hello team. havent been here in the longest time. havent blogged here for e longest time! my my, e team has matured quite a bit i must say...seeing you guys on sat trgs and all.. so anyways, this place needs a new entry! a new entry to commemorate the coming of nationals. but since i left mg, i kinda stopped blogging abt running bcos i rarely blog here now.because i feel that e new seniors shld take over this position. hahahaa..so since i lack the style of -run-blogging-, i am gonna quote frm e previous 2 natls. our seniors were a totally inspiring bunch.

charissa 05': and as i ran, i really wanted to proved most of all to myself what i could do. and even towards the end, i didn't slow down. okay this part would sound pretty dumb but oh well. (this happened at the last stretch where i was sprinting towards the finish line) i just imagined a conversation with God that went like"do you trust that i'll keep you safe? i have plans to prosper you, not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future. would you trust in me, and let me show you what you can do with my help?"

jing 05:
we run with the cross on our backs.
with christ in our hearts.
with the goal set in our minds

in rj, things are very different in contrast to e christian running environment i ran in for e past 4 yrs. and aiyah, it's really different in terms of team dynamics and all.. treasure mgx man.

tiff t 06: it still is an amazement to me. can you imagine where we'd be if we were much better behaved?! or if you guys listened to me more..(then i wldnt have to keep shouting DONT BLOCK THE RUNNERS! a million times. it affects people's mental man..i dont like shouting at people) haha i was kidding abt the latter. anyways, yeah my point: see how much moreeee you guys could have gone. the potential within each indiv summed up is good enough to bring you guys to the top! next yr next yr :)
(reading this now, i am rmbed of how much potential i saw in you guys last yr after natls 06. and it's down to 3 more days...i cant fathom how you guys'd do.. do e seniors proud :D)

tricia 06: anyway, looking for a source of inspiration/motivation in running?
1.you have it in your comp! - THE TRAINING LOG hahahhaa.
2.think of how you would wanna feel after natls has ended. do not give in to tiredness! (like the kenyans! hahaha)

when you slow down in a run, you make the run easier for your competitor.
Is that what you want?
when you slow down in a run, you feel more comfortable, the run becomes easier to handle,
what are the chances of success?

the seniors have left behind a legacy so great .continue to thrive in it :)
Races on the track have only two things to do. They have to do with the gun and the finish line. Run like crazy when you hear one...and don't stop until you cross the other.

hello crossies! hope you all have been doing well. HAPPY NEW YEAR! :) in advance.

i've heard about your new teachers in charge and your new attires - the white jersey and matching shorts you guys wore ytd. HMMM, it really gets me thinking on whether i should feel lucky or not to be sec 4 this year. hahahahha. anyway i heard mg's gonna get new dry fit pe shirts or something?!?!

seemingly interesting, mg never fails to upgrade itself every year, i think. :)

anw, im sure you all must be REALLY EXCITED to see your new juniors haaha. i'll miss you guys for sure, in different ways. train hard! everyone has the potential to do well, its just a matter of willpower and time you are willing to commit. (including your sleep and etc..) dont get all too :S about it if you ever do, i'm sure if you really want it, you can do it! ahaah okay take care (dont get injured esp!) and have a good year ahead!

tricia.

Farmland

Today the crossies headed to the Land of the Greens! :D

We saw wet rice padi fields,
and a farmer rolling up his pants!
We decided to take a half an hour UBER SUPER TIRING morning jog and ended up running a repeated route.
We came back to the field,
and saw carrots sprouting from the ground!!!
MMMM (:

Then, we saw... THE FARMER'S WIFE!
Pregnant!

And suddenly we saw... Capsicum growing from the ground too!
:D:D:D

We decided to go pluck them,
and got a free mud bath!
I think we all got smoother skin now. ^^

I'm talking lots of nonsense. I'm bored.

WHAT A BLAST!

i'd say it was the best training ever!
cross sleepover.absolutely fantastic! here's what we did.

we did our self training in tiff and jan's pool. :)
we also made sure we were well hydrated(through bladderbursting means)
we ate a hearty meal with lots of fruits and veggie for dinner.prepared by uncle omar!
we stretched our little fingers with certain white tiles as well. and hey, we sharpened our minds at the same time!

oh. and sheryl has certain tendacies you have to beware of regarding cute little boys like ryan.
and jan's idea of crossbonding is watching a lesbian movie(supplied by sheryl)
and rachel is a blanket stealer!
and back to point,
we watched an inspirational movie, goal, to motivate us.(and for some, to gain some rest.)
and we even decided on jerseys for cross shirt next year?anyone against it?
we even practised how to be inscrutable. and to learn to manage our money and taking risks.
we were even up early to slice apples for breakfast!

what an educational event! wow. XD

and tiff and jan, thank you so much!! it was lots of fun. your parents are wayy nice!

man. my fingers are itchy. can we set up a mahjong session sometime soon, FAST.
