I just realised that there are actually drastic differences in the PE programmes of RI and RJC.
RJC is based alot more on fitness, with the first few weeks of PE being based on almost entirely running; whereas in RI, we had modules for a particular sport in a particular term.
I heard good news that the modules in RJC are actually fun when they come in the future, so I'm hoping that the modules come sooner.
For now, PE periods are met with dread and cries of "OH SHIT ITS PE NOW!!11!eleven!" because of the NAPFA trials and running sessions. In RI, it was more like "YES ITS PE!!!" when the bell rings and happily rushing off from the boring and monotonous lessons. In other words, it was a lesson the people actually looked forward to, instead of a lesson which makes us all walk like old men later (especially when walking up/down stairs).
Speaking of NAPFA, today we did 3 out of the 6 stations, which were said to be the "killer" stations:
1) 2.4 km walk/run
I'm happy to announce that I have improved by a shitload thanks to Vincent's tactics and some personal determination to really chiong like a mad dog. Even when I was indeed chionging like a mad dog according to my personal standards, I could still hear Nic Yun who was pacing me from behind muttering a "Wa shit damn slow." He decided to overtake me in the 2nd lap :(
But of course I'm still very happy with my improvement :) 11.13 now! Yay!
2) Chinups
Just do 4 standard chinups and then drop. Nothing special here.
3) Standing Broad Jump
Deproved by 12 cm in this station, probably because of 2.4 km run, and probably because I forgot to apply some techniques like aiming far. Now it's at 229 cm which unfortunately missed the "C" grade by 1 cm. This is unacceptable, so I jumped again unofficially and hit 238 cm. Yay!
Of course the bottomline is that the modules better come quick so that the mood and attitude towards PE will change to "YAY ITS PE!!!" once again.
