar. and WOW! he was standing there looking at me. and for about 5 sec i was staring at him caused i felt darn angry (well i dont why too). and maybe at that pt in time i felt like punching his face hurh hurh. i think he apologised but SEE i dont really remember so it's no sincere =@ but i knew he was scared haha

hmmm then i started walking to rahimah and i dont knw why i wanted to cry. but i didnt la haha. hmm maybe i was afraid that i will be disfigured. but luckily there's only a slight wound on my chin and on my shoulder.

ok this incident pissed me off. and a junior of mine lost a part of my watch. as in the part where you slide the strap of the watch in )=. sigh. and back at home i nearly blasted at my sis-irritating evil germy person who intends to spread her virus to me >:[

i had a bad day...

2007-04-08T21:56:00.001-07:00

nat juniors has commenced

as expected i seroiusly under performed

take a look at my timings for this yr's and last yr's.

h u g e

sigh there's trg tml.

2007-03-24T21:50:00.000-07:00

4 X 400 - 3rd
4 X 200 - 2nd

i ran horribly for todays' races.

and tt's all i've to say

be gone be gone shoo shoo...

2007-03-16T02:06:00.000-07:00

yes i know it's been long.

it's some emo-ing holidays.

this whole march hols were relay trg. thank godness it's 4 x 100m

sigh. and i aggrevated my old injury. it was hurting a bit when we cool down on mon. then on wed it got worst. well and when i ran after the bus, i started limping. ~~to some people it's great news huh?~~

yea at least my groint doesnt hurt that badly today. yea a pb broken though the weather was unbearably hot. cldnt give all out for 4 X 200m cuz my arms and legs felt really weak. but yay we pulled through

darn. i see tan lines =/

2007-03-05T04:56:00.001-08:00

feeling really sleepy after a hot shower...

Schedule
- 3 X 60m
- 2 X 100m
- 2 X 200m

losing excessive water before and during trg does affect trg!

yea today schedule was't tough. sigh but i didnt perform up to standard. my starts are back to the old slow reaction ): well but i mainly focused on my run. for today's trg i dont know what exactly the reason but i got tired really easily. just 3 60ms i am already panting quite hardly. for the first sets of 100m and 200m my timings are satisfactory but jiao lian wants me to improve further in which i believe i can! sadly for e last runs i completely cldnt perform up to expectations. my legs are getting all wobbly and my stamina cant seem to last )=

truly it's time to buck up...

2007-02-28T21:10:00.000-08:00

ARGHHHH!!! my thighs are aching so badly from last mon trg whereby we did some hop over the hurdles and starts trg. X( sighhh even have difficulty climbing up and down the 4 level of staircase =/

RAIN DROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD~
oh nono i did carry an umbrella haha.

yea today's rain lasted really long so we trained indoors. and joking during trg really lightened our mood. haha poor szeeee; ~~ji mao bu ru?~~ ohoh and su ting your sheep joke omg it's classic man HAHA

so for schedule we did some exercises and proceeded on running outside the stadium - 2 X 10 X _m. hmmmm ran with amanda. based on my highly accurate foresight XD i predict she's got a bright future ahead HAHA! yup and we ran and ran; at last we completed the first set. mr tay said my hands were still swinging sideways which is bad. well i will try to change it and yeah i find that my speed was okay.

2nd set - mr tay told us to run with our batons. and sharks! i didnt bring. so i ended up running with my umbrella. sheesh luckily it wasnt crowded cause i presumed it looked dumb running with an umbrella (ha obviously its the folded type). and we ran and ran and ran and wow within 20 minutes we're done! haha.

caught in the middle...

