REST IN PEACE

Life is full of many unexpected happenings. Life is so unpredictable. The news of the Cambodia incident hit me so hard that i felt my heart sinking when i heard the news. My frens that i hv met not long ago. Laughed and joked tgt not long ago, had dinner and even gym tgt not long ago. Leaving me in an instant.

Reuben, Jeremy, Chee, Boon San and Stephen. 5 great rowers and gd people jus left this World in an instant. Yes. It is difficult to accept such a fact. Nobody wish this to happen.

Reuben was a great fren i met. He brought me to SAFSA dragonboat. Introducing me to many gd frenz and bring dragonboat to a whole new level fer me in a short time.

Chee brought me to national team and took care of me in SAFSA. He was a great fren that i will never forget and will be missed. He was always dere fer trg, guiding us and pushing us.

In Nteam, Boon San guided me. Even thought i did not know him much. But the short time we had, he guided me a lot. I remembered him telling me over lunch that it is impt to study. I will keep this in mind.

Jeremy and Stephen, thought i don noe u well. But the few times we chatted, really had a great time. U are always friendly and dere to help out.

It is hard to accept, difficult to write this post. But i noe i had to, I will miss all of u dearly and u will all always stay in my heart. The gathering of Team SAFSA soon was not the way i had imagined at all.

Gatherings?

Hoho... Got my new phone at last. Haha... Veri long since i last post. Now that the nteam has gone to Cambodia, dere is no more nteam trg. Haix... but the time trials is coming soon, gotta start trg.

Haha... Gonna hv a cohesion session wif my nydb guys after so long. Haha... Time passed so fast... A's has ended liao, wonder when will be the nxt time i row wif the SAFSA guys. Haha... Gotta meet up soon guys!!

Wheee

My phone is coming on thur!!! Called and complain to Singtel. At least they r fast and efficient in handling this stuff... was still worried when my phone would come. Needed a new phone badly.

Had coxing today... Great experience and had a really great time. It was so long since i had worked wif my teammates. Haha... One group of frenz gg off to Cambodia then another grp of frenz come back. Gonna miss the guys tt r gg off... But most importantly de most important is the gifts they bring back. Haha...

Really shagged today... Found the cap i need fer grad nite fer $18... Shall get it soon... Haha... Gotta train hard... Motivation is raging in me again!!

=(

I need a new phone badly. The phone i am using is torn into pieces. Haix... Wonder y Singtel is so low in effiency. The phone i ordered thru faxing has not even given me de reply. The sales consultant said would call me the nxt day but did not even call. Hope the person call soon or i am gonna complain.

Joined my juniors fer training today. Haha.. Really miss the crazy SAFSA trainings. A's is almost ending so many seniors and my teammates came back. Haha... Went out wif my teammates fer the first time after so long. Watched 'Bee Movie' wif Yvonne, Yi Yang, Carol and Kailing. Haha... Miss de old outings we used to hv.

Hope my phone comes soon...

SICK!

I am falling sick again... Can feel the heatiness in my body and the gg to hv sore throat feeling, it is as thought the sore throat would erupt any moment. This feeling totally sucks, jus when i started to enjoy training, another blow comes.

Haha... Rushed through gym in sch today b4 gg to work. Damn tiring, esp when u r feeling sick. Gotta perserve. Haha... Hu ask me to spend so much... Need to save up b4 can enjoy. Really cant wait fer A's to end, really miss my buddies and my nydb teammates. Cant wait to enjoy wif u guys man!

Haha... Kinda miss the SAFSA dragonboat trg too... I guess iam getting old... Miss so many things. Haix.. better force down a jug of water down my throat... sobz... Hope there is a miracle

Shagged out

Had training wif nteam fer the first time today. Used the heavy yellow boat fer trg. Haha... Guess i need to train up my muscular endurance soon... Can barely last the 4 sets of 9min row. But trg was tiring than normal training.

I had nv felt so gd fer so long... Think i am getting back my trg momentum.

Zouk Outing

I guess 2 wks of no clubbing has made many felt uneasy. Imagine ur hormones raging and u totally cant conrol urselves and hv to do 'it'. This is how we r like now, we cant control ourselves frm not gg to club. Haha... But at least it is a great bonding session.

