(sorry we forgot all about issue 2)
In this issue of wx's guide, we explore into the depths of weixuan's world, and unravel the mysteries that lie within. Some people say he's out of his mind, some say he should not act on impulse, some say he'd regret it sooner or later, while others agree that it is indeed a wise and conscientious and well-thought decision which was timely executed with precision, and there're those who say "what's your friggin problem?". Let's see what weixuan has to say about this. Here are some random exerpts from lalaland:
"I thought that cross country was a blessing la, just suddenly BOOM some great thing finally dropped into my life. Invitation la, how honoured. I thought it was something God had asked me to do, since im quite sure it is a blessing, since i DID ask for a sport as a cca, though that was eons ago in like march? But after trying it for awhile, i found that it's just not my type of cca. Argh. So confusing. What's going on? What does He want me to join??"
"Cross is just not my kinda cca la. Running is not say like my favourite activity or something that i really enjoy doing or something. I'm expected to train like what.. 6 times a week?? twice away?? werh hoo.. no no.. I'm not gonna let your take away my holidays just like that. Its my holidays. Its a time where i can finally do things that i enjoy doing. Its a time i can FINALLY put my friggin JC out of my mind, and TRY to enjoy life. I don't want to do anything associated with the school. I'm out of cross. Why should i run for you?"
"Train so hard, got chance not??? you promise me id be in team. Okay i kinda trust you. BUT you did hint that i would have to train hard and follow everything you ask me to do. I caught that. Next year also sure would have juniors coming in. There are 2 runners this year. with one more jc1 just join like me. that makes 3. If include me that's 4. Only 6 runners can participate in cross country, and only top 4 would be counted. Next year sure have new runners. Probably two or three. If this is the case, 1) i may have no chacne to compete, 2) wont be top 4, what's the point? waste my time. "
"2006 is the only and last year that i can actually excel in cycling and try to be spotted by the Singapo.re Amat.uer Cyclin.g Association. I'm going to concentrate on mountain bike. If i had stayd in cross. I would NOT have time to ride dammit. And riding is something i am ready to commit to. Its a goal. You can say its my life, since i am serious about fulfilling my ambition of riding in the TourDeFrance. Ok maybe not that high-profile but at least become a national rider. You've heard me say that in ACSI all so often, i'm known by my close friends for cycling, its an image formed while i was in AC, and hence i would keep this image and attain that goal. I'm not braggin, but i know i am a jack of all trades. Im good at tonnes of sports, but why am i a master of none? It's cause im never able to commit to one particular sport and train my life away for it. It's time i gave my time to one particular sport. Need to prove myself man. Recently there's an additional goal too! look at le.e w.en si and ga.ry tan. National couple haha. Man wait till i go national too, and get a national girlfriend haha! National rider. No-one but God and Nothing but academics can stand in my way now."
"Friggin cross. You ruined my legs. You brought back an old injury that i had gotten from a bike crash 2 years ago. I thought it was gone for good, now its a recurring pain. There's this stupid thing on my right hip now. You damaged my left sole too, walk down stairs so pain. ThankGod its alright now. AND WORST of all, you damaged my friggin right knee. It's been on for so long, and its getting worse. One day i had to cut short my training cause it hurt so much. I only managed to cycle one lap. Went to see a doctor. Got tendonitis, i went to check the causes of it, and i think i got it by 'overworking' my legs lol. Too much increase in intensity over a period of time. Stupid cross. Doc say rest for 6 weeks. wtf by den school reopen cant cycle anymore lor."
"I've been trying to think about things that WOuld lead me to regret quitting cross. I seeked advice from friends too: david zhenghan clarence yongneng rachelle. They all supported my decision so alright its fine with me. E only regret i could think about revolves around the cool factor component, but nah that's not very important at all. Well, cross certainly ups my cool factor more den strings or co (or combined) does. Well so maybe i thought hey got more chance with girls haha! It's like, when girls ask for my cca (especially those from acjc), i don't dare to say my cca la. If i do most give that kinda 'okaay' reaction, which is kinda sad. They don't know my background, hence the first impression they get of me is strings co, co strings. that's real bad. But ah heck image and cool factor, id rather girls not like me so superficially. "
"The people in cr.oss aren't exactly my type either. How do i put it. There're just this kind of people who can't reach the level of best friends or even good friends. They aren't as fun as ACSI peeps. They're not worth me going down to cross just to see them/talk to them. I won't like look forward to training to meet them that kinda thing u understand? They speak chinese, chin.ese high style chinese. I CANT stand it. " wa ta pao de JI pro eh! (wa he run damn fast eh!) " this is jus one example. Not my type doesn't mean they're not nice btw. Jeffrey is a really nice guy. But its just like hi, bye kinda thing. I've got no interest to bring it further either. I miss sailing, miss my teammates, miss my juniors, miss my pals, miss ppl like jasmine. i can't picture me missing h.c c.ross"
"I hate my school. Dont know why. JUst dont like. I don't want to have anything associated with it at all. I don't want any ccas. that's why i quit cross. Want to quit str.ings, but it ain't that easy. My life's so complicated la. I seriously think too much. Some ppl say i look sophisticated. I think its more like complicated till im like derranged and totally messed up, Confused. I need to simplify my life, dont wan to think about so many things. The main problem is H.C, seriously. But i can't remove H.C nomatter how much iwant to, so i try to remove the subcomponents of hc, the ccas. Hence my first action would be to quit cross. Next up: stri.ngs. I want to be cca-less. So i can just do my own things. Have time to relax, to cycle, to NOT THINK ABOUT SCHOOL AT all. Now lots of ppl are talking bout this "depression" or "you yu zheng" thing, and i really suspect im suffering from it as well. I've never been so down consistently for one whole friggin year before. Something's wrong somewhere. Maybe i shld consult some professional, and maybe i can get psycho-ed into liking hc. If you're gonna say something like, i quote, " to put it curtly, get over it! It's your choice to come to hc", just shut up. I just can't adapt ya happy? People are just different, you can adapt that's good for you, i just can't do so. What's it got to do with you anyway? its my problem, my lost. I need a break man, just give me a simple mundance life for now."
"There's something wrong with this cca called s.trings. What's wrong with it? i really can't tell. The whole cca is just not working out. How can i put this.. The cca may look okay from the outside, but internally there's so much trouble, grudges, discontent. You can't tell there's anything wrong because no-one dares to voice it, i only know when i talk to them personally. Just SO many ppl who dont like str.ings. i can count with my fingers, about 4? maybe more. For such a small cca of 12 people, 4 is already a large percentage. its like 30%. I myself feel weird about it too, and yet i cant do anything to help myself or the other 30%. Nothing will change until the ppl at the 'top' realize this problem. I can't help either, i can't pinpoint the source of the problem, and i don't know how to tell people/go about solving it. There's a problem with "underground conversations" as well, there's a high risk that i might end up like backstabbing ppl or something. I'm not kidding, my verbal influence is powerful, i won't elaborate. Unknowingly, someday i may end up turning the whole cca upon itself. So, with these in mind, the best thing i can do is just to keep quiet and keep eveyrthing to myself, just like ive done so for so long. I actually type alot more stuff, twice the length of this paragraph, but i tink its better i not talk about it.
Plenty more reasons actually, lazy to type already
