Hey you guys!
This is definitely my first time writing a post..and it feels weird. Nonetheless, I shall try my best to engage so that you'll keep coming back to the blog to read up entries by other trackists.
First all, let me tell those who do not know that I have been trying to pay back money to people I owe to.
Let me tell you, I have not paid for that Nike bottle we all have been using. So I searched for Dianah- the person who manages our money matters- only to be told "it's ok". Haha.. after 2 years of using the bottle, only now have I actually bothered to pay back, I'm that pathetic ok.. But, on a serious note, whoever found that during a certain time when we all bought the bottles and you found yourself $18 short, come and find me.
To Jerome, I have not paid for the tickets to the Singapore vs Malaysia match.
And to the people I took taxi with after the match..I did not contribute to taxi fare.
Ok... thats all the money matters from me which I must say out. If I have forgotten anything else, please tell me. I want to be debt-free. And of course, guilt-free :)
Ok back to a more cheerful mode. I realised the blog has been filled with upcoming events. For those of you who can make it, do participate. For those who cannot, try to join other events. I guess these are the ways we can meet up with each other and crap together. Oh.. besides running, how about other activities like Blood Donation? Hehe.. Jack's arms look inviting for needles. Jack..why not you go for the monthly aphresis, donate blood platelets :)
..I do not know what else to write. So I shall do a "vomit" of what is happening to me right now. I am currently in SIM Global Campus, doing University of London's Bsc in Management with Direct Hons. Haha.. for year 1 units, I have to do things such as Intro to Econs, Math and Stats, things which I have never done well in JJ. Will look forward to how I will handle these subjects. As for CCA, I am in the women's soccer team. I still suck..cannot get how you kick without doing a toepoke.
Oh.. and I do have to say something about the Olympics. I am jealous of how some people are born with great physique (look at Phelps - compare his height to mine, it's like Everest vs Bukit Timah) and at the same time I am bloody amazed at his diet (20000 calories per day- did I get it right?) and of course very inspired with his achievements of 8 gold medals. The other one which got me opening my mouth for a mozzy to enter was Bolt's 10.69s dash for the 100m race. That was really fast. And to see that he actuall slowed down a few metres before the final line.. you can imagine he could have probably brought the timing much lower. These people work hard to become champions in their field. And I sincerely feel that the medals or monetary rewards they receive will never match up to the hard work they have put in all along. I feel that what is better is that the rest of us work hard to reach their level. That human spirit and competitiveness to be the best would be the most rewarding thing to see.
And so dear trackist, I pose this challenge to you. Have a dream and set your goal. It does not have to be in sports or academics. How about your social or family life? Reflect on how you were in the past, and see how you are now. Imagine what you want it to look like in the future. Let go of things which hold you back and grab on tight to those which drives you. Go work hard for your goals- be the best recruit, be a better son/ daughter, get that results which you have never achieved before. If you ever find your path scattered with stones of criticism or pebbles of negativity, remember, you can always use a broom and sweep it aside :) The rest of the trackists are here to keep you going and see you shine. Together, each of us will become a greater person.
Love
Lastrina

heyx all! it's my turn to do my part to de-dust this place haha.
i realise that it's quite a challenge to write on anything cos there's so much yet so little to say.
here i go.
firstly, i hope that everyone is a-ohkay and in the pink of health(: as you slack, mug,starting to hit the books or frowning upon being 'zombified' haha.
for those/the..
slacking: treasure the moments you have cos only once in a blue moon do you have absolutely nothing to do (related to academics especially)haha
mugging: persevere and think optimistically kay? i'm sure all will pay off(:
starting uni: as you embark on a new chapter of your life,remember to take time to enjoy it while you study hard for your future careers(:
guys: hang on and think of the bright side--the gained experiences,friends made and stuff(LOTS) to talk about during gatherings.oh a gentle reminder to include the girls when you guys get absorbed in discussing about army stuff haha.thanks in advance(:
moving on,it's been a EONS since we ALL last met so can i be a lil selfish and request for full attendance(or nearly there) for the next outing? dont look at me, i have no idea when that'll be haha.just a passing thought/suggestion though.
hmm what else should i talk about..ohkay, a one sentence on how i'm doing currently: waiting for year 2 to start so i've been beach-ing(thus the countless sunburnts haha),watching movies,reading, playing games (in hope of 'curing' my blurness lol),cycling, couch potato-ing(though there are days with NOTHING nice to watch) and running(not a lot though,sighs).thanks to all who has been my partners-in-crime for any of the above haha.anws, what have you all been up to?anything interesting happened?
fyi, there's the new balance real run on 19 oct.for more information, you can proceed to
