tribute to year 6

2007-08-12T07:15:00.000-07:00

and i thank you for all the times we had together
be it happy or sad
and we shall keep them dear to our hearts
as we run together

be it now or the future,
past or present life,
i would really hope that we have more opportunities to run together.
no matter how far we are from each other,
i hope we will meet someday again
and run together every week if its possible.

nevertheless,you guys are always welcome back.
and i thank you for everything you guys have done.

so another season comes to an end,
probably the last season we have each other.
it was disappointing
it was sad,
but we sure gave the other schools a run for their hardwork.

some said we were close
others thought otherwise
i personally feel that it is anyone championship for the taking.
win or lose, now it doesn matter anymore

i just want to say, thank you for all your hardwork. being champions, yes it means alot, but i know that running with this team is much much more worth it then winning the championship.
i really cannot emphasize how important this team means so much to me, to us. i am sure you all would agree with me. sure we didn shed tears at turf, but i know deep in our hearts we regretted somehow. but i want to say that that this year was a tough year. anyone could have won it.

the dota session we have, the hard training effort we put in,
the tough soccer times you guys tried to tackle me,
the difficult time kevin tries to solve his maths
the uneasy times xide tried hard to fish
the stupid times with seet(shutdown)
the bitch times with sebastian
the audd times with changming
and the gay times with kenneth khing

yes this are the times. or should i say those are the times. memories may be gone, but new one can be forged. perhaps we dont have much time with each other, but i hope that we are able to keep in contact with one another. this has practically been another family for me. one strong family. a united family. i dont want to give all this up, even when we are attached or married. i know some of you may be still wondering if you are doing track. whatever decision i respect that, but i hope that we are able to meet up frequently to catch up. not just for now, but in the future as well. maybe everysunday we can meet up at my place(right xide?) hhahaha.

so i shall end off with wat seb said a few years ago.

it is long, it is toughthe climb was long and steep
the ground was rough.rocks and stone strewn along the way
the weather beaten path was the road less travelled
the one that many feared to take
the one that others could only dream in their dreams
the one that belonged to none other than champions.
the road that made the champion was long and endearing
the trials and tribulations out number those of the journey to the westthe rolling hills of macritchie,
the lush green flood plains of turf city
the rising mountains like the steep steeples of wesley methodist church
the winding path that seemed endlessly longa lone figure admist the thick fog
a bright shining star, dimishing in the dark filthy black sky
though the creatures of the dark poked and taunted him
but he kept on going.
often the pebbles and the rubble stumbled himbut he picked himself up and kept on going
the bruises and fatigue spiked himbut he brushed them away and kept on going
thinning, growing fainter and fainter
everything began to fall on him
but he kept on going.

one fine champion. one fine team
a strong bond. one single dream
one long season. one last race
they keep running. running in haste
long are the days. short are the comings
happy are the times. sad are the timings
but the fallen wont always be the felled
the strong wont always win
it is time for us to take back what we lost
to get back what has been loaned
with a vengeance

let me relish the fond memories of the season that has passed
like the four season of the year... it shall pass
time will come when the sweltering summer sun will burn those on the ground. the autumn winds will shake the brown auburn trees. the winter chill will leave everything bare and shuddering in cold... then the cycle comes a full round and spring will see new budding shoots emerging... full of life and bursting with vigour

no matter what, we have accomplish what we have started, to become not only a great runner, but probably greatest teammates to one another. so in this aspect we are already champions.
so one more time i say, AC AC all the way!! THANK YOU

2007-04-15T06:38:00.000-07:00

well i know i ain't a true "crosser" but hell...go for it guys bring back the gold this year!just wanna say although i ain't there for like more than 70% of the training, i think that this ain't a team at all!this is a family!acsi cross country will not be known because of jonathan lim or kevin or elliot,we will be remebered and known because we are acsi cross country!so just wanna wish the runners this wednesday all the best!

one more time

2007-04-15T05:09:00.000-07:00

It's the race we've been killing ourselves for. All those tedious hills, all those slaughtering 3.18s and all those gruelling time trials. Just for today. Paid off. I dun really know wad to say. But i've never felt so emotional for a long, long time. I dunno how much the cross title meant to the other schools. But i know that we wanted it. Badly. Very badly. All the sacrifices we made, all that we've done. I can't say that the rest didnt want it as much as i did. Every training the desire i see in everyone's concealing eyes. Every training someone will mention about winning. Every training someone lets his desire take over and burn himself. Just to make history. Just to get acsi into cross country's hall of fame for once. Just to show that deep desire. Even now someone must be crying elatedly. I'm certainly crying. I've never cried happily for so long. Never so many tears. Never so uncontrollable. Never so strongly. No, not even track. Cross is what i really wanted. To get that legacy started. To get the ball rolling. We wait no more. The legacy starts. And it will drag.
Right now i just wanna let everyone know the team that made it possible. The team that will be hailed legendary.
elliot eu. our national champion. who would've thought this chao ang moh 19th 2 years ago to beat the unbeatable jeffrey? i certainly didnt. even after what i saw in him. even after the comeback he made. even after he pulled himself into another level from the rest of us. But elliot delievered. strongly, gracefully to the finish. contrast to that of the ex champion. passion, desire, delievery was elliot.
leon wai. There couldnt be and will never be a better captain than this bugger. The one person who will be remembered by acs as the spearhead that led the legacy. The one person remembered by this team as the best leader in the world. The leader everyone loves. The leader that instilled the desire and passion in us. The leader that inspired, encouraged, uplifted and certainly responsible for the victory. I'll never forget this captain. acX team captain 2004, Leon Wai.
peter chan. I never used to like him. But now i cannot like him enough. I think peter certainly wanted it the most amongst us. I think its hard to see the real side of peter. the ever wilful, stubborn, playful bastard was definitely a mask. the passionate, caring side of him is his underneath. i dunno abt the rest, but i've seen it 3 times. during the race, peter certainly pumped strength into kev and it was he who architectured the ac quadragon that dominated the gravel. Peter certainly showed what desire was all about when he burned the last stretch shake-head-and-scratch style. My mysterious senior, peter chan.
kevin ng. Our blur chiongster who really helped especially me alot. Many thought kevin didnt have the passion. but i think not. he just doesnt show it like us hypocrites. kevin is pure, but one contrast spot lies in his thoughtless mind. desire to win running. My best partner to run with when i didnt have passion, and also the best to share my desire with. kevin contributed loads and loads to the bond we all share. my dear brethen, kevin ng.
low xide. last but surely not the least, mr low. those gep brains were never made this strong. i've seen how he trains, especially 2 weeks before the big one. those 400s were carved from sheer will. his hills were fantastically pushed. and the team's testis brought plenty of laughter, peace and joy to the team. his 23rd actually suprised me. i expected him to be far behind avery. but xide proved me wrong and as he always does, busted my ego. my comrade in hand, low xide.
Of course, there were the others who made it possible as well. These are not in order of importance, because they've all been equally important in the team's growing. they've all a hand in this kick-ass event.
Simon Bongard,The one person the team cant stop making fun of. The one person the team cannot stop respecting. And the one person who acted like the team's superglue. Without bongard, i wouldnt have found my love for running. i was forced to run and run and run until i started to love running. Without bongard, there would be around 2 ppl coming down for trng. He was always there for the team. Always trying his best to contribute, giving his all. He allowed us to concentrate on getting the job done, taking care of everything else for us. We love our teacher in charge, and so does he. When the big man cried after we won, he showed what teachers in charge should be like. He showed to us that he is the best you can find, and that he is one factor we can actually thank the senior admin for.
senior admin. Really want to thank drong and friends for giving us bongard and actually having a cross country cca within the school. And also their undying disbelief in us that kicked our arses so hard.
steven quek. our 2 day coach that coaches the commonwealth cross team. thanks for calling us the home econs team that would get commonwealth boot prints on our butts. That one boot print of his was unparalleled to the many prints the senior admin bestowed upon us. That was the gear we couldnt find.paul tan. Our big, friendly giant assistant coach. encouraging, motivating, and really tried his best to squeeze whatever he could from us. Wishing him all the best in his many many years to come.
lawrence ang. The coach with the shades. He inspired, strengthened, rapported. The 3.18s that's behind every ac champion is his signature rock that sharpens us runners. He forced my tears out of me with his inspiring words many times. His training methods are the best i've run across. he rapports like there's no such thing as generation gaps. good coach.
c div. They all played a well done role of the new blood. especially our block head captain sebastian. i wanna see this team carry on the legacy. bring the stuff.
lucas ting. acX's biggest fan. our dear beloved senior that runs to live. our senior that everyone grew to love and respect. that guai lan face and unsurpassed humour that never failed to make us laugh our heads off and roll all over. the senior that supported us all the way, helped us in everyway. Thank you so very much.
God. Last but not least, and in fact the most, the lord our God. He answered my seven prayers, sent the drizzle i always asked for, granted my pacing, and let us show that his faithful children always do better.
But when i think of how this team will be split up because of o levels that will send everyone everywhere, the ib that will imprison our comrades, i cry. I love the team deeply. I trust the rest do as well. Nothing comes close in terms of unity. The times when we played lan after trng, when we eat lunch and call each other gays, when everyone starts squirting water all over each other, when we raced together and ecstasize together, when we shared all the deep moments of sadness, when we made kevin surrender macdonalds meals in exchange for his underwear's modesty, when we laughed at kevin's hair, xide's head, leon's uncanny resemblance to see teck hock and his thank-you-allahs, and that we've never quarelled at all despite the closeness will be remembered in my heart forever. I hold all this dear to my heart. I hold this home to my heart. team acX. rock on.

