As, usual, the first day we were arrange according to our groups. 6 groups total.

Jeffrey (leader)
Bear Bear (assistant, now I realise why his name is called Bear Bear..LOL)
Joel
Bryan
Deric
Fun Soong
Kin Kit
Nicholas
Bonnie
Yee Qian
Tiffany
Me
(There was one more guy in our group, but he left at the 2nd day of camp and I forgot his name, sad =/)


So, they have normal worships and all. Worshipping is fun, oh...erh...I mean singing is fun. But, I feel like drowsing off to sleep, sometimes. Too tired I guess. Beg my pardon. =(


I felt touched watching Christians stepping out and talking to God(yeah, I was sitting there, coz I wasn't a Christian =/). Pastors helping one another to pray for one another. Helping each other to reach out and talk to God. Some shed tears, some break down and cried.
Oh well, that's the way things is =)




This year theme was "Escape". Escaping from temptations, struggles in life and watching pornography and stuffs, etc, etc.
The speaker was a Pastor, a women in her 40's and a her pro translator, translate so fast till I was speechless.
Obviously, they are better then last year speakers. They say one. But, I was still able to fall asleep in EVERY workshop talks. LOL. Sorry larh, my bad habit. Too tired mah :X But, of course, I did learn SOME things gua... :d


I love the food! D: Can't get to eat such nice and stuffy food like this at home ):
They serve 4 times a day. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Supper.(Unfortunately, I don't eat supper, it's bad for me *nods head* hehe ;p)


So, I woke up every morning and went jogging around the basketball court alone. Later on, force Yean Lynn to run with me.
*sigh I still can't face the fact about the past. How can I learn to let go when I want to move on...*sigh ._.
Oh crap! 1st day my left feet injury just healed then 2nd day after running the injury come back again. CRAB larh really!!!!! D:


1st day was protecting the egg. We broke the egg 2 times :D
So we were the last 3 and we have to hold the 1 litre of bottle 24/7 same as the flag.
We lost the bottle once. I forgot what was the punishment.
We lost the flag once and we went out and sing the coconut song. LOL. it was so funny.


2nd day was Water Olympic. We manage to get 3rd place and get rid of the bottle :D
Then we went swimming in the sea. Me & Yean had quite a fun day.
Race her from 1 end to another. Carry her in the sea and she carried me. Tried to drown her but I drowned myself instead ;p
Carried her back on land. She was so heavy, I thought my bones would crack.


3rd day was ExploreRace. This is where we were actually being observed by cameras while we play station games to win points. LOL.
Almost got caught for cheating. *AHEM!*
Luck was with us :)
Poor Joel, he got caught twice by the devils ;/

With Bear Bear & Jeffrey's leader ship skills, & everyone's cooperation...
Coconut Republic got 1st.
Shufflez 2nd.
and
Bravo 3rd.


So, the last night nearly everyone stay up late and party all night long bah.
I was equally tired and...erh...wanted to sleep.
But from all the commosion, it was impossible to sleep. So I walk around looking at people playing. Our gals dorm went totally crazy. I sat on my bed, eating junk food, trying to keep myself awake.

Played arm wrestling with Elaine. She learns Karate. So we compete in a friendly match. Surely enough, she beat Shin Yee. Yesh!

But, unfortunetly I won. ;p both left and right. and I got a friction injury on my right elbow ;/

Then, they force me to pull my my sleeves and everyone goes...

WAHHHHHHH!!! So Muscular!!!

Su Wei, Sara, Trisha, Yoko and..who else I left out? Hmm... ;/

And those who cheered for us :D


Thanks Si Ting :3

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. It was finally here. The moment that I have been waiting for, for all these years. Practise after practise. Miles after miles. Panting and hustling.

The sound of the crowds cheering, shouting and screaming their lungs out to their teammates to give them their full support.

I took another deep breath again. But, there's still a sense of fear inside me. Nervous. Excited. Scared. Anxious. Hesitation.

Why am I hesitating? There's no turning back anymore. It's now or never. This is my last chance to prove myself that I am not afraid to achieve my goal, I told myself as I took another deep breath.

Breath after breath, I took to cool myself down. It seems to help every time.

Miraculously, I couldn't feel the injury on my left feet hurting. It was suppose to hurt like this morning as I suspected. But, I didn't care. I don't have time to think about those stuff.

A teacher gave the signal to the runners to come in. It was now our turn. The 400m race.

My heart was beating very quickly, my mind went totally blank. I forget everything else and put it behind me.

