Want

One week passed since I've last wasted quite some time on this blog. A quick glance on what had happened this week - Training for interview for MOE Scholarship, Fiona's birthday, National Cross Country. Without further rubbish, let's get down to real monkey business!

Well the interview training really made me look like a big fool. I couldn't even answer simple questions the "correct" way. Seems like I better have more practise and so on. Anyway, really just hope to get this scholarship.

Then comes Fiona's birthday. Despite of the very rush schedule, I still managed to squeeze out some time to meet her at the Esplanade. Everything went according to plan, or rather not really. The present was prepared actually quite some time ago and I had to be extra thrifty these few weeks. Maybe.. I could have put on the necklace for her? Erm.. On second thoughts, better not coz I had to respect her oso. Two students in school uniform sitting by the bay.. :)

National X Ctry. Didn't make it into the team. I was only involved with taking down the results. It really moved me a lot to see so many people put in so much effort just to run that race. People collapsing, crying, limping.. But when my Bro crossed the line, feelings took a sharp turn for disappointment sets into me. He chose his path, went through so much, but yet had such conclusion. I saw him cry, and tears began to form in my eyes. There seems to be something telling me that perhaps this the way it has to be, the decline of fitness. However, the emotional moment of the day came when the 'A' Boys won Team First. After so much conflict, effort and everything, what my Bro called it as Blood and Tears, the team emerged as champions. The school supporters gathered to sing the school anthem. Even some of the uncles who were perhaps old ACS boys sang. My bro cried again as he lifted up the championship shield. Truly worth admiration, truly worth the applaud of many. Truly, this was the day many people was waiting for. A bit exaggerated I supposed coz when RJ won, they didn't really enter such drama. Erm.. Perhaps tiz the ACS tradition - crying for everything. -.-" The post-race celebration went on quite until very late. Feeling worn out, people dragged their feet home and ended the odyssey of the team. Is it my turn next year? I'm not sure as I have other plans in mind..
