Blarghz!!!
I think Stitch has a point. This is becoming an emo blog... Too many depressing things happening in this period of time.
First off, I'm damn sian because the very first notice this week shot me in the heart REAL bad... New P.E. teacher (who is a temp. ODAC tch too) told Mr IZ Lim that I was one of the SLOPPY boys in ODAC. Why? Because cannot do pull-ups...
*Are you sure you're using the correct word to describe? These things are INEVITABLE! I'm already doing extras you know? If not, why my pull-ups in the past and now are different?
Then.. Knowledge Test for Mountains Lvl 2. Kena SHOT for the lousy effort I put in (which I sorta agree because I sacrificed it for Econs test.. Fail Econs and I'm gonna get MORE DEPRESSED...) Didnt even get to look at past Knowledge test then so kinda forgot abt highest mtns. in each continent, m'sia and in e world etc. Then also got shot for the excuses I put inside.. No initiative... Some J2 wrote also abt the detention part, say I promised ODAC abt attendence (I DIDNT FORGET!!!) and that some people lived further than me. Do that J2 know abt a particular transport others might own? Did they know that there's some ambiguous thing that they wrote of which they didnt go and actually check? I appreciate the concern, yes, but the tone wasn't very pleasing. Purpose is to kick ppl, to wake up! To me I think it backfires (to some extent) I'm not gonna comment anymore.. So must DMTL (Do More Talk Less)
Didnt got over the paragraph (I was shot for) on Monday... Sulking the whole day... Even affected my attendance for ODAC Family Run on Tue. J2s probably think this batch is like a comedy (acc. to IZ Lim). Eventually came over it end Tue, thanks to my new Econ teacher Mr Chia.. Somehow councilled me.. Felt better a bit.. Promised him to not sleep in class to keep up with studies. How I repay him? By FcuKing it up... Slept through so many lessons the whole entire week! NAH BEH! Still burdened those around me who woke me up so many times... CB..
Thought Wed was a bit better though. Though I looked on the bright side now. I was wrong... Wed morn run.. Woke up even earlier than usual, caught the FRIGGIN' SAME BUS AS THE TRAIN AFTER!!! Damn stupid... Morning run was cancelled.. then see day leader cry weak tears.. still eventually got IZ Lim to let us run... then run also never complete.. Make things worse, I was dying on the track during the "last" lap (Eat more than supposed to frm last Sat. onwards) so Stamina and physical oh so FcuKed up...
Wed afternoon training started off well. Pull-up bar etc. still average. But come to Log GST.. PHAILZ! From previous 10min55sec deprove like maddd till 11min38sec. Why? Coordination off.. Injured supposed to not help, in the end some did.. Instructions given then, all different.. NO CONTROL AT ALL! Priority is on TEAMWORK, moving at the same time with the same step.. then time will auto fall into place. But what happen? Many probably emphasize more on timing than team.. STU-PID lor... Why so screwed up? God knows man...
Thur was the only day of relief. Only thing to talk abt was Drain Walk.. Finally managed to do it in PE. Interesting and all.. But based on previous accounts from ODAC, the one we did was the mini version. ODAC Orientation did from Hostel to 1 round around e college. Too bad I wasn't there then, would have been quite something...
Friday.. ODAC Knowledge Retest! Did all the stuff I had to catch up with. Spent the entire night finding answers to the failed attempt. Didnt find all though, after realising that I missed out a few... Not to mention new questions replacing some old ones.. Punishment in the end for afternoon training was pitch tent at field to study. Pitch tent also got problem, cause ground too hard (extremely dried up) and cannot stick pegs in properly.. Didn't like the way my tent looked.. Test results end up got SC grade (Suck Cock?) so have to solo do Solitary Confinement in a tent and study the test all over again.. IZ Lim showed us a vid (a past ODAC senior dedicated to him) b4 montage then which said something about "Nobody can take away your dignity. Except yourself." Things like these are easy to say, but not easy to believe...
Lost my basketball skillz from PAE then so I totally become a liability to the class if I even try to help them, let alone volunteer, in inter-class basketball. Hell, I think the Netball gals in the class probably own me like SH!T.. Good for them, bad for me... How to improve sia??? Already got no time (or is it poor time management?) to juggle academics to not fail promos, ODAC for not being another liability hopefully (which I think I'm becoming..) and to teachers (I dont want to let their efforts go to waste..) I know I have to study for my own sake but I'm not handling the stress and pressure well! Somebody help me! I'm withdrawing to myself again.. I dont want that to happen.. (XS)
Positive thing was that I broke my 2.4km Personal Best.. Somehow I didnt felt happy from that.. Dunno why.. From b4 June XP 10:29 to 10:15... Still slower than most of the guys inside... man...
To top it all off, I have to prioritize for Saturday (aka. now). Got optional ODAC training (more than 1/2 the batch going and I'm not one of them.. FcuK sia!), invitation to meet up with small group of classmates (one which I really dislike is tagging along..), DRUMMING and tuition for Geog from my sis's BF... Had to give up ODAC and now a part of me is hurting inside real badly.. They are going to learn smth and I'm going to lose to them in that aspect. IZ Lim would probably (high chance) wont want to reveal to those who missed it what they missed on this special weekend training. I've lost a great opportunity because I cant have the same mindset I did during Semester 1 (or I'll phail promos).
But I still see that I'm not improving enough.. WHY?!?!?!?! Give up almost 100% on gaming and still cannot solve past problem.. DAMN (insert vulgarity here) SIA!!! >=S
Everybody is moving up but I'm not doing well.. I dont wanna be sloppy.. I dont wanna be withdrawn again.. I dont wanna face those times again.. I'm not gonna reveal smth I know which shouldnt have known (*hint* guess if u know..)
But I'mNOT GONNA QUIT!!!That's not in my dictionary. I'm going to fight all the fcukingwayyy to the end and I'm gonna die trying if I have to!!! More tests and tutorials await me and I'm gonna relish the pain... I'm going crazy but who cares?!!?!?