2007-02-23T05:27:00.001-08:00

well it has been a long time since i last posted. has been really busy these few weeks. with cny and trg that makes me go all so tired; i've barely the energy to even play a full hour of the computer.

for today's trg we did slope trg. yay we've found a cedar garden haha! wells for today's schedule it wasnt really that tough. we had slope trg but the slope wasnt really steep. i find that my starts are still not reacting but my speed was still accpetable.

so it started to rain and we jogged back to the school. did drills indoors. it was quite fun. haha and i was able to fly heh ^.^

oh wells. swift relay is cancelled. coming up its SPH relays! 1 month to go...

2007-02-07T20:43:00.000-08:00

"Jing tian mei you jie li" jiao lian said (meaning no relay)
it's as if we've been struck by lighting
sighhh then i asked why
and i think i rememebered her putting on a smirk saying i m waiting for you; you cant escape running long distances X( (cuz i didnt come for mon stadium trg)

Schedule
- 2 X 500m
- 5 X 150m
- 2 X 100m hopping

so the long distance refers to 500m. surprisingly i didnt worry throughout my warm-ups; stretching; drills. partially maybe because suzzie; sze; grace; siti and i were crapping to much =X but it relieves pressure and stress you know ;P su ting siti and i started off earlier. the pace was much faster this time round. however, it seems it's always the same problem of not pushing at the last part. yea i know most of it comes from mental. but i'm afriad of my hamstring/butt injury... the second set; we joined the others. and jiao lian nearly pulled me over to run with the andersons. but well i m stubborn the first part of the run wasnt really able to take the lead cause i m trapped within the crowd. yea my last part was much better with strong finishing. and WOW! clara was SUPER-DUPER fast! AHAHA! GOT HOPE LOL. today the long-d also had time-trials. it's really tough competition...

both my shin hurt like crazy when doing the 150m. ~*#*($&%&@*(#*(%^+ annual injury...this is the 4th yr. once again. the competiton is there. in between walking back recovery i feel as if i m drifting among the clouds. luckily i m still able to complete the schedule. timings wise; it was rather constant

yea did some hopping thingy for 100m. well at least it's better than bounding and it didnt kill my shin.

suddenly rahimah muscles started craming up and she was moaning in such a way tat gracelyn says she's in labour -.-" luckily she was fine after which. and gracelyn says ITS A BOY! ... dotz she hallucinating la HA

oh my. FRI getting back o levels chi results! pls pls pls i want tt A1
oh! CNY is next week. i am so not done with my new year clothes!!! )=

2007-02-05T20:15:00.000-08:00

Schedule
- 3 X 80m power run with 2kg of weights
- 3 X 80m power run [alternate]
- 8 X 80m running and bounding (per leg)

This post shall be short. Schedule looks tough but luckily i didnt feel that deadbeat. oh and my left leg bounding is bad. in total i ran 1120m. LOL

i need to pull through! coursework drives ppl nuts! TESTS makes me go googaga bleah dont even know what am i talking so you see... i need to CHIONG! ha like running hurh...

2007-01-31T21:10:00.000-08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAY SZZZEEEEEE MIN

Schedule
- 5 X 30m
- 3 X 100m
- 2 X 300m
- 3 X 20 human lift (i did 2 sets; back was aching)
- 3 X 15 butt kick (person behind)
- 3 X 20 push ups

today trg wasnt really tough ~~cause no 500m =P~~ well but i did quite badly for the last set of 100m and 300m sighhh. oh and bday girl starts is so freaking fast and full of explosiveness! o.O despite being taller i still lagged behind. ~~at least for the first part~~ XP. yea i am glad i managed to hit close 13 sec for 100m but my endurance level is still rather low. 300m i beat my last 300m timing but still not good enough. ): and during my 2nd set my hamstring/butt was straining so much tt i cldnt lift my left leg up for the last 100m and i was limping my way through. it seems like i need some mental trg maybe weights trg cld help a bit in the strengthening of leg muscles...

