Today's the DB competition..
Instructor's not there, I was so angry and disappointed..
He jolly well know that we need a stirrer and a drummer..
And he just didn't come. HOW IRRESPONSIBLE IS THAT?!
There's only 8 person in my team, and 9 in the other..
Oh wells..
When we're preparing in the boat, one of the SP person asked me..
'where's your stirrer and drummer'
I was dumbfounded for a second and I said
'Our instructor isn't here'
He then gave a blank look and said
'Wha....what?'
I told him again,
'Our instructor isn't here'
He stared at me for awhile and told the others..
So, they sent in 2 person, they sucks..
The drummer is so slow and he hit the drum very slowly..
We can't even hear the stirrer when he said 'paddles up' or 'easy'.
We came in the last two.. My team the last..
It's actually alright, we're faster @ marina barrage than at Bedok reservoir already..
During the trainings, we had small competitions and my team always lag behind quite much..
But just now at marina barrage, we're only 28 secs behind..
My team's overall timing was 4mins 30secs..
Which my team's proud of..
We're not CCA team..
We only had three and a half hour of training, though some had experience it before.
During the competition, the sea water keep getting into my eyes, it hurts so much..
Kahhui was the left first person, so she's in front of me..
In between the competition, I saw that kahhui was faster and she was not co-ordinating with Howying..
So I said 'kahhui, co-ordinate. kahhui co-ordinate!'
After the competition, I asked kahhui whether did she close her eyes, she said yes.. LOLLOL..

revision of DB
paddle - 3 parts
-handle(top)
-shaft(center)
-blade(bottom)
few instructions >>
-paddles up(hold paddle in 'A' shape)
-row
-easy(stop rowing)
-hold water(stop the boat by putting the paddle into the waters)

when rowing count one to ten continuously..
Remember to twist to the side that you're rowing..
Life vest touching, or close to the side of the boat..
bend the top hand a bit at the front of forehead..
hand that is holding the handle must be straight..
remember the 'A' shape..(hands plus paddle)

Hmm, I was so determined that I'll join choir in poly,
but now, I'm thinking twice.. haha..

Ha. Tmr's school~
Woots. 3 more months to Os~
I'm so not ready :x
JIAYOUs everyone! GAMBATTE! HWATTING!!

takecare peeps,

Today we went in late again, but not bcoz of the weather, bcoz some of the peeps always come late.. and we only had 1 hour of training (plurk angry emoticon).

Today's training is quite fun, as instructor kaihang break a few jokes..

When we did counting, we're quite lethargic, so he said  "when you remove your bowel, you dont argh, argh, argh( in a lethargic way that sounded wrong :x) but you will argh argh argh( in a using lots of energy way{okay, i wrote it till it sounds so wrong :x}) then your shit will come out right?" This made us laugh so much.. 

We did twice of 500m, and i was out of breath most of the time! hahas..

I kept holding my breath ah. weird me. 

we did quick rowing or whatever it's called for quite a while..

like, row quickly, it sounds stupid but it's quite difficult okay?

We also did a few sets of the supposed first 10 moves..

My stomach and butt(:x) muscles hurts.. 

Well, instructor kaihang asked us if we think we can win, ha, of course we said no..

But he encouraged us by saying, "it's the mentality, even if you think that you can't win, at least try for the first 3." 

I kinda go for that mentality.. Winning is not everything. Even though (if) we didn't get even the first 3, we had learned teamwork, perseverance and sportsmanship and we had the experience. 

Although, yes, we trained hard, and if we didn't get anything, I will be sad and (might) angry with myself for not trying harder or loosen myself in between the race, it'll be only one day, the next i will not be like that. 

Why wallow yourself in a failure of the past and miss all the other success that you can have?

I'm ready to be defeated, are you? I won't be pessimistic, we will be having 10 peeps there, so we can win!


takecare peeps,

xiaoxi

well, thank god today's weather is good when we're training. :D
hope tomorrow's the same!!
but, what made my mood go down is that instructor kaihang seem so unwilling to teach us today..
he had this boring tone and keep moving us to the platform..
instructor kaihang seems so insincere which made me quite pissed at the end of training.
He said today's gonna be intense training, but we only did twice of 500m, 9 times of 10x breaking the water and some exercise to strengthen our arm muscles.
I don't find it intense.. maybe it's coz he's sick today?
I saw him wearing a face mask before our training..
Oh well, I just hope training will be better tomorrow..
Tomorrow's the last training!! And then competition! Hwating people!!!

