I am very happy and glad to know we are in the final for the 4 by 50m freestyle relay, after striving so much.....A BIG THANK YOU TO ARVIND, SHAWN AND KEVIN. I am so glad to have them as my teammates although it's not really a CCA in MJC. So this is how the breakdown of my timing in freestyle for the past 2 years
Entered TJC for the first 3 months
JAN:40s (slower than my breastroke timing)
FEB:37s
MAR:34s
Well i was posted to MJC after JAE, and sadly my swimming journey had a setback.
JULY:40s
So i did not train since there isn't any CCA called Swimming in MJC. Sadly, kevin and I took part for the 45th Swimming Championship with no relay team. We are not really that well-known back then. So yup.
2005
It was god blessing that i found Shawn, an elite swimmer,who came from ACE Swimming Club. I was really very happy to know that he is still keen in swimming. We had Life-saving team in 2005 (Newly formed). It was great, as this marks a new era of CCA in MJC. The following 3moths, i was even happier to find Arvind, a swimmer who intially declined to take part in school nats, he agreed in the end after i coaxed him and well explained to him. THANK YOU ARVIND ONCE AGAIN!!!!! So this is how MJC swimming team formed......
Arvind
Shawn
Wei Ren(Me)
Kevin
So we began to start our training back in early June, i had to sjip some training because of NCC, but i did made an effort to go train, that was great.So we trained in CSC, and Bedok Swimming Complex. Well, i guess all of us really want to get into the final. Sadly, Miss Choy did not submit out medley relay entries due to some "reasons". So we need to depend on shawn Individual event and the free relay.
Guess our training did helped alot. Kevin time improved from 33s to31 plus....Arvind improved from 34 to31 plus. Shawb as usual was at his peak.low 30s high 20s.....for me well i guess a huge drastic changes.
LET'S SEE
the first trial we took for my 50 m free
46s
after training at bedok pool and chinese swimming club
36s
when i swam in the heats,
it was 33.87s
great improvement though!!!!!!!
I remembered clearly our timing was 2:17.00 intially
then it went down to 2:13.00
Well we were quite afraid that we will not get into thefianl, due to the time that we had.
PLUS looking at the time for the first heats, i guess kevin and me were pretty devastated to see YJC had a time 2:06.88. The previous time we clocked was 2:13.00
But when we swam in Heat 2 we got 2:05.65
that was like way faster than our trials
I am very happy, i shoved my time from 46s to 33s this year wow!!!!!!
ALL THE BEST IN THE FINAL
NCC CAMP FEAST PHASE 3Jennifer called me on tuesday, asking me to be the emcee for the day. I was shocked and caught unprepared, but i went to do some research and stuff to try to entertain the cadets. Afterall, it's not the first time i did camp feast campfire night. This year Camp feast was so much better than last year. Well i guess because of the humors and the fun they had. I heard from many CLTS that the cadets enjoyed the campfire night and said i did a great job. WOW!i was amazed actually. But i did enjoy myself.
TO ALL PCS, APCS, S1 AND S4 you guys did a great job. Jennifer i think you did a great. JIAYOU, and don't you dare leave ncc so early....HAHA....just kidding....you are great, a senior i always look up upon to, as thing always turn up so well when you are the oic, just like last year camp feast phase 3.
BTW, my mid-yr grades are dreadful will talk abt it soon.Well luckily not as bad as last year mid-year!!!!
