NJC Road Run '07 23rd

managed to come in as 23rd in the J2/IP4 Boys Category in the NJ Road Run today but i think i could have done better coz i already felt tired before the race even started lol. its probably coz of the hockey training yesterday (ran from NJ to Turf City, did physical training on leg muscles and ran back to NJ) and the lack of sleep (slept at 2am after reading the synopsis of 50+ chapters of a manga). and halfway through the run, i even had a stitch lol... my abs felt damn tight and it was really painful to run.

towards the end of the race, after entering the 1st of the 2 sch gates and about 300m from the finish line, i overtook Jerrick. kinda surprised seeing him there lol. didnt know he had so much stamina and could run so fast lol. when i passed the 2nd sch gate, i saw her... and then i sprinted towards the finish line.

this year unlike the last, our hockey team managed to clinch quite a few of the top 25 positions- tuck wen got 4th, zhi rong got 6th, chee seng 15th, haikal 16th.

after resting for like 5 mins, i wanted to register my chip. but it wasnt the J2's turn; they were still registering the chips for the J1/IP3. so i went over to the flag raising area to take my bag. when i came back to the grand stand, everyone was already seated and the performances had started... so i kept my chip since the prize presentation for the top 10 positions was gonna start soon. (this year they decided to cut the budget and only give prizes for the top 10 zzz) after everything was over, as i was going to the gents, i noticed that the lists for the top 25 people for each category were pasted on the wall in the middle section. so i went over to take a look at them and guess wad i saw?

i was appalled to see this FREAKING IMPOSTER who had the nerve to claim my 23rd position. then Mr Sham happened to pass by so i went to approach him to explain the situation. he felt that this was a serious case and asked me to look for Mr Menon and Miss Koh to get the case ressolved. but when i approached Mr Menon, i felt that all i got was bullshit. he told me i should have registered my chip. but how the hell was i supposed to know when to register my chip when there was NO FREAKING announcement for the J2s to register their chips in the flag raising area. i tried explaining that to him but he said the standings probably were moved up. BUT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. why? coz Jerrick, who came after me, told me that he received the 25th placing chip. and when i checked the list of the top 25 placings, Jerrick's name was written in the 25th position. SO THERE WAS NO UPWARD SHIFT IN THE PLACINGS. ITS IMPOSSIBLE. i tried explaining that to Mr Menon but he just took my chip and said it was over and hes not gonna freaking do anything. im seriously DAMN PISSED by the irresponsibility of this teacher. what he should have done at the least was to return me what i rightfully deserve- my placing. its not as if i was trying to demand him to go through the trouble of finding and catching that freaking imposter. what to do... but to right the wrong MYSELF.

then our class went for lunch with our J1 class. the girls from our class went first. the guys went later coz we were playing soccer lol. on the way there, i found out from my friends that Joseph Choy was from SJI and he's the very short guy with short hair and specs, currently in Softball.

anyway, the lunch was at the bukit timah plaza pizza hut. (i didnt know there was a pizza hut there lol) i was kinda surprised when we arrived. though it was supposed to be an interaction session between our class and our junior class, the girls (from our class) and the junior class was seated in two separate tables. i wonder how they interact lol... by telepathy? or morse code? lmfao.
