Annual road run 3.5km cum CNY celebrations today

I still find it weird, tee jay cians run to celebrate CNY???
Hmm listening to tong tong tong chiang songs while huffing & puffing and running back to the school...

Stood at the back of the crowd before the starting of the racel as it was too crowded in front. BAD MISTAKE. When the run started, it was very packed... I realised that i was doing a crab walk/jog zigzagging in the crowd, but in fact moving nowhere. So i got fed up & moved to outer lanes of the track, taking the longer route wastes energy, but all i want is to OVERTAKE those people who hog the inner lanes & yet are moving like snails. Kinda FRUSTRATED and yups certainly not a good start to the run.
Wasted so much of my energy jostling for precious SPACE along the pavements that i felt that my strength & stamina were draining away. As if i have a lot of them in the first place, i arent exactly a long distance runner. For 2.4 km napfa run, i usually run some distances then stop to walk walk (according to my friends that's what they call sprint, not run.. whichever la) and start jogging when i feel like it. Darn slacker me.. But this time it's 3.5 km, never in my life had i ran such a long distance before, somemore my name got put into the competitors team 4 of my house. Must run nah if not malu.. Hehe

BAD thing: stomach ache/cramp/pain in the middle of the run. Shhhheeeett! Forced myself to jog through the last stretch back to school, with a slightly hunched back i think. It hurts!

Finally managed to finish the run in one piece, inefficient student officials didnt give the certificate after i submitted my no. tag & position tag. Wait~~~ Didnt want to talk initially cuz energy level's pretty low then. Wait~~~ Cant wait any longer & asked the girl for my cert, she tried to get the attention of another girl with a stack of certs -but failed. =.o i snapped my fingers to catch that blur x3 girl's attention. Well it worked, if it didnt work, i think i might just snap at her. In bad mood la, tired+pain+super thirsty trying to get a drink ASAP.

Recovered after resting for awhile^^
Water is GREAT! haha

Sat in front of a gigantic speaker at the sports complex as there arent many seats around. So NOISY! so loud that i thought i might turn deaf soon. I asked Verena to help me lift the speaker & turn it in another direction. Wonderful! Then hui min asked 'How did yall manage to turn it off?' Lolx. We didnt turn it off, just shifted the direction in which the sound was being blasted.

Almost everyone popped party poppers provided in celebration of CNY, the whole place smelt of explosives huo3 yao4... Eeks! paper popped out clinging on to the hair & clothes.. yi1 pian4 lang2 ji2. OMG coloured remnants of the party poppers everywhere.. The sports complex looked like some disastrous aftermath of a mad & messy party.
Siamm before they want us to volunteer to clean up or something.
I know that's kinda bad.. but yeah everyone else's leaving too.
