1323hrs..
finals yesterday had been a day of mixed emotions.
tears of disappointment and joy.
far too many to be named.
this is not going to be a "thank you" entry since half the people i am grateful to prob doesnt read my blog.i will leave that for the "speech" in a few week's time.
this Nationals i saw the caring and supportive side of everyone on the team. i prob received more handshakes, pats on the back, "all the best"s, hugs and the biggest group hug in the past three days than i ever would in my entire life.
i can hardly say this but for once i actually have to totally agree with tim that we were going to race for cher and that the senior team had made an impact on the whole team. disgusting as he may be (MAYBE not anymore), he proved to me that there is also a nicer side to him. same goes to the other J2 guys, for all the reassurance and support.maybe i do love them.haha
and of course LIX!*poke* we are practically like T1 partners.love her for all the times she was there when i get put down by cher, and all the other funnier times."hur hur" i do believe in armpit hormones now. =)
that group hug i got from the girls team after my last race yesterday.maybe it was not just the girls.i dont remember, i couldnt see clearly either.i only remembered being surrounded tightly by a group of people. im sorry if i gave anybody a shock.
i even got a hug from cher yesterday. i wouldnt have gone so far if not for him.i really cant thank him enough. being able to get his recognition after two years means a whole lot to me.
oh man..i totally love the team.
in less than 7 minutes, canoeing had became part of my history.sigh.
the season is over, and its most prob the last season for me. no more trainings.no more..
although i've been expecting it, it still came as a shock to me. its just too fast.
but to those who do visit my blog, thank you, truly, for the support, "good luck's", "all the way's" and "god speed's" in these three days.

azrena said the funniest line in the MacRitchie toilet today..
az: the lizards here are damn healthy
me: how u know?
az: they are damn fat la.
haha. i just dun see the link. fat=unhealthy (generally) funny.
and i counted, there were 7 of them.fat ones. unsure of their health though.
after today's trg, i have only one thing to say about RJC canoeist, RUDE!
mindless people with no sense of control over their boats and allowing them to crash into every single thing in front of them.dumb.
and its always the little things that count the most.
like that "chill out"(quoted) session we had today outside my class. and i have smthing for u foo. its below. the nose! haha yes tere! MR CHARMING! yes im sure charming is the correct word.
the sticker on top of my jelly today.
and that lix is always a tad mad after trg, which makes everything seems hilarious esp aft trg.
coach actually helped me adjust my paddle grip. i totally appreciated it.
that little comment from the 4-90.
the ipod played my fav song when i switched it on after trg.
and that talk on MSN tonight. somehow it just meant alot.
the nose!
and may i add that this picture of the guys are here not because i love them.
ew.
1829hrs..
I saw many retired people at MacRitchie today. What made me conclude that they had retired was that nobody would leisurely be having a conversation at MacRitchie at 8 in the morning. I want to retire too. And also the fact that those were old people.
exams start on Friday.
coach just gave us the exact date of our races today:20th, which technically leaves us less than a month of training till then.OMG!
I just checked: 6.38, am I even on par.
0008hrs..
i dunno why im still standing here when everybody seems to be ahead and gone.
like kallang.
its a happy place
it makes me happy
the thought of kallang makes me happy
kallang is a good place.
i like kallang.
2258hrs..
so common tests are over..hmm..now thats a step closer to like what, the next mock test/mid yrs/more tests.ok.
anyway, whoever u are. so the seniors almost won the championship a few years ago..and?whats your point?
0101hrs..
today(or rather yesterday) we had the last trg of the year.ha so much for tt considering today is new years eve alr. i think we canoeist are extensively exposed to polluted water. which i think, does detriment to our health.more specifically, mental health.
polluted water+Testosterones=________
1) today, during one of the 16km of water trg, i was going down from the 1000m mark to the pontoon. i thought the water was perfect for sprinting cos there was glide and so i put in more strength when i was going down. halfway at around the 500m, [i shall not name names] caught up w me. obviously he was trying to overtake me and so was i. ok so i thought, u put in your effort i'll put in mine, even though i know somehow he would overtake me.
