Disappointment

Triple jump finals were held today. Though I'm contented with my 4th place, I'm really quite disappointed with my jumps. Failed to turn the game around after I faulted my last jump. Looking back, long jump was just like today, faulted both my game-changer jumps. I think I really need more practice. If I can get my run up to be 99% accurate, I can use my last minute game-changer strategy.

I have a chemistry test tomorrow and I have yet to study...Hope I can get an A1 still. I lost my notes on electrolysis so I'm not sure whether I'll be adequately prepared...But I think if I can recall what I've learnt I should have no problem. Guess I'll search for them so that I can at least do a bit of revision.

I really just thank God for his favour, I know that there are many others out there that are more deserving of my 4th place. I just pray that I will be able to put in the effort and go even further and get a 1st, maybe next year.

Memory verse for today:

Romans 3:22-24

22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,

23 for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God,

24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Dejection

It's been about a week or so since my last post. I totally feel like dying already. What a way to start of the term. As if it isn't bad enough that there was a math test today, in the second week of the term, I just had to blank out during the test. I totally did not know what I was doing half the time. I just hope and pray that I will get at least an A2/B3 for this test, if not...I might do something crazy.

Project's Day prelims are exactly a week from now and I only just printed out the survey forms...I think we are going to be screwed if we don't pick up the pace. And I also only just finished compiling the powerpoint for English presentation on Press Freedom. Still missing one last part though. Gonna finish it in class tomorrow before English lesson.

Nationals are two weeks out. My back is hurting like never before. I just hope by the 13 of April, my back would have healed somewhat. I also hope that my legs would have grown longer and stronger, even if just by a bit. Right now, I need every physical advantage I can get my hands on. Two of the other regulars are out with injury, if I don't do well, we might lose even more points. I need to get 1st so that I can close the point difference.

Hope you guys can pray for me that I will quickly grow and that I will recover fast.

Deuteronomy 11:1

Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always.

Absolution

Been a long time since I've posted. Anyways, it's about 3 months into 2011. Term 1 was rather disappointing... I didn't do so well for Chinese, IHC and English. Rather pathetic if you ask me. In my opinion, there was a lot more to be desired. Now that term 2 has started, I think I'm gonna have to buck up and study, if not, I shall not be able to do well. I don't want to have another sucky MSG, seriously. It totally sucks when you are expecting a 1++ and then suddenly you get 2.11. I'm gonna study hard this term for my Chines, English and IHC. Hopefully, I'll be able to get A1 for both IHC and English and at least a high B3/low A2 for Chinese.

SL project...ARGH. Need to buck up. I really wanna do a good project that my group can be proud of.

This term, I also have nationals to contend with. I really hope to be jumping 6.8m by April. It's gonna be hard especially since I only have 2 weeks left. So I'm gonna train really hard and hope that my back recovers in time. I also hope that I will be able to regain my form for triple jump and that I will be able to jump at least 14m...I guess I have a lot of praying to do these few weeks.

After nationals, I'm gonna start learning piano and music theory. I really regret dropping music when I was much younger. I really do hope that I will do well in this area...I seriously think I need to find some better way to relax than read manga. Hopefully music will be able to inject some life into me...I'm so stone right now-.-'''

I'm hoping and pray that beyond all odds, that I get another growth spurt...I will need that extra leg length if my triple jump is gonna improve...I also don't want to be stuck at this height for the rest of my life>.<>

Till my next post. Ciao.
