ahh. finally smth for me to post about already.

recently there's some conflict between track and cross apparently -.-
started cause of some damned photo-taking.
this year, instead of taking it as "athletics", we took it separately as "track" and "cross".
and of course, when these kind of things happen, we can't say for sure who shld take the blame.

that day when we found out we were taking the cca photo separately, i had to admit i wasn't happy.
since idk when we have always taken a cca photo together, but why was this year so "special"?
reading some of the crossers' blog, i really think some stuff shouldn't be said.

according to valen's blog, she wrote "shorter distances, warm up shorter, maybe dun need do drills, dun have mr quek to nag at you all that shit. right?"
hello. isn't track about shorter distances?
or have you actually HEARD or SEEN track events that are longer than cross country events?
lawl and i'm damn curious to know which track training have you undergone that doesn't require you to do drills -.-

"Track can be fun. In fact track IS fun but sorry unfortunately, in RV, track is quite different. If you love track so much, you could have just asked for a transfer so just tell mr quek you want to go track and bring any sec1s who hates running long distances there. And then, you can slack all you want and pon cca also. Go on. BE MY GUEST."
oh you're such a sweet friend.
we're all from athletics, once a very bonded cca, but now it's split into two distinct ccas.
it's also precisely cause you're from CROSS and that's why you do not have the right to say bad stuff abt track.
What makes me so fucking sure RV trackers always SLACK and PON CCA huh.
Sure, there've been MANY who were and are not committed to track, these people are mainly the ones who slack and pon cca.
I cannot deny i have not slacked during training or indirectly pon a few, but so what? everybody loses motivation once in a while.
Don't tell me you have never bloody slacked once in your whole life -.-
At least pandian doesn't pull or dump ppl away as and when he likes right, unlike quek.
I've been through at least one of his pulling/dumping of ppl.
I was very sad when he pulled Valerie into cross, but we didn't have any say.
He dumped many here, KahKah, Kelly, Changming, Stephanie and now, the remaining guys in cross.
The girls were definitely very committed to cross initially, but because of stupid reasons like having injuries and studies etc. they were transferred over.
I don't really know the story about the guys, so i won't say much either.
I rmbed when i was in sec2, i fought for your entrance into track, as well as chongyuan's and daniel teo's.
I was so damn disappointed and angry that none of you got in.
Still, i didn't expect you to think of track as smth so ugly.

Actually, i kinda agree on your point abt track and cross not taking cca photos together.
As you've said, we have never been associated as athletics since a long time ago, so why should we suddenly be so close when taking photos?
In the first place, who was the one who broke track and cross up? QUEK.
We used to switch to each other's ccas after nationals a long time ago, until quek came in and broke the tradition. Quek again.
Quek repeatedly criticized track, but denied when we confronted him.
Who doesn't know he dislikes track?
Coming back to the point, even though we don't train together, i still think we should take photos together as a cca.
You can't deny you don't have any friends in track, and why is it weird that track and cross are taking photos tgt?
If you noticed, during the informal photo, we always break into our own groups, track with track, and cross with cross, maybe some mixed.
Is it really that difficult to take picture with some group you're not totally familiar with? Lawl.
Oh and, nobody ASKED you to defend track, so stop complaining and asking whether we deserve your defence -.-
You've been in track, Valen.
You've gone through many races, you know how it is like.
If track is so easy, then can you tell me why you've gotten a medal in cross but not one in track?

I think you should also wait until you taste how it feels like to have the sch closing down your cca before commenting like it's so easy.
You don't know how it fucking feels like to have so many damned people looking down on us, like uh, why is cross always so good then track so lousy?
It's hard enough already you know, let alone having our own people going against us too, instead of offering encouragement.

And so I've decided, from now till i leave Track, i am determined to track hard and show this bunch of crossers + Quek that ALL OF YOU ARE WRONG.
I also think we should be more strict during training, no more joking around.
This applies to everyone, including the guys who just transferred over, and of course, me.
Can't say i'm very happy with some of the guys' attendance, like Chester, Daniel and KianZhong.
Don't bloody slack just when you've been transferred.
And yes we can and will do it.

Hope cross and track will have a face-to-face meeting real soon.
Avoiding this conflict doesn't help.