ha and jiao lian was saying that the diameter of her thighs when she was peaking was 57cm. and we got so curious we started to use the measuring tape to measure ours. my oh my my thighs are huge. and they are of different diameters ): aye 1cm only ha oh and cause jiao lian meaured for us she said she's like the butcher measuring pig trotters. ZZZZZZZZ

exercises. some guang yang ppl said the human lift exercise acted as if we are lesbians. -.-'' what in the world are these ppl thinking huh... well sad case for them for thinking about such nonsense. anyway we proceeded on to butt kick and then to push ups. ha after doing the first set my arm muscle felt quite sturdy ha. as we were kneeling down i said that it's as if we are praying. then jiao lian came along and stood in front of us and said "na ni men jiu bai wo ba" meaning telling us to pray to her -.-" hurh hurh. after pulling through the push ups i cant feel my poor arms.

then trg ended. we ate sze min bday choc cake; took some pictures and left at about 7pm...late late late

2007-01-26T21:36:00.000-08:00

we had laughing sessions for today's trg. ~~ha thanks to the rain~~.

well we've trg in school basically. yup the four of us plus clara. gracelyn and i supposedly were to do starts while the others trained hurdles. then it started pouring real hard. and we did some exercises indoors at the d&t block. the drills were exceptionally different from what we had used to do. hmmm but i think we did those b4 long long time ago. and i cldnt get the salsa dancing drills right. oh oh! and there was something mentioned whereby sze actually think crook! ha szeeeee innocent no more eh? HAHA aye and we laughed and laughed and talked and talked until the trg ended. and yes we talked about our future plans that lies ahead. thinking about o'levels and junior colleges simply drives me crazy

oh yes! there was relay trg on wed. it went quite well. zone passing and 2 full rounds. yup yup

it was said to be that listening to fast techno; trance; dance music makes you run faster or something up to you to believe (:

2007-01-22T20:33:00.000-08:00

i cant afford to miss trainings no more )=

Schedule
- 3 X 300m
- 2 x 500m

well i didnt manage to complete the schedule for the day. my butt was aching so much that i have to stop after the 3 x 300m. it's as if there's some lump at the area. but jiao lian says i'm just imagining it -.- but many ppl supported me so it proves that i've got a stronger stand HA whatever sigh. i m sad today boohoohoo... ):

2007-01-19T21:38:00.000-08:00

o.0 comps are drawing near...
phew luckily its relays (:

well i've missed two trg due to some reasons. anyway today was relay trg! but i sense some real exhausting schedule on this coming mon =/ mind you...my sixth sense can be accurate at times k haha. hmmmm we tried all sorts of runners ranging from -1st to 4th runner. oh! and i find striding kind of tiring =S. after which we did try-out passing at the curve. the passing was rather smooth but coming to our first full run it screwed up. anyway its fun run so it turned out to be funny ha! 2nd runner nearly tripped; 3rd runner also tripped; 4th runner tripped and nearly fell flat on the ground. erm ya i was the 4th runner aye... and after the run all of us were laughing. yea and i need to raise my hands higher though. weeee i rest while the other 4 did the runs. yay! the passing is much smoother now! and trg ended...........THE END ^.^

2007-01-12T21:00:00.000-08:00

RELAY TRG IS LOVED! TATA! XD

"i want rain!"
"i want to faint..."
oh wells. monday blues

Schedule
- 2 X 5 X 60m
- 3 X 300m

we expected short distance sprinting for today's training. and gods knows what, jiao lian disclosed the schedule right at the start of trg. zzz. well 60m was fine. but jiao lian says i cant seemed to grasp my speed. wasnt really able to gain full speed. i pushed more in my 2nd set. yea it was really tiring. as in my legs were feeling kind of soar.sigh. my thighs feels huge. )= and the sec 1s says my legs muscles are obvious. sad sad sad sad and for your info muscles are three times heavier than fats! so that explains most of my weight comes form the lower part of my body! ok 300m. my timing its way off my pb. i guess most of my energy was used up for the 60m. and my timings gtt worse to worst. ): eee! my throat feels weird. ahaha random...

