IVP was a blast. To be frank i was over joyed to obtain a silver for the k4 1000m race. Even greater joy when i found out that our girls team had achieved 1st out of all the other schools. Delighted and enjoying every single moment. However, what i thought was the most memorable moment was isn't the time when i won my medal, nor was it the moment when the girls were pronounced the overall champions. Instead, the most memorable moment was when the whole team got together to cheer on the girls k4, the last event of the day. I could feel sheer joy and excitement throughout the short span of 1 minute. With everyone shouting in unison just to over power the other school's cheers. At that moment, even though i was out of breath, i kept shouting and shouting. So did everyone else. That was when our spirit was at it's highest and that was when, i knew for sure, what a true team was all about.
Once again, congrats to our girls on their overall champion position and to the guys for just enduring throughout.
However, the road is never smooth. Months before, my dear partner told me news that shocked me, and many today. When he pulled me aside one training and told me that IVP would be his last race. I was stunned, in fact speechless! Here we have a person whom we all thought would never leave, and yet, i was hearing it. However, after today, it was all done. Shocked we were, and i have to say, i was really upset. Yet, i have to accept and respect his decision. I won't say much, however, i would like to thank you.
Thank you for the days you picked me up when i feel to my lowest. Thank you for always being a pillar of support. Thank you for always encouraging me when i gave up on myself. Thank you for entertaining the team with you unique sense of humor.
With this, i would like to say, "All the best with your future endeavours!"
Cheers bro!

My Saturdays are so boring now that I'm out of training due to my biopsy. I miss how i could push during trainings and feel satisfaction when i do well and improve. Arrgghhhh!!! I need to train badly. I want to push my body to limits it's never achieved before. Most importantly, i want to do my best in IVP. Gahhh.....
I also miss my baby rebe. Due to her A Levels, i can't meet her for like almost a month! Worst still, we cant go out on our month-sary. Sniffle sniffle, stupid exams... Spoilt our routine of going out every 10th of the month. Now the scores will be 33/34.
IT Bonanza has really be very tiring. After ever day, our bodies will just crash. I can sometimes just stand and stone. Staring at the blank wall in front of me. Not that the IT fair is unsuccessful, it's just that I'm in charge of bags. Frankly, the brand I'm taking isn't as well known as my competitors brand. Secondly, the discounts are not as attractive. Lastly, my designs are more for the working crowd, not students. Oh well, at least i sold 6 bags in the last 2 days. Ha ha... However, I'm quite happy to see other stores making lots of money.

Next thing is... I miss training! I want to train so badly and i want to do well for IVP. However, due to my biopsy, I'm out for 2 weeks. Will try to get back to gymming next Monday, but water training will have to wait till the stitches are removed. My promise to my team and myself, to whack hard every single remaining day that I've got till IVP! For my partner, team and myself. NYP kayaking!!!
Also, all the best to my juniors and those seniors who are taking part in round ubin. I'll pray for everyone of your, that the water conditions would be favourable for your. Do us proud, but most importantly, do it for yourself. Good or unfavourable results, don't blame anyone or yourself, but work hard for the next race. Most importantly, give it your best and have no regrets.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIYI!!! You're finally 18!!! All the best for your A levels and may all your wishes come true :)
Basically, things that happened since i last blogged were: Worked for mini cooper (Pictures), Nathan's birthday (Sorry i missed it!!! Will make it up after your A levels!) & lastly, cam whoring this morning/evening. Enjoy!
