words are only words.

passion; canoe

there's this huge round blister on my foot that's so perfectly shaped that i find it really cute and i cant keep my fingers off it.

anw i'm so darn glad this sch wk ended early (NO PE = NO SWIMMING!) the past 4 days seemed to pass sluggishly. been lacking motivation to blog, every night aft attempting to mug, it's always having to choose btwn turn on the com or juuuust dao and sleep. the latter is much-preferred most of the time. for tdy, since 3/4 of the day is gone, heck i'm gonna waste the remaining 1/4 of it.

cant believe njcc has faded into a memory, but no it's not a distant one at all. let's backtrack a bit.

MR 500 - our 1st race tgt: lihui & i at lower seletar reservoir!

Hcanoe girls! with dear hx.

NJCC - a surprise bonus for partner & i
(words of the wise coach: "B finals got medal meh? if give chocolate must share ah.")

later... @ fish&co (novena) - hx giving out his april fool's day present: ferrero rocher

the man who's as unpredictable as the weather, tucking into a grosteque portion of fish. (hello he made us play "guess-the-total-bill" aft our meal pls.)

yup learnt alot from the competitions; it was a surreal experience (to quote lihui). still rmb the awe-inspiring feeling while watching the snrs last year. being in the heat of action this time, i think all of us took home different lessons. am not very adept at putting my infinite thoughts into words but i believe everyone in the team has been reflecting non-stop. the thing with canoe is, it draws you in so deep that you simply cannot get out. gosh i dont know how to describe man.

thank you so so much ling & lin na for appearing out of nowhere at macritchie (fav hangout ah). felt super duper touched (: it was nice catching up with jiaaaling too. and it meant alot that my mum made the effort to come down to watch as well. at least she understands why the hell her daughter is so addicted to baking in the sun .haha wad can i say, she had an ulterior motive lor. anyhow, i thanked her alr lahh. hcanoe guys put up qte a good fight too and it was really thoughtful of them to buy lunch. of course of course, there was the supportive rc. (: i'm sorry we fell out but i'm glad we made up.

for now, thinking about trgs, there's this undeniable sickening feeling churning inside. it's like flying a kite, just when you exhausted yourself trying to get it up in the sky, it finally catches wind and glides thru the breeze gracefully then someone comes along to cut the string, leaving you to stare at the kite helplessly & hopelessly as it drifts further and further away.. and you hold on to wad's left of it. not that i flew a kite b4. still, my heart feels heavy lahh. wad's going on in hx's mind. hmmm. paddling with chiaming has been qte manageable, considering i havent controlled direction in a long while. taking front is pretty refreshing.. it's just the air of uncertainty inducing little vexations.

speaking of trg, i'm sure everyone feels the intensity stepping up. only that i dint know how much i can take. still in the process of finding out i guess but monday's episode in the gym was freaky. i nvr doubted hx when he said he was gonna make more ppl cry in the coming week. good job. stoooopid one-arm snatch. i'll conquer the weights. yes i will. rib cage aching weirdly. broken skin makes taking a shower very painful. like, owwwwww.

trg aside, block tests were yucks. i ran my very 1st relay for sports meet ytd. two relays in fact. at the end of the day i think i'd take up long dist over sprints anytime. oh pardon this random comment, there's a pasar malam in my neighbourhood recently, which made me rather sad each time i passed it cos there were hardly any customers at each stall.. dont ppl fancy walk-walk anymore?

ahhwell. family bbq later. making full use of the condo's facilities lahh. how exciting. but i'm a weirdo who mostly eats the cooked food (e.g. fried beehoon) instead of the barbequed ones. looking at the sheer amt of butter spread on the raw meat like nobody's business kinda puts me off.

okay i still think my blister is cute. tdy feels like a saturday.
