Exams are over, holidays are here, and I am free to do many many things! Like train and run and jump and be happy.NOT.
Because I the biggest genius of the world twisted my ankle during speech day reherasal, in an air-conditioned hall somemore.
I AM CHAMPION, NO?
Rehearsal simply involved practicing how to go up on stage and shake hands and bow and all that. AND THEN I TWISTED MY ANKLE ): ): ):
Then when dad's colleagues saw me limping, they ask "You twisted it during training is it?" Then I secretly laugh at myself. SPRAIN DURING REHEARSAL WTH!
): Ice is officially my new best friend.
): ): ):

It was heartbreaking to see his pain ):
It's not easy being Liu Xiang, the pressure put on him was insane. It's so annoying to see remarks that people make, saying that he's "scared", "running away" or just "finding excuses".
"Online, China’s internet users were quickly dissecting the story and venting their frustrations. Some called the athlete Liu Paopao, or "Runner Liu", a reference to the nickname given to a teacher who ran from the Sichuan earthquake without stopping to save his students.
Others felt the withdrawal reflected one of the 36 strategies propounded in a classic Chinese text on the art of war: To leave is the best choice sometimes."
It's so annoying how people blame him for withdrawing while acting as if they know everything. They wouldn't know how painful his tendon was ): Pain was written all over his face, it was probably really too unbearable to even move. It really isn't worth putting his hurdling future at stake just for that single moment of glory.
Those idiotic morons who are calling Liu Xiang stupid names (like the extremely disgusting and mean one shown in the quote above) should just go knock their heads. If they think being a national hurdler, carrying 1.3 billion hopes and nursing injuries altogether at once is easy, they should jolly well go take his place on the international 110mH stage.
"Feng was keen to point out that Liu’s withdrawal was no soft option. "When the doctors were then giving him treatment," he said, "he was shivering due to the great pain. Let me repeat: Liu Xiang would never withdraw unless the pain was intolerable. He is an athlete of durability. He has never pulled out of a competition before."
He also stressed the hardships that his superstar had faced. "His psychological powers are great," he said. "He withstands the kind of pressure that no other athlete has."
So still a hero, of sorts."
Well said! (: Now we'll just have to keep praying for Liu Xiang's achilles tendon to heal, and that he won't be plagued by anymore injuries. I really hope he'll overcome this hurdle and show us his graceful technique on the track again.
LIU XIANG IS OUR HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CLE today was pure drama!So we were given a free block to finish up our class National Day constume for Shijia to parade tomorrow. So Fiona and I, being very bored, decided to help Livia with the merlion scales thing.
Then there was this piece of cloth painted red; it was supposed to be the cape or something for the costume. And it was a pretty important part of the costume somemore! But because it was so awfully smelly I decided to be very very smart and hang it on the the wall railing to sun it.
It was a very smart idea, cause a very nice wind came along and blew the precious red cloth away, where it finally landed and got stuck on the roof.
Then Livia freaked, Fiona freaked, I freaked and screamed around like a psycho. Then it started out with Shijia, Xurui, Yanyu, Livia, Fiona and me holding a broom and a dustpan upside down, desperately trying to poke the stupid thing to make it slide down the roof. And I ran to the first floor to prepare to catch the cloth!
So I was happily looking up, watching them trying to reach and push the cloth down from the roof (on the 3rd floor). Then suddenly, there was a very loud AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
AND THE BROOM/DUSTPAN CAME FLYING/CRASHING DOWN FROM THE 3RD FLOOR HAHAHAHAHA.
Leia, who happened to be standing at a corner watching me and them screaming at each other about the cloth was so freaked out hahaha.
So I grabbed the broom and dustpan and ran back to the third floor, then ran down again to prepare to catch the cloth. By then the entire class had heard about the ridiculousness of it all and came out to watch and help to prod the damn thing which refused to get off the roof! 405 was being kaypo also haha.
So after our tall heroine Rachel managed to fling it off the roof after goodness knows how long, we all screamed in joy as we watched it slide off the third floor roof...
Only to find the cloth stuck on the second floor roof.
I will never ever hang anything out on the railing for drying/sunning again.