You might think this post is familiar and why i post it again. well i just all of us to remember how tough it was to get there. but we did. 3 out of 6 of the teammates are still here. i dont see why we cannot do this again. remember the joy, suffering we had all these years. come down in just one last race. how much do you all want it? its just 3 more days. come on.
champions. just one more time.
%: acX all the hardwork. one more time

5 days

2007-04-13T06:07:00.000-07:00

The countdown has long since started
and april 18 will soon dawn on us
after tomorrow, it'll be 3 days of nothing
and then one more run. just one last run.

there'll be no more workouts to be done
no more slogging in the comfort of your team mates
only pushing against them and they

how much you've trained or havent
is all over now
the physical portion is finished
but the preparation is not complete

in these remaining days
recover from all that training
refresh yourselves
and want to run again

more importantly
begin to want it even more
fire up the desire
because it is time
come finals, unleash that fury
let those physically superior to you
feel the force of your will
because i always believe
that the strongest mind
will always trump the toughest body

if all fails
remember your team
whatever you've shared
be it laughs or sweat
it will all count when you take each step

while good luck brings good runners
it is the team
that brings them together
and even normal runners can become great
because of the team
especially in this team
hold that tightly

fishing

2007-04-04T07:12:00.000-07:00

oh so fiery
the fight inside
oh so glorious
the ending ride

rocky path
foe easy road
not be taken
his strength unfold

the pain
so fearful so fateful so sweet
the final beat
of victory

odds against
opponents a four
your passion
the bell tolls

if there were but one will
let it be his
loud action
muted words

hey guys even though im sure some damn stupid people wont understand this
i still love you all. see you soon.

april's fool

2007-04-01T07:51:00.000-07:00

its finally april guys
and we've come a long way
too long to blow it

for very long now we've talked about miracles
how if we try for it
we can suddenly be immortalized
how if we just believe
we will unleash a fury that is way beyond us

but what, exactly, is beyond us?
yes miracles are welcome
but what if they do not come?
i'm sure this has crossed some of your minds
but are we not good enough?
i say proudly, that we are good

we are always there, somehow
acsi has never taken a conscious effort
to blood the best runners in the country
we've always started from scratch
but year after year
we are there
we stand regularly in the upper echelons of cross-country

today i urge each of you
not to just believe in miracles
but also to believe in yourselves
the greatest battle is in you
not out there with them

they are not the only ones in this country who are good
they fear us as much as we fear them
it will never be a walkover
and we will always be there to make sure it doesnt happen
we will take it to them
as they will take it to us
and may he who believes more, win.
how much are you willing to believe?

come april 18
when little separates them and us
us and them all
believe that we are stronger
and that will make all the difference
we will not be april's fool

they said

2007-03-22T06:19:00.000-07:00

today as i was talking to reuben ong
he told me that jordan told him
that he felt us crossers
are the closest knit bunch around
closer than any of the rest
closer than all those regular gold teams

as i heard him say those things
it struck something inside of me
it meant so much to me

for the longest while i've known deep down
that we are a special bunch
that we are beyond just a cca
and that we embody what a team is really about

to say the least we were not accomplished runners
nor were we all dsa-ed
to forcefully piece top runners together
to so called artificially win the title

we're the pure acx breeds
taken from a bunch of unlikely runners -
overweight, weak lungs, anemic.
forged together by the adhesive called team spirit
and from there we never looked back

i want to have something to show for it
something to place there so when i look at it
i can remember it all
we must win this year

1 month

2007-03-18T07:25:00.000-07:00

ang said he is known to deliver miracles
and i believe that
we must believe that

but he is no deity
and must have a limit to whatever wonders he has

i feel it is the final month
where miracles can happen
but he is no deity
therefore we must, hand-in-hand
make it happen

too long have we waited
this year we shall wait no more

perhaps too long you have waited to train hard
let this waiting end tomorrow

1 month

2007-03-17T07:37:00.000-07:00

HELLO EVERYONE.
as of tomr it will be one month til our big day.
woohoo. im just reminding everyone
one more month.
theres time but not too much so lets give it our all
for those who are my runners, we will be strong
we will endure and we will make it through together k
hmmm.
think about it, give what u have this one last month
you have nothing to lose but all to gain.
im pretty sure you dont want on 18th april and forever into the future,
you dont want to regret not having given everything when you had the opportunity
i dont know la. its quite scary, regretting the rest of your life when you have the opportunity in your own hands now.
so dont waste this chance, god given chance.
immortality. take it. its yours...

beat yourself up

2007-02-27T18:58:00.000-08:00

i'm sure we've seen this in movies:
hero pwns everyone
evil villain comes along
clones hero
hero meets strongest nemesis yet

often we hear:
"you are your greatest enemy"
this is so because
we know ourselves too well
how we react, how we act
and more importantly,
how we fight are all within our own graps
it is difficult to out smart
out maneuver ourselves

we know far too well in ourselves
how much our bodies can take
how much farther we can run
and how long more before we break down
it is not often that we can lie to ourselves
when was the last time you said
"i am the fastest thing alive"
and still get beaten by
~~victor tan~~low xide the next day?
as runners we all must admit
that we have given up more than not

but as we push for this coveted title
how can we go on without overcoming this?

i feel:
if you cannot beat you
and i cannot beat i
then i will beat you
and you will beat i -
it is the holding of the team in your hearts
it is the remembering of the times
and it is the testing of that bond

it goes further than i want to win
more than i want less pain;
that is perhaps ineffective

but it is saying i will win
because they need me to

acXtraordinary

The Great Competitor- Grantland Rice

2007-02-21T05:30:00.000-08:00

Beyond the winning and the goal

beyond the glory and the fame

He feels the flame within his soul

born of the spirit of the game.

And where the barriers may wait,

built up by the opposing Gods

He finds a thrill in bucking fate

and riding down the endless odds

Where others wither in the fire

or fall below some raw mishap

Where others lag behind

or break beneath the handicap

He finds a new and deeper thrill

to take him on the uphill spin

Because the test is greater still

and something he can revel in.

miracles

2007-02-11T06:08:00.000-08:00

only over 2 months more to go
miracles do happen
but don count on them
even constants have let us down before

which now is more important?
getting faster or feeling less pain?
its a simple question we face when we train
but difficult to genuinely give the correct answer

perhaps that is not the issue
but i'd hate to have a repeat of the recent years
i believe in training hard to race harder
and so i believe in winning easy
but that means training hellishly
which now is more important?

i wish

2007-02-09T06:15:00.000-08:00

i wish i had more faith
i wish i had more determination
don't we all wish we had more of these?
i wish i knew when was enough
i wish i knew how much it takes
but will we ever know?

we can only believe in things
and i believe we know how to win
it's in the why my friend
why we want to win

it's because it is your life
it is not a race nor a sport

it is for the ones who train with you
the ones with whom you share the sweat
it's in this family we realise
that striving to win is our way of life
and that is how we will win this thing
but not purely for the sake of winning
it is for this bond we share
to show our bond is best
to show that we are the greatest team
and that what we share is greatest

our team is strong not for the abundance of great runners
but great are the runners because the team is strong

how much do you want it?
show me will you

.

2007-02-07T05:34:00.000-08:00

i wish i had more faith
i wish i had more determination
i wish i had more to give
i wish i was there today

i wish i knew how to win
i wish i knew why i wanted to
and i wish i knew why u all want to

i think i forgot

remind me will you

helloooo

2007-01-13T04:32:00.000-08:00

hiiiii.
i think acX needs a bit of motivation.
i think acX needs a bit of hweeling.
i think acX needs a bit of spirit
i think acX needs to feel again.
acXperience. <3

the hunt begins

2006-12-16T09:58:00.000-08:00

so quickly
hols are drawing to an end yet again
and so goes pre-season for us

how have you fared so far?
because it is not far before it all matters

know cross will come in the blink of a dagger
and before we know it
monster killing 3:18s will commence

at this time,
how well prepared are you?

be it the c, b or a div
we all face uphill tasks

the c div with your lack in depth and uncertainty
the b div with the absence of depth
and the a div against the victorian all stars

is it time?
it is time.

when you're chasing
be it in a race
or even as we're training
every little bit counts

how you rest
what you eat
every extra stride you endure
will all matter in the end

its not long before its the end

2006-12-12T06:20:00.000-08:00

hey guys. this might probably be my last post since posting results is on this coming thursday. and sorrie to spoil khings 'not-so-appealing' picture. haha but recently i listen to a very old song that was quite meaning. its keeping the dream alive by freiheit.

Tonight the rain is falling
Full of memories of people and places
And while the past is calling
In my fantasy I remember their faces

The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we had to try
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
I hear myself recalling
Things you said to me
The night it all started
And still the rain is falling
Makes me feel the way
I felt when we parted
The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we have to try
No need to hide no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
I need you
I love you
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we had to try
No need to hide no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we had to try
No need to hide no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive
The game will never be over

SONG ENDS
well this songs just tell us that although our hopes are high, way out of reach but we had to try.
but the game will nvr be over. because we are keeping the dream alive.

HEY PEOPLE!!!

Time to inject some life into this blog again. what happened man?!?!
The blog suddenly died?!! I think it should be updated much more often.
Haha people like kevin and xide dun even post a shit and they have the most responsibility!!!!
hahah kevin stop being so obsessed with your girl and khing and xide stop being obsessed with your girl (or man).

Ok the next race is the stand chart marathon. yeah more 6 mins and stuff like that.
more lanning, more soccer, more bullshit, more screwing around.
Yeah so train hard and use this as base training for next year. We're gonna make it ours.

Oh and the party!!! We've een discussing it for some shit ass time now and nothing has been done. Kevin! Xide! Plan!
Tmd knn ccb nb cb gnp gdp acs nnp rjc vjc hci
Hurry up and plan! I vote Xide house.. hahahahaaa

ok babes. lets go. train hard. Heres a nice video, if u havent seen it yet i posted it on my blog sometime ago.
This is what brothers do.