I took another last deep breath before entering my lane. I was the first lane.
As I walk anxiously towards my lane and took my position.

I put on my serious expression as I focus to my front and nowhere else. I felt my adrenaline rush.

"Okay, runners on your position," said the judge as he raised his gun in the air.

This is it. My last run.

"On your mark."

"Get set."

BANG!!!

Siew Lin rushed down the flight of stairs towards the basketball court. She stares in amazement, filled with awe, gazing out to the field. It was the biggest field she had ever seen in her life!

"Excuse me," a student shouted behind her, who was blocking the way.

"Oh, sorry sorry," Siew Lin apologised and quickly make her way down the stairs and gather together with the rest her green teammates.

It was her first year in her new secondary school, trying to get used to the new environment and the people in school.

She saw some of her classmates already gathering there at the basketball court. It seems she's finding someone.

Yean Lynn walked around, quietly. Looking around. Confused and totally lost of what's happening.

Sara rushed down on the flight of stairs and Siew Lin walk towards her, waiting for her below.

While waiting for the teacher instructions, Sara strike up the conversation with Yean Lynn. Siew Lin stood quietly by the side, looking around.

The green house newbies were handing up their CCA books to the teachers. An order was given out to the secondary 2 seniors.

The secondary 2 students lead the newbies to the 100m running track. Siew Lin, Sara and Yean Lynn follow slowly behind them.
The field was wet and muddy from last nights raining and it looks quite slippery.

But, still, everyone is force to run. The girls went first. The seniors went first then after that was the newbies turn.
There weren't any many seniors, so by the time they knew it, it was the newbies turn.
Everyone back away from the track, refusing to step up first.

Mr. Nan, our green house teacher pestered us to run. Like it or not. We still have to run.
The girls slowly lined up on the track.

"On your mark."

"Get set"

Beeeep!!!!

There goes the first whistle. The girls ran as fast as they could. But, Siew Lin wasn't paying much attention to it because she was the next team to run. Mr.Nan rush the girls to hurry up and get in place.

There were butterflies in her stomach. Scared. Nervous. Anxious.

Siew Lin took her position.

She looks at the boys, 2 of her classmate boys were laughing and pointing at her.

"Ahaha!! See Siew Lin running," goes 1 boy.

"Oh my gawd, Siew Lin is running wor," laugh Nicholas.

Siew Lin ignored them and focus straight ahead.

"On your mark," the teacher said.

"Get set."

Beeeep!!!

Siew Lin's right leg slipped and was fling to a 45 degree angle to the back. She almost felled over but she kept running forward and manage to balance herself back and still running. She was now ahead of the others. She ran, ran and ran till she reached towards to the end of the track.

Unbelievable, she thought to herself, panting. Out of breath.

She stood by the side as the other girls too finishes up the run.

And now, it was the boys turn. She smiled slyly to herself as she watched her 2 classmates struggle. Oh, how evil she was.

There were panting and gasping for breath. Siew Lin stares at the 2 boys, but they avoided her stare.

"Okay, next is 200m run,"shouted the teacher as everyone move to another track.

Siew Lin walk towards the side of the track. And again, the girls ran first. She was in the 2nd team again.

After the 1st team had finish running. It was the 2nd team turn to run.

Siew Lin takes her position again. This time, more relaxed then before.

"On your marks."

"Get set."

Beeeep!!!

She ran and ran. She was ahead of the others. She didn't dare to look back. It was tiring. More tiring then the 100m run. She didn't dare to stop running till she reached at the end of the track.

She was panting very hard. Her face was flushes.

"Okay, those who had finished running can go home,"one of the teacher say.

She walk tiredly towards the flight of stairs and slowly climbed.
Yean Lynn and Sara was walking behind her, panting as well.

Yean Lynn points at Siew Lin, trying to catch her breath.
"Wah, she run so fast."

"Ya larh," says Sara, catching her breath as well.

