Once again, here comes the annual NAPFA test. Before that, let me begin by a meaningful sentence/quote "When you are thirsty, plain water just suddenly becomes so nice"
NAPFA! First station is sadly a sit-up station, which aims at weakening your stomach muscles... It's one of my feared stations... and the bad thing about this is that Situp seem easy to the majority, but i just simply couldn't manage it well enough. Nevertheless, I braved through it with a C.
The next station is one of the well-known killer station. It goes by the name of STANDING BROAD JUMP. Its a station that is just so unfair. The females can jump a distance that secure them an A, but if u are a guy and u jump that same distance or abit more, u fail... Ok anyways, after getting seriously weakened by the previous situp, I only managed a 222cm, which is a D.
Then came the sit and reach, which i deproved for some unknown reason... normally I can get an A, I only managed a B today.
Next, the most worrying station for me, which is probably the determining factor or limiting factor in my cause for a silver in NAPFA... the pull-ups. I normally can only manage a 3.. but somehow NAPFA is gonna make things difficult for me.. and requires a freaking 4 pullups for a D grade... So I just had to bear with it... When I first jumped up to the bar, I got a weird feeling going through me that I can't do 4... my hands feel weak and powerless (literally). Nevertheless, I pulled myself up.. 1st pullup. down and up, down and up. 3 pullups. It feels weird cause i was doing at a faster pace in order to conserve strength for the 4th one.. and it proved useful, when i find myself managing to go up the 4th time, chin above the bar. "4" said Mr Chua, and that was definitely a very reassuring four to me. I decided to try to do more in case i do not have enough points for silver.. And I went up for the 5th time, but my chin just could not go above the bar... my hands do not have any more strength to lift me up further... The bar was just at my nose level and thats it. I dropped down. D.
Went down the stairs for shuttle run. This station is semi-scary. Sometimes I fail, sometimes i ace... fluctuations are plenty. I got the same examiner as last year for shuttle run, Mr. Tay. He was the examiner that enabled me to clock 9.9 seconds last year... So, he said "go". I sprinted forward and bent down to grab the bean bag. It somehow feels weird, I have a strange feeling that i was going too slowly.. but i didnt care so much in the midst of the run, and headed back to put the bean bag.. and headed for my 2nd bean bag. I decided to go down to reach for the beanbag at a more accurate time this time and turned after grabbing it. I felt as if I was too slow in the turn.. I was getting real worried this time... Nonetheless, I still sprinted the last stretch, thinking I was too slow... After the run, I got a depressed expression... I thought Mr. Tay would ask me to run again as there are 2 tries in shuttle run. To my surprise, he just wrote down the score and gave it to me. Just when I wanted to ask him if i could do a 2nd try, I looked at my score and saw "10.0" which was already an A grade -.- So much for my worries... pointless.
After all tiresome stations come the station that requires alot and alot and alot and alot of mental strength... To visualise this, the "Alot" will repeat itself until the cows come home.
So we ran. 1st round was relatively ok. 2nd round was beginning to be mental power draining 3rd round requires more perseverance... 4th round renders me half-dead 5th round makes me ask when is this ever gonna end. 6th round require pure mental strength, determination and perseverance (all combined in a package! However, the parts are sold separately.)
I finished with a C, timing 11 mins 32 seconds.
Binghui was complaining about his timing of 10 mins 32 secs.. cause the criteria for an A grade is 10 mins 20 secs... and that is the only station that deterred him from a perfect score in NAPFA. He wanted to get the award where students achieve perfect scores for J1 and J2 years. So he wants to retake.. btw, he has 29 points out of a maximum of 30 already...
Yian's case was sad too. His timing was 12 mins 1 sec, where the C grade requires 12 mins... so he was slower by that 1 second... which he could easily have gotten IF he started on the starting line exactly... When we were starting the run, there were alot of people infront ... so that should make up for his 1 second loss... and btw, he wants to retake too.
My classmate is complaining about me only mentioning the names of binghui, matthew, yian, etc in my blog , so for this chapter, I shall grant a special guest appearance to Jac. Ok, thank you very much.
Oh, my friend was suggesting that under the NS form, under the column of medical conditions, we should fill in "Allergic to army" So it would look like this: Medical conditions: Allergic to army
I forgot to mention, during chem lecture today, I was listening to the lecture. However, the contents were already taught during Bio, so there was no actual need to pay attention but I still did.. in order to figure out the diff btw the answers i should give in bio and chem.. But, binghui complained by saying "nic, can u stop listening?" I replied "Yes, I can stop listening to u."
