HAHA. i have just demarcated the 193cm spot on the hall floor with nice yellow ribbon which is pleasing to the eye. you guessed it! its for STANDING BROAD JUMP. and im gonna practise! i got a stupid B last year cuz i kept losing my stupid balance. but it seems pretty daunting, 193. i know i know, there are lotsa girls out there who can clear the 200cm mark and they're all probably like, geez, what's a hundred and ninety-three lousy centimetres? haha. oh and like, they increased the criteria to get A for 2.4 by 30 seconds! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! crazy NAPFA association people. i dont think my guess deviates far from the truth when i say that the committee is probably made up of depressed souls who have been deprived of physical education in their youth. and now they're all like, "i want future generations to be srtonger! and fitter! more macho! like bulls, not cows! like men, not mice! so i shall raise the standard of each station to an extremely high one to make people fret about getting their As! *cue evil, gleeful cackle*" good gracious, i think i shall execute my first Practice Jump tomorrow. (and thereafter feel ashamed of my pathetic attempt.) i marked out 187, 190 and 193. i HOPE i dont have to mark out anything lower. but then, 193 is like a bordeline A. it's risky!! oh what the hell, dunno if i can even make it there. =( i hate chem practical now!! darn crystals thingy. i was heating my whatchamightcallit..um um..oh right, conical flask on the hot plate on the teacher's bench, and then when my back was turned, the lab technician came in and threw it all away!!!!!!!!!! and my weighing was a perfect 2.5g too! arrrgh to the highest degree. she flushed my potential fruits of labour down the sink, and away into the sewer, to where lurks the unknown. why dont these lab sessions ever work out for me?!!! i was the only loser who without a packet of crystals. bio lab was fun though, we got to make our own little beads. u had to use this glass rod and dip it into yeast-alginate solution, and then drip it into calcium chloride, where each droplet will solidify into a bead. they were so cute! like those little IQ balls that you find in deserts. anwyay, i brought them home in a tiny bag, but sad to say, now, they exist only in the form of a painful memory. haha.. they got squashed and flattened when i put the tiny bag in my file and so i chucked them in the bin. =p my poor poor pearly beads. they could have been such great company. i dont like shopping =( for clothes, anyway. nothing ever seems to look good on me. hmmm..i vaguely remember that i have once lamented about this very same issue. haha. but like, i tried on all this stuff and like, they just dont look nice on me! and then i got sick of trying stuff on cuz i got sick of having to keep removing my clothes just so i can stand in front of a full length mirror in new ones and cringe at the reflection. i did the multiplier questions in the econ MCQ today and it was pretty fun. tee hee.
