pondering

I feel so elated that i made myself volunteer for the YOG. Though i was alittle upset that i was deployed to Catholic high for the gymnasticss training for the straight 8-3pm shirt for like 5days! ive the most hours than the rest. But ohwell. Finally i just got over it cuz being there is something i feel that i learnt alot from the athletes just by watching them train every single day. You can tell how much these players want to do well and win the competition. Some just think that they are good enuff but some just keep on practicing and practicing and practicing! like the china gymnas. She is the only one without a Coach while everyone else has at least 1. Russia has 2! China is the only country that just kept going without a coach. Very disiplined and very grateful when the coach pitpoint her. i think its very true that culture does make a difference.
People in SG would rather pursue and further their studies for more $$ den to pursue something that we all know Athletes in SG do not get as much privilege than other countries. And people in SG can afford to further their studies and the well-being is alot better. China are really hard-working due to their high populated country. Sometimes we cannot blame them for using cunning ways to earn $. sometimes it really forced them to go to that extend to do it. But still, we cannot pity them cuz we're gona be the ones to find ourselves some trouble.
Everyday i see the athletes train so hard, coaches kept pushing and pushing over their limits to help them achieve even higher and higher. To a large extend, strict teachers produce great students. Its tough being a coach, its tough being an athlete.
And i see those gymnas jumpin and spliting their legs etc, i have the urge to try it myself too. haha! Sometimes i do blame my parents for not pushing me hard enough. Cuz as kids, its rare to know what we really want. Only adults have to keep pushing them over their limit.
ohwell. Tmr last day for me! its so fast! i really dun wana go tho cuz i noe i will definitely miss those hard working athletes. Gee!
anw! JIAYOU TO ME! :D
