AMPlify

One word to describe it? Awesome. Totally unbelievable awesome. Hard to believe that it was what it was. Initially I had my doubts about it, but after Saturday night, I've been convinced otherwise. It's really heartening to see so many people turn up to support this charity event. The performances were quite interesting as well and I'm sure everyone had lots of fun. I hope more people will support our cause and help out the heart patients at SHF. Thanks everyone who made this a success.

Also I was surprised at how smoothly things went during the actual event. The rehearsals weren't exactly all that smooth and I was kinda worried that we might not get the piano in and out on time. However we managed to pull it off surprisingly well and the whole process was quite smooth. It was so smooth that we even managed to get some slack time in between the items :D

Best time I ever had. Love you guys. XD

Accomplishment

A lot of things have happened in the past week, the most eventful one in long while. Competed in the recent WALA held at Dunman High. I must say it was quite fun and definitely more hyped up than th one I participated in when I was in Sec 1. Altogether Team Singapore managed to win 11 Golds which is a new record for the team. I was quite impressed with our walkers though, they were absolutely phenomenal. One of our walkers ACCIDENTALLY won a bronze O_O Not sure how that happened but it was pure magic. Both walkers were lagging by one lap next thing you know, one of them is third, unbelievable.

Another thing I realised is that the Australian girls all wore make up to compete. I was totally stunned. I mean, who on earth would wear make up to run under the hot sun...So uncomfortable. There was this one girl, after her run she had mascara running down her cheeks. Then funny thing that happened was that one of the coaches took out his camera and started taking pictures of her, damn epic. Another thing that I thought was weird was the fact that all the Australian throwers were all so skinny. The girls looked more like high jumpers than throwers -.-'''

Watching the relays were quite fun. Got into a bit of trouble with Joseph Tan :P But not as much as I had expected. Maybe my win helped to placate him a bit. Speaking of which, I won a Gold for long jump. Managed to defeat the Australians, which was quite a surprise. Somehow Singapore did quite well; 1st, 3rd and 4th. Not bad. We didn't get trashed. Oddly enough, all my jumps were further than the second placed jumps. Didn't do as well as my nationals though, can't really say I'm happy but I guess I'm thankful for a win.

The next week will be a tough one. I've fallen ill again and there are 3 tests next week. I really need to start studying for them, especially Physics and Chem which is on Tuesday. AMPlify rehearsal on Monday, hope I don't die. Somehow I always seem to be down with something at the most crucial period. I shall continue to ask and pray for God's favour and guidance in the coming weeks and I hope to be able to do better as the days go by, not to mention grow MUCH taller too. XD