2006-08-28T01:06:00.000-07:00

Gd day mates. This is just another update. Nothing to do with school, of course many things happen everyday, but this time it's about running. I know few people will be reading this. VERY few, I know, coz the blog is practically half-dead.

Yeah how do you guys think I'm doin' in running?? Very well?? Owning opposition?? Qualifiable for state team?? Well, yes. I qualified for state team.....that's when I'm fast and good. Now, I'm kinda useless. I'm so slow already, kinda pathetic. I screwed up my inter-state nationals. And that was the 8th race I screwed in a row. All the timings, well....for 4k.....14:33, 15:12, 16:34, 14:23, 14:49, 15:01.....I'm not as useful as I normally was. With my timing during the Singapore Inter-school, the one we came in a close 2nd, I could have gotten a top 20, out of 85 runners. Now I'm so pathetic, I'm about like last 5 people. I'm not much use anymore. Well....talent has a lifespan, mine is kinda over. Maybe it's time for me to start retiring. It's kind of a bloody waste....nothing else I'm good at. Just that I don't know what else to do. Maybe I have proven myself unworthy of the talent. Or maybe I just gotten useless. Or maybe it's just one of the down periods. Don't know.

Maybe I'll just quit. You guys keep goin' on. Your talents are still on. Use it well. I've done everything I could for ACX. I'll still be active on the net, no I mean blogs. Thanks for the unforgettable experience in ACX...and da wallet, which I'm still using. What should I do now??

acsi cross-country

2006-08-06T06:51:00.000-07:00

On the 4th of August 2006, Friday, at approximately 3.45pm, the race for the Open category of the Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) International Baccalaurette World School Annual Cross-Country Championships commenced.

With a rapid change of pace and switching of fleet feet, Kenneth Khing exploded off the starting line and raced to a great start. Realising that a sustained effort of equal velocity would imbalance and upset the competition, he slowed down to a walk. After many a while, Kevin Ng, huffing and puffing at the sheer pace of Khing, gradually caught up and tried to pull away. At this, Khing cantered into a jog, to keep up with the sprinting Ng.

One kilometer into the race, Khing noticed that his hair was out of place. He jogged over to the pond to have a look at his reflection and unhurriedly sculpted his mane, making sure that every strand of hair was in place. He then proceeded on with the race and caught Ng a good 646.8m within 4 minutes. Bored, Khing proceeded to run circles around the tiring and panting Ng.

"Thud, thud, thud". The sound of shoes pounding upon Mother Earth filled the forest, killing the silence. Then Khing heard another sound. He spun around and began to run backwards. Empty. Ng was the only person in sight, struggling to keep the blistering pace. The sound came again. It sounded like the crunching of bones. From the corner of his eye, Khing spotted the felling of a few thin willow trees. Through the debris, he picked out a monster measuring 7 inches by 6 feet by 6 feet, with 7 inches being the height. It was rummaging through the sparse vegetation, wielding a gleaming parang and hacking away at the greenery for it to pass. It was Victor Tan. On a motorcycle, no less, to match the unequalled speed of Khing. Then Khing was hit by a stark realisation. Ng had bribed Tan to weed out the competition.

Caught by surprise, Tan managed to plant the parang deep into Khing's heavily muscled thighs, but the great centrifugal force conjured up by Khing's fast rotating legs caused the parang to wriggle free and it spun out of control and whistled through the air, towards Tan. It caught Tan between the legs and he began to scream like a girl. Green lipids flowed out from between Tan's legs as he laid on the path, unconsious.

The damage, however, had been done. Khing could not continue the race on his feet. Thus he fell to the ground, and started to roll. But it was not to be. Khing was not accustomed to maneuvering his entire self along the ground. Although he still kept stride with Ng, he eventually fatigued and had to stop. Several long, long moments later, Low Xide and Kenneth Seet caught up. With sheer determination and grit, Khing started to crawl. Shaking off the pain that haunted his legs, he pulled himself forward with his arms, all the while taking up the entire running path with his bulging biceps. Eventually, he ousted Low and Seet to the finish, but it was not enough for gold. Sneakiness had won the day.

one fine champion.one fine team
a strong bond. one single dream
one long season. one last race
they keep running. running in haste
long are the days. short are the comings
happy are the times. sad are the timings
but the fallen wont always be felled
the strong wont always win
it is time for us to take back what we lost
to get back what has been loaned.
with a vengeance.
acXc.is.reAL

well, i am quite certain that you guys would not forgotten this right. i hope not. anyway i post it for a reason. i was blog hopping when i came back to my own blog. and happen to pay close attention to this. i realised for me that 3 years in acsi have gone by me like wind.. its too fast.
from the first training i did 5x1km around the school. to everyone daoing me at the start of sec2
then becoming so lovable from then onwards..
haha yes lovable. anyway the main reason i post this is because it has come to my attention that i have about 2/3 races to the end of my nationals, my season. and after this season, i could very vanish from the acxcountry team. like mark bala. haha
but i would just like to say this, before you forget me

thank you my brothers for traveling with me this far. even if one day u have forgotten me, i would nvr forget u guys. the memories the sufferings, the dotaing, the ownage in soccer, and in other things. i have always told u its ur pleasure and honour in running with me. but the truth is, i am really honoured that i have come to know this team. it change me totally. i know i am not as fast as some of you. not as slim as all of you. but at least i know i m more handsome.. haha but watever it is.. thank you so much for the wonderful journey. this could be the second last post i write, the last will be after nationals i guess. one by one down the list, i will thank you personally. i dont know if i will stay in the ac family, but wat i know is that, the ac family stays with me..
i am truly bless with each and every single one of you.. even with the occasional arguing(right seb) or the shuting kevin up. or pokemon with xide and changming, or challenging whose more handsome with yandao seet. and playing with the traffic light with khing(ok i didn touch the traffic light) haha.. and how could i forget mr charcharmaru. (if thats how you spell it)

well, i salute you all, for coming close for 3 years to touch the title. even including this year where we miss it by 1 point. but please dont be upset. cause what we share is far greater then that win or lost. we came together as one team, we fought together as one team, we cried together as one team but most important we are one team. one heart and there is only one ACX. as i m writing this, words keep flowing. my mind is spinning. i dont know what it would be like without a team like that. especially in jc. but the IB ppl. please treasure wat u have. cause its priceless. and u know it. training can be = to suffering but its how u look at it.
train hard guys. and study hard. and stop sping seet.

so i bid farewell now. and all the best for nationals.. keep running and writing. i will always be a fan of ACX..
oh ya! got party must invit me ah.. haha.. kk takecare.
ACX RARAMURI

Your Lordship's Blessing

2006-06-29T23:29:00.000-07:00

Greetings, my fellow servants.

It has been my agony to overwrite Khing's post. But it was necessary, owing to the fact I am of higher ranking, of course. Anyway, this post is not anything to do with update, everything is still the same in Aussie....just messing, slacking, kissing and whatever. Oh yeah July is coming, which means the nats are coming. For track. A whole three weeks towards blessed freedom. Your Lordship is sorry that he won't be there to fight for the sacred ACX. You people just go do your best, to win for only one thing. The Gold. As one of the colours of the ACS Flag, it is only fair if that comes into our hands. Do what I have failed to help you all to do. To win. And as you run remember that my spirit, my essence will always infest your bodies(:P).....especially to Seet, who shared a cup of coke with me. For that....go with my blessing, go and win. I won't accept any thing else.

Anoda'ro Felo're.

P.S Keep updating. Khing put back that cute immature Kev as he always is picture back. I luv it heaps. C-ya humans!!

gone

2006-06-26T08:19:00.000-07:00

the kevin picture has been removed prematurely
this is due to a ruptured disk which fragmented into the spinal collumn of kenneth khing due to a violent outrage by kevin ng. further death threats from the ever nice nice has forced the secretary to do the unimaginable - remove the photo. kevin ng has described the photo as an outrage of modesty which has impaired his ability to speak or even look or get looked at by people. it is a serious case of mental illness known as the oh-my-blue-son-thats-me-pia. victims of this deadly disease will cease to be fertile and will display uncharacteristic bursts of anger, yet looking calm at the same time. the effect of kevin ng's actions however has not come to being fully blown yet because he is lagging and has yet to react.
we regret any inconvenience caused to anyone other than kevin ng.

hello

BIG UPDATE

2006-06-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

Eh heh heh. Big time news, though not as big as khing's lijiang post.

Yeah this is juz one update, damn funny. During a maths class, just like any class, the class is hectic and noisy...no teacher u see. Guys screwing about, girls screaming and laughing away, everyone was noisy- save the nerds who still studying their heads off and quarrelling about which equation is better and faster. Okay, this guy named Billy, was suspecting one of the other guys was erecting. Told a few guys, not all. Said something about a suspicious bulge in this guy's pants. Sure enough, got one particular bulge there, but it was unclear if that IS an erection....it could be just the pants folding up by sitting (I'm sure many pants and jeans got that bad habit, you guys try it out). So...Billy had a way to find out. He yelled for everyone's attention, and everyone looked up. He asked who hates Mr Mickan( some nice guy teacher), and not a single hand went up. Expecting this, he yelled who wants to be cool,and 75% of the class put up their hands and cheered. Including the suspect. Already prepared for this, Billy had a comrade, holding a handphone with the camera set on, and a picture....VERY CLEAR....was taken with 100% proof. A great hard coil, Xide 's head clearly showing(>:P ). Long and horrendous.Protruding like a stick insect. This is clearly what he had suspected. Overwhelmed with joy, he saved it and told no one, until during recess.

He showed the phone to everyone, and a huge pandomoniem was created. People hooting away, some were so overwhelmed that they were on the floor. The girls were going googoogahgah over it. It was DAMN hilarious just lookin' at the photo.