2007-01-05T21:15:00.000-08:00

the gifted(s) are MIA, attending the gifted programme while the ungifted(s) are not in the gifted programme and had to attending trg instead of the gifted programme. and so the gifted(s) will be back on mon for trg after attending the last day of the gifted programme, to tell us how gifted they are unlike the ungifted ones.oh and the gifted(s) are to give the ungifted ones gifts!!!

- 4 X 200m
- 2 X 20 girlstyle push-ups
- 2 X 15 butt kick (person behind to hold the leg)
- 2 X 20 abdominal exercise (person behind to push legs down)

we started off training with jiao lian telling us the schedule of the day -.- (only for the running part). at that point of time we were in shock. haha and throughout our warm-ups and drills we were worrying about how to run that oh-so-long eeky horrible 500m. to console myself of the horrible timing that i will be doing, i didnt want to take my timing. so yea i didnt. but my pace was at an acceptable speed i presumed. just that i've this habit of not pushing at the last long-long-long 100m stretch.hoho no latic acid heh. ~~means not pushing!~~ so at the second set, i decided take my timing. weeeee i did it in 1min41sec. nothing proud though. but jiao lian complimented me *beams* (oh but she did scold me for the lack of high-knee lift at the last part). we proceeded to 200m after which. today bishan stadium is exceptionally crowded. so it's good to look left look right before crossing the track in case you get crash down by a ~~human~~ hurh hurh ok well on the whole 200m was fairly well done. didnt want to push myself to the limit in case my ham-string starts straining. hoho and we completed our exercises real fast. woohoo i can see flatter tummy now =D

oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACELYN (:

school reopens!
~~boohoohoo )=~~

Schedule
- 5 X 30m bounding
- 2 X 5 X 150m

luckily today's trg started off with a cool weather. had a slight migrane. seriously imparting skills is real hard work. nono shld be teaching the art of cedar drills hurh hurh. well but the sec ones are real fast learners; ~~unlike when i was a sec 1 kiddo~~... so before we started our schedule, we did many many try-outs bounding. bound; bound; bound! bound from the horizonal of the track to the vertical. ~~felt like a deer~~. but it really did help. haahaa we are all flying deers! however my butt still unknowlingly stuck out. -.- better improve and push my hip forward. after which was 150ms. i was on the brink of dying of exhaustion after the first set. the first 3 runs i managed to hit jiao lian targetted timing of 23 sec. but after the 3rd one i felt latic acid all over my body. yea and i missed the expected timing for the rest of the two runs. well needless to say my second set was ~~disatrous~~.~~at a point in time i really wanted to give up~~ ok i missed the expected timing by a whole 4sec but i did improve as the number of runs increases. but still not good enough =( hmmm... guess we should do more sprinting work-ups. my endurance during sprinting isnt there at all ): during cool down we did splits! my inflexibility is getting the better of me haha that explains why i never gottenan A for sit & reach. ~~1 point away from full marks!~~

- 2 X 1 min high knee run
- 3 X 20 per leg hurdle drills (over and back again)
- 3 X 20 medicine ball throw (lying down on matt)
- 3 X 15 mermaid wave ( i named it myself lol)

The last training for the year 2006 and its in school! it rained in the morning and the track was very slippery. the runs wasnt really tough but my shin splint made my running technique really horrible. maybe partially because of the wet track. since we havent started wearing spikes, our starts were a errrrr. yea and so instead of high knee lift during sprinting, my legs were mostly doing butt kick. this resulted lots of big red ugly red spots on my cat tee )= aye aye high knee. my mind was in a whirl when i was doing high knee that i travelled from one point to another. after my last set, my rib cage hurts. hurdles was quite fun though. but my hips ache quite abit. zzz jiao lian started her nagging. haha finally got the throwing medicine ball thingy right at my last set. and evil meanie rahimah threw the 3kg heavy medicine ball on my head (maybe my reaction in catching the ball was slow). thank godness i m still in the right state of mind. hmmm the last exercise was quite new to us. helps strengthen our backs. haha felt really like a fish. nah mermaid sounds better (: headed off for orientation after which. hopefully tml campfire 1/M item will go smoothly

rainy days is oh so perfect for sleeping like a log!

