the best overall haul...

the points breakdown for hwa chong as of today...
a div - 172
b div - 164
c div - 147

we have technically won the championship titles!!! its finally the fifth time that hwa chong garners the triple champ of a, b, c div title... the other years which we won it were in 88, 98, 99, 02... watching my nationals brings back lots of memories, seriously, its probably the "only" thing that i look forward every year... i remember mentioning before that my year starts in aug and ends in jul and i have been living by it for 6 years... it sounds like i have no life, but that is the extent of how much track and the team mean to me... time has gone, my prime has gone, memories will be memories... sweet and bitter memories will only be encapsulated by time... but it's definitely great to relive the moments of triumph and anguish...

anyway, here are some statistics and facts about hwa chong track...
- we have 15 records in total, with 1 from a div, 7 from b div and 7 from c div...
- 6 new records were re-written this year
- we have won a total of 72 overall championship titles out of a possible of 131 titles since 1968...
- divisional points... c div 237pts (2002) b div 198pts (2004) a div possible 190pts (2006)
- total divisional points... 533pts (2002)... will this year be better? 51 more points on final day will break the 2002 record...

well, it was nearly broken today, if he had continue jumping... i was so longing to see it being re-written... c div long jump all time distance... (if i didn't remember wrongly)
6.36m - 1999
6.27m - 1993
6.14m - 2006
6.11m - 1991

countdown...

the architect of life.

england is out of the world cup... i am sad, it was devastating watching the match last night... although i do agree that england isn't up to the mark, but i still feel that they deserve the semifinal spot... anw, maybe the argentine referee was just still being loserish about the falklands war... oh well, that was was fought 20 years ago!!! maybe the memories are still there... it was also 20 years ago where the hand of god tore england apart...

i'm feeling like i'm over my prime, just like beckham, who isn't what he was 8 years ago... i do agree that we are all in a transit and it's quite a scary transit where the plane is about to leave and we do not know what gate to depart by... will i have an evergreen "career"? will i find back the passion and energy again? sometimes is just scary to live knowing that you do not want to be in the real world, and convincing yourself that the matrix isn't the place to be in... but thankfully, there's god, who's the architect of my life, providing me the unexpected paths and these unknown paths stimulate some vitality into my life... maybe it is only through him, that we can have the reassurance that our lives are not wasted... cuz sometimes, it's really meaningless to spend 30 years of your life doing the same expected routine everyday... perhaps one day, there will come a situation whereby it's possible for everyone to move in and out of their vocation freely as and when they want... until the day comes, i still trust in my architect...
