two point five: water training.
i cabbed to macs today. 15 bucks, with all the peak hour charge blah blah. felt damn cheated when the rain started coming in and jiaolian asked us to help keep the boats and the shoes of our team mates. stood under the eaves of the paddle lodge watching the rain fall and waiting for it to stop, which it did after a while. thank god. went for our run and came back to dry row. the weather was damn frigid, and my muscles were stiff and tense. couldn't really move properly. gave up dry rowing for a while then bern came up to get us.
yen and i ended up together again in a k2. (: and today's experience sort of proved we can row together. hahahaha. winz at life, totally. (: we capped only three times, and today i was in a SEAT. yeah, the last time i rowed with yen, i was without a seat = i am lower in the boat = my height doesn't affect CG that much = more stable (we capped twice the last time). so effectively, today's row was okay, though i'd prefer it much better if we got to row more. bleargh. there were a lot of boats today at the launching area, you see. and we let two guys go into their k2 first. -.- how gentlemanly lah, those j1 guys. so we spent about 5 to 8 minutes, waiting. -.- hahaha. but i am still quite :D that we managed it again. (: the last time i was at the back in a seat in a k2 was on saturday with nicole, and we capped >10 times. must have been the wind and my not being used to the seat.
geri and xiner, and chee and vivian are entering for that competition that's coming up. go them. (: i'm sure they will do well. yup! it felt weird at first, that's a given, what with them going for extra water training on wednesdays. frankly i wasn't too accustomed to the selectivity of a sports cca. but now looking at them working hard and being able to take part in a competition just tells me i have to work harder along with the rest to catch up. like jiaolian says, just heck and work hard, like the boys who don't really care who's training with the senior team. alright. can't wait for saturday. yes, water training again, hahaha! (: i hope jiaolian lets me and yen row together again. if not, then maybe i can try to row on my own w/o capping. want to do t1, actually, and prove i am not an imba kid first. k1 can wait, heehee.
i have loads of work and revision to do. there's 90% finished bio tutorial. there's bio/chem/math revision. and there's the stinky chem tutorial 2. o.O shimatta. wanted to go to bishan library to mug today, but it was fsking cold, so i made my way home.
adios amigozzz, need to go nap and then study. the cleaner is here, you see. vacuum cleaner and blah blah shizzo noises. grawrrr. i'm so grumpy today. i will wake up at 430, when she's done vacuuming.
