yesterday was my first time at sea regatta.coolios wet fun!didn't get soaked entirely coz it was tt time of the month and thankfully no one dunked me though i came close to it twice.one of which i was totally unaware of until my supa nice classmate si ying told me abt wad nearly happened much much later...*evil glare shooting butcher's knife,samurai sword and woodcutter's axe at yong jenn haur* grrr.anyway,the mood was kinda subdued when we first got there.all my classmates who had been there last year just kept sayin how things were so much more hyped up and livelier.oh wells...i guess the wet weather had put a dampener on things.but still,it was fun seein all the year 1's runnin abt entirely muddy and wet.ahaha.played tug-of-war and nothing much else.oh,chatted with our new geog tutor as well.he's so funny la!kept callin ryan a bitch when he himself is so catty with his words!oh wells,geog lesson is gonna be soooooooo fun!!!haha.and daryl is so gonna slaughter me.teehee.jian feng surprised me yesterday...when he came over after regatta,all covered in mud and grime,just to talk to me abt jumps.kinda voiced out a worry i had placed at the back of my mind a long time ago when i decided i would still do jumps this year...he asked me to maybe reconsider focusing more on my sprints instead.coz he's been seein how i jump recently and there has been near zero improvement and he knows that if i try to split my focus on both,my sprints would only end up suffering more in the end and he knows that's not wad i want.but...it's tough.i was asking him 'how??how do i focus on jumps and yet not let my sprints suffer?' a question which he tried to answer but i know there's really not much of an answer to.but he told me that unless i visualized my jump like every single free waking moment i have,and watch tonnes of jumps videos,then maybe i should consider focusing on sprints.but i dun wanna do 200 or 400 even!so i have to do long jump!but i'm really thankful tt he came over to talk and help straighten my thoughts abt jumps.been reading up a lotta jumps stuff over the net,though they sadly have few video clips.or at least i've not been to the right webbys.quite random of jianfeng...but really appreciate it.he's like the only one who has actually been watching me jump and helpin me point out and correct my mistakes.sigh...i need mrs ng badly.
i just need some
pure talent.
bleahh.
had a sumptious family dinner at The Olive Restaurante @ Labrador Park with pastor dan and aunty evon to celebrate their birthday,a treat by my father.the place was rather dimly lit and the music was a bit off,like if it was tryin to be 'romantic',it totally flopped with its soundtrack that comprised of some pop song whose title i can't recall.-_-"the view would have been much lovelier too had it not been raining coz it's perched atop a hill and overlooked vast expanses of greenery as well as the city skyline.ohh but the food was absolutely yummlicious!had some cold crab with fruit as my main course which was delicious,but i rather much prefered the appetizers of smoked salmon [my absolute no 1 loveee!!!!],prawn,succulent scallops as well as the calamari and grilled mushrooms.oooooooh yummy!!had tiramisu for dessert which was just utterly delightful!been havin this urge to eat tiramisu for very long so i was quite pleasantly surprised the restaurant had it.=) the warm choc cake with vanilla ice cream tt my sis had was quite nice as well,gave u a comforting feel with each bite.as usual the dinner topic revolved generally about church with my sis doing most of the talkin since she's so heavily involved in the youth ministry.of coz the side topics included vj and rj...typical.sometimes i dun think i talk senselike i'll just rattle on and onand digress a thousand times before i finally arrive at wad i've been tryin to sayand then it turns out to be rather anti-climaticeven out of pointbut all that matters is that youunderstand me=)
