How cute...
And thats a picture of me, a pretty lady ( home econs teacher ) and mitch.
Just like old times eh...

late entry


The picture on top shows 2 ex leaders standing in front of a group of kids who aspire to be like them. haha. Its basically me and mitch in front of young leaders. We had a camp to put people in tough situations with tough conditions to show their colours and after all that only a few will survive and qualify to lead their peers in school.

Ex leaders and helpers for the camp. We may look retarded but it comes down to doing it, we do it with pride and creativity.
Okay, thats just retarded.
And lastly, that's the retarded owner of this blog who is slightly more retarded than the rest.
Thank you

Free day

Ok, today is christmas day. For some its the time to be with their families but for me its a whole day out. I shall start the day by training abit followed by a healthy lunch (not). After lunch, im free to roam till night. So i shall find myself people to go out with and think of the things i ought to do today. Hopefully people would stay at home which means that places such as town will be relatively less crowded. I think I'll go watch "I AM LEGEND" followed by some shopping. If it just so happens that no one wants to go out with me today, then it will be training in the morning, training in the afternoon and training at night. WOOHOOO!!! I think. Yesterday, after spending the whole morning rotting at home, i spent my afternoon on a nice long run followed by some simple exercises and some not-so-simple exercises. I want to row!!! Im looking forward to training. At the last training, i died. I was so slow that i didnt feel like rowing anymore. Could it be fatigue from all that sprinting we had since promos? Or is it simply because i'm not taking care of myself properly. Whatever it is, i need to get rid of it as it's hindering me from improving. I'm already so slow as i am. I cant afford to slow down anymore. For what it's worth, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I believe i can,
I believe i will,
I believe i know my dreams are real

Defeated

So now you may ask how we faired at penang? Well, we won gold for 20 crew men U-18, 10 crew open men, 20 crew mix and 20 crew woman. We lost men open 20 crew. And the difference between the our men 20 crew timing and the 20 crew mixed timing is a mere 2 seconds. If you ask if I'm satisfied with the results, I'd say yes. But somehow, a few people thinks otherwise. Well, considering how weak of a team we are now, I'd say we did ok. But no, some people had to say that we lost terribly which really pisses me off. I mean, we rowed for at least 2-3 races back to back. What do you expect, we humans get exhausted too. And today, to explain why we lost, people had to go blame each other and pointing out each other's weakness. Everyone have their own weaknesses and strengths. Why can't we accept that? If its about a team which do not focus on winning but on the right attitude and character, why do we bother if we win or lose. All that matters is that we give our best in a race, be it a K1 or a dragonboat. Its stupid. We're acting like sad kids who fights with their friends over something. Does it have to be like this after every lost? Call me a superstar but personally i want to improve to win something by myself. So, when it comes to team events, i will give my best but the results will mean nothing to me. When i race, i give everything i have. Its basic respect to your opponents. Holding back would simply means making fun of my opponents which is something i don't do. I also don't understand why we have to be so disappointed at our lost? Why can't we just accept the fact that we lost and look forward to train harder with an open mind? So what if there are teams better than us? If we were to win everything, then, there wouldn't be a point in competing would it? If you say that we lose because we are a team of selfish superstars, then i can say that the team you had are considered selfish too since the juniors you had turned out that way. It simply shows how concern you were of the well being of the team. You're pretty much selfish yourself. Where were you when the team had our problems? Did you even bother to ask about the situation of the team? As far as im concern, you have no right to scold anyone. And please stop using talent as an excuse for being slower than us. I'm sick of it. The reason NJ took me is so that i can contribute to the team by bringing back some medals and doing the school proud. And when i came in, i said that i'd do my best to improve and not be a burden to this team. So now, im working hard to pull my own weight and you're blaming me for being selfish?
I dont know what you want.

Off to penang

Tonight, im going to be on my way to penang for a dragonboat race with the njc canoeing team. Taking a coach there which would most probably be about 10~12 hours. Its gonna be a long ride. Well, time to go. Don't miss me cause I'll be back soon. haha. Hopefully by going for this race, we can convince people who thinks that dragonboating is a dangerous sport to think otherwise. Some teams from singapore have already pulled out in light of the recent cambodia freak accident.
got to go now.
bye~
