I was thinking about today again and how all of us came this far. There were somethings that I forgot to say today.

The past 11 months were the scariest, hardest, most tiring, smelliest, BEST thing that ever happened to me. At first, it was all about me - about me wanting to join a sport CCA, about me wanting to be fit, about me wanting to have fun. You get the picture. The first few months were a stuggle to put it mildly. Before every single training, I would deliberate if I should go. Somehow trainings then seemed so painful, so difficult to get by. With every drop of sweat on the sunken gallery floor, pain began to feel relative. It was either hurting really bad or excruciating or somewhere in between. Until now, I still don't know how we got through that. No one gave up halfway. Maybe it'll be a mystery that would never unravel.

Through those months, walking on mud, singing in the rain, rowing (and swimming - sometimes) in the water, swimming in the pool, running round the track, drinking MRwater (think joanne), unwittingly and unconsciously, we were not only geyi, jasmine, charmaine, nina, joanne, faith, rui yan, kai yan, sam, jia yue, c.a., melodie, janice, but a team. Team of 2007. The team with one heart, one mind, one stroke.

I still remember the time when we came back from the June training. When we went back to school, we had a [Canoeing Table] every break. Although everyone there wasn't doing anything significant, just being there was enough. Enough for me. It's those little things that mean alot. Somewhere, somehow during this whole course, the canoeing bug had found its way into me. I don't know if it was the MRwater. During the CCAAB camp, I felt really horrible not going for training and missing it so badly that after we got killed in Operation Dodo Bird, Jeff, Janice, Ry and I went to do push ups. Call us crazy. Maybe we really are. Teehehe X) Just before the camp I was rather tired of training. 4 water trainings in a row! Gosh! But I guess as the saying goes, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." I really missed training after the first day at camp. Even the comment about canoeists not needed to put their knees on the ground didn't bother me THat much, though it did a little.

The thing is, I want to row, I want to laugh, I want to sing, I want to fly!

I have this quote that says:
"Whatever you are..
Be a good one"

Let's go girls!
Love you all :)
