MR500! Good News... Bad News...

Which do u want to hear first? The Good News or the Bad News??
I like to hear the Bad News First, and then end up with something nice and remembering only the Good News... so I shall talk about the Bad News first.. (Long-Winded.. i know i know..) =P

Bad News - Mens IVP Heats we came in first.. we got the 2nd Best timing out of yesterday's IVP Heats.. But was Disqualified due to cutting of lanes.. Mens open Heats, lose to NUS by a few miliseconds.. Paralax error? heh..

Good News - Ladies got 3rd for Both IVP and Opens.. so Proud of them.. well done girls.. Mixed Opens we got into the Finals.. and came in 5th.. but its alright.. though i wanted something to bring back, I'm already Very Happy of acheiving my target of rowing for Mix and getting into the Finals..

Below are some elaborations..

IVP Mens Finals
SP came in First followed by ITE Dragons 2nd and NUS 3rd.. At the start, the 3 boats in the centre lane, namely ITE, NTU and NUS, clashed into each other again and again.. and at one point, they even merge together into NTU's lane(lane 3).. SP took the chance and glided its way to get a Gold.. ITE managed to break free and got Silver.. NTU was disqualified cause its said they cut lanes.. NUS(the organisers for this event) got Bronze.. as for the other competitor, NYP, they came in last.. even slower than the 3 boats that clashed.. Kio sai also dunno how to kio.. Anyway, even before this race started, I predicted that the top 3 gonna be NTU, NUS and ITE Dragons.. but blame it on luck?? Lucky i never bet with Faizal.. only told others my prediction.. hahaha...

If only we were given a bit more luck, or Hard Work, Training, the guys could have gotten something back from IVP.. Like Ah Huat have said, we were only 80% Trained.. Although Needless to say, I'm Disappointed, But I'm Proud of my whole Team especially the Girls.. Because, with only 80% Trained, we are already capable of achieving this type of Good Results.. Just Imagine, If we are Fully Trained, we could have clinched even More and Better Medals.. I can sense the Sadness in some of the Yr 3 guys.. cause its their last race, and some never got anything for their 3 yrs in Ngee Ann.. But is it neccessary to Vent your Anger or even cry? NO.. its just so wrong, but he did it again, just like last June race..

I'm sad after the Mixed Finals.. even felt like crying in the boat, but i told myself, if i just cry, everyone will just follow and lots of pple will start to cry.. If you show a sad face infront of other people, others will just feel sad too.. so instead of showing it out, put up a smile infront of everyone.. and Thats what i did after every set that i rowed.. I don't want others to feel even sadder..

We had been Unlucky for the past 2 races, But We Will come back for the following Races.. UP Next, June Race, Sava Sprints and Regatta!! I promised Derick that we Ngee Ann will Come Back.. and i'll keep that promise and make that happen..

off to wedding dinner now..
gonna say something during AGM.. Don't think i'll forget.. hehe..

SENS: I'm Dissapointed But Proud.. =D Well Done Girls..
