promos denouement

There's no way i can account for any of the achievements that i have.

I'm just so blessed. =)

Feels so like AC again! everything good just drops down from heaven all like that! Like tababoom all the blessings jus pop out. Have not felt so blessed since last year ended. I dont feel very english mood right now so screw my english + sentence structure.

Here are two big blessings that blew into my life:
1. Promotion
2. x-country

1. Promotion
I've been promoted!! woohoo! ain't God great?? haha with 4 O's and i got promoted that's not someting that is not very rare at all! Only got promoted today after my interview wif the vice principal at 430. Thank God for his favor upon me =) Thanks soo much to all those who've prayed for me man!! Clarence rachelhuen rachelle jinglin yongneng samuel bentan Kaiqia.n Samuel mi.ngtse and Letitia! As well as all the anonymous ppl out there =) These things dont go unappreciated. I'm also touched by the support shown by friends! esp some school mates. Its true that in troubled times like this true friendships suffice, its nice to see someone who ain't in your class/close to you showing concern for you. Can't go on thanking everyone cos it wont end..lol.. Perhaps one of the ppl who has given me much needed support would be my classmate Zo.ngyi, great friend man=)

Thank so much also no use.. only 5% of the above actually visit this place.

2. X-country
On thursday, something damn unexpected happened. I was lunching at YongChye chicken rice with my class during a break, when i received a phone call. Wasnt some ordinary phone call, was a phone call from Jeffr.ey Ng! This damn pro xc guy from my school. Sec school own xc for 3 years or someting if i not wrong. Top scorer in tchs somemore, pro. Leon Wai talked bout him before too tts how i know.

Here's how e convo went (roughly, at least e salient points):
jeff: harloe hey is is weixuan?
wx: yoyo...yeah i am wazzup
jeff: eh err where are u now?
wx: eh im eating lunch. wazzup man?
jeff: oh ok can i meet you in the canteen? got some things to talk about
wx: nono.. im at yong chye chicken rice

When he called i was actually thinking: crap..is this some fellow retainee guy? here to remind me of some important retainee's briefing im supposed to attend or someting. I wasnt feeling e best of moods, cos jus received a sms from my tcher "can your parents meet Mrs Chin (VP) tmr at 430pm?".. regarding promotion interview duh.

wx: why why wazzup man? who are u?
jeff: oh im jeff.rey, nah dont think u'd know me.
jeff: anyway your 2.4 timing was quite impressive, so just wondering if u'd like to join cross country.
wx: (!!!)
wx: ahhh....OH okaay.. ah actually i know u jeffrey right? yeah the famous one..haha
jeff: hahaha oh ok..anyway my coach would like to talk to you what time would u be free today?
wx: ahh ok sure thing man..hmm

blablabla.. that was basically the gist of the conversation..haha.. HOW COOL IS THAT??? I've got an invitation to join cross country!!! NEVEr in my life have i ever received such an invitation before la! and somemore by the xc pro himself! DAMN HONOURED!! haha =D For the first three hellish months of H.CJC, ive been asking God to give me a sport, cos nothing seemed to fit my liking, and all were too lousy eg. canoeing. NOW, He's given me a sport!! and in such an way! Invitation leh...like aWEsome totally~~~

So i was left to think about what to do with my cca for the rest of the day, as well as to think about how to break the truth of my results to my parents and ask them come down on friday for interview.

We settled to meet on friday 10 o'clock. On thursday night was even perfecting my handshake with my brother to give a firm and professional impression.

Wx: like this can?
weizhe: no too hard
wx: like this?
weizhe: no too hard.. u dunneed use so much strength, dun have to squeeze jus be firm and lock your whole hand.

So that was settled. I looked rather like a sportsman already, regained most of my tone, but ok no tan =( . Jeff called round 10 and brought me to some bench in chinesehigh. The coach was Mr Ramus.han. If you dont know, he's some damn pro coach. Record holder for singapore's marathon k. If u cant already tell from his name, he's Indian. oh btw jeffrey was a nice guy. here was how my first meeting with him went:

Jeff: hey weixuan (apparently he knew what i looked like)
wx: hey yo..u jeff right? haha nice to meet you
(shake hands)
blabla
jeff: eh we go over to chinese high side he's waiting there.
blabla
jeff: eh i heard you got 10 bikes at home ah?? haha
wx: haha yeah! and i heard you jus bought a bike, tcr3 right? hahaha
jeff: haha wa.. yeah i did
wx: why buy bike? interest ah? haha
blabla
jeff: onli ride 2 times, second time puncture already. liddat how ah?
wx: (describes) (he just nods.like..apparently he doenst understand)
blabla
jeff: eh heard you were acsi sailing captain ah? haha
wx: Waa....eh not bad you damn well informed huh?
jeff: hahaha

we talked about cross den we finally reached the coach. Talked to him..wa that guy..talks alot man! basically told me about alot of stuff.asked bout my commitment interest level and all. He did fats test on my triceps and commented "hmm good low fat also". Trainings would be like 4 times a week?? minimum la.haha i was like errr ok. well at least not as time consuming as canoeing, besides with proper build up of intensity i would be able to handle the trainings. I trust his training, and besides I've got a measurable level of fitness which is already much above average.

It den dawned on me that i had to tink about what to do with strings too. My mind was subjected to a vortex of thoughts. I had already been training up squash, cos i had wanted to join squash next year. Now, cross country. What about strings? i want to play at botanical gardens. and besides. Im strings vp, leaving ain't gonna be easy.

Regarding strings Mr Ram said he would talk to Mr teng about it, ask to transfer me out of strings into cross, as talents were needed for cross country. Makes perfect sense to me. I'm wanted in cross to make a difference, strings would have to oblige as its for the school. Besides i did not enter hc thro strings, hence im not bound to strings in anyway. However, he stated that i would have to perform, if not ppl would start saying like "see y u take him away? he would have been of more help in strings". Besides i currently seem like im more of a hindrance den a boon to strings.

If i dont quit strings, can too. Strings on wed and fri. Id train cross on mon tues thurs and sat. Reasonable, but id jus die academically.

Now im quite confused. What does God say? i really hope to get his guidance. I became vp of strings not cos of pure luck nor my abilities. He made me vp for a reason, tho i dunno what yet. I never know his purposes. He put me in HC somehow, even when i got 10 points. Den he promoted me cos it would be dumb to bring me in and retain me. Den i had a strong inner voice saying "u need a sport" hence i trained squash. Now Ive got an INVITATION. its not someting u get everyday. Maybe He wants me to join cross? den why he made me vp in e first place?

In church im taught to follow the inner voice in my heart. Do the thing that gives u peace in your heart. If i do so, i'd jus join cross. Well, i trust him to take care of my studies, ive got free physics time anyway. I trust him to take care of strings, someway He'd settle it if its his will. Maybe he make me quit? maybe he wont. He always settles matters cleanly and efficiently. Maybe he'd ask me to join squash! why not?

Argh, i really dunno. Today jus learnt "give us this day our daily bread bla bla". id jus live today and worry about today. He'd handle my future. Can't decide for myself, no point troubling over it, jus let go.

3. Uncertain blessing
been hearing this rumour that there's this ex-scgs girl who likes me..HeY hey why not? lol to me 'scgs girls' are synonymous with 'pretty'. And yeah she's pretty. Not sure bout its credibility. Apparently she dismisses it as a rumour started by her class for entertainment sake, or at least that was what she told me. Haha if its true it'd be e 1st time my charm actually worked out right lol. Actually i dunno what to do. I doubt its true anyway, so im actually not doing anything/ thinking bout it. blogging jus for archive purpose.
