The school's cross country came and went yesterday morning... as an obese boy in the past in secondary school and junior college, I would favour being on medical excuse or probably walking and enjoying the scenery along the way... quite amazing that I was actually looking forward to running these days! Haha... it wasn't a good run though - I think I over exerted and over estimated myself for the first half of the journey... that resulted in a rather dreadful and trudging second half. Finished the route nonetheless... and was rather surprised to take the fifth position in the staff race when I did remember seeing so many others in front of me! Nonetheless, nonetheless. More weight loss to come this year... haha.

I thought I could have a quiet afternoon by myself... something cropped up which required my attention. Already started sneezing soon after the run (don't know why?!?!), but the afternoon's event kind of aggravated it. And for the first time in a long while, I got angry with someone and actually raised my voice over the phone a number of times... a very rare occurrence indeed... but I did. I just couldn't understand how someone can think so illogically and not spare a thought for other people's efforts and feelings. Thankfully, what was needed to be done was done that afternoon.

Took some supplements for the impending flu but it didn't really seem to be helping... I've taken another dosage as of now and also downed two tablets of paracetemol. No intention of seeing the doctor for now... so hopefully things will get better today! I should eat an apple today! Haha...

We had a mini Chinese New Year Yusheng tossing celebration with my two levels of boarders yesterday night after their study sessions. Glad that most of them were able to make it. But yeah... I don't really know how to put it. Even though their numbers make up a class, they really don't have much opportunities (and reasons for the matter) to really interact with one another, especially so across the different academic levels (we have sec 3s, sec 4s and JC1s together). So now I'm still struggling whether to put seeing them bonding together more as an expectation and target, or simply let nature takes its course... it's funny, but somehow I know that I would be setting myself up for disappointments along the way if I choose the earlier. Or perhaps miracles would happen and things happen for them to have to get together somehow? Sigh... anyone has any take on this? And the interesting thing is some other floors don't seem to have that issue at all...
