This is Yio Chu Kang stadium. Went there on 2 seperate occasions. On the 7th and 14th March. Participated in the field events. Could not do any worse. 7+ m for my shot putt and 15+ m for my discus. Such a lousy performance. Well, it was for the fun of it. People trained for it, but not me, i guessed i just went there to make this part of my NS life a tini weenie bit more exciting. The champ for the 2 event (actually the same person) is actually a National thrower. Throwing 13+ m for shot and 30+ m for discus that day. Hmm.. Even the Ghurkas could not beat him at this. But generally the Ghurkas did excellent for the track events and also performed in the field events. They dominated the track. The champions would be ahead of the 1st-runner up by at least 2-3 rounds for the long distance (10000m event), clocking a 5 second lead every single round (one round lead by 5, 2nd round lead by 10, 3rd round lead by 15 etc.)
IPPT for me. 15th March. I just managed to scrape through it. Having done the static stations at HQ, then the 2.4km run at east coast. Timing of 11:16. it is down performance compared to my previous timing of 10:50. Well, i passed. Then my Teammates were having their own IPPT training followed by a game of soccer at East Coast, but i could not seem to locate them, then i went back to have my rest.
Same day. Afternoon came. I was very reluctant (very tired ah!!) , but still went for the SF activity. Look at my transformation, the metamorphosis!
From this:
to this:
Well. It was like this. it was about 1800hrs. I was still in the rink trying to adjust my footing, just then, my right foot's front brake (the teethy thing at the front of the blade) scraped on to the ice, causing me to lean forward. The left foot front brake the was stuck in the ice, acting as a pivot; i then fell forward, my feet twisting outwards. To further elaborate, my left heel is now pointing towards the sky and soon to point forward, and my left knee is also pulled along. My full body weight was rested on the unbalanced ankle. The whole procedure happened very slowly because the skate has very high and stable collar; it slows down my fall and also reduces the damages. If not the thing will just go 'snap'...
The next day i woke up as usual, wanting to prepare myself for duty, but the ankle stopped my from doing so. I then called my supervisor who then made an arrangement to call back one of my colleague (who supposedly is on leave). I felf bad for this, but the decision is not up to me. I felt good bacause i can rest myself and my feet. Later in the morning, i went to Hougang Polyclinic. My father fetched me there. It was a gruelling wait. The doctor told me that is was an injury to the tendon and muscle, and the nurse gave me the bandage to aid in the additional support that my ankle probable need. Well then i rested at home for the whole day.
Although i am able to rest physically. My brain kept on working. My sister and cousin bombarded me with Mathematics questions.

I still want people to see my beautiful feet! Even in bandages! Isaiah 52:7
