Phew...Barely passed napha today thanks to my lousy running. Now lets go through a dramatised version of my napha experience today.
On tuesday, david tan told us that guys would be taking their napha next thursday because he wanted the girls to be tested first. However, our four period pe teacher, mr ong gave us a surprise. he wanted everyone to take their test today. Ok...no harm but i am not really mentally prepared.
First station, sit ups. Not much action here. Managed to do 55.
Second was sit and reach. Nothing much to say since its just stretching. Managed to get a not so bad pass.
Third, standing broad jump. Usually i got a borderline pass or even a fail. This time i passed by 9cm. Yay! Quite good considering my standard.
Fourth, Pull ups ( or is it called chin ups?). Some drama here. Finally managed to do 10 pull ups. Yay! Didnt really have confidence at first as my usual was around 7. When i did 9, i was thinking 'omg... I didnt know i could do that' and then i pulled a ten. Thanks to sa3 guys for their support too=)
Was surprised to be able to do better than usual for the first 4 stations. Sort of felt some aura around me giving me motivation. Haha maybe i am thinking too much.
Fifth was shuttle run. Bad things start from here as the aura faded. Got a 10.2 on first run. 0.1s short of A. And im the only guy who did not get an A in my class for this. Decided to try my best for 2nd run. When mr ong said 'go!' , i sprinted like hell to the line but shit! Something was wrong with my shoes and i did a freaking tokyo drift. Those who saw it would think it was damn dramatic. Hurt my ankle a little too. So mr ong gave me one more try. My shoes felt REALLY slippery this time. Had to stop a while to balance myself at the turns. Got a 10.7 s for 2nd round in the end. So disappointing as it is a 0.5 deprovement from my first round.
Lastly 2.4! Wasnt feeling very well at the start already. Did not really have the mood to run but i had to anyway. First round was ok and the pain came on the 2nd round. There was this sharp pain at my lower chest area( forgot the term for it) and i was not even halfway through. Endured till the 4th round where the pain was so great till i could not take it anymore.But i kept telling myself it was the last station and i dont want to redo this again. So i painfully ran through the 5th round. Last round was really hell. Well, it was worse than hell. But there was hope! Wan Qi came to help me go through the last round. Thanks for letting me use you as a support. Haha. Ran much faster with her pulling me along. Treat you to a drink next time=) Reached the finishing line and collasped. Felt like dying already. Pain was too great. Btw timing was 12min32s(kns) In the end struggled to the bleaches to take a break. Had a tough time walking to the bus stop after that. Hope i will be ok tmr.
