Ball of Doom

As usual, the highlight of the day include P.E! which is my favourite lesson of all. But before the highlights, I should at least cover the lowlights.

Most of today was okay, as it was practical day. Personally, I have nothing against practical, but I just suck at it. At least after putting in some effort I did not get a horizontal line on my graph (which was somewhat consoling). Chem practical we did titration again and I was very very blur. and now the teacher has the impression (or rather, he knows), im the blur type. If only i wasn't so blur.

Also had lectures, which was chem and maths. Chem was mainly on chem bonding, which was abit of a headache, so far. Defeatable enemies, but still, persistant and annoying ones. I still have some concepts which I am not clear on, and still, I have yet to battle the tutorial. (and im sure i'll prolly get owned badly while attempting.). maths was a breeze. differentiation, grrr. i still don't understand why i got pwned so badly during the era of vlee. (lol!), because now i can do it like...super easily. I don't know why. It seems super super easy.

And i'll eat my words once i fail the first test..

And yep, chem test coming up and I have not even revised the moles stuff. Oh wait, not even revise. I know nuts about it. Im sure 1 day is enough, or at least several hours or minutes. I learn fast, so can't help it.

The truth is, im quite imbal.

Finally to the point! PE! which had this post titled after it, "ball of doom". so today was a VERY relaxing session of PE. PE, as secondary and primary school kids define it as "play time". Majority of the time were spent with balls (and yep, they all look alike to me). And today, we played ball..

Just a very very heavy one.

With a very cheesy name. pokeball medicine ball! And no, it does not heal the pokemon it catches, but instead, in reality (and i really mean reality), you're gonna admit yourself to IMH if it ever hits any part of your head.

And im not exaggerating.

That ball weighted at least 5KG (approximately? my arms no weighing scale duh). and yes, the ball disturingly resembles a bowling ball (just without the holes in it).

And we gotta run laps with that ball sinking in our arms. And like titantic, the ball was ever trying hard to sink onto the ground, but we were not supposed to drop it (and thats selfexplainatory). running 1 lap (400m) after a series of strange excercises and laps as warmup, is gonna have great burden on your arms.

And we did like, 3-4 rounds? man, it was such a headache that I forgot how much I ran with that bloody heavy ball.

For me, at least. weak people with weak arms, the only choice i have is to run as hard as I can so that i can minimize the time the ball is on my arms.....

I pulled through. It was tough, but worth it. Nevertheless, this is gonna help our nafpa alot, and I appreciate that. It also contributes to our physical fitness and stuff. Our personal benefit. It's a good thing that the school is willing to do such things for us. that is, to train us not to become normal fit people, but almost to become atheletes.

I vowed to train hard. My stamina, my strenght, and my explosiveness. I gotta have this inorder to remain confident on the court. If I don't have the lenght, I will have the speed, and the strenght. And perserverance.

but one thing is that I really don't hope to see PE slacken after the NAfpa, as this would just simply prove that the school is simply doing this for beautiful nafpa results, which is really really sad. At least i hope mr kwok's lessons will ever be such moderately tough and challenging.

If PE is not challenging, and not physical enough, then what is it? rename it as games time then. After having 10 years of PE education in pri/sec sch, I finally had my first PE lesson in PJ here.

The rest were a waste of time. And i hope my impression on mr kwok's pe lesson don't drop after the napfa.

And besides that, I saw on the notice board that 8:59 is the award winning time for 2.4km run for J1s the year before. LOL thats kinda sad isn't it? thats only like 24 seconds faster than my sec 4 timing.

Now my class wants me to run for track and field. I can't do short distances because I am vertically challenged and shorter legs = lesser speed. but stamina, i do have abit of it. so maybe long distances i am able. but after a long PE lesson (and still having badminton to go for the evening), I rather not. And plus, Im not confident with myself. I don't wan to throw my own face. I like to run, but I know, im not a borned athelete. All that I have now is hard training and long hours of pia-ing badminton.

Im not cut out for sports. I just know it.

And today i was thinking. for a long time, i did not attend school. Is it because I had too much of holidays thats why I think i have at least enjoying school now? or is it because JC life is alot more lenient than secondary school.Or perhaps the new lecture/tutorial system suits me better?

I don't know. Got lots of stuff to ponder about and if I actually go do some thinking, before I know it it'll be bedtime. And i better refrain from doin that. I still have lots of tutorials to do (but fortunately none by tommorow). it scares me that everyone is working so hard. this time round, everyone is not afraid to flaunt their hardworkingness. Everyone is unafraid to tell the world that they want to do well in their studies. Have i stepped into a new world, a new culture?

Welcome to the world of muggers.

And i seriously don't feel welcomed at all.