Heard from some others that instructor will choose 10 ppl for the competition,
the rest will be reserve.. cool, I hope to be in the team though :x

takecare peeps,

Due to the weather, there's only half an hour for us to train ._.
irritating weather.
Till now we're suppose to have 6 hours of training alr, but due to weather(again.) we only did 1 1/2 of training.
argh, time and money wasted.
But I hope our hard work won't be wasted.
I really wann my team to win at least smth in the competition..
Today was some kind of posture check thing, and instructor kaihang moved my shoulder to be more slanted.. And then my tummy muscles at the right hurts..
when we're rowing, instructor kaihang pushed my right hand down as to make me move the blade fully into the waters.
We did one by one rowing today, and the boat's damn heavy, it's one person rowing 9 person!
So anticipated for the competition and so nervous.
Today's training's tiring, bcoz we're moved to the "correct posture" and we're using many muscles..
But when we go on land, I was not tired anymore..
well, I think I'm crazy, LOLLOL..

takecare peeps,
xiaoxi

First dragonboat training..
We went down one by one, and then one of the girls step at the side of the boat,
and she drop into the water..
When I was going in, I was afraid that I would drop in.. haha
so I step in quick and bend down and hold the boat..
They said dominant hand at the top, so I thought I would need more strength on my left,
so I sat at the right, but, it was that the hand that holds the bottom needs more strength..
What I guess is around twenty minutes into it, my right hand muscles hurts,
and as its not my dominant hand, I didn't manage to catch up with the rest.. :x
Instructor asked me to change to the left side of the boat, so, luckily it's better.
After awhile, nurul asked to sit at the front, and kahhui and i moved to the last..
Sooo, while we rowed, water splash everywhere, my eyes, my body, especially the 50 in a row row..
I tried very hard to open my eyes while rowing, which is a torture as water splashes into my eyes.. our competition is a 500m race, and we tried it today, I missed a beat, :x I was tried..
I find myself the worst player in the team, but I shall not feel sad or whatsoever,
because, I can be better isn't it? YES. HUINING, YOU CAN DO IT! :D
I think I'm crazy, after we go on land, I want to go back to the waters again.. hahaha..
Didn't know that dragonboat can be so addictive..
While on the boat, we saw NTU guys row pass, they are so fast and steady and their 'A's were very uniform..
Mr Chew said the competition will be on the last Sunday of June @ marina barage ..
He also said that there are only 4 schools participating.. hmmm..
The girls that participated last year said that the currents at marine barage is stronger than that of bedok reservoir, jialat :x
I hope I'll be stronger by then and TPSS will win again! :D

takecare peeps,
xiaoxi.

I forced myself into your world, trying to know you and things that revolves around you.
Maybe I'm wrong, I know that I should not force myself.
I know that forcing will not give me happiness.
I am trying to hard to leave it, but it is difficult.
Trying this hard is making me weary,
I shall leave, but I'm not sure how long I would use, to leave it completely..,
since I was into your world for so long.

2nd day in msia..
it's quite fun and boring at the same time..
alexis went back home, annabel didn't come..
so well, it's quite boring now,
i only have the lappy right now..
soooooo lazy to do coursework..
have no idea what to write for it.. :/
So i was doing coursework while using FB while listening to wedding dress, f(x), after school, t-ara and SNSD songs and suddenly i miss choir..
idk why, i just miss those days, i miss singing, i miss vocal warm ups..
i miss the seniors..
i miss my graduated friends..
why time pass so fast?
it's June,
3 months more and we'll all take our Os,
and leave TPSS,
we won't meet as much, we might also never meet anymore..
after this year, we'll all be separated.
hey peeps,
i really will miss you all, you people are the majority that is in my life, especially those that are my classmates of 5 years.
After this year, I really hope we can meet out together someday more.
I really will miss the whole batch of people,
I will miss the little pranks that we did on teachers,
I will miss all the inside jokes.
I will miss practically every thing in class.

omg, why am I so emotional today?

takecare peeps,
xiaoxi
