very sad...
yesterday went ost with soo shuen, tay chuan, cheryl and lixian
super chui
ran hall 16 + peaceful road (behind nanyang executive)
at first was ok, though i find it a bit fast
bit after we cross the road to the nanyang executive,
i dieded le...
the slope at hall 11 totally sucked away all my energy
haha.
no kidding. need a lot of fart-leg trainings
decided that i shld go training on fri evening, sat & sun morning
shld focus on my running and no more...
think my rowing techniques can come later
cos my most disturbing prob is my stamina right now
it's more impt right now...
gotta train hard man!!!



read an email from adele, supoosedly is one of my seniors who have graduated
she mentioned that during a race, someone sitting in front of her fell from her seat at the charging part
dat was so similar from my experience in my MR500 race!
except that i din fell from my seat
the girl who fell was Pang, my ex-captain
she explained that she was trying to kick her body up, but slipped and fell
cried a lot. haha.
but teammates sitting behind her told her, "it's ok. i rowed doubly hard for you."
so koo!!!
that's wad we call the 'Phoenix" spirit (our team is called Phoenix)
haven't really experience this kind of feeling yet
mayb i feel that i do not have the qualifications to be considered their teammate
but i'll train doubly hard!!! i promise!
i felt that my body is getting into condition
its just my way of breathing, which exhaust me a lot
always panting hardly, cant breathe, esp when we do sprints
i know my legs are not tired, yet i can't push any further
partly due to my mentality
my mental strength is extremely weak
how to change my mind???
get a new brain???
i know i shld tell myself that i can, dont give up
but strangely, once i heard pple telling that "you can do it"
there's an inner voice that tells me "i cant do it"
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY MIND???



if i still dont change my mentality, i'll be eliminated soon
gotta change
CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE

very sad and afraid.
cos ah hee mentioned that we'll be doing lotsa of sprinting after our exams,
when training resumes
he already warned me that chance is in my hands
if i dont grab it, it will be lost
dammit
gotta run more!
run everyday!
more importantly, i need to sprint more to improve my stamina
hate sprinting for long distance, especially 400m in 1 shot



realli dun wanna be kicked out of the team
its like a commitment thingy
put in so much effort, committed myself so much
realli dun feel like just quitting and stopping
really have to work hard
press-on and improve myself



this is a promise, not only to myself, also to my teammates...

been really busy these few days.
cos really have many mtgs going on.
oh! I've made a remarkable progress on my mugging.
yesterday mugged with serena at her hall's TV lounge.
realli nice place and koo
there's air-con in that room too!
nice ambience too. hehe.



anyway, realli must start on my revision le.
Dis week is my last week of training.
They usually stop training abt 3 weeks to exams.
so that means im only left with 3 weeks' of preparation!
yucks!
time is really pressing me!
and i still have 1 more Research Methods presentation in the week of April 2
plus my final presenation for Communications on that same week and same day!!!
super disgusting topic: Find ways to improve my school
yucky subject. seriously.



Then for the last week of term, I will be having another presentation for Advance Corporate Finance
Dammit!
How come all of my presentations comes at the last minute~
save me~~~

today marks the end of the MR500 race, held at Seletar Reservoir
realli sucky for me
cos i screwed up in the 1st race -- Mix Team B
it was a race with the guys
the guys were super fast
and at the end, when they go for charging
the boat was too jerky that i lost my balance
the coaxier, Edward, had to push me back with his knee to get me back into position
realli sucky.
cos the seniors standing on the shore watching dinno wad happen
once i reached shore, they were questioning, "Why did you stop halfway?"
i just replied them they were too fast and i lost my balance.
after that they didn't say anything much.



Actually I did not feel that bad at first.
It was until Li Si, our own female coaxier came to ask me whether I was scolded.
It was then that it dawned on me that I've made a terrible mistake
by losing my balance, not to be able to carry on
started to tear. haha. I know it's very maloo but I cant help it.
couldn't face the team, as well as the guys team.
really sad and embarassed.



after that my captain, xiao hong, had to come and comfort me
cos it was so obvious that im utterly disappointed by my performance after my talk with Li Si
and i was isolating myself
she said something about outsiders may not be able to understand the problems the rowers face when they're racing
so they may over-react and say those words to you.



i think my captain and vice-caps, especially ah hee, my coach is very nice to me
for the mix team finals, ah hee selected me to go down again
this time round its the same boat and the same position in the boat
as if to make me go through the humiliating event again.
but this time round, i tried to keep my body low, and to always lean my body forward
so that i will be less affected by the jerking when the boat goes into the final charging
it ended up to be a good race, i guess.
cos i think we got third for that race. will have a medal i guess. **glad
din cock up the show.



