Okay.
Other than me freaking out earlier today,
today was a rather mediokre day.
In fact, i did quite little today, regretably. :S
In the morn, the moment i woke up, i received a message from bo huat (VJC coach) asking me to meet him at thomson plaza posb at 9.30am. And happily, i changed my clothes and all and planned out breakfast and left the house. Still happily thinking about breakfast, i drew money from the bank and then i saw him. And then i realised, I FORGOT ABOUT THE SHOES! MAN! Thats why he wanted to meet me. So i could pass him the shoes he gave me on sat. X| So dumb can. Walao… lol.
BUt he was really nice about it. 
Anyway. I tried on the shoe he brought for me and we both came to a conclusion that i needed a size smaller. Haha. So he’s getting me a size 8. Haha. 
I tried on the asics shoe and its pretty dang good. Haha. WHEE! 
Then he gave me a deuter toiletry bag, a wrist guard and a special cloth. Which haoyi says is for putting powder, but i dont believe him. lol. So cool right. I not even in the school yet he give me so many things already. haha.
Haoyi was so so so jealous of me. And he swore that he would shout at bo huat the next time he meets him cos he know him for 10 years and he’s never gotten as many goodies as me, a girl who knows him for less than a year. HAhahaa. It rocks man. Seriously. HAHAHA.
Anyway. After that, he came to my place and i passed him the NB shoes he gave me earlier. And then he went off.
After that, i spent some time eating, watching the Badminton and Swimming match with s’pore players Ronald Susilo and Tao li competing. Ronald sucks, and Tao li’s pretty good. Except she didnt do as well this time. :/ ah well.
But seriously, it sucks to have almost the whole s’pore team unsingaporified. Like seriously. How many of them are home grown talent? ALMOST NONE! They’re all freaking foriegn import. Its so unfair. Im not rooting for any s’pore team members cos seriously, they’re not singaporeans and i dont think that it means much even if they win, cos seriously, they’re not home grown and home grown talent wold be much more appreciated. Seriously.
Thikning about it, i really feel that its the singapore education system and culture that is preventing s’pore from doing well in sports. There’s alot of hidden talent in singapore, but because its a very ‘Work for Reward’ society, everyone is STUDYING so that they can do well in exams and secure their future. No one wants to become professional athletes because its time consuming, and there’s no future. Can the government assure athletes a bright future in school? Can the govt take care of these athletes for life? NO. Unless your a freaking foriegn talent.
I dont have anything against foreign talent, really. I do understand their importance in singapore. But it hurts when we have to do so in the sports arena cos no singaporean can afford to fork out that time and effort w/o risking some part of their future. The s’pore culture is to work hard, do well in studies, get a good job, do well in life. No one wants to be in a sport and bring Singapore glory cos ultimately, the spotlight shines on the foreign talent, that end up achieving nothing at all.
And the s’pore education system doesnt have the support needed to support sportsmen well. Its more of you miss class, you miss homework, you miss study time, you miss out totally, too bad. Whereas the americans and all dont have much to study in school, hence able to fork out extra time and effort to train. Singapore’s education is over competitive, causing many, many local talents to go to waste. And then the govt complains singapore doesnt have enough talent. Umph.
Ah well.
Anyway. After that haoyi asked me to meet him at sembawang. Bet he was out with girlfriend. haha. BUt anyway. I met him there and we went to stadium tgt.
Did Bench, not to the max. till 50kg only.
Did Fly 5kg 5×3
Did Clean.
HA!
I so have to tell you about it.
I was so inspired by the olympics i wanted to try weightlifting as a sport. N haoyi wasnt adamently against it. He was nuetral. So he asked me to try 50kg. Just lift slightly and jerk it outwards slightly cos if i were to do a full clean, i would be in hospital right now. Haha. So anyway, i tried, and i could leh… Hehehe. HAHAHA. HOHOHO. Can seriously consider. hehe.
Today my clean wasnt that good cos of phobia from last friday.
Last friday i injured my chest rather badly when i threw the 30kg into my chest area about 2cm beneath my collar bone, when its actually supposed to be trusted into the collar bone. And i nearly died. I felt my ribcage sink in, pressing against some inernal stuff. Then i couldnt breathe properly. When ever my chest moved, it hurt quite alot. So i had to ensure i breathed through my diagphram. It was bad and scary.
But by th emiracle and grace of God, i have been healed, and im as healthy as ever.
So. I did clean today, though technique wasnt as good. And i did till 40kg today! Haha! And i realised i picked up some stuff from watching the olympics clean. Haha. N im using more leg power, though im still using alot of upper body. Cos my upper body’s pretty strong. haha. My competitors admire my upper body strength, apparantly. But my legs are quite strong too.. So if i combine them tgt… Ooo… Okay. Dammit. Why didnt i realise earlier? -_-
Leg+Upperbody= >11m
HA!
Great equation!
Anyway. after that, we went to throw. And my mind was no thtinking, i didnt change into throwing shoes. -_- man.. I felt so wierd throwing in my running shoes.
I first threw a few sets of 5kg balls, which have become increasingly light.
Then followed by a few sets of 4kg balls, which have become increasingly lighter. YAY! HAhaha.
Then, he and i had a little bet. If i werent to hit 11m, then i’de have to do 70sit ups.
My 1st throw missed 11m slightly cos the ball slipped.
My 2nd, according to my sight did cross 11m.
But he claimed otherwise, and i felt really really really sad.
So i had to do 120 sit ups.
Then after i completed it, he told me something really bad.
I DID HIT 11M.
T-T WALAO EH.
Then i did an extra 70… T-T….
But its okay.
I benefit from it, no?
I hate sit ups, but i need to build them up to support my developing back muscles.
So… TOO BAD, HANNAH.
Take the chance to cuild abs too. Haha.
Ah well.
After that, came home lor.
Then wasted quite alot of time, but i did get some work done, okay.
Seriously, i dont feel like doing prelims at all. Im like unprepared and so relaxed and not kanchiong at all. Its just so dumb la. Im actually seeing next week as ASEAN TIME instead of PRELIMS TIME. lol! Its just so wierd. I think halfway in the exam i might just start fantasizing about vietnam and asean instead of doing my exams. lol.
And please lor. We’re not even prepared for our exam. lol. We only ended syllabus, when? 2 weeks ago? Then the teachers are like piaing spa skill 3? Can? walao. Then physics we havent even touched a paper till now where we got a june paper. And like im nowhere near done revising physics or bio. At least bio i got one more week but there’s a chance i might not study at vietnam, which is not quite a comfortable thought.
Im so dead.
God, save me.
Sigh…
But i cant wait for this friday!
Though its the start of prelims,
its also the ASEAN meeting! Where we finalise all the stuff and also get our awesome team singapore stuff! YAY!
Hahahaha. Ah well.
So anyway.
Thats all for today.
3 more days of school!
And oh.
Happy Belated National Day, my dear singapore.
I have been increasingly proud to sing singapore related songs and the national anthem and pledge.
I guess as an athlete now representing singapore at a greater scale, it means so so so much more to me to sing the national anthem and say the pledge. I am absolutely proud the be a singaporean. yea.
And i will do my best for singapore.
I love sinagpore,
And I Love Jesus! ^_^
hahaha.
G’night.
Ah well.
