So it’s grades A B C D E respectively. I’m entirely satisfied. In fact, the only thing that would make me dissatisfied (or rather, throw a tantrum for a week) would be me having to retake my Napfa. Hence, passing is everything to me

Oh, and I got a D for my 2.4km run. For the trial run, I got an E, and passed it by like 20 seconds, so it’s an IMPROVEMENT. Wang Jin, who recorded my timing, seemed reluctant to tell me what my timing was. She probably thought that it was such a lousy timing that I would be emotionally affected and terribly demoralised. Haiz, up til now nobody gets the point: I WANT TO PASS. Be it an A or an E.

Poor Arina ran an extra round and failed ‘coz her recorder didn’t see her run her 4th round or something ): This system is way too unreliable!!!

I bet some people are thinking why I can’t run even though I’ve got long legs. And I’ll say this again and again – UNRELATED! Some people also wonder why I can’t even jump my HEIGHT for SBJ. And again, I say it’s unrelated.

And why is it I can do damn heavy weights at the gym and still can’t do well for Napfa? Because strength is different from stamina. I can do a 57kg leg press with a single leg, but can’t run my 2.4km well. Haha I can totally see the PE teachers looking at me confusingly, wondering why this girl who goes to the gym every day can’t do her PFT well.

I don’t think Napfa is a very good indicator of how fit we are anyway. Just ‘coz I’m somewhat inflexible and can’t stretch over my legs, it means I’m unfit? Just coz I can’t JUMP FAR means I’m unfit? Zzzzz.
