Impaled

I have a rather unglamorous injury.

Today spent much of my day dealing with physics. Studying in church is relatively productive, and CSToh book seems rather useful! I'm still left with several holes here and there which I haven't read. And again, all I've done for physics is read. I haven't even taken a look at the revision package! The future of my math seems bleak. I wonder if I can get close to the likes of an E grade this time. Hopefully. I have this weekend to settle math once and for all at least for paper 1. Statistics can wait till the following week though.

Yf was rather sluggish today. I didn't like preparing for the Youth Sunday but everyone was doing it, so I had to play along. All we had to do was to stand and sing, not very hard right. And then Bryan Lim started acting in a tremulous manner when he saw the mid year examination schedule. He was literally vibrating!!

Anyway, sorry I had to burst Darius's bubble today. He claims his friend runs 5 minute plus in 2.4 Km run because he consumed some "steroids". Running 5 minute plus in 2.4Km in almost inhumanely impossible. I don't know about serious world class athletes but I doubt so. Using common sense, running 5 minute 30 Seconds for 2.4 Kilometers would require an average speed of 7.727272 m/s. And in that case, you cannot start of at this speed, and have to accelerate to reach it. Thus the maximum speed has to be above 8 m/s. The record for 100 metre run is 9.72 . That is almost 10m/s which is not really far from 8 m/s, and that is only for a short instance, a short sprint with all a person's energy. Thus is it impossible to run 2.4Km run, in 5 minutes 30 seconds, especially when you're a normal person. Possibly with or without steroids.

Okay, that's pretty unnecessary.

We played freeze-and-melt again at some park after Yf. This time round, for a shorter time. I injured very badly 3 seconds into the game where I was chasing Bryan Lim who was on the playground. The exit he took was this red slide elevated at around 65 degrees (or slightly less). It was a children's slide, probably about 70-80cm in total width with a partition in the center. (thus, imagine if you can, two sliding planes on one slide). He slide down rather carefully as he properly got onto one lane. I didn't see, (cause of the darkness and haste of the situation), aggressively slide down right down the middle. And then, I got impaled by the partition of the slide. I tried to slide down the partition. Due to self-exerted force and gravitational force (I tried to slide down remember?), my butt got impaled pretty deep. (and yes, deep!). And till now, it is still hurting insanely.

Bad experience, traumatic one too. I hate slides now.

But it was fun. I mean, there were outsiders at the park, two people swinging at the swing watching us play. They were friendly and talking to some of us who got caught near the swing. I hope we weren't making too much noise. I could imagine myself living there and thinking what the heck. We didn't stay till too late, so I hope everything would be fine and we could play there often next time.

Why am I starting to post in simplistic manner.

I'm rather brain dead now. Awww