Siew Lin continues to climbed up the stairs. 2 steps at the time and she knew, what was set in her mind from that day onwards.

~~~~~~~~

BANG!!!

The sound of the gun echoes.

I ran. Ran. Mustering every single of my strength. I didn't dare to look back.
I was now ahead. I ran and ran.

Suddenly, there were flashbacks.
Flashbacks on what I have achieve.
Flashbacks on what I have failed to achieve.

Failure. The sound echoed in my head.
"I am not afraid to get what I want. Do it and get it."
I scolded myself.

I came in first for the 1st round. One more round and it's over.

I could hear Yean Lynn screaming her lungs out, cheering for me. Even in a further distance.
My St.John team all cheering and shouting at their duty stations.
I hear voices in my head.

I ran.
My green house mate overtook me.
I slowly come into a moderate speed. But I still ran.
My thighs were aching from the marching practise.
My legs were tired.
But I counldn't give up.

I was almost there.
Almost.
Another runner overtook me.
But, I finally ended up in 3rd place.

3rd place wasn't that bad. I dropped to the muddy ground, exhausted. Legs aching.
For the first time, I felt proud of myself, for the first time I have achieve something which I hadn't thought I would achieve.
Something that will be forever in my memory.

Authors Note :
~~~~~~~~

400m wasn't the one which I wanted to join in the first place.
I was interested in 100m, 200m and 4x100m.
I wanted to sprint.
I knew I wasn't good in long distance running because I knew I could get tired easily.

I counted my whole life and soul to my team leader to let me join those races. But in the end, the drastic news hits me like a knife stabbing my in the heart when my house leader didn't put my name in those races.
I felt like breaking down.
I felt like giving up.
I felt like crying.
I was hopeless.

I remember 2 years back how I did really badly in 4x400m. What if I lose again?

But, in the end. I built back up my self-esteem and went out and fight.
Lose or win. Whatever the results may be, I will still be proud of myself.

In the end, I succeeded in getting a medal. Although it's 3rd place, but I'm still proud of myself for doing the things which I thought I couldn't do.

~~~~~~~~

It was the saddest, most painful but yet the proudest day I ever had for my Sports Day.

Words of encouragement.

Everyone knows that you can run. Trisha.
A good runner doesn't mean that you have to take part in all school races. Edward.
Sometimes things can't go the way you want them to. lynnliu.


I am not a professional sprinter, I am just an original student who is keen in running.

I am not an athletic, I am just a student who strives to keep fit.

Who am I?

I am Chuah Siew Lin.

and everyone still believes that...
I will still run again one day...

and that one day shall come.

Then the parade started.

And we marched to the wet, dirty and muddy field.

Our pants and shoes were all dirty and yucky and *vomits*...

I really pity Nina (dunno how spell her name, Ashton's sister), she was stepping on the puddle and the water was like....

SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!

I tried not to laugh. I had no idea why I'm laughing also. =="
The BB Boys played a different tuning, so we couldn't follow, so the marching was all messed up.

I was cursing for all the slowpokes to hurry up and get into the field barisan already coz I can't stand hendak kaki-ing for who-knows-how-long. ZzZ.

Then we had speeches. As usual, everyone was "glaring" at Mr.Gan to finish his lame speeches and get on with the ceremony thingy.

Finally it was over, the competition was starting soon. I ran up, feeling very excited and nervous. After that, I ran to find my house teacher bare feet and got my number.
Si Ting & Sara help pin it up for me on my clothes and wished me all the best.


But, sooner as I know. I didn't got what I wanted as before.
Not 100m run.
Not 200m run.
Not 4x100m run.

The only race I was involve in was 400m.
Yeah, and it was only 1!


I was dam depressed. I don't know what I was talking about.
I felt like crying but I tried not too. But the tears welled up in my eyes.
I completely didn't felt like talking to anyone coz I was acting quite strangely, I don't even know what I'm talking about. I just can't think straight.
I felt like breaking down and cry in front of Yean Lynn and Trisha when they try to comfort me/encourage me.


But, I have to face the fact. The only thing left for me to do was do my best in 400m. 2 years ago, I did very bad in 4x400m ;/ I was too tired at that time.

I fear that I will repeat the same mistake again.

Yoko was running 400m too. So I didn't fear of losing to other team houses coz I knew that she can do it better then me (:

I tried to calm myself down before the race starts. Took many deep breaths.

And so it begins....

On my mark...concentrating & focusing.

1st Round came in 1st...


At The Finishing line, came in 3rd...


Go Hui Mun!!!

I felt so relieve till I fell onto the wet muddy ground, exchausted.
3rd place still do my good.

My thigh muscles started aching at the 2nd round. So, I almost gave up. But, I didn't and just kept running because everyone was counting on me.

I stood up and tried to walk. But my legs couldn't support me anymore as I make my way across to the First Aiders. I dyingly called Wee Ching to help me. Cheat Sun applied CounterPain onto both of my thighs.
Thanks you guyz. Heartz you all <333

One thing about the first aiders(some first aiders), there were all standing there like...*AHEM*
