Just came back from interact camp...super tired. Hadn't really slept well last night, played cards till past 3am. Woke up at 6+ and got down to the pull-up bars area to do some exercise. Yeah, and water games were fun this morning.

Thought of coming back and CHIONG!!! my homework after lunch, but told myself later that I would play guitar for 15minutes before studying. Instead, I went to sleep immediately after playing guitar for less than 5minutes. Hmmm, I will be out tonight, and tomorrow will be another busy day....where can I find the time to read up on the parts im lagging behind.......????? Haiz....

I was disappointed initially when I heard the news...I never expected that it would actually happen...

I had put in my 110% of effort last year to train a Secondary2 team from scratch for the competition then. Usually, only 2 teams will be sent by sji-sjab to participate in the zone competition, the secondary4s for the Advanced category and the Secondary3s for the Basic Category. I proposed to the officers that the Secondary2 team be formed early so that they could participate in the march competition last year in the same category as their Sec3 seniors. It wasn't important that they won, what I wanted was for the team to be experienced before they handle their competition in Secondary 3. They disagreed at first, thinking that it was absurd, but on the promise that the training of the crucial teams would not be compromised, they eventually allowed. Even so, it was impossible to train a team in merely 2months since every team in sji-sjab history had at least 1year training before their first competition. Nevertheless, I tried my best as their trainer...and the Secondary 2 team(cancer) tried their best too. And they managed to attain the 2nd runner-up at the competition, having to compete against the Secondary3s of SJI and that of other schools in the zone. It was quite good results to me since I had expected them to get last place......The main objective was to allow them to have an insight to competitions so that their championship in the zone competition in 2007 would be a certainty.

Ok, this year......But before getting to the bad news...hmmm, got to compliment team scorpio(Sec4s) for winning the championship for the 3rd consecutive time at zone comp, though not very sure if they had attained a clean sweep. Their hard work and utmost effort had indeed paid off. However team cancer had only attained 2nd runner-up....and there were only 2 other schls competing in that category this year.....so....... they were the last place.........

3rd position with 2 mths exp.......3rd position with 12mths exp.....wth happened in the 10 months?? Its quite bad.....really...its the first time after so long that SJI had not won the championship at both categories. This meant that team cancer would not represent the zone at the national competition......hmm, it is a drop to sji's winning streak and sji's representation of the zone at the national competition....Haiz...................maybe I should go back and help team scorpio to attain victory at national competition.....maybe.......but I have already passed out and graduated, should I still be concerned with things going on there?

Anyway, squad cancer, I wish you guys all the best on your road to ncoship...Don't be put down by this defeat. Instead, work hard in other areas and show the fighting spirit of a true lasallian.
