BATTLEFIELD 2

1) School is ok. I've kinda got used to the fact that we stick out like pins among the haystack. haha. DSA students have their own school uniforms you know. I was gonna buy the hc uni, but then SOMEONE stopped me cuz she wanted someone to train with her.
2) Lectures are okay... Some teachers I kinda like, some I don't. I prefer the High School canteen. It's cheaper and more to my liking.
3) Haha, we've only been to school four days and we've already gone through two tests. One, was OMG GP essay. Like OMG. haha. But basically it was like SS, and since Aly and I did the question before, we just rewrote everything we wrote last time. haha. Then next was MCQ, which was today. Haha. I was walking with Andrea to school, then on the way we were wondering what the MCQ was about. haha. Then I was musing that it would be grammar. But then we both agreed that this wasn't primary school and they wouldn't put us through something like this. HAHA. Then it REALLY did turn out to be grammar!!! Haha. I loved doing it. Haha, really fun. We had 50 mins. I finished in 15 mins. Then spent the rest of the time checking over and then double-checking over as well as calculating the marks that I would surely get. Haha.
4) Man, why is the gym all the way over at the other end of the school??? It SERIOUSLY takes FIFTEEN minutes just to walk all the way over there. And under the HOT SUN as well. Darn.
5) I've been training everyday this week. But it looks like this hasn't any effect on my routine. Today was the worst. Okay, I know I asked for it. You see, it was about barani. (Yes, I finally know how to spell it) I didn't like the fact that I did it the front-pike-then-twist-at-the-end way. Wang Jiao Lian told me to take it easy and just get used to the feeling before doing the nicer looking way. Which is the front-layout-then-twist-at-the-end way. So today, I totally ignored him, and tried to change my barani. Did it into the sponge pit. Then transferred to the tramp. And then I just kept falling and spinning out of control. And Wang Jiao Lian saw, and scolded me. Said I'll never be able to do my old barani anymore and that I'll get hurt. OF WHICH ALL CAME TRUE. I couldn't get back my old barani. And I'm just stucked at the point between front pike and front layout. Worse still, I don't know which way I turn. Cuz when I think about turning, I just think to turn, and not which way I'll turn. Which totally sucks. And then I fell a few times on the crash mat. And there was one time I fell on my left knee. And it formed a bruise within ten seconds. I think it's more serious than usual. Haha, cuz usually my bruises don't hurt till I press them. But this one hurts when I bend my knee. Think it has something to do with bone injury? haha. Anyway, I've one whole week till the next training, so I figure it'll heal by then. And so I left earlier than usual, feeling extremely depressed. Cuz now I can't complete the whole routine without briyani. Oh, btw, today was the first time I did the whole routine on the high tramp. Before I lost my briyani, that is.
6) I found that by skipping lunch, or eating less, I can lose one kg. Haha. So I officially weighed in at 45 kg today, but then after dinner, I weighed one kg more. haha. MY YEAR-END GOAL: To weigh 42.5 kg again. Oh, and I found out that some of the guys at gym, weigh just a tiny bit more than me. Haha. And they're so much taller. Which sucks as it shows how fat I am.
7) I seem to fall sick at the worst times. Haha, last year, I managed to stay healthy until 'O' Levels. YES, I KNOW. WHAT ILL LUCK. So before my geog paper 2, I fell sick. Like quite bad. Fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat. Haha, I was even sick on the day I took the geog paper, and even the next day, when I took the Humans paper. The usual flu bug. And I thought I screwed it up. Haha, turned out, I got an A1 for it.
8) I think right, I only got into HC just for gym. I think I fell in love with its gym at first sight. Maybe I should have tried for RJ, but then, that would be like betraying Mr. Lim. Cuz he and the coach at that side, are supposedly arch enemies. Then maybe I should have just gone into CJ instead. I love the atmostphere there. But cuz there'll be some changes this year, so I decided against it. I think, all this time, I've only been thinking about gym and training. Seriously. Like nothing else gets into my head. I spend sleepless nights just thinking about my routine. Maybe this is some kind of weird obsession. Like I train EVERY SINGLE DAY. I suck. haha.
9) Oh yeah, haha, yesterday was kinda scary. Haha. I was practicing my barani. Then flew out of control and landed on the crash mat, THROAT FIRST. haha. Kinda of hurt. Must have looked bad, cuz everyone gathered around me asking if I was ok. Now, if that wasn't bad enough, I did it again. But this time, I was trying to copy Aki's move. As in going from back-drop backwards to another back-drop. So I tried, and only arched upwards and landed trying to do a handstand, which only resulted in another trashing to my throat. haha. So after that, it kinda hurt, swallowing. And I couldn't really sleep last night, cuz I kept thinking I was gonna drown in blood in my sleep. You know, like internal bleeding or something. Haha, I know I'm paranoid. So don't ask. Anyway, still aches today. Haha, and I think my Adam's apple is swollen. (Yes, I think I have one)
10) So yeah, gymnastics (trampoline) is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Just from the past two days, I've gotten bad abrasions on my right knee, feet and both elbows. As well as a swollen throat, and a really badly bruised knee. haha. BUT I'M LOVING IT ANYWAY. Oh yeah, it isn't really as bad as it sounds. haha.