Ok, here's da worse part. The guys took the photo and showed it to the culprit's girlfriend( !!!). She didn't believe at first, but some witnesses proved it to her. She believed in the end, what happened to their relationship I do not know.

Lesson learnt?? Behave yourself, coz no one escapes with a crime more than once- you will get caught one day.

P.S I know definitely many of you erect in class. Careful, huh. Someone is bound to notice.

The season changes.....

2006-05-31T23:30:00.000-07:00

The molecules slow their vibration.
Forcing the slow death of plant life.
Not in a bad way though...
The leaves turn from a beautiful shade of red, orange,yellow, red
Perservering their grip on the mother tree
Soon their determination ends
They only could tearfully bade their mother goodbye, take care
Many slowly fall to the ground,
Soon the ground is sprawled with thousands of leaves.

The brats start ravaging the graveyard
Screaming and laughing as if death's a joke.
They don't know the pain of the flora
Nobody...but God understands.

Some days are especially cold.
The aircon that used to cool the place
Now has to heat the place.
People drape on their jackets
The price of heaters soared
Temperature drops to 5-15 *C
The breaths of the living thigs condensing to mist

All that was autumn. Just autumn

Now....nature reaches its grand finale
Starting wednesday onwards
The temperature truly freezes.
The little animals start their hibernation
Water turns to ice.
The trees now completely bare
Completely dormant
Only a trace of life
Insect activity comes to a complete halt
In a way, good and bad.

Humans are affected too.
Everyone wants to stay home
Nobody wants to go to school
The MOE wickedly merciless
Forces their terrifying wrath on the students
All are still forced to go to school.
Girls huddle to the guys for warmth
Even the guys try to support one another.
Three jackets, two gloves, two hats, three socks as an oufit become very common.
Running becomes a difficulty.
Only the strong and tough continue.
Dating stops, shopping become rare, beach activities halt completely
Life becomes boring.
Only books to turn to.

This is Winter. A whole month of it. The whole June. School goes on. Messing and flirting still goes on. Life is still good. Just wait till spring. Everything will get to normal. We truly await the blessed July. Just one month.....

P.s sorry this is no poem. I can't write such things. Only Khing can. Anw...we'll just leave the future of poems to the nerds, won't we?? Khing if ya reading this.....:P

reflections

2006-05-21T00:43:00.000-07:00

Before reading this, take a look at jon's post below.
He's freakin having the time of his life there in aussie.
Damn funny also

Ok, i know this is very overdue but I had made it a point to write this but too much work
This post will solely be dedicated to acX and I think there isn't a better time to write this than now when you guys have just OWNED the big walk

It WAS my fault that we lost by that one point. But I think I have gotten much over it but although I will never ever forgive myself or forget that fateful day, I will always remember the acXperience that will forever be lodged in my heart.

Kaptain Kev
You are the one who pulled this team through this incredible journey, you are the rock that held this team together and was always the one who made sacrifices, all for the good of the team. You were always there for me when i was down. Seeing the way you pushed yourself although you were so very tired really heartens me. I know that you weren't doing it for yourself, but you were doing it for acX. There wouldn't have been any acX without you and in my heart, you will always be THE CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN. You captained one of the best years on acXcountry history, and it is because of that reason that we nearly dominated. I salute EU, not EU, but you.

seXIDE
You are some crazy nigger who also held this team together. You, the vice-captain helping Kevin do stuff and always make sure that everyone is sure about trainings etc. You were always there for us, making sure that evryone comes down for trainings. The times we had at your house were just da bomb. So much bonding and acXperience happened there and it was also because of that that made us the acX today. Thank you test. And help me thank YOUR MOTHER who opened up the house for us.

Khing
You are the most knowledgeable person in acX. Anything we dont know, we go look for you. Anything shoe wise, diet wise, competition wise, anything you would know it. You're like a walking running dictionary. The way you push yourself during trainings and then help with the LAN sessions after that and help kev and xide do the admin stuff really also contributes to why acX has the strength like it has today. On the final day you even ran although you were sick for the past 2 days, and u not only broke your SB, you SMASHED it, and I was really heartened to see what you did. Not everyone would be able to do that, only a real MAN with a real heart would be able to put aside everything else and just whack for the sake of acX. Thank you.

Seb
One of the most committed people i've ever seen, being the leader of the sec ones , managed them as best as you can, and even finding the strength and heart to run to school in the mornings and then do workouts in the afternoon. And if Im not wrong, you are the only person this season to even abstain from fried food, having a proper diet plan, all for the sake of acX. You were the HORSE this season, working and working non stop. And you did it not for yourself, but for acX, and for that reason, you really were one of the key factors for acX. I salute you.

Victor
You were one person who helped push us to our limits. To see you burning the track almost everyday would have spurred us on to greater heights. You are also like Seb the most hardworking individual in the team, and because of that you pushed us, and pushed us, and made us faster. And also thanks for all your corny and lame jokes that carried us through even the most down of times. You must be the SUNSHINE that brightens up the day for acX. Haha - sunshine.

Changming
From then to now, you have been some ownage shit. Looking like my man is really hitting puberty and really can fly now, 800m champ. As you can see, the training for cross actually paid off. It had made you the stronger person that you are today and will be able to own track and field. You've grown alot (although not as much as me), making you so much stronger than before. And the commitment you showed through that quiet face just made us feel happy.

Last but not least, JON
A biggest thank you for sacrificing so much just to come back all the way to Singapore just to run for acX. I know you had to put alot behind you just to come back to run. We definitely appreciated your return and nothing is more touching than to have you come back for acX. Even training there so that your fitness wouldnt deprove but actually, improve. When you first left for aussie, I really felt that there was something missing in the team. Maybe there was less irritation but I really felt lost. Then I realised how much impact you make on this team. You better keep running, and keep the acX name flying high in aussie. Please do not forget us and try to come back as often as possible, remeber the times we spent, happy or sad. You will always have a place in thie team, and in our hearts, although not physically but spiritually. You gave us greater hope when u could return and Im sorry we couldnt do it.

This team is my family.
The times we spent were really the best I've ever had.
I will never ever forget the acXperience.

I love you guys.

2006-05-19T20:14:00.000-07:00

Yo dudes!! This blog is sadly really dormant. Hopefully this update about aussie would liven it up.

Yeah I've been mixing with the ang mohs. Ditched the asians coz they're boring, nerdy, unintersting too. The girls really ugly too. Cos of that I seeked "refuge" with the ang mohs. Ah...these people really a million times more interesting. All that was 5 weeks ago. The aussies....know what is the only thing they discuss during the 2 reccesses?? Sexual reproduction. Sexual body parts. Lesbians. Rape. Wanking. That's all. Also kick and whack each other for nothing. Really noisy too- yelling and shouting at a disco volume. Most of the time I don't really participate.

Except the time when asked whether I surf porn or wank. The answer was no, and that sparked off a pandamonium. The reason?? Not interested, and lose protein( when you ejaculate). They tried to "help", by pinning me on the chair and grabbing my "-"....and trying to give me a "-" massage. Of course I put up a big struggle, but they could not make me erect. Not even when a picture of lesbians were stuffed in my face. Somehow managed to escape and fled. They promised to teach me more adult stuff when I returned. The girls told me if I need any help, ask them. Damn.... I was so uncomfortable with that "advise". What can I do?? A weak "ok" and a sigh. Man these people are crazy. Think it's fun?? In a way, yes. In a way, no.

Oh yeah saw something that changed my life. You all know the subject "work education"?? Yeah, in this crazy class, there are 24 students. Out of this 24, there are only 5 boys, all of which are pretty quiet. Out of the girls, only 4 are quiet. The rest are insane. Even in an insane group....there is always a group a hell lot worser.....that requires medical help from the asylum. There are 3 of them. Sitting right in front of me....is this 3. They made so much noise, the teacher made threats and raised voices in a futile attempt to quiet them down. I thought that was the limit. As it turned out, I was wrong. They started talking about sex, no. Shouting about sex. The unatural thing is that they are all girls. After a while, they started pretending to wank. I was putting my pencil case in my bag, adn the horrific scene paralysed me. My pencil case dropped out of my hands. Thay turned around and saw me. Started laughing, and asking me whether I know what they are doing. I stammered the words softly "wanking". They started squealing and asked me if I wanked before. I said no. Of course, they gave each other funny looks. They satrted askhing me questions like "aren't you curious" or "need us to help you" or "It's really exciting and fun. Why don't you give it a try?" Another girl behind me overheard the conversation, and drew a penis, then asked me if I know what it was and have I seen it before. Also tought me how to "play" with it.

Oui!! Not like I need to know right?? These people are insane. They're crazy!! Ow man, someone helpppp......I think only MOP will appreciate such a life. There's more to tell, next time.

P.S. khing if this blog get's blocked for pornography, or some of the ACX members are not happy with this post, tell me. I'll delete it straightaway. More to come!! Yeah tell me about the party at Xeed's house if he's throwing any and khing hurry with the pics man!! ACX!!!!!!

