Relak Jack Johnson -- We lost..... & we won!

Yes, finalie no more bittterness & regrets this yr. Got a better team this yr & b4 e race 2dae, i was quite confident of getting top 5 , that is if we were all to perform to our optimum. We got 3rd & initially I made an ultra careless mistake when I saw the results.

"Wah we lost to e 2nd team by 0.05 secs!"

When Chang & co heard me, they stared @ me in disbelief. I didnt realise that my proclaimation had caused a stir of uneasiness in the 2nd team winners, who were juz seated beside our table. Then Daphne & Vanessa followed me to see e results again. Erm, they won us by a whooping 5 mins....... I realie wondered how & why I blurted it as "0.05secs!" Ngiap @ his "best" again. Lida & co said they felt paiseh becoz of mi, but i mean wats there to feel paiseh about, they (e 2nd team) shdnt feel jerked in e 1st place. They did win us wat, tats a fact.Hmmm.

Apart from that small technical mistake, we were still quite overwhelmed by our "victory", considering that e top 2 teams has been @ e helm for a few yrs running liao, so its kinda accomplishment to come within "ranking distance" to them. What sweet revenge it is for that 6th spot we got last yr, when I realie realie thought we deserved a top 5 position. Never mind, we got it this yr yah.

Last night couldnt realie sleep well, coz i was rather nervous. Even had a dream that we got top 3. Told Chang about it this morning & I dun noe if that spurred him a little or what. As usual, I had butterflies in my tummy again b4 e race, went toilet thrice, diarrhoea, sickening. Luckily it didnt affect my performance too much. Four participation in NVM so far, results is quite acceptable, 6th 4th 6th 3rd.

I hope that Relak Jack Johnson can retain e 3rd spot next yr, though we do wish to try to "scare" e 2nd team next yr by closing down on e difference in timing by " 0.05sec!"

Preapring for emerge Vertical Marathon in June. Gotta reduce my accumulating fats ya.
