| Not all were present but still an awesome night though :) |

| The first outing and definitely many more to come :D |
Next up will be the gym crew. It started off with the use of my dip belt in the gym for weighted dips/pullups. As weighted calisthenics is an uncommon methodology for weight training in Singapore, it got them curious with my style of training. The next thing I know, they were mirin and we become a source of motivation for one another in the gym. Though my school gym does not really deserve to be called a gym for its lack of a squat/power rack and having only one olympic bar, it's still my sanctuary where I feel protected and free from the adversities of reality. We discovered that plates holder on the smith machine can be used as a rack for squatting so that makes up for the lack of a squat/power rack. Furthermore, I can do my weighted calisthenics freely (literally and figuratively) unlike in ClubFitt gyms. May we continue to strive for progress, provide motivation and support for one another. We're all gonna make it brah.
On another note, school has been manageable thus far. I'm pretty sure Term 1 is not an accurate representation of J2. Wait till preparation for Mid Years, which runs simultaneously with A divs, kick in on full speed in Term 2 then hell begins and it only gets worse until the end of A levels. Shall just be consistent in my homework and reading ahead of lectures for now. CCA has been shit though. No choice but have to deal with the 7-9 training time bullshit. I dislike the coach's gameplay he enforces us to implement. The one used by my old coach makes more sense practically and suits more to our rather short training stint of a year for most of them. Once again, not like I have a choice and I just have to suck it up and respect his style. It's really different now without the J3s, without my old coach and with a new coach and teachers taking charge of floorball. Not surprised too that the girls team seem to show no interest in bonding with us unlike the previous batch haha. We've had two friendlies this year and we lost in both matches. The prospect of a single win in our season is rather dull now. Not even joking. My motivation for training and season has reached an all time low. I really think I'm better off without this CCA for this year. It has given me so much to be grateful for last year but it's all completely different now and it's my source of misery in school thus far. Ok end of rant.
All in all, I will definitely miss attending school someday once I've graduated. It's my third year in CJ yet it feels as though it's still insufficient (HAHA what am I saying). It's also my 7th year taking 985 to school and using the CJ bus stop. Can't believe that CJ is my second home now. I recall a time in sec4 when a team of CJ teachers and students gave a talk in school to promote CJ. I've always wanted to join AC and only saw CJ as a backup plan. I even tweeted " Noooo I don't want to go to CJ." on the very same day. Yea you got that right, I didn't do as well for O's and CJ was a clear choice for me then. What not, I even screwed up Promos in J1 and now I am in my third year here. Thankful for everything. Truly God knows what's best for me (though I still think that it's not the ideal school for me to get to know Malay/Muslim girls HAHA). Anyway as a result of that, I find myself falling for Chinese girls and that really sucks. It's happening this year again. Halp. I won't let history repeat itself and just do nothing. Once bitten, twice shy. May my last schooling year be an eventful one no matter how taxing it gets. Someday we'll forget 90% of the stuff we've learnt in school and will only be left with the people and memories for us to reminisce. May I cherish the people who make a difference to me in school and treasure the good times and bad times in 2014.
God bless.