( For the sake of privacy I won't disclose the names of anyone. Sorry!!)

aftermath

2006-04-14T07:55:00.000-07:00

so it ends again
we finish second and sixth in the country
in cross-country =)

it was not a fairytale
it was not to be

but what we lost was the title
not everything
i was reading my own blog yesterday
and i came across last year's reflections
there i wrote
"i would never exchange the title
for the acxperience"
which was what came to me this time as well

i used to feel that this acxperience
was part and parcel of claiming the title
a stepping stone to glory
but after spending so much time going thru it all
the title becomes the stepping stone
it gave us a reason to fight together
a reason to come together and bond
everyday to go through it
and build towards a better acxperience

well as always
i would address a few people here
and so i shall

to nice, it's been 5 seasons now. but i still remember all the times we had since day 1. now, you know all me, and i know all eu. you. this journey i've had with you has been... well, something no one ever tried to put in words. spectacular, passionate and magnificient come to mind, but no where close. you know honestly, when you first became captain, i didnt see you as one. but as times passed and seasons passed, you grew into it. you became the captain. you became my captain. how you got to that part of my heart, i dunno. but the fact that you're there really says something. this year, you wanted that title. sad to say, it wasnt meant to be. but not because you never led us there. on the contrary, you led us onto something greater. we missed the title in the end, but only by that measly point. overally though, acx06 has been ownage and ownage. and guess who captained it? no, not eu. but you. yes you.

to test, you've been there for 5 long seasons too. you've changed and i've changed, the world has changed and times changed. but i find myself realising our changes were kinda parallel. you were like the brother i never had, even closer. well, not in that xizhen sense but well you get the idea. this walk down with you, has also been splendid. running wise, this year you began to believe. now that's something you can take with you, and i'm sure things will come good. there's still some way to go before we graduate, but cherish every moment, the end will come sooner than you realise. even though you're a bright kid and think fast, it will still come faster. and you know something? you were talking about how the team is like when vic and i arent around. guess what? you're never there to see how its like without you too. go figure. you're a bright kid.

to mop, you're not as senior as the REAL cabinet, but there's this feeling that you've been there since a long time ago. well this year i know how much you really wanted that title, but it was not meant to be. you blame yourself for not running faster. but shit happens, and shit just happened that day. it was just a bad running day. but away from that, i've seen you grow from strength to strength, though not height to height, and you've really been fast faster fastest. all your training did not pay off on you alone. it helped us. it helped us all. i still remember what you said after your first season "there's this bond here that i cant find anywhere else". and i think that should matter alot to you. we are a team. and you did not lose that one point. we all had a part in that one point. whatever it is, you may not have got your hands on the title, but you still have this team, this team that will be there always, even if you never reach puberty.

to jon, it was great to have you back. i can safely represent the team and say we appreciated your return. we'll always be glad to have you back, running or not, dota or not. yes jon, you are irritating, but that has become part of this team. when you first left, i kinda missed all the irritation. it was like a blank page in a book. and although we're all mortals, you're one fast mortal. just go on running the way you do, and one day we'll get to see you on tv, wherever you are. as you go back again, do remember us and keep in touch. think about all the times you've spent with us, and know that you have a place in our hearts, in this team. i'll send you the pictures when i get my hands on them. so till then, aurs fallah nome.

to seb, it was heartening to see you run to school in the mornings. the way you wasted your body at 3:18s. how you still persisted with a diet plan and how you took it upon yourself to manage the new blood. i applaud your committment. i thought it was going to be seb year, but cramps are bitches and bitches strike when you least need them. disappointing, yes, but you've done your part and i'm really proud of you. i know you're not gonna crumble at this because that's just who you are. we've still got next year without jon and we're gonna need ppl like you to fill that void. and i know you can.

to changming, i've seen you grow from arm rest to tower over the past few years. you've been really fun to have around in the team, and really, you're not slow at all. you just hit puberty too late. you've gotten alot faster now and that's quite encouraging isn't it? i can see you doing well at track, and i know you will. and you too, are a piece to this acx puzzle. it'll be emptier without you and the flying pandas.

last but not least, but also certainly not the most, to victor, although your trng didnt pay out for you in the end, it paid out for us. there was a standard there that reminded us that we haven't been the most hardworking ones. and that only served us better. you had this wide influence on us, literally and metaphorically. you gave much to this team in every aspect and for that i thank you. i still remember how you gave up that last time trial. how you put the team before yourself. that is what you have learnt from all this and do carry it off with you.

i didnt have smtg for everyone
cuz i dun really noe everyone well
and though our team is small
its not small oso

but all this i have to say
this team has come to be my family
and every minute i spent
be in lanning, hanging out
or even trng
were the best minutes of my life
even better than with my girlfriends
but dun tell them that =)

it all ends
but has it?
the title has escaped our grasp
but that is all
the real deal is still with us

and so another chapter ends
not a happy ending
but a great chapter it was
take a break
walk around
but do come back
we're not done yet
we'll flip the page
and we'll pen another

the writers may come and go
but the essence will never change
the acxperience shall never change

1 point, no point

2006-04-14T00:01:00.000-07:00

i think i blew it.
it was my fault.
i know its was not because of the thing i did
its because of the thing i never do.
1 point seperates us from champions and 1strunners up
i guess u must have thought it was the same
no it is not.
the difference is too huge for me to comprehen
its my fault

let the tears flow
1 point seperates us from victors and losers
its not a pun dun get me wrong
i know i just suck.
i guess time would heal all wounds
maybe so. but the depression is too big
in my heart, everything is over
blame me just blame me
i would understand.
cause i caused everything

i m sorrie. for everything guys

I suck

2006-04-12T12:54:00.000-07:00

I am the shithead
I didnt even do my pb
I was 20s off my pb
I caused the team to lose
I am a failure

Let the tears flow and the heart break.
Nothing can be done now

I am sorry acX
I let you down.

second place victory

2006-04-12T09:55:00.000-07:00

i'm kinda numb still. it definitely hurts
but tell you what. go rest first.
let's talk tomorrow.

lets show them how to live, accept the pain always forgive
watch the sun go down, learn the sound of following all that is complete

a new chapter begins

2006-04-12T08:46:00.000-07:00

i know you all are disappointed
it hurts, itdoes, that single point
yet look back and do be pleased
for your rich history and times shared

i myself may have experienced not this season
with you brothers, runners, friends
however, i do know one thing
you share moments of joy, pain and hope

joy of training as a break from school
joy of friendships aplenty and bountiful
joy of camaraderie and getting stronger
joy of, best of all, lovely laughter

pain of training as part of strengthening
pain of missing training due to sickness and injury
pain of disappointment of bad-run races
pain of discouragement as a result of the afore mentioned

hope of training to bring yourselves to new heights
hope of times without sorrow
hope of good news that a brother is back in action
hope of a faster time tomorrow

you all have each other to support and be supported by
thus i pray you blame not each other
pain happens and you have to take it in your stride
using it to get stronger

remember that i share you hurt and so it should be less
and that life's hardest moments are all but God's tests
how you all have tried and sometimes its not meant to be
but that no matter what, no matter how you have AcXcountry

cheerio, my brothers who have walked the path less chosen.
for those who think they have disappointed, i know the feeling.
truth be told, i'm really sore about messing up for rj.
but the sun has set and let it have borne with it the pain.
do not let disappointment stagnate you progress. instead, use it-
to spur yourselves on... on to a faster time and better finish.

-love, your lone alumni member of 2005, ~loong*=)

+p.s: there's track and field.

1 day

2006-04-11T05:28:00.000-07:00

the morrow bids the final run
be it in bitter rain or blazing sun
burn the race with no regrets
beyond our all - they'll pay their debts

now remember
let's stick together
defy the odds
it's now or never

just believe, and wings will spread
stars will shine
and sorrow spared
it is time
it's time they bled
their fall the line
to our victory thread

come tomorrow as you step up to race
as you flash and fly at that deadly pace
remember our dream
our dream as one team
and if it is meant to be
it is up to we

2 days

2006-04-10T05:52:00.000-07:00

it's almost here
can you see it?
yellow and white tents
green, lush grass
that gold trophy

can you hear it?
the buzzing crowd
the sound of footstrikes
that ringing bell that never seems to stop

can you taste it?
the salty air
the taste of fear
the taste of victory

can you feel it?
the nerves
your shoe hugging your feet
the curves of our prize

can you?
will you?
do you?

3 days

2006-04-09T05:48:00.000-07:00

hey guys
its 3 days more to nats
just wanted to thank you all
for coming this far
we've gone down the path less taken
and will walk out victors

as wednesday bids us run
remember the times we've spent together
happy or sad
hold them dear to your hearts
and we shall run

to put it this way
nats is a culmination of everything we've been through
the ups and the downs
the good and the bad
the training and the lan
the jokes and bonding we shared
it will not end there
but it will be a summary to a long chapter
but we cannot write a beautiful conclusion
if the main story is bad

but our story has been good thus far
it may not be a fairytale
but sure as heck, it was a good story
just feed on all that we've been through
soak it up
and together we will hold that pen
craft our very own finishing to it

and if we were to draw something to tell our story
we shall draw a ringing bell
to show the world that dreams do come true
because ours will
to show the world that he who believes will make believe happen
because ours will happen

i have heard the bell
you have heard the bell
we have heard the bell
now they will hear their knell

5 days

2006-04-07T05:41:00.000-07:00

can you smell it?
can u smell that sweet smell of victory drawing close?
as we only have 5 days left,
to dominate what we always want to do?
to finish wat we have started?

cum april-12, we shall show how strong we realli are.
as we take on the limits
that have never been brought out inside us
just give ur best shot

can u remember last year?
the sad and emptiness after the nationals,
when u thought there was nothing to do
and lost in ur own world

do u want it to be repeated?
i dun think so right?
lets just make this season a little different
as we continue to fight

just 5 more days to the end
everything you have work for, dream for, live for, eat for,
and i am sure u are willing to die for
cause we are Oneheart Onemind
we are AcX

*ringring* are u hungry?

7 days

2006-04-05T08:07:00.000-07:00

7 days left
1 week more to go
as every feet go deft
as every leg begin to flow

stick together
more than ever
run in splendour
in OUR fervor

not 20 runners
just one team
running in numbers
on one single dream

no time now
nothing you can do
sweat on your brow
will never serve as true
as the aspect of team
that lends to our steam
what i have come to deem
the best of acX to ever be seen

it doesn't matter if i believe
nor if you, if he
but all will come well and we'll come to achieve
if the believers are all of we

but i know
the bell has rung

I am here, mortal

2006-04-04T01:41:00.000-07:00

At last, I am REBORN. The Lich King has granted me eternal life!!!

