what a day. the adrenaline i had to experience was much more than the abseil of the 52m high cliff. oh well.

we had a sharing session with Jamaican olympic athletes earlier today. and it was great! really. There was, Asafa Powell, Veronica Campbell-Brown and 18 year old Dexter Lee. they looked real cool. so its like, once they came in cameras and lights were shoved to their faces. well i thought it was rather impolite to welcome a guest like that. first of all, the MCs were the ones who get to ask them questions first and then after that, its opened to the floor. There were like Sports School ppl, those from Republic Poly, PE teachers and of course, MEDIACORP.

so once it was opened to the floor, and after a few rounds of Q and A, i have no idea why but the MC came to me and just went, "so what about you? do you have any questions for Dexter?" and just put the mike in front of me. CAN ANYONE IMAGINE HOW I FELT AT THAT POINT OF TIME?! cameras was staring right onto my face, everyone was just waiting for me to reply! i froze, words just cant come out. i so knew it it was gonna happen before that. i just had this feeling. and yeah , my instinct was right. so the MC just walked away after getting a no reply. Really embarassing.

so i just had to redeem myself after what i have done. luckily, like maybe 5 minutes before the end of the session, one the MCs asked if anyone wanted to ask Dexter a question, and yeah I just HAD to raise up my hand. so yeah. he passed the mike to me, i stood up, froze a while while absorbing the higher altitude, and asked him. GAHH. I see flashes everywhere. I couldnt concentrate, my heart was beating real fast, I kinda mumbled through my words. what a stage fright. wasnt wasnt thinking at all. so i had repeat what i had to ask. AHH. hidayah hidayah. but thank goodness, he replied well. well, my question was, "with you being being a champion at such a young age, how do you cope with the fame and all?" yeah that was i was meaning to ask. he replied something like, "its good, i get the attention of more girls with that." something like that. and everyone laughed. i didnt quite listen to his reply coz my recovery from extreme nervousness wasnt that fast.

well i keep telling myself everyone's gonna forget abt it eventually. so after the session we had a tour around the centre and then lunch. thats when we took pictures! with the athletes! yay! this really was a good experience for me and i learnt a lot from them. and yes, it was a great sharing session.

i'll update this post with pictures of the athletes as soon as possible as my friend has yet to upload the pictures.

so yeah. thats about it. peace.

it was all worthwhile. (:
