I guess going down and watch the race today was the right choice. Now, I have the itch for wanting to train real hard for the PA Paddle Championships ont the 25 and 26th next month.
I guess I shouldn't put my focus on other stuff other than rowing. In order to train hard, everyone must put their head in the race and remember that we're a team and not an individual.
So there, I shall just put everything down and just row.
I just went to Hydrotribe and saw this comment posted by MrPaddleshop and quote:
The races today were fantastic to watch. Although many teams were not in the line-up, I guess its was a good gauge for the teams in those races to judge their current standards as a prelude to the annual SDBA dragonboat festival.
I noticed the mixed races were in fact extremely competitive, with NJC, Neophytes and SAFSA putting up incredible timings. The mens and womens opens were almost predictable with NTU mens and NUS womens taking huge leads in their heats. I think it really boils down to how hard these guys train to reach the level that we see these days. I guess with the introduction of carbon fibre paddles, it realli cuts down on the race timings as well. Well, tml is still another day of races to look ahead to and hope it will only get better.
Cheers! P.S. Trivium rocks!
And was quite inspired by it. So train hard Dragnix!

God, my first time giving camp briefing and I can't say that it went well or anything, let's just say it's a form of experience.
As for what I feel now, I feel numb and as usual, confused.
Gawd, I don't know what am I thinking right now, but not to fret, I'll always be on the positive side(:
Btw, the irritating chinese whose name's WAYNE and is in camp requested that I blog about him. Yes, he is irritating. (You know you love me right? (X)
Now, I have to go.

WHOOHOO!
Yesterday's training was truly awesome! Never have I been hating these kind of trainings. Always been craving for it. I did weights and felt effing accomplished. Rowing? It was simply orgasmic.
It's finally here.
But towards the end, the same stuff kept distracting me.
Gawd, this always comes at the wrong timing. Anyway, went for lunch with HANA, Sumi, KaiSin and Haini at Plaza Sing. On the way, everything just came to me.
On the way home was just the same, didn't want to go home that early so I rode bus 700 to Bukit Panjang with HANA and KaiSin then bus 180 to BoonLay.
Great, I didn't know that the effects will affect me.
Geez.

Work was crazy so far. With now being the paycheck collection week and all.
Sigh.
It feels as if I'm on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Somehow, feeling down at home seems perfect.
Because no one knows the main reason why.
Weirdly enough, when I reach my office everyday, I can't seem to feel down. At home I'll unknowingly cry and back in DFAC, I can't even have the thought of even shedding a tear.
It's just that...sigh
I miss you, M. I really do.
*UPDATE*
Okay, so I went to SDBA with HANA to send her sis + friend for training.
Thank god that I made the decision to go out with her if not I'll be staying home and emo like crazy. So anyway, we decided to head to Marina Square to catch Paul Blart: Mall Cop and it made me take my mind off things for awhile. It was worth the money. (:
After the movie walked around and met up with HANA's sis+friend.
Thanks HANA for bringing me out today. Really really appreciate it. But I guess my efforts of not thinking wasn't there.
Anyway, GIRLFRIEND1, when can we go out again?? hmmm?? XD
And GIRLFRIEND2, when can we go out?? hmmmm? XP

Okay, this post is dedicated to some people that have impacted my life in one way or another.
1. Calvin A guy whom I could share stuff with when I'm doing camps. Kind of the only person that I could talk if there's mostly new trainers/trainers that I don't know. Soon you can say, ORD LOH!
2. Miq A strong-willed person whom I thought was a brazilian mix. He have been there to make sure I'd wake my ideas up and to know what I'm going through. Really thank god that I have a friend like him. Hope that you'll get your you-know-who back! (:
3. Mac Truthfully speaking, I didn't know what exactly happened, but really, I really owe him alot. Even though I gave him so much trouble yet, he still helped me.
4. Farh Another strong-willed person that I look up to. We both have been through rough times, unnecessary bickerings, boy stuff, ups and downs of db and there's more to it. I really don't know how to thank her for being such an awesome girlfriend of mine. Hope that you you really srtive hard for whatever you want!
5. (and lastly,) Umar My mentor since my attachment camp. The only person who could read my mind/know what I'm doing even when he's not around me especially when I'm doing camps. Seriously, I still don't know how he does that. Anyway, he's been there at the correct time and I really don't know how he do it but whenever I feel down, I'll receive at least one of his message asking whether I'm alright or not. This mentor of mine have been and still been the greatest help ever (not to say that the others haven't been of help that is.). Anyway, I hope that you'll be happy with what you're doing right now.
I'm really glad that I met all these people mentioned above. Kinda wasted that I realized only just today.
Sigh.
Hope that all things around me are going smoothly as planned.

