My Disappearance-Cameron Highlands
Well....well....well.I was missing for one whole week.I never really told anyone...maybe a few.I think only one or two of them would have remembered.Anyway,I was off for a one week training stint in Cameron Highlands.I can't thank anyone more than my coach.She is a gift from God.Last year,I was constantly training myself in ruuning.Then,one day,I met a group of students traning in the stadium.So,thats how I started training with the coach that I have now.She is willing to accept me into her training group although I'm not from her school.In addition to that,she didn't leave me out when she took her whole athletics team to Cameron Highlands.It was a whole new experience.We were forced to bathe in cold water everyday regardless of the weather .Obviously,the weather was always cold.We had training sessions twice a day.We were given time to roam around during lunch and dinner.Well,thats basically how it was everyday.Well,I had a hard time there,like I always have.I have great friends and receive great hospitality from them although I'm from a differrent school,but I have to endure one thing like I always do.My friends were all chinese...except for one.I had mix around in a group of students who converse in very fluent chinese.Sometimes,they translate what they are saying for me.Sometimes,I have to ask or I'll just keep quiet.I'm already quite used to it.It doesn't really bother me because I'll always be daydreaming about other things.Apart from that,I had no other problems because I've stayed in a school hostel before for a week during my MSSS camp.The experince was amazing......because not many people get the opportunity to train there.Well,one of the most amazing things there was that I could see smoke coming out from my mouth in the mornings.Besides that,there was also smoke coming out of my body when we were resting immediately after our training.The loneliest moment was at night.My other friends would be playing cards.I don't share their passion for gambling.So at night,I would just sit outside the hostel and daydream.Many of the girls would tease me that I've broke up with a girlfriend.Well,I don't really have one to break up with.Before I go to sleep at night,I would just think of the "Angel" saying "Good night and sweet dreams" while I slowly drift away into my dreams...........................

My Ambition
When I was young,I always wanted to become an astronaut.It was my childhood dream.I was fascinated with the mysteries that were yet to unfold in space.I was so young,but I just knew that the space would be one of the best things to explore.I kept on telling everyone that I really wanted to become an astronaut.Well,the situation had changed since then.I was loosing interest in becoming an astronaut as I grew up.It just seemed impossible.I was out of ideas on what I would want to become in the future.I was scared that I would finish school without the smallest idea of what I wanted to become in the future.My future just seemed so blurry.Then,all of a sudden,I knew what I wanted to become in the future.I was chatting with one of my friends when suddenly,we were talking about ambitions.Well,even she had no idea of her future.Her words were so deepening that it inspired me to think of my future.Surprisingly,my ambition occurred to me in the middle of the night.I woke up form sleep....unable to sleep...thinking about those words....and then I decided.Surely,it had something to do with space.The idea had occurred to me for quite sometime.It was from a few books I've read recently.So...that night....I decided that I would further my studies in the field of astrophysics.It seems that my passion for space exploration had not wore off.I cannot thank anyone else other than that particular friend.If I actually become an astrophysicist one day,I'll reveal who that person actually was...........

Skipping
When I was young,I used to think skipping was a girls thing to do.My mum would call me to skip,but I'll just reply "Mum,skipping is for girls....not for boys".Well......now...the sutuation has changed.My athletics coach is forcing me to learn skipping.According to her,skipping is very important for an athlete.I never even bothered asking why.There must be something good....if not my coach wouldn't even insist on it.Then,I decided to learn.I borrowed one of my friend's skipping rope to learn when I'm at home.While looking at others doing it,it looked so simple.Just moving the rope with ur hands and jumping.When I tried it at home,it wasn't as simple as it looked.I was struggling to coordinate my jump with my rope swing.I tried very hard on the first day......well....a little too hard.The next day,I could not carry my arm properly.It was so painful....and it lasted for a few days.Only then did I realize that skipping isn't as easy as it looks.But,I'm not interested in giving up.I'm gonna try until I can at least skip 100 times or more without stopping.......

Unforgetable Day
Believe it or not,this is my first time going out to watch a movie with my friends.My good luck,it was a very emotional one.It was a sending off or a farewell party for a close friend of mine,Valdo Valentino.He is a Bidayuh but my friends and I do not treat him like a stranger.My day started of with training as usual.After that I rushed to AEON.Amazingly,we decided to watch 2012.What a movie.I can say it is one of the best movies I've ever watched.After the thrilling movie,we went for a meal at Pizza Hut.As usual,the girls were taking pictures of almost every interesting thing they could see.It was a sad,happy and also a very memorable day.I was feeling sad,and I'm sure the others did feel sad too.A lot of laughter.We knew,that we would not be having another moment like this with our close friend.Then,the time came.Everyone was going back....after taking their last pictures with Valdo.I personally felt like crying when I thought I might be hugging Valdo for one last time.We parted ways at Botanic Park.I know that it'll take some time before things start to move on as normal.Valdo...although we were not very close.....I still consider you as one of my best friends.Thanks for all that you have done to me.I'll never forget.Bye Valdo......
