Gonna make this fast, it's nearly 10.30pm and I have a competition tmr...
Firstly, about BU Day on Friday.
Jeans have been around for a long, long time...it's not entirely correct to say that jeans are not retro, because bellbottomed jeans are. I'm afraid I don't have bell bottoms though, so I just wore my green cinched waist off-the-shoulder top with the words 'LOVE' in yellow-polka dotted red and a wide studded belt with the widest legged jeans I could find in my closet...actually, it wasn't the widest legged pair of paints that I had, but the other one was more 3/4s than long jeans :P Thought I looked quite okay, cuz Mum said actually dressing then was quite similar to today's, just that bright striking colours and patterns were in and black was out. Toned down pastels do NOT look retro...well, there was 3/4 ppl in our class in school uniform (:P), a few of the remaining 1/4 decided to play safe in the ever classic normal t-shirt and jeans (nothing wrong, t-shirt and jeans will always be in fashion.), and the rest were more like retro accents, with short skirts (though not in the bright colours/psychedelic patterns that were in then)...type of clothes correct, colours all wrong... except for Cheryl Sim's psychedelic patterns shirt though! whoa XD I honestly feel that she was the most in-theme person in the class.
My original idea was to come to school in the 1960s/70s biker girl look, with really straight hair, black clothes and tight miniskirt, and jacket (Didn't have a black leather jacket so would have to make do with a denim one instead), and bandanna. But it didn't look too mainstream so....:( If makeup was allowed...wow, I could go crazy with smokey eyes and white lipstick LOL provided I dun wear glasses.
I used to be really crazy about the 70s era :) That was in primary school, and I researched almost every single thing about it, most of all the fashions.
Let's not talk about that. 50m back heats tomorrow, and mine's the 2nd heat of the 2nd event of the 2nd session! I'll be content with a timing below 49s...fat hope. I'll do my best, but Mrs B Tan will still be disappointed *sigh*. I really feel bad about it, I just don't have the will or passion to really go out there anymore, because i know there are so many others much faster than me, and It's nearly impossible to catch up. So I'm like, why am I even trying anyway? When u wear yourself out trying ur best and there's only disappointment in the end...
200m freestyle on thursday. Do I even have the stamina? I haven't exactly been training for this event...after all, even during normnal trainings we do short distance sprints, rarely long distance. We did do 200m free once during training today, and to see all my friends overtaking me, so far ahead, when I'm the one competing in it during the Nats...I got tired after 100m. Tried not to slacken and slow my arms down, and to catch up, but they were so far ahead. I really regret actually volunteering to take 200free...wish I'd pressed on and insisted on changing to 100 instead, but it's too late. I was wishing I'd fall seriously ill with a vomiting fit that day...thought if getting myself DQed, but a DQ would be a disgrace to the school and the team, and i can't be so selfish...I guess I just have to go ahead and make myself do it.
Wish me luck.
