prepare for napfa!!

i was reading Sam's blog and i was, again, reminded of upcoming NAPFA test next semester after my SIP.
shit. how to prepare when we're having SIP.
work, alone is shart-ing.
to exercise before or after work is shart-er.
BUT, to not exercise at all is the shart-est.
SHART-ED.

ok i have a goal now: to be physically fit!
Here's the NAPFA scheme standard.

I'm looking at 3 points and above for each category.
I used to have serious problems with and ONLY with SIT UPS.
now i have to worry in almost every category. DAMN.

what's with studying in poly? leaving me in these fitness worries. grrr
i used to hate running 2.4km during PE lessons. (now i still hate 2.4km)
but i really loved PE lessons in Secondary School cos we learnt a lotta games.
touch rugby
badminton (the right way)
high jump (i liked it)
hockey (i fell down the stairs and couldn't play right from the first lesson)
frisbee
soft ball
yadah yadah...

now i wished poly has PE lessons like Primary and Secondary schools.
