NUS Trials

Ok, so the much needed one week break is finally here!! Had a pretty relaxing weekend and it's great how much i can sleep to regenerate myself. haha Anyways, next week will also be NUS trials. A pretty small affair but i try to hype it up alittle with logos and stuff, and trying to get sean, our sports officer, to get a gun for us. He is reluctant of course, because it means more work for him. but shall ty and push for it instead of the trials just being another training run. I want the guys something to look forward too.

The lanes have been filled quite nicely, 100 200 and 400 all have at least 7 participants, with 200 already full house! for men la. as for the women, noone apart from mel wants to run anything above 100m. Great. haha But i figure mel and kitfei will get 1-2 for 100m, so yujia probably have to take up 200m. As for 400m, only gloria is going good. I've no idea who our 400m hurdlers are. haha I still remb last year sharony was battling it out with a girl name beatrice from nyp! haha

Several good contenders for the 4 spots for 4x100m, including changxi, cassondra, yujia, joella, melanie and kitfei. And we still have the 2 100m hurdlers amanda and angel as back up reserves! haha 4x4 different story la.Got 3 willing person I'll be happy. haha Mel, gloria. And i cant think of any crosser girl who wanna/can run 400m. Havent seen haryati in training.

Softball trials went well i must say. Well it looks promising for one, secondly i'm quite pleased the way I conducted the trials. Structured and efficent in spotting who can or cannot catch. Most start out unsure, but once they get the hang of the glove and all, they're not bad!

DARN. In singapore, the only lucrative sports are long distance events, be it Triathlon, Biathlon, 10k runs, half marathon, marathon. At least when i train, i train with some monatary incentive. Gone are the days of school and passion. We need some financial motivation too! And that's where it gets depressing. Like "What am i training for?"

Then you begin to understand why people quit track. There's really no motivation or incentive by yourself.

And that's quite sad.

NEW CAR IS IN!! Camry 2.0 which is more of a passenger/vip car than a driver's car. Meaning it's a big, smooth handling and stable car. But as a driver, I just dont feel it. haha
