looks like the guy on the right will be sitting down in his kayak when i see him next time round.
MR500 ended on a good note.there was a somewhat periodic shower when we got back to the reservoir from TM.it was good to find out how much the DB guys were bonded with each other.(how i wished that we could too).
and for the prize presentation,we managed to clinch only a title.a bronze one.and the medal looks darn pretty.
okay aim:at least a medal at the end of 3 years in poly.
looks like we need a lot of training up.after seeing how RP fared this time round,its really scaring when deja vu occurs this IVP.
i gotta be able to stare back at that rp c1 guy the next time i see him and tell him in a really deep tone"hey,good luck,all the best"and see him eating my boat's wash.(=

and these past two days have been spent real good with my teammates.hanging out around bedok reservoir.i really find the name very funky.esp the housing estates nearby which are coincidentally called bedok reservoir road.and i can't stop imaging that the water in the clean crystal clear reservoir feeds the people living there and that during the night,the water evaporates and cools the whole place.hahah
and there's a condo called clearwater opp the reservoir.cool sia.

set it off

lots of things happened.whether be it unexpected or expected.things are gonna take a change.
today's paddling at bedok was great.how i wished i stayed in the east,schooled in the east,and trained in the east.bedok's water is so clear.and clean.and so much more drinkable than mac's..
though living in the central still beats it.TP's so conveniently located next to the reservoir.like they can paddle anytime.

anddd.friday nights.as always..sucks big time.when nobody's out with you.siannnnnnnnn

bored

i'm so bored..

30

what can you do in 30 seconds?
anxiety is building up...

Wednesday....AGAIN

i feel damn drained.
somehow,i think going out with the guys would have been a better choice.maybe.
i was on the bus just now,heading back home from town.bus was packed like sardines.(dick club)
and i was on my ipod when i overheard this guy having a conversation with his ex-classmates.apparently,he called out to her and coincidentally,they met on the bus.quite ironic meeting.guy was serving NS,girl was in uni,to be exact,NUS.guy asks girl how shes's doing and blah blah blah.guy was not bad looking,abit like farhan.girl was also not bad looking,quite dressy.they mentioned about how things have been.and he asks her if she's gonna find a decent job.and he says,isn't that what everyone is looking for?
i wished i had this kind of meeting with my ex-classmates.it feels so nostalgic.

i need to find new kakis,new friends.i feel so restricted in my own hole.so cooped up.
and somehow,i need to change my attitude,i just don't know why am i so explosive during trainings.well,it takes time to change i guess,i must just tone down.and relax...

today was a hectic day down at MacR.people were everywhere and everyone else were doing sprints.except for SP's C1s.

had received a message from aquaculture gabriel lam this morning after rowing.this was what the text wrote.
to jiahong,hey thanks for coming to this camp and guess this is the 2nd activity you have participated for aquaculture.hehe.btw,i really appreciate everything you have put in.it would have been less cheerful without you and beside that,i wanna say please do speak up frequently and don't be afraid because you are who you are and at the end of the day,you are only answerable to yourself and none other.You have alot of potential in many area and i saw it.So don't ever restrict yourself.btw,i regretted not pushing you hard enough into involving in aquaculture.

with best regards,gabriel lam zheng hong


its really nice to receive such texts and i appreciate it,for its only one week more to NJCC.an emotional boost for my morale.not to mention that it was really nice to hear compliments from others though i don't really mind complaints too.i shall apply it to the comm and the upcoming MR.though its really not easy i must say.

shack

got back this noon to a partially different feeling house today.have spent 4 days camping outdoors,sleeping in damp tents(not exactly for the whole 4 days),having instant noodles for practically every meal cept breakfast,showering in my undies and not in the nude,eating from mess tins with utensils slipping into the soup every now and then and complaining to myself everytime an emergency alternative is not available.
it was great,made quite a lot of new friends,and didn't realise that SP was actually this big.i think i kept myself in my biotech+canoeing shell for quite a long time already.

now,its life back to normal.and i feel that i need some time to adapt back the change of busy schdueles.
and i learnt quite a no. of life skills.essential for living in the outside.haha
till then..