Yesterday Zouk was really fucked up. It was like an unplanned meeting, where almost everyone frm our team and even nteam was present, even thought we did plan it b4 hand.

It was veri crowded and as expected by Allen a bad night, where u can c hormones raging and desperate men charging towards any ladies they could find. I remember some bastard pushing me away so that he could dance with the girl. It was really boring and meaningless to stay dere.

Luckily i met Kelward and we went over to Zouk hall, even thought the music was not really to my type, trance music. But at least it was kind of enjoyable dere. haha... Reuben wore a scarf with a comfortable material. But he 4got that when ppl get high his scarf will get him into loads of trouble.

The last part was enjoyable when u dance with ur frenz and totally ignoring wad's happening ard u. I guess Mambo Night is still the best. Maybe Darren and Justin made the right choice to go Home Club. But still i really enjoyed myself.

Work Work Work

I hv nv been so tired in my life. I really admire ppl that hv the energy to work and continue their gym routine after work. I find it veri tought to cope wif both.

Now that the dragonboat season is over, i am feeling the lose of momentum to train hard. Haix... How i miss those days when i was in NYDB, pushin myself so that i wont lose out to the others and be one of the top athletes in sch. After NYDB was SAFSA Dragonboat, where i was brought to a new lvl of trg.

Haix... I need a motivation. I better find one soon.

Boredom once more

Regatta is over and this marks the end of the season for dragonboat. It also marks the end of my short but an amazing journey with SAFSA dragonboat. I am sure got enjoy the times we hv trg hard tgt and at the same time enjoyin ourselves during those team bonding sessions we hv.

Regatta was really an eye opener fer me. With numerous crash or capsize happening during the race. Even thought team SAFSA didn't really perform up to the standard we should. But i really enjoy myself. Like the saying " It is not the results, but the process that really rewarding." I gotta agree with it.

After trg with SAFSA Dragonboat, not onli did i gain more knowledge and experience about dragonboat, i also met a lot of people doing the same sport. It was indeed a short but meaningful experience with Team SAFSA.

I am really gonna miss u guys and miss those enjoyable trg we hv tgt and let's hope our friendship do not stop here. Haha... We should hv a farewell soon, even thought it maybe sad, but let's enjoy ourselves as a team fer one last time.

MarchE

Had a last outing tgt wif the rest of the guys from team SAFSA Dragonboat... Tmr is the race, let's hope we put in our best and show other teams what we r made of.

Gotta rest soon... Damn shagged, even thought all i did today was eating and shopping. Haha...

Say Goodbye

This wkend is River Regatta, last race before with Team SAFSA b4 we all go our separate ways. It is really weird, i faced the same feeling during the A div June race, where i bid farewell to my NYDB team.

I nv expect myself to get to clique so well wif the guys in Team SAFSA, i still remember when i first joined the team and did nt noe any of them. I was like so quiet and did not dare to speak out to anyone. Did trg as i was told and rowed wif them fer the 1st time in Master's Series. Tt was the stepping stone fer me to noe them better.

But ater tt came the bad news of Team SAFSA NSF joining the commandos team. But those were the proccess tt i went thru in SAFSA dragonboat, it did not hinder me from bonding wif the guys in the team.

I learn from both my experience in NYDB and SAFSA DB tt to bond well wif the team, u mus always take the first step to noe the ppl in the team better. My journey thru NYDB was not as smooth, it took me more than half yr b4 i got to noe the team well and got the whole team bonded tgt. But when the sweetest part came, the sad ending soon came into the story and it was time fer us to say gdbye to each other and NYDB.

I really agree wif wad Chee say, it is always sad to say gdbye. Jus when the team gets tgt and train hard fer River Regatta ( even got night trg somemore), after this wkend it maybe hard fer us to meet again. I m really gonna miss this great grp of wonderful guys.

To the guys in SAFSA dragonboat, Chee, Chian, Darren, Justin, Allen, Chun How, Leonard, Kelvin, Sherwyn and Reuben, i wish u all the best in whatever u all do and hope we can remain in contact even if we r not a team anymore. Let's not 4get the night trg deal tt we still hv and let's give our best fer this wkend's race.
