It determines whether I pass my NAPFA.
It determines whether I get a Bronze, Silver or Gold for my NAPFA.
Hell, it determines whether I can get the full 30 marks for my NAPFA.

That damn 2.4km run/walk.

Well, I'm aiming for the third statement I said about the 2.4. Well, it's easy. Practice makes perfect. That's how Banjamin (4G) got his 8.30 for the 2.4 this Monday. Question: HOW? I don't think everybody has the discipline to run laps everyday. I don't. I blog. Sitting down. While (maybe) somebody is getting him/herself prepared or suited for the run which takes on average a 14 minutes?

Oh, come on.

Now I know how those non-banders from/not from TK feel about our SYF Central Judging of Display Bands. We get ourselves tired for MONTHS, practicing, practicing, practicing, so that 8-minute display can be perfect. Truth: It wasn't. I screwed up. People screw up. Even Ming Wei screwed up at the final moment of the display, ruining his otherwise perfect 'show', although the screwup wasn't obvious. I don't think everybody can see his and my mistake at first glance, unless I tell them about it. But enough about this.

Practice makes perfect, so they say. But on the big day you screw up. So what's the point of practicing? I screwed my DipABRSM piano last year, failed horribly. I screwed up during the competition. I screwed my 2.4 by having a knee that aches terribly everytime it rains, a respiratory system clogged with phlegm, and a stomachache. It's so demoralising! Doesn't make me feel like practicing!

Yet, I still practice. Speedruns, piano, academics, band, three of them which i screwed over the past year, even with practice. There are somethings that have second chances even after the big day, but most don't. Point I'm getting to is this: Luck does play a part in our life. My luck is running out. For now. Gotta buy it somehow. Better not screw my NAPFA.

I got 11.23 for my 2.4. A 'B'.With my body in such a condition. I do hope I get an 'A' the next time round. Then I'll get a 30-point chance.

Bye for now........
