Nationals over...

The National School X-Country was last Wednesday. Basically, the season's over. The boys did decent I guess...especially the B Boys. Guhan came in 34th position. Hopefully he'll do a bit better next year. I'm glad he's only 15 now. The top 40 boys came in within 1 and a half minute of each other. Unfortunately Ramarao was injured that day....I'm pretty sure he would come in before Guhan.

All in all, I'm happy with the results. Not like ecstatic but happy that they put in effort. If there's a couple of things that could be improved, would be their attitude. I see students from other schools crying even though they came in top 20. Not tears of joy but tears of disappointment. Even sad and distraught that they didn't do better and yet, students from WSS, simply has a I couldn't care less if I came in 1st or 1000th position....only the B Boys were disappointed. I'm also very happy with the effort put in by the sec 1s. All of them put in tremendous effort. It was good exposure for them. I guess there's the big difference there....the attitude and mindset.

Met Charles, Tan Boon Seng and Rauf there too. Also saw How Chong. I saw a few of the AI students there too...namely Wei Wen. I thought she did well considering that she's only in sec 3 this year. She's got one more year to go. I'm sure with hard work, she'll do fine.

Sports Day was yesterday. A few of my athletes did very well. Raj and Amalesh in particular. They were pretty much neck to neck in almost every finals. Amalesh got the individual championship though....I do feel for Raj. I would think that Raj would deserve it more but hey, that's how it goes....by results. And for once, I was involved in a staff race. Our team came in second. I was the last runner for the relay...the final 100m stretch. I guess I couldn't catch Gary in spite of the fact that I ran like a mad cow.

Anyway, this flu is killing me. On Thursday as I was doing the oral exams, my nose couldn't stop running. And it's still running as we speak. What in the world should I drink/eat to stop this flu. The flu panadol doesn't exactly help. Oh well.....rest and watch tv. I didn't even go for my game today. Didn't want it to get worse. Exams next week too.....so little time so much to do.

Flu-hit,
