i went to school early today, at 730 instead of 930, which was the usual reporting time on mondays. this was because i had to attend ct rep training which, by the way, was the most pointless training and terrible use of time ever.
i really do appreciate going for leadership training, i really do. previous sessions i've been to in my three years in AHS Council and also as a CCAL in AHS were all really quite exciting and interesting. of course i skipped CCAL camp which was held last year for all J1 CCALs. this CT rep training was really quite pointless. firstly, there was nothing that was taught that i didnt already know, secondly, there was nothing that was taught. i just spent one and a half hours slacking around talking to grace.
i didnt even get to eat the refreshments, since there was one table and a very, very long queue and five minutes to assembly time. but it's a good thing that i didnt eat anything, coz there was PE immediately after morning assembly.
PE today was the most i've pushed myself in awhile. we did a grand total of 8 rounds around the track today. 4 rounds warm up, 3 rounds of striding (in 1min45s) and 1 final round of 2X200m. i really am amazed im still alive blogging about this. it was totally psycho and crazy, and even the more fit people in the class were having a tough time standing straight, much less run properly. my arms were weak, i was breathing for my life and my legs were wobbly. ah, the perils of JC2 PE lessons.
not that i hate it. i mean, of course i dont like to run around like a crazed camel and sweat buckets like some pig in an oven. (the weather today was not very helpful either). but i do believe it is time to whip myself into shape (in preparation for the dreaded NS coming up at the end of the year), and if i dont have the motivation to whip myself, why not let someone else (i.e. Mr Kevin Loh) do the whipping for me? at no cost even, his salary totally covered by the MOE.
PE is not enjoyable, but necessary if i do not want to go into NS and be tortured because i cant run 2.4 without being half-dead at the end of it. i know there's still a long way for me to go before i can even claim to be half-fit, but i'm working on it and i really hope that by the time i reach my NAPFA, i will be able to get at least a silver (so i get 2 months off serving my country). and by the time i shave my head bald and hug a rifle to sleep, i will be able to take any physical activity they throw at me. (of course it must be within human means)
i shall end my post on that note. i need to finish up essay tonight or vadi will fine me (or worse, sit on me!). there's 20 mins to 《黄金路》, dont know if i can finish up by then...
PS. im toying with the idea of setting up a class facebook group. i can do that now since im the CT rep. muahahahaha. oh im such a facebook addict...
