Singapore Dragon Boat Festival 2005!

Yesterday too tired, blog half way den went to sleep.. hee.. here it is..

IVP Mens: 2nd..
IVP Mixed: 3rd..

Sat: went down for 3 races, Mens Opens Heats, IVP Mens Heats and Mixed Opens Heats.. Mens Open and IVP Mens Heats came in first.. got into Semi for Opens and Finals for IVP.. Mixed opens got 2nd.. also got into Semi..

Sun: reach Raffles MRT at 9am for photo taking and went to Ngee Ann Kong Si Temple to pray.. after that went to China Square to eat.. and Walked to Starting point.. I'm one of the Last few to reach, but once i reach, its arranging the boundaries for paddles and lifevests.. and counting them.. had breifing and mental rowing by Ah Huat.. The first race was Mens Opens Semi-Finals.. I gave my 100% for that set.. but i feel that there's some of them who's reserving their strenght, charging never up like that.. F Up.. after that, got to rest for awhile before going down for IVP Mixed.. and for this set, I wanted it so badly, I gave everything that i had left.. but the boat jus didn't come up much.. and we got 3rd.. wont elaborate why.. After race, its immediate going down for IVP Mens Finals.. Didn't went down..

This is what Happened: when i got up, Ah Huat asked me, "Ni ke yi Mah?". i Hesitated for 1-2 seconds before saying "Ke yi." Then Ah Huat asked me a second time, "Ni ke yi Mah?" I immediattely replied "Ke yi". Then Ah Huat said something like, "wo huan ni" or "Wo xiang xin ni".. den i think to myself, since i already hesitated at the first time, i'll jus tell Ah Huat that i cant row.. And, I told Ah Huat that i cant and to change me.. thats y i didnt go down for IVP Mens.. and they came in 2nd.. That's supposed to be my First Silver Medal.. But I Believe that i'll be getting more Silver and Golds from more up-coming races..

Got lots of feelings for girls.. Hear Stories here and there.. I Know you Trained Hard.. I Know you Did your Best.. Shall not say more, since i'm not in girls' team.. and for fear of hurting them more.. But I can say, I care for my Girls more den i care for my guys.. That's why at times, i wanted to join the girls for training..
My guys are getting abit of a problem too.. heh.. you all jus didn't realise..

Gave out Medals during dinner.. Ah Huat decided to give to the original list of pple who shld be rowing, the medals.. i got mine and i gave to Alan, on the spot i jus say I want to give my Medal to the person who helped me rowed in Finals.. Actually i got quite a few reasons as to why i gave Alan the Silver Medal.. and i told Alan already..

Firstly, He rowed in the Finals, not me..
And for these 2 days, Alan helped me keep track of the number of lifevests and paddle..
I don't belong to this batch and should not be rowing for IVP.. (Read my preview Post)
I told him I Believe I'll be taking more Silver and Gold medals from up-coming races..
And to Win one back for me next Race..
And I also told him that i wanna let him know, and to people reading my blog, that even when u think that the line-up is out and u won't be rowing, you must still continue to train hard.. Cause who knows, on race day itself, you might be chosen..
Put yourself in Ah Huat's shoe, if a rower tells Ah Huat that he's tired, who do u think he'll risk more? will he put a freshie (who dunno the stroke) down? Or will he tell the tired rower, "I believe in you, rest as they do warm up to starting point".. I think he'll ask the tired rower down, dun agree let me know.. If you dun wan to be like Freshie, den train hard no matter what happens..

Always BELIEVE that you Will be Rowing..

SenS: I did, Thats why I'm still here.. I BELIEVE in Myself.. I Believe in my rowers..