I feel so accomplished.
Reason being finishing two back to back camps (which is equals to four camps) in two weeks straight and still not as tired. I am suprised with myself.
Anyway,I found this quiz on my cousin's blog and I found it to be quite true. Go Figure!
Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
Okay, so I survived one back to back camps and one volunteer work consecutively.
I am glad that I don't really feel so tired.
Hmm.
First camp of the week. I felt kinda lost since I haven't been doing camps for the past one month and it's Mac's camp somemore. He said that my dorm briefing sucked. When I asked Azrul about it, he said he planned out the allocation and the briefing. So I let him go ahead. Then, when we arrived into the campsite from the school, Mac told me to give the briefing reason being that DFAC is my 'homeground'. Like wth la, I haven't been doing camps for a month and you tell me last minute to do briefing when Azrul said he's going to do it. Totally no time to prepare, of course it sucks la. Kns.
But, Kai's camp was better.
I had briefing on the day the camp was to be ran and I did dorms again wth Bernice. I told her to do allocation and I do briefing. This time round, it was perfect. I even did rara with Cheeyi when the first few classes arrived in the campsite.
Overall, I was slowly getting the hang of the new group of trainers whom I'll be working with.
I was really glad that everything went well and JIMBEAM+TECHSTAR, I MISS YOU!
Oh, and I did this test and was surprised by the answer.
Your Independence Level: High
You are extremely self reliant and autonomous.
You are definitely into doing your own thing.
But you also wouldn't turn down help if you needed it.
You follow your own path, but you don't do so blindly.
*Edit@ 2100 hours* Did I tell you that sleeping by the beach and waking up hearing the sounds of the waves crashing into the sand is just a dream come true?
Yeah, I did that yesterday.
I did volunteering work for the Milo Tryathlon so Farh and I decided to stay over in Sentosa for the night. Was kinda cranky since I did back to back (sorry girl!) and went home from work and have to rush out to meet her. Heh.
Crocs was among the many sponsors for this event and yep, all volunteers are given a free pair of Crocs plus Jibbits. I kept reeating to Farh saying that I can't believe that I'm actually wearing a pair the most hedious pair of sandals in the world.
HAHA! ' Okay, gotta go sleep.
Ciao! xoxoxo

Mann, I just finished watching GG season 1 the day before yesterday and it was awesome!
But, I still can't believe Serena and Chuck are siblings, Chuck and Blair together, Nate and Vanessa, and by the last episode, Nate and Serena, Dan and Vanessa and Chuck and Blair. So drama laa.
Haha!
If you're asking why am I up so early on a sunday morning and not sleeping myself silly into the late afternoon, the reason being I have volunteer work! Haha.
OHOHOH! Shima handed me my schedule for camps and yeah, I'm back to doing camps in march. (:
On a random thought, I was really random yesterday and went Jurong Point and just walk around. I was wanting to find high-cut Hi-tec hiking shoes but to no avail. Walked around Jurong Point for a little longer and popped by a shop called Anna Nucci. Their shoes look super expensive but when I flipped the shoe to it's sole, I was shocked that the price was actually 30+ bucks and I bought a pair of pretty booties.
It's super comfy but I don't know when could I use it. HAHA!
Dang, I hafta go bathe.
