yesterdae. at abt 11.04am. it already marks e end of me n tim's season. along da course of tis short period of 3 daes. many thoughts juz came into my mind. n tat on da final dae. winning suddenly din matter so much as it was before.. we went down believeing in we could do it. believeing tat we could beat HIM (u all noe who i am talking abt. i dun believe hes a GOD. hes juz another rower. maybe juz slightly more exp? more skill.) SO? they rowed with strength. n technique. in both ways we will definitely lose to. but we rowed wif our hearts believeing tat we could do it.. n i believe we did it. we beat ourselves. we did beat ourselves. :) right after we ended off. we came back to shore n tim alr said tat was da last race he is ever gonna row n tat hes going into adventure racing. heh.

let me share wif u all prob juz da jnrs tat doesnt noe. wad happen after tat.. during da race.. we couldnt cover a straight course so we zig zag alot. i really mean alot. n after tat we were sort of on e edge between my lane n MJ's lane. n our boats were veri close. luckily we din collide. yup. so we were gonna hit da BIG ROUND RED BALL. so we did a swerve in. yup. tat swerve made us lose alot of speed n i had to call fer the 8th hard 10 which wasnt in our race plan n it was energy tat we had to find somewhere above da 100%. it was not wad we were used to. anywae. after tat was last burst n it was qt well done. n i sort of blacked out at da end point. hmm. well. we went back. feeling happy? fer a moment tat all tat was over. n tat canoeing is history. we got back to shore. MJ was appealing tat we cut into their lane. n result in them taking backwash. i wld think tat da appeal din get through. n tat MJ rowers were pissed. i hope they wun hate AC fer da next few years. anywae lyk i said. they appealed n failed. so they were rather angry n sad. *DUH* *points biceps*. after tat da hc coach came to talk to us. wanting a rematch. REMATCH. remember wad tim said earlier? ok so we thought abt it. n da snrs oso gathered. yup yup. at that moment rowing agains was not ever in my mind. can u imagine doing da blardie long 1k race agains after thinking u haf done it yr last time n tat was da best u did it. n i was oso qt drained fer da dae. so we din agreed. btw. they wanted a rematch cos HC got stuck to a plastic bag which drag them across da finishing line. which they felt tat was a unfair race. me n tim believed tat theres some kind of luck involved oso. it was after tis tat kept me thinking.. then after sometime. da HC coach approached us agains. he said tat all other schools had agreed n onli if we agree it cannot be carried out. we rejected it after thinkin abt it agains. guess they r veri veri sad alr. ok. we rejected it cos of a few reasons. all da others schools can haf another shot at it y not? competition involves a bit of luck. plastic bags were juz suayness. n we thought abt wad will we do if we were stuck in da bag. (we wun complain abt it. we thought it through n tats how we felt at tat time). our bodies n mind were not conditioned at tat time alr. it was impossible to rerace on tat day. next as long as our concience is alrite. why bother to appease others?. yup. i tink its something tat i will remember fer a long long time.

da coins will fade. but da memories wun. it really wun. :) thank you all da snrs n jnrs of 2004. ESP SNRS n definitely JNRS too.

ted once told me.
Dont't aim at success -- the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must be ensued... as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself

its something tat i realised qt late. yesterday during da warmup lap fer me n tim. yup i tink is something tat everyone can work towards i its veri true. NO ONE IN KALLANG is GOD. they r juz another rower tat rows n even da greatest make mistakes. all da wae AC.

its been long time since i last blogged. all these seem to juz pass so quickly. it has been 2 yrs since i stepped into tis club tat changed my life. trainin so often n having no other social life. i suddenly felt so free n it felt strange how tings became lyk tat.. anywae wad happen during my course..

day1. heats. started. red bull almost killed us. hmm sugar crash in middle of race. lane 5. sanwiched wif RJ n NJ. started off wif da pack. we were all along da same row. then.. came 500m.. tapped. got sucked into rj backwash. managed to get out. n taking back our place. suddenly rj capped. fear. FEAR. fear. almost capped twice. made me feared calling fer hards. so we did rowing but no hards. so we ended off 3rd. lucky qualification.

day2. semis. raced well. lane 1. lane 2 was mjc. yup raced.. good race. came in 1st. qualified in finals.

day3. finals. rowed qt well. da best we could given our capabilities. :) yup. but we zig zag. n covered a veri long course. 1.2k? got 3rd place supposedly cutted into mjc lane 6. n hc got stuck in plastic bag.. mjc appealed but i tink failed.i tink they r gonna hate us fer da next few years. anywae as i was saeing. den da hc coach came to approach us hoping fer a rematch. cos it wasnt a fair match to them cos of da plastic bag. hmm all other school agreed. but we din. so it was qt sad fer them. cos i really couldnt row as well at tat given moment at that time. so sorry. went to dinner. marche. n went to esplanade played "games" yup n there...

here i am sitting in front of da comp thinkin abt loads of stuff.