Schedule
- 2 X 10 X 80m (running in the carpark)
- 3 X 25 per leg tubing (tied around ankle)

Today's trg was at bishan stadium. since it was raining we ran indoors. the ground was pretty slippery. numerous times my shoes gave way; close shave. i gave almost my best shots for the runs. except that i dont feel my arms moving that vigorously as compared to the high knee movement of my legs. it's good that finally i felt my strides are getting wider and stronger. oh man...jiao lian is starting to separate 400m runners from the 100m and 200m. meaning hardcore trg is approaching! ): oh and for tubing my carve muscles hurts so badly. esp the supporting leg after each set. hopefully this time my drive is there.

yayness! relay trg is starting pretty soon.

2006-12-22T23:45:00.000-08:00

Today's training is in school! yea cuz it's registration. this yr's cut off pt is 247. same as my yr i guess. Oh i realised something, today we didnt do drills. cause it looks like its going to pour. so we went straight into schedule. zzz whole loads of exercises. and my thigh muscles are still aching from the previous training. some of the exercises were tiring, especially the one that we did jumping with weights. there's something really wrong with my knee! there's this click click sound when i bend and straighten my leg ): and i dont like sit-ups! eeky eeky sit-ups. made my back hurts. but still i want to build up more abdominal muscles! ~~say bye to flabby tummy~~! oh and i take back my words. i didnt get injured doing the jumping over hurdles. it's quite fun though. but i failed to jump continuously over the 10 hurdles =/ try harder next time! BOUNDING! for the first time we did 100m bounding. but still at least it's better than 100m high knee. teehee...i finally know how to bound properly. haha cause jiao lian never scold me. haha for once. well i still need to work on the flying part for bounding. yea end of schedule. headed off to macs for lunch. uh-oh unhealthy unhealthy. =P

~~the weather forecast cheated my feelings~~
oh wells. but it's a good thing

Schedule
- Standing broad jump X 10
- Triple jump X 5
- 2 X 500m
- 3 x 300m

finally! i dont feel myself sweaty eeky and panting after warm-up. today's weather is uber sunny. so we did drills indoors yea the carpark. gah. i m a horrible jumper. erm standing broad jump is the furthest i can go. lack of explosiveness; terrible technique; prone to injuries. sigh as long as i do anything related to jumping; hopping; hurdling i'll get injured. now i shall work more on my technique and be injury-free! well i can say my bounding skills did improve a bit (: back on track. weeee i've strong sixth sense. yea what i predicted really did became a reality. hurh 500m nightmare run. haha but it didnt turn out to be that exhausting due to one reason - lack of effort. my phobia of 500m held me back. so the effort put in such as opening of strides and the amount of speed was minimium. but i m glad to say i did well for 300m. my speed was there as i can feel myself going rather fast. amazingly i didnt feel that dead-beat as compared to the previous trainings. yet still, there's always room for improvement. woohoo no exercises. training ended even earlier. treated myself to bubbletea (:

doom lies ahead the following day X(

HOHO another DSA pupil is joining cedar!
400m 66 sec -.-

Schedule
- 1 legged hopping (exchanging of legs) X 6
- 6 X 200m (run 150m; walk back 50m; run 50m; walk back 50m)
- 3 X 20 waist/hips/abdominal exercise
- 3 X 20 back raisers
- 3 X 20 right leg across body to left hand vice versa