Yeah yeah whatever. I reached Singapore safely with no troubles at all. Sorry for worrying all of you, esp. since I heard you all planned a welcome dinner. Sincere apologies for all the trouble and disappointment.

I promise to make it up to all of you by giving my all in the coming race. Not just me, everybody who have made it to the team are to give everything they've got. Tiredness and lactic acids are only feelings. If one can just chuck these hindrances aside, a PB is a guarantee.

I await the day the gold trophy shall be lifted towards the sky. Not in anybody's hands, but ours....and only ours. ACX FOREVER. E-CEPHABALANA!!!!

jon where are you

2006-04-02T07:30:00.000-07:00

mr ang went to the airport to fetch you
but he couldnt find you
if by any chance u get to read this
just ask to borrow anyones phone
just get a phone from anyone u can find

10 days

2006-04-01T20:04:00.000-08:00

it's ten days to the finals
just ten days more
let's keep running like the tidals
faster than before

down that finish
pounding that gravel stretch
if we believe, we'll relish
having acx in history etch

run stride by stride
and that dream will come true
together must we on this journey to ride
then will that bell ring for me for you

not twenty runners, but one team
chasing one hope, just one single dream
"one long season, one last race"
"they keep running, running in haste"

the bell will ring.

2 weeks

2006-03-29T03:49:00.000-08:00

Hey guys, it only 2 weeks more to cross nats.

Its really time to push past your limits
Feel the rush of air blowing past you as you pound the turf

But most importantly, stick together.
This team has the ability to lift the championship high above our heads
Its just above how much we want it

Train hard, push hard,
Run hard.
Run not for yourself but for this team,
this team that we have spent so much time with,
this team that we have shared our joys, sorrows, blood and tears.

Run for ACX.....
Run AC, RUN.....

19 days

2006-03-26T06:36:00.000-08:00

nats round the corner guys
the time to start pushing has long passed
now is the time to go beyond even that

for the c div
u noe where u stand
but know u dun haf to stay there
take that step and plunge into trng
there's not enough time for u to burn out now
if u give it beyond ur all it will just come good for u
its about how much u want it
i know our c div team is a match and mix team
u havent been together for very long
but in some of u i see that spark
that passion and heart that has kept us going
i really believe u can be meant for great things
but what i believe is not important
what u believe is

for the b div
we too know where we stand
and i know where we want to go towards
do rmb where that is
and hold it when u're trng
so often i see us not trng towards that aim
to be champions
we've gotta give like champions
sacrifice like champions
train like champions
we can, i know we can
but cross country is not about can or can not
its about wanting or not
now how much do u want it?

i tink sticking together when u're running is really impt.
maybe we should have emphasized this from the start
but its not too late to do it
every gap u close between u and ur team mate counts
every gap u close down is some more points gained for us
and some more points lost for them
its easier to run together
and harder for others to see us run together
as long as we close the gap
c or b div we will do well
very very well
its about how much u want it
so i say please... want it

2006-03-14T07:19:00.000-08:00

hey guys

nats are coming up.
less than one month to go.

thats what?
20 trainings? 2 or 3 more 3.18s?
1 or 2 more dota sessions

the thing is we're not ready
not really or not at all
it doesnt really matter.
jus know nats are right round the corner
maybe even closer

so train harder than you've ever trained before
train smarter too
play to your strengths

if u cant sprint
be so far in front the next guy cant even see you
if u cant finish the race
make the guy next to you think he's so slow theres no point finishing
if you cant start fast
finish in a blaze of glory

when u see ur teammate giving 100%
make him give a 110%
den show him a 120%

fastfasterfastestacx
maybe. its up to us.

1 month

2006-03-13T04:23:00.000-08:00

Hey people.
Its only one more month to nationals.
This last month will be the most crucial part of our training.
Let's finish off what we started 6 months ago with a bang.

Its is up to us.
One more month.
Run with perseverance.

How much do u want it?
I HELL DO....

2006-03-12T06:20:00.000-08:00

its a month till april 12
taking away wings and the final week
we have roughly 20 trngs left to nats

for those who never heard this
how well we do
disregarding all the mishaps and accidents that happen
will come from our talent, dilligence and passion

we cant help talent
some have more
some have less
but nonetheless
we all have some
that much i can assure you
being a factor that we cannot change
leave it aside, and dun look at it

dilligence, or the hard work you put in
comes during races
when u need to force yourself to move faster
but more so
when u're trng and need to push your limits
when ur legs scream at you
your lungs collapsing
your mind failing
dilligence is more crucial here
train hard to run hard
train fast to race faster
no amount of dilligence during a race will take you very far
a consistent amount during trng will

passion, comes in two forms
passion for running
the love of moving your legs faster
taking in all the pain coursing through your veins
scaling rolling hills and pounding mother earth
passion for the team
the love of running for a cause
stride by stride, heartbeat for heartbeat
for each other, by one another
running soul to sole...
and i guess passion for running is not really in our hands
you cant make yourself genuinely love something

so this leaves us with dilligence and the team
our paths to cross country success
take them

Greetings brothers

2006-03-04T21:43:00.000-08:00

As promised, the restless dead has awakened!!

How are all you guys? Congrats for the sat race. Seeing Seet's blog pictures you all must have done really well. Hope you can tell me the timings. Anw some of you has been asking me to give my address and email. My house address may not be accurate....my father refused to give me the house address so I have to do some figuring here and there. It is 30 stanley avenue at....Blair attol?? Not accurate, sorry.My email is Tweian(underscore)terry@yahoo.com.sg .

Thanks and curses to everybody who turned up at the airport. Brought tears to my eyes. All the others who could not make it thanks nonetheless. Thanks for treating me to dinner, brothers, and I will try to repay all of you whether you like it or not(haha). FOr the other races good luck and lift the trophy higher, and Victor let's see if you can keep up your dominating indiv champion streak:) for annual track and field. Speaking of dominating, remind Xeedy(painfully) of a particular venomancer game.

Good luck my brothers. Shanda'lo Kaldorei!!

jonny to australia

2006-03-02T18:20:00.000-08:00

Jonathan leaving Singapore for Australia, a day that acX will always remember.
Went to send him off at the airport..
Had dinner, screwed around, and the final sending off..

Thankfully he'll be coming back in about a month's time.
Specially to run cross country nationals for acX.
We'll always remember.. Jonathan Lim Zhi Min.

He better not forget to come back...
acX. one heart.

I"M STAYING!!!

2006-02-19T18:43:00.001-08:00

Sorry i have to overwrite loong's post....do have a good look at it below my post, pretty good inspiration

Good news ppl,
Jonny is able to return
He will come back to save all of you
Australia school has agreed to train me
but I fear a big problem
In Singapore is pre-race training
In Australia there's no race to train for
Training may be a lot more slack
Will i deprove???

Help pray for me brothers
Pray for extremely ardous training
Hopefully I'll retain my form
Even better improve by leaps and bounds
Hope I can do sub 15 in Nats
Not impossible....I did hope to do sub 16 in 2004 begining
Sounded impossible, all of you laughed at me, asking me if i thought i was leon wai
But I still did it
Is is not impossible now?Possible!!!

Ask for your prayers, brothers.Shando'falah shindo da'nieb

the time doth come

2006-02-19T07:07:00.000-08:00

something from seet first before i write my own.
"Pain is only temporary,
Pride is forever,
Pain passes with time and Time passes,
therefore Pain is just a strain on the Brain without Refrain,
and that's why Cross Country runners are Insane."

sitting around for too long
waiting for someone or something
taken too much time and wasted it
but its past so look forward

two months of training
of load then supercompensation
of trying to recapture the 2005 spirit
urging the best to come forth

the desire to strive hard
to do well and to win
burn the competitors and competition
strive on and run with passion

long for the best and do the necessary
overcome pain and problem
break barriers mental and physical
overcome all odds

extend and increase the limiting threshold
stretch the body heart mind and soul
become a sadist if it means enjoying the pain
fight for all there is to gain

destroy the useless
remove distractions
desire better
to run much faster

fly with wings and soar
to set the pace on the racing floor
telling the mind that there is one dream
knowing you run for the basis of your team

changing gear effortlessly
oiled well through training so fearlessly
time to fight for whats you want.need.desire.
the little flame now a raging fire

he was once overwhelmed by the pace
shall set forth his mind now to win the race
to actualise this scene he play many times over
to leave a legacy in his wake forever.

its looming.its here.lift the limit.
its coming. it near. DO YOU WANT IT?

cos I DO.

acx crusade

2006-02-18T07:16:00.000-08:00

jon is staying guys
what was bright
is now brighter
but that doesnt mean slack off
more than ever
we need to surge forward
give each other support
and launch an attack no one can refute

its 7 weeks to nats now
my ankle gave way today
and since anything can happen
i urge the rest of u to rise
if i dun make it back in time
i hope there's someone there
covering my position
but if i do come back, even better

the title is still in our hands
we can still do smtg abt it
choose to do it
because your brothers are slogging it out
trying to carve out a title
and its unfair if u dun
but if u dun feel obliged, u dun really belong here
but for the big part of u
go for it
for now perhaps nothing matters much
and nothing much matters because cross is here
its just 7 weeks more
the last 7 weeks have gone so fast
the next will pass with equal haste

step forth and run
know the race is done
from soul to sole we run the race
from heart to hard we push the pace
with passion we ran our max
with love we ran fast for acx

our title calls

2006-02-13T05:33:00.000-08:00

hello friends
its me again
just under 2 more months guys
i feel the title is within our reach

i think wad ang said 2dae is very true
when u go out there and run
do know its not just abt u
and that guy infront of u that u hafta catch
its u, plus your 20 teammates running in soul and heart with you
and that lone guy infront u hafta catch
its not you against him
its us against him

maybe alot of u may not know
cuz u've been kept in the luxury of this team
but i've compared our team to others
and here's somethings that i appreciate
some stuff that really makes acx worth my calling home
maybe u dun realize
but thruout my 5 years
we've never quarrelled
its just smtg between us i cant explain
yes i noe of many teams that haf internal bleeding
they backstab, quarrel and fight over various things
and then there is a spirit
in some other teams
they have to ask who wants to go for races
but it doesnt happen here
everyone wants to run and if they dont
its cuz they cant and not they dun want
i see all these and i really feel comforted
because i noe when the real day comes
i can step out onto turf city
run my hips off
and know that i can still go on
because i have the genuine hearts and spirits of my brothers
i can run without a burden because u carry it for me

over my 5 years i see all these
i see this as what makes us fast
its something i hold very dear to my heart
and i want to embed it into urs as well
2 months will pass very quickly
there is ntg much we can make happen
yes we can hold onto God
but we aren't the only children of God there
he gave us this team and its up to us to use it
there is only so much we can train
so what gives us the real edge
is how much we can train
and tap on each other
6 runners will not win the title
20 of us will

2 more months

2006-02-12T11:00:00.000-08:00

Hey all my fellow crossers..

