i welcome myself back into the blogger world. i haven't updated since may, as you may have noticed.

i'm in the middle of my canoeing nationals now and the first day of it has been somewhat promising. rowing T2 with my partner, we managed a place in the semi-finals. we have the step up our competition tomorrow... today was such an enlightening day for me and probably many others. it spoke to me and moved my heart tremendously. when i started off in acjc canoe, training felt like a drag. i didn't know why trainings had to be so tough, so long and very much meaningless. why we had to train almost everyday, i had no idea cos at that point in time, there was nothing in mind i had or wanted to row for. every stroke i pulled and every lap i successfully completed only felt like a step towards completing training for the day. my vision and hopes for canoeing were non-existent. i felt like a hardcore amateur...

everything changed when i had someone to fight it with. and that is when my story started... now i realise that there's much to fight for when you're out there rowing either during training or at competitions. and in everyone i find a reason and a cause to row for. i must thank my coaches for inspiring us to give it our all as we rowed our final few sessions at mac..

well, there's so much i can say about my last few days of canoeing... but i don't know where to begin... i'm filled with so much mixed feelings now...

anyway, all i can say is... i have so many things to row for now!

i need to rest... tomorrow's another big day (=

goodnight people!