BUT, instead of tt, he actually used the underhand method of distracting me from my counts, by trying to start a convo w me, in e middle of a lap.
tsk tsk tsk. what a disappointment.
sure he overtook me.but that would had happened all the same if he just tried a bit harder.given his strength and experience, that was totally uncalled for.
2) there is a more polite way of asking somebody to move away other than using " SIAM!".
3) the cupboard was infested with ants, thanks to some very smart ass who left a gum on the life jackets. thus, rachel senior put all our shoes on top of the cupboard. when we were done with trg, jennifer asked to hep her bring her shoes down. so i did and at e same time did e same to e rest of the shoes. owners of the first few pairs of shoes were there, so i passed it to them. until this last shoe before mine, i had no idea whose it was so i just dropped it.
and waoh! do u have to SHOUT at me for dropping your precious shoes? am i suppose to know those are YOUR shoes? or am i suppose to climb down, put them nicely in front of you then climb back up to get the remainding shoes.
hello? use your brains.
4) as us girls could have possibly got affected by the polluted water like e guys do. considering e girls attend trgs on a more regular basis than e other half of e team. so we would be grateful that e other half of the team would help us keep e stuff (eg. banner) should we forget to do so. instead of shouting at us to keep it when we are already 3/4 out of SDBA's gate.
5) who says painting is only meant for girls? look at all the famous artists in the world. name me a well-known female artist?
oh if u are thinking im bitching about some people here, u got me all wrong. i am only emphasizing on the extent of pollution at the kallang basin.
2025hrs..
no my comp is still not working. yes it died on me again. no this is definitely not my comp.
i have nothing to say actually.everyday is like the repetition of the previous day. well, more or less.
wake up.train.eat.watch tv.slp.wake up. train.eat.watch tv.slp
ha quite sad.
who is midnight viper?or whatever your name is.
i just realise that today is the first day of december. we always say we are waiting for christmas, seems like its just going to be another 24 days wait.
and i am still waiting. waiting sucks.its painful. i wish i dont have to wait any longer. but i highly doubt it.
1822hrs..
woah! its been one thousand years since i used the comp. apparently it was down and it refuse to work. it miraculously decide that it wants to work today.its good im not complaining. but i wont be surprise if it decides to die on me again tmr.
so i left off on my birthday.hmm..quite a no. of stuff happened i must say.changes here and there.
celebrated many birthdays this month as well.ruizhi's and lous'. saw lous! like finally! haha miss her and her hilarious acts and that contagious laughter.haha are we still crashing on dec6?
chalet was great fun! haha blading and cycling was funny. so was HEART ATTACK! and tt freaking disgusting millipede.
we found this stretch of nice places for dining on saturday while out having dinner with lous. and i think one of them places is just perfect.or so it seems. lous jus turned 17 two days ago and gwendo is turning 18.haha.
intensive training has started. and i've started with the kayak! good stuff. so now im taking k2 with jaclyn. four times a week. im life-less alr.but i rather be doing smthing everyday than just sit around.training definitely get my mind off other things for a while.
so thats it so far.. till my comp decides to work again..

2311hrs..
the previous entry was just one of those feelings of mine on a really bad day.ha.
did i ever mention that Narinder is a BITCH! she belongs to the world of cynicism.
i feel really guilty for not going to train today. but i just cant help it.. still not feeling well. and i cldnt make it for the pre-comp dinner as well..i hope i get well by wed. cos tts the first day of Nationals [heats]. i wish i cld have a positive mindset about my race, but one have to be realistic right?ha.
i just made a decision about something..not anything important anymore..perhaps not to me..i really hope this is not going to hurt anyone. cos i would gladly be the one getting hurt rather than hurting someone else..but anyways... Im sorry.
some expedition photos..this was taken at the start of the expedition..those on the bum boat are the teachers.
penguin Eugene and Mr Xiang [hong]..look at him tap water. oh yea, the boat is moving man..