As u guys can see, today is the 12th of Febuary.
Which means that we have exactly 2 more months to judgement day.

Little time left to give it our all.
And with Jon leaving, we just have to push harder to cover the gap left by him.

Now we need to run together, push ourselves beyond our limits, stick with the fromt pack.
Then we can form a pack of wolves chasing people down.

Currently we have about 4 runners making a strong pack.
And so if everyone runs together in the front pack.
We would be DOMINATING.

Now is time for us to get back what we loaned with a vengence.
And to avenge our disqualification in the road relay.
The road relay was just a testing race.
Yes correct Victor we would just hold the Cup higher on the 12th April, that is when it matters the most.

For appetizers, we have the cross country championships on Sat.
Time to show the other schools what we are really made up of.
No more chances. Lets fight TOGETHER

Another 2 more months.
Its down to us.

How much do u really want it?

Its time.

The bell will ring for those who believe....

"Pain is only temporary,

Pride is forever,

Pain passes with time and Time passes,

therefore Pain is just a strain on the Brain without Refrain,

and that's why Cross Country runners are Insane."

Smile:)

2006-02-11T07:55:00.000-08:00

hey guys, i just want to say good run today. ignore the stupid marshals. they are idiots k?
we have done well today and we prove it to ourself. we are currently 2nd..
but after judging from today, i guess u guys dun realli want to be behind people do you? its 1st in nationals that is the most important right? am i right?
so put the past behind you, wats past is past. i had a bad day anyway. dun let this damper our spirit to be the champions. can?
from today its exactly 2 months to nationals. are u going to spend time watching time pass? or fight for the goal u are looking for?
thats right my brothers. we have to be the best from now on.. no more giving way in races. lets show our dominances..
since jon is gone, we have to push ourself to no limit.. to give our all...

Kevin: dun be too hard on urself. its not ur fault la.. k?
Seet: like u said, there is nationals. so we lift our cup higher. thats all. today give them chances..

well done.. the bell is ringing
you hear it?

Khing sux :)

2006-02-08T17:15:00.000-08:00

Here to overwrite Khing's stupid post

Earggh you will pay for beating me yesterday, punk cos' I tell ya....history won't repeat itself I'll make things change. As long as I'm still living....this won't happen again, Kekeke....

Vengeance, Khing....Allathofa'las, farantho anodora!!!

race

2006-02-08T07:42:00.000-08:00

hey peeps
blazing race today
blazing pace, blazing hearts, blazing sun

this entry might sound ego boosting
but it isnt k
im very modest and we all know that

today i felt good and i grabbed the chance
i stepped out of my comfort zone
and ran seet and jons pace
which everyone shld noe by now
is blazing fast
much faster than my regular nega split pace
yes it was painful
yes i wanted to give up
but i didnt
and in the end i ran my 16:17

maybe some of u may think
aiyah im slower than so and so
therefore i shld keep xx distance from him
for the sprinters in the team
yes go ahead but whack fast
for the rest of u however
come on try and step out of that regular pace
stay just behind for as far as u can go
and if u keep at it
i can gurantee u vast improvement
by nats u will keep pace with whoever that is
unless u're running with ghim
but there's not too much of a gap in our own acx
its attainable

as i ran with jon and seet today
and found that kev ran races like that with them
it struck me
we almost resemble our 04 team
very much enough to win
a solid pack of runners running side by side
spurring one another
striking fear into others
but we need more of you
willing to forgo the comfort of ur pace
to run on passion not on strength
to deny your body the slack it desires

we have two more months to go
the outcome come april is in your hands
u can choose to decide it
or u can choose to let others decide
which one do you choose?

cross = dota lan session

2006-02-08T05:57:00.000-08:00

i think this is my first entry on the blog this year but yea
i was just discussing with kevin about how cross country is just like a dota lan session. lol

see.. currently. ee ghim is owning. actually BEYOND GOD LIKE with this kind of performance... haha
so SOMEONE KILL HIM man.
kenneth seet was on a killing spree but got ended by kenneth khing today with his OWNING performance.
seb is as usual just GODLIKE, being the dota hero with permanent haste.
and kevin is currently out of the game
lol
he says he is still buying chicken rice from meat you there. lol... know why he lags right? hahaha

i've got nothing else in my mind at the moment. just
super good job ppl. keep it up man.

the week ahead

2006-02-06T05:49:00.000-08:00

its the start of a new week ppl
and a testing week this will be, too
today marked a quiet beginning
to the next few days that will come our way

wednesday's acjc xc race
will be our first ever tapered race
last yr at the same race and with the same taper
every single one of you who ran smashed pbs
but i wun even bother to challenge all of you
because that would insult the acx spirit
which runs in our blood
blood only we have, coursing through our veins
the drive that is synonmous with acx
where challenges and urges become but a mere formality
because i know all of us will breach pbs again

following that will come saturday's road relay
a fun run no doubt
where surely we will witness some phenomenal running
undoubtedly coming from ourselves
and once again we will outdo ourselves

hold that belief dear brothers
hold it steadfast
believe that we are the best
and it will come true
with approximately 37 sessions of trngs and races left
the countdown has long started already
the time is now

if there's a time to start trng harder
it should start now
with many races and tapering sessions to come
there are about 20 hard trngs left
not many to go for us
not many for champions

to run fast
we gotta train fast
miracles happen
but less so during races
and more likely over many trngs
make miracles more available to yourself
and go out there and own our turf

perhaps sometimes its hard to carry on
our lungs collapsing, our muscles screaming
at the same time the guy infront is pulling away
the average top20 runner lets go and continues his pace
yet the winner is the one who defies his own mortal being
and runs faster as the fatigue builds
bridging the gap between yourself and the guy infront
as long as all of us starting from now,
develop that attitude during trng
and always aim on catching whoever is infront
we will find that the gap between runner 1 and runner 6 diminishes
yes that is the recipe to winning
running together serves many purposes
and is the characteristic of many championship winning teams
it not only strikes fear and demoralises rival runners
but it also drives everyone to dash down that path together
leaving others to make up ever widening gaps in our wake

the heart of a champion team is built during trng
have you ran your heart out today?

lets go

2006-02-03T01:55:00.000-08:00

hello ppl
am home from trng and my legs are oozing lactic
shiok
anw just wanted to post seb's old poem
tot it was quite gd
so here goes

one fine champion. one fine team

a strong bond. one single dream

one long season. one last race

they keep running. running in haste

long are the days. short are the comings

happy are the times. sad are the timings

but the fallen wont always be felled

the strong wont always win

it is time for us to take back what we lost

to get back what has been loaned.

with a vengeance.

-sebkoh 16th april 2005

i'm sure we all know abdullah's classic already
but here goes again

"Remember the times we spent together

happy or sad

hold them dear to your hearts

and we shall run"

-leonwai 2nd feb 2004

so now as we breach february
and reach into march
as we train without relent
and run with our hearts
as we forge the bonds
as we begin to charge
as we spur one another
to gold, never to budge

when we tire and fall
when we stumble and struggle
when we grow weary and weak
when we run no longer
remember those times we ran together
along each other, for another
then get up and buck up
grab a hand that will be there
then to that voice in your head make a dare
run ever faster run ever swift
run for brother run for team
running beyond your very max
running the race for acx

its coming. the bell will ring for he who believes.
i believe.

Hi everyone 1st time writing here. Dun worry I will not spam this place... I believe in spamming only tagboards, so those who are overly worried...like Handsome and Kev....please relax haha. I won't be writing here often, probably once every fortnight??

Anw had fun at Xeed's house...I Love Christie!!! Damn fun to use...so cheap and damn strong kick!!! Probably the most powerful hero!!

2006-02-01T05:07:00.000-08:00

Picture of the day

Seb is trying to. erm. what is he doing?

to eu or not to eu

2006-02-01T04:53:00.000-08:00

as all parliamental members of acX know
eu would refer to elliot eu
haha ok that was pure 100% rubbish
no need to say cuz
i know we know eu know. i meant you know.
but recently there has been an outrage (is there?)
of the usage of eu.
i dun understand the outrage
because wads wrong with European Union?
haha ok that was 200% rubbish.
so what do we propose?
or who shall kevin propose to?
be a man kevin - do the right thing

haha ok that was mean
but so how
some say overused
some havent eus enuf
but we dunno how everyone - everyone
feels abt the entire addition to the dictionary thing

my suggestion?
use more yeoh and sunshine
haha
what do you think?
not you. eu.

revamp2

2006-01-21T08:14:00.000-08:00

just abit of adjustment
moved the directory to the cabinet box
and made the title of each post shown

that is all

revamp

2006-01-20T06:48:00.000-08:00

yes a new year bids a new template
im 20 days late but nonetheless still faster den kev can ever react
some mean editing can
took so much trouble to move the boxes
actually was thinking whether to move ornot
cuz kasi's head was in the cabinet box
and his face beside his name
oh well

anw as most of u will remember
clicking anywhere on the picture
will bring u to e desolated, cobweb-infested gstbk
and since the picture's so huge
click with caution

links to ppl under e tagboard
the observant few will notice yangsquare doesnt have a blog
but is hyperlinked
i linked him to his 'home'page
dota-allstars.com

hope everyone takes to this new tempy
im not changing it anytime soon

MOP

2006-01-13T20:30:00.000-08:00

The main reason for this post is to cover the post Khing wrote..
Ha put until so bold..

