Forgot that there's NAPFA today... Got quite a shock when i suddenly realized this morning. At first i thought we were going to do 2.4km, then it was announced we were doing the 5 stations first. *phew* Then i realized i was still 13 years and 343 days old. yay i'm stil 13!

After warm-up, our class was divided into 3 groups of 10 according to reg. no. then we proceeded to the basketball court.

First station: Standing Broad Jump. [Arghz]
I aimed for C, though i can't even jump past 190cm. My turn came and i jumped. 186cm. Arghz. Tried again. *jumped* 192cm!!! wow first time i broke the 190cm mark :D Daryl was like damn proded lorz... he jumped out of the last marking on the mat. The teacher insisted in measuring the exact distance [which i only just realized he wanted to see if he had broken the school record]. WOW.
Grade: C

Second station: Sit-and-reach.
With a C at hand, i decided to get a little ambitious and also aim for C in this station [at least 31cm]. Though i'm VERY unflexible. Can't even reach my foot without bending my knees. First try: 25cm. I panicked. Second try: 34cm. yay. *goes to next station*
Grade: C

Third station: Inclined pull ups.
Quite confident after seeing most of my classmate getting exactly 30 pull ups. My turn. Then disaster seemed to have struck when i suddenly got a little tired at 12, but fellow classmates keep shouting the next number. So i ended at 25 [or so... forgot actual score]. Only one try.
Grade: B

Fourth station: 4*10m shuttle run.
So far, i got a B and 2 Cs, so i decided to aim for at least a C. my turn came and i just ran. 10.7s. Second try: 10.6s. yay improve by 0.1s...
Grade: B

Fifth [last for the day] station: Sit-ups.
With 2 Bs and 2Cs, i decided to go all out and try an A. [Looking back, i think i'm TOO ambitious liaoz.] 43 situps to get that grade. Thanks David for keeping my leg VERY steady! :D However, i got 40 sit ups. Not bad, a B is better than anything else [except, perhaps, an A :p]
Grade: B

So i went back to my class, satisfied with my 3Bs and 2Cs. And i found out we were 15 minutes late for English/Lit lesson. How nice. And we would be running 2.4km next Tuesday. Hope i won't screw up and spoil my current score.

Sub-Total: 3 Bs, 2 Cs.

By the way, if anyone knows how to put back the submit button in my shoutbox, do IM me. Thanx. And that's me, woonie, signing off.