straight after that was the women's finals
i really went all out
my teammates also really went all out
we did better than yesterday
yesterday for the heats, the backpack couldn't hear the drummer's commands at all
in the end, the midpack and the backpack people only have 1 single stroke rate all the way
if the race were to carry on for another 20m, we could have lost and become 2nd or 3rd.



but todays' finals, we emerged fourth.
cos the other boats were really very strong
NUS was 1st, winning us by 8sec, after that was NTU canoeists, den RP dragonboaters
the last was the Bristish
the previous Breast Cancer Race, we couldn't even match up with the British
and today, within just 3 months, we could beat them
that calls for some celebration, i guess.
ah hee was satisfied with our results, and he was sure we will not come in last
he's so zhun3!!!
haha. we were super close to NUS
he said we keep biting their starts, keep following them and in the end they didn't win us by a lot
just ard half to 3/4 boat's length
wad a great news, considering they trained more than us, and even harder
ah hee says they trained too hard, that's why they underperformed
but its also an advantage cos this means that all of their fitness is already there
they just need to focus on their techniques and they'll pull away even further than us



all in all, today was a memorable day
with good and bad things to be remembered
will continue to improve and to perform better

sun was the worst
9am, we trained with the guys team
i think it was ok
except that they are too good in splashing water le
haha
totally cant open the eyes



after that helped amos to coach his church pple
super angry at the small little boys
and i have 2 cuts
1 on the hand and 1 on the leg
the leg was hurt when i was trying to help people into the boat
but the small little boys wanted to play rocking
so that's the time when i got the cut from the gunrail i think



next is the cut on the hand
was caused when i was trying to row us back onto shore
knocked into the outer part of the gunrail
haha
super shang1 hen2 lei2 lei3



den at night
went to kbox with the 9haz

been really sucky these two days
super tired
and low in energy
probably due to my flu
but i hate the kind of feeling
i wanna train
but no mood and no energy to train
haha.
dammit



anyway, tmr going to meet prof choo, regarding fyp
so soon lor!
we have to decide on a topic for fyp and decide on the prof le
shit.
dunno wad to expect from fyp at all le
haha
like sheep in the big city.
havent prepared anything yet.
going to meet tmr b4 our meeting with the prof
hehe
dunno whether he will be a nice prof
if he is, lucky us
den we dun need to search for another one
but i have a feeling that our idea would be rejected
we wanted to do a financial consultant firm for the vietnamese
cos my fren said the vietnamese are getting richer but they dunno where to invest their money
to make money out of money
u know.. the finance kinda stuff
so we are there to help them invest, buy financial pdts
also, we can assist overseas firm to invest in vietnam
give them advice or sth
its a great idea
but i highly doubt that it would be an easy topic to do for fyp
haha
bless us!



two tests. dammit
communication --> persuasion
and psychology --> 6 chapters
right now, ive only read thru 5 chapters but i have yet to memorise them
ya know... psy is all about memorising and churning out wadeva u rem onto the exam script
dammit. no time and no energy
so many things to do!
dieded.

yoz. today had a gathering with our so-long-never-see Ms Tan Lurong
went to chinatown, where she works
yupz she's working now
coming to NTU soon, i hope



we went to an organic shop that sells basically nothing except vege and cheese
even the pasta was fully covered with cheese
too cheesy. dun like
haha
ate halfway den give up
esp when the pasta had turned cold and the cheese had turned more thick
yucks!
never to go there again
but the ambience of the shop is nice
music, books ard
and the seats are couches
nice feeling
like a garden



after that went ard to look for dessert shop
cos we wanted to have desserts!
like mango ice or sth
finally settled on a HK dessert shop
ate tang yuan! my fav!
the skin is super soft. nice.
esther and wensi had mango something something
irene had egg white with dunno wad
wenting was some egg thingy also
but it really looks like the sauce that was added to the tofu, sold in coffeeshop's rice stall
haha.
anyway, they claimed that i was too high, after i had the glutinous rice balls
haha. i feel that im ok le. dunno y. dun bother



super tired today still
muscles aching
yesterday we did gym
then countless sets of 60 strokes
fast ones ok!~
super tiring
den ah hee was announcing that some of need to eliminated
or else there wont be enough spaces for the next batch of yr 1s.
so serious. so sad.
cos i know i'll definitely be one of the top few in the blacklist
haha. cos i cant run. dammit.



ah hee hinted that those not called to enter the race on March 16&17 would be highly probable to be kicked out of the team
but in the end, he still pulled out all of the seniors, who are graduating.
obviously he wants to give everybody more chances to prove ourselves
that we can make it
so kind of ah hee.
he said our last chance would be the june race
that means those not selected for PM cup would be eliminated!
dammit.



worried sia.
