Day 7 at PJC

05/02 - Hmm... can't really rmb what i did in the morning that day. However, went for the second ODAC trials in the afternoon after school. Of course, I was really looking forward to the trials and quite ready to give in my best for whatever they were going to have us do. Heard that the trials for that day would not be as fun as on Wednesday so I had my mind prepared for some tough physical training. However, what was in store was nothing like I expected.
Firstly, were told to do some simple activities like push ups, "invisible chair", " aeroplane" and crunches. I completed all successfully and without much trouble. I thought that was all but there were more. Then we were brought to another station where we had to hold up a conteen bench with our arms at 90 degrees for a certain period of time before a short break and then continuing with a longer time period. Like 30s, then 1min and then 2mins... After the activities before, I felt my muscles aching for this activity and my legs kept shaking. With some help from the seniors, I again managed to pass this round. We moved on to the running tracks after that for some running. After a few rounds, dun noe when, a teacher came over and made us do push ups whenever we were not together when we were running. This happened a couple of times until my arms were totally weak. After that we were to move on to the field where we were told to lie in cruches position and then in "Superman" position. We learnt that he was the Tic of ODAC. He then told us about how ODAC was not as fun as we thought, that the seniors climbed stairs as training and how they were constantly scolded by him... As 6.30 drew nearer, I decided to leave. ODAC was just not my idea of a CCA, what with the stress of JC life and ODAC instead of letting us releif that stress, adds on to it. Zzz... So then I turned to JY beside me and asked if he wanted to leave. He didn't give me a direct reponse though and so I just upped myself, got my bag and left. You Kang left as well.
Despite feeling weak and aches all over my body, I felt it was a good experience. It was an insight into how the Sports CCAs train during practices. As I was very warmed up from all the physical activities, I decided to walk all the way back to CCK Mrt station.
Later, John told me that what the Tic did was just for show only, that ODAC was quite fun and the Tic friendly. Hais... whatever it is, this still feels quite stressful for me. Going to consider joining Alchemist club though, since I got rejected by all the sports CCAs that I signed up for.