Ok here are some of the extra reasons for the signing on of the MOP. And extra rules and regulations.

The MOP reserves the right to force any acXer to go through 23mins of pure pleasure if he is found to be depressed or just having thoughts of suicide.

The MOP reserves the right to force any acXer to go through counselling if he is found to be skipping training. The guilty party will then be forced to sit through a video presentation with the MOP to get him back into the right mood and spirit for training.

Anyone caught with the secret weapons of the MOP (aka cd) will be forced to return the possession back to the MOP with an extra 3 times the number of weapons.

Anyone who does not comply with these rules and regulations of the MOP will be forced to sit through a video presentation with him. And the MOP personally guarantees that the guilty party will be able to see a new light, and run like the wind.

2006-01-11T06:29:00.000-08:00

apologies from the secretary cum treasurer aka bgl
for accidently omitting the swearing in of

MOP
Kenneth Seet

the MOP will be operating as mentioned in the previous post

as spiritlifter and will be directly in battle with the spiritbreaker

as such, all members found in depression, angst or bitchy pmses

will be sent to MOP for help

the MOP will use all of his/its resources to ensure that acx remains happy

the MOP is sworn to duty to preserve the happiness of acx

as such, should the MOP fail to comply to the requirements of him/it

the resources made available to the MOP will be confiscated

the MOP requires no backup and is a solo operating cabinet member
due to the MOP's ability to uplift himself/itself

this is the end of the reading of the MOP bill

nothing beyond this sentence will be accepted as a bill progression

mp's keyboard

2006-01-10T11:33:00.000-08:00

aiya stupid khing never put my name in..
Ok this is me, the mp.. or if u like it, Minister of ________
Self declared counsellor and the maker of happiness..

Feeling depressed?
Feeling that life is pointless?
Feeling that u have no one to talk to?
Feeling that its you against the world?
Having thoughts of suicide?

You may be suffering from depression.

And in acX, no one suffers from depression when the mp is here..

Just tell me your thoughts and feelings, and just take home my prescription (aka CD).
And I am sure that u will never see a frown on your face as long as i am here..

At acX, the happiness and health of the team is of utmost priority.

So, if u are feeling depressed, or just in a need of some fun..>>
Just approach me and you will never forget it for the rest of your life.

First post of the year

2006-01-05T04:59:00.000-08:00

Hello peeps.
This is the real 1st post of the year. Victor's post was on the 31st. =)
May this year bring glory.
But nothing will come without pain.
Aiya stop the crappin and get down and dirty.
Push harder during trainings. I know i need speed also.. Haha
Quality! Not quantity!! Haha
This year will be good.
Ang in our sch now, easier to train. Although we still finish at 4:40pm on some days..
Wanking is still allowed i think. Helps us run faster.
Run the race.
And dont forget about EU.
Cmon ppl, we can do it.
I know it. Its all up to us.
Its how much we want the damn thing.
AC AC all the way!!

haha well 2006 has arrived.. and its going to be a wonderful year, especially for the cross team. wun u agree?

a new book has been completed,
with lots of great memories,
as well as hardship and pain.
i just want to say,
thank you to my brothers for walking or running this journey with me
thank you for giving ur blood, sweat and tears
thank you for giving me such experiences that i might nvr get again.
its the final year for me
yes me. Mr fungi
so i hope that as many of you would walk this journey with me as we embark on a new journey
with fun and excitment, as well as pain and hardship

the time has come to put down the pen,
and to start writing a new book.
closed the old ones and keep them dear to ur heart
as we run and nvr look back with regret.

xmas is over

2005-12-27T00:08:00.000-08:00

as of today
xmas was 2 days ago
that means the year is soon coming to an end
and the new year is fast coming to a start
that means training gets tougher
and 3:18 rest times start to drop

maybe if u havent noticed
the time is here
start training our asses off
it'll be too late to cramp in trng in march
it starts now

away with the flab
away with the late nights
away with excess junk food
away with crushes on older girls (girlfriends are fine)
away with super regular waking sessions (having sex is not fine)
and yes
away with dota overdose

for e b div
altho we've retained most of e seniors from last year
hwa chongs still quite very strong
the b div vs team is awfully huge
n to retain glory
we gotta be faster den A div ppl

for e c div
altho theres enough fingers on half my hand to count u
the new blood coming in
can be anywhere from victor-slow to khing-fast
so always be ready to fuse with whoevers coming in

we've got a war to run

A New Season and thus A New Chance

2005-11-28T17:16:00.000-08:00

Hi there to all u acx-ers. I know i'm now like sam chew, an ex-acx-er or rather, an ac-ex-er, but here's some words of ecnouragement. I hope it still counts to you all.

It was definitely much of a pleasure and really good seeing you all again that day at macritchie even though some were 'missing in action'. I still support all of you in your endeavours and really pray you already have in mind what you wish to achieve next year, be it representing your school(note: there is no 'third-party' tone here just because I'm now from THAT school) for the first time or coming in first at nationals. It is always good to have a target in mind when it comes to sports, or for that matter, anything you do. I know that this year we (as AcX2005) lost the 'B' divison title, but no worries, I believe you all have the faith and confidence in retrieving what is, should i say, rightfully ours? ;)

For those new to the team, I welcome you all, if there are any of you. I would like to say that you will enjoy yourself for the whole period of time you are with the team, no matter how long it may be. The team bonding, the unity, the competition, the challenges set by each otherfor one another and the help you will receive to be on your way to becoming the next national champion if that is your wish.

For the seniors, like the cabinet and the secondary 4s and above, I would like to take this oppportunity to say that you all will do well and have done rather well this year as it is. I know that there are some bitter memories in your minds, but don't pressure yourself unnecessarily; use those memories only for inspiration and not hate in any form or to stress yourself out. The mindset is very important. You must never believe that you are slow or you will be slow. Remember the winning mindset is extremely important. Finally, I would like to thank you all for the amazing times I've shared in these past 2 years or so that I've ran with you all. I really pray that all of you will continue to keep close to each other and close to God for the Christians and that the camaraderie will never die out.

Yours Sincerely,
-loong [remember me? *;)]

final day

2005-07-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

hey. track finals is just round the corner. marks the end to a very eventful track season.
i dont know but somehow each season comes and goes but the memories and friendships are never the same. you may run the 3000m race billions of times but still enjoy every moment of the arduous seven and a half lap race set before us.
it's so incredible.

anyways... currently acs i b div is second place with 107. trailing some measly 29 points before the not so highly regarded competitor school. our c div stands at 3rd with 66 points. acjc boys are 4th with 66 pts and the girls are currently 5th with 56.
it's gonna be the fight for our life and ac is so gonna win.

let me recall this poem i wrote back on 16th april 2005.
one fine champion. one fine team
a strong bond. one single dream
one long season. one last race
they keep running. running in haste
long are the days. short are the comings
happy are the times. sad are the timings
but the fallen wont always be felled
the strong wont always win
it is time for us to take back what we lost
to get back what has been loaned.
with a vengeance

man. to kevin, xide and kenneth khing. our honourary cabinet. our hearts and hopes go out to you. run all the best you can and fight with heart, soul and spirit.
to all the other trackers. 100ms and the relays. run for u are good and u can do it. really.
to all the supporters. cheer super loudly. i am so gonna scream my ass off with kenneth seet. then he can flash after that. ahha

acs i track & field.
middle dee.

speedsters at the speedoflight. created with the hands of God the almighty. God grant us Godspeed.

1st day

2005-07-07T08:08:00.000-07:00

haha. okae nationals started today
no opening ceremony or whatever
so uninteresting.
it's just 1st day.
anyways

2 double whammy runs for acx.
first... 3000m b boys:
fast = wen loong
faster = xide
fastest = seb!!! yay
haha so evil right? but it's true
finals is next week. wed. hope u can make it down =)

second... 3000m c boys:
slow (not moving... coz not there) = nat
fast = joash
faster = jonathan
as usuall... the fastest is still me. so happy first day of nationals.

*terrorist should screw off. i hate you terrorist!

boo bleargh

2005-06-29T05:58:00.000-07:00

it's time for some major uplifting of this blog
we need an extreme make over to draw back the floods of readers...
maybe a little botox or widening of eyes or reddening of the lips. (think someone. someone i laughed at real hard.)
anyways... it's gonna be a week before nats start. wow. so exciting...
yea it is... especially for 3k runners who have their events on the first day. poor fellows
pity me... plagued with all sorts of who knows what disease and bronchitosaurus
now my legs are sparing me any pain.
from the bones to the joints. the shin to the knees... the pain overwhelms this poor soul that has been tormented from a major blood loss earlier in the day.
suffering from an estimated 5000 red blood cells lost due to a major tragic accident that occured in the bio lab.. the star runner was reduce to dust and ashes as the red fluid carrying life gushed out of his tiny finger.
torture plagued this poor boy of only fifteen. that same afternoon, his knees gave way, crumbling to bits as he fell head wards to the ground. lying helplessly as the rest whizzed past him in flashes, groaning and moaning in pain. the excruciating pain of the over worked cartilage. yelp! the trauma still fills his mind as he crawls around, unable to use his useless and spent knees. o' poor thing.
