It was a test for me, especially when my endurance and determination comes in play. I was training for my 10km run, which I would be taking part in the Standard Chartered Marathon. It sounds easy to run but come to think about it again, actions speak louder than words.

Anyway, I met Shuai Xun and Yong Hong for yesterday's training. First of all, I need to apologise to them for being late. I was quite reluctant to get myself out from my house. Anyway, at least I brought them the hand-made pizza that was done by my Sister and well, partly me. Dont ask me why my sister wants to prepare pizza in the morning but I guess she wants me to have some since I didnt have my share the previous day due to my commitments for the Sport & Fitness Expo.

Well, I managed to run 8km in 40 minutes but I guess I was not putting enough effort. Although Shuai Xun had 8 rounds, I guess I should not be competing against him. In such a race, competition with others is not important factor. The best challenge is against yourself. Its the determination that one has and how far you can exceed your limits to achieve your goals. I had to stop at the 20th round as I was suffering from blisters. I need to make sure that I'm in a perfect condition for my run, as I will be exhausted the day before for my soccer tournament.

Anyway, once I stopped, I had soccer after that with my S.W. mates before heading to the swimming pool to chill myself in the icy water with Shuai Xun and Yong Hong. Alright, I did something stupid and I suffered from cramps on my left foot. I was kicking the water, practising the kick for backstroke and guess what, the pain occured. I guess Yong Hong did a great help for me by helping me to lift my leg up in the water. ZZzz.. The worst part was when he laughed, he moved my cramp foot, inflicting more pain!!! ~_~" Ouch~~!!!

V.E. practice was quite tired too. I realised that I didnt complete my presentation for today and by the time I reached home, it was around 11.45pm. I ended up doing the slides till 3 plus in the morning. I managed to knock-out at 4am but woke up at 7.30am for school. That wasnt called enjoying your off day. It is a torture. I was in school, hoping to get a nap but I didnt. Presentations for the entire day is a killer. I was dying for sleep... Gosh!! Now I'm home, at least I gonna sleep before 11pm today or else I really gonna be the next panda of V.E..

Before I go, I was pleased to hear that I got through for the finals of the school's Orion Singing Competition. Not only me, Zulfadli, Ping Ding and Paul were into the finals. I am happy for them but I was not in the mood for celebration. Yi Tian didnt get to the finals and Ping Ding and I were not feeling that happy. Its like... Everyone's in except you are being left out. I dont know why I would have such feelings but one thing I know is that with a higher status or greater achievements, it also means the greater the loss one will have.

I dont wish a competition that will end friendships. Seriously, I was thinking whether I should continue with the competition or not. With all the commitments in my attachment and for my other friends, its still a big question if I should drop out of the competition. Haix... What a delimma... Well, I am not trying to get sympathy from others but that's my thinking. What matters most is my decision and its whether I choose to take this path to my dream.. or not... =X