its sometime how interesting.. i can laff abt training after doing so many sets.. when i feel lyk dying on da hockey d.. at da grass batch.. on da pavement.. hmm suddenly i can juz giggle to myself or start bursting into laughter.. haha.. how interesting is it tat in school sometimes.. we can laff abt it togeda.. or after trainin we can joke abt wad we juz did.. n havin da sense of satisfaction tat fills our hearts.. its really veri veri interesting how come we can laff abt tings tat are torturous.. anywae even when i do pe.. i dun mind running 2.4 wif my classmates.. n i run wif them sometimes.. n i tell them tat its fun.. n they said i was CRAZY* anywae.. i tink i lyk training.. it makes on lose memory fer a short period of time. juz doing sets.. n everything n not thinkin abt anything else.. n at that period of time u juz feel nothing.. nothing at all.. is juz lets go.. keep going.. cos da thought of letting yr teammates down when u drop leting go = cheating yr teammate.. hmm.. we were drilled these values right from da start.. did we put it into u? *da juniors* hmm.. we used to haf a diet all year round.. how interesting where pple *classmates* noe u haf diet n keep taking fried food n poking u.. hmm tats how interesting whenever u said nah.. no.. they will go.. u pple r mad.. doing lunch time everydae.. ? those pple r crazy!? nothing better to do.. but i tink deep in their hearts they r jealous n they respected us.. someone told me b4.. how we could do it everydae whitout fail? why? wad was keeping us going? i guess u pple shld tink abt it ya :) its really interesting? IS IT? LYK WAD?

doing pullups everydae. followed by inclines. doing all da crazy sets.. echoing lyk mad.. home training.. n recently having da CREED! it ALL WORTH IT.. DUH! *points bicep*

i joined canoeing fer fun? haha maybe i started out wrongly. cos i did join cos i tot it was fun.. n bill was telling me at da open house its tough.. but MANAGABLE.. i could still remember his expression at da time when he told me n shiwei.. den we signed up n wrote weiyuan name down on da list as well.. great.. den came first training.. which i started off.. dying.. hmm 50 pushups on da first trainin on da scorching hockey D.. ouch.. i couldnt hang properly.. i couldnt even do 10 pushups. great.. hmm den was crunches.. which was as bad.. then jumpingjacks.. unfit person.. heh.. does tis happen to u all when u juniors joined? every single junior tis year joined was fitter than me.. hmm *ponders*

anywae.. as i was saeing.. den we went fer a run.. lyk wad continues.. i couldnt keep up too.. great job ey.. cant do pushups cant hang cant do situps cant run cant do jumpingjacks.. i remembered tis HUGE fella (Eugene) was running beside me.. he was lyk lets go! lets go! lets go!.. "close up da gap" n "DO U WAN IT?" lyk screaming at me at da top of his voice.. n i was lyk thinkin in my heart.. would u find shuting da @%*&.. it was super duper irritating.. n noisy.. when i was tryna so hard to juz keep running.. hmm.. finally da run ended.. n we had water break great.. den was pullups.. 3x5 pullups.. cant do a single one.. cant do pushups cant hang cant do situps cant run cant do jumpingjacks cant do pullups.. n da list goes on..

hmm after tat training was all heads down all eyes close n tis fella tall n qt skinny (Gabriel) was in front asking.. who tinks todae training was tough? ok? too easy? i din even respond. i was juz dead tired..

after tat was wad intro tingy. all da seniors sae their names n class and wad not.. n i dun supposed i remembered any of it? after trainin tis skinny fella (JunWen) came n talk to me.. he spoke alot but i tink nothing really went in.. i was damn tired.. n juz lyk my brain was not working he juz kept going n going n going.. blah blah blah.. finally.. i went to bathe n ate n went home..

i slp right after i reached home.. next morning i realised i couldnt move my arm.. haha i really couldnt.. it was super duper pain.. it slowly became better in a period of abt 1 week+ hmm.. how many pple actually get da chance to fell tat in their entire life.. haha :) not many..

wad kept me going was prob them. :) which i stayed on.. n now i am haven died yet? haha n i believe i am alot fitter ey? hmm.. i joined canoeing out of fun? curiousity? cos gabriel siew changed so much? haha :) alrite.. tats abt wad i wanted to sae.. i dun really noe how u pple felt after da first trg.. anywae da past 1 yr + was great to me.. it was memories tat i will remember 4ever.. :)

tis club has changed me qt alot.. haha tats pple tat noe me b4 i joined haha.. anywae it great to be wif my bunch of teammates.. juniors i wonder how u pple r feeling now.. its 2 daes to comp.. n da seniors time is almost over.. how much haf u all achieved in da past 7 mths? was da time spend in da club worth it? could u haf done something better elsewhere? is tis all worth it? can u look into all yr teammates in da eyes. n tell them i haf no regrets being wif all of u?

juniors becoming seniors.. u all will feel how we felt in abt 5 mths time.. :) when da new batch of juniors come in :) enjoy yrself.. great year ahead :) IS IT?
