I shall summarise my week since I hardly have time to blog during weekdays and I think this had been and will continue to be the case every week.

First of all, I want to thank CG 18/08 for the birthday song. Even though it was embarrassing, but I really appreciated the thought. ^^

This whole week had been really hectic for me, I'm not saying other weeks weren't, but for the first time, I really understood what 'Too many things, too little time' meant. I had to divide my time between trainings, competition, tutorials, GP reviews, and worst of all, the killer PI! Yes, I know I probably won't refer to it as a killer soon when more components of PW begins. There were quite a few days when I reached home at 9.30pm, have dinner(I think at such time, it's more appropriately known as supper), shower and then finally start on my work at 10.30pm, only get to go to bed at 1 or 2 in the morning and then wake up 3 and a half hours or 4 hours, at most, later to get ready for school. Then the whole routine repeats itself. No doubt, I felt like dozing off sometimes during lectures(especially during boring ones!), but I tried my best not to. Keyword: tried. But apparently not having much success.

Competition on last Wednesday. Jitters! But everyone played great! Though I think I played exceptionally oooglily(uglily). The way I play has always been ugly, but it was exceptionally ugly on that day. Lol.Wasn't quite satisfied with myself. Girls, TJC vs. SRJC, 5-0. Boys, TJC vs. IJC, 4-1. Girls will be up against SAJC on Monday. Double jitters!

By the way, CG 18/08 came in 1st for English Fair Exhibition and won ourselves $100 worth of Ben & Jerry's! That's about a scoop of ice cream for everyone! Going for ice-cream as a class, I like the idea of that! I wasn't present for contact time on Wednesday and when Wenhui told me the next day, I was like 'WHAT!?!' Haha, we weren't expecting to win anything after seeing other CGs' exhibitions because some of them were really good. How the hell did we manage to win, I have no idea.

Duathlon today was a great experience. My first time trying out for endurance sports. The 1st leg of the run was the worst. It was hell tiring. I don't know why. I wasn't even halfway through the route and my legs were already hurting like crazy. Too little warmups, probably. And I came in second-last for the 1st leg, but I think I should be considered last because the last girl was feeling unwell during the race, and she kinda dropped out of the race, and then join back in again. So technically, I was last. Lol. But we didn't come in last at the end! All thanks to Angelina! So, she was the second-last to leave the bikers' holding area because I was the second-last to finsh the 1st leg. I don't know how she did it, but she was one of the firsts to complete her 15km of biking. She must have biked damn fast la! And she claimed that she wasn't cycling very fast. And, she didn't look like she had perspired a drop when she came back, really. Conclusion: She has the speed + stamina. The 2nd leg of the run was quite alright, except that the sun had gone quite high up in the sky. I was cursing it everytime I ran out of the shade and into the sunlight. Lol. I think we got 20th or 21st position. And the goodie bags were fabulous! We got quite alot of things, Puma caps and best of all, the Duathlon Challenge 2008 tee which says 'DUATHLETE' in big bold letters on the front and depending on whether you were a runner or biker, it says 'runner' or 'biker' on the right sleeve. I love the tee alot! I feel so accomplished today! At least, I know I'm capable of 6km which I never thought was possible in the past. But 2.4km mock test next week is another thing. Haha. Anyway, I'll definitely join Duathlon next year if there's one.
