:: Track Nationals 4x100m Relays (Semi-finals) ::
My running position was swapped with the first runner at the last minute...
Didn't have much time to get used to the positioning...
As such, I reached Zong Yao before he managed to accelerate and had to push him a little or run smack into him...
David also caught up with Adrian extremely fast... (Kaung Myat got injured and Adrian took over him.)
Wasted precious time at the two places...
Luckily, we still got 52.40s.
Finished 6th out of seven teams in the heats... We got 20th out of 24 teams in the event though...
Didn't get into the finals sadly...

:: Track Nationals 100m Individuals (Heats) ::
My starting got completely screwed...
Jumped like a few metres before reaching ground and starting to run...
Ah well... At least I managed to finish 4th out of eight people in my heat, and was 63rd out of 101 runners in the event.
My timing sucks though... 13.53s...
Can't get into semi-finals...
My best was 12.4s or something like that...

:: Biology Terrarium Project ::
After confirming that we would not be getting our pizzas today, Adrian and I had our second round of lunch before going over to Clementi Woods to complete the ecosystem project and the terrarium project. We brought along plastic spades, forks, lots of containers, and of course, the terrarium itself.
We managed to catch a grasshopper, three spiders, four millipedes and quite a lot of earthworms. After finding a few rotting branches with bracket fungi growing on them, we broke it into two segments and put them into the tank. We also got a lot of ground plants like grass and stuff and planted them into the terrarium.
As we knew that the spiders and grasshoppers would find ways to get out of terrarium, we decided to seal up the holes in the cover with scotch tape. Now we are hoping that they would not be stuck on the scotch tape when they climb and jump up to the cover.
During the five hours or so that we were there, I got bitten by mozzies three times. one was on my leg, (didn't bother to take photos of it), one was on my freaking EAR and one was on my elbow. Darned irrating. I got bitten only once in four hours when I was at a sandy area trying to break up the soil in the terrarium, and got bitten twice in a row in five minutes when we were trying to find more earthworms to be added into the terrarium.
Here is a photo of the mozzy bite on my ear (the most irrating one).
