Update v5.21

Hi I haven't been posting for a really long time. I would like to begin by something that disturbed me. Someone visited my blog for over 10 times, and when I tried to click the website that the person originated from, it was, well, pornography. Being a morally upright person I quickly closed the window. This type of thing has occurred for more than once, and I would like to say that it is really disturbing. Okay this is meaningless ranting just forget whatever you have read and carry on.

I actually had a lot of things that I wanted to say but I forgot them all. Okay, let's start with the NAPFA. I CAN'T BELIEVE I PASSED MY NAPFA!!! Passing napfa would not be a problem for me, if not for the standing board jump. I failed it last year. Yes, all those sports inclined person, you may be laughing at me right now. I would just like to say that I'm not a very sporty person. In fact, I suck at sports. Therefore, I'm very happy that I passed my SBJ, and my last minute practice one week prior to the test has been proved effective. What's making me  happier is that when I jumped, my classmates in my group are all there supporting me, cheering and jiayou-ing for me. They also clapped for me after I managed to pass. They are the people who can jump 160+ cm, yet they did not laugh at me. In fact, they acknowledged that it is an improvement personally for me and they cheered for me. I was really happy. Thank you, to all the ppl there supporting me!

And then there is the 2.4 today, which I would call it really unlucky. We were supposed to find a partner to record down our timings, as the other run. So I paired up with Jia Yan and she went first. When she went the weather was fine, mild sunlight that is obscured by the clouds. When it's my turn, the first few rounds were alright, but after the third round or so, the clouds suddenly cleared, leaving us with a baking hot sun, and I have to finish my last few rounds in agony.

I had this agreement with Jia Yan, that if she managed to run the six rounds without a break, I will treat her a drink. If I managed to run the first four rounds without a break, I deserve a treat too (don't deem this as unfair, as I said before, I really suck as sports)

So, I gritted my teeth and with really really strong will and determination I managed my four rounds without stopping, despite the growing temptation since round 3. At round 5, I only had half of my life left. Relieved of being able to complete the challenge, I walked for a distance.

At the end of round 5, I had only one thought in mind: The last round! And it was perfectly disrupted when Jia Yan shouted to me: "After this round, it's the final round already."

"Wait what are you sure the final round is AFTER this round?"

"Yeah after this round it will be the final round..."

WTH? Isn't it the last round? I'm confused, and at the same time depressed, because it means:

1. I actually didn't complete my challenge, because I only ran 3 rounds without stopping (?)
2. I'm going to fail, because I already took up like around 14 minutes
3. I have to run two more rounds!

Feeling utterly depressed, I slowed down and started to rest, because after chionging the 4 rounds I could feel that my depth of breath was narrowed and there was pain radiating from the lower part of my right lung. I walked for quite a lot of distance, before I ran past the starting/finishing point and started to chiong for my last round. As I dashed around 50m forward, I heard people calling me. I turned. My classmates were running towards me, asking me to stop. Jia Yan was also among them, and she apologized profusely

I was baffled. Well, it turned out that I have finished my race. My counting is correct.

Time to blame Jia Yan.

Jia Yan was very very apologetic. I wasn't very angry, because at least I reached my own requirement of passing, and I completed the challenge, and I don't have to run anymore.

According to Jia Yan, she didn't finish her sentence. What she meant was something like "After this round, it's the final round already, this is the final round." Hmm how does that make sense... but as what she told me, she don't know what she's talking about either and she didn't phrase her sentence properly. Okay nm. She also said that if I continued my pace, my timing would be somewhere around 15 sth. That's kinda what I calculated too, but I know very well that I cannot sustain the pace. However, if I do know it's the last round, I might have walked less and just end it quickly.

But, all is over now. There is actually no point thinking of alternate endings, because it's near to impossible that we can predict the alternate endings.

Anyway, I'm still happy of my napfa this year in overall. For me, this was sth like challenging my own limits, and my limits for sports is way much harder to tackle than my limits of the academic side.

Therefore, I start to hold this belief, that since I managed to pass my napfa and ran under 17 min for 2.4, I have the ability to achieve much more in other areas, if I put in enough effort and determination.

Okay that's cliché  Pokemon is really fun was playing it all day long shouldn't play anymore the end.
