So, i've been requested to update my blog. Soooooo...im super duper busy. and yes school has started since many of you think that im still holidaying. Sentosa. yes.
Not cool.
Not fun.
Not cheap.
Ferrying between home, sentosa, TP and back home again isnt exactly what i'd call enjoyable. I could easily spend $7 a day on transport alone. With the inclusion of meals...gosh thats 10 times worse.
The past week has been prep for Tp regatta and PA canoe race. Busy weekends didnt give me much time to rest before school opened and im now rapidly being caught in the whirlwind of activities and decision making. I didnt perform up to the standard that I personally expected for myself. Yes, I did make it to the semis of all 3 categories that I participated in namely T1, K1 and K2 but certain events were rather disappointing i must admit. I didnt put in effort at all for K1 knowing that entering the finals would be rather tough. It was a mad rush after that semis, switching boats immediately to T1 w/o a chance for rest. 2 gulps of red bull and i was off. Now for T1 I was dertermined to enter the finals but STUPID me, and i mean STUPID, forgot to wash off the deep heat oil from my hands and once my hands entered the water, i completely lost my grip on the paddle so the whole start up was screwed and that was the end of entering the finals. Stupid stupid stupid. I put off purchasing a grip for my paddle and I was to lazy to wash my hands properly with soap. Up till now i get really frustrated thinking about it. ROAR.
K2 was doing well until we capsized without knowing how it happened. We concluded that one of our paddles must have cut under water hence pulling us down. At that point in time, when i was in the rescue boat I couldnt hold it anymore. Once we reached shore and went back to TP for a breather by ourselves(Chrys and I) everything came falling out. I couldnt stop whatever i was doing then.
Well its done and over. Been preping for the recruitment drive which starts tmr and im about filled up to my head with it. Why must VC be incharge of such events. Groans. next up is Training camp and i gotta draft up a proposal for my advisor before getting the green light to plan it. Gah.
1500 flyers, last minute noticeboard design, 3 hours of rushing out the canoe banner, printing photos at home. My eyes are gonna shut any moment.
A very goodnight to you.
