Cross Country 2013 :)

Today was our school's annual cross country event. And overall, I think it was a success. :) Well we got to be dismissed early, at 12.30 pm, and then Dunnie and I went over to Sogurt for "lunch". We actually thought that many people will be flocking there, but it turned out that we were practically the only ones there for about 15 mins. So it was really cool, cuz we "had the whole place to ourselves"... :D

Then we went to Macritchie reservoir earlier to "book" a locker to put our stuff in. Then we went to help the teachers to set up the route, which was slightly tedious... And it looked like a crime scene in the end... Sad that I don't have a photograph of it here... 

So basically I was the helper, cuz no one wanted to volunteer themself, maybe it's because there's only one helper per class, and we are all afraid of being alone... Well but you know what? Because I was alone, I made a new friend! :p 

Ok then we gathered under the hot sun, and Mr Mac kept emphasising for us (31 people) to form a line in single file when we don't even have enough space for 5 people to stand in a row -_- But oh well,  we waited, and waited, and waited some more, and I really sympathised for my dear friends, cuz all of their energy would have been drained by the blistering heat before they even started the race... And we sent out 6 of our best runners to be competitive, and yup, they all did awesomely well, and Shing even made the 10th ranking! :D And she earned an extremely well-deserved, rather glamorous trophy! :D

And then when I saw more "yellow tops" coming through the finishing line, Dunnie and I went there, and looked out for our very own awesome people, and I'm incredibly proud to say that, all of us came through the finishing line running. All of us! (except me of course cuz I didn't even run...) 

But I was still more proud of you. :) Look at how well you did. Be proud of yourself ok? And suck it all in. You deserve it! :p You know what, maybe you should do this more often. Run hard, and drive all the pain away. 

You've got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause you're a champion and we’re gonna hear you ROAR
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause you're a champion and we’re gonna hear you ROAR