i wonder is my stamina deproving or is it the warm-up speed is getting faster and faster every training. so today was 10min warm-up 3 rounds. Upon hearing the schedule for the day, i expected it to be quite alright. well on the whole i did well i supposed except for the one legged hopping. firstly my technique was screwed. secondly i injured another part of my upper groint sheesh luckily i'm still able to run after a few streches.regarding 6 X 200m my 150m speed was acceptable excluding the last set in which i was dying my way through. my running technique was good (i guess) and i was able to maintain a constant speed. however my starts was horrid because it was simply step-out starts without any explosiveness. in addition, my curve run was real bad as told by jiao lian. hmmmm my body posture was too straight. but well i did try to bend towards my left for the last few sets though. Exercises wasnt that bad except for the one which works mainly on the abdominal muscles. however it was not my stomach that hurts but was my back. but still i managed to pull through. the rest of the exercises were fine. haha ~~easy-peasy~~
yea today's training ended much earlier...

Today's weather is SUNNY SUNNY! ~~dammit it rained after trg~~
sigh and so i'm turning darker =(

Schedule

- 2 X Medicine ball throw upwards (with explosive power) we did extra set!
- 1 X Medicine ball throw backwards (working on the back)

HOHO today's warm-up was three rounds instead of six. but siti's speed was going kind of fast that i nearly cldnt catch-up. oh wells. during warm-up we asked jiao lian wad's the schedule but she didnt want to reveal. but she told us that the distance was not as long as the previous trg. so ya drills then schedule. The tubing excercise made my carve muscles hurt. Rarh! my hips muscles are not strong enough. the later sets there's no power in it aiyaya. ): ok the running part. Started off good and fine but i've to further improve on my running technique (high knee and arms!). but reaching the first set of 150m there's no more explosiveness in my starts. getting real tired. yea so second set my eyes were practically going to close. thank godness i finished the 2 whole sets. well everybody did. the medicine ball excercises wasnt tt bad. kind of fun actually. haha no butts sticking out. training ended at about 12pm. exhaustion...

oh and i shall give myself hearts rating starting from now on

RATING: 3.5 <3 <3 <3 <

After 1 week of missing in action; im back for trg...

Schedule
`hindknee lift with cones X10
`bounding with cones X10
`5X300m

Started off training with 6 rounds of warm-up. yea my stamina has dropped. was panting and sweating profusely after that. Drills was fine as per normal. Went on to schedule after which. complete hindknee lift without much difficulty except that i need to further improve on my running posture (slightly more bent). Here comes the eeky part - bounding. thank godness i'm not having any shin injuries. TOUCHWOOD TOUCHWOOD! oh wells must keep in mind has to always land on the heel of my feet or else...hahahaa. since for me and siti our cones are further place apart, ours is nevertheless more tiring. 5x300m; i was quite shocked when i heard the schedule. At that point of time i was like confirm i will stop halfway in between the sets. luckily my mental kept me going on. and my hamstring doesnt hurt as much. No more missing of trainings in order to improve on speed and endurance. tt's all

since jiao lian is back i shall start blogging (:

Schedule
`2 sets of 6X120m
`3X20 waist exercise (swirly whirly)
`3X30m legs pumping action (legs off grd)
`3X30 backraisers

As per normal, started off training with 10 mins of warm-up and stretches. well practically died for the 100m of drills esp extension, cant even lift up my legs nearing the end. oh wells but the worst has yet to come. After my first set of 6X120m, my hands and legs turned jelly (result of losing excess water the few past days =S ), head was extremely giddy. Glad to say i pulled through the last set. HAHA by the old technique of closing my eyes when i run. But most importantly it's to keep calm and maintaining own's breathing.

After which was those exercises. The swirly whirly excercise made my head go tipsy. Partnered gracelyn and we finished it fast! The next excercise was so tiring. It worked on my back, abdominal and legs muscles. ok backraisers...SUPERMAN!

END OF TRG! well ate lunch at school canteen. Practised farewell dance. SUPER-DUPER hilarious esp the 'Qiang' part. Well all the seniors got to do it's to sit back, relax and erm ~~enjoy the performance~~...

OH OH! my big toe has a blood clot blister )= eeyer
