...road run...

i am so proud of myself!!! there's NJ road run yesterday and it covered a distance of 3.7km for the girls' route and i did not stop and walk at all. yeah!!! thanks goi for all the encouragement along the way. this year's road run was fun especially the interhouse cheering competition. our class went to the side of the track to cheer on the others who were running. suddenly we saw a familiar figure enter the school gate and it was our hot favourite teacher, mr yong!!! hahaz.. he was very scary towards the end of the run. he shouted something with his mouth wide opened. they said it was to make him run faster. i don't know how true that is but i will just accept it. i admired him even more after the road run. one of his canoeists was injured before the run but he still ran the race. for that, i salute his courage to challege himself. ater mr yong had crossed the finishing line, he went back to suppor the canoeist guy. i could see that he was in great pain because he was gripping mr yong's hand as if he was going to die of pain any moment. i could see the close bond that mr yong had built with his fellow canoeists which really touched me. =) was damn high after running. i was telling my classmates lame joke about the child and fan, jumping around and shouting away. haha... so fun. it was my first time i felt the ignis spirit in nj.

burn, burn, burn, burn....

that's the entire version of the ignis cheer. hahaz.. we rock!

after road run, i was damn hungry. on our way to town, we took a bus. i pitied those who were on the same bus as us, including all NJCians because we all stank. our body gave out this foul smell after the run especially when we did not bring or change into another set of clean clothes. yucks... went to the NYDC outside heeren to have lunch. the place rocks especially the red and comfortable sofa. as usual, their food portion is huge. we all had a hard time trying our very best to finish up our food. i was intenting to share the mudpie with beth but we gave up the idea half way through our meals.

after that, we decided to take neoprints. i and elieen, my fellow manager, were playing around with this neoprint machine. putting our faces v close to the camera and making funny faces... hahaz.. so dumb. i felt like a 5 yr-old kid messing up the house when my parents are not at home.hahaz... we were screaming and shouting away when we were taking the neoprints. it was hard for us to contain our excitement. my face was so so so so v v v v BIG because i was standing in the first row with wenting. arghhhh!!!! so big.

there's guide activity today. it was their last campfire (cf) rehearsal before the actual one which falls on the 5th feb. i was not present at the previosu rehearsal but compared with what i heard of the previosu rehearsal, i think there was improvement made but it's not good enough. i am not trying to find fault with them but there was really something lacking in the rehearsal. their attitudes towards the rehearsal were not excellent. they did not treat it seriously, they did not feel the sense of urgency, they did not feel the importance of this last and final rehearsal before the actual one which is only a week away. i did not want their cf to be screwed up. to me, cf has always played a major role in my guiding years. i always enjoyed myself during cf and i loved them. i miss cf after i graduated and i still do miss cf. i want this cf to leave good memories for them and everyone who is coming on 5th feb. i wanted to wake them up but the anger could not boil up within me. like what chihui said, we were looking at the cf as a third party so naturally we wun feel that much for this cf as 2 years ago. i did not scold them. i did not punish them.

anyway, the guides juniors were the first batch of friends who sang a birthday song for me. so touched. i was shocked that they knew my birthday. later i found out it was one of my ex-patrol members who initiated that. *sob so sweet right? that's what i called sisterhood. =D

25 more hours to go. hahaz...
