Today woke up at 640am before i head down to the canteen to have my breakfast.Today meal was plain porridge and some breads.I reach class at 710 am and relax for awhile before i went to the parade square for assembly.Assembly was just as normal except that mr amir discuss about class adminstrative things.He discuss about we being late for assembly.
Felt pretty sleepy during Literature and just try to bear throught it. Had a science test the next period, hope that i will do well.During lunch ,went to the school library with Joel, ask him to help me with my blog.Added a chat box and some music.Hope those songs that i picked will be soothing. One of the song is 'What a Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong. And some rock music from various artiste like Leona lewis and 'Viva La Vida' by ColdPlay.
Reach the hostel at 320pm before changing to my PE attire and head for Macritchie Reservoir for my Cross country training.Ms sheikha told us to do about 2 loops which is about 11 km but Bryan brought us to a new route.He says that it is about the same distance as our usual route and he call it 'Thomson Road' as we must run along Thomson Road.
Finish training at 630 pn before i went home to have my dinner.I had fried rice for dinner which my father bought it from the regular coffee shop where we usually had our dinner during the weekend.

BLACK JACK
Today, i went to have dinner at my grandmother god brother house. I address him as GU GONG but i dont know what it means.He stays in Bishan, near RI.He used to be a pest controller and now he sons succeed him.His house have alot of wild animals they include a baby python, chamelon and a pig nose tortoise, he also kept a few rabbits and 5 golden retriever. GU PO ,his wife ordered buffet and it was delicious. The food includes pacific clam, assoted mini cakes,fried rice, meesiam ,laksa etc.There were many people there some i think i dont even see them before.The laksa she served rocks.It is very tasty and the soup is rich and thick.
For the rest of the night we were playing Black jack and watching movies. The amount they play are way bigger then the amount the people place at my mother side.I started with $1 and i stick to it the whole night.One of the uncles, which i did not know, place $50.I was dumbfounded.Imagine what happen to him when the Integrated Resort opens?He might be staying overnight there.I was pretty unlucky as i dint got any black jack that night.I only got a couple of 5 dragons.5 dragon is a combination of 5 number when put together is 21 and below.The result of havvig a 5 dragon is double the amount you placed.
At 10 30 when most of the visitors let,we had another round of black jack.This time, it is my father as the banker.He win almost every round and all my $1 coins were all with him.
We left the house at 11pm and reach home at 1130pm.Hope my luck will be better next yar to recoup my losses this year.Happy CNY.

MAHJOONG LESSONS
Posting at my cousin house now,sleeping overnight today.Todays the secondth day of the Luna New Year and went to my cousins house to collect red packets.I brought my laptop along to play incase there is nothing to do.Played a few rounds of black jackbefore my nephew and niece arrived.they are a boy and a girl aged 4 and 2 years of age.Then another group of cousins arrive all of them are boys 2 in university and 1 currently serving the army.
The food today is steamboat with lots of sidedish.They include fish and meat balls,chicken and fish,abalone plus prawns and ngioh hiang from my aunty's parents.The amount of red packet today were quite a lot despite the economic crisis at the start of the year.I was expecting about 5 red packets but overall i receive 12.
At about 7 15 pm my grandfather sister arrive with her family.They bring along their grandchildren but we never interract with each other. 2 of them are in primary school while 1 is in RAFFLES INSTITUTION.They sit and chat around till 8 45 pm before leaving.Thats when the real fun starts.We are going to learn some professional mahjoong skills from my grandmother and auntie.
I started playing with my auntie sitting next to me guiding me along as the game goes.After a few game i manage to grasp certain knowledge and able to know when to strike or just play along.Won myself a couple of bucks today from the black jacking and mahjoonging.I think i earned about 3dollars.
Tomorrow i will be going to my father's side to collect ore red packets.More red packets equals more money.Haha, got to sleep now bye.

Pure lactic
As we warm ourselve up from school to the Lagoon at SKI 360 degrees, all of us were chatting about the latest computer game, whats ahead of us in half an hour's timewill be something not worth being tried by the average person.
As we wet our head with water to cool down abit aginst the hot blistering afternoon sun,Ms Sheikha walk towards the Lagoon and told us what to do later."5 X 200 metres with 95% the warm down for 8 minutes before doing 2 sets of 300 metres, 95% and finish it off with another 5 x 200 metres and warm down for 30 minutes.To us, 95% equal to 100%,which means an average of doing a 200 metres interval time of 37 seconds will cut down to35-36 seconds.
The seniors started first before being followed by the juniors.My first set of 5 x 2oo metres was between a good timing of 34 and 35 seconds.After doing a 8 minutes jog, comes the 300 metres.It was at least better then the 200 metres as we only need to do it twice.My first 300 metres was 1 minute and it was very slow.I told myself to do beter for the next one.And i clocked a time of 53 seconds which was acceptable.
By now, the amount of lactic acid in my legs is able to kill me!My legs feel so heavy.All that is left is just 5 x 200 metres and I am done.
After that day at the SAA cross country, I told myself to train harder to maintainmy good position i acheived that day.And te last few 200 metres were done in a blink of an eye with the timing of 33 to 34 seconds.I straight away went to do my warm done to clear the lactic acids.
Before I end my post, wish every one a happy lunar new year.Hope to recive lots of red packets.Bye.

SAA national cross country on 17 jan 09
Its the 58th SAA national cross crountry competition.Ms Sheikha has chosen a few of the boys in cross country to participate. And i was chosen to be in the team called Victoria Professional.the team members are me, Sean from 1B Ryan from 2A and Dion from 2G.
The day was hot but windy and our race was smack right in the afternoon at 320 pm. After we have done our warm up, a representative from RED BULL, came and lets us try a few samples of RED BULL. She says that it will give us energy for 3 to 5 hrs.And will boost our performance during the race.
As we walk to the starting line, the excitement and anxiousness grew by each seconds.
As the signal goes, everyone sprinted trying to take the lead. I knowing myself well in races knew, that i have a slow start and didn't sprint to the pack infront.As i slowly gain a fast but steady pace, i saw my friend Joel slowing down.He has stitch otherwise he wont be running so slow.As head wind blew hard on us, a few runners from other school slow down. And i slowly overtake them. I could see the finshing line and was going in to having bigger stride when suddenly a guy from Raffles institution overtake me. I was determined to be in the top 20 and dont want to lose out and i quietly fellow him behind.
As the finishing line became closer , the RI boy soon became even faster and the distance between him and me was drifting.Not wanting to let VS down, i sprint pass him at the very end.But i just hope i helped my team overall.As we waited patiently for the results to come out, i was just asking my friend how they felt during the run.Some were confident of doing well, some were just disaaponted with themselve for not performing.
20 minutes of waiting and the results were out. And when my friends told me that i was in the top 10, i didn't belive them and ask if they were joking.Not beliving them, i went to check the results and indeed, i was in the top 10! I was placed 9th position. I was speechless and was very proud of myself for getting such good results.
And when i go up to collect my medal,I told myself to work hard to maintain this kind of standard.Both our C and B division won the gold and Ms Sheikha was very happy.
At the end of the day,all the effort and hardwork paid off as i gotten myself in the top 10.It was really a day to remember.
