Farewell.
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. farewell -ter.
